CANADIAN OFFICIAL DENIES RE-
PORTED WAR TAX ON CANA
DIAN LANDS.

Persistent rumors have gained wide
publicity in the United States that the
Canadian government has levied a
special war tax on Canadian farm
lands.
In the Province of Alberta, Canada,
the provisional government has en-
acted a law that is known as the Wild
Lands tax, which is for the purpose
of making spectators develop their
holdings or sell to someone who will
either stock or cultivate same. All
lands which are being developed es-
cape this tax and on undeveloped
lands the tax is not excessive, being
one per cent of a low valuation, which
will average about $40 to SIG per quar-
ter section. No doubt some parties
are under the impression that this is
a war tax. The Wild Lands tax was
passed before the European war start
ed and has no connection whatever
with the war.
Quoting from letter just received
from Charles s. Hotchkiss, chief pub
licity commissioner, department of ag-
riculture, Edmonton, Alberta; it is very
evident that all rumors regarding a
war tax on Canadian lands are abso-
lutely without foundation:
Il beg to state that we are very
much surprised to hear that report
seems to have gained currency in some
parts of the United States that special
taxes are being levied on lands in AL
berta and Western Canada to raise
revenue for war purposes.
"Such report is absolutely untrue,
and has no founadtion whatever in
fact, nor is there likely to ever be any
such tax upon land in Canada. The
general prosperity of our farmers and
business institutions are such that we
are well able to take care of the extra
war expenses without any direct war
taxation. This has been we'll Illus
trated by the magnificent response to
the Dominion governments recent
bond issue, which was, as you are
doubtless aware, more than doubly
subscribed for within the first eight
hours after it was offered to the pub
lic
1.-THE local taxes upon lands in the
Province of Alberta will not average
more than from $40 to $25 per quar-
ter section of 100 acres in any dis
trict, and in many localities the tax
is considerably less than that amount
and, as you are aware, there are no
taxes whatever upon farmers build
ings, implements. livestock or personal
effects, all of which are entirely ex-
empt from taxation.
II have the honor to remain.

huge affairs, drawn by four, six

gency required, usually six and
never less than four horses. The
writer has seen eight horses hitch
ed to one wagon carrying probably
three tons of freight up the hill
above the big Hill Spring" II

Horses, mules and hogs were driven
ON foot in dr0ves from the Blue
Grass to South Carolina and the
states intervening. Passenger traf-
flc was effected by a line of stage
coaches promoted and sustained by
that veteran trio of stage coach
managers, Carey Hawkins, Dave
Irvine and William Pigg. The latter

since. But the reader will ask,
what has this story TO do with the
