No Tax Charged- I On Profits

(Canadian Press)

MONTREAL, April 23 -Persons

who were fortunate enough to acquire a little. surplus inconieduring 1928 out of their speculations _on the stock market need not worry about calculating income on their margin of profits, nor about finding the money to pay such taxation after the slump of last month wiped all their profits out. P. J. McCaffrey, collector of in- come tax in Montreal, stated today that no tax was charged on profits made in st/ock speculations when they are carried out by some one apart from his regular business. Those who "take a flyer" on the market, like- wise cannot claim exemption for losses sustained. However, if stock speculation is _made one's principal business, a statement of profits and losses for the year would have to be submitted and taxes paid on the bal- ance. '

NEW INVENTION AIDS

THE GRAIN INDUSTRY

TORONTO, April 23.-Promising

results have been obtained in tests with the new moisture machine which was developed in the department of physics of the University of Toronto rccentiy for the measure of moisture in wheat and lumber, according to Professor E. P. Burton of the univer- sity, in a lecture at Convocation Hall tonight on “New Methods of Measur- ing Moisture."

The machine was checked against

the present standard of methods of determining moisture by the Domin- ion grain commission in its labora- ¢°l'Y in Winnipeg. Its success meant. he said, that the grain industry would benefit greatly by the new invention.

Prof. Burton stated that experi-

ments 'with radio tubes had produced a method of utilizing an oscillatory circuit and applying it to the measuring of moisture in various products.

Experiments on the machine were

made to show how it worked in de- teetinrsand measuring moisture 'in wet and dry wheat, wood, rubber and smilie. `

Messrs. Elliott 'And

Ralston Come to Res- cue of Postmaster General.

(From our own Correspondent) OTTAWA, Ont., Aliiil 23. -- The

Hon. R. B. Bennett made a scathing attack on the post-master general in connection with the amendment moved by Mr. Stewart, Perth, cou- demning the postmastership of Bim- coc. Ont., intlmating that a further amendment would be moved later of a more general character.

Mr. Bennett charged the minister

with "gross inefficiency," and urged that this condition of affairs could not be camouflagcd by the imputa- tion of such motives as were sought to be conveyed, without warrant. by the Ottawa newspaper.

“We are not dealing with the man

but the minister,” he said, addinB that race had nothing to do with the motion being put forward. This re- ference was to “Le Droit,” a French Canadian newspaper published in Ot- tawa, which statsd that Mr. Veniot was being attacked on account of his race, something which Mr. Ben- nett repudlated with the greatest emphasis.

The distress of the postmaster-gem

eral brought to his rescue the Hen. Mr. Elliott, Minister of Public Works who declared that Mr. Veniot was the best postmaster-general Canada ever had and his colleague, the Hon._"lVl.i'.

This afternoon the debate was

continued, Col. iRelston_still on the floor. He contended that Mr. Whit- taker, recommended by the civil ser- vice comrnisslon was 100 percent un- fit for service and had been so .re- ported by the inspector. UPOY1 divid sion the amendment was defeated by 98 to 71.

All Conservatives with all progres-

sives and U. F. A. present, except D. H. Jelliff. (U.F.A., Lethbridge), voted for the amendment. All Liberals. Liberal-Progressives, Henri Bouras- sa, (Independent, Labelle), A. A. Heaps, (Labor, Winnipeg North) and H. B. Adshead, (Labor, Calgary East) voted against the amendment.

A. W. Neill (Independent Comox.

Alberni), and J. S. Woodsworth, (La- bor. Winnipeg, North Centre), were not present when the house divided.

Upon going into committee on the

postoflioe estimates the opposition barrage was kept up and at six o'clock no progress had been made.

Several members rose and asked

for numerous returns dealing with various postoiilce appointments. This prompted Mr. Veniot to protest that while he was perfectly willing to furnish the house with the informa- tion, members would have to wait some time before all these returns could be prepared. Already he had u staff of 16 stenographcrs who had worked all over the weekend and up to midnight each night getting ready those returns that had already been

requested. _

William Duff. (Liberal, Antigonishe

Guysboroi, asked for a return show' ing the appointments and dismissals within the post office between Sep- iembcr 15', 1911 and September 15, 1921. The mlm.-ter declared that this was impossible as it would nec- essitate the work of 100 stenograph- ers for between five and six months.

Mr. Duff insisted that if Conserva-

tive membcrs were determined to ob- tain the returns they dcmrrided then he was also entitled to i1:.~ informa- tion he sought. He added that he also wanted the same information re- garding the period in which the "shadow government" was in power.
