ARGENTINA To
TAX INCOMES
GOVERNMENT LEADERS DECIDED
ON STEP TO MEET NATIONS
FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES.

Bueno Aires. Argentina. Aug. by
Mam.-The financial difficulties Of the
Argentine government are admittedly
serious, and something heroic is un.
dOubtedly necessary 20 overcome them
Constant diminution in the public rev
enues urges the need for the adoption
Of measures tending TO replace the fan.
ing off shown in the customs returns,
the 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 20 further embarrassment
II is pretty generally known, though
ia 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 the
customs is pressed 10 the utmost, and
any attempt 70 force Il still further
by higher tariffs viii merely result in
q further contraction. Nor can the in
ternal dues be counted upon TO give
more funds to the treasury than they
now supply. Other taxes must there.
fore, be imposed, and government lead
ers evidently have decided upon an in
come tax.
Il 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 IL is estimated that there are
three billion in foreign gold invested in
the country yielding Sl70.D00.O00 in
dividends. which pay no tax. Then
there are the incomes Of capitalists from
their investments. also bearing no taxa
ti0n
Regarding the debts Of the present
administration, IL is only fair to say
that great many Of them have been
inherited Figures which have just
been complied by one of the newspapers
show that the deficiencies that have oc.
CURED in the fiscal years from 1911 10
1915 amounted to $157932.84O gold. and
the fiscal year Of 1916 left a deficit Of
24g.3z4 600.
Definite figures are not available for
the fiscal year ending March 81 OF this
year. but officials of the auditing de.
partment OF the treasury estimate that
the deficit win be between S44.0O0,0OO
and SiG,20OO0O. Taking the last figure
as probably the closest It win be seen
that the deficits left over after disposing
of the budgets Of the last seven years
total 1888, ,4G6S4O gold, due mostly to
mlsjudging revenues.

A young officer Of the guards swore
that when he was sitting In the library
a phantom female figure passed him

the walls His statements created a
sensation IN the castle, because the IT,

The extent Of the explosion may be
judged by the fact that two farm

if it would be destroyed.
