For those ‘interested in perusing fiâ€". gures, th ei’ National Revenue Review drafts a chart showing how the spread between. the. $2,000 a.year folk and thetr more saiffluent $50,000 brothers, maybe sisters, is divided in respect to group numbers and contributions. But while the $2,000 and under‘‘ conâ€" stitute the largest groun of taxpayers, their contributions total only $987,387, or 2.96 ot the whole amount of $32,983,â€" d hy individuals for that periâ€" tal" of $11,055,666â€"or 33.13 per cent. of the whole amountâ€"was paid in by the 304 taxpayers witk incomes of $50,000 a‘yéar and over, indicating that although the small salaried person may feel the:pinch of income taxes most, the person who .really makes the wheels go round:in the upkeep of services to taxes go, is the one who pays on large income. â€" But Big Bulk of Income Tax Total Comes from the Larger Incomes. Who pays the bulk of the income taxesâ€"the computing of which is an annual headache to everyone concernâ€" ed? Small Incomes Hurt the Most of Taxation Of the approximately 200,000 indiâ€" viduals in Canada who paid income taxes for the fiscal year ending March 1936â€"the last available figuresâ€"89,724 persons, or 45.06 per cent. of the total come under the $2,000 income class, acâ€" cording to figures contained in the Naâ€" tional Revenue Review. The $10,000 to $15,000 a year group of whom there were 3,303 contributed $3,303,935; the $15,000 to $20,000 a year group of 1,290 personsâ€"$2,357,644; the $20,000 to $25,000 a year class: of 654 persons, $2,029,986. The smallest group of taxpayers was the $45,000 to $50,000 a year folk, of which there were 78, assessed $866,677. The smallest amount of taxes contribâ€" uted by any one group was the $767,668 paid by the 1,423 individuals in the $9,â€" 000 to $10,000 a year division. In the lower income groups there were 46,198 in the $2,000 to $3, 000 class; 26,804 in the $3,000 to $4,000; 12,766 between $4,000 and $5,000 and 6,579 beâ€" tween $5,000 and $6,000 a year; 4,267â€" $6,000 to $7,000; 2,816â€"$7,000 to $8,000; 1,898â€"$8,000 to $9,000, and 1,42%2 beâ€" tween $9,000 and $10,000. B 4 Collections by districts, of which there are nineteen in Canada, shows that Toronto contributed $33,535,220, or approximately oneâ€"third of the total. Montreal with $27,750,579 comes next. The ‘August number of the Bulletin of the.: .Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy contains an article that drives home in a forceful manner the value of chemical and cther forms of research to Canada. in a wodest selfâ€" effacing report the authors, R.

Kirkpatrick, describe a methâ€" od whereby pure suphur and sulphuric acid which is so widely used in orr chemical and pulp and paper indusâ€" tries are being recovered from the waste gsses at the great smelter at Trail, which were formerly régarded as a nulsante and a liability. Already more than 45 tons of sulphur, 99.5 per cent. pure and 450 tons of sulphuris acid are being produced every day.

In addition, Basil has been delivering Toronto Daily Stars to a large list of customers, showing that he has had time for busiy ness as well as study. James Clark, the winner of the Simpson $100 scholâ€" arship, with eight first and one second, has also followed business in addition to his studies. He has been working in the post office for 2% hours each day plus all day Saturday. The secret of the remarkable success of these two young men may be tracâ€" ed to their application to the affair at hand whatever it may be. When they were at work they devoted full attenâ€" tion to that and while at study they were equally keen and attentive. Daily study all through the fiveâ€"year High School course has produced the reâ€" markable results achieved. ‘boys have ‘been entered for further scholarships and would win these on the results, but as each young man is entering the Paculty of Science, and most of the scholarships are for Arts, their further chances are limited. The achievments of Basil Howse and James Clarke show what may be done by corsistent study. Unless pupiis study regularly and apply themselves to their work they can expect no sucâ€" cess. Brilliant results in school work, as in life, come from steady application andâ€"regular attention and thought. Louis Normandin, president of Shenâ€" ango Gold Mines, accompanied by T. Trevailleâ€"Williams, N.EME., eminent mining engineer, returned this week from an inspection visit to the property in Oba, Algoma district. Mr. Trevailleâ€" Williams made a careful inspection of the mill, and all work done on the proâ€" perty to date. He stated that he is imâ€" pressed with results. He, furthermore, stated that the mill circuit is loaded with gold, small nuggets, flakes and gold ‘dust is to be seen with the naked eye in the jig material. WJ C _ Adl pxc Jls 0M VCA AMAA. + _Mr. Trevailleâ€"Williams had shots put into the big mineral zone which has been traced across the property for length of 2'500 feet and had been proved by surface trenching and diamond drillâ€" ing for a true width of 80 feet. A large sample of ore showing no visible gold, cbtained â€"after the shot was fired, was assayed and gave return of better than $7 in gold per ton. He made special complimentary refâ€" erence to the high grade vein on which the shaft then had been put down to a depth of 40 feet. Practically every piece of ore taken from the shaft opening to its present depth contains coarse visible gcld and is being piled for mill treatâ€" ment. Following Mr.. Trevailleâ€"Williams‘ suggestion, the shaft will jbe enlarged to a threeâ€"compartment opening and the first level is being established at 50 feet where a drift will be run in two directions to determine additional length and width. On surface the vein had a width of some four inches while at the ‘present bottom of the shaft it had widened to around twenty: inches. Impressed with Results at Shenango Gold Mines Mr. Trevaille-Williams as well as beâ€" ing greatly impressed with the high grade veins believes that a major proâ€" duction will come from the 2600 by 80 foot wide mineral zone. In addition to the big ore body and high grade vein referred to above, Shenango has several other veins which have been explored on surface and also carry very. high gold values.

The force has been one below the full strength of seventeen. After the resignation â€"¢f Chief Paul, Detective Sergeant Gagnon was promoted to the positicn of Acting Chief.

Unless Onâ€" tario was pulling its weight there could never be a successful Canadian moveâ€" ment. This was the last of the Proâ€" vincial conventions, said General Ross, and the spirit of the Legion had never been so strong as it was at present. REvery convention was well attended and resolutions were not of a radical or disturbing nature. The prcblems of the Legion were dealt with in a sane conservative manner. General Ross thanked Mr. Neame and the members of the Timmins branch of the Legion for the memento. rank and file of the exâ€"service. men. As President of the Canadian Comâ€" mand of the Legion, he often disagreed with Major Powers on matters of policy and on the treatment of the Legion‘s problems but they still remained friends.
