China Is Learning.

China must be producing some
salt, seeing that the government ha:
been able to negotiate a loan o.
S25,ooo,ooo by pledging the revenue
from the salt tax for its repayment
In order to be sure of this revenue
however, the new republic has taken
not only the collection of the salt tax
into its own hands, but it has also
assumed the entire management of pro-
duction throughout the land.
China certainly has learned some
thing from the Occident in the way OF
carrying on business proftably
Inefficient plants are to be closed; salt
is to be sold at one price, with the
tax added, to the consumers. and the
middlenan is thus to be eliminated
The average cost of production is to
be the basis for uniform selling
price. The addition Of the tax at the
source of supply will remove all in
centive to smuggling and cheaper the
cost of administration.
A consular report states that the
cost to the consumer is not to be ad-
vanced and yet the net return of
revenue increased from $6S,ooo,ooo to
$I25, 100000 annually.
