The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon. Mnay, May 23 1921 Pace Shi Hungary t Impose Tax On Capital Drastic Measures Con templated To Put Nation Back On Pre War Basis .. By NEWTON C. PARKE Paris, May 23 Hungary is the f Inst big country emerging from the war to tackle the financial problem courageously, even though the wisdom of the step she is about to take may be ques tioned. France Is imposing some more taxes and waiting for Germany to pay war reparations; Germany and England are imposing more taxes and waiting for a fevival of their pre-war trade; Austria ad mits bankruptcy and is turning her affairs over to the Allies and the smaller Balkan countries are crying for help. But the Hungarian Government has decided to lay a direct tax on capital, a measure proposed by French Socialists as best fitted to bring France financial relief, but apeedlly turned down. The bill has been drafted and Is about to be introduced In the Hungarian parliament in the hope that it Will bring Hungary quickly to her bet. The measure proposed by Hun gary is the most radical ever pre sented by any modern government. It provides first for a tax, rang ing from 5 to 20 per cent on sav ings bank deposits and securities. Hungarian hanks will thus be forced to turn over to the Govern ment a sum estimated at about half a billion dollars. The most unique reature of the bill ts the distinction, for pur poses of taxation, between men who actually served at the front during the war and those who oc cupied "dug-out" positions In the year. The latter will be heavily taxed according to their wealth and some of them will be forced to turn over fifty per cent of their Incomes. But a millionaire who himself served In the rear but lost a son In the war will be taxed In the same way as a soldier who nerved at the front. The bill hits possible war-profiteers. Every manufacturer who, by urging the importance of his business, succeeded in obtaining draft exemption for hiB men, will be forced to pay a tax of 2,000 crowns for each man thus kept from the front. This sum togeth er with that raised by taxation of noncombatants, will be used In paying pensions to wounded sol diers. A tax de luxe that will make similar measures in other coun tries look extremely feeble Is an other feature of the bill. Extrava gances In women's clothing will De mil nard and .there are other clauses designed to drag money from the man who drinks or mokes. In Introducing the bill the Chancellor of the Exechequer will announce that hereafter Hungary will Issue no more paper monev Standing Armies of France and Poland Largest In Europe Rehearing an Phone Rates Is Announced Washfngton, May 23.

Not to delude the reading pub lic with the Impression that the game was fast, it can only be said that it was anything but so. The crowd went to sleep and forgot to get up Jn the seventh inning for Its annual stretch. Even the umpire was robbed of his usual bouquets. Following Holmes in the' fifth, Lund struck out, Mckenna came to bat and with a long hit to left field brought Holmes In for the first score, thus winning the steel helmet donated by Kafoury brothers. In the sixth Inning, Hayes beat out a slow.grounder to the mound. Keene hit through second. Hayes warmed up the homeward path on a bad overthrow to third Keene advancing to third on the same play.

In the eight inning Irwin was tosunsututed for Lund because of siui snouiaer which necessitated a change to save the big fellow's arm. The Arleta boys succeeded in making three runs on two hits off Irwin, but without discredit to the new moundman. Jeff gave all the boys enlarge ments of the team. McKenna got a boi of candy.

The public service commission In an order issued Saturday after noon, fives June 27 as the date for a rehearing of its order of last March granting to the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company material increases ib its rates to patrons of its lines in Oregon. There will, however, be no sue pension of the telephone rates granted in the March order pend ing action on the rehearing, the1 order point out that "petitioners for rehearing attempted no show ing whatever to justify a suspen sion of rates fixed in order 689, either in whole or in part, and therefore this commission is war ranted in assuming that neither the law nor the facts support their contention." Declaring that no specific points of error in the rate order had been shown liy the petitioners who had only 'very remotely intimated that tlure might be some new facts and evidence to support the grounds alleged," the order point. out that the commission has no de sire to be so highly technical as to prevent the presentation of tes timony or evidence material oi competent and bearing on the is sues involved, and that "thereforu the rehearing will be granted to give all interests a further oppor tunity of offering new facts, rele vant to (he issues involved." The rehearing order, which cov ers seven typewritten pages, re cites in detail the circumstances surrounding the issuance of the present effective order and the move for a rehearing of the rata order. The rehearing is granted on th petition of the city of Portland "on Its own behalf and on behalf of other cities and towns in Oregon and the order makes it plain that the only question at issue is th rate order of last March.

