by means of scientific formulae that
have for their basis a capitalization of

the fact that the income tax act, APP
proved Sept. s. 1916, recognizes the
distinctive character of mining, oil

therefore, suggest an amendment to

with death. Kerensky. pos
sessing a rugged physique, finds that
the burdens he has been bearing tor
the LAST five months are making N
roads on his health. Recently he Is
quoted az saying:
~ have not long 20 live. Heredity

" must hasten the work OF %iiDeratins
Russia and do the greatest good i
can before depart. Peace now
would make US future vassals OF the
kaiser. which would be worse than
being vassals OF the Russian emperor"
Kerensky's death now or in the nea-
future would be n serious blow to
democracy In Russia. Throughout
the turbulent months which have fol-
lowed the overthrow Of %autocracy his
has been tn. commanding figure In
the new republic. He has ruled with
an iron hand and n managed to
keep the ship % state from being
dashed to dcstruction against the
rocks. No doubt with his removal
from the Russian situation some othei
man would rise up In due time 70

would happen there might h. a 'aps'
