CANADA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton Will Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
Unn0ticeable.

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 Government 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
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,
banks, mining, milling, and other CON-
panies will be subject to this taxation,
but life insurance companies, aud com
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies,
firms, or individuals engaged IN agri-
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay no part Of this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro-
posed is an Increase of fifty cents a
barrel in the customs duty on apples.
and one-half cent a gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds of oils.
It will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such way that it
does not affect farmers in the slight
est degree, except, perhaps, through a
small increase in cost of apples and
oil. The war revenue is to be paid out
of the profits Of the big firms and CON-
panies with capital Of over fifty thou
sand dollars, and even these are al
lowed seven per cent in some cases,
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
have been making big profits and are
able to pay it, and to encourage farm
ing and stocl1raising by exempting
farmers and stock-raisers from the tax
alton. This ought to set at rest every
rumor that the farmer or the farmers
land is being taxed to pay the cost Of
the Northumberland.

DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean. sweet
and fresh inside, and
are seldom i'll.

If you are accustomed to wake up
with a coated tongue, foul breath or
Q dull. dizzy headache; or; if your
meals sour and turn into gas and
acids, you have a real surprise await
ing you.
Tomorrow morning, Immediately up
on arising, drink a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonfui of limestone phos-
plate in it. This is intended to first
neutralize and then wash out Of your
stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet
Of intestines all the indigestibte waste,
poisons, sour bile and toxins. thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal.
Those subject to sick headaches,
baokache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form Of stomach trouble, are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from your druggist or
at the store and begin enjoying this
morning inside-bath It is said that
men and women who try this become
enthusiastic and keep it Up daily. It
is a splendid health measure for it is
more important to keep clean and pure
on the inside than on the outside, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb i'm
purities into the blood, causing dis
ease, while the bowel pores do.
The principle Of bathing inside Is
not new, as millions of people practice
1t. Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, SO hot
water and a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos-
| plate is an inexpensive white powder
| and almost tasteless.

Says U. S. Machine Guns Failed.

Ell Paso, Tex, March 10.-Failure
OF the machine guns to work at the
crucial time, when most needed at the
beginning of the fight between the
Villa bandits and the Thirteenth cav
airy at Columbus is the cause attribut-
ed for the escape of the Villa forces
across the border and also for the rel
atively small loss of life among them,
according to Private Thomas Barton
of the hospital corps who, with Pri-
vate E. M. Johnson, brought five
wounded and one officer to Ell Paso.

Raids on American Towns,

Raids of Mexicans on American towns
along the border have been numerous
during the last few years, but none
OF them has equalled the massacre at
Columbus, N. M, in scope of daring.
United States troops entered Mexico
as result Of attacks on Americans
by Mexican reyolutionists once before
but the leader of the extra territorial
expedition now is preparing to defend
himself before a court-martial.

LANSING NOTIFIES MINISTER or
CARRANZA THAT CHIEFTAIN
OF MEXICO MUST KEEP
HANDS OFF,"
STATE OF WAR VIRTUALLY
EXISTS, VIEW AT CAPITAL
News of Raid on New Mexico Town
Spreads Rapidly Over Washington
and Another Outburst in Con-
gress Is Anticipated-Inter-
vention Is Discussed.

Washington, March 11.-Washingto
is stirred by the startling develop
ments in the Mexican situation. Amer.
lean troops have crossed the border in
hot pursuit of Villa, With orders to
crush him, and Secretary Lansing has
notified Eiiseo Arrendondo, resident
minister here of Carranza, that the
recognized chieftain of Mexico, is to
keep his hands off.
This is virtual war, although the
constitutional provision which places
declarations OF war in the hands of
Congress is to be evaded by this war
fare on Villa and not on Mexico.
In spite of determined efforts to the
contrary, in spite of decisions to al
low the Mexican people to fight their
troubles out, a state of war exists
from now on and no man can tell
whittier it will lead.
The situation in Mexico will un-
doubtedly come up before Congress at
once, and in view of the fact that only
about $4,000 men are on the border,
the President may issue a call for vol
unteers.
Expects Outburst in Senate.
Washington, March II. - Secretary
Baker transmitted to the president
reports about the attack on Columbus,
N. NJ, as quickly as they were re-
ceived at the war department. 1t was
said at the White House that vigorous
items would ho ta1-op RI ,,,,p;el, 4l,o
bandits. The president directed Sec
rotary Baker to do every thing posi-
bic to protect Americans.
The news of the raid spread over
the capitol with startling effect. Sen
ator Stone, chairman of the foreign
relations committee, at once got into
communication with the state depart
ment and asked Senator Fall for a
conference.
Senator Stone said he expected the
affair might precipitate another out
burst in the senate, but that he pro-
posed to await official reports and Of
fetal action by executive departments
of the government.
THAT Means intervention"
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Dem
ocrat, said:
THAT means Intervention. I don't
see what else can be done.''
Senator Tillman declared the news
was almost Incredible There never
has been president who tried so
hard to keep out of war as President
Wilson, he said, "but if this is true
it looks as if General Funston would
have to get busy at once.''
After the president and Mr.. Baker
had discussed the reports briefly the
president decided that the new secre-
tary OF war should take office at once.
He signed Mr.. Bakers commission
and the new secretary went to his new
office to be sworn in.
Precedents for sending troops into
Mexico to pursue the bandits are
found in the state department ar
chives.
When Mexican Indians were pillag-
ing in Texas in 1871, the American
minister in Mexico City was instruct
ed to say it might become the duty of
the United States Eat least to weigh
the expediency of pursuing the hos
tile Indians into Mexico, without the
consent of that government, if it shall
not adopt measures to check the rob-
berries referred to-

4 Washington, March II. 49, Just
