What Causes Taxation?

Canada has a net debt of $2,378,-
100000; a decrease of ST, 100000
for the year ending June 80. At
this rate of decrease, it would take
200 years to pay it all off. 1t has
been estimated that the United
States debt could be paid off inside
the next 20 years.
Canada has a government owned
railroad system and the widely adj
vertised governmentally owned On
tario Hydro-Electric System.
While government ownership and
operation of such properties IS not
responsible for all of Canada S
great debt, it is responsible for a
heavy drain on the taxpayer which
is not felt in the United States,
where private industry operates the
railroads and electric companies
and gives as good or better service
than that prevailing in Canada.
American private industry, cor
responding to the Canadian prop
critics mentioned pays to our gov
eminent millions Of dollars a year
in taxes, instead of being tax-ex-
empt as would be the case under
government ownership.

low generality the course laid out for
the non-combatant dirigible Los An

forced to curtail on account of engine

Secretary Wilbur said that the com.
mander Of the Shenandoah has been
given wide discretion in making points
on the trip, but that it was proba BILE
that this time she would go via Buff

$500 feet in order to clear the noun

Mr.. Wilbur indicated that the con.

problems of the Navy now, and that
the trip to Buffalo was made with this
idea in view, as after clearing the

valve helium in order to come down
again.
He also said that the moorine mast
at Detroit had been completed, accord.
