DISASTER IS AVERTED Eloquence of New Premier in Plea for Nation's Life Wins Support ' of Majority, j? (AaocUtrd Tnm Laucd Win.) PARIS. Dec 3 Premier Brian J's new cabinet has won its first vic tory. After an all night and all forenoon fight in the Chamber of Deputies for his financial meas ures, the premier succeeded In forc ing; the adoption of new advances from the Bank of France to the government of six billion francs and a new paper money issue of 7300,000.000. The final vote on the bill as a whole was made a question of care and was carried 257 to 229, a ma jority of 28. It was the fifth vote of confidence during the lengthy session. M. Brland made it plain during the debate that the government was staking its existence on the measure In Its entirety and that If the financial program as outlined by finance Minister Loucbeur was rejected the ministry would step down Immediately. The bill now goes to the senate. The finance committee, under Sen " -ator Doumer, Is meeting this after ! noon to examine It. Oration Moves Deputies. The measure voted today in the fourth measure of its kind to be passed by the chamber. Brfore the final this morning, the premier In a speech In which he rose to height of eloquence he has never surpass ed, attacked those deputies who were unwilling In a national crisis to forget petty political considera tions and think only of their coun try. The veteran orator Impressed and convinced some, as was evi denced when on the first vote of ronfidence, a motion to proceed to the discussion of the bill, most of the principal opposition groups 'ab stained from voting and be was ' upheld 298 to 11. - The temper of the house waa un certain, the deputies seemingly be ing torn between realization of the gravity of the situation and fear for the effect the heavy Increase In taxes Involved In the bill would have on their constituents. Circulation Increased. While admitting some minor changes and additions, the govern ment stuck to the bill about as d-afted. Article V. authorizing the emis sion of 7.500.0(10 francs In new pa per, bringing the total circulations to 67.K0fl.0OA.A0O was voted by a show of hands.

After the first article of the bill had been adopted with minor ad justments. Teputy Mlssoffe, democratic-republican, proposed an ad ditional amendment establishing a super tax of 20 per cent on all real estate operations carried on behalf of foreigners. Finance Minister Lourheur asked the senate to reflect on the conse quence of such an article and min ister of Justice Renoult remarked that a bill dealing with the ques tion was before the senate.' Never theless the article was passed by a vote of 420 to 65. tjiter. a 20 per cent Increase In the general Income lax, a 25 per cent Increase In the tax on commercial properties, and 100 per cent Increase on mine ren tals were voted.

Shows Reason for Claim Made By Tax League. WRONG TOTAL USED Claim That Budget Was $11,000 Too High Based on Total Taken From 1 924 Summary.- That the 1926 budget of Douglas county, now before the court for final adoption is S712.2S below the 1 amount wnicn could nave Deen raia ini"! under the six per cent limita tion. Is the statement made tnis morning by County Clerk I. B. Kid dle, following a careful check of all figures included in that impor tant document. y The county court la now con sidering the budget in the light of the several recommendations made by the taxpayers league at the meeting held last Saturday, and will officially adopt the budget during the present meeting. - Claims that the 1926 county bnd gtt was more than $H,0UU over the six per cent limitation were pre sented at the last meeting of the Douglas County Taxpayers league. The claim waa advanced by Col. J. O. Day, and upon motion of Dr. C. II. liailcy, a committee of the tax league was apioiuted to in vestigate. Colonel Day yesterday conferred wlih County Clerk 1. B. Riddle, and the error which re sulted in the claim being made was located and corrected. The uuuget summary contains all Hems for which money must be raised by taxation. Certain items such as state tax, the various mill age taxes voted by the people, bond sinking fund and bond interest, are not affected' by the six per cent, only the general county levies emu- iug tinder the restrictive law. . The high school tuition fund is a fund levied on non-organizd high school districts and not affect ing the entire county. When As. sessor Calkins made up his 19-1 tux roll summary he listed all fumU alfecting the general county in the item of general taxes. The high school tuition fund was levied sep arately in the Item of special taxes. In making up the budget for this year the Item of high school tui tion fund was included in the total amount of the budget, but. was not figured in the amount subject to 6 per cent limitation. In the comparison of figures the 1924 tax roll general lax summary was compared with the 1926 bud get, showing a difference of more than 12 owl. and when the two men got together it took consider able time and figuring before the difference was finally locaUMi. 'The error developed, according , county Clerk liidole, because Colonel Iay tiok the as wor'a Items, and compared it with the J2i budget in which the hih school tuition fund apiared in the total, although not figured in the sum coming under the limitation. The V.2r budget, from which the tax summary was prepared, carried a total of CfiTO.130.fil in general taxes, to which should have l-en ad.li'd Ihe sum of S2l,:i'itl niKn scnooi iiiiuon iuihi, mi piu 11 on the same basis as Ihe l'.i26 hud get. The stale tax, common school fund, maturing bonds, and Interest on bonds, all outside the six per cent limitation, amounted In the 1K25 budget to ltllT.4Bl.37. which deducted 'rom the total levy left J262.66S.24 subject lo the six per cent limitation. An Increase of six -, . . . . ' levied In the 1026 budget. The 1926 budget provided a total general tax of $744.02 85. this to rta containing the hlgi school tul- tlon fund, which w as "not carried on (he tax summary of l!21. made up from the lfl25 budget. Deduct ing the state tax. common school fund, high school tuition fund, ma turing bonds anil Interest, fthich total $474 6M.51 outside the limi tation, the total amount k-Tled for comity purposes on the present htidwt Is J;9.4 19 3 which Is $!.
