CANADk'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton win Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
UnnoticeabIe.

So many rumors have been circu-
lated regarding war taxation in
Canada that the statement made by
Sir Thomas White. Canadian Minister
of Finance. of the Governments plans
for raising war revenue should be CIV
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made it clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits of incor-
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent. and the
profits of unincorporated firms or part.
nerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent. On all such excess profits
these companies or firms will have to
contribute one-quarter to the Govern
ment Transportation companies.

panies will be subject to this taxation.

panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies,

culture or stock raising, are exempt,

Ii will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied In such a way that 1t
does not affect farmers in the slight

small increase in cost of apples and

sand dollars, and even these are al

and ten per cent IN others. of clear
profits before they have to pay any
part of this taxation. 1t will be seen
that the whole policy is to place the
war expenditure taxation on those who

able to pay it, and to encourage farm

farmers and stockraisers from the tax

rumor that the farmer or the farmers

WANTS W|DOWERS
AID BILL ENACTED
Tappins Says Fathers Often In
able to Support Children.
MANY MOTHERS SEEK HELP
County Judges Decide Whether Appii-
eants Are Worthy of Receiving AS
sistanee-No Specifications as
How Aid Shall Be Given.

Madison.-"The mothers aid bill
overs, too. said Matthew j. Tappins,
secretary of the state board of control,
in discussing the bill. Il have known
of several cases where widowers have
been left with small children and have
been so disabled that they could not
support the children, the result beng
that the children had to be sent to the
state institution. This breaking up OF
the home is what we are trying to
avoid and the state program cannot be
bettered in any wiser way than by in
PRODUCING a widowers' aid BILL
Fifteen or twenty applications for
mothers aid come to the Office of the
board of control daily. according to
Mr.. Tappins. The state provides for
one-third of the applications and the
counties must furnish the other two
thirds. This the counties do. but they
charge the amount back to the viii
lagos. townships or cities, where aid
has been given The state furnished
$4,000 the first year and 100000 the
second, which probably allows max
imum of 100000.
1t lies within the power of the judges
to determine whether the mothers are
capable and trustworthy. Only relia-
BILE women will be aided, for it is the
desire of the state TO further the prog
ress of education and culture, which
can only be brought about by the
hands of worthy people Any widow
may apply and receive aid if she is
considered qualified to receive it.
Women whose husbands are in insane
asylums or prisons, or are incurable
invalids, are entitled to come under
these qualifications. However, the
amount appropriated to one family
cannot exceed $40 a month, and not
more than SIS month can be expend-
ed for one child.
There are no specifications as TO
how the aid shall be given. But most
always the money is handed over to
the mothers in cash and they are di-
rected as to how they can spend it in
the most beneficial manner for the
children.

Death Record is Broken.

A virulent type of pneumonia and
grippe contributed heavily to an unusu-
ally high death rate in Wisconsin dur
ing January, according to the monthly
mortality report by the state board Of
health The total number of deaths
was 1856. This is more than 1000 in
excess of December's record.
This mortality is the highest in the
state since the uniform registration
law was adopted in 1908, and is due
almost entirely. says the board, to the
unusual prevalence of pneumonia and
grippe followed by complications. The
death rate for the month was III per
1000 population, as compared With
1872 for December.

lime to Protect Trees.


Now is the time to prepare for
the control of scale insects while
trees and shrubs are dormant,
and strong spray materials may be
used, ]. G Sanders, state entomologlst
in the state department of agriculture,
said
The cottony maple scale has killed
thousands of soft maple shade trees
in southern Wisconsin, and the brown
oyster shell scale is a common pest on
apple trees and lilac bushes.
But the San Jose scale, originally
introduced from China. is feared be-
cause it multiplies with great rapidity
and attacks many different trees and
shrubs, causing serious injury and
early destruction. Outbreaks of this
scale pest were found by inspections
last fall in several cities, and a cam
paign for control will be started next
week. In Madison, Milwaukee, Racine
and Kenosha spraying with strong
lime-sulphur solution or with oily
washes will be required on infested
premises Due notice of required treat
ment will be given property owners,
as is required by law. Proper treat
ments must be applied before the foil
age appears.
The entomologist will gladly iden-
tify any specimens of scale insects or
other insect pests and advise remedies.

cimens to the state entomologist, state
