.CANADAS PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton Will Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
UnnoticeabIe.

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 evenu should be CIV
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made it clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits of incor.
pOrated companies whenever those
profits exceed eve 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.
but life insurance companies. and com
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies.
firms, or individuals engaged in asri.
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 a
barrel in the customs duty on apples.
and one.half cent a gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds Of oils.
1t will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such a way that 1t
does not affect farmers in the slight
est degree. except, perhaps, through a
small increase in COS OF apples and
oil. The war evenu 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 it, 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.

OIL PRESERVES COUNTY ROAD
Surface Rendered Impervious to Wa.
ter and Crown Is Almost Like
Asphalt-No Signs Of Wear.

The only road in Bcrks county,
Maryland, which Is strictly a county
road" is the stretch Of five miles be-
tween Douglasville and Yellow House.
BY this is meant that it is neither a
state nor township road. but is entire.
~ under the jurisdiction Of the county
authorities.
Recently the road was treated with
a coating of crude oil, and no one
doubts the wisdom of this action. The
road is now not only dust.proof, but
the surface has been rendered impervi.
Gus to water. The crown is almost
like asphalt. and there are no signs Of
wear or tear.
