IRELAND WANTS TO COLLEST
ALL ARREARS IN TAXES
Dublin, Nov. 25.—(By Mail)—
The Irish income tax is raising sev-
er^l interesting problems. During
the fight with the English, the order
; went forth that no Irishman should
pay income tax to the British,
i difficult to collect it, therefore,
[ and large arrears remained outstand
ing. When the Treaty was made, the
British assigned to the Irish govern-
•nt all the Irish arrears of income
c as an asset Unless these arrears
s paid the deficit of the Irish gov-
I ernment will be considerably increas-
i ed.
But there is now great hesitation
about paying. People say it is hard
enough to pay one year’s income tax
without adding arrears which they
were invited not to pay, and have
since spent. The suggestion has been
made by a responsible financier that
the pre-Truce income tax should be
wiped out But the Irish government
agreement with the British assumed
certain burdens for which these
arrears were a set-off, and if the
arrears are not paid additional tax
ation will have to be imposed to meet
those burdens. Appeals are made
the ground of patriotism and duty
i new government, but it seems
evident that a large part of the
arrears are now uncollectable.
The future of the Irish income tax
is also attracting attention. There

FOREIGNERS CANNOT
HOLD REALTY IN FRANCE
Paris, Dec. 28.—The points In the
earlier stages of the bill recently voted
by the Chamber of Deputies without
discussion were that foreigners can
not hold real estate in Prance without
special permit from the government.

people of the United States, what ftre discussed by the Temps In an edl-
taxes they pay and the amount of
their public debts state, county and
city and other subdivisions permitted
to issue securities—will be started
Jan 1. Officials said yesterday their
plans were virtually complete tor the
work which, it is expected will be ac
complished in about six months.
Much interest attaches to the
census of the public debts because of
the move for a constitutional amend
ment prohibiting the further issue of
taxexempt bonds, and because it is
not known the length to which the
sale of tax-exempt securities have
gone. Treasury officials have said re
peatedly that the continued issue of
much higher federal tax_ rate because
of the tendency of large taxpayers
to invest in that form of securities.
Efforta will be made, once the
amount of tax-exempt securities is
officially computed, to establish the
cost to the American people as a whole
of the continued Issue of tax-free
bonds. The census of ten years ago
gives no criterion for estimating the
present outstanding amount of such
bonds, it was said, by officials who
pointed out that the war-time and
post-war issues of securities of politi
cal subdivisions had tremendously in
creased the total.
The new issues it was asserted had
•me at a time when the federal gov
ernment was increasing its own debt
and taxes at a rate unequalled in the
nation’s history. The federal govern
ment consequently, it was said, had
been forced to pay higher interest
rates and raise its taxes to unprece
dented figures because of the flow of
money into the bonds whieh paid

Ireland, haove property in England
and there are many resident in Eng
land who have property in the Free
State. Hitherto all these people
have paid income tax in one lump to

feared that they may have to submit
to a double income tax. It is a
grievance familiar in the Dominions

these taxpayers from a repetition of!

torlal, which declares:
“It is impossible that the Senate
will adopt a bill so opposed to the real
interests of France.”
The bill was introduced in the cham
ber some years ago when M. Melier-
and was premier. At that time it
contained no reference to exchange
but aimed only to incur the security
of France. Its clauses affected only
the frontier departments. When
reached the chamber’s committee on
civil and criminal legislation its scope
was enlarged to cover the whole
France.
The chamber’s hasty vote,” says
the Temps, "was obtained by surprise.
Neither the minister of Justice nor the
presidents of the committee on legis
lation and foreign affairs had been
made aware that it was inscribed
the day's agenda among the bills
which a vote might be taken if there
as no debate.”
The Temps objects to the retroactiv
ity of the bill which, it asserts, is con
trary to the fundamental principles of
legislation and disturbing to foreign
opinion, and points out that the price
of real estate has followed closely the
fall of the value of the franc, while
the purchase of real estate by foreign
ers brought to France and kept there
large sums of money.
