THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, APRIL 23, 1929 PAGE SEVEN INCOME TAXES ARE LIKFLY TO EXCEE SIXTY MILLIONS Remittances for Fiscal Year Ending March 31 Ex- Ottawa, April 23.---At twenty leading points throughout Canada, Dominion Inspectors of Income Tax are now preparing to receive re- mittances, which are due on or be- fore April 30, in respect of the 1928 income. For the fiscal year ended 31st March last, taxpayers in Canada contributed $59,422.000 in income tax, as against $56,671,- 000 for the previous fiscal year, and this in spite of a 10 per cent reduction in the tax. Predictions are freely made that the collections for she fiscal year ended 31st Maren. 1930, will exceed $60,000,- 00. While under the provisions of the Income War Tax Act 1917, the onus for obtaining forms and fill- ing returns lies entirely with the public, officials of the income tax division are doing their utmost to render every assistance. The re- turns of income together with re- mittance in favour of the Receiver- General of Canada, which are to be sent by way of accepted cheque, bank draft, or money order, must be in the offices of the inspectors of income tax through the country on or before April 30. "We know that the making up of income tax returns is quite a task for many people," said Hon. W. D. Edler, Minister of National Revenue, "and we want our inspec- tion offices to render all service possible, If any taxpayer finds difficulty with his returns, he ean be sure of obtaining the necessary information free of charge at any one of the twenty offices of inspec- tors of income tax. Letters of en quiry will be promptly answered and debatable points cleared up. We are publishing advertisements in quite a number of papers in or- der that the public may be in- Diamonds! Bassett's On Oshawa's Main Corner Last October the mew Manoir Richelieu at Murray Bay was commenced. In Six Months The winter construction of this building in the face of the severe winter of the lower St. Lawrence has attracted attention in engineering circles throughout the United States and Canada. maintaining the great tradition of hospitality. In June the Manoir will be -opened, formed on the main points of the law before April 30. We are also asking for public co-operation in the administration of the Act. Heretofore the public has co-oper- ated most generously, and I believe the same co-operation will be ex- tended this month." Officials of the Income Tax Divi- slon emphasize four points in the law as follows: 1. If the taxpayer finds it in- convenient to pay the full amount of his tax as estimated by him to be due on or before April 30, he may pay a minimum of 25 per cent of the Amount at the time of filing his return and the balance, if any, in three equal bi-monthly instal. ments, viz., June 30, August 31 and October 31, with interest at 6 per cent per annum from the 30th Ap- ril until paid. If instalments are not paid when due, then the pen- alty i=mterest of 4 per cent provided by the Act will be collected. 2. If the taxpayer for any rea- son is unable to file his return within the time prescribed, then fit is necessary for his secretary, agent, solicitor, or some other per- son sufficiently familiar with his | affairs, to file a tentative return on or before April 30, subject to revision within a reasonable time in order to avoid the penalizing provisions. 3. While in the past excuses have been accepted from taxpayers who omitted to report such items of income ag bond or mortgage in- continued and the peénaltfes provid- terest, this practice hay heen dis- ed will be strictly enforced. 4. In compiling income tax re- turns taxpayers should consult the income tax schedule. After arriv- ing at the total income the total credits which include statutory ex- emption should be subtracted and the amount of tax determined at the rate fixed by the schedule. From the result 20 per cent is to be deducted because the tax has has been reduced by that amount through amendments to the Act since the schedule was placed on the statute books.

