Corporations Pay Taxes.

Corporations are beginning to pay
their taxes under the new corporation
tax act, which is a part of the Payne
tariff bill. The administration at first
estimated that this law would bring
the government about $25,000,000 an
nualIy Experts now say that it will
probably net the government $50, 0OO,-
900 year. The listing of corporations
the country over for taxation purposes
has developed the fact that hte Ken
sas-Oklahoma taxing district contains
more corporations than any other tax
ing district, except one, in the United
States. In other words, more corpor-
atoms have been organized under the
laws of Kansas and Oklahoma than
any other district, save one.

WORTHLESS FARMS.

American agriculture shows strange
contrast With the price of farm prod
ucts higher than ever before, farm
land has deprecated in value. and the
number OF abandoned farms steadily
Increases Figures gathered by the con-
servation commission are surprising
1t is shown that there are 10000
square miles of abandoned farms, chief
ly in New England, New York, the
southeast and the middle central states.
That is, there are in the United States
at present 10000, 900 acres of abandoned
farm landau area as large as the cul-
tivated part OF the Canadian north
west, Is times the size of Rhode Is
land, four times the size of Connect
cut, twice the size of Massachusetts,,
or half as large as Ohio. says Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. OF the many rea-
sons advanced to explain this deser-
ton of farms, two or three are espe-
cially worth noticing. Most impor-
tant of all, perhaps. is the wasteful sys-
tenn Of cultivation that has so long
prevailed in the United States. A
fertile soil has In countless cases been
exhausted by taking everything from
it and returning nothing to it. Add
to this the fact that there is a marked
trend of population from city to coun-
try, and that farm labor has become
so expensive as to leave little profit
from the work of Iaborer. and it is
little wonder that so many owners of
farms do not care to cultivate them.
