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

There will, however, be no sue

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

the only question at issue is th

With the landing of the balloon
Birmingham Semi-Centennial at

of the nine gas bags which left
here Saturday night in the nation
al balloon elimination race had
come to earth. Others were be
lieved to be somewhere over Ohio,
probably heading eastward.
Birmingham, Ala., May 23.
Four of the nine balloons which
started from this place late Satur
day In the national elimination
contest ared own. The others are
believed by officials of the Aero
Club of America and local forecast
ers to be somewhere over Ohio to
day with their course probably
eastward which would take them
over Pennsylvania and New York.
'City of Akron." piloted by
Wage P. 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.

,REGON has announced to all the world
that it has set the stage for a World s Ex
position in 1 925.
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.

l'o the Editor: Permit me t
use a little space in answering the
letter written by Charles W. 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

en such service to those who can
not afford it? 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.
