,How Profits Are Taxed
So many millionaires emerged
from the last war that many Cana-
dian people are • rather skeptical
about the truth of the repeated as-
sertrons that no matter how high
profits may go in,this war, there will -
be no new millionaires as a result;
because war taxes will largelycon-
•
sume all profits.
However, there is more than a lit-
tle truth in these:, assertions. In a
recent' survey made by the Financial
Post, it has been shown that there
was a drop from $170,000,000 to
$154,000,000 in the net profits'made
last year by' 105 representative in
dustrial and' financial companies of
this Dominion. It is also shown that
in spite of the tremendous increase
in business caused by the war, these
companies' haVe made much less than
•they did in 1939, when their net pro-
fits amounted to $175,000,000.
The reason is very apparent.
• While these companies paid $43,518,-
000 in taxes in 1939, they paid $188,-
006,000 in 1943. The difference is the
share the Government took out of
• their profits by way of war taxes in
•
one form or another.
The relation between- profits and
• taxes was shown to have varied with
the, different industries. Iron and
Steel paid $40,660,000 in taxes last
• • year, which left •them • a profit of
$15,867,000, while metal industries
• paid $39,000,000, but had a profit of
$52,000,000. Public utilities. paid
$34,00,0,000, which left them $24,600,- •
000. Construction companies paid
. $3,689,000 with a- profit of $2,529,000.
Merchandizine Industries paid $9,-
• 281;060 in taxes and had only $,203, -
left, Banks Went about fifty-
fifty with the Government, paying
$11;450,000 in faxes and having a
profit left of $11,243,000. In every
it should be noticed too, the net
r - profits of _all these- industries and
companies were less in 1943 than -
they were in 1942.
This is ample evidence that ex-
• horbitant or even special war profits
are not a feature in this war as they
were in the last. The business of the
• . country has been tremendously in-
creased by war work, and the profits,
as a consequence, have, been very
high, but when the war taxes are
• paid out of them, the actual profits
are less than they were before the
-This is, of course, as it should be.
No one should be allowed to become
millionaires out of the agony of war,
but at the same -time, -many people,
• -particularly in the country, are loath
to believe, or give any credit to in:-
dustry or finance, for the contribu=
• tions they are actually making' to the
• war effort

• He Has The Monep Though!
Referring tor an article that ap-
peared in the editoriatcolumns a few
weeks ago, the Pergas News -Record
• says: "On this page last week, sev-
• eral items from district newspapers
• were printed, in all of which farm-
ers were handling large sums of .
money rather carelessly. The only
comment was, that some town peo-
ple were beginning to wonder if they
• were not wasting their time slaving
away for a weekly wage, while farm-
ers bad $500 or $1,000 to leave lying
• around the louse, or to drop on the -
street!?
'ro- this, a farnler in that district
• has written the Peraus editor as fol-
low:
Editor: That piece about
farmers rather amused' us. The

W,e_don't believe that farmacie
out a very good case for himself or
his fellows either. For one thing, he -
or any one else, who persists in car-
rying 811I/IS of money up to $500 and
$1,000 constantly on their persons,
show little business sense. For an-
other, the reasons he gives for this
practise are far from convincing.
Even if he lived ten miles away from
a bank, that bank, in all probability,
would be situated in the town or vil-
lage where he did his market busi-
ness and where the money was paid
over to him.
Practical business would suggest
that he deposit this money in a bank
when he receivedit. Then there
would be no danger of his losing it
on the way home, or after he, got
home. It would be safe. The fad
that his money was in a bank would
in no way prohibit him from looking
for bargains, or buying anything in
the way of grain, fertilizer, seed or
stock: His cheque is just as good ten
miles away from a bank, as a medium
• of payment, as if he took the cash
out of his pocket. And much less
danger or worry for him about it too.
There are not many who will spare
much Sympathy over this, farmer on
his potato deal either. Any farmer,
at this time of year, who has home-
• grown potatoes for sale, and refuses
$2.35 a bag, is lucky to get 75c later
on. Lucky if Ile doesn't have to
throw them away.
A farmer's life is hard, and haz- •
ardous, as all who know anything
about it will admit, but not even, this
farmer, b'y a single word or hint in
his letter, denies the farmer has
• money these days. And after all,
whether he banks it, or carries it, or
loses it, is pretty' much his own busi-
ness.

Testaments To Armed Forces
At its 39th annual meeting held in
Toronto recently, it was announced
that since September, 1939, the -
British and Foreign Bible Society in
Canada and Newfoundland, has pre-
sented 641,668 New Testaments to
the armed forces through Chaplains.
In circulation, in spite of linfited
supplies, 44,509 copies of the Serip-
tures were issued, including 192,055 .
for special war purposes. The gift
to the parent society in London, Eng-
land, amounted to $210,000, compar-
ed with $85,000 the year previous,
the addition being accounted for by
unexpected legacies, and increased
contributions from every auxiliary
in Canada and Newfoundland.
Quite Simple
-This story is told of D. L. Moody,
one of the great preachers and evan-
gelists Df another day:
• One day a young man came in
great perplexity to the clergyman,
Dwight L. Moody, and said; "Mr.
• Moody, I want to reform and lead, a
better life. But I don't know how I
ean give up my undesirable compan-
ions."
"That's not difficult, young man,"
replied the revivalist, smiling sym-
pathetically upon his visitor. "Just
live a good life and your undesirable
companions will give you up." It's
as simple as that.

This Is The Season
• This is the season that your neigh-
bor is likely to tell you that he has
harvested his first crop, and eaten it
in a pie. . —
It doesn't interest us much as in-
clination or taste is concerned, but
we did go, to the dictionary to see
how to spell it, and get some of its
. history.
This is what -the dictionary said:
- "Any plant of the genus Rheum, esp.
R. rhaponticum, the common garden
rhubarb . ... They are tall, coarse
herbs with very large- leaves and,
thick, succulent petioles."
•'One rhubarb enthusiast we have
heard of gives another definition:
• "Rhubarb is a blend of warm sun-
shine and spring rain*, with.. a hint
of frosty nights' and chill mornings,
It combines nostril:tickling, tartness

This was a bit diffiealt . . because
she always seemed to have a good

gut up the particular page that you
wanted to read. We stopped that.
Then she entered into the stage of
cutting out paper dolls: There were
dolls in various stages ef .being dress-

I was quite certain that 3?4y eyesight
