AMERICANS GROW
RICH IN CANADA
Testimony Proves FaIseness OF
Statements as to Onerous
Taxation and Conscriptiog.

"The attempt to check emigration
from the United States to our prairie
provinces by publishing alarming state
Iihents about the enormous war taxes
that are being paid here-$50O on a
quarter section ~yearly-about forcing
young men TO enlist for the war;;
about the cold, nc crops and any old
story that by their ~extravagant bold
ness might influence men and women
from venturing north to Canada, is real
;ly in the list of curios to our people.
Knowing the country, W e can hardly
take 1t seriously. Our governments,
however, dominion and provincial. are
taking steps to expose the false state
ments that are being made, and there
by keep the channel open for continu-
ing the stream of settlers that a
been flowing to us for the past decade.
We have thought to assist in this
work, and to do so purpose giving,
from time to time. actual experiences
of Americans who have come to
Saskatchewan during late years. We
give the statements of two farmers in
this issue as follows
STATEMENT OF M. p. TYSDAL

years. / came to Saskatchewan in the

Briercrest. / have farmed this land,

of wheat that yielded 40 bushels to

per bushel.

My taxes on each quarter section (160
acres) are about 1872 a year. This COW

STATEMENT OF STEVE SCHWEITz-
BERGER

Ing for so years. ! sold my land then
for over $500 an acre. / moved to

feet safety and no trouble in living up

/ have had splendid crops. Wheat

costs four times as much as it does

these foolish notions than there is for
the rumor that your bodies change

opinion. it is one OF the worst
farces that has ever been passed.

ample provision FOR all emergency
purposes and in 1914 s3SO,00O,-
600 of emergency currency vas
issued To hold off panic. 1t also
provided for retiring this curren-
cy after six months. BY increas-
ing the rate of interest the bank
must pay ] per cent / month un-
I'll 1t reached 10 per cent. which
would eventually retire the
amount Of emcrgcnrY currency
outstanding. No such provision
is contained In this bill. We are
now supplied with IL regional
barhs; each one costing about
100000 a year to maintGin, or
over $1,00O,00O year. During all
the years the Aldrich -Vreeland
bill was in force the entire cN-
Iense of every kind and character
