Back of the sharp decline was ad- vance notice of a presidential decree, published today, reducing salaries of public employes from 3 to 25 per cent, increasing income taxes from 2 to 25 per cent and impesing new taxes. Bank bonds particularly .shrank in value in the securities decline, which culminated a series of particularly de- pressing notices as to the state of gen- eral industry in Chile, which i con- sidered as well off or better off than any other South American country in the current economic depression. The salary cut, which begins with salaries of 3,000 pesos ($400) and in- cludes Army and Navy officers, is term- ed a “contribution” by the preside; tial decree. The general income t: of 6 per cent is increased from two per cent on incomes of 20,000 pesos ($2,500) to 25 per cent on incomes of from 500,000 pesos (60,0000 and over. The new taxes include two and one- half centavos on every 20 matches sold, 10 pesos on each cigarette lighter, 10 | per cent on lottery prizes, and 15 cen- tavos on each liter of beer.