Four of the nine balloons which started from this place late Satur day In the national elimination contest ared own.

Van Orman, in the na tton elimination balloon race, landed at Lebanon, Tenn., 'approx imately I'.O miles east of Nashville at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon, ac cording io a telegram today to Samuel C. Bowman, one of the score keepers. The other ballons down are the Army No. 1, which landed yester day near Columbia, Tenn.; the Chamber of Commerce of St. Louis, and the City of Birmingham which were forced down yesterday near Nashville, Tenn. Weather forecasters said that the banks of "high" pressure meet ing a "low" in the Mississippi val ley region created small centers of disturbances which probably were responsible for the forced landing of the lour bags.

In order to bring into full view the magnitude of such an undertaking, it is necessary for every resident of this fair state to realize that such an event can only be as great and brilliant as its men and women ordain. Let it, then, be the mission, the inspiration, the thought of the people of Oregon to point with enthusiastic pride toward the development of the highest intel lectual achievement that lies within their power. Let the wealth, refinement and industrial strength of the state be poured forth in abundant array for the world to behold and enjoy as the spirit of the great West. Let the people of this great state combine their ef forts and march as one great army toward the goal the Atlantic-Pacific Highways and Electrical Exposition wishes to attain with the same spirit that prompted the pioneers who blazed the trail of our first civilization. Let us emulate as one mighty force what God has wrought in the big, free and open-hearted West, and where the hand of man has transplanted the new Gar den of Eden. Let us from this hour on proclaim the name and fame of the new wonderland that lies west of the Rockies, and let us consider ourselves, individually and collectively, bound to the performance of our duty as citizens to make the Exposition of 1 925 one worthy of the name, triumphant to the end. To justify our position ; to acquaint the world with our intent ; to understand the full meaning of our posi tion as hosts, let us in unison display this message: ATLANTIC-PACIFIC HIGHWAYS AND ELECTRICAL EXPOSITION 1925 Return to world peace. 111 ""UWAV tun,..

Nie meyer and published in Friday night's issue of your paper, re garding the Salem hospital. Mr Niemeyer starts out by asking if it would not be "infinitely better (or those concerned to consider tho advisability of inviting the co operation of the Catholics." hut before he gets through he would have the Catholics build the hos pital entirely. That ts what he terms co-operation 1 would judge. 1 would like to ask Mr. Niemeyer why a Protestant community like Salem should have a Catr'c hi pital? He also states that if the Salem hospital has ever paid, it Is the only one In the world thai ever has. I would like to see the facts published on that. He lsu goes On to state that Catholic hos pitals are self-supporting. Why then is St. Vincents hospital in Portland asking for money through the Community Chest? Why does the Catholic hospital in Tacoma, Wash., make a drive for funds every year, as does the one In Victoria. B. C?

Why wouldn't the facts of both the Salem hospital and that of Catholic hospitals in this regard be interesting? Mi. Niemeyer even goes so far as to bring the starving Chinese Inio the argument, but refrains from saying anything about the so called Helief-for-Ireland fund be ing raised here in America by his Catholic. People who did not con tribute to the China famine fund should not complain. Mr. Niemeyer states that the "medical profession with about three exceptions, is solidly in favor of a Catholic hospital, and that a number of our physicians would should a Catholic hospital be built here." It would be interesting to know the-facts regarding this and a statement from that profession would be worth while. Mr. Nie meyer goes on to tell us that he is a Protestant. We have many so called Protestants in our midst, and it is worth while to find out where they really stand. Take it all in all, his letter is a bit of rather clever propaganda to fore stall the building of the Salem hosiptal and place that institution in the hands of the Catholics. .
