new TAXES NIT A.
CANADIAN OIL MEN

Present shipments OF crude from
Montana into Canada will not be
affected by the 10 per cent tax on
non-empire products, according 10
Kelvin producers who are shipping
only a few hundred barrels per
month into Canada. New war
measures will increase the cost OF
doing business in Canada and may
compel price increases. which the
10 per cent tax is Intended to off
set.
While provision is made for in
creased levies under the Excess
Profits Tax Act, the government Is
adopting for the gold-mining and
oiI-producing industries a different
basis OF adjusting base of standard
profits. taking into account the
risks involved In exploratory and
development work before produc-
ton commences. The basis OF
computation will not be capital
employed but number OF units OF
output: and lin the case OF new
development, standard profits viii
be calculated by multiplying the
number OF units OF output In the
taxable year by the average price
of he product during the base
period" All such companies will,
however, pay in excess profits tax
and corporate income tax combined
minimum of 80 per cent of the
total profits.
It is estimated that the new 10
per cent tax on Empire pro-
duets will involve a slight increase,
possibly 2Ia to 3 y per cent, in the
ultimate price OF imported pet
roleum products.
The appointment of G. r. Cott-
relle OF Toronto. as federal oil
controller. is believed to fore
shadow measures for the more ex-
tensive utilization of Turner Valley
crude. It is anticipated that the
10 per cent tax will enable the |
Alberta product to displace i'm
ported crudes and gasolnes from
eastern Canada on the Winnipeg |
and facilitate the market
ing of the Alberta products as far
east as the Rainy River district in |
northern Ontario and as far west as |
the Okanagan district in British |
Columbia.
II is anticipated that marketing |
In eastern Canada will be facilitated |
by lower railroad freight rates |
rather than by the construction of |
a pipe line. especially since the |
latter project would involve con-
siderable delay.

The Federal Power Commission
ruled it has no Jurisdiction over
bona fide producers and gatherers
of natural gas not otherwise engag-
ed in interstate distribution.
This decision is considered very
important to the oil industry,
which must produce some gas and
deliver it to pipe lines which may
ultimately distribute it interstate.
Had the commission asserted jur-
isdiction it would have snarled all
such producers in the red tape Of

TECHNO o. OGlSTS
ARGUE ABOUT OIL
FINDING MEANS

One of the moot questions in the
petroleum industry's production
branch is What 'oiogy has discov-
cred the most oil fields?"
The question tends to border mp
on the academic, for the industry
utilities most OF the 'ologies in ex-
is some controversy between the
psychologists, the biologists, the
geophysicists, etc, the scientific
abilities of each contribute to the
continued discovery of new and
greater petroleum reserves in this
country.
Upwards of $3.50, 900 a year is
spent by the industry in CalifOr-
mia alone to maintain micrOpaleon-
biological laboratories wherein more
than 100000 specimens of small
fossils are examined yearly. These
studies permit of accuracy in cor
relating data on underground
structures. aid in determining
where and how deep to drill for
oil. Examination of the fossils and
microfossils also facilitates intelli-
gent oh-field development, and
sometimes prevents premature a
abandonment of exploitation in new
areas which seem to be unpromis-
ing.
Trends now are toward training
the economic paleontologist, in ge-
Ology mineralogy, and general in
vertebrate paleontolgy. 1t is be-
neved that his services will con-
tinue to promote the work of the
petroleum industry's production
branch, and also that his progress
in a special field of science will con-
tribute both to science in general
and to progress in other industries.

HIGHWAYS
ARE NOT j. s.
SUBSIDIZED

Feeling the pressure OF truck and
automobile competition. railroads
of the country raised a fund
by assessment to investigate their
belief that highways OF the nation
were being built with government
funds to compete with the rail-
roads: that highway transportation
and other transport competitors
were heavily subsidized Joseph B.
Eastman. chairman OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission, made an ex-
haustive study of the subject. only
to find that highways and pipelines
were the only ones which are NOT
subsidized
Following is a brief summary OF
the findings in the Eastman report:
Highway users pay more than
their fair share of road and street
costs.
Overpayments of motorists. be-
ginning in 1927. reached the huge
total of 900 ten years
later
In a comparable year:

The general public. because OF
benefits received, is responsible
for a major share OF county and
local roads and street costs and
for a minor share OF main high
way costs.
Highway users are responsible
for SO per cent of main highway
costs. (These main highways carry
substantially all of the competitive
traffic)
Diversion of motor vehicle user
tax revenues is causing neglect of
necessary highway work.
The state should retain RESPONSE
bility for the expenditure of state
highway funds shared with local
Highway transportation is handi-
capped by costly restrictions.
Highway transportation saves

nually.
Weather and other natural forces

costs and therefore assignment of |
that percentage of these costs
should be based on miles driven |
rather than on character of motor

Christmas Card Was Invented
By Man With Many Friends

CHRISTMAS cards are almost as
~ much a part of Christmas as
Santa Claus himself, yet they have
been in use less than century.
According to most records, the
first Christmas card was designed
in 1916 by Mr.. j. c. Horsley, a
prominent member of the Royal
academy of London. It was pro-
duced at the request of Sir Henry
Cole, a popular man with many
friends.
Sir Cole wondered how he could
express his personal Christmas
greeting to thousand friends
spread throughout England. After
dismissing the thought of visiting
each personally, or giving presents,
he decided to send them each a
card by mail.
One thousand hand colored cards
were prepared with picture show
ing a jolly family seated at a huge

La Befana, Penitent Old Woman,
Brings Christmas Gifts in Italy

when several men dressed like kings
stopped in front of her cottage. They
asked her where Bethlehem was,
but she had never heard of it.
The men told her about a baby
which had been born in Bethlehem,
and mentioned a star which had
been guiding them. The old lady
wished she could accompany them
when they left her in search of the
infant Jesus.
But La Befana stayed home. 1t
was getting too dark out, and be-
sides, the baby could wait until
tomorrow. Later that night she no
ticed the sky quivering with light.
The clouds seemed to take the form
of angels. All thought of sleep left
her. Rising, she carefully wrapped
two gifts for the Holy Baby, then
ran out into the night in the direc-
ton the kings had gone.
Fast as she hurried, she had not
reached Bethlehem when the star
disappeared and dawn filed the
sky. She frantically asked the way
to Bethlehem, but no one could tell
her.
And so La Befana has constantly
travelled since that day, searching
for the Christ Child. On the Epiph-
any, IL days after Christmas, she
goes from house to house, looking
into the faces of babies. With each
she leaves a gift, hoping that at last
she will give her presents to the
right child.

family was looking into Drumming
glass which he held in his hand.
When these cards were distribut-
ed, they raised Juror among tenn
perance proponents throughout the
country. The disturbance focused
nationwide attention on the new
greeting card.
It was not until several years lat
err, however, that the first litho-
graphed Christmas card made its
appearance. Originality was almost
completely lacking. The greeting
was invariably "a Merry Christ

with the season, but contained pic

America soon adopted the British

born.
