The importation of large quantities of raw cane sugar for refining pur- poses by the Dominion Sugar Com- pany is responsible for the increase. The government is contemplating passing a-law to rid the motor public from the menace of the glaring head- light. This will be good news to many as there are certainly large numbers of motorists on the roads with such glaring headlights that it is a wonder more accidents are not occurring out here in the country,and in most cases these drivers are the ones that dash along at a terrific rate when meeting another car.

Wealthy people who live in Eng- land and .have large properties in America are peculiarly har hit by the income taxes. The case of Lady Beatty, wife of Admiral Sir David Beatty, is quoted as an example. She is a daughter of the late Mar- shall Field, of Chicago, and her in- come is known to be between $200,- 000 and $300,000. The British Govern- ment takes fifty per cent. on the ground that she is a British subject, being married to a Briton, and the United States takes sixty per cent. because her property is in America. Thus her large income is reduced to $20,000 less than nothing on $200,- nominal income the greater will be the deficiency. Z 2-t. | The President of the United!
