Accords Compensation
to Peoples for Ruin

London, June 30.-A peace message
from President Wilson to the Daily Mail
and the Weekly Dispatch, printed today
in the latter publication follows:
MANY things crowd into the mind to
be said about the peace treaty but the
thot that stands out in front of all 9TH
ers is that by the treaty terms the great
est possible measure of compensation
has been provided for peoples whose
homes and lives were wrecked by the
storm of war and security has been Civ
en- them that the storm shall not arise
again Insofar as we came together to
insure these things the work of the con-
ference is finished, but in larger sense
it's work begins today. In answer to
an unmistakable appeal, the league of
nations has been constituted and a COW
cnant has been drawn which shows the
way to international and standing peace.
ave stand at the crossroads, however,
and the way is only pointed out. Those
who saw through the travail of the war

far mankind must now consecrate their
lives to its realization"

GERMANS Plan
HIGHER RATES
Of TAXATION
New Financial Program Would
Produce $4,000, 100000
Marks Increase.
lnheritances to Wealthy Per-
sons Will Be Placed as High
as so Per Cent.

Berlin. Friday, June 27.-(By The
Associated Press) The ministry of fl
nance has completed new financial pro-
gram which will be submitted to the
national assembly during the next ses-
sion Of that body.
Since DIR. Schiller, former minister
of finance, promulgated his original plan,
the peace treaty has been framed, nee
essitating the raising Of twelve billion
marks more than originally estimated so
that basic revision is necessary.
Three of the bills to be submitted do
not have a permanent money raising
character, but are emergency measures.
The tax on war profits falls into two
classes and hits individuals and corpora
tions. Excess profits over peace earn
inzs would be taxed, in the case of in
dividuals, on everything over 1900 marks
up to 10000 marks at five per cent.
Above 10000 marks, the rate would in
crease proportionately as the profits in
crease until it reaches 80 per cent. Ex-
cess profits earned by corporations in
1919 will! be taxed up to so per cent in
stead OF 6O per cent as in 1918.
"A war surrender of excess income
would be resorted to in the work Of col
iecting from individuals all income in
creases above 5000 marks in 1910. The
inheritance tax would be more drastic
than ever and heirs would be doubly
handicapped because the government
awould first tax the property of all
descendants and then levy another tax
when the property passes to the heir.
The financial status of the heirs would
etso determine the rate of taxation. Thus,
large Inheritance received by a veal
thy person would pay as high as so per
cent to the state.
The taxes Of individual German states
would be unified, and real estate near
fortresses which would become more val
liable when the strongholds are disman-
tied, would help to pay the empires fl
nancial expenses. Tobacco and sugar
taxes would be increased and those on
matches and wax paper would be doubled.
high protective duty would be imposed
on imports to protect home industries,
structive and educational gatherings
would be taxed on the number of tickets
issued to patrons, or on the sums receiv-
ed from the sale of food or drinks, if
the performance is free. Playing cards
would yield so cents per deck.
The government estimated that the
increase in taxes over last year from
various sources would be as follows:
Tobacco 4OO,OOO.OOO marks: inheri-
tances. 47O,OOO,O0O; sugar, 10000, 900;
recreations, 30,0OO,000; matches, etc,
2S,OO0,O 900; real estate, 74,00O,0OO and
playing cards, 100000. The income
tax for 1919 is expected to bring an in
crease Of 100000 marks and property
confiscations will bring an estimated sum
of 100000 marks.
