OANIH STATE AN EXPENSIVE LUNCRY Chanoellor of Exchequer Says Situation is Not Enviable —— Copenhagen, Denmark, Feb, 2.—An inslght into Dapish finances is to be found In a recent speech in the Rigedag by the chancellor of th chequer, He says the situation no means enviable, and he ealls for immediate reductions in state ex- penditures as preferable to increased taxation, The expenditures of Denmark have risen enormously since 1913, . cording to a Danish economist. Ten years ago the annual total income of Danish citizens amounted to 775,» 000,000 crowns, of which 82,000,000, or a Mttle more than 10 per cent were pald to the state in taxes. Den- mark now confronts a budget of £50,000,000 ecrow or nearly seven times as much before the war, Between 1914 an 21 Denmark had a national income of 12,760,000,000 crowns, of which 2,437,000,000, or about 20 per cent, were pald into the national treasury. Hence it is seen what an expensive luxury the state has become. “Denmark must strive hard to get back to normalcy in het expenditure,” a leading Danish business man h said to the correspondent of The As- soclated Press. It is no good nibbling at the salary of the individual of- ficial. ‘That merely makes for inef- ficient public servants, and will only reduce expenditures a few millions, No it is necessary to scrap whole de- partments, or at least reduce the number of personel by one-third or one half of the present number. Gov- ernment departments have, in so- called good times, a tendency to mushroom growth, and every newly- appointed official creates work for cnother one. The result has been far too many officials and more expens- ive street car and railroad fares, gas, electricity, ete;, without a correspond- ing increase in quality of commodity, or service.” Another prominent leader in the commercial world was more definite in his policy. He deplored, for in- stance, that the Danish foreign of- fice, at a time when other govern- ments were cutting down expenses, had increased costs by appointing new ministers and consuls every- where. In his opinion it' was high time for minor states like Denmark to aholish altogether the costly prac- tice of keeping ministers abroad. He suggested merging the present con- sul-general and minister into one peg- son ,a kind of high commissioner, WHo should chiefly 1qok after the business end of the nation's interests, leaving political problems to the so- lution of special delegations, CROP s@v‘s‘ INCREASE Great Increasc in Ficld Crops of #1922 - Over Those of 1921 Is Shown.

The workman, an employee of the local water and light company, was told to go to a small pumping station on the outskirts of the city and to turn a certain valve to the left. By the time he reached the station he torgot which way was left, and turned the valve to the right. The result was a flooded engine, disabled pumps and Mexico City without water for tendays. 2 0 Manila, Feb. 2, (By The Associat- ed Press)—-It is reported here today that the one ship of the Russian retugee fleet reported wrecked off For- mosa yesterday was small, but it is not known how many persons were ahoard.
