Interesting Messages From
Our Canadian Friends

but as soon as this knowledge was
obtained, action would be taken, he
said
Revision Under Way
Revision of the Canada tariff, SO
far as it affected all branches of agri-
culture, was under way at present he
said, and would provide for higher
protection contingent on the adop-
ton of the proposed tariff in the
United States.
Having but recently returned from
a convention Of cattle men, held at
Ell Paso, Tex, the minister said he
was surprised to learn that the dele
gates were unit in favoring a tariff
against Canadian goods. He was at
a loss to account for this, as next to
Great Britain, Canada was the best
customer the United States had.
Hon. DR.. Tolmie said that last year
Canada spent in the U. S. the stag
gering sum of one billion, two hun
dred and sixty million dollars, with
an adverse trade balance in favor Of
the United States of three hundred
and forty-four millions. 1t was OBJ
vlous, he said, that such an unfavor-
able trade balance should be ad-
justed and the speediest way to &C
complish that was to buy only those
goods that were made in Canada, he
said.

INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW

Frequent inquiries are received by
collectors of internal revenue from
storekeepers and other business men
as. to whether the taxpayer in bust
ness for himself may deduct from his
g1oss earnings an amount of salary
paid to himself. Wages or salary
drawn by a taxpayer from his own
business are more in the nature of a
charge out of profits than a charge
against profits. If deductible they
would merely be added to his income
and the effect would be to take
money out of one pocket and put it
in another. Therefore claims for
such deductions are not allowable.
Salaries paid to minor children
employed in the conduct of a tax
payers business are not allowable
deductions. If, however, son or
daughter has attained majority, or is
allowed free use of their earnings
without restriction, reasonable
amount paid as compensation for
their services may be claimed.
A farmer who employs a man to
assist in the operation of his farm
may deduct from gross income the
amount paid for such services. Like
wise, if he employs a woman whose
entire time is occupied in taking care
of the milk, cream, butter and churns
or if her services are devoted en-
tirely to the preparation and serving
of meals furnished farm laborers and
in caring for their rooms. the COM
pensation paid her is an allowable
deduction. If, however, she is en-
ployed solely in caring for the farm
er's own household no deduction can
be made.
In arriving at net income upon
which the tax is assessed, deductions
may be made for ordinary and neces-
sary business expenses. The revenue
act specifically prohibits the deduc-
ton of personal, family, or living ex-
penses. Such expenses include rent
for home, wages of servants, cost
Of food and clothing for the family,
Of children, and all items
with the maintenance,
well-being, and pleasure of the tax
payer and his family"

Bergdoll's Escape
to Be Probed by
House Committee

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-An in
vestigation by special congressional
committee that will sift to the bot
tom all circumstances surrounding
the escape and flight to Germany of
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll; million
aire Philadelphia draft dodger, was
recommended by a unanimous vote
of the house military affairs commit
tee today.
The committee also will clear up
the mysterious disappearance of D.
Clarence Gibboney, Bergdoll's lawyer
reported to have been drowned in
the Bay of Campeche, Mexico, De-
cember 20.
The military committee instructed
Chairman Kahn to ask for a special
rule to bring up for passage in the
house resolution authorizing an
inquiry. Mr.. Kahn expects to get
the resolution thru the latter part of
this week or early next week.
Evidence Sufficient
"The committee feels that enough
evidence has been developed to de-
mand a thoro inquiry" said the
chairman.
The big point in the investigation,
Chairman Kahn made plain, will be
the apparent laxity of the war de-
partment in taking precautions to
prevent Bergdoll's escape. The
question of undue political influence
used in securing his release from
Fort Jay prison will also loom large.
"The committee was impressed
more than anything else with the
laxity of precautions which should
have been taken in handling a man
like Bergdoll," declared Chairman
Kahn. Three times Major Rant,
commandant of Fort Jay was warned
that Bergdoll was dangerous man,
and would try to escape.
Even the two sergeants detailed
to guard him suggested that they be
permitted to handcuff him. But
Major Rant refused, he said Bergdoll
should not be made conspicuous. The
guards were told to carry out. their
orders quietly and then forget the
whole affair.""

And show to them that live therein
The riches they possess unknown.
With continents and islands new
With races rich and rare
This man returned-a conqueror
Uncrowned except by royal deeds
Proud Hercules Of Grecian tales
Performed six labors great;
The Pioneer faced all the gales
OF every sea; surveyed the wales
In every land. Each unknown state
Selected him,
Necessity elected him,
Posterity reflected him
And placed his fame
In gilded frame
On honor's walls
In histOry's immortal halls,
And babe us worship there.
This Is the cause;
The Pioneer American
Stood on our hills
That overlook our sagebrush plains;
fOresaw the waving fields of grain
Preheard the rattle and the shrek
OF all the engines commerce calls
20 move the mighty crops away.
He saw the CLEAN of golden bars,
And silver whittier than the stars
Tho hidden in the hills.
He saw the copper's lengthening line
That brings to home and mill and
mine
Electric light and power.
He was the man for every hour;
He held the key.
His wisdom blazed the western way;
Thru every darkness found the day
Upspringing near at hand.
Three kinds of men are never paid
They are the ones who firmly laid
For us the steady corner-stones
OF our great nation. Highest thrones
Told soldier, sailor, pioneer,
Who fight and die and seldom hear
The words of cheer
So very dear .
TO every ear
When most alone.
A few are left.
Give flowers now.
A word of cheer
Within the ear
Of hating, palsied Pioneer
Is rich as gold.
Give while you can,
And give it now.

