money Is spent for the "extraordinary"
expenditures of the various Govern
nent agencies as for the regular con-
duct OF them. For instance, in addi-
tion TO the 10 per cent. set aside in
the budget for the support Of the army
nd navy there should be added 49,
l25,000 yen for the War Department
md 900 yen for the navy in
he nature Of extraordinary expendi-
lures.
Other budget provisions. from which
the people of Japan derive little, II
any. direct benefits are the sums set
aside for the civil administration Of
Shantung. Corea, For1nosa, Saghalien
and the Government railways, the to-
tai being 171,924,000 yen. One Of the
reasons that provoked such unanimity
OF popular approval OF the conference
project was the oppressive effect Of
the monopolies maintained by the Gov
ernment. For instance, the Govern
ment has monopoly over steel, to-
bacco, camphor. salt, railways. utili-
ties, telegraphs. in addition to local
imports Oh some of them. Tobacco is
taxed at tho rate OF so per cent. and
is practically beyond thesreach OF the
average citizen, who likes his weed as
well as the next one.
A far more important reason, how
ever. for the endorsement of the con-
ference is to be found in the taxation
system. This system, which appears
to be hodge -podge OF that prevail
ing IN other countries, places a heavy
tax upon sake, the national drink;
on salt. beer. sugar. land, incomes. big
and small businesses; In fact. there is
scarcely a thing that enters into the
daily life OF the people that is not
taxed to greater extent than in any
other country.
But even the amounts realized from
these imposts are not adequate to pay
for the army and navy and other
branches OF the Government admins

was Jump Of 145,000,000 yen in the

but non-aicoholic beverages are free
The tax on dwelling land is 2.5 per
1000 and on cultivated land 4.5.
Income Tax system.
The income tax Is rated pretty much
like that in other countries. incomes
yielding from 10 to 90 per cent. profit
are taxed per cent, with per cent.
on 30 and and 20 per cent above 80.
On reserve incomes there Is per

on the capital. Dividends are taxed
per cent. Individual incomes are
taxed I per cent. up to 1000 and run
as high as 33 per cent. above 5000, 900.
The straight business tax is a COM
plicated proposition. There are levies
on sales, rents and manufactures. In
toxicating beverages are assessed
from 20 TO ii per cent. on forty gall
Ions. The Government has recently
made a half-hearted effort to readjust
the tax system, but little progress has
been made UP to date.

Cropping for Escape.
The overwhelming sentiment in
favor Of the Harding conference plan
which swept Japan probably con-
vinced the Government of the futility
OF directly attacking that project. But
1t took its own time in giving its
qualified assent. The reason that 1t
fnaily consented to do SO was not due
In the slightest degree to any sincere
desire to assist in the enterprise but
solely because the people, cropping for
an avenue Of escape from the disasters
consequent on taxation, demanded in
no uncertain tones its concurrence.
Competent observers Of long expert
ence tell me that no proposal ever
made by a foreign country was SO
universally approved as the sugges-
ton for the conference on armaments.
The majority of the people would
probably support the contention OF
their Government that the Washing
ton conference should not seek to de-
prive Japan Of the territory both lc-
galiy and illegally acquired and so
necessary to their economic and physi-
cal expansion, but the popular mind
of Japan discerns no direct connection
between the scheme for bringing about
a disarmament agreement and the in
definite proposals to restore to the
original owners the territory won by
Japan in war or otherwise.
Endorsement Of the conference prof.
ect held but one meaning to the Jap
anese-an escape from tho catastro-
phes incidental to the maintenance Of
an expensive military establishment,
to support which they have long be-
lieved they have been taxed out Of all
proportion to the value of 1t. The
explanation of their resentment
against the conditions forced upon
them by the ambitious military plans
of their Government is pretty clearly
set forth In the financial statement Of
tho Government for the current year
the monopolies maintained or permit
ted by 1t, the system Of taxation and.
finally. the high cost Of living.

duce the tax system. According 10 an
INVESTIGATION conducted by the Toxic
municipality the average rates of var
rious taxes In the six leading cities OF
the empire total up Is yen per indiytd-
ual for national purposes. 1857 yen
for prefectural and 1925 yen for mu-
nicipal IN the city OF Toxic, with the
ratio at Osaka and Kobe a trifle
higher.
This means that every individual in

which goes to building battleships and
to maintain the Japanese army.
