Newman ol iljstana, Louis E. Sweet of Colorado, 83L Thirty years later tbe debt bad risen to $1,120,000,000. This Immense Increase was due mainly to tbe Chinese and Russian war, and a continuing expenditure on a large scale Is necessitated by the national defense. In the year 1908 the army and navy cost $144,189,183. Between April L 1895, and March 1, 1909, tbe army cost $376,085,088 and the navy $313,443,440. The national defense baa cost a total of $689,423,523 wltbln fourteen years and this without counting the cost of the Russian war. Corea, Formosa and Manchuria have demanded heavy expenditures. A merchant marine has been established, many extensive public works undertaken, including railways, telegraphs and telephones, and all these things have been done by a only 26,000 country that contains square miles of arable soil Under such conditions It Is easy to believe that taxation Is tbe question of the day In Japan and has been so for many years. Since the outbreak of the Russian war the land tax has ranged from 3 per cent to 17.6 per cent. The tax on liquors ranges from $5 per 40 gallons up to 17.40ft per 40 gallons, according to tbe percentage of alcohol. Then comes the Income tax, which Is arranged upon a sort of graduated scale. Before the war the tax paid by jurldlcat" persons was 2ft per cent, but after the war an additional tax was levied equal to 80 per cent up to 400 per cent, of tbe ordinary rate. An Income tax of 2 per cent was also levied on publlo loan funds and company debentures. All other persons not already assessed is above pay a rate In proportion to their income. Before the war those with an Income of 300 yen ($150) per annum paid 1 per cent., and this increased according to the Income up to 5ft per cent. Now the lowest Income pays 10 per cent and the highest 20.35 per cent There are various exceptions, such as army and navy officers while engaged In war, widows, orphans, pensioners, etc. There Is also a tax on textiles, an excise duty on sugar, and a substantial revenue from the post office. The customs tariff also Is responsible for a substantial Income amounting to about $22,000,000 a year. Mention should also be made of tbe state monopolies of tobacco, salt and camphor, worth about $25,000,000 a year. Adacbl Klnnosuki describes the willingness of tbe Japanese people to be taxed and tbelr uncomplaining response to demands that are necessitated by tbe good of the country. His statement is so remarkable that It Is worthy of quotation. He says: In 1895 we went to war with,Chlna. Our government wanted money, and wanted It badly. It lit our people know about its needs In terms of war loans. To the first call tbe people answered by putting up $25,000,000. Tbe government wanted more, and on the second call It succeeded In getting from tbe people $15,000,000 in all $40,000,000. Tbe people gave this amount very willingly. That fact was very plain on tbe very face of It. It was widely advertised also. Tbe thing that was not so well known, especially outside of the country, however, was that this was all that the people could do at the time and a little more.

That is ft very high proportion,- but the fiscal authorities seem to have no doubt that It can be maintained, and probably even raised. It seems impossible to economize except by a reduction of the expenditure for armaments, and there seems to be Uttle chance for that. Armaments on their present scale are com sldered to be absolutely necessary tl the preservation of the national llfa, and as a Japanese writer recently remarked: Of what use Is It to economize tbe nation's finances at the cost of national destruction?" In 1907 there were 2,236 banks In Japan, with a total capitalization ot - 579.628,220 yen and which showed balance In deposits of 1,830,693.276 yen.
