There's un orgiiiiissttiun Ikh'K eat that spends il'n time del ving into statistics mid sometimes it digs up some interesting things. Some til the members have bet'ii hearing politician during election time tell how lieavilx Caunda was taxed so they set to work itud prett soon they find out exactly, how tlie matter stands. According, to the figures quoted, and there is no reason to Leieve them untrue. Canadian people pay in taxes, nalioiial. provincial and municipal, the sum of ?0d.ll a year each. This is less- than they pay in the United Staies, Australia or Ureal Britain, three countries that are often quoted, people in United Slates juty .(i7.:Ui each, in Australia !s(iu,s, and in (treat Britain SU7.12. The difficulty with cnmparistius in -taxation is that some conn tries collect most of theirs from national taxation, other from provincial or slate taxation imd again others from municipal taxation. It matters little wjiieh way as long as they have to pay. I lie on m fair comparison is a total of all three. It does nVr:aJlfl M& to&$faelttiiolha::6lher have to pay more, hut it does give nsi satfsfarfion to know Hurt all the blue ruin talk we have heard Is purely piffle. H. H. Stevens And Smuggling Charges. Recently Hon. II. Jl. Slevns of Vancouver made some very wild -charges against the customs department of the !omiuio Coverument. He nfiiled that the "government was losing thirl niiHion dollars a yeir 'from tlie admisi'iou pf coiitralaiil. Tin-is supposed to ail came from the United Stales. The odd thing is that the iotal amount of disjoins duties paid on imjtort of l'.S ; goods is seventy-five million dollar. If any person believes Rial J'ral Uie gtwnls entering Cannd . from l'.S. are smuggled in, Jie is hideetl erelHlous. He would believe almost anything. Theire jiirobably are bad customs officers but not any more in thaf bnabch of the public service than in any other. rr '' Dividends Necessary In All industrial Concerns.

Some companies pay high dividends but many pay none Take the Granny Company as ait example. It ha paid no divi dends for several years.
