Before analyzing the figures in this, table let us first consider how many‘, individuals earning incomes there are} in Canada. lin the census returns of! 1921 it was stated that 47.5 per ccnt (lithe total population of Canada were'“gainfully employed." To this percentage can with safety be added 2.5 per cent for persoriswho, though not (employed, have incomes from pl‘!- vatrmeaus. We shall then have a total of 50 per cent of all the people, in Canada who have incomes of some nature. Now it is generally sup- posed that the population of the Dominion today is about, 10,000,000 and 50 per cent of that number would be 5.000.000, and yet what do we find in the above table? ’I'lmt 122,026 1n- diufduals (less than 21-4 per cent)

cover, E. G., how the annual balance sheets oi average business, concerns have been turning out during the past few years, how much the form- ers, especially in Eastern Canada, have improved their positions, to what extent the working classes are better oiT at the end than at the beginning of each year. These are the real and only safe tests of na- tional progress.

The income of the individual citi- zen, in so far as 1t exceeds the ne- cessary cost of living and permits of the enjoyment of home comforts, a proper care of the health with a due quota, of recreation, and a satisfac- tory education of the rising genera- tion, is the true measure of a peo- ple's prosperity, and, no matter how

paidan income tax in 1928, and that. ofthose who paid, 36,060 earned less; than $2000 per tlflflllm, and further, that only 89,057 earned 0r received? . an income in excess oi that amount.) such an astounding statement emon-l sting from Government sources nat- urally calls for investigation. Either .¢hore is widespread evasion of the in.- .com_e;tax act. or the people of this country are suffering from a state of. tosay the least, semi-poverty. To claim-that evasion is general is tan-

in Canada, for this particular division of the De-

mittedly is exceedingly well admin- gistered, and apparently without fear for favour. On the other hand, any onewho has a knowledge of the com- forts of life being-enjoyed in the, Cit.- Jes and Towns of Canada will find it dlfilcult to believe that only 89,057 of= .our people have more than $2,000 to, expend in a whole twelve months. I: is for our friendsjln the Ottawa Gov- , ernmcnt to ‘decide which of the two} horns oi this dilemma. they prefer to] rest upon. So far as the public is: concerned. as no proof is forthcom- ing that incomes in Canada are no: beingfiully taxed, there is no alter-j native but to pcccpt the Government figures as correct. ,

now during the present union of Parliament we have heard a great;

attractive a country‘s trade- figures may be, they avail hothlng if the above test can be shown to be un- satisfactory. We have in Canada but few opportunities of making such a test. The lncomc tax is one. Let us sce how it works out.

As already shown 971-2 per cent oi Canadian income earners live on a. figure too small to tax. It will be noted that, of the 122,026 persons who are taxed, no less than 36,969 earn- ed in 1927 less than $2,000 and fur- ther that 67.688 earned less than $6,000, thus leaving only 17,369 in- dividuals who have in excess of six thousand dollars to spend annually upon themselves and their families. There is certainly no indication of universal prwpcrlty in these figures.

Nor is thcrc a much better show- ing when we turn to the corpora- tlons. I ltave not been oble to dis- cover how many corporations in Canada. are actually operating, so am unable even to guess as to the number of Limited Companies in i927 that earned no profit. at all. or a profit of less than $2,000. Accord- ing to the above table 012i Compan-

, ics earned $2,000 or more, and 53 per

rent of these (3244) made less than $10,000. Those figures are ‘an enigma in face of the dailystcck market quotations.

And what do we flnd with the well to do people and Ute big corpora-

Out of $33,301,157 paid 15y c121 CQm- panics, i086 companies paid $20,772,- 475 or 89 per cent and, as the tax on Corporations (8 per cent) is the same on all .allke, irrespective of capital- ization or profits, it is to be presum- ed that the net profits earned were in a. like proportion. ‘this is certain- ,ly "big business" with a vengeance.

ANOTHER AUTHORITY 01v IsLAIvD-s CLAIMS

Shy-In yesterday's Guardian Mr. J. O. C. Campbell takes Mr. Tid- marsh to task. Mr. Campbell sug- gests that there is nothing new in Senator Hughes‘ speech and that the claim in question was fairly dealt with in the presentation mode by the government at the Conference ,of i927.

Of course there is nothing new in Senator Hughes speech in the Sen- ate, nor was there anything new in the "very able" brief presented in 1927. As a matter of fact there_ has been nothing new discovered since the presentations made by the Moth-

.ieson Government in 1912 and 1913.

Any briefs "prepared since ,that time have had as a ground work the briefs of 1912 and 1913., This whole work was reviewed by Mr. Stewart in his brief in conversation with the Duncan Commission and the brief of 1927 presented by the present government simply embodies tho same arguments given 1n prev- ious presentation in a surpiusage and Mr. J. 0. C. Campbell knows this but tries to give the present gov- ernment credit for the thorough work done by previous governments and which had their origin with the Mathieson and Arsenault Govern- ments.

renaissance; the girl is Betty Compson. “Scarlet Seas" was writ- tcn as an original screen story by Scott Darling and adapted by Brad- lcy King. The bulk of the picture was filmed at sea which necessitated the chartering of a large fitet oi vessels. '

The characterization of the rough sailor is one to the Barthelmess ilk- lng. There is more than just action and the always fascinating back- ground of the sca—thcre is athought in "Scarlet Seas,‘ a. thought that deals with the regeneraton 0f a man's soul. Barthelmess has never been seen to better advantage, and we herewith predict an exceptionally long local run.

The story of “Scarlet Seas" deals with Steve Donkin, a virile and dif- ferent role as assayed by Barthel- mess, who believed in neither God nor man. He roamed the Sevep Seas and took what he wanted where he found it. when he shanghaied a girl from the questionable dive and took net-to sea. with him; when the ship burned and the two were left alone and adrift on a lifeboat; when death started them in the face; and hunger tested his faith in life and himself; when a rescue (the strang- est ever screened) was effected, and how he finally found hlmselffhtesc are the highlights of "Scarletiees," which 1s entertainment from begin- ning to end.
