9Th MINISTRY
T0BE WRECKED
IN TWO YEARS
Aristide BRAND Presents Cab
inet's Resignation, Which
Is Accepted
VOTE WAS 27i TO 22l
BRAND. Who Has Been Pre-
mier 3 Times. Encountered
Stormy Sailing

Paris, March -AO-The cabinet
OF Aristide BRAND has fallen. Like
five other ministries in less than
two years il was wrecked on the
shoals Of the governments plan to
bring about the financial rchahilita-
tion Of France
In the chamber Of deputies early
this morning, tho government made
the sales tax provision Of its finan-
cial bill question Of confidence. II
was defeated, 274 to 22l, and imme-
diately afterwards NJ. BRAND tender
ed the cabinets resignation.
The sales tax has met bitter OPP
position from business. In Paris
shop keepers closed several hours in
protest. even the bars doing no bus
mess.
The first trouble during the night
session of the chamber arose over
the article raising the price of COM
mon tobacco from a frame and one
half to two and a quarter francs per
packet. This the chamber would not
vote. 1t even rejected an amendment
raising it to two francs.
Compromise Reached
As the refusal to raise the price
eliminated 60O.OO0.OO0 francs from
the resources the government had
counted on. the sitting was suspend
ed to enable the finance committee
to deliberate. The committee decid.
ed on compromise. fixing the price
at francs, 10 centimes. The house
voted the amendment 249 to 159.
The tobacco matter was made n
question Of confidence in the gov
ernment. Then the tax on pay
nlents,' or sales tax, was brought up.
Shortly after the unfavorable vote.
M. BRAND went to the Elysee Palace
and presented the cabinets rcsigna-
tion, which President Doumcrgue ac-
cepted.
Mnny Rebuffs
NJ BRAND had been in office since
November 27 last. In two weeks his
cabinet met with It's first serious re-
buff, when the chambers finance
committee rejected Finance Minister
Loucheur's financial plan. NJ. Louch-
cir resigned and NJ Doumer took the
finance portfolio.
When Doumer's financial bill was
placed before the chamber it called
for four billion francs. 1t was amend
ed here and there and finally in the
early hours of the morning of Feb
y
ly l.600,000.0 900 francs. The measure
was then sen. to the senate, which
passed it last Sunday morning, re-
storing taxes rejected by the cham
ber. including sales and export taxes.
II also adopted measures designed TO
balance the budget and restore cred
it at home and abroad.
A Coalition Ministry
NJ BRAND has held the premier
ship of France eight times. During
his last incumbency he has had to
steer the ship OF state through
stormy waters several times on mat
ters related to the financial and Syr-
ian situations.
NJ. Brands cabinet was more or
less IA coalition ministry. In gener-
al plans the radical left cartel work
ed fairly well with him. but it would
have nothing to do with his financial
projects.

All Entertainment Features
Of the Past Two Days
Will BE Repeated

Yesterday second Of Bismarck S
three-day automobile show was con
sdcred even more successful. both
by the dealers sponsoring the show
and the visitors. than the first day.
A peculiar circumstance in connection
with the exposition is that yestcr-
days paid admissions totalcd just
three more than those for the first
day On Thursday there were | ,0S9
paid admissions to the show, and yes
terday the total was 1892.
The entertainment program. both
afternoon and evening. yesterday. was
varied considerably from that Of the
previous day and was well received
and loudly applauded by the large
audience. Dance reviews by Bernicc
Joslin and Betty Lofthousc, and a
group Of songs by pupils of the Will
school were features Of the afternoon
program, while in the @vening, a
great variety Of talent was presented.
Record Crowd Expected Tonight
Despite the fact that weather de-
cidedly unfavorablc to the show is
being experienced here today, those
in charge of the affair are confident
that this will be the biggest day of
the exposition and predict that the
lttUcTudClc Will DC iahCsi w iiH utsuOSl
capacity this evening to hold the
crowds The climax Of the whole
show will come tonight. when a
triple entertainment bill will be pre-
sentcd All numbers that have ap-
pcared during the past two days will
be offered again this evening. in ad-
dition to several entirely new fea-
lures which have been planned.
The fddlers' contest is attracting
a great deal Of attention, both at the
show and over the radio. and there
is much speculation as to which con-
tcstant will be awarded the first
prize. The awards will be made as
the result Of returns received from
radio listeners. The names of the
performers are not announced over
the radio, each fiddler being an
nounced only by number. so that
the listening audience can make it's
choice by number only.
Several more Of the fiddlers taking
part in the contest will appear on the
stage at the auto show tonight
Dealers Are Pleased
1.-THE Bismarck automobile dealers
are certainly delighted" said S. w.
Corwin, general chairman Of the au-
temobile show committee. when in
terviewed by a Tribune reporter to-
day. "The first annual automobile
show was an experiment. We be-
lieved that the public would support
show and results have surely borne
us out Dealers and customers have
come in for two hundred miles in
every direction. Hotels in Bismarck
and Mandan were filled each night
and private homes had to take care
of the overflow. We appreciate the

Washington, March 6.--The average
citizen is in purely theoretical field
when he gets to discussing the sur.
tax features of the new income tax
law.
The surtax applies only to net in
comes of more than $4,000. 1t puts
the payer into moneyed aristocracy.
The man who pays it in many cases
employs a lawyer or other profession
al specialist to figure out the amount
for him. But the magnetic effect of
money upon human attention and the
fervid debate upon the subject in both
House and Senate make the surtax a
matter of pertinent general interest.
income is rather . complicated pro-
cess.
Maximum Rate Cut
The old law with its maximum rate
Of 40 per cenDfc- incomes more than
100000 was cur 10 a maximum of 20
per cent surtax on all incomes mere
than 100000. Only 213 persons in
the United States paid last year at
the maximum rate.
While the new law cuts the tax
of the married man with $4,000 in
come from $22.50 to $5.63. it likewise
cuts the tax on $l,000,OO0 from $429,
SIS to $241. .058. The little man saves
$l6.87; the big man. $188.5l6.
On the other hand, the small tax
payer receives a cut to about one
fourth Of his former tax; the big tax
payer finds. his reduction less than
onc-half. Under the wartime tax law
Of 1913 the million dollar income had
to pay $7O3,O3o.
The surtax is imposed in addition
TO the normal tax which the citizen
must pay in. common with his less
prosperous ncighbor. For incomes
from $4,000 to $4,000. the surtax is
per cent for all above $4,000. Foi
net incomes Of exactly $4,000, the
surtax payment is $40.
Upon incomes from $4,000 to $l6,-
600 the rate is an additional 2 PEI
cent on that above $4,000. And SO
it stairstepx up to the maximum OF
$ll $50 surtaX for net incomes OF
100000, with 20 pei cent additional
for ell above that amount.
The Senate materially reduced the
figures as passed by the House fol
incomes between $4,000 and $G4 900

Mandan Wins
Mandan won from Bismarck Is

of a second of play, the most spccta-
cular game in the history of athletic
rivalry between the two schools. Man

half six to nothing.
The Demons came back strong in
the second half, tied the score and
took a lead Of seven points, the score
being IA to Z in the third quarter.
Mandan crawlcd up to II to l6
loss when, as the timer raised his
gun to end the game, Amick took a
heartbreaking, desperate 54-foot
fling at the hoop. 1t was a perfect
throw. The ball dropped through
the net as tho pistol was fired and
shot Bismarck's hopes Of entering
the finals. Mai,dan will meet Tur-
