Canadian Fox Industry.

Much money is involved in the Ca
madam fox industry. Since the open
ing of this season 219 live foxes of va
rious hues including silver gray, val
ued at 100000, have been shipped
from Edmonton to points in eastern
Canada and the United States for
breeding purposes. Included in this
lot were ten young black foxes which
were sold to New York firm for $780,
600. Many young foxes die soon after
capture Several black pups have died
after being sold for 81 500 to $4,000 A
western raw fur company which has
been supplying the eastern markets
with young live foxes announces that
it will discontinue the eastern ship
ments having decided to establish a
farm in western Alberta, where 40
foxes are already domiciled. A de-
crease of rs to 80 per cent has taken
place In the prices paid for these ami
mails, which is attributed to the large
number which have been supplied
from the northern country OF Alaska.
Yukon territory, and the northwest
territories. The supply has been plen-
tiful because the young foxes were
dug out OF their holes before they were
able to escape. In a short time the
young foxes will leave their dams and
it will then be impossible to catch
them otherwise than singly in traps.
and the prices will probably rise.

Washington.-The Democratic tariff
revision bill, first on the program of
reforms mapped out when President
wilson came into Office, advanced to
its last congressional stage when it
was brought back to the house from
the joint conference committee with
the unanimous Endorsement of the
Democratic conferees.
The measure, of course, has both its
friends and enemies. According to
the administration. it carries out
four of the party promises. Tariff re-
form, reduction in the high cost of
living, campaign against the trusts. in
that duties have been taken off of
many trust made article, and the in
come tax.
The measure, consequently, has
larger Importance than that of a mere
tariff reform bill, and It's effect must
be widespread, both on business and
industry, and also in connection with
politics. Democratic leaders are con-
fident that business will suffer no I'M
toward effect; that consumers will be
benefited.
Changes in the Rates.
The bill imposes an average ad
valorem rate of from 81 to 20 per
cent. The average for the present
Q Aldrich law is 4012 per cent. The
average for the Wilson-Gorman act
was 3945 per cent.
Duties generally have been reduced
on all OF the articles that enter into
the necessaries of life, including the
products OF the farm as well as manu-
featured products.
Trust made products in many cases
have been transferred to the free list
or the duties at present imposed have
been substantially reduced.
The income tax feature of the bill is
expected to net some SS3.000,000 1t
will call for a tax on net incomes of
unmarried persons of $4,000 and up
wards and on net incomes of married
persons living together. where the
wife or husband is dependent, o. ST.

not more than 20 cents a dozen pairs.
For stockings between 20 and $1.2O
a dozen pairs a duty of 40 per cent
was agreed upon.
The conferees eliminated the provi-
sion inserted by the senate denying
entry into the American market OF
goods manufactured by children under
IA years of age.
The final agreement provided that
any person employed to collect the in
come tax may be utilized by the sec
Rotary of the treasury in the general
service of the internal revenue bu-
reau.
Larger Customs Revenues.
The customs revenues will be larg-
er for the current year, 1884, Sena-
tor Simmons said. because the rates
of the Payne-Aldrich law have been
for the force quarter, and will con-
tinue In force on wool and wooden
goods until January 1, and on sugar
until March 1. When the next fiscal
year begins, July I, 1914, all the rates
of the new law will be in operation
and the tariff duties collected will be
smaller.
The income tax which is collected
for the calendar year can be collect
ed for only ten months of the present
year. as The law specified that collec-
ton shall not go back of March 1,
1913. The estimated decrease in the
total expenditures of the government
for 1914, $5,000,0O0, is based on the
fact that smaller expenditures are
expected for the army and navy est:
mates"
The balance of the total estimates,
as given in the treasury estimates, is
made up of postal receipts, internal
revenue receipts. the profits from pub
lie land sales, and other sources OF
federal income.
Agricultural Products and Provisions.
Cattle, sheep and other domestic an
finals suitable for use as food, wheat
and wheat products and eggs, have
been transferred to the free list Re
auctions have been made on oats, but
ter, beets, frozen eggs, peas, green
late and cocoa sweetened and extracts
of meats from the rates provided by
the house. The rates have been in
creased over those provided by the
house on broken rice, fish packed in
oil and ground spices. A rate of 20
per cent. ad valorem is placed on
ground spices in addition to the spe-
cific rate provided by the house on
unground. The senate receded from
the reduced rate placed on flaxseed
and its amendment placing duty on
bananas. The house classification on
lemons and other citrus fruits is &C
cepted.
Schedule II, Spirits, Wines and other
No changes of Importance are made
in this schedule. The rates on gin
ger ale and similar beverages are
slightly decreased on bottles contain
ing not more than one-half pint each.
The senate receded from its amend
ment placing an internal revenue tax
on grape brandy used in fortifying
sweet wines.
Papers and Books.
The house rates have been reduced
on common paper, box. boards, papers
partly covered with metal leaf or
gelatine and plain basic papers for
albumenizing for Photographic print
ing. The rates provided by the house
for surface-coated papers suitable for
covering boxes has been increased
from S5 to 40 per cent. The senate
amendments placing specific rates
graduated according to thickness and
size have been agreed TO with several
reductions in the rates provided. The

hington.-According to esti-
mates completed by the treasury ex-
perts, 425,0o0 American citizens must
keep such accurate account of their
incomes this year that they will be
able to report to the income tax col
lector next spring exactly how much
they owe the government under the
new income tax law.
So far as the taxable American is
concerned, the income tax law Is now
practically in force against him. While
the tariff law in which the law is en-
bodied will not be signed until next
week, the first returns do not have to
be made to the internal revenue col
lectors before March 1, 1914. But when
the returns are made they will COW
er the income of citizens from March
1, 1913, to December 81, and the first
payment Of tax will be for money re-
ceived during this period
Every single person (citizen o. for
eign resident) whose annual income
exceeds $4,000, and every married per
son with an income above $4,000 is
expected to report his or her re-
ceipts in detail to the government
agents March l of each year
To Produce $82,0oo,o 900.
The estimate completed indicates
that the income tax will produce $685.
298,000 from the 425,000 persons taxed.
To this will be added the $35,O00,000
or more produced by the present cor
poration tax, which Is continued as
part of the law.
President Wilson, the federal judges
of the Supreme court now holding Of
fee and employees "of a state or any
political subdivision thereof" are the
only persons specifically exempted
from the tax by the new law The
president and judges now in Office
were made exempt to escape any ques-
lions of the constitutionality of the
law, and their successors in office will
be compelled to pay the tax.
First Burden Is on Citizen.
The general public is expected to
give close study to the new law In
the next few months, as the first bur-
den of the tax payment rests with the
individual citizen, and his failure to
report his income is punishable by a
fine.
1t is admitted that when first re-
turns are made many taxable persons
probably will escape payments, but
with each year the governments lists
of persons with taxable incomes will
be made more nearly complete
Methods Of Collecting Tax
Two primary methods of collecting
the tax are contained in the law One
is that the individual return made by.
the citizen; the other the returns by
corporations and other employers who
pay their employees taxes "at the
source" Under the law as it will be
signed by President Wilson next week,
every large company employing labor
will be compelled TO report any regu-
lar salaries 1t pays in excess of ,the
$4,000 figures, and will pay the taxes
for Its employees and deduct the tax
from their pay envelopes.
This payment at the source" will
apply to salaries. rents. interests. roy
alties, partnership profits and some
other sources Of income, and persons
receiving such incomes must be pre-
pared to show that the money has
paid its tax at its source.

the taxpayer, the American business
