A new system has come in vogue
this year as the result of bill passed
by the storthing last year, compelling
everybody to report their own In
comes and capital. The result Of this
new order of things is not yet known
IN Christiania, as it will take long
time to schedule the total results.
But in all smaller places, where re-
suits are known, the taxable incomes
and capital have increased in 4
marked degree, all the way from 10
to 10 per cent Of their incomes. In
Chrtstianta the taxes have, during the
last three or four years, been reduced
from Is to about 10 per cent of the
incomes and it is about as low as
they are anywhere in Norway, while
In other communities and cities the
taxes range all the way up to is per.
cent, which, it is believed, is very
high record. At least we have never
heard anything to equal it. It is.
therefore quite natural that many
Norwegfans who have spent some
years in the United States and re-
turn home on visit to investigate
the possibilities Of returning, lose all
inclination to stay when they hear Of
the amount Of taxes they would have.

the burden. There have been good
times in Norway during the last few
years and the taxes upon incomes
