.CANADA'S S PLANS
FOR WAR REVEkUE
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 Government y plans
Tor raising war revenue should be CIV
EN- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made II clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the prohts 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 proiits
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
panles with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization. and companies,
firms, or individuals engaged in asrl
culture or stock raising. are exempt,
and pay no part of thls 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.
II will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such way that II
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 tiity thou
sand dollars. and even these are al
lowed seven per cent in some cases.
and ten per cent n others. OF clear
profits before they have tc pay any
part OF this taxation. II will be seen
that the whole policy is TO place tho
war expenditure taxation on those who
nave been making big profits and are
able to pay II. and Ia. encourage farm
Ing and stockraising by exemptinR
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.

One early morning not long ago

He found wonderful relief In that.
He had lived with secret chamber

and on the third day arose to ascend

he had once set forth, to believe in the
biblical account of the creation OF the
world as to believe In pre-existent
chaos, out OF which evoluted the spirit
OF life, and all Its marvels OF growing
trees and flying birds and reasoning

further, and add the son to the father
and to the holy ghost! Even chaos
must have been created!
Fully satisfied, Rev. Smith Boyd

TOO MUCH COTTON.

We are led to believe that the far
mers of this county are preparing
to plant too much cotton. 1t is
said that in some quarters the gar
dens are being prepared for cotton.
We trust this is not true. The far
mers of Abbeville county are better
off than they have been in years,
largely owing to the fact that last
year they planted other crops than
Gotten, and kept out of debt for fer
tilizers. The result is that they
have large amount of supplies with
which to make the present crop,
and are thus enabled to make it
without the expenditure of so much
money, and the consequent incurring
of heavy debts.
Profting by their experience last
year it would seem that they should
be cautious about too much cotton.
A large crop and small price this
fall will prove very hurtful to the
whole country.
