THEATRES SUFFER
 FROM THE WAR TAX
(New York World)

The slump in playgoing, which began when the government tax on theater tickets went into effect, continues.
 A reporter in the lobby of a first class theater saw the manager hand out fifty passes the other night Some of the recipients on learning they would have to pay a tax of twenty cents on each $2 admission walked away. One young woman asked for four passes. The manager compiled. Then he broke the bad news.
 Eighty cents please" he demanded.
 What do you mean?" asked the woman.
 When he explained it was for the war tax. she became flustered, searched her purse with an embarrassed air. then asked a man companion if he had eighty cents. He had.
 All the managers agree the worst thing about the tax is that people think the managers are pocketing the money. Opinions of managers differ as to how long the slump will last. Marc Klaw of Klaw & Erlanger said he wouldn't be surprised if more theaters were dark by January 1 than ever be- fore. Others think conditions will change as soon as the public under stands the tax goes to the government. The United Managers Protective As- sociation is fighting the slump by con- ducting a campaign of education to show how the tax is collected, and in- dividual managers are fighting it in their own way.
 The publication of story that man. agers were thinking of cutting salaries aroused much apprehension among the actors, but it was learned that such a practice is not likely to be generally l adopted for the present at least.

FARMS IN WESTERN CANADA MOTORIZED
 SAYS .ED. RUDOLPH

For the benefit of the wiseacres who would have the public believe that the passenger automobile is a non essen tial in these times of strife, Ed. Ru- dolph, distributor of Ford motor cars, points to an article in Motor West" of the experience of western Canada which has been at war now for more than three and a half years.
 Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta have given freely of the blood and money of their citizens. As the con- stant calls for more and more men fol- lowed one another, the labor shortage became acute. Horses were needed at the front and the few obtainable for farm and other work were quoted at prohibitive rates. A capable substitute for the lack of man and animal power was needed more than ever especially in view of the necessity for greater production in all branches of industry 10 kee pthe men at the front properly supplied. Not only was it necessary to fill the gaps caused by the constant drain upon the man-power of the na- tion, but the substitute must needs be of such a character that the business of the country could be speeded up to meet the extra demands made upon it.
 The farmers of Manitoba, Saskatch- evan and Alberta could find but one remedy-the motorization of their farms. Immediately the sales of pass enger cars and of motor trucks began 10 increase. In 1915 the gain over the previous year in Manitoba was 27 per cent; 1916's increase of 1915 was 3S per cent. and in 1917 the number of registrations advanced 46 per cent over the previous year. In Saskatche- wan the 1917 registrations were IA per cent over those of 1916. and the gain for the three provinces during the same period was more than 80 per cent
 The western Canadian farmers and business men bought these cars not as a luxury, but as a utility: it was more patriotic and more profitable to use passenger cars and motor trucks than 1t was to use horses. Greater produc- ton was needed and there were fewer able bodied men to do it. Motor ve- hicles supplied, and are supplying, the need.
