Used American Ideas.

While Mr. Lloyd George has followed
his predecessors in his system of taxa
ton, except that he has increased the rate
Of income and supertax and death duties.
SO that the wealthy have to pay the lions
share he has gone to other countries for
some of his ideas. His taxation OF site
values Is based on the law now in vogue
in British Columbia. while he has gone
to the American income tax law for the
idea OF making money accruing to British
subjects from investments abroad pay its
share OF taxation.
In recent years British capitalists have
made immense investments in foreign
countries When the income from these
investments was brought home to be
spent the government. under the old law,
levied income tax on it-that is. when
the government could discover it, But
when the income was reinvested abroad
the old law did not touch 1t. Now Lloyd
George says all income of British sub
jects resident in the United Kingdom
must contribute to the imperial revenue.
These foreign investments are estimated
at over billion and a half dollars. and
from this the chancellor hopes to secure
81 900 this year and double that
amount next year. The total increase of
revenue from income tax and death du
ties this year will amount to something
like S44,OOOO0O.

RICH BEAR THE BURDEN

New Budget of Lloyd George Makes
Heavy Inroads on
Incomes.

LONDON. May 21.-Under the new
scheme Of taxation introduced by David
Lloyd George. chancellor Of the ex-
chequer, in his budget for 1914-15 a man
having an income from a capital of SIS,
100000 dollars will have to pay one-third
of his income in taxes.
In the first place. he has to pay %
cents on every IS in income tax: then he
has to pay a similar amount in super
tax, and when he dies 81 on every five
Of what Is left has to be paid for death
and estate duties. The total is figured at
just under one-third of the income.
This calculation has been made by Sir
William Lever. one Of the millionaires
who will have to pay. but who does not
object.
II like it, he said. I'm my view the
ideal system of taxation, both local and
imperial. is through the income tax. the

What Next?

To teachers and those conten-
plating teaching:
Public schools will soon close.
Teachers have had an average
of about six months on the pay
roll at perhaps an average salary
of $50 per month, netting them
$3.50 for the year, or an equiva-
lent of $50 per month for the
year. In other words, the ecu
Gated teachers salary for the
year is less than that of the un-
educated day laborer.
The President of the Texas
State Teschers' Association made
the statement couple of years
ago before the state convention,
that 5000 teachers quit the pro-
fession in Texas annually. Can
you blame them, when you COM
pare their annual earning capaci-
ty with that of any other class of
educated men and women. The
bookkeeper or stenographer or
operator gets, as a beginner,
from $50 to $500 per month
twelve months in the year, and
soon receive an advance in salary
and it isn't long before they are
promoted to assistant managers
or managers of large business
concerns where they draw a
salary of from $4,000 to 5000 per
year.
The teaching profession is a
noble charitable one, but are you
content to work in the charity
