FRENCH CABINET RESIGNS
Defeated on Tax Question, They Quit

point New Ministers.

Paris, Dec. 1.-The government of
Premier Barthou was defeated by a
vote of POO to 265 in the chamber of
deputies on the question whether the
loan Of $260,000,000 should be subject
to taxation or immune like the exist
ing rentes.
AS soon as the vote was read the
ministers left the chamber in a body
and proceeded to Elysee palace.
where they handed their designations
to President Poincare.
The debate was on the question of
extending to the new loan the same
immunity from taxation as enjoyed
by the old rentes. and the government
again made it a question of a vote of
confidence. The opposition urged that
to exempt the new rentes would en-
able those investing exclusively in
these to evade unfairly the projected
income tax
