Washington, July %. 49, Present de-
mands for the test and proof of ord

all the country east of the Mississippi
River, and the only site found TO meet
the irreducible requirements was Kent
Island, in the Chesapeake Bay, east Of
Annapolis, Md. This island possesses
to a marked degree the requisites
for a proving ground Of the type i'm
peratively needed, and every effort will
be made TO secure the needed funds
from Congress for the acquisition and
equipment of this island as a model

Canada to Levy
First Federal
Tax on incomes
Bill at Ottawa Fixes Scale
Graduated Up to
Is Per Cent

Ottawa, July 25.-Government pro-
posals for an income tax were adopted
by the House of Commons to-day. This
is the first time such tax has been ap-
piled to Canada federally.
Incomes of unmarried men above
$4,000 and incomes of married men
above $4,000 are taxed per cent. In
addition, there is provision for a super
tax, applicable TO both married and sim
gle, of per cent on income from $4,000
to $4,000, 5 per cent from $4,000 to
$4,000, s per cent from $4,000 70 $780,
900, 10 per cent from $4,000 TO $4,000,
IS per cent from $4,000 TO 100000, and
25 per cent from 100000 upward.
For corporations and joint stock COM
panies the income tax is per cent on
incomes above $4,000. The super-tax
does not apply to them. The tax will
be collected on the incomes of the year
1917 and thereafter.
Finance Minister White estimated
that he would get from sl5,000,000 10
S20,000,000 at least from the new meas
ure. The tax, he said, was heavier than
the income tax now in force in the
United States, but substantially less
than the income tax provided in the
bill before Congress.
How Tax Is Levied
The new Canadian tax would be col
lected on income or salary and invest
ments in stocks, bonds or anything else,
including salaries paid by the govern
ment to civil servants, members of Par
|, nj ,n,o 81 L.
Municipal and provincial taxes, as we'll
as contributions to the patriotic fund
and TO any war charity, would be de-
Quoted from income in making state
ments.
Incomes from shares in American
companies were liable for taxation less
the amount of the American income
taxation. American, British and for
eign corporations doing business in
Canada are taxed upon income from
Canadian business only; Canadian COM
panies carrying on business in the Do
minion and Throughout the world, are
taxed upon entire income.
AS TO the duration OF The measure.
the Finance Minister stated that the
Canadian war profits tax would expire
at the end of next December and would
not be renewed. For the income tax
he thought it should run until year
or two after the close of the war when
there should be general revision of
the Canadian system of taxation. The
income tax measure arose from need
of funds TO meet the heavy and in
creasing war expenditure Of Canada.
Canada's War Expenditures
"The total war expenditure in Can
ada to July 20 of this year was $685.
$4,000" it was stated, "and the total
Canadian war expenditure elsewhere
than in Canada, including the msinte-
nance Of troops in France from Sep
TENDER, 1916, to July 20, 1917, was
S234,OOO, 900, or a grand war total of
S623,OOO, OO0."
The Finance Minister stated that
from April | to July 20 the war ex-
penditure of Canada had been $39. 1927
900. Since war began Canada had Dor
rowed from Britain 317,000,000, but
repayments and advances TO Britain
left a balance of $4,000 900 due from
British TO Canada. e.
Comments from the Opposition side
of the House on the income tax were
generally favorable, and the resolution
authorizing the law was unanimously
adopted.
