Report Following Compre-
hensive Study

Winnipeg. Man.. June 6.-R)-The
Manitoba Free Press declares crop
conditions il western Canada are
more serious than in % years at this
season in q report published Satur-
day.
The report, formulated after a
comprehensive survey of the Prairie
Provinces, says drought conditions
prevail in practically all areas
The Free Press picture of crop con-
ditions is less than "a hours old, re-
ports having been wired from 347
correspondents in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta yesterday. Con.
ditions have not improved during the
last month, according to the report,
and the crop rs not making progress"
Pastures are said to be In need OF
moisture as much as grain lands and
fears are expressed of a shortage OF
feed for next winter.
Despite the critical state Of the
crop, "one good soaking rain within
q week would materially alter the sit
uation and while q number of fields
are beyond redemption but the bulk
Of the seeded areas would produce
crops and there would still be time
to seed fodder crops" the report as
serts.

Deny Men Created Equal and Predict
Government by Few in Near Future

This condition Of inequality,
he said, is a fact which must be
faced, regardless of whether 1t
arises from heredity or environ

by Economizing to Balance
Budget Deficits

Berlin, June 6.-P)-The time has
come for Germany to tell the world
that liberation from "~unbearable re-
parations burdens" is imperative, the
government declared Saturday in an
appeal published simultaneously with
a series Of new emergency tax DEGREES
calculated to yield nearly $400, 900 900
in new revenues.
we must call our last reserves and
tell the world that we have reached
the limit of our capacity to bear
privations," the appeal declared.
The dreaded ak of government econ
economy fell for the fourth time In
Germany in IL months Saturday with
the publication Of Chancellor Helm
rich Bruening's emergency DEGREES,
signed Friday by President Paul Won
H~indenburg.
To Raise 1896, 900. 900
They provide for the raising in the
aggregate of about 1850, 000, 900 marks
(about 1896, 000, 000) to balance deficits
in the budget by making further
slaSheS In government expenditure
and in civil service salaries and by
the imposition of supplementary in
come tax and new taxes on sugar
petrol and cigarettes.
Roughly one-half Of the necessary
amount Is obtained from salary cuts
and by reductions In the amounts al
iotted for public relief and other fl
nancial adjustments. The other halt
is produced by supplementary taxes
both on earned and unearned incomes
with the provision that persons whose
incomes from both sources do not
exceed $4,000 marks (about $500
annually pay only n tax.
Only totally disabled war veterans
are exempted from additional tax>
alton under the DEGREES.
Will Hit Everybody
The supplementary income taxes
or so-called "crisis tax" will hit prac-
tically everybody living In GERMANY.
On earned incomes 1t ranges from
n per cent on salaries Of up to
$3.50 marks (about 1864 to five per
cent on salaries of $4,000 marks
(about $8,640). They become effec-
tive July l and extend until the end
of 1882, but some ~aleviation in the
course Of next year is regarded as a
| possibility.
In the preamble to the DEGREES it
is declared that the government will
seek authority from the reichstag to
introduce a 40-hour working week
and to make overtime dependent on
a special permit from local author
tiles. The measures are believed to
foreshadow the introduction of vol
untary labor service from the ranks
Of the jobless but willing workers.
A variety of measures are proposed
for relieving agricultural distress.
The government further announces
legislation aimed at freeing trade
and industry from too rigid letters"
imposed by trusts and corporations
in matters of production o. price
agreements.

Couzens Again Brings Up
Tax on Jim Hills Estate
Michigan Senator Says He
Hasn't Received ExpIana-
ton From Mitchell

Washington, June 6.-F-Senator
Couzens, Republican. Michigan, said
Saturday he expected Attorney Gen
eral Mitchell to answer his questions
about the million dollar estate tax
levied on the property of the late
James j. Hill, Minnesota, but there
was no indication from the attorney
general he was ready to reply.
Il certainly want to know why the
department Of justice refused to ap-
peal this case to the supreme court"
said Senator Couzens. II have wait
ed two months for a reply from MI.
Mitchell. I expect that reply"
While he declined to discuss the
future, there was an intimation from
the Michigan senator he would not
hesitate to put the case before con-
gress when 1t r%econvenes.
Senator Couzens wrote to the attor-
ney general last March about the
Hill case. Mr.. Mitchell was the at
torney for the estate Of Mrs. Hill
before he entered the government
service. The circuit court Of appeals
upheld the contention that the pro-
perty given by Mrs. Hill to her chill
dren prior to her death was not given
in anticipation of death and there
fore was not taxable.
Senator Couzens said the treasury
department and Mrs. Mabel Walker
Willebrandt. then assistant attorney
general, asked that an appeal be
made to the supreme court. Attor-
ney General Sargent ruled no appeal
would be made. Senator Couzens
pointed out that Mr.. Mitchell was
then the solicitor general.
There may have been a very good
reason for it," Couzens said Satur-
day, but I don't know what 1t Is.