HUGE TIMBER DEAL 1S MOOTED IN B.C. Option Is Secured on Vast Forest Area Near Chilliwack New Westminster, April 23.-- One of the largest timber deals in the lower mainland of B.C. in re- cent years is under way according to information received from reli- able sources. An option has been taken by Abernethy & Lougheed Ltd., to ac- quire the vast holdings of the Camptell river Logging Co., Ltd. near Cultus Lake and Chilliwack. The limits in question contain one billion feet of high grade fir, {cedar and hemlock. The purchase {price is understod to be in the {neighborhood of $1,500,000. A substantial payment has al- ready been made by Abernethy & Lougheed Limited on the property. At present Hon. Nels Lougheed, minister of public works and presi- dent of Abernethy & Lougheed Limited, is in the Old Country to interest capital in earrying out ex- tensive plans of the company. A huge pump will on the Fraser river to utilize the vast quantities of waste material -is also mooted. Abernethy & Lougheed Limited will complete, either this year or next, one of the largest logging projects in this part of the country. Huge ration Since 1921 the company has taken off nearly one billion feet of high class timber on Dominion government berths north of Port Haney. These berths were leased to United States interests, including the International Harvester Com- pany Limited, who gave Abernethy & Lougheed Limited the logging. The magnitude of this operation and its economic value to the prov ince is revealed by the fact that timber logged for the past eight years represents a value close va $10,000,000, The government has received nearly $1,000,000 in royalties from the operation. Pay Roll A crew of 500 to 600 loggers has been employed steadily, drawing a payroll exceeding one million aol- lars annually. Huge sums have been invested in a 165-mile standard guage railroad running from the Fraser river north to Allouette Lake and also in log- ging equipment, Approximately 18,000 acres have been Jogged and, due to the efficient fire fighting equipment maintained by the company, natural reforesta- tion has taken a firm hold on a large portion of this area. If forest fires are kept-out a vast mount of timber will be assured in hig area for future gemeratious. FORTUNE-TELLER IS HAILED TO COURT Toronto, Ont., April 23.--"The house I lived in was very damp. I changed my residence when my hand was read and I was advised tv do so. It helped me very much." This was part of the evidence gi+* en by the defense in a case in wo- men's court. The accused, a wo- man, declared she was 'positively married." A woman representative of the morality department testi. fied she was promised a husband when her hand was read. "I would never be in want, though never wealthy. It was worth the money to be told all this!" She did not think however that the promise of a husband was a "fortune" (and the defendant was accused of fore tune-telling). Counsel for the palm- reader suggested perhaps she con- sidered a husband a liability, "Can you tell future events?" the de- fendant was asked by opposing =I coungel. "I can tell you what yov are adapted for," he was informed. FREED AFTER 11 YEARS IN EXILE Innocent Convict Ordeal Ends on Retrial by Court Paris, April 23.--A dramatic scene occurred at Havre recently when a former Marseilles hairdress- er, who had been sent in chais to Devil's Island (the notorious French penal settlement) in 1915 on a charge of having betrayed his country, stepped from a ship a free man, completely rehabilitated by the highest courts of France after having been kept a prisoner for eleven years. The man, Henri Bellon, now ag: ed 37, wag the victim of an incred- | ible drama every bit as strange as that of Captain Dreyfus, one of the most notorious instances of a mis- carriage of justice ever known. New Trial In tie case of Henri Bellon the establishment of hig innocence is due to a murder trial in Paris that had no connection with the hair- dresser's alleged offence. It was evidence obtained at this murder trial that secured for Bellon a new trial which ended in his acquittal. Bellon"s case is one of the most extraordinary in the history of military and civil jurisprudence. He had been invalided out of the army in 1914 seriously wounded, and resumed his profession of hair- dresser and wigmaker. He went to Geneva to buy women's hair-nets, There he met a naturalized Ameri- can named Stanley Mitchell, a Pole by birth, who was working in Switzerland for the French count- er-espoinage service. Belon helped Mitchell to write his reports in French. One day Mitchell was suddenly arrested by the Swiss police as a foreign spy and expelled. Mitchell reported to his chief that Bellon had denounc- ed him. . Treason Charge When Bellon returned to France he wag arrested on 'a charge of treason, tried before a court-mar- tial at Marseilles in the latter part | of 1915, and on Mitchell's testi- mony, which was entirely hearsay, was sentenced to Devil's Island for life. Bellon protested his innocence, and wrote hundreds of letters of appeals to the League for the Rights of Men in Paris hut the War | Minister refuséd to authorize a new trial. Years passed, and one night in the autumn of 1925 Bellon was | reading a three months' old copy ! of the Paris "Matin" by candle light in his hut in the penal settle- ment. As his eyes glanced down the columns of the newspaper a cry escaped him. He was reading about the trial of a Paris caretanw, Lazare Tissier, for the murder of a bookmaker named Bellay in his cel- lar in the heart of Paris. The mur- derer' afterwards took the body to the Bois du Boulogne. Perfect Case The police case against the care- taker was perfect except that they had not the glizhtest evidence to show how the body had been taken to the Bois. At a critical point in the police investigation Stanley Mitchell, who had a long police record in France, suddenly appear- ed and declared that he had been released from prison the previous day, had spent the night in Mont- martre, and then had gone to the Bois, where, waking up early in the morning, he saw the caretaker pass- ing with the body. When Mitchell told his story at the trial he was under a warrant of expulsion and. made such an un- favorable impression that he was driven from the court by the judge. He was allowed to remain in France some months after that, and then finally expelled. In consequence of Mitchell's role in this case, Bellon was granted a new trial by the French civil court in 1926. The Public Prosecutor announced that there had been a judicial error, and asked for Bel- lon's complete rehabilitation. This was granted, and he was given damages amounting to £40. This sum, however, was not sufficient to pay the passage of both himself and his wife to France, so he re- turned home alone.
