‘ILL-FEELING IN
ENGLAND OVER
TAX OVERCOME
LONDON, Sept. 8 (by Associated
Press .—At first some surprise was
expressed among British insurance
and shipping companies transacting
business in the United States, when it
was learned that United States treas
urp officials were coming to this
country to investigate their books in
connection with taxation, says a
Times article. However, any unfav
orable feeling that may have been
aroused at first has been overcome
by the personality of the officials
whB were commissioned for the pur
pose and by an appreciation of the
attitude of the United States treasury
officials toward taxation assessments.
^British business men have learned
that the work of chartered account
ants has hardly the same standing in
the United States as it his in this
country. Here the certificate of a
first class firm of chartered ac
countants attached to a balance
sheet means that the figures of profits
are accepted as stated, without ques
tion. It seems that there is not al
ways the same unquestioned accep
tance of figures so certified in the
United States and that the United
States treasury maintains quite a
large field staff of inspectors whose
business it is to examine the books of
companies.
Appreciation of this fact, coupled
with an assurance that officials of
j# the treasury never disclose to other
government departments the results
of the insight they may gain into
conduct of companies’ affairs has
done much to reconcile British busi
ness men to a procedure which
them at first sight as being strange.
WILL ABOLISH
GAMBLING ON
FRENCH RACES
*»
PARIS, Sept. 9 (by Associated
* Press).—Clandestine betting would be
suppressed in France under bills just
introduced in the chamber of deputies
I by Baron Maurice de Rothschild and
Leo Bouyssou.
Secret betting in France is esti
mated by Baron Rothschild to amount
to 10,000,000 francs daily.
Under the Roschild bill establish
ments where the illegal betting oc
curred would be closed for certain
periods.
Deputy Bouyssou proposes that il
legal betting be suppressed by the
creation of a state organization of
control, and the imposition of a tax
at race tracks and other places. A
tax of six per cent on the estimated
10,000,000 fi’ancs illegally bet daily or
for the 330 racing days, an annual rev
enue from this source of 200,000,000
francs.
To this would be added 40,000,000
or 50,000,000 francs from a tax on book
# betting which would be re-established
and allowed in a special enclosure un
der the Bouyssou measure. This bill
also proposes the creation of free bet
ting offices in Paris and all cities of
more than 10,000 inhabitants.
AGREEMANT AT
SPA TO BRING
PEAT INTO USE
BERLIN, Sept. 9 (by Associated
Press).—Peat will probably come into
more extensive use as domestic and
industrial fuel in Germany as a con
sequence of the Spa agreement. The
municipality of Berlin has started a
turf digging plant on its property at
Blankenfelde, where 20 tons of peat
are already produced daily. Mixed
with coal, the peat is used to help
feed the boilers at municipal power
stations.
In Saxony too, the threatened coal
famine in the coming winter is caus
ing concern. Finance minister Rein
hold has drawn up an extensive tree
felling program in the state forests,
and potatoes are to be grown on the
clearings.
Best coffee in town served at the
City Bakery.
