Taxation in Japan. 95 Their income as well as the emoluments of officials were taxed in some territories. It is said that the poor lords levied 30 or 40 per cent, on the income and emoluments of the officials and the knights. In Japan as well as in China, Rome, India, and other anciei t nations, the poor were constantly in debt to the rich who used to lend them money at so high a rate of interest that it soon amounted a sum too great for the debtor to pay. The result was that the poor were obli...ged to surrender their lands to meet this obligation. But men of high rank and the Samurai in Japan were prohibited from engaging in trade or from inter- marriage with the common people. As a class, they despised money. Money matters were considered the business of lower class. The spirit of the Japanese knight in this regard was like that of the Spartans. His duties were in the lines of military discipline, politics and literature ; and this con- tinued to be the case until the recent abolition of the feudal system.
