WAR TAXATION.

Congress appropriated $16O 900 for pensions,
$1O3 OOOO 900 for the army and $137,OOOOOO for the
navy-more than $500, 900 of war expense The
United States treasury has deficit of more than
100000 900 in prospect for the current year. and
the member of the Presidents cabinet is
greatly concerned about ways and means to over
come this adverse condition.
The present situation is owing in part to trade
conditions, that affect importations and reduce
duties but far more to the reduction OF revenues
resulting from the prohibition wave that has been
traversing the country with constantly increasing
force. It is claimed that $150,000,000 of revenue
and $16OOO,OOO of duties have been derived from
liquors whose use is now being curtailed To Off
set this serious loss of income to the treasury
it has been proposed to place taxes on tea and
coffee on incomes, inheritances and on bust
ness papers, by stamps. All these are of recourse
war measures.
Perhaps there has never been time when the
sentiment was more favorable toward income
tax than the present, and it is very likely that
steps will be taken to remove the objection raised
against it by closely divided decision OF the
United States Supreme Court. While recourse
may also be had to some of the other plans
by all means let us have no stamp tax That form
of war tax was odious at the time of the Revolu-
ton and is little less now. The Minnesota is
of more to the Nation that the Michigan, SO
let us put money into merchant vessels,
roads and schools and less into war wastes.

SPRING WORK.

The season has arrived for active operations.
To have these proceed rapidly and secure desired
results several things important. The team
should be in good condition and II not In work
through the winter it should be worked moder-
ately at first and not overworked. The same rule
applies to feeding grain rations. Excess in either
is apt to be injurious. The harness should be IN
good order and always properly adjusted to the
animal wearing it. Bad adjustment often causes
trouble and sometimes loss.
All tools should be thoroughly gone over al
iusted and supplied with needed bolts and parts.
Extras should be at hand for use when needed
without delays Time counts at this season. SEEDS
should be carefully selected and Thoroughly
cleaned ready for use. Fertilizers are OF too great
Importance to be neglected In many cases 1t Is
of great value to provide a means OF supplying
green crops to pillow under later In the season TO
provide that most important element humus, to
create and unlock latent fertility.
very important item to consider Is In regard
to supplying extra feed to bridge over drougnts
and furnish the succulent feed essential to sue
cess in dairying and stock growing. Silage Is the
most favored means of doing this, and is consid.
cred the cheapest plan. 1t involves crop or

winnipeg, Dec. s.--As showing The
practicfbility Of organization among
farmers, it developed today that the
Grain Growers association, made UP
OF farmers in this section, has hand
led the marketing Of one-fourth of all
the grain produced by the prairie
provinces this fall. # IT,.
The association was organized to
bring the farmers into more prorni-
hence politically and to place the hand
ling Of all grain raised In the prov-
inces in the hands Of the grain grow
ers themselves.
The latter step was designed to dc
away with the profits enjoyed by the
middleman, and give the benefit to the
agriculturist who, in turn, Is pledged
to apply the additional money he re.
ceives to the betterment OF his home
life and the improvement OF the agri.
