1t is estimated that the Kaiser

war levy.

Government the Socialists rather ia
vorcd the bill. For in their opinion il
created most useful precedent for
future State lcvies on property and
capital. a precedent which they expect
to turn to excellent account when they
eventually secure "A legislative majority
in the parliament Of the empire.
The levy is of a graduated scale and
Of a very complicated character and is
imposed on every man. woman and
child who has n minimum income If
$3.50 a year or minimum property or
fortune Of s2.50O. The rating is from
one-half per cent. to and even 10 per
cent, the largest fortunes and incomes
paying the heaviest percentage. Thus
a person whose fortune does not exceed

to the tune Of one-half of I per cent.
thereon, whereas some one who has an
income OF that amount. namely of $1,000
n year. Is called upon to pay in the
neighborhood of 3 per cent.
The levy Is imposed upon both capi-
tai and income: 50 that there IL no es-
cape for professional men and women
with good earnings but who live up to
the limit of their income and have no
property. II the professional man hap
pens to have put by $4,000 and has
an income from his calling Of say $4,000
he has to pay on both.
The Kalser's fortune Is estimated ut
$35, 900, 900. ON this he will have to pay
something over $4,000 while the levy
on his income Of $5,5OO,0O0 will amount
to 8 per cent. or $4,000. making a
grand total Of near $1,0O0.OO0 which HI
will have to contribute to TIE WehT-
beitrag or special war levy. For EN-
peror William and all the other reign

Germany have waived their constitu-
