Levy on War Profits the
Only Feature That Is
Not Criticised.
CALL OTHER ITEMS
BURDENS ON TRADE
Newspapers Point Out That All
Indirect Taxes Will Fall
on the Masses.

Berlin, Feb. 26 (via London, Feb. 81. J..
Few, of the German morning news
papers comment on the new taxation
measures announced yesterday, gen.
orally contenting themselves with re-
producing the governments explana-
ton of the various items.
The "Boersen Zeitung" alone eI-
presses cautious approval Of the new
taxation. II says it does not expect
especially sharp criticism of the
measures, which. IL declares. give the
impression that the government, in
drafting them, was concerned TO find
taxable objects which were able to bear
the new burden without smultaneously y
damaging seriously trade and com
merce.
The "Lokalanzeiger" analyzes the
measures, but does not openly express
any opinion regarding them. The news
paper points out, however. that the
taxation on the increment Of war in
comes signifies an invasion by the en-
pire into a domain heretofore exclu-
sively reserved TO individual states.
The "Berliner Tageblatt" approves
only the taxation of war profits All
clares, are nothing but further bur
dening Of trade and commerce, and the
taxation of Increases in property along
with incomes seems to the newspaper
20 be dubious expedient. The
"Tageblatt" says the tobacco tax is de-
fensible. but objects TO the other items,
and particularly 20 the taxation on ac-
quittances.
George Bernhard, in the "Vosssche
Zeitung," says:
1--WE consider in principle the great
est part of the new taxation proposals
is precisely As unnecessary as was the
increase in the income tax in Prussia
in view of the condition Of the Prus-
sian budget. But it seems to US as
though these new war taxation meas
ures we're not dictated 50 much by a
really present need as by a certain con-
sideration for the judgment OF other
countries"
Herr Bernhard declares the war
profit tax is morally and materially
justified 10 the fullest extent. lie also
warmly approves the taxation on in
creased property. He does rot object
10 the tobacco taxes. but he protests
sharply against the increase in postal
rates.
The "Yorwaerts" violently attacks
the whole measure. which. it says. "has
exactly the tendency which is TO be ex-
pectod namely, to affect the broad
masses"
This newspaper complains that the
rate Of taxation on war profits is ride
ulously inadequate. It assails also the
tobacco. stamp, postal and freight bill
taxes. saying:
"AM these indirect taxes In the last
analysis will not be borne By those
first affected. but will be shifted very
speedily on TO the broad masses of the
people, so far as they do not already
hit the propertyless classes directly. as
is the case in the increase of the postal
rates"
