They have no legitimate cause of
grievance at the way Canada is be-

sotnothiug as a tnakeshift value for
their $1,000 a year sessional allow-
anco. Consequently they grumble

is too high, how will the American

have foreign treaty making powers

nothing at all. But with Britain

Whiskey Trust official's are await-
ing with no little anxiety the result
of the adoption of the ay.teut of
weighing instead of gauging distill.
ed spirits in order tnaacsrtain the
taxable quantity in each barrel. The
new system goes Into effect on Mon.
day, May 2, when the occupation of
the gaugers ill the internal revenue
service of the entire country will be
gone.
Ever since the government first
began to tax whiskey gauging has
been the only means of ascertaining
the taxable quantity of spirits man-
ufactured. This system was not bo-
lieved to be es absolute as 1t should
be. fractions of a gallon in a barrel
being exempt from taxation, The
whiskey mon took advantage of this
and manufactured all their barrel
so that each barrel contained a car-
tain number of gallons end
a fraction. Almost' a half gal-
lon of spirits in each barrel was
saved from taxation by this means,
and in a year the amount saved has
been estimated from $300,000 to
$500,000. With the formation of
the trust the barrels used were made
more uniform in size, and the pro-
fits of the trust grew rapidly. The
Internal Revenue Departmentdecid-
ed some time ago to adopt the weigh-
ing system, and each internal reven-
ue district was supplied with a num-
ber of portable scales, which the
gaugers will use in lieu of their rq.ls.
Tho empty barrels to be filled will
first be weighed, and after they
era filled will be weighed
again. The weight will be re-
duced to gallons and the tnx assess
ed accordingly. Tho advantages
