RESTRICTIONS ON
SUGAR IN CANADA
Consumption Is Limited to One and a
- Half Pounds a Month-Lower
4 Than Our Honor Ration.

MONTPELIER, Vt, Aug. 21.-Re-
ports that the Canadian government is
placing no restrictions on the use of sug-
az and that citizens of this country,
merely by crossing the border, may pur-
chase in large amounts, are emphatical-
". denied by the United States food
administration.
The Canada food board recently is
sued d statement calling for reduc-
tion OF Canadian sugar consumption to
one and one-half pounds per person per
menth-haf a pound below the 'shonor
l;ration' requested in this country by
the United States food administration
All regulations governing tho use OF
holding of sugar will be rigidly en-
forced, the Canada food board has de
clared 1t is taking strict measures to
prevent boarding, in most cases impos
| ing a Jail sentence as well as a heavy
| fine. Manufacturers are strictly cur
tailed in their use of sugar and .hbuse
holders are prohibited from purchasing
in quantities which would warrant con
sumption of more than the requested
| allowance
Citizens of this country would BIZ
running a serious risk If they attempted
to purchase sugar in Canada. Although
4 restrictions there are placed upon thu
purchaser rather than upon the retail
dealer. several penalties are provided
for attempted expectation to the Unit
4 ed States without an individual expor
license from the Canadian war trade
board, which viii grant export licenses
4 only in cases which meet with the ap
prevail of this government. Supplement
tary action along this line has beel
taken by the United States war trade
board, which has prohibited importation
without an individual import LICENSE
Persons attempting to bring sugar from
Canada to this country would be face
with the possibility of heavy fines ant
jail sentences should they be appre
hended by the customs authorities 0
either country.
In addition to restrictions upon tn
manufacturers and limitations upol
household use, the Canadian food au
thorities have ruled that no person shai
! use more than % pounds of sugar to 10
pounds of prepared fruit in the manu-
facture of canned fruits for sale. This
of course, does not apply to jams, jellie
or marnialade.

WARNING ISSUED
TO CORPORATIONS
Com. Roper Makes 1t Clear
That Attempts to Evade !
Taxes Will Fail
n
INEQUITIES IN
LAW ACKNOWLEDGED
Reorganizations Planned on Lines of
Dodging to Prove Abortive-Impor-
tant Changes Expected in Revenue
Measure Before Congress.

w WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Warning
to corporations that they should not in
crease their capital stock in an effort
to reduce their taxes under the excess
profits provisions of the present law
has been issued by Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue Roper. Expense of re-
organization to escape taxes, he said,
would be money wasted
The commissioner confessed to some
inequities in the present law between
various classes of business, but stated
that these inequities would be fully
guarded against in the bill now before
congress. The commissioner said:
cit has come to the attention of the
bureau of internal revenue that cor
porations in different parts of the eoun-
try are being advised to increase their
capital stock to cover surplus and I'M
divided profits. Corporations which act
on advice of this kind in the belief
| that they can thus place themselves
in more favorable position with re-
spect to the excess profits tax will in
| eur needless expense without securing
any advantage whatever in the matter
| of taxation.
| 1t should be borne in mind that the
present excess profits tax is based upon
the returns from capital actually in
vested in the business, in the determi-
nation of which surplus and undivided
profits are included An increase in
capital stock to cover. these items does
not result in an increased invested CAPT
/ al and therefore will not change the
status of the corporation with respect
10 the excess profits tax. 1t. is alsC

BREWERY VALUES
FALL IN MILWAUKEE
Present Said to Be Favorable Time for
Quitting Industry-Profitable
Use for Plants.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. PA fur
'ther considerable reduction in the con-
sumption of beer in Milwaukee is expected
as a result of the advance in price To ten
cents a glass The brewing industry here
is shaken to its foundations because of
the changes that have come about since
the war started One striking feature is
the recognized reduction in the value of
brewery property. Three Of the big brew
cries have been given reductions in their
tax assessments on buildings and machrin-
cry The Pabst assessment was cut Sl37.-
600. the Blatz $40, 100 and the Schlitz
$40 900. The last named has applied for
a further reduction of sl,722, 900 on the
ground of prospective shrinkage in bust
| ness due to the orders of the fuel admin
istration and other war regulations
W. Fl. Austin, counsel for the brew
| ers of Milwaukee, declares that the CAPT
tai affected if the breweries are thrown
out of business by prohibition or wal
regulations amounts to sl00,000,OO0 About
| 6,0O0 men are employed in the Milwaukee
| hreweries and about 1900 men in the sa
looms of Milwaukee county. Despite this
it is recognized, even by some of thu
stoutest advocates of the breweries, that
/ If they are to be closed eventually, now
is the most advantageous time. The brew
cry owners could probably find profitable
uses fer their breweries now, better thar
in times when there is less demand fol
manufacturing. The men can find employ
ment without question. Manager Lippar
of the public employment Office states
that he can place most of the men insid,
a month The bulk of them could be alb
sorbed by the factories of Milwaukee.

