By the Associnted Press, HONOLULU, T. H., December 16 (By Mall).—The leper settlement on the Island of Molokal contains fewer patients than at any time in the past Qfty years, according to the statement of J. D. McVeigh, superin- tendent of the colony, on a recent visit here. The decrease, he said, was due to tho treatments with the chaulmoogra oil specific evolved by Dr, A.'Ls Dean, president of the Uni- versity of Hawail. All Patients Using Remedy. Practically all of the 485 patients at the colony now are taking the Dean treatment, Mr. McVeigh stated. commenting upon the popular belief that the children of lepers are af- flicted with the disease, who has been superiniendent of the Molokai settlement for many years, said that “both mentally and physi- cally, the children of leprous pare: measure up as well, if not bette: than those of healthy parents. “These children are not only normal, but they also have the advantage of the training that is given in the splendidly conducted homes for the children of lepers throughout. the world.” Steps to Preserve Supply. Permission to purchase 600 pounds of- chaulmoogra oil, from which the Dean specific is derived, has been given by Gov. Wallace R. Farrington to Dr. Trotter, president of the territorial board of health, in order that the territory’s supply might not be exhausted. Dr. Trotter, in a letter to the governor, pointed out that Dr. Heiser of the Rockefeller Founda- tion announced recently that the Philippines government would pur- chase three tons of the oil and that this would virtually consume the world supply. The territorial board of agriculture has established a chaulmoogra plan- | tation at Waiahole, this island, where severa] thousand saplings have been planted, in order that the increasing: demand for the oil may be satisfied. SPAIN PROPOSES HEAVIER TAX ON NATION’S WEALTH Officials Consider Luxury Levy on Citizens Who Give Evidence of Large Possessions. By the Associated Prees. MADRID, January, 24.—Minister of Finance Cambo is discussing daily with the leading officlajs of the ministry the financial affairs of Spain and endeavor- ing to find fresa sources of taxation to revenue of the nation as near S expenditures. ‘The l)u-u io Universal, commenting on the necessity of reforms in taxation, suys: crease the percentage of the existing taxes, since the industries and agri- cuiture of Spain are suffering from a period of serious depression. Attempts will be made to compel taxpayers to pay upon income which they hitherto aave escaped paying to a considerable extent. This, however, will not give sufficient results. ‘What i3 necessary is ‘he. imposition of luxury taxes upon citizens who show manifest signs of weautn, such as the possession of several motor cars, country houses, hunting estates and numerous domestic servants. “Such signs of wealth are visibl everywhere in Spain, which has fered less than any important n from the effects of the great wi “Another form af taxation which would be equally well received would b> the imposition of a tax on commer- cial transactions, which would be easily co.ectible, although it must be con- fessed that a similar tax imposed in France did not produce the resuits ex- pected.
