LONDON, February 20. Walter
Thomas Layton, editor Of the Econ
omist, just back from the United
States, said yesterday that both Great
Britain and America would have to
apply to their continental debtors the
principles which had been applied to
Germany in the Dawes plan.
He said that England and America
would have to realize they must base
their claims against their debtors on
the debtors capacity to pay. The ap-
plication of the Dawes report to the
French and Italian debts he said.

not be so great as to influence ex-
changes.

If the Dawes plan produced from
Germany even two-thirds of what
was expected of it. Mr.. Layton said,
the most Great Britain could expect
from France is l per cent interest
on the debt annually and 10 per cent
OF what France gets from Germany.
The corresponding figures from Italy,
he added, would be one-half of 1 per
cent and 10 per cent.
America, he was convinced, would
not see it quite that way. but he
thought the most the United States

BERLIN, February 20.-Draft pro-
posals for a reorganized plan of Ger
man taxation, prepared by the min
istry of finance, have been printed
and will be submitted to the Reich
stag. Under the proposals the new
taxes will fall equally upon Germans
and foreigners. They are expected
to become operative in 1925.
Incomes up to 5000 marks will be
taxed 10 per cent, and the percentage
will rise to 80 per cent on incomes of
$4,000 marks. On still larger in
comes it will not exceed one-third
of the total incomes. Hitherto 1000
marks has been the limit for the 10
per cent tax.
The new corporation tax will re-
uuire companies to pay 20 per cent
on income, plus 10 per cent on prof
Its. Fortunes not exceeding 5000
marks remain free from taxation.
The inheritance clause provides for
taxes of from 8 to so per cent on in
heritances in the case of direct heirs
end from 15 to so per cent on lega-
cies.
The tax on new issues of industrial
obligations is reduced from 8 per
cent to per cent and on foreign
shares from per cent to per cent.
The bourse turnover tax and the tax
on bills of exchange both are cut in
half. The acquisition of landed prop
erty will be taxed 3 per cent instead

Paris.-Preceded by an eleventh hour
victory for the American delegation,
the int national financial conference
closed today with the signing OF the
agreement for distributing among the
various powers of the reparation an
nuities received from Germany under
the Dawes plan. At almost the last
moment the Americans obtained the
elimination from the text of the clause
limiting to $350,O00,000 the amount of
the American war damage claims to be
paid from the Dawes receipts. AS the
revised text stands, the United States
will receive it's PA 20 of the annuities
until its entire claims are paid.
The agreement as signed constitutes
a mass of detail which gathers up the
scattered ends of the back accounts
among the allies, liquidates the Ruhr
occupation, limits the future outlay
for the military occupation of the
Rhineland, fixes the running expenses
of the reparation organizations, includ-
ing the Dawes plan commissions, and

Kenosha Motogist Gave Them

Here is good news for some Keno

had the misfortune to be halted by al
legged speed cops while he was driving
near Northbrook, Illinois, south of
Waukegan.
Word reached Kenosha this morn
ing from Chief of Police E. S. Del
cries of Northbrook that two fake
deputies had been taken into custody
there and were being held in COM
municado pending an investigation in
to their activities. The probe has
thus far revealed that among the VIC
Tins of the false deputies was one
Kenosha motorist, who having no mon
ey for bonds, left with the two men
his watch, watch chain and knife.

Northbrook, it is declared, had been
getting reputation of being a speed
trap for motorists but the city treas

speeders being hailed into court.
These frequent reports of highway
arrests for speeding led to an inyesti-

the two men now held in Northbrook
are believed to be fake deputies who
for several months had been preying
on motorists in that vicinity.
The Kenosha motorist is only one of
several who fell victim to the opera
tions of the couple, it is said. The
Kenoshan had taken his medicine
gamely, making no report of the ar
rest to authorities in Northbrook.
