HEAVIER TAX LEVIES
PLANNED BraiM
Quick Return to Peace Time
Budget System Seen by
Erzborger
HINTS RICHES WILL VANISH
Djr the Associated Press
Berlin, July, 0. Germany Is quickly
to return to n peacetime financial sys
tem, said Mathlas Erzbergcr, vice chan
cellor onel minister of finance, spenklns
at Weimar before tho German national
assembly yesterday. Among other things
the pnyment of grants to men vtho are
unemployed will be reduced.
"The cmplro's needs must be divided
henceforth between home needs nnd In
demnities," he said. "Tho year's ex-
twPenuiiures connuiium a ..... ............
to about 17,rUU,UUU,uuu mnrns. i am
firmly resolved to tread the hard path
of economy, nnd therefore have given
out the watchword that from October 1,
1010. there shall be no more Hems not
detailed, and there shnll be no more
war funds. The war finance system
ihall cease nnd a regular budget system
must be ro-established.
"The first guiding principle Is that
there mnst be no moro unproductive
exjendlturcs. Therefore a grndual aboli
tion of noneraployment grants muRt be
faced. How are the full requirements
for the empire, new states nnd com
munes, which may be etimntcd at some
25,000,000,000 marks, to be covered?"
Indemnities Heavy Burden
After citing the returns to the empire
from taxation measures prior to nnd
during the war, and estimating the
revenue to be derived from new tax
bills, Herr Erxzerger said :
"There still remains a sum of over
10,000,000,000 mnrks to be covered.
"The ministry of finance has almost
completed th edraftlng of two Import
ant bills levying new taxes which I In
tend to submit to the House before the
parliamentary recess," he continued.
"These call for a largo single levy on
property and a large tax on business
turnover, but even If these bills are
passed, the money for tho pnyment of
indemnities must b eobtalncd In some
other way. In the autumn new bills
will be Introduced In the national as
sembly wlh tthe final object of covering
this deficit.
"Th beurdens of taxation will rncch
an absolutely terrible height. A float
ing debt of 72,000,000,000 mnrks Is a
ronstant danger and the removal of this
debt is one of our most utgent tskas.
There are two ways In which to do it:
cither its convcrson Into n funded lotan,
or its extincton by big lvells nnd a' heavy
eproperty tax.
"I do no tindulgc the hope that thee
two ways will immediately yield the I
entire amount of 72,000,000,000 marks. '
It Is the duty of propertied people, not I
only to bow to n sntte of nnpiilslon ,
but to achieve nn Inwnrd conviction ns
to the necessity of giving up all riches i
and all that Is superfluous,
"Changes In the system of tnxntlon'
will be speedily submitted to the ua-1
tlonnl assembly nnd this reform will
represent the completion of the whole i
work."
Herr Krzbcrgcr concluded by asking I
that taxation blls be disposed of be
fore n recess Is taken, nddlng:
"The war takes our riches. The
world has denied us International jus
tice. All tho more pnsslonatcly nnd
energetically, however, will we work
for tho homeland again nnd, flourish
ing in justice, conccntrnte our care
nnd endeavor upon the poor, but just
German."

CRIMEA CLEARED OF "REDS"
Bolshevist Army West of Dnieper

London, July 0. (By A. r.) The
Crimea hns been cleared of Bolshevik!
as n risult of the advance of General
Denikiue's troops west of the Dnieper
river, according to a War Office state
ment issued last night. The advance
wns over a front of seventy miles nnd
deprived the Bolshevik! of their sole
line of communication between their
main forces nnd those in tho Crimea.
General Denlkinc's volunteers have
met with great success on all parts of
the front, the statement says. They
hnvo reached a point on the Cnspian
const fifty-five miles southwest of
Astrakhan and another column is on the
banks of tho Volga, northwest of
Tchernol-lar. In capturing Tsnritzin,
tho Dcnikine forces took 10,000 prisoners.

