TO CHECK IMMIGRATION
British Columbia Is Tired of Having
Hindoos Come In.

VANCOUVER, B. C.. Aug. Blowing to
the restrictions OF Chinese immigration
into Canada during the past few years,
large numbers OF Hindoos have been COM
ing into this port and securing work as
laborers in mills and mines. Agitation
against the Hindoo Inmi grafton has hith-
erto been unavailing, as the Hindoos are
British subjects. Now. however, the Do
minion Government has taken the matter
up with r. G. MacPhersons NJ. P. who
announced today on behalf OF the Gov
ernmeut that this immigration Will now
De checked on the score that such immi-
grants are undesirable. The immigra-
zion act allows the Governor General in

specified class of immigrants which, in
it's opinion, are Objectionable.

How Uncle Sam Levies Taxes.

One striking feature of the internal
revenue laws is that they never look to
quality or value, but always to quantity.
The tax on 1000 cigars is SO. no matter
whether they are "stogles" or the Key
West brand whose retail value is, say, 25
cents each. The tax on a "stogie" is
about one-1fth Of the retail value; It fs
less than one -eightieth the value of the
Key West cigar. The country plowboy
who comes 10 town Saturday afternoon
and invests cents In a package contain
ing three "cheroots" pays as much tax
into the treasury Of the United States In
making his purchase as does the fellow
who buys three cigars for dollar. The
tax Oh the cheapest twist tobacco" is s
cents pound; it Is the same on the best
grade of fine cut. IT ia about one third the
retail value OF the twist; IL is about one
twentieth the retail value OF fine cut. On
a barrel of common beer" worth 81 the
tax is 81; on a barrel Of the best grade
of sle porter or beer worth $l2 the tax is
still 81, The man who buys quart of
Georgia corn whisky for 80 cents pays
22k cents for the whisky and 271a cents
tax, A quart of old Kentucky bourbon
worth at retail $3.50 has paid but 271
cents tax, the other s1.22is being tho
value OF the goods over and above the
tax. The negro freQuenter Of the New
Orleans "honky-tonk" pays as much tax
to the Government in the purchase prlco
OF the "booze" consumed by him In
night OF wild debauch as does the swell
est New York millionaire in an evening
spent at his club.
