A great part of the present taxation is, however, imposed for the purpose of what are called social services, for the maintenance of the unemployed and for other purposes which have nothing to do with the war. Taxation in this country per head of the population is higher than in any other country with which our Industries are in com- petition. This does not mean, of course, that each person in this country pays more than any person in any of the other countries concerned, but that the whole of the taxes levied divided by the number of people in the country gives a higher quotient. The following table shows roughly, not how much each person in the different countries named does pay, but how much he would pay if the total taxes were evenlv divided amongst all.
