AUSTRALIANS PLAN A
BIG ISSUE OF NOTES
Labor Leaders Against Rights of
the States

SYDNEY, N. S. w, Sept. 1.-Some
alarm seems to have been created in
Australia by the proposal of the fed
eral government to institute common
wealth note issue. 1t is true that
state bank has for years been a prom
inent plank in the labor platform, but
it was evidently expected that the re-
sponsibility of office would restrain
the ministry from lightly making a
departure of such far-reach1ng inn
portance as that now contemplated.
Prime Minister Fisher, who is also the
federal treasurer, appears to have sat
isfed himself of the soundness and
expediency of the project, and talks OF
issuing notes to the amount of some
$40 900, 900, q total which is said to
equal nearly eight-ninths Of the pres
ent note circulation of the common
wealth. He estimates that the profit
on the venture will work out at $780,
900. This, however, will be earned
largely at the expense OF the states,
who now derive $375,000 a year from
note taxation. But this fact does not
disturb Mr.. Fisher in the least. He
is the leader of a party which is frank
ly hostile to state rights and eager
to abridge them. The community,
however, is threatened with the enor-
nous evil of a paper currency not
backed by sufficient reserve of gold.
For every $5 note issued by the Aus
tralian banks there is a reserve of at
least $50 in gold in the strong room.
Mr.. Fisher talks of a reserve of $1.25,
but even this, trifiing and inadequate
as it is, he will be unable to main
tain.

HIGH TAX CAUSES FRENCH
TO SMOKE POOR TOBACCO
ImpoSt on Weed Raised from 10
to SO Per Cent

PARIS, Sept. 1.-Taxation sometimes
overreches itself. If the present temper
of smokers in France continues the
result of the new imposts on tobacco
will spell disaster The prices of all
French tobacco, cigars and clgarets'
except the cheapest, and the duties on
all imported kinds were raised from
10 to SO per cent last May. At the
end of June the sale shows deficiency
ON previous months of $341,2O0. The
treasury comforted itself with the ar
gument that smokers were burning up
the advance supplies they had bought
before the new taxes came into force.
The returns for July are to hand
and damage that consoling argument
considerably The estimate for the
month was SS, 400, ,000 The figure turns
is there a deficit on the estimate but
falling off of nearly 100000 as com
pared with last year. The total deficit
upon the estimates for tobacco sales
since the new taxes exceeds $5OO,00O IN
two months. The Anti-Tobacco league
is thinking of sending a telegram or
thanks to the French minister OF
finance.
But the probable reason of the deficit
is not that the Frenchmen smoke less,
but that they smoke worse tobacco.
Many people, instead of increasing
their expenditure to suit the treasury
reduced the quality of their smokes to
suit their purses and, one on the path
of economy, paid not only no more than
before, but less. Apparently the only
course for the treasury is to charge
more for all tobacco, including the
cheapest. but there would be howls OF
execration from the majority of the
adult male population and not In
significant minority of the ladies.

MONKEYS THRIVE IN
COLD AIR OF WINTER
Experiment in Chicago Shows
Value of Plan

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-Dr. William
Evans tried fresh air experiment on
the monkeys in the Lincoln park ZOO.
Take your twenty healthy monkeys
inside, as usual, this winter" he told
Cy De Vry, but keep the five sick
ones outside. 1t will be interesting to
see what will happen"
But they can't stand it; the cold air
will kill them" protested the keeper.
IF it does you won't lose much, or
the monkeys either, for at best they
can only live few weeks"
AS the winter came on these five i'll
tropical animals were kept In place
where they We're constantly exposed
to its chilling draughts. They became
perforce fresh air cranks. A thatched
shelter was provided, into which they
could retreat when the weather be-
