PROPOJED CAPITAL LEVIES.
Loon, March 3. A Board of Inland Revenue memorandum furnishes striking figures, estimating the net increase of national wealth between 1914 and 1919 at four thousand millions sterling, whereof two hundred millions is estimated to have been made by 280 individuals.It is suggested that a war levy should be primarily charged' upon individuals, starting from a clear com- parison of two aggregate capital values fixed at June 30, 1914 and June 30 1919. Returns of value as well as of sources of wealth would have to be made by the taxpayer. The Board suggests that the detection of wilful evasion should result in the recovery of the duty due, also heavy money penalties and imprisonment.
