Photograph Taxes in Gemany Consume Nearly Fourth of Income Burdens of People Heaviest of Any Na- tion Except Great Britain, Says Car- negie Economics Institute. Germany’s taxes, except for those|and had given the federal govern-!smallest to 30 marks per thousand for of Great Britain, are the heaviest in the world today, accerding to a statement issued by the Institute of Economics in Washington, endowed | by the Carnegie corporation. | “German taxation amounted in 1922 to approximately 23 per cent of the total national income, as som- rared with about 144 per cent in the United States, 18 per cent in| France and 30 per cent in Great Britain,” says H. G. Moulton, director of the institute, which has just con- | cluded an investigation and report | by carefully checked statistioal ' muthods into “Germany's capacity to pay.” “The prevalling impression German taxation is low from the fact that Germa: inoreased her pre-war ta: the first eighteen months the war and, after that, did so only slowly, not roaching an adequate busis until the last year of the war “Germany’s slowness to begin war- taxing arose from the fact that the national government had no legal right to-increase the kinds of taxes she could impose. The states of Ger- many, like our own states, had re- tained the right to levy direct taxes, that ment taxing power only in regard to indirect taxes, such as customs duties. When the federal government ran short the states were supposed to supply it with money, just as our statop were supposed to do under he articles of confederation which gov- erned us before the Constitution was adopted. Tax Increnxex im 1016. “It was only in March, 1016, that the Imperfal German government ask- ed the reichstag to grant it a profits tax and sundry other Increase For the most part the governmen relied on borrowing, expecting, of | course, to recover all outlays in the form of war indemnities. “In the latter part of the war. how- ever, tax after tax was imposed or incréased until fn 1918 the German government derived nearly two mil- lion dollars from recurrent taxes, uch as those in Inheritance, sales, | cases in capital and income, stamp | s, trafic taxes, customs, coal s and contributions, ut even these taxes were comparatively high, especlally Germany's ‘taxable reserve’ at beginning of the war was greater (han that of any other Kuropean coun- try, and as her aggregate national and state property exceeded her total ob- ligations, inciuding her national debt It is not surprising that’ the allies not as the jagain. 1923, had the tmpresston that she could pay —and pay well. “Before she could pay, however, her fiscal system had to be changed. The taxirg power of the federal Bov- ernment was no greater than before the war; the laws had not been changed, they had merely peen suspended. The constitutional ussembly at Weimar, May to December, 1919, however, gave the federal government full control over taxation and levied what was essentially a tax on capi- tal’up to a maximum of 65 per cent The next year all property, con- sumption, sales, and traffic taxes were Increased. A { “The corporation tax takes 20 per cent of taxable income, 25 per cent of profits and 20 per cent on the pay of boards of directors. All property is taxed at 2 marks per thousand for the the largest, and all increments on property are taxed from 1 to 10 per cent in order to get some part of the profits resulting to the owner from the fall in the currency. The inheritance tax ranges from 30 to 70 per cent. And s0_on. ~ “Last and most deadly of all, al- though it does not figure in the sched- uies as a tax at all, is the continued decline of the currency, which utterly wipes out fixed incomes and which re- duces salaries faster than the threat of strikes or even the wish to com- pensate for the loss can raise them It cuts the incomes of the poor, but it also cuts the puper profits of thé multi-millionaires.” Burt’s Correct Golfing Shoes Made with the new “raw” rubber soles—that l NI SRR IR SRS AN PR I R PN AR AR PN A ROCKINCHAIR Athletic Underwear for Men Birthday Celebrating by the Makers Bring These Popular $1.50 Rockinchair Union Suits $1.15 A special price for a limited time.
