Anu.Malaria Campaign

The time is at hand when Nat.
chitoches must take certain steps
that will mean much, if not every
thing, for the welfare of the com
munity as far as its public health
is concerned. and that step is to
inaugurate, 1t once, an active
Anti Malaria campaign and prose-
cute it to the end.
Last summer and fall, there
we're a great many cases of mala
ria, mosquitoes galore, that innoc-
ulated all who were not protected,
and the ounce of protection taken
now to prevent q return of these
insect pests, may possibly avert
greater danger than the trouble
they caused last season.
If we stop to think it over it
may be too late to make Natcnito-
ches mosquito proof, so we must
get busy like nther wide-awake
communities, to obtain the sams
wonderful results.
February is at hand and even
January weather has been warm
enough to let this festive insect
propagate enough young to do
mischief later.
The government will send an
expert who win blazon the way
and show how to follow up the
work, so an appeal is made to the
Chamber Of Commerce, Board of
Health and City Commissioners
to get together ct once and take
the necessary steps to make war
upon the mosquito.

HUNGARY Is FIRST
NATION TO BE HIT
BY ECONOMY WAVE
Takes Drastic Step to Restore
Financial Standing
Among Countries.

PAR :. May 24.-Hungary is the
first big country emerging from the
war to tackle the financial problem
courageously, even though the wis,
dom of the step she is about to take
may be questioned.
France is IMPOSING some more
taxes and waiting for Germany TO
pay war reparations; Germany and
England are imposing more taxes
and waiting for a revival OF their
pre-war trade; Austria admits
banruptcy and is turning her af-
fairs over TO the allies and the
smaller Balkan countries are crying
for help.
But the Hungarian government
has decided TO lay a direct tax on
capital, a measure proposed by
French socialists as best fitted 20
bring France financial relief, but
speedily turned down. The bill has
been drafted and is about TO be in
troduced in the Hungarian parlia-
ment in the hope that il will bring
Hungary quickly 10 her feet.
The measure proposed by Hun
gary ia the most radical ever pre-
sented by any modern government
1t provides first for a tax. ranging
from TO 20 per cen on savings
bank deposits and securities. Hun
garian banks will thus be forced to
turn over 10 the government a sum
estimated at about half a billion
dollars.
The most unique feature OF the
bill is the distinction, for purposes
OF taxation, between men who ac-
tuauy served at the front during
the war and those who occupied
"dug-out" positions in the rear. The
latter will be heavily taxed accord
ing 20 their wealth and some OF
them will be forced 20 turn over so
per cent OF their incomes. But a
millionaire who himself served in
the rear but lost son in the war
will be taxed in the same way as n
soldier who served at the front.
The bill hits possible war prof.
teers. Every manufacturer who. by
urging the Importance az his bust
ness, succeeded in obtaining draft
exemption for his men, will be
forced 10 pay a tax OF 1000 crowns
for each man thus kept from the
front. This sum. together with that
raised by taxation Of non-com-
batants. will be used in paying pen
sions TO wounded soldiers.
a tax de luxe that will make sim
liar measure in other countries look
extremely feeble is another feature
OF the bill. Extravagances in
women's clothing will be hit hard
and there are other clauses designed
10 drag money from the man who
drinks or smokes.
In introducing the bill the chan
cellor OF the exchequer will an
nounce that hereafter Hungary will
issue no more paper money and
that the government intends 20
practice every economy 10 restore
its financial condition 10 normal.
The first result OF the enforce
ment OF the proposed law, the gov
eminent believes. will be a marked
fall in the cost OF living. Since the
war the price OF potatoes has in
creased by 81 times; pork III times
and beef SIS times. Even members
of once wealthy families have been
unable 20 buy any new clothes since
the war
