ARGENTINA WILL
TAX ALL INCOMES,

Buenos Aires. Argentina.-The fi-g
nancial difficulties or the Argentine
government. are admittedly serious,
and something heroic is undoubtedly
necessary to overcome them. Constant
diminutfon nthe publicrevenues urges
the need for the adoption of meas-E
sures tending to replace the falling on:
shown in, the customs returns, thea
chief source OF the fiscal supply and
the press of the country is urging the
government to face and settle this
question before making arbitrary ar
rangements for consolidation OF loans
and the contraction of new debts,
which under the circumstances, can
but lead to further embarrassment.
1t Is pretty generally known, though
it had not been officially announced,
that the government is now outlining
a measure which will provide for a
tax on the income of individuals and
corporations. The revenue from thss
customs is pressed to the utmost. and
any attempt to force it still further.
by higher tariffs win merely result
in further contraction Nor can the
internal dues be counted upon to give
more funds to the Treasury than they
now supply. Other taxes must, there
fore, be imposed, and government
leaders evidently have decided upon
an income tax. Z. -.
1t appears that the only just and
practicable course is to tap invested
capital that as yet pays nothing out
of it's yield toward the upkeep of the
state. 1t is estimated that there are
| 100000 in foreign gold invested in
the country, yielding $40, 600, 900 in
dividends. which pay no tav. Then
there are the incomes of capitalists
from their investments, also bearing
no taxation.
| Regarding the debts of the present
administration, st is only fair to say
that great many of them have been
Inherited. Figures which have just
been compiled by one of the newspa-
pers show that the deficiencies that
| have occurred in the fiscal years from
1911 to 1915 amounted to $157. 93z,-
IS40 gold, and the fiscal year Of 1915
a deficit of $49,324,000.
/ Definite figures are not available
for the fiscal year ending March 81
Of this year, but officials Of the au-
diting department of the Treasury
estimate that the deficit will be be-
tween $44,000,090 and $46,20o,o00.
Taking the last figure as probably the
closest it will be seen that the deficits
left over after disposing of the bud
gets of the last seven years total
$253,466,s40 geld due mostly to mis-
judging revenues.

ANTWERP A PRIZE.

Few other cities of the world have.
had as varied history as Antwerp,
the city of bikes and the principal
port, of Belgium, which has been in
possession of the Germans since Oct.
9. 1914. The occupation of Antwerp
by the Germans added another chap
ter to the city's record Of sieges, for
it has been taken many times in the
conflicts of the past. The most note
worthy of the sieges Of Antwerp, and
the first in modern times, was that
which eliminated with the capture of
thee ity by the Prince of Parma 332
years ago today, Aug. IT, 1885. On
that occasion Antwerp had withstood
the invaders for IA months before
surrenderfng.
Antwerp is mentioned in history as
early as 515, and it was a tiny repub-
II Gin the eleventh century. For, CEN
turtles Antwerp, which means "at the
wharf''-was the commercial me-
tropolis of Europe. In the sixteenth
century it attained its greatest SPLEEN
dour and prosperity. and ships from
every part of the world sailed to the
Scheldt.
A city so important and rich was
coveted by many nations. In the lat
ter half of the sixteenth century the
Duke OF Alva sought to place the
business of the city in the hands of
the Spaniards, and expelled thousands
of native merchants. The Spanish
soldiers ruled as. tyrants, burning
and pil1aging as they pleased. Then
came the great SIEGE" which result
ed in the capture of Antwerp by the
Prince of Parma. It was an empty
victory, however, for during the years
Of oppression Antwerp had lost most
of its trade, and its population had
| dwindled from 10000 to less than
10000 The final blow to Antwerps
greatness. came in 1648, when the
| imposition of toll on the Sche1dt
| practically shut off Antwerp from
| seagoing vessels. In 1746 the city
was taken by the French, but it had
been reduced to a mere squalid vii
lage, and its commercial supremacy
was but memory. So it remained
until 1892, when it was again occu-
pied by the French. They withdrew
the following year. but returned in
| 1894. When Napoleon attained power
he recognized the Importance of Ant
werp, and rebuilt it's wharves and re-
vived it's commerce. In 1914 the AL
| les besieged Antwerp and after q
brave defense by General Carnot the
/ city was surrendered to General Ora.
ham of the British army.
After the downfall of Napoleon
| Antwerp, with all of Belgium, was
awarded to the Netherlands. Ir
1880, when the new government OF
Belgium was set up, the city wa.
| claimed by the Belgians, but it wa.
not relinquished by the Dutch unit
after fierce engagement. Then 6
new era of prosperity began for Ant
werp, although the Dutch sought tt
hinder it's growth on several occasion.
| by closing the Sche1dt. At the timt
| of the outbreak of the war now raging
| in Europe, Antwerp had population
of 400, 900, and it was again the grea
clearing house for central Europe
| while it's industries fourished a.
i never before. The German occupa
ton has changed all this. and, will
it's commerce gone and its population
dwindling, Antwerp is once more {
city of desolation.

The whiskey makers fought to the
last ditch and lost They sought by
every stretch of technical interpreta-
ttion of the law to secure a 24-houl
period of distillation beyond that al
lowed by last nights ruling. They
wanted to continue to make whiskey
up to the last possible minute. AND
they sought to work through Sunday
September 9, in order to take advan-
