.CANAOA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax.
alton Win Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
Unnoticeable.

So many runors have been circu-
lated regarding war taxation In
Canada ths, the statement made by
Sir II -ss White. Canadian Minister
Ct Finance, Of the Goyernment's plans
for raising war revenue should be CIV
en the widest circulation Sir Thomas
made Il clear that the revenue Will be
raised BY taxing the profits Of incor.
po-ziet companies vhsneyer those
profits exceed seven per cent. and the
profits o. unincorporated firms or part
rerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent On all such excess profits
these companies or firms will have 20
contribute one-quarter TO the Govern
rent Transportation companies.
banks. mining. milling. and other com.
pznies will be subject to this taxation.
bat life insurance companies, and com
pznies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization. and companies,
firms. or individuals engaged in aori-
culture o. stock raising. are exempt,
and gay 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-hzlt cent a gallon In customs
duty on certain kinds OF oils.
Il will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such way that IL
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 com
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. II will Re 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 s'ockraising by exempting
farmers and stockraisers from the tax
alton. This ought to set at rest every
rur,or that the farmer or the farmers

LABEL CLAUSE
OF FEDERAL DRUG ACT
Supreme Court Holds Contents of
Packages Must Be Set Forth
Truthfully.

The Sherley amendment of 1902 to the
federal pure food law, declaring drugs
to be misbranded if the package or
label bears or contains false and
fraudulent statements regarding the
curative or therapeutic effects thereof.
was upheld as constitutional today by
the Supreme Court of the United States.
The amendment aimed at the sale Of
falsely labelled nostrums, and was en-
acted by Congress after President Taft
had asked for the amendment in view
of the decision by the Supreme Court
that the original pure food law did
not cover the false labelling or de-
scription of worthless drugs by un-
scrupulous persons
The medicine manufacturer who
brought the case to the Supreme Court
to have the amendment declared un-
constitutional also urged that the pro-
hibition against m~isbranding applied
only to the label and not to printed
matter inside the cover. Justice Hughes
in announcing the courts decision held
thai the language of the amendment
was too plain to give a basis for such
an Interpretation. Congress deliberate
1y was aiming at statements within the
package" said the justice.

At 1880 o'clock sharp the function

ters his own office. where he remains
until the days work has been dis
posed of. The days schedule of en-

Another Picture Painted.
American Imagination has painted a
different picture. The people of the

cial and see him finally seated at the
head of a great system. They see a
banker go up, and up. until he has at
tanned the highest pinnacle in the
financial world. They witness the
growth of a small manufacturer into a
great one. They watch the inventor In
his small beginnings and later applaud
hi; world startling creations. They
know that was all won by long and
wear hours of toll.
But to be forced to admit that the
President of the United States has to
labor just as long and just as diligently
and effectively as the great men OF
business is entirely another concep-
ton.
Rather would they paint upon the
mental canvas a picture of their CHIEF
executive. a polished. suave and gra-
ciou gentleman mingling with the
holding vital conferences with the
country's statesmen in the same for
NAL. dignfied way that artists have
conceived. Rather would they asso-
ciate him with the social life of a great
capital. with elegant receptions and
state dinners in the White House. They
love to think of him standing before
great multitudes as the oracle of the
nation, giving to the world gems of
wisdom as to governmental problems
and popular issues. They strive to
learn everything of the man, his pleas
