TAX BEING
LONDON. April 2!». — Income lax
payers who are now sending their
checks to the treasury have had to
pay just thirty per rent more than
last year, ami next year will have an
rttlier forty per een' added to the
bill. This was provided for by the
finance act of 1!H5. Some people the
tax hits pretty bard, but there is lit
i tie grumbling, and the collectors re
i port that the tax has been paid even
\ earlier this year than it • was last.
I when the large tax payers surprised
the treasury by paying long before it
! was due.
I An effort has also been made to In
[ crease the amount received from in
’ come tax bv including smaller wage
'
> earners and providing that all income.
■ wherever derived shall bo subject to
' taxation. Before the war those earn
ing less than £lt>n were exempt: now
the figure lias been lowered to E130,
’ but these smaller wage earners have
been given the privilege of paying
quarterly instead of yearly. Many
Americans resident in England have
been affected by the decision that all
income, whether brought to this coun
try or not. is subject to taxation.
Heretofore, an American resident here
simply paid on his earnings or the
income which he used in this country.
Now he must make a return of his in
come from investments abroad. This
has always applied to Englishmen, but
under the new act all residents are
included. Canadians, like Americans,
who often send their savings home
for investment, are now on an equal
i footing with their British neighbors.
The Americans, of course, also have
to pay the American income tax. This
is what induced a number of them,
who have long been resident in this
country, to take out Britisli natural!
zation papers a year or two ago.

DOES NOT WANT FLEMISH
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, April
29. — The latest development In pro
Flemish schemes of the Germans in
Belgium is a long letter from Baron
■ Von Bissing, the German governor
general, refusing to renounce his plan
of converting the University of Ghent
into a Flemish university, although re
quested to do so by a group of well
known leaders of the Flemish move
ment themselves.
SAYS JAPAN IS ENTERING
UPON NEW ERA
TOKIO, April 29. — President Eik
Ichi Kamada. of Kelo University. do
dares lh:it Japan lias now entered u
new era and that the time lias c-tne
for her to cease worship of the west
and to aspire to Independence in sci
ence. commercial leadership and
greater sea and land power.
I>r. Kamada. In the Japan Magazine,
j says: "Henceforth as a nation tlie*
empire enters on a new career of in
limited hope and ambition. Japan's
goal Is now the most Important and i
! most signific. nl possible to a people.!
"I p to the present Japan lias been
kept in the leading strings of Euro
pean thought and cIvIll/aHon. lying
abject at the feet of German science,
sending her young men abroad to ac t
ipilre occidental knowledge before i
they were thought fit to lead their
countrymen. This state of affairs
must now change. Japan should cease
to worship at western shrines.
"For Japan a period of new inven
tions and discoveries is dawning. Up
to the present we have been all too
Imsy adopting and adapting and imi
tating European civilization, until imi
tation has grown to be a habit with
us; but our world of thought and sci
ence is not now so poor that we have
nothing to admire and emulate at
home."
