IMPROVEMENTS
ARE NOT TAXED
Western Canada Does Not Tax
Stock or improvements but
Collects an Additional Tax
From Land Spectators.

Owners of uncultivated lands IN
Western Canada are loud in their pro
tests against an extra tax ON their
lands because they are not under cui-
tivation Western Canada, through ITS
provincial governments, is endeaNor-
ing to force the speculative land owner
to either sell his land to II settler or to
cultivate ii himself. At present sur
tax of Il few cents an acre is Levied
against all wild land, so that the own
er of land held in its natural state
without improvements, is contributing
more taxes to the government than the
owner Of d farm that is cultivated and
even improved with buildings ana
stock to the value of thousands of dol
lars. In order to encourage the farm
er to improve and TO go into stock rails
ing, he is not charged one cent of taxes
on any of his improvements, imple-
ments or stock Of any kind.
AS result of tins SurtaX on un-
cultivated or speculatively held lands,
the owners are now trying to sell them
to actual settlers. and, in nearly every
instance, have been Offering on very
easy terms of payment, usually quar-
ter down, and the balance extending
over term of years at prices much
lower than their productive value
would warrant
A worldwide shortage in farm stuffs
has given a new value to all agricul-
tural products and the margin Of profit
today is greater than ever in the past.
II is true labor and implements have
increased in price, but ii is now pos
sible to secure 500 profit in farming
and higher. Possibly not on the 500
to 5000 an acre farm lands but on land
that can now, under existing cOndi-
tOnS. be purchased at from Sl5 TO $50
per acre. Western Canadian farm
lands are as productive as any in the
world and can be as economically
farmed. Wheat yields Of from 30 to
80 bushels per acre have been common
in Western Canada during the past
few years, and the farmers have been
too busy farming all they can so as TO
sell as much wheat as possible at $500

a buShel, that they have not had time
to do any talking or writing. 1t is
doubtful II there ever was such an
opportunity to make big profits I'm
farming The value of each years
crop has been in hundreds of cases
more than the market value of the
land ii was grown on. 1t Is un-
reasonable to suppose such con

being forced onto the market by sur
tax on speculative owners will soon
become absorbed by those who have
learned of these highly profitable
wheat lands. The news Is spreading
gradually throughout the high priced
land districts In the United States
where there is Il renewed awakening
to the realization that the maximum
profit In farming is not being obtained

forty to seventy per cent return on the

Most Admired Statue.

What is the most admired statue in
Washington? The memorial to Mrs.
Adams by Mr.. Saint Gaudens, thinks
Mr.. Moore. He says that "in spite OF
the remoteness of location and the diff
ficulty of finding IL In Rock Creek ceme-
terry, no other work of art In Washing
ton is really seen by so many people.
Undoubtedly the element Of mystery la
both figure and setting has TO do with
It's fame; but | prefer TO think that In
this memorial the sculptor has ex-
pressed (using his own words to me)
the soul face to face with the great
