WEALTHY FRANCE
Is Spending Money at an
Alarming Rate.
Economists Alarmed at Size
Of The Budget.

Danger Of Bankruptcy, Despite
Thrift Of the People.

Paris, March Notwithstanding
Frances enormous wealth and the
vast noarded earnings of her thrifty
| people, French economists are alarm
ed over the financial outlook.
The budget has reached the 4000.-
100000 francs ($SOO, OOO 0OO mark with
only a beginning MADE upon the ex-
tensve program of reforms, involv-
ing the expenditure of hundreds of mil
! lions, which is being urged upon Par
Lament by the advanced Socialists.
The income tax bill. the rates OF
which can be progressively increased
is the measure by which the Socialists
| expect ultimately to take from the
Wcll-tC-dO classes the funds necessary
to carry out their reforms. The strug-
gle of the opposing forces has called
attention to an interesting. controversy
now being threshed out in the French
and English Iapers as to the relative
material we'll being of the working
classes in the two countries.
Figures compiled by the English
Board of Trade. giving the wages
and cost Of living in France compared
with those in England. concludes that
the English workingman has the better
of the situation in respect to his cur
rent expenditures. but that the adj
VantagpS accruing to the English
workingmaHs' are partly offset by the
Frenchman'S natural sense of thrift
and economy. The French working
man pays less rent than the English
man, but the Frenchman pays much
more for food and at the same time
gets lower wages. Boots and shoes
and clothing cost 50 per cent. more in
France than in England. and 70 81
generally is very much higher. Fuel
is almost twice as high. On the 9th ar
hand the French enjoy the advantage
of more steady employment. which is
lar:;cl.' accounted for by the fact that
SO per cent. live in the country. where
as 50 per cent. of the English working
mon are crowded into the cities.
\ remarkable feature of French lie
is tire aid furnished by the wife':;
waee-earning capacity. Her contribu-
ton is IS per cent. of the total French
family income. In Rouen 81 per cent.
Of the housewives contribute to the
support of the family. The small siLe
of the French family also gives the
French a natural advantage in the
struggle for life. Above all. however.
the English report lays stress upon
the natural French habit of saving
as preventing economic crises in fam
lilies, the family generally managing
to put away from ITO of u Of the an
nual income.
Another interesting point brought
out by recent investigation is that one
of the economies in the French work
ingman's household comes from the
eating of horsefesh, a consumption
that is yearly augmenting. Of all the
meat eaten in France TODAY over II
per cent. is horsemeat. This is due not
so much to poverty as to the working
mans choice and taste for horseflesh.

Hunters of the Maine skunk who
have held back their skins until the
present date will find that they have
made a mistake, for while the skunk
skin market is strong in a certain
sense there has been a decline in price
three times within the past two weeks.
The price for the best skins during the
winter was $2.o5, but it has now de-
creased 30 per cent. The outlook for
tho muskrat hunters is better. the in
dications being that there will be a 10
per cent rise over the prices Of last
year. 1t is expected that the large No.
spring rat skins will bring A. cents.
