Business Profits Taxed.

The feature Of the budget for the
current year was the tax on business
profits "above the average return to
capital in time of peace" This tax is
at the rate Of % per cent Of profits OF
companies and corporations in excess
Of per cent upon paid-up capital, and
% per cent on all profits Of firms, in
dividuals, partnerships and associations
engaged in any line of business above
10 per cent. Companies with capital
of less than $4,000, except those en-
gagged in the manufacture of war sup
plies, are exempt from this taxation,
as are also agricultural organizations
and insurance companies, the latter
being dealt with in a special way.
The first payment OF taxes under this
legislation is due on November of
this year, and the tax will continue TO
be collected until August 3, 1917. It
is applicable to foreign companies
doing business in Canada. Certain OBJ

BAD KEEPING QUALITY
Of CUBAN SUGARS

The deterioration of Cuban sugars in
storage, due to Dad conditions Of manu-
facturC, is one of the subjects eonsid
cred in the report of the New York Su
gar Trade Lal OrLtory. Inc. January II,
1915. The rel ort states, in part, that
in addition to its regular roueine worn
the Laboratory has also continued the
! investigation of several problems that
have an important b, airing upon the
chemistry of the raw sugars which il
exam mes. The changes in compost ion
Of testrve sugar saHi1 les during stOrag
Is one Of the most important of such
problems. U.s..
! Retests of duplicate samples showed
for Iel5, as for 1914, that abont 81 per
cent of the samples Of Cuban and West
Indian sugars suffered loss in polari.
cation during storage in the sample
ense. In several INSTANCES where 70.
tests were made within a month at re-
quests from Cuba, loss of o. degree
was noted from the previous test.
The marks of sugar which showed
bad keeping quality IN 1914 were sim
larly conspicuous in 1915, and the good
keeping marks of t9l4 showed the sam
characte ristics in 1915. The deteriora
tion of samples is not due, therefor, to
bad conditions in SAM .ng, as has been
suggested, hut to bad conditions of
manufacture.

PAPER AND RAGS VALUABLE.
Department of Commerce Calls Upon
Public TO Save Them.

Under the heading, Save Your
Paper and Rags" the Department of
Commerce (Washington) has issued
the following circular:
The attention of the Department of
Commerce is called, by the president
of large paper manufacturing COM
pany, to the fact that there Is a serl-
Gus shortage of raw material for the
manufacture Of paper, including rags
and old papers. He urges that the
department should make it known
that the collecting and saving Of rags
and old papers would greatly better
existing conditions for American
manufacturers.
Something like 5000 tons of diff
ferent kinds Of paper and paper
board are manufactured every day in
the United States and large proper
tion Of this, after it has served it's
purpose, could be used over again in
some class Of paper. A large part Of
1t, however, is either burned or other
wise wasted. This, Of course, has
to be replaced by new materials. In
the early history Of the paper indus
try publicity was given in the import
ance Of saving rags. 1t is Of scarcely
less Importance now. The Depart
ment Of Commerce is glad to bring
this matter to the attention of the
public in the hope that practical re-
suits may flow from it. A little at

NJ. Il. CAMPAIGN FOR $500, 1000.
Fund viii l}e Used to Aid WoffOlxl,
Lander and Columbia Colleges.

Columbia, June 1.-The education
al committee created by the ,Metho-
dist Conferences in South Carolina
will meet in Spartanburg tomorrow
afternoon at o'clock, to consider
plans for launching campaign to
raise an endowment fund Of $780,
600, one-half Of which will go to Wof-
ford College, $4,000 to Lander Col
lege, at Greenwood, and $4,000 to
Columbia College.
1t Is likely that a 80 or 6O-day
campaign will be decided on. The
committee is composed Of the presi-
dents Of the three colleges named,
the chairmen Of the boards Of trus-
tees, and the chairmen Of the educa-
tional committees-about 10 in all.
The idea, it Is stated, is to have the
presiding elders take charge of the
campaign in their districts and work
through the pastors Of the churches,
Of which there are some 400, and in
this way to carry the campaign into
every home.
