OTTAWA CO � The federal government lias decided lo collect income lax from the Ilul-Icrile colonies of Western Canada in 1961.
The decision ends 11 years of lax exemption for the pacifist sect's farm colonies, which in lH-lU were freed from income lax on the grounds that they were religious charitable organizations.
A  government   study   revealed the llniierite farms arc operated , as businesses lo produce profits. | Prepared Therefore, the colonies are "properly  liable"  to  income  tax.
Individual members of the colonies also will be subject lo the tax � as they always have been. However, few of them actually pay tax. Their taxable incomes usually are too low because of tlu- communal nature of the big farms.
