Taxation in Germany VIII
BE ENual to COnfiScatiO

. Berlin. Dec. 25.-The lot of the
multi-millionaire in Germany Will be
q hard one under the new emergency
jexy and income and inheritance
eaass. DR. Felix Pinner, financial
wEfter Of the Berlin Tageblatt esti-
mates that under these taxes Ger
man industrial fortune Of 10000, 600
marks would be reduced by 1925 to
3,1l4,909 marks. This would mean
that the State had taken nearly 7,000,-
H6D marks by various forms Of tax
alton designed to solve the trenaen-
deus financial problem which Ger
many faces. OF the amount so col
1ected by the State DR.. Pinner esti-
mates that 2,S27,90O marks would be
taken as taxes on war profits while
tho emergency levy would take g
$4,000 marks. This would leave the
millionaire about 100000 marks at
the end Of the 30-year period in which
this levy would be collected.
Dr. Pinner points out, however.
that the older industrial leaders who
own most Of the German industries
probably would die in the first 10
years of the 30-year period, where
upon that part Of the levy then re-
manning unpaid would be taken by
tho State.
= If the owner Of this fortune We're
to die, say in 1925 and should leave
but one son. the son would have to
r,a to the State as inheritance tax.
f.239,0OO marks. The balance after
all taxation had been completed is
placed by Dr. Pinner at 3,114,00o
marks which the family Of the indus
trial leader would have left to con-
time their business.
The Tageblatt's commentator points
out that this would be insufficient to
continue an industry which in peace
tirees had required a capital Of T.
90e.oe, and that this operation would
weaken the productive power OF IN
dnstrial concerns by over-severe IL
qpidatfon Of their wealth. "The
high capital taxes will saw off the limb
upon which income and industrial
taxfs should Sit" concludes DR.. Pin
ner.

Democrats VIII Fight Shy of
Group interests and Not Ca
ter to Communists
STATEMENT MADE BY
CHAIRMAN CUMMINGS
Believes Radical Objections to
Treaty is More Noise Than
Anything Else

New York, Jan. 17.-The Democrat
se party will conduct its presidential
campaign without regard to group in
terests, Homer S. Cummings, chair
man of the Democratic national COM
mIttee, declared today. MIR. Cum
mings who was here to attend a meet
ing Of the committee on arrangements
fer the San Francisco convention,
made this statement when asked
whether the party intended to under
lake any propaganda to overcome the
reported detection Of certain Irish
and other elements opposed TO rad-
sfcafion of the peace treaty in its pres
emf form.
We are going to consider the treaty
end other issues as Americans" as
serted Mr.. Eummings. Il am unalter-
ably opposed to considering this
question IN any other way. Person
ally, believe the radical objections
/ to- the peace treaty are more noise
fhaa anything else. Those who are
shouting the loudest have not been
Gsropg for us, anyway
Mr.. Cummings called attention to
the fact that the. national committee
had endorsed the peace treaty as sub
Matted by the president and was
standing pat on that issue. Those who
believed that the treaty was lnlmlcai
to the political aspirations Of the
irish people were in wrong, he said.
The treaty and the league of nations,
he declared, would be real benefit
TO all the small nations Of the world
Chairman Cummings announced
that so many misstatements had been
made concerning the Democratic cam
paign for funds that he would issue
,fermal statement within a few
days replying to them.
4stI feel that the chairnen of the
respective committees Should not en-
4af. nfoea personal controversy. he
said. s.bilt the criticism against US
haasSeeoinne almost libelous and I feel
Compelled to issue q. formal reply
aiil make our, position clear"
sssEhe only business transacted by the
coRfmitfee. on arrangements was the
anpasntment of six subcommittees to
handle various phases of the {conven-
4san plans. No other meeting Of the
full committee is expected until about
Lanesl; Z; when both the national COM
naittee and the arrangements commit
tee will assemble in San Francisco
10 make the final convention plans.
The temporary chairman probably Will
be named at that time.
Women were represented on the
committee of arrangements today for
the first time in the party's history,
aecording to party leaders. in the per-
sons OF Mr.. George Bass. of Chicago,
sca1airuan of the won1en's bureau Of
the national committee, and Miss Mary
T. Foy, of Los Angeles.
The committee agreed to provide
hotel rooms free of charge to mem
hers of the national committee and
associate members while at the con-
xentien, but they will be required to
pay: for their meals and railroad
transportation as in the past. 1t is
expected that round trip excursion

How Diphtheria is Contracted.

One often hears the expression
MY child caught a severe cold
which developed into diphthefia,'
when the truth was that the cold
had simply left the little one par
GCularly susceptible TO the wander
ing diphtleria gem. If your child
has a cold when diphthcria is pre-
valent you should take him out of
school and keen him off the street
until fully recovered, as there is a
hundred times more danger of his
taking diphtheria when he has n
cold. When Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given it quickly cures
the cold and .essens the danger of
diptheria or any other germ disease
being contracted. Adv.
