HEAVY TAX 1
VIENNA, Sept. 24 (by Associated
Press).—In its efforts to find a solu
tion of its financial difficulties the
municipality of Vienna is resorting to
taxations not approached in any coun
try during the war. As a first step it
has raised the deposit of gas consum
ers from between 100 and 300 crowns
to 8,000 crowns per meter. No interest
is paid on this deposit.
The new schedule of taxes contem
plates a heavy levy on practical every
daily activity. There wall be a tax of
2 per cent on all salaries of employes
to be paid by the employers. Hotel
rooms are taxed 20 per cent, and a
graded tax is levied on apartments
to be baid by the occupant. On
apartments renting for 3,000 crowns
a month the tax will be three times
the rent. If more than one domestic
servant is employed the employer
must pay a high tax on each addi
tional servant.
Ten per cent on the customer’s
bill in a restaurant, an occupational
tax for certain forms of semi-profes
sions and many kinds of new business
licenses are to be imposed.
WOP LION
IN THE MONEY
SANTA BARBARA, Cal., Sept. 24
(by Associated Press).—Competition
from Italy and increased freight rates
have caused an acute crisis which is
facing California’s lemon industry, ac
cording to James Bires, manager of a
local fruit company.
On account of the high exchange
value of United States money in Ital
ian lire, and the present low tariff of
one half a cent per pound makes it
possible for Italians and Sicilians to
sell their lemons in American mar
kets below the cost of producing the
California lemons.
It is stated that the Italian grower
who are selling a box of lemons for
$2 in New York has more than $6
when he has exchanged his money in
to Italian money. Growlers here assert
that a box of California lemons cost
approximately $3 to produce, and upon
adding the present freight rate of
$1.45 per box to New Yoik, the cost of
their product in that city is about
$4.45 per box.
HIGHER TAXATION ONLY
HOPE FOR GRRMANS
COLOGNE, Sept. 24 (by Associated
Press).—Higher taxation or state
bankruptcy are the only alternative
possibilities for Germany, Dr. Koch,
German minister of home affairs, has
just told leading public men in a con
ference on the economic and politi
cal situation of Rhenish Prussia.
Dr. Koch declared he could not see
the faintest possibility of any reduc
tion of the tax schedules which had
already been drawn up and approved.
Dr. Koch was overwhelmed with
complaints about the shortage of
dwellings and the paralyzing effect of
the present export and import regu
lations.
Discussing the unity of empire, the
minister announced that a special com
mission comprising members of the
federal council, had been organized to
study the problems affecting the new
alignment of the federal German
states.
Dr. H. A. Blyth has opened a dental

MIOWERA, New South Wales,
Sept. 24 (by Associated Press).—The
Prince of Wales had the time of his
life here among the hard-riding,
straight-shooting outspoken ranchers
and, by his adaptability and good fel
lowship, made himself extremely pop
ular. He won their respect when he
entered five races against these pre
mier horsemen and won all the
events.
The ranchers are having a quiet
smile over an amusing but somewhat
embarrassing incident in which the
prince was involved. With his usual
“hail-fellow-well-met” bearing, the
prince on one occassion asked every
one in the house to have a drink with
him.
After the drinks had been served
the heir to the richest throne in the
world discovered he had no money. He
called on Admiral Halsey, who is tour
ing with him for funds hut the only
reply was: “I haven’t a shilling on me
sir,”
Finally another member of the roy
al party came to the rescue and the
drinks were handed around.
BALLOON RACE
SCHEDULED TO
TART
NEW YORK, Sept. 23 (by Associat
ed Press).—The national balloon race
scheduled to start from Birmingham,
Ala., this month and the international
contest for balloonists to start from
the same city in October are expected
by Aero Club officials in charge cf
the races to set new records. This
hope is based upon the greater gas
capacity of the balloons and lessons
of construction learned in the war.
The national event, due to start on
September 25 will see 15 contenders
lined up, each aspiring to be one of
three who will defend the Gordon
Bennett Cup which has been in. Amer
ica since being lifted from France in
1913 by Ralph Upson, of Akron, O.
Upson, present international title
holder, made his entry as soon as the
race was announced. Three bags
have been entered by the army air
service, one by the navy and another
by the army balloon school, Fort Oma
ha. The other 10 balloons have been
entered by civilians. The entry of the
baloon school will be piloted by A.
Leo Stevens, who, with Prof. David
Todd, of Amherst college, won
fame last spring by an attempt to
pick up radio-electric waves from
Mars through a receiving station 30,
000 feet above the earth.
The second race, which is to start
Octoboer 23, will be the fourth occa
sion on which the United States has
defended the Gordon Bennett inter
national trophy since its foundation
in 1906. The entries, six in all, are:
Italy, two; United States, three and
Belgium one.
Although America is the title hold
er by virtue of winning the last race
France has an unbeaten record for
distance, made in 1912 when Maurice
Bienaime covered 1,361 miles without
touching land, besting the American
record of 1,172 miles set in 1910 by
Alan R. Hawley.
The baloon “Belgica,” of 2,000 cubic
meters capacity has been entered by
the Aero Club of Belgium. It will
be piloted by Ernest Demuyter, who
contested in the race of 1912.
