OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 1925.* TWO CENTS'“* rE«.f:uff* ■ -' I lerriot Has Even Chance in Big Eight o _ O parliament Will Begin It? Debate Upon Finance Bill, Separation of Which Committee Opposes. Decides Fate of Cabinet Paris, April 7.—The finance com mittee, after a lengthy discussion this evening, pronounced against the separation of the two parts of the finance bill. Increasing the circula tion and taxing .capital. n.v Th»* A •» nor in Dm! Pro**. Paris. April 7.—The political crisis brought on by the extreme meas ures proposed h» the French gov ernment to relieve the embarrass ment of its treasury Is now before parliament and debate will begin to morrow with about even chances that Premier Herrlot’s cabinet will 0f- sueenmb at the end of It. The concensus in the Jobby of the chamber of deputies tills evening, af ter the introduction of bills for n forced loan and for an Increase of 4.000,000,000 francs in paper money, was that the latter measure would Pass because the limit of Issue fixed by law already has been exceeded hut that favorable action by the chamber on the proposal for a forced loan was doubtful. The chamber was reported rather nonplussed by* the announcement to day that the increase In the issue of bank notes was to “regularized an existing situation.” This was the first public disclosure of the fact that the authorized limit of 41,000,000,000 francs In paper money had been ex ceeded, although rumors to that ef fect have been current on the Bourse for several weeks. The French parliament, however, was placed in the face of an accomplished fact. The money Is in circulation to an amount of about 2,000,000,000 more than authorized by law and the •situation must be made regular. Rill Expected to Pass. Roth the senate and the chamber are expected to pass the bill author izing a 4,000,000,000 Increase but with sharp criticism of the government for resorting to such an expedient without consulting parliament. Sen ator Henry Beringer, head of the fi nance committee of the senate this .-fternoon said that the proposed is sue in excess of the legal limit was cot for commercial purposes but for ^ i tie needs of tho treasury. There was considerable comment In lie lobbies of the upper house upon this revelation in view of the fact rimt less than a week ago Premier Harriot and M. Clementel, then min ister of finance, both Said the con templated Increase of paper circula lion was exclusively for the use of commerce. The crucial test between the oppo sition and the government will come on the forced loan which, despite the sugar coating given It by.the skilful t ew minister of finance. Do Monzie. is regarded by all who thus far have had an opportunity to pronounce judgment upon It as an eventual seizure of one-tenth of the wealth of France. The only return to the pos sessors of capital will be 3 per cent interest. Forced IJian Opposed. All parties agree that something 'radical must be done to put French finances on a sound basis but a forced loan, even In the attenuated form given It by M. De Monzie. en countei-s the united opposition of the moderate and conservative parties with the radical left group, led by M. I.oucheur, pure radicals also oppose It because it la understood to have been inspired by socialists and be cause It involves eventual inqulsitory measures. "A maximum of option, a minimum of constraint” is offered by the new financial bill, as set forth In the pre amble. but Its articles show that the levy la only voluntary for those not paying income tax and for two classes of income taxpayers, namely those living by salaries and members of the liberal professions. All others paying Income tax on landed prop erty. agricultural, industrial and com mercial profits, or Investment divi dends are compelled to subscribe one tenth of the capital value of their In comes. Such capital value will be estimated by a acale laid down In the bill which capitalizes house and land property »nd stock dividends at 12 times the In come they give and agricultural, In dustrial and commercial profits at three times the declared income. Veri fication of the subscriptions, the pre amble says, will Involve estimating In dividual fortunes, which will tie dis pleasing to the average Frenchman, hut the value of stock companies will not be eatlmated. No new penalties are provided for: those existing for false declarations concerning succession duties will be applied. f We Have With Us Today Jonathan B. IXiok.

Xew York, April 7.—The "emir of Kurdestan," like Philip Nolan, the fictional character of Edward Everett Hale's story, was placed today in the role of a man without a country. The transformation was accom plished by a special immigration board of Inquiry at Ellis Island which decided that the self-styled "emit” whose name Is Prince Mo hammed Said Seerdecheno, must be deported to England on the earliest eastbound steamer of tile White Star line.
