FOR ABOLITION OF
 WAR FINANCE
German Vice Chancellor De. clares Empire Has Heavy
 Burden.
(By the Associated Press.)


 Berlin, Tuesday, July 8.-Germany is to quickly return to peace time financial system, said Matthias Erz- berger, vice chancellor and minister of finance, speaking at Weimar be- fore the German national assembly today. Among other things the pay ment of grants to men who are un- employed will be reduced, it was in- dicated during his address.
 "The empires needs must be de- vided henceforth between home needs and indemnities," he said.
 "The years expenditures confront ing us will amount to about 17,500,- 00OOOO marks. I am firmly resolved to tread the hard path of economy and there fore have given out the watch word that from October 1, 1919, there shall be no more items not detailed and there shall be no more funds. The war finance system shall cease and regular budget sys- tenn must be established The first guiding principle is that there must be no more unproductive expenditures. Therefore a gradual abolition of non- employment grants must be faced How are the full requirements for the empire, new states and communies, which may be estaimated at some 25, 900 100000 marks to be covered ?"
 After citing the returns to the em- pire from taxation measures, prior to and during the war, and estimat- ing the revenue to be derived from new tax bills, Herr Erzberger said:
 Deficit of 10 Billion Marks.
 "There still remains sum of over ten billion marks to be covered.
 "The ministry of finance has almost completed the drafting of two impor- tant bills levying new taxes which I intend to submit to the house before the parliamentary recess" He con- tinued.
 "The call for large single levy on property and large tax on busi- ness turn over but even if these bills are passed, the money for the pay ment of indemnities must be obtained in some other way.
 "In the autumn new bills will be introduced in the assembly with the final object of covering this deficit
 "Thc burdens of taxation will, reach an absolutely terrible height. A float. ing debt of 72,O00,000, 1000 marks is a constant danger and the removal of this debt is one of our most urgent taksk. There are two ways to do it either it's conversion into a funded loan or it's extinction by big levies and heavy property tax. I do not indulge the hope that these two ways will immediately include the entire liquid amount of 100000 ,000. marks. It is the duty of propertied people, not only to bow to state of compulsion but to achieve an inward kin as to 1 the necessity as to giving up all riches and all that is superfluous.
 Changes in the system of taxation will be speedily submitted to national assembly and this reform will repre- sent the compltion of the whole work. y Herr Erzberger concluded by ask ing that taxation bills be disposed of before recess is taken, adding:
 "The war takes our riches. The world has denied us international jus tice All the more passionately and energetically, however, will we work for the homeland again and, flourish ing in justice, concentrate our care , ond endeavor upon the poor but just { German"
