HOW JAPAN DOES IT.

Japan has met in a practical and
effective way the shortage in dyestuffs
and chemicals occasioned by the great
war and because the world depended
chiefly for it's supply of these things
on Germany. A law was recently put
in operation in Japan granting gov
eminent subsidies for the manufac-
ture of dyes and chemicals. 1t has
resulted already in the formation of
four companies; one a dyestuff con-
Germ, another to manufacture glycerin,
third to make medicinal and chem
ical products, specializing in formalin
and it's derivatives and other carbon
compounds, and a fourth which will
confine its activities to producing me-
dicinal compounds. The promoters of
such subsidized companies are re-
quired in case of chemicals to apply
to the minister of Agriculture and
Commerce for permission, and in the
case of drugs to the minister of Home
Affairs. When part of the capital is
paid up, the first general meeting of
the shareholders completed, and the
new company registered in the courts
the promoters are entitled to ask for a
subsidy. This is to be available for
not more than ten years from the date
of the enactment of the law. The
amount to be paid by the government
is to be such as to make the dividends
the company pays in each business
year reach a rate of eight per cent on
the paid up shares. In other words.
Japan is encouraging capital to get
busy and produce the things the ma
: ton needs. But in this country can

the protection to which it is entitled

WAR PROSPECTS.

Henry Clews, the New York banker
expresses the opinion that a state of
war between the United States and
Germany, which might follow a break
in diplomatic relations on the subma-
r1ne warfare question, would not re-
suit in very serious consequences to
the United States Our most vulner-
able point would be the relatively
small American fleet of merchant
ships, which would, of course, be sub
ject to submarine attack. A big bond
ISSUE would be one of the accompani-
ments or such a war, he thinks; and
he points out that one result of the
war would be that the country would
have to face important increases in
taxation. 1.-THE preparedness move
ment alone" he adds will prove very
costly and may require an additional
expenditure of 5000, 100000 to $780,
100000 a year. What actual war
would cost cannot be foretold but it
would certainly be several times the
cost of preparedness. Various means
of raising further taxation are already
being discussed; such as an increase
in the rate of the income tax, its
extension to smaller salaries, an in
crease in the inheritance tax, and also
a rise in the tariff. Not much addi-
tional revenue could be obtained
through the latter source, for the
reason that when the tariff reaches
the prohibitive standpoint, it automat-
ically ceases to be a revenue pro-
Queer. States and municipalities are
also adding to the burdens of the tax
payer; the general disposition being
to tax property wherever feasible, and
not infreQuently with a flavor of vim
dictiveness. Thus far there is no wide
public opposition to increased taxes
simply because the average man is
ignorant of the fact that all taxes have
a tendency to distribute themselves
and in time are ultimately passed on
and paid by the consumer, who bliss
fully sleeps in the delusion that his
more prosperous neighbor pays the
tax. Taxation is one of the most
pressing problems of the day, and will
soon become more so, especially
abroad One of the most dis
turbing features of the present situa-
ton is the labor crisis, which is really
a sequence of the war OF the intense
industrial activity which it has been

Wages in many industries have al
