NO CONSCR|PTIOh
IN CANADA
No War Tax on Land-Emharue
on Shipment of Live Stock
Removed

During the prevalence of the foot
and-mouth disease in some portions AZ
the United States. an embargo waA
placed upon interstate shipmenfA
This also had an effect upon shia-
ments to Canada. and necessarily an
embargo was placed upon them max
ing it almost impossible tor upwaras
of q year to ship cattle into Canaaz-r
from the United States. This was eA
pecially hard on the settler. As q ~
suit, Western Canada lost a number eE
settlers. they being unable to eakA
their live stock with them. Canada n
practically free from horse and cAtf1a
diseases, and the wish of the auth0xa-
ties is to keep it so.
Recently, though, an order has oee1
issued by the Department OF Agr1coE
ture. removing the embargo, and sas
tiers are now free to take in the nuzzr
Der of head of horses or cattle that ara,
permitted by the Customs aathorifiea
and the freight regulations. This wfa
be welcome news to those whose m
tention it is to move to Canada, taking
with them stock that they have had NJ
their possession for six months. aHs
which it is the intention to use on lana
that they will farm in the Provinces
of Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta
There are thousands of splezdaa
homesteads of 100 acres each in say
of these provinces, that may be h2o
upon the payment of a ten-dollar en-
try fee and fulfilling the requisite nv
| ing and cultivation duties. Fhese
lands are well adapted to the CROWNS
of all the small grains, and besade1s
having an abundance of grass. ana SUI
ficient shelter, they are well adapeeo
| to the raising of stock
If one prepares to purchase land
there could be no better time than tina
present. Prices are low. and pzrtfeH-
lars may be had from any OF the lana
companies, of which there are several
or from the Canadian Pacific and Ca
madam Northern railways, whose h0so-
ings are in the older settled distress
| and whose terms are exceedingly eesY
to the settler. What these lands WEE
do in the matter of production cann0e
be more strongly emphasized than IN
reading the reports of the cro71
throughout all parts of the Canadian
West in 1915. Yields of so. so. and as
high as 10 bushels of wheat to tbs
acre were numerous while reports df
yields of from SO TO IS busHeEs per
acre were common. Oats as high AZ
4 100 bushels per acre are reported. 50
and so bushels per acre being ord4-
nary The prices realized by farmers
have placed most of them on easy
street"
Lately there have appeared articles
in a number of United States news
papers to the effect that there was COR
scription in Canada, or that such q
law was likely to be put into effect
We have it from the highest authority
in the Dominion that there is no truth
In the statement. Sir Robert Borde1
at the opening of Canadian parliament
on January 17th, said:
I'm the first few months of the war
1 clearly stated that there would net
be conscription IN Canada 7 repeat
that statement today"
This statement should set at rest
: the conscription talk that has been 80
freely used to influence those who may
be considering settling in Canada dur.
ing the war.
1t has also been said that there WA
a war tax on land Hon. DR.. Roche,
, Minister of the Interior, over his own
: signature has denied this. and the pre-
: miers of the different provinces join
in saying "such report is absolutely
untrue, and has no foundation what
ever in fact, nor is there likely eFez
to be any such tax upon land II
Canada"
J The general prosperity OF Western
: Canada farmers and business instita
/, tions is such that Canada is wen able
: to take care of the extra war expenses
= without any direct war taxation This
) has been well illustrated by the mag
: nificent response to the Dominion Gov
ernment's recent bond issue, whict
: was more than doubly subscribed 70,
