war debt is approximately one billion
dollars. Probably never again will
the national budget be as small as it
was the year before war was declar-
ed.
But we have much to be cheerful
over. January l we will not have to
pay taxes on: freights, passenger
fares, medicines. toilet articles, etc.
hats, shoes, clothing, etc, parcel post
insurance, ice cream. soda fountain
taxes, musical instruments, sporting
goods, motion picture films. fur art
icles, eletric fans, etc, surety bonds.
And the taxes on the following have
been substantially reduced: carpets.
trunks. candy. pictures, etc. and ad-
missions.
Income Tax Changes
The exemption for married man
who earns not over $4,000 year has
been increased to 81 500. This item
removes tax of 4O.O00 900 from
this class of people.
The exemption allowed for each
minor child has been increased from
5000 to $400. This item relieves
such parents of the payment of about
$50, 900.
These exemptions go into effect at
once and will reflect in the taxes pay
able next year.
Take for instance a married man
with two children, making $4,000 a
year. He will pay no income tax
under the new law. There are said
to be 100000 such families in the
United States.
For such family the following
table shows the difference in the old

Walter Dalby of the seventh grade
wrote the following Christmas story.
Santa Claus
Some little boys and girls think
that there isn't any Santa Claus but
there is. He lives in the far away
North in a big house. Santa Claus
has store house where he makes
and keeps his toys.
Santa Claus is jolly old fellow
with short, stubby red, nose and
rosy cheeks. He wears red fur.
clothes trimmed in white that keeps
him very warm when he is out in the
cold.
Santa Claus has eight tiny REIN
deers that he drives on his trips. The
reindeers are very wonderful be-
cause they can run in the air as well
as ON the ground.
Santa Claus and Mrs. Santa Claus
stay in the far North all year long
making toys for good children. He
keeps book that he takes their
names down in, and if they are
naughty he brings them switches so
that their mammals can switch them.
If they are good be brings them lots
of toys and candy. Santa Claus likes
all of the good little children. Then

with toys and candy and starts out in
his big sleigh on his great Christmas
journey.
When he comes to house he
drives his reindeer upon the house
top and jumps down the chimney
with his big bag of toys and comes
out of the stove door.
Santa Claus is so fat that he can
hardly wobble down the chimney so
you'd better have pretty big one
because he might be stuck and then
you wouldn't get any toys.
Then he fills the stockings with
toys and candy and jumps in the
stove and up the chimney he goes. II
he find any little children sitting up
watching for him he goes ON and
then comes back when they go to bed.
So if you want plenty of toys and
candy you'd better mind your man.

There too many Canadian labor organizations from the United States. Canada has gently had humiliating experience along this line. An English orchestral conductor, engaged to come over with revue produced by Trans-Canada Theari- calls Ltd. notified that he would not be allowed to fill the job because the rules of the American Musicians Federation do not permit the members of that organization to play with member.
 In other words, a labor organization controlled from the United States has been able to prohibit a British conductor from conducting British orchestra in British country What, then, becomes of the Union Jack?
 An appeal to the union headquarters in New York for relaxation of the rule in behalf of Conductor Culrick met with refusal It is all very humil- iating In the present instance artist resident in one part of the British Empire has been barred from employment in another part of the Empire under the rules of organization controlled in the United lStates fsi &4
 The matter was promptly referred to Premier Meighen, who with his characteristic boldness took the bull right by the horns and cabled to London telling the English conductor to right over and the protection of the Canadian would be accorded him. It has been suggested that way may be found Ito bridge the difficulty in regarding to Conductor hCulrck by unonizing him in this country The case is one. however that cannot be disposed of in this manner with satisfaction to Britishers.
