TAX PROBLEM.

Japan's Experience.

It is a common phenomenon all over the world at when once a tax is imposed Governments are inclined regard it as an irre- movable, mossure upon which the stability of the financus of the country de ends.

The Tex ile Consumption Tax, which wa imposed to pay for the war with Russia, like the Transit Tax, is still with us, and the announcement that a slight con- crasi is to be made in the: amount of the tax is given with the air of one bostowing an in-; estimable hoon, comments the Japan' Chromcle. As an attor of fact the ex should have been abolished long ago, as one of thoso indirect XPR which cost a lot to collect and are oppressive to com- merce and industry. Tho request for the reduction of the exciso duties is regarded as reasonable in some instances, we are told, whereas what we should be told is tha his imposition, now included among the regular axeB of the country, although only imposed temporarily when it wast initiated, in to be abolished altogether.

The Government is an ious to Kivn every assi-tanco to trado an industry Lat it try what tho removal of the bad taxes would effect. Some of the money sa vad by the postponement of public works might well be devoted to this purpose. Abolish the Toztilo Consumption Tax, the Business Tax and the Transit Tax, the thr had taxes, and removo hindrances to progross. At the same time the double postage on lottors abroad, which goOS SO much to Japan's discredit, shouldi also so by the board

All Japan's Governments pro- fess a desire to promote Japan's trade and industry, hut they all įsucne«sively continuo theнo taxes on trade and industry which serve to trammel its..prokross. Instead of striking at the root money is wasted in inoffootus efforts to give commerce a tem porary boost.

TAKES PRIDE IN ANNOUNCING THE

BIGGEST BOXING SHOW

Ever seen. Nine full reels of thrills, suspense and excitement unequalled in motion picture history,

FIRPO vs. WILLS

(12 Rounds)

DEMPSEY vs. GIBBONS

(15 Rounds)

So great was the interest and entha- siasm aroused by these sensational bouts, on September, 12th 1924, that thou- sands of people were turned out from Boyle's thirty acres stadium. Just think what wonders the Cinema does. The Cinema will bring you to the ring- side and show two of the World's Greatest Bouts. Think how much will it cost you to travel from Hongkong to U.S. In two different trips, and if you are "turned out" as thousands were, Just think, if you will not feel being "knock- out" if such things happened to you,

A SHOW FOR EVERYBODY

Boxing Fans, Boxers, Amateurs, sports- men and everybody should not miss it. There must be something really good in it when Boxing shows attract in every part of the Globe.
