was agricultural. The reserves were, in 1913, 542
million, of which 1 million was agricultural, and in 1916, 841
million, of which 3 were agricultural. (For some reason or other,
"fishing" is included under "agricultural." On careful dissection I
find that of the 45 million of investments credited to agriculture in
1918, only 28 million are purely agricultural.) The land tax is
estimated to yield 73 million yen in 1920-1. It is 2-1/2 per cent. on
residential land, 4.5 per cent. on paddy and cultivated land--3.2 per
cent, in Hokkaido--and 5.5 per cent. on other land--4 per cent. in
Hokkaido.
