ments where the illegal betting oc- cured would be closed for certain periods. Deputy Bouyssou proposes that il- legal betting be suppressed by the creation of a state organization ot control, and the imposition of tax at race tracks and other places. A tax of six per cent. on the estimated 10 100000 francs illegally bet daily would bring the French government a revenue of 6OO,O0O francs daily, o1 for the 33O racing days, an annual revenue from this source of 100000 900 francs.
 To this would be added 100000 or 5O,O00,000 francs from tax on book betting which would be re-es- tablished and allowed in special enclosure under the Bouyssou meas ure. This bill also proposes the creation of free betting offices in Paris and all cities of more than 100000 inhabitants.

MilliOnaireS' Life
 Will Become Hard
 One With Germans

Berlin, Jan. 12.-The lot of the multi millionaire in Germany will be hard one under the new emer- gency levy and income and inherit ance taxes. Dr. Felix Primer, finan cial writer of the Berlin Tageblatt, estimates that under these taxes German industrial fortunes of 10,- 000,000 marks would be reduced by 1925 to ,000 marks. This would mean that the state had taken near ly 7000,000 marks by various forms of taxation designed to solve the tremendous financial problem which Germany faces. Of the amount so collected by the state Dr. Primer es inmates that 2,827,90 marks would be taken as taxes on war profits while the emergency levy would take 2,737,00o marks. This would leave the millionaire about 5,O00,O0O marks at the end of the 30-year period in which this levy would be collected.
 Dr. Primer points out, however, that the older industrial leaders who own most of the German in- dustries probably would die in the first 10 years of the 30-year period, whereupon that part of the levy then remaining unpaid would be taken by the state.
 If the owner of this fortune were to die, say in 1925, and should leave but one son, the son would have to pay to the state as inheritance tax 1,289,OOO marks. The balance after all taxation had been completed is placed by Dr. Primer at 3I14,000 marks which the family of the in dustrial leader would have left to continue their business.
 The Tageblatt's commentator points out that this would be ,insuf- ficient to continue an industry which in peace times had required T capital of 100000. and that this operation would weaken the produc tive power of industrial concerns by over-severe liquidation of their wealth. "The high capital taxes will saw off the limb upon which income and industrial taxes should s.;@ no1,loc nr pippor

The savings bank book and the card of war savings stamps alike have found lod"ment in the swindler's net.
 "The lure of speculation has. of course, produced q corresponding volume of attendant crime, corrup- ton and dishonesty.

Reviews Efforts of Seamen's Union
 for Legislation

San Francisco, Jan. 13.-In his annual report as president of the International Seamens Union of America, Andrew Furbush today at the twenty-third annual convention of the union reviewed the efforts of seamen to improve their lot and di- rected particular attention to the "Scamen's Act" as the Wilson-La- Toilette measure enacted by con- gress is called.
 He told of the organization thirty five years ago of the Coast Seamens Union of the Pacific coast and in the name of thesurvivors of that un- ion welcomed the delegates.
 Twenty-one years of effort to change the laws affecting seamen he said had eliminated in the pass age of the Seamen's act which he declared had been opposed by ship owners and nations and which he asserted had been wrongly con- strued in some instances by de- partmental heads and various ex- ecutives.
 He insisted that the section of the act providing for "equal watches" on ship board had been construed to mean equal division of time and not number of men on duty at various hours, and that the "equal time" construction worked great hardship not only on sail ors but on firemen as we'll.
 President Furuseth advocated the withdrawal of commerce to the De- partment of Labor and said that this view was shared by the mas ters, pilots and engineers organiza- tions.
 He reported that he had written to President Wilson calling attention to the opposition of foreign powers to the Seamen's act and voicing feai that in peace negotiations the i'm portance of the act to America and to all seamen might be overlooked
 Among his recommendations to the convention was the protest ho made against possible introduction of the French "inscript maritime which in effect places the seamen q "man-o-war man" registered in and belonging to the navy in war and in peace.
 Accommodation that schools Of seamanship be established to in crease the efficiency of the seamen was also included in the report.