The delegates, who expressed them
selves ns entirely satisfied with the re
sults of their efforts to bring the case of
Irelnnd before the Pence Conference anil
to the attention of the world, were met I
nt the Waldorf-Astoria bv Edward De i
Valera. the president of the "Irisdi Re- !
public." Arrangements were mnde for'
n meeting today of the leaders of
the Trixh movement in America, when ,
the complete report of the delegates will
bo presented nnd when a new nnd more j
intensive drive for Americnn public i
opinion will lie inaugurated. !
In nn interview jiostcrdny Mr. Wnlsh
scathingly denounced the British policy
in the I'eaie Conference nnd predicted
freedom for Irelnnd. by peaceful menns
or otherwise, within the course of a
few months. He said the press of Eu
ropp is ringing for action by England.
Sir. Dunne declared the sentiment in
Knglnnd for n complete settlement of
the Irish problem is such that unless
I.lowl George quickly nets in favor
of the Irish independence his government
will fall. Although Governor Dunne
would not snr it in so mnnv words, thorp
wns an inference that Lord Northellffe
wns in n mood for another assault upon
the government.
England Charged With Gain
"When England's pledges of altru
ism," said Mr. Walsh, "our late four
teen points, nnd the peoples, countries
nnd riches captured by England, with
its immense necessions of sen power,
are sqt down side by side, the condi
tion disclosed Is awesome to the demo
cratic mind.
"On November 10, MM, Mr. Lloyd
George declared : 'As the Lord Iiveth
Knglnnd docs not seek n ynrd of ter
ritory. We are in this war from
motives of purest chivalry, to defend
the weak.'
"On Februnry 27, 1015, he asserted
with dramatic fervor that 'the in
famous suggestion that Knglnnd de
sired territorial or other aggrandise
ment' wns a lie of the enemy.
"Here is n part of England's grab
of peoples under the peace terms:
German East Africa, area 3S4.1S0
square miles, population 7,005.204 ;
German Southwest Africa, area ft22.
200 square miles, population lOO.TOO;
German Snmonn Islnnds, nrea more
than 1000 square miles, population
IW.IHO; Nnurn, n small islet just
south of the equator; the Bismarck
Archipelngo. the Germnn Islnnds of the
Solomon group, the German portion of
New Guinea : the nrea of this territory
Is 04,200 square miles, the population
is 0:10,584 ; nnd she has sei7cd
1-K.vpt.
"The territory acquired bv England
through this wnr is 1100,000 square
miles greater than the total area of the
original thirteen states of the American
I'nion nnd more than five times ns
large ns the whole of France.
"England likewise is dominant In the
control of the league of nntlons. Sir
Eric Drummond being given the secre
tariat. He is now perfecting his or
gnnimtion in the shadow of Westminster
Hall In London.
"This secretarial control !! second
only in value to the acquisition of ter
ritorial riches. European statesmen
agree thnt the secretary of the league
nf nntlons will tic n more novverful fac
tor in hnldlne England's imperialistic
gnins nnd further lier agressions thnn j
would ho tho control of n clenr majority
of the representatives in that body, of
which England nlrendy has five to
America's one.
"Ireland today, under God, is writ
ing one of tho most brilliant pages in
the history of the great democratic
world endeavor I'nlrss she, with other
oppressed nations, swiftly secures her
liberty, the dead soldiers of democracy
will hnvo been tricked to their doom
and the hope of universnl pence must
fade before the murderous rule of the
naked sword."
ments were twisted out of their original
meaning,
"In this lntest 'explanation' there Is
mention of n Sinn Felu proclamation
In Tlppernry. Who is responsible for
that proclamation? It is much more
likely that that proclamation was got
out and put up by tho agents of the
English themselves thnn thnt it proceed
ed from nny Sinn Fein sources. Ser
geant Sheridan may not be known to
the American public and Tlppernry was
the scene, of his operations also.
"There has been no such proclamation
of the republican government covering
nny nren, but there hns been nn net
pnssed by the republican government
asking the Irish people not to frnter
nizo with the English force of occupa
tion, the armed constabulary. These
forces were to be ostracised socially.
"The cry of lawlessness Is nn old cry
of the British Government ngninst Ire
lnnd. The Irish people are now as they
hnve ever been., the most lnw-abldlng
nnd law-loving people on the face of the
earth. There is much tess ordinary crime
In Irelnnd thnn in England, and while
the British Government tries to blacken
Ii eland's reputation abroad, the regular
judges that administer English law in
Irelnnd nre constrained to ndmit that
Ireland is nt this very same time prnc
tirnlh crimeless."

The Vigor of
Swift & Company Continues
Only Because of Service
The only "control" over the packing
industry is the "control" that gathers
about the ability to do a necessary job in
the best way.
Swift & Company has reached a lead
ing place in the industry because the
size and character, of the job of providing
a nation's meat require the wide and
thorough organization, the experience
and devotion to duty, found in an institu
tion like Swift & Company. ,
The moment Swift & Company ceases
to perform its functions of usefulness with
the greatest efficiency and satisfaction to
the people, its position in the industry
will vanish.
Swift & Company service is performed
at a profit of a fraction of a cent per pound,.

F
ROM Bagdad to
Frisco, men in every
walk of life greatly
prefer pure Turkish
cigarettes.
The fact that "ordinary" cigar
ettes cost a trifle less, sometimes
appeals to one's pocket, but never to
taste.
Murads are 1 00 pure Turkish the
world's most famous tobacco for cigarettes.
Don't wound your pride or scramble your taste for
a trifling saving.
Murads are worth more than they cost and you
don't have to sneak the package in and out of your
