Today Says France to England —“/ Am the Boss” A Rare Old Fenny. War—The Heaviest Tax. By ARTHUR BRISBANE j France none too politely tells England to mind England’s busi ness. That reply, France tri umphant, has often given.' J’y suis, J’y reste; here I am, here 1 stay. England tells France, “You have destroyed Gerjnany, and Germany destroyed means ruin to English industry.” Poincare replies for France, “Germany is not de stroyed. In any case English in dustry does not concern France. We intend to make Germany pay for damage done to us, and shall proceed according to our judg ment, not guidod or restrained by England. It’s a tense, interesting situa tion. The next move is England's. Here those who have not chloro formed their judgment with mushy sentimentality will be glad that the United States is out of that Eu ropean mixup and will allow no democrat or republican to put Uncle Sam’s fingers, to be squeezed, into the Anglo-French quarrel. Ella G. Bushnel Hamlin, presi dent of the Trident Publishing company, in Iowa, writes: “I used to own a large-sized American copper, coined in 1787. It had a chain of 13 loops around the outer edge, and in the center the inscription, ‘We Are One.’ On the other side was a plow share and rising sun and the inscription, ‘Mind Your Business.’ ” “Mind your business” ought to be stamped on every American coin and written across the face of every American bank note for the next 10 years. Patriotic newspapers that urged young men to go to Europe and get shot for their dear country now mourn about the cost of a bonus and war pensions. Were there no question of in gratitude, decency and honesty in volved, the pensions and bonus should be paid, if only to remind those patriotic newspapers that howled for the war, that war is costly. You are informed by haggard, careworn profiteers that the com pensation for disabled men and pensions will amount to $125,000, *'00,000 in the first 67 years. And that amount doesn't include a bonus or “adjusted compensation for men not disabled.” One hundred and twenty-fivo billion dollars in 57 years sounds a ■treat deal. But the money would >e spent here, and stay here, and n that period of 57 years the in ome of the United States, based >n present figures, will amount to it least three thousand billions, ■r 24 times 125 billions. In 67 ears, 125 billions is only 4 per >:nt of the national income. Those patriotic newspapers used to tell you, although it was non ense, that if our young men didn’t go over and get shot, Ger many would come here and con quer us, after finishing the rest of the world. Is 4 per cent ton much for rescue from such a fate? To get rid of "taxation without representation,” which used to worry our ancestors of 1776, takes more than one revolution. King George and his descend ants tax us no longer. But their entire taxation was child’s play , compared with modern institution* that tax without representation. There are all the well-organized corporations that “fix prices” and tax everything from gasoline to sugar. You know about them. Then there are certain special ists in taxation. For example, an official food and drug commission estimates that drug peddlers col lect $60,000,000 a year from their victims. Sixty dollars is said to he the average payment by drug ad dicts. And that special tax of $60,000, 000, in turn, is nothing at all com pared with amounts collected by bootleggers. They probably pay out at least $60,000,000 a year for bribery, “protection,*’ etc., and take in at least $1,000,000,000. It takes a rich country to spend the taxation that this country stands.

Counterfeiters Would Lose Money in Reproducing German Currency Notes Under 1,000 Marks Not Worth Paper — 41 Plants Working Day and Night, Turning Out 17,563819,142 Marks Worth of Money Every Hour. By A«*orlnted Prni. Berlin, July 17.—Forty-one German printing plants, working day and night, disgorged 17,583,819,142 marks worth of fresh paper money every hour during the first week in July, according to figures available today. The total paper currency circulation on July 7 was 20,241,782,968,000 marks, an increase of 2,950,721,616,000 over June 30. The aluminum coinage In circulation increased in the same period from 1,000,000,000 marks to 20,200,000,000. The printers are working in three shifts every day in the week. It Is unofficially stated that no note under the face value of 1,000 marks will be printed In the future, as it costs more than the note Itself actually is worth to print any of the smaller denomina tions. A 500-mark note is worth no more than the paper used. A curio collector is said to be pay ing from 5 to 10 times the face value of certain old 100-rnark and 1,000 mark notes, declaring those printed from copper plates are the only ones acceptable abroad, and the later ones, printed from type, ore refused be cause they aro too easily counter feited. This is discredited In some quarters on the belief that counter feiters would lose money by produc ing false notes of such low denomina tions. All the notes now are being printed from type In order to increase the output. The federal printing plant alone is able thus to issue 14,400,000 notes dally, while only one-tenth of this quantity would be possible If copper plates were used. Further more, it takes six months to prepare one copper plate. Even the new million-mark notes which are to be issued soon Will be printed from type. Aside from the unusual increases in paper and aluminum money circu lation, there is an increase of 3,508, 029,156,000 marks In discount security bills which, on July 7, totaled nearly twenty-two trillion marks. The relchs bank gold deposits abroad showed a decrease of 10,000,000 marks. These deposits now total 130,032,000 marks.
