In our country v. .get hve gone
up in the last few yer according to
the higher coM of hviiiu and al
though the retail price are going
down a they have all over the
uorld they have not o much fallen
at the wholeale prior and the
vagrt are (till on a higher level.
The increase of wage .ha caused
a tremendous increase of the ex
pintrt of the government and of the
'municipalities, for which increae the
factors of importance alio were thi
coniidrraMe expenioi for allocations
to unemployed and for Providian
houes a the housing problem in
our country is a very serious one.
So it ratne that although Holland
i not a militaristic country and
doe not keep a big army nor a pow
erful navy the budget of the govern
ment aroe from about 238,000,1)0
guilders in 191J to 938,000.000 guild
ers in 1922 ad the total of the bud
gets of the rnunicipalities rose from
279,000,000 guilders in 1913 to 850,
000,000 guilders in 1918. A later fig
ure is not available for me at this
moment but I think that it will not
be very much lower now. This big
increase of expenses created a tre
mendous increase of taxes, for we
think it necessary that budgets must
be balanced, and so at this moment
the man with an income of not more
than $4,000 pays more than 27 per
cent on income tax to the govern
ment and to the municipality. As
e have very strong progression in
our taxes in Holland it is easy to
understand that the people with big
incomes pay much more. (
Now being in this situation what
would be the standpoint of a Nether
lander with regard to the reconstruc
tion of Europe? I say as a Nether
lander because here I am talking
simply in that quality and not as a
representative of my government.
The first wish, of course, is to
have the taxes cut down, but this is
a rather internal affair. It may be
that the cutting down of govern
ment expenses all over the world
would help a great deal toward re
construction. With regard to foreign competi
tion, there are two currents in our
country, one wishes the government
to take measures to restrict impor
tation and the other one is opposed
to that, being convinced that, should
even restriction of importation foster
the sale of home produce on the
home market, export could not be
helped by that, and the lack of ex
port and the low prices which only
could "be got' for exported products
should make impossible ameliora
tion of the general conditions in our
country.
They think that an issue must be
found not on nationalist but on in
ternational lines, that one country
cannot be, healthy when the others
rT jjfifc and that for the health of
the other countries much cannot be
expected from partial measures but
from restoration of sound conditions
necessary for production in every
country and removal of all unneces
sary restrictions for the traffic be
tween the different countries.
After 14 Years
Courtesy to Woman Lands
Automobile Thief in Jail
Detroit, July 1. George Brown,
alias Gurnley, 22, of Cleveland, em
ployed in a downtown restaurant
here, is in jail charged with stealing
an automobile, because he was polite
to a woman, a former coworker.
The woman, Mrs H.. Eaton, wife
of a Cleveland patrolman, who, with
her husband is honeymooning in De
troit, entered the restaurant for
breakfast. C
When Brown worked with her in
Cleveland she was a "Miss." He
went up and spoke to her. Mrs.
Eaton recognized Brown as George
Gurnley, who had stolen an auto
mobile from the Searles Mercantile
agency of Cleveland, where she had
worked. She told her husband who
the man was, and the Cleveland
patrolman took Brown to the central
station.
Man Regains Health by
Returning to Primitive
Los Angeles, July 1. Frank Han
sen has a new way of cheating death.
Told by physicians that he was
rapidly approaching death, Hansen
has regained his health by returning
to the primitive life. Hansen is said
to have lived like a wild man on
Santa Cruz island, off Santa Bar
bara channel, for 18 months, sub
sisting alone on mussels, abalones
and fish. His only garment, it was
rtidv-was a bathing suit, which suf
fered considerably through hard
usage. v
It is claeimed by two ship captains
that Hansen attracted considerable
attention because he made friends
with wild foxes and boars found on
the island.
Cultural Education Is
. Necessary, Says Speaker
Westfield, Mass, July 1 Henry
Turner Bailey, director of the Cleve
land School of Art, cpeaking before
the graduating class of the Normal
school in this city, declared that
"bootlegging, loafing, gossiping and
other forms of useless activities
would disintergate the entire social
system if the majority of working
people had four hours of leisure
time." -
Bailey emphasized the need of mak
ing ht most of leisure time, saying
that the present level of intelligence
would disrupt the entire country if
people weren't kept busy. "A cul
tural education is as important as a
practical education," he said.

Oil Leakage of
Ships Killing
Rare Sea Birds
Extinction, of Specimens Will
. Follow Unless Preventive
Measures Taken, Says
Naturalist
Berlin. July 1. "Oil from ocean
going steamers kills sea birds by the
thnutands and soon will caue the
extinction of the rarest specimens
among them unlets measures to save
the fowls are taken at once," writes
the foremost biologist of Germany
the government ornithologist of the
Heligoland observatory, Dr. H. Wei
gold, in an article of the Hamburger
Fremdenblatt.
"The pipes of the ship pumps are
not tight, he states. "So hundreds
of gallons of bad oil find a way into
the water at open sea or at ports,
thus covering the surface of the
water with a thin skin of oil. Sea
birds expecting to find something
edible wherever they observe these
oily spots, rush into them, moisten
and soil their feathers with oil and
ran never get rid of it. It makes the
feathers stick together so that the
air no longer has access to their
bodies. Air is indispensable for
them to keep them warm. Most of
the birds getting in touch with oil
catch a fearful cold, become tired,
lose their strength and slowly fade
away.
"In this way thousands of sea birds
perish near ports on the California
coast where oil is .being unloaded.
And since the war some 10 or 12
specimens of seabirds simply were
