   "NOTE.—According to this Table, which sets forth the plans for the first period, it is proposed that the new system should first be introduced in Changlu, Fengtien, Shantung, Hotung, Huaipai, Kansu, etc. The rate of taxation has been fixed at $2 per hundred catties for all. If the original tax is lower than that amount it will be raised, and if above it will be reduced. The original rate of tax for the Three Eastern Provinces is very low, therefore more has been increased. In the case of Hotung where the rate is above $2 it is therefore to be reduced. As Kansu belongs to the North, it should also be included in the first period reform, for the uniformity of rate of taxes. But as the report from that quarter has been too vague, no details can be given here. It has been decided that delegates be appointed to proceed there to institute an investigation, so that this province may be included in the list of the first period."
