of Canada incurred an overall
deficit of SIS. 66s 900 in the fiscal
year 1889. Finance Minister
Charles Dunning told the house Of
commons Tuesday.
In his report on the governments
fiscal operations for the year. the
minister pointed out that Canada
had been obliged to resort to
'.pump-priming" to offset the gap
in private investment" but pledged
this public spending would be dis
continued as soon as feasible.
Dunning told the house the
1889 deficit "on ordinary ac-
count" ran to only $50, $50, 900. but
that possible losses arising from
the dominion's guarantee of basic
so-cent price for the western wheat
crop had resulted in further
arbitrary figure of SOS. 900. 000."
He estimated the Canadian
national debt on March 81
amounted 10 S3.157, 1884. 900.
The finance minister asserted
that Canadian business recently
has been aided by the speed up in
the United Kingdoms rearmament
program, as well as by the bene-
fetal effects of the Canadian
American trade treaty. and cited
trade statistics to show that
Canadian exports to the United
States 30 far this year are running

domestic commerce to investigate
South American and Latin Amer

States wood pulp and paper prod
ucts.
The survey. the commerce de-
partment said. is part of its aids
to business" program.
Since South American trees are
not suited particularly to the
manufacture of paper pulp, large
quantities of this commodity are
being imported from various
European sources. Hopkins said.
Recent installation of Is new
mills in southern states will add
100000 tons of kraft pulp to
the U. S. surplus at the end of

acute shortage of native timber

high rate of domestic consumption

preparations"
This situation has become so
acute 1t has forced European coun-
tries to focus their attention on
the need of careful analysis of
their forest resources and timber
Industries" the department said.

Chain Stcfe Tax Bill Out

Washington, d. C.-The Court of
Appeals, Kentucky's highest tribunal,
has declared invalid the 1884 state tax
on chain stores. The Court held that
"mere differences in details of con-
Quoting a business are not sufficient to
justify classification for the purpose
of taxation" Following on the hellS
of the Georgia Legislatures action in
defeating bill to impose high taxes
on chain stores, observers are Of the
opinion that these and similar cases
indicate growing realization of the
unreasonable, arbitrary and conllsca-
tory nature Of such legislation.

Ayes, through separation report
or other report from employer.
Q.-HOw are the funds so far col
lected invested?
Ask the Secretary of the U. S.
Treasury.
Q.-Do we have to pay contributions
on man hired by sub-contratcor for
casual employment unloading cars?
Is such man chargeable to our ac-
count?
Aft sub-contractor is himself a

fined by our act), all employees Of sub
contractor are employees of employer.
Q.-What would you do in a case
like this? An employe working in the
factory fails to follow instructions,
and we lay him off for failure to do
his duty. He comes back with his sep
aration slip and asks us to change it
from discharge to resign.
A.-The employer must exercise his
own judgment.
Q.-SuppOse we hire woman from
the OSES for our alteration depart
ment, and she proves inefficient and
we have to let her go after a weeks
work. Is she chargeablc to our ac-
count?
A.-She may be or may not be, de-
pending on whether she is eligible for
benefits.
Owe have two girls working
three days IA week. Are either one of
these girls in position to accumulate
a waiting period?
Ayes. 3x52-156 working days;
whether you divide by 6 or days, you
have 20 weeks Of employment in a
year. These employees employed in at
least 20 calender weeks in a 81 week
period, for days in any week, would
be covered.
Q.-HOw about the man who fails
to make good? DO we have to keep
him, and if VIC don't know, how will
that affect our fund?
A.-Employer has right to fire
anyone at any time. "Just cause" af-
