be the heaviest taxed country in the
world, according to an expert writing
in a weekly London economic publica-
ton which, as, rule, is not over
friendly to the French government.
The only fair way to estimate a
peoples tax burden, says this expert,
is to compore the sum collected for
taxes with the total national income.
In 1919, Frances taxes represented IA
per cent Of the national income. II
is now 10 per cent of the revised ma
tional income of 100000, 900. 900
francs, After the new taxes have
been applied the government will be
taking from the people over 20 per cent
Of the national income as against IS
per cent in Great Britain, the next
most heavily taxed country and 10
per cent in the United States.
Local taxation, which corresponds
to about 3 per cent Of the total ma
tional income, raises the total French
tax percentage to more than %.
The forging, the expert concludes.
would seem to destroy once for all
the legend which long has obtained out
side France that France does not tax
its DeOple.

 NIT. Pringle has. a. letter. from Samuel G. Belton. deputy chief in- spector special service division of the police department of New York city. commenting him for his work.
 'The capitalization of destructive appetites, indugences and passions occurs solely for financial profit" said MT. Pringle. Making addicts, drunkards. gamblers. rakes, courte- sans and thieves are never objects of the vice prom oter, but only necessary and unfortunate incidents.
