OF Commons by announcing that the

lieved suspense by announcing that as
SUGAR il now a government monopoly
the price to the consumer would only

additional chargo certain 10 be imposed
By the manufacturers ard the retailers.
This will represent considerable addi-
ton to the housekeeping expenses OF
the average family. Then there is the
abolition Of one cent postage, while
the weight carried for two cents is
greatly reduced. A double duty on
patent medicines, a 80 per cent increase
in the min mum cost OF kilograms and
double duty on petrol also will affect
small incomes.
Taxes on Foreign Imports.
Mr.. McKenna was equally drastic in
measures intended 20 restrict foreign
imports and to restrict the consump-
tion Of articles of luxury when he add
ed 33 1-3 per cent TO the ad valorem
duty on automobiles, bicycles, motion
picture films, clocks, watches. musical
instruments, plate glass and hats.
The automobile dealers already have
started an agitation against this inter
ference with their business, they hav-
ing had the best time of their lives
selling American cars since the war
started, but the molten picture con-
Germs, VINO are commencing TO fight
American films, will welcome the new
impost.
A heavy tax on the profits Of manu-
facturers of war supplies also was pro-
posed by the Chancellor. Fifty per
cent of all war profits above the amount
assessed for the income tax last year
will be subjected to a special tax,
/ which works out at so per cent of the
profits. Mr.. McKenna estimated the
revenue from this source in full year
at e30,00O,000 (S150,000, ,000).

Yesterday marked the end of the

its worst effects, according TO the ply

Grece, Serbia and Rumania are

Teutons launch a drive through tho

her lot with the Germans.
From Berlin come reports that
the Serbian government has declared
the Serbo- Bulgarian frontier dis
trict war zone. IL is also reported
that Bulgarian troops are concen-
trated near the Serbian frontier, z
and that German and Austro-H Hun Z

Of Macedonians who joined the Bul-

From trustworthy sources it Is de-
clared that traffic on Bulgarian rail
roads has been suspended temporarily.
Official reports from Austria and
German Headquarters and dispatches
from the Balkan capitals show that
the long expected Teutonic campaign
against Serbia has now begun. Austri-

lBy Gable TO The Tribunal

London. Sept. 22.-The Chancellor OF
the Exchequer. Reginald McKenna, IN
troduced the greatest budget in his
tory yesterday. imposing taxes when
will mean the greatest financial sacri-
fees for every section of the com
munty. from the rich man with an IN
come Of 100000 yearly, who will pay
Sl7O.145 income tax. to the humbiest
workgirl, who will find every necessity
of lifo raised In price.
II was not only Mr.. McKenna's first
budget, but also the first real war
budget dealing with the largest figures
ever mentioned in state finance, and
providing for the largest revenue ever
raised by any country.
II covers an area Of taxation before
unthought of. It disregards all fiscal
theories, and directs itself largely to
reducing consumption at home and dis
couraging importation. Taking ac-
count OF the additional taxes imposed
by Mr.. Lloyd George last May, the
present British revenue stands at ST.
800, 100000. while expenditure is on a
basis of 100000 daily. and will
probably rise later to s25 900 900 day.
The war services, plus the normal
outgoing, will bring the total expendi-
ture to $3.50, 100000 for the coming
fiscal year.
10 Per Cent Income Tax Increase.
The drastic rise of 40 per cent in the
income tax will hit the lower middle
class especially hard. A man earning
50. 900 a year under Mr.. Lloyd George S
previous increase had to pay $50 in
come tax yearly. Now he will pay
$40, because not only is the tax in
creased, but he is not allowed to claim
as much abatement as previously.
The additional supertax will also hi
the rich terrifically, because. as already
acknowledged, il has now reached the
practical limit. Even the moderately
rich will be severely embarrassed. A
man earning $4,000 year will pay
S5.l45 in income tax alone.
The excess profit tax will only affect
profits made from the war, but az so
per cent. including those who have
made money from agencies, it Is GER