to the conclusion that the breweries o

industries here, could be closed witt

The people of Alaska must remember that while Wickersham and Strong and the whole gang of per sonal politicians in Alaska making a vlainous post at Washington, working long hours, fighting to get selfgovenment for the people of Alaska serving the Territory and her people in of ways every day of the week, watching the whole gamut of the Washington game for chance to do something for Alaska and AaskaDs and making friends for his home people among those in high places He is working for Alaska Delegate from this Territory worked before. He is striving raise Alaska issues out of the muck and slime of personal politics He is endeavoring to make Alaska sefgoverning self. respecting American commonwealth. He is doing all within his power to give the people of Alaska an opportunity to make their government what they will
 And this is why he is being attacked If the people of Alaska could have the chance to settle their own problems, if the fisheries and other versies could be brought from Washington to Alaska Wickersham would lose his issues If the people of Alaska could be induced to look above and beyond front them there would be malcontents and troube-makers would be placed guard
 As leader Mr. Sulzer is constructive and he 11 earnest, capable and clean. He is working fo, the advancement of Alaska along large lines and alons the lines of democracy and Amercanism. He is too busy in this work to pay attention little things Ht Is too busy serving Alaska to give attention to his campaign for re-nominaon If the people of the Ter ritory want him to continue the work that he ha begun so well and advanced with such signal success they must to it that he receives the nomination in the Democratic primaries this month.

TELLS EXPERIENCE CRAWLING THROUGH
 NO MANS LAND

CAMP KEARN, San Diego, Calif., April 5.-How it feels to crawl through No Mans Land" in the dark, wearing a gas mask, and search for wounded comrades, was experienced few days ago by the sanitary detachment of the 145th (Utahl field artillery
 A detachment of the men were ordered out for this work, in a supposedly gas-infested area, to res cue a number of their comrades who had been placed in the area and tagged with various supposi- tion wounds. These ranged from spraired ankles to fractured skulls and each wounded man was re- quired to be treated, in transporta- tion, exactly as though his wound had been real.
 In an hours time the sanitary detachment located and rescued all but one of the wounded" The missing man, who had wormed his way out of the designated area as d joke, was allowed to "die' as re- ward for his prank, as the sani- tary detachment abandoned him.

!, A WIDE DIFFERENCE

The Empire raises the distressed squeal that
 the Republicans, disguised Wickersham1tes,
 threatened to enter the primary and support
 William Maloney. Just trife over a year ago
 the Empire goated with glee the open
 support given the Democratic candidate Sulzer
 by certain Republicans at the November cleo
 ton.
 Now that the dose is being adminis-
 tered the machine end of the Democratic party
 it comes with little grace from the Empire to
 yell "bus '- (Dispatch)
 There is absolutely analogy between the in stances referred by the Dispatch. It is not only the right but the duty of any citizen to vote for the man office whom he thinks most worthy and best qualified to give service in the position fires pective of political parties. It is quite another mat ter to go a primary of opposing party and try to "rig' things that your real candidate might easily defeat that party There is lot of difference between a voter of any party going to the polls on election day and voting citizen his convictions on the one hand, and the other hand, a Wicker sham man going a primary of Democrats for the purpose of helping to fix things so that Wlckershan would have an easy victory. The first instance is that of an honest doing his plain duty The other is that of a crooked politician playing crook ed' politics.

MILITARY DONTS AND WHY'S FOR WOMEN.

Don't accuse the stay-at-homes of base motives. Many of them are more eager to be abroad than some that are there. The success of the men in France depends on the ener- gy of the men at home. For ev- cry man in trench a great many men are needed in the rear, or the fighting line will fail of ammuni- tion, food, supplies, funds, equip ment, and endorsements.
 Don't forget that cynicism and sarcasm are the cheapest things on earth, but may prove deadly in their result
 Don't forget that it is treason to give aid and comfort to the enemy Nothing comforts the enemy more than the feeling that the war is un- popular at home and that the peo- pie are against it.

THE EIGHT-HOUR QUESTION

There is no good for a quarrel between parties or factions in Alaska of the eight hour day. The people of the Territory are unequvi- cally committed the principle eight hours shall constitute days work in Alaska The only differ ences that have obtained details and we be. leve the differences not great that respect as between the real workngmen and the employers The Empire under it's present management has always observed the eighhour day Where have worked more than eight hours day for it they have been paid for the extra work
 The Empire has felt that the inhibitions against overtime in the present law too drastic In 8 country that is far away from centers where extra men be secured to take care of rush of work the only way that the output of a concern that de. pends upon skilled workmen can make it's production elastic is to permit work overtime in cases of emergency. It would not be in the interest of workmen for printing establishments machine shops other institutions requiring skilled workmen to have enough men of particular craft on it's pay rolls to care for work in of unusual rush Otherwise when the work be performed was below the maximum it would be necessary for all the men employed to lose time and that would be a hardship those depending upon their wages for support The Empire believes that the time has not arrived in Alaska for prohibiting skilled working lover time" for extra when it would be the interest of both employer and employee for them to do SO
 In of the States where they have passed laws limiting the overtime" that men may work the limit applies to the week rather than the day Under the present law in Alaska men permitted to work eight hours day for days a week It would fit the situation better make the week the unit and prohibit than 56 hours work in any one week. That would make it that there would have be a short day for every long day It would not add to the number of hours could work in a week, and it would permit the taking of tenn porary rush of work in of necessity.

NOT MUCH OF A MAN!

(New York Times.) He may be as rich as a millionaire, Or a scion of noble name; No sage with his wisdom may com

 He may shine in the blaze of

 in sight That our humble eyes can scan, But if his heart is not in our fight He isn't much of a man. He may be as square as the day is
 long
 And just in his every deal. He may seek the right and eschew
 the wrong And to gods of all ages kneel. He may be saint in his holy ways. Soul pure since his life began, But if out of his country's war he
 stays,
 He isn't much of a man. A HldH Hdy De true to ms cn1lQ ana

 best,
 He isn't much of man.
