Objection was made in recent issues of The Advance to the methods adoptâ€" ed in recruiting for the Active Force of Canada.

This week the local militia officers received a telegram from Col. J. B. Stewart, of Toronto, O.C., of the Algonquin Regiâ€" ment, saying that all recruiting parties had been recalled by headquarters. A number of Toronto regiments had been calling for men from the North, thus depleting the ranks of the local miliâ€" tia units without allowing any place for cfficers, Evidently the injustice and inadvisability of this is now recogâ€" nized. The withdraewal of the reâ€" cruiting parties is taken to suggest that this is a preliminary to placing reczruiting whereit ou ht to be â€" in the hands of the local militia officers. A statement in the House at Ottawa by Defence Minister Ian Mackenzie seems to support this viewpoint.. Hon. Mr. Mackenzie said that it was felt that the best possible results for the mobilization of the nonâ€"permanent acâ€" tive militia can only be obtained by working through the various military district organizations. Many Visitors at Meeting of Legion at ITroquois Falls President Wal‘ter Greaves, of Timâ€" mins, gave some particulars of Imâ€" perial matters. These were of much interest to a very large number present, and his references were warmly reâ€" ceived. â€" Presidents from the Matheson, South Porcupine, Cochrane and Kapuskasing branches of the Legion also spoke a few words to the members assembled. A very enthusiastic meeting of the members of the Iroquois Falls branch of the Canadian Legion was held in the Curling Rink, Iroquois Falls, on Monâ€" cay night. |The meeting welcomed the dele:ates from all other branches in this section of the North. Zzone Commander Austin Neame adâ€" dressed the meeting and touched upon the recent Provincial Convention. He gave a very brief but concise report of the ~entire proceedings. Comrade W. A.

It provides: 1. A general increase of 3% in ‘the tax on all corporations which on the bas‘s of last year‘s returns will produse an revenue of approximalely $3â€" 500,000. On the incomes of individvail corpora‘ions, or businestes the tax is raiserdt from 15% to 18% and on conâ€" solidated returns from 17% to 20%. 3. A tax on all profits in ercess of 5% of involved on a sliding scale which rises from 10% to 60%. 3. An alternative tax of 50% of all profits in exsess of average earnings over the past four years to be taken at the cpticn of the individual firm. This alternative clause establishes a new principle of taxation for Canada. and, so far as it is known, for the world. It means that unless wartime Eusiness expands profits of any comâ€" pany by more than 5 per cent above the averaze preâ€"war earnings it will not be taxed on excess profits. This option has been given to protect companies who may not in any way profit by the general expansion of business during the war. Corporation war taxes become payâ€" able on the returns for the fiscal year of any company which ends on or after March 31 next. If a company‘s fiscal year ends in February it will not beâ€" come liable for the extra tax until 1941. If the year ends in April the tax is payable on the year 1939â€"1940. At first glance this may appear ‘to discriminate against some companies but it is pointâ€" ed out ‘that if and when the tax is reâ€" moved it will even up the scale. Some of the Provisions of the New War Budget. All corporation profits under 5 per cent of the capital involved are exempt from the excess profits tax. The excess profits tax does not beâ€" come applicable until the regular corâ€" porations tax has been deducted from the corporation income. If a company has an income of $100,000 it is liable, so far as excess profits tax is concerned, only for an income of $82,000. Where capital stock is issued for a consideration other than cash, disâ€" putes â€"may quite conceivg,p_ly_arise. In such cases, C. Fraser Elliott, Income Tax Commissioner, will be charged with the duty of deciding the issue. w oo EPm 2 Ece SE oW The excess profi'ts tax is double® barrelled legislation. |It is designed perâ€" haps primarily to curb excess profits due to wartime expenditures. It is exâ€" pected that businesses ‘to avoid this extra levy, will cut profit margins to a finer line as well as paying fair wages and putting more into the quality of Broadly the basis used in calculating capital for the excess profits tax will be the actual paidâ€"up capital or "real capital" used in the particular business. This basis is similar ‘to that used for calculation of the old Business Profits War Tax Act. On profits over 5 per cent and under 10 per cent there will be a tax of 10 per cent. Where the profit is over 10 per cent and under 15 per cent ‘that portion over 10 per cent will be liable to a tax of 20 per cent, in addition to the 10 per cent tax on that portion under the 10 per cent limit. Where profits are over 15 per cent of capital involved and under 20 per cent the amount over and above the 10 per cent is taxed at a rate of 30 the product. Sucth excess profits, howâ€" ever, are likely to accrue even with such marginâ€"cutting and the Government intends to confiscate a large portion of such earnings for the public treasury. A new company starting up business with a Government munitions contract has, of course, no option in the form of taxation, and if the experience of the last war were to be repeated might have reaped profits of 50 and 60 per Where profits are over 20 per cent and under 25 per cent there is an adâ€" ditional tax on that portion at the rate of 40 per cent. +Expect Big Increase While it is thought that with war contracts and general wartime exâ€" pansion of business the Government can expect a large increase in revenue from this source, Hon. J. L. Iisley in his Buiget speech omitted any estimate of what that revenue woud be. The reason is obvious. South Porcupine, Ont. BLOOR AVENUE. Rev. James A.

Sudbury police are very naturally piuzzled over an odd coincidence in that city on Sunday night. A gentleman questioned one of the constables on street in regard to a case where a woman was supposed to have attemptâ€" ed suicide by taking iodine. The conâ€" stable knew nothing of such a case and enquiry at the police station reâ€" vealed the fact that no such case had been reported.: The following night, however, the police had a call at about the same hour as the constable had been questioned the previous night. They found a woman lying on the bed with the bedclothes and her clothing stained with iodine, while there were also traces of iodine arqund the woâ€" man‘s mouth. The woman told police that she had taken iodine because she was tired of living,. She was taken to the hospital and it is not expected that her condition will prove serious, Hnâ€" quiry by the police shows that the two cases were completely unrelated. It was simply a case of the gentleman concerned hearing a false report of a woman somewhere in Sudbury drinking iodine, ‘and then another woman in Sudbury actually taking a quantity of liodine. ‘The police are always inclinâ€" ed to disbelieve in coincidence. But apart from coincidence, the only way the gentleman could be expected to know of an attempted suicide before itactually occurs is by means of some years Timmins has secured the extra $50 five times, North once and Sudbury once..

Miss Fellows extends an invitation to all women of the district to visit her at the store, and to receive treatâ€" ment and advice, which will make cach of her visitors a much more attractive personality, and add to beauty which Nature has z2iven to every woman. Helen Rubinstein has composed makeâ€"up in the new clear reds which have taken the place of the fuchsiaâ€" red of the past year. She expresses the thought that lipstick has a strange magic, that a tired face takes on subtle freshnes when just the right shade of bright clear color accents the lips. that even a neglected skin takes on new clarity, tiny lines seem to recede, tiny blemishes to disappear, when lipâ€" stick is cleverly chosen. "Clothes that were unbecoming," says Helen Rubinâ€" stein, "gorgeous new colors you love but hesitate to wear, become effective foils or complements to your personalâ€" ity when lipstick and makeâ€"up tonality are right."
