charities and to religion.
Among the public institutions now
managed by women may be mention
ed the Nurse association, the Red
Cross society, the Patriotic associa-
ton, Fukuden-Kwai and Jkei-a
hospital Women are also interested
in many productive industries and in
art activities. There are also now
women doctors, and the department of
communications employs women Of
ficials. Physical culture for women is
also being adopted with energy and
this is q fitting sequel to the Samurai
injunction that required women to
regulate their emotions and suppress
all those weaknesses that their west
ern sisters usually attribute to nerves.
The Womans university of Japan
may be taken as an expression OF
Japanese ideas upon the question of
education for women. II was found

9S1. Thirty years later the debt had
risen to S1120,000,O00 This immense
increase was due mainly to the Chi
nese and Russian war. and a continu-
ing expenditure on a large scale is
necessitated by the national defense.
In the year 1908 the army and navy
cost $144,1S9, 1S3 Between April /,
1895. and March /, 1903, the army cost
$376.0s5,0Ss and the navy 1913, 443,440.
The national defense has cost a total
of $3.50, 423,523 within fourteen years
and this without counting the cost of
the Russian war Corea, Formosa and
Manchuria have demanded heavy
expenditures. A merchant marine has
been established, many extensive pub
lie works undertaken, including rail-
ways, telegraphs and telephones, and
all these things have been done by a
country that contains only $4,000
square miles of arabic soil.
Under such conditions 1t lis easy to
believe that taxation is the question
OF the day in Japan and has been SO
for many years. Since the outbreak
Of the Russian war the land tax has
ranged from 3 per cent. to IT'S per
cent. The tax on liquors ranges from
IS per 40 gallons up to 1140b per
40 gallons, according to the percent
age of alcohol
Then comes the income tax, which
is arranged upon sort of graduated
scale. Before the war the tax paid
by 'juridicat' persons was pa per
cent, but after the war an additional
tax was levied equal to so per cent.
up to 400 per cent of the ordinary
rate. An income tax of 2 per cent.
was also levied on public loan funds
and company debentures. III other
persons not already assessed as above
pay rate in proportion to their in

income of 800 yen (s150) per annum
paid ] per cent, and this increased
according to the income up to 5h
per cent. Now the lowest income pays
10 per cent. and the highest 20.35 per
cent. There are various exceptions.
such as army and navy officers while
engaged in war, widows, orphans. pen
sioners, etc. There us also tax on
textiles, an excise duty on sugar, and
q substantial revenue from the post
office. The customs tariff also is re-
sponsible for a substantial income
amounting to about $22 900 900 a year.
Mention should also be made of the
state monopolies of tobacco, salt and
camphor, worth about So, 900
year.
Adachi Kinnosuki describes the will.
ingness of the Japanese people to be
taxed and their accomplishing re-
Spouse to demands that are necessi-
tated by the good of the country. His
statement is so remarkable that II fl
worthy of quotation. He says:
In 1895 we went to wanwith China.
Our government wanted money. and
wanted 1t badly. 1t let our people know
about its needs in terms of war loans.
To the first call the people answered
by putting up $4,000, 600 The govern
ment wanted more. and on the second
call 1t succeeded in getting from the
people $4,000. 000-in all $40 600 900.
The people gave this amount very
willingly. That fact was very plain
on the very face of II. II was widely
advertised also. The thing that was
not so well known. especially outside
of the country, however, was that this
was all that the people could do at
the tile-and little more. Nine

years later came the Russian war.
Once more the government talked to
the people in the unpleasant language
of government loans. The people OF
Japan, however, apparently enjoyed
this bitter talk. Indeed they became
enthusiastic about it. Five times the
government talked to the people and
five times the people replied by giving
up altogether $300,000,000. In addition
to this amount we raised about $780,.
100000 from foreign loans. AS in the
time Of the Chinese war. the willing
ness of the people, their enthusiasm,
their appreciation OF the honor OF
emptying their pocketbooks for the
state was the same. Ours is the Spar.
tan ideal-no consideration for the in
diyidual, everything for the state.
What was not exactly the same was
that our people had very much hard
er time in putting up the $40,000,000
at the time of the Chinese war than in
surrendering 100000 600 at the time
of the Russian war"
The Japanese government is now
carrying out a Scneme IOf paying OH
the principal of the national debt.
Prime Minister Katoura decided that
the country must raise at least $685.
If this can be maintained Japan will
have paid her war debts in less than
thirty years.
But she will not find the task an
easy one She will have to call again
upon a patriotism that has never fail
ed her, but that cannot perform the
impossible. 1t may be doubted If the
taxes can be pushed any higher than
they ere now and even the most will
ing taxpayers cannot pay when they
do not possess. The annual taxation
now amounts to almost 16 yen ($S)
and this is a very large sum indeed
when we remember that the average
earnings are very small In 1904 an
estimate was made of the monthly ex-
penses of the average Japanese family
OF four, and it is probably fairly cor.
rect at the present time. 1t is as fol
