0ctroi Taxes.
From The Chicago Tribune.

+ rom Inc chicago tribune.
The French government moved by the
food riots, which began In northern
France and are spreading to other parts
of the country. is considering the ex-
pediency of suspending the duties on for
eign meats and live stock That would
give some relief, but more speedy and.
perhaps, greater relief would be given
the city jewellers by the abolition of the
octroi taxes. If that were possible. The
dispatches say that the high cost Of liv-
ing is largely due to them.
They are taxes. unknown outside
France. Italy and a few places in Ger
many. which cities levy on drinkables,
eatables. fuel and few other articles
a market gardener drives into Paris with
a load OF cabbages he must pay so much
on each head. Inevitably the consumer
finally pays that tax. which. like other
consumption taxes, falls most heavily on
the poor.
One-tenth Of the proceeds Of these
food and fuel taxes goes to the state and
the remainder to the municipalities The
latter depend on them. and therefore are
unwilling to abandon them, though vi
cious in principle and oppressive in prac-
tice. The system of taxation which keeps
an American city going is unknown in
France.
AS 1t seems impossible to get rid of the
octroi taxes. the next best thing would
be to take off all customs duties on food
stuffs That certainly would bring down
the price Of bread and meat.

U.S.EXPORTS INCREASING
"DolIar Diplomacy" Held to Be
indicated by Trade
Expansion.

Dollar diplomacy" has found its vim
dication in the wonderful expansion OF
American foreign trade during the past
nscal year, in the opinion of the State
department, as embodied in a statement
prepared by the bureau of trade rela-
tons.
How well the American public engaged
In manufacturing and in producing
these commodities marketable abroad
has responded to the increased facilities
and opportunities recently developed by
the State Department in coordination
with governmental agencies is declared
to be demonstrated by comparative
statement of our foreign commerce
This discloses the fact that the exports
of domestic merchandise for the last
fiscal year amounted to $2,O49, 800. 100, ex-
ceeding the previous years showing by
$50, SSo, 40 They even surpassed t.,
sla5, COZ l6o the record for 1907. which
was a banner year for United States ex-
ports. A gratifying fact was that in
stead of being principally composed OF
raw materials. as was formerly the On Sc.
the exports last year were composed az
manufactured goods to the extent Of na
per cent, valued at $l.i0l. o53. 500 and
the result was a balance of trade in
Uncle Sans favor of $52a.U94 O94.

CHANCES FOR CIVILIANS
TOGET COMMISSIONS
Another Examination for
Army Vacancies to Be
Held in January.

The Secretary of War has ordered a
second examination of civilian candidates
for appointment as second lieutenants IN

ination will be for appointments In all
branches of the line of the army. incluo-
ing the cavalry. field artillery. coast ar

artillery and infantry and 11o for the
coast artillery There are about 200 va
cancies in all, 60 of which are In the
coast artillery. but of the 80 men now
competing it is believed that not more
than 100 at the outside will be successful.
It is even predicted that not more than
30 will pass the examination. In that
case there will remain for the January
examination between 100 and $50 vacan-
cies.
The reason that the War Department
officials think that there will be SO few
mon successful in the September exam
ination is that the standard In these ex-
aminations has been very much raised,
with the object OF getting graduates OF
the best colleges and technical schools.
