ITALY MOST TAXED
COUNTRY IN
WHOLE WORLD
Even Love Is Taxed
Rome, Sept. 26.
THERE is always a big hue and cry in Britain when an increase in taxes is con- templated.
As a matter of fact the citizen doesn't know what taxation is, if he were an Italian subject, now, he'd find out soon enough. It is estimated that an Italian citizen pays nearly half his income, either directly or indirectly, to the government in the form of taxes.
He pays a tax on everything he wears and eats, on every cheque he cashes or writes, every bill that he pays and every official letter or con- tract must be written on official stationery bearing the government seal.
Here, for instance, are just a few of the taxes which must be paid by an Italian family:
1. Au income tax of 8 per cent
of his salary.
2. Balking tax. furniture Lax and land tax.

Just A Start
When he has paid those he has really just started, however, for in the price of everything he buys contains a good percentage for the government. Government, tux on food runs as high as 600 per eent on some items-and if it happens that he owns a business of his own, there are many more that must be paid.
Supposing, for example, he owns a small coffee shop.. Coffee In Italy is not mado in pots or the -urnă familiar to Britons. It comes from a large, machine in which steam is generated by electricity and forced through little spigots so that each cup is made of fresh grounds. The proprietor not only pays a tax on his coffee machine, he pays in addition for each upigot.
He pays an ice cream tax if he selis ice cream, and another for the privilege of selling sand- wiches, cakes and pastry and still another if he serves cooked food. He pays a tax for the light out Calde his doorway, sO much for each Jetter in the sign on his window and other taxes for an operating licence, a liquor licence. if he sells drinks, a tax on the income of the place in addition to his personal Income, a tax on his fixtures and every eontrivan- ce in the place.
Collect 'Em All
Besides these taxes he pays regular yearly assessments to the national medical aid Institute, the Fascist syndicate, the governi, ment's old-age pension system and contributes another assessment to the federation fund for unemploy- ment relief, and still another con- tribution
to his share for the night policing of the district. When he has paid all these taxes
