"despondency and homesickness are evil

Senator Owen, who is chairman Of the
Senate committee on banking and cur.

him, attributed much of the trouble to

said they saw American soldiers stand

FRANCES FINANCIAL
CONDITION WORRIES
The Matter Is Expected to Be Brought
Before the Chamber of Deputies
for a Discussion.

Paris, Sunday Feb l6.--The financial
situation in France is being given serious
attention by various committees and
groups of the Chamber of Deputies where
it will be the subject OF an Interpolation
soon.
Frances war expenses are expected to
total lS2 ,000,000 francs, with re-
sources of $4,000, ,000,0 900 francs, showing
a deficit of 24,000,OO0,000.
These resources comprise $4,000 900
francs from taxation, 000,000,000 from
four war loans, 2O,0O0,0 100000 advanced
by the Bank of France, the product of
short-time treasury bonds, together with
advances made by allies and credits
opened in foreign countries.
In addition to the $4,000, 100000 deficit
there are exceptional expenses, such as
compensation to civilians for war dam
age, which is moderately estimated at
10000 100000 francs; the cost of ex-
changing the German mark currency OF
Alsace- Lorraine, 2,500, 100000 francs; the
repayment of bonds issued in liberated
regions, l,500000,00; rehabilitation bo-
muses., estimated at between 2,000,000,000
and 6,0000O0000 francs, together with
other exceptional expenses which will
bring the estimated total to 26,00O,000,-
600, and make the total deficit 50,000,-
100000 francs.
II is reckoned that the expenses for
1920 will be ls500 100000 francs, of
which the existing budget can supply only
5000, 100000. The question is, therefore,
being discussed in French quarters
whether, apart from Germany's war con
tribution. new division Of war expenses
ought not to be considered by the allies
in order to distribute more equitably the
burden, which, it is contended, weighs
more heavily on France than on the
others.

SIZE OF STATE BOND
ISSUE DISCUSSED
Vermont Legislators Are Considering the
Situation Which COnfrents
the State.

Just how large bond issue the state
of Vermont will have to make to meet
the situation is being quite generally dis
cussed by the members of the legislature.
The commissioner Of taxes refers to
the matter Of taxes and bonds on page q
Of his report, and says:
In the last analysis there are but twt
ways 10 raise the money to meet our OBJ
legations, present and prospective, name
ly, by taxation, and the issue of bonds.
As has been well said, there is no mag
.cal proportion covering the use of the
Two sources of revenue. We must raise
as much as we can by taxation, and then
borrow the rest. 1t follows that the
more we can raise by taxation the less
we viii have to Use our credit and the
stronger will be our financial condition.
In my Judgment this is no time for
reckless experiments in taxation, or rad
ical or sweeping changes with resultant
confusion in tax laws. When we ascer-
tain how much money will be necessary
for us to raise, we can determine as a
matter of governmental policy and sound
judgment how much of the necessary
amount can be raised by taxation with
out seriously interfering with or strang-
ling essential and normal business or
disturbing or jeopardizing the sources of
revenue or the financing of the states
business for future years. With the
grand list Of the state end the amount
Of revenue heretofore d, lived from the
taxation of corporations, inheritance
taxes, and other sources all before us as
base, we can establish rate which
will produce such an amount of revenue
as We determine can safely and wisely
be produced by taxation. We must bor-
row the rest.
