RICH BEAR THE BURDEN V OF TAXES IN ENGLAND ?? 1 New Budget of Lloyd Oeorge Makes Heavy Inroads on Incomes. LONDON, May 21.?Under the new scheme of taxation introduced by David Lloyd George, chancellor of the ex- pi chequer, in his budget for 1914-15 a man having an income from a capital of $5,000,000 dollars will have to pay one-third of his income in taxes. In the first place, he has to pay 28 cents on every $5 in income tax; then he J)j. has to pay a similar amount in supertax, and when he dies $1 on every five S of what is left has to be paid for death and estate duties. The total is figured at just under one-third of the income. This calculation has been made by Sir William Lever, one of the millionaires Stal who will have to pay, but who does not F object. ex< "I like it." he said. "In my view the ito ideal system of taxation, both local and of imperial, is through the income tax, the supertax, death duties, land tax, site . value tax and taxation upon luxuries. 81 such as alcohol, tobacco, etc. Everything wh else free." ten Used American Ideas. ma While Mr. Lloyd George has followed teT1 his predecessors in his system of taxa- Ro tion, except that he has increased the rate 1 of income and supertax and death duties, so that the wealthy have to pay the lion's cox share, he has gone to other countries for cit some of his ideas. His taxation of site ly. values is based on the law now In vogue are ln British Columbia, while he has gone his to the American income tax law for the mo idea of making money accruing to British mc subjects from investments abroad pay its Ro share of taxation. th In recent years British capitalists have . made immense investments in foreign . countries. When the income from these 11 investments was brought home to be p< spent the go\Ternment. under the old law, sta levied income tax on It?that is, when of the government could discover it. But !><> when the income was reinvested abroad cit the old law did not touch it. Now Lloyd the George says all income of British sub- ac< jects resident in the United Kingdom ha: must contribute to the imperial revenue, enl These foreign investments are estimated yet at over a billion and a half dollars, and a frqm this the chancellor hopes to secure tor $1,250,000 this year and double that {j amount next year. The total increase of jta revenue from income tax and death dii- lJp( ties this year will amount to something like $44,000,000. Able the Bear Burden. JJj'J In spite of these increases Sir George wh Falsh, editor of the Statist, says the bur- ^ den of taxation is much smaller than it has been in modern history. In 1880, poc when the expenditure came to $415,000,- &ln 000, it was raised out or a national in- ser i come of $5,000,000,000. Now the national income reaches the enormous total of gat $12,000,000,000; so it can easily stand the increased expenditure. Sir George argues that England can bear still great- R er increases in her budget. "There are good grounds." he says, "for Pra believing that the income and wealth of an< this country will again double in an- pe( other thirty years. When it reaches _tll $25,000,000,000?and 1 have no doubt that it will within a generation?a budget of of $2,500,000,0<K) will be borne more easily a than the burden of a billion dollars in ma 1914." |, 9 Ita COTTON IS BETTEB PACKED. the American Growers Profiting by Ad- ^ vice of English Spinners. fgn< LONDON, May 21.-The advice which rat the cotton spinners of England have ^n. been giving American cotton planters to improve their methods of packing is be- no, ginning to bear fruit.

In set tlement of this point It was Anally agree ?- that an alien must have, as a considers tion of naturalization, "an adequat knowledge of the English language." The Canadian and Australian parlia r ments have passed the bill with thi clause, and the measure had also passe< the house of lords and was awaiting: con a sideration in the house of commons, whei e the Jewish organizations in Londoi e brought up a protest that the clause mak _ ing "an adequate knowledge of the Etag e lish language" necessary would operat e to the prejudice of large bodies of de sirable Jews.
