ROAD
BUILDING
USE OF CONvICTS ON ROADS
Passed Through Period Of Hysterical
WrangIe Into One of Actually Sue
cessfuI Accomplishment.

THE use of convicts on the pubic
roads has passed through the period OF
hysterical wrangle into a period of
actually successful accomplishment
and almost universal acceptation, y
stated f. Stagg Within. whose new
course in practical penal problems at
Columbia university was recently an
nounce6.
Doctor Within holds that the under
lying motive in convict road building
must be to secure the great efficiency
for the state out of it's possessions.
But the convicts and the roads are
property of the state, and the work
ing of convicts upon the roads should
eliminate many elements of waste in
the administration of road and prison
departments.
"The efficiency OF the convict on the
road gang" he continued, differs
greatly in different gangs. There is
no doubt in my mind that the appli-
cation of the efficiency records in use
at the present time in the Wisconsin
road camps for free labor will tend
even more perceptibly to raise the eff
ficiency of convict labor.
Incentive must be created before
good work can be produced. Coop
any of us up in a stuffy, unsanitary
Jail for several months, arraign us for
trial amid the excitement of what we
misname as justice, and then take a
few months OF breaking our spirit in
prison surroundings and there is little
likelihood that the thing we call ginger
will be very apparent. There is def
mite need of building up IL the convict
is to return to society and make good.
THE great need" Doctor Within
concluded, lis for the foreman OF a
convict road gang to throw his shoul-
der to the task and inspire his gang
with the desire to be like him. The
problem lies in securing such men as
foreman of the road gangs"

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

So many rumors have been circu-
lated regarding war taxation In
Canada that the statement made by
Sir Thomas White, Canadian Minister
of Finance. OF the Governments 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-
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent, and the
profits of unincorporated firms or part.
nerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent. On all such excess profits
these companies or firms will have to
contribute one-quarter to the Govern
ment. Transportation companies,
banks, mining, milling, and other COM
panies will be subject to this taxation,
but life insurance companies, and COM
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies,
firms, or individuals engaged In agri-
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay no part Of this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro-
posed Is an increase of fifty cents
barrel in the customs duty on apples,
and one-half cent a gallon In customs
duty on certain kinds of oils.
It will be noticed that this taxation
ts being applied in such a way that 1t
does not affect farmers in the slight
est degree, except, perhaps, through
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. 1t will be 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 1t, and to encourage farm
ing and stockraising by exempting
farmers and stock-raisers from the tax
alton. This ought to set at rest every
rumor that the farmer or the farmers
land is being taxed to pay the cost Of
the war.-Advertisement

So, 900 Americans Died Last
Year From Bright's Disease
and Other Kidney Ailments

Sufferers from kidney disease are prone
TO imagine they have dyspepsia, heart
disease, nervous prostration and hundred
and one other Ills. Very often the Kid
neys are so weak and diseased that they
are unable TO remove the waste matter
from the body. The accumulation of this
matter in the system, slowly but surely
paves the way for Bright's Disease. To
afford relief you should begin at once the
use of Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Remedy. Many physicians consider it 70
treatment of kidney diseases. Its beneA!'
cial action assists in strengthening the kid
neys and liver so they may do their work
as nature intended. 40 years of success
should be sufficient evidence of its merit.
