By the Associated Press PARIS, February of deputies virtually cnded its ardu- ous task this evening of finding re- sources to balance appropriations of 36,000,000,000 francs, after declding that declarations on income for the purpose of taxation shall henceforth be made under oath, as in England The deputies, however, found at the last moment taut there were still some odds and ends of reserved para- graphs to be passed upon, and re- signed themselves to another night's session Adjournment for ceded .by a heated discussion as to the merits of the American prohibi- tion law.

The “tax cheque” is a sort of bond issucd through banks and post offices Ly mfeans of which taxes may be pald in advance. A man buying these bonds to the amount of 950 francs, for instance, can at once turn them into the treasury and get credit for 1,000 francs on ta coming due. The government hopes by this means to keep the payment of taxes right up to date, and estimates that it will during the Month of March bring into the treasury a billion francs in addi- tion to receipts from back taxes. —The chamber dinner, was pre- , dissident’ commuii- reply said that the had been kept in ig- The discussion over the efficacy of |' prohibition was provoked by the de- bate on the proposed increase in taxes of alcohol, which was stoutly resist- ed by the deputies from wine-gro ing districts.