TORONTO, Ont.-Declaring that
free trade would ruin Canada, and
intimating that it was not the Liberal
party of the federal government need
fear at the next Dominion election,
but the farmer party, Hon. Hugh
Guthrie, minister of militia and de-
Tense in the Meighen government at
Ottawa, addressed the South York
Conservatives at their annual meet
ing here Saturday. On the tariff
question Mr.. Guthrie said that under
no circumstances could Canada af-
ford to have free trade with the
United States. Canada as nation,
and Canadians as a people, would
become bankrupt under free trade,
he declared, and the next general
election would be fought out on the
question of protective tariff.
Mr.. Guthrie asserted that the
farmer party in the west was started
by American settlers and the organ
izers of the western farmers were
American sympathizers. He pro-
duced a catalog published by the
Western Grain Growers to sub
stantiate this charge. In this catalog
he said, were numerous lines of farm
implements listed as "U. G. G..
Omitted Grain Growers) goods" but
which were really American made.
The plows listed in the catalog Mr..
Guthries said, were made in Wiscon-
sin, harrows, cultivators, mowers.
etc., in Illinois; portable engines and
washing machines in Pontiac, Ills;
cream separators in Buffalo, N. Y,
and wagons in Iowa. I'm the lines of
goods which I have mentioned which
are called u. G G.. goods" Mr.. Guth-
RE said, F" there is not a Canadian
article cataloged."
Mr.. Guthrie declared that the
farmer party in western Canada was
not only a menace to the present gov
eminent at Ottawa, but also to the
future Of Canada.
HAMILTON, Ont.-Intimating that
that if the "Fordney tariff bill be-
comes operative in the United States,
the federal government will retaliate
in kind" DR.. S. F. Tolmie, Dominion
minister of agriculture, told men,
hers Of the agricultural section Of the
chamber of commerce here on Satur-
day that they need not worry as the
agricultural interests of Canada
would be adequately protected.
Tolmie said that the federal auth
critics, altho keenly interested,
would not announce any new fiscal
policy until they learned first the
tariff the United States would adopt

| The following letter ana press
comments from a former Idahoan In
Canada are interesting to Ameri'
cans in view of what we have been
saying of our business and political
conditions in the past few months
The letter is from w. D. Trego, who
was one of the Twenty thousand q
year" Americans who went over the
border to get land in Canada, and
now a Canadian politician is throw
/ ing it up to them. Here is the letter:
j l am inclosing you herewith two
clippings from our morning paper
which will give you some idea of how
our present government at Ottawa
are feeling toward the farmers or
ganization and toward the U. S. tariff
proposals.
l might say that we have been pay
ing duty of % per cent to q per
cent on U. S. farm machinery in
Canada ever since | have been here
and the Canadian made machinery
has always sold just as high as the
U. S. manufactured goods and yet we
are told that both our big Canadian
companies have been shipping GER
tain amount of their machinery
across to the New England state and
after paying duty of Is per cent to
get in there have been able to COM
pete with the U. S. goods.
Just after our last Dominion cleo
ton they put on great drive to get
every one in Canada to buy only
made in Canada goods, altho during
the election campaign the men who
were elected had been making the
plea that the duty on farm machin-
cry was only just what it must be to
provide the necessary revenue to pro-
vide means for meeting the running
expenses of the government and ap-
pealing to us to be good Canadians
and not to complain about helping to
pay the necessary revenue to run the
government.
When the "Made in Canada drive
was in full swing | wrote to Premier
Borden and to Sir William White,
then minister of finance and asked
each of them what we as farmers
should do in the purchase. of our
goods.
said, "Shall we buy U. S. made
farm machinery so that the duty will
be paid into the revenue of the gov
eminent to nelp pay the expenses
or buy the MADE in Canada goods,
so as to provide labor for Canadian
workmen.
They both evaded the issue and
said that was question each farmer
would have to decide for himself
The two Canadian companies have
become billionaires within the last
twenty-five years and our company
has taken the ground that as long
as we had to pay the duty we would
pay it where it would reach the
treasury of the Dominion govern
ment and not the treasures of the
Massey harris Co. or of the Cock
shot company.
| have not a piece of machinery on
my place that was made in Canada
and I,never will as long as they hold
us up for such exOrbitant duties.
The president and general man
ager of our company were born in
England and grew up in Canada, so
it is not only the American farmers
who are taking this view of the
matter.
They will sure wave the flag and
use the Loyalty" cry to the limit
from now on until the next election
Is over.
Weather still remains fine here, no
cold weather to speak of and only a
few inches of snow since about

THE PIONEER
BY j. D. GILLIAN


The task was done;
Creation finished bright and new
With dewdrops sparkled
AS the clean, crisp sun
Rose early and o'erlooked
Gods latest masterpiece
The widespread, empty world
In beauty digit,
And with its new-wed, regal pair,
The lord-like man and queenly mate,
Theirs was the privilege and right,
Meier deemed task,
To rule the breadth Of their survey.
"'Tis yours forever and q day;
Rule all things low;
Obey the voice on high"
Said God,
Who saw also that it was good
And so declared.
As yet one coupling link
The chain of progress must possess
Remained unforged.
God lid not overlook
Nor yet did he neglect;
His works are all preplanned.
To him 1t was not wise just then
To make the apex
OF the cumulative plan.
l say not "evolute" but make"
For Gods great agents are directly
made
And are not self evolved;
Inertia has nor feet nor wings.
Twas afterward he \ shaped the
Pioneer,
Nor yet of common earth;
But pay-dirt grained with cleaning
gold
He used;
Then sent him out to scenes unknown
To capture and bring back upscalped
Each continent and island rare,
All people new and bring to view
Their possibilities;
Peer deeply in and analyze
And know the length and breadth
OF soil and soul
