• DIRECT TaNATION
Every family of five living in Canada
was taxed for Federal purposes last year,
$10.10 or 64 per cent more than under Mr.
Mackenzie in 1878. If direct taxation
were the rule the increase would be im-
possible but because every time a teas-
poonful of sugkr is used to sweetens our
tea and coffee the tax is 'paid, people are
Jolly enough to believe theydo not feel it.
Indireet taxation is the most, unphiloso-
' phical,iextravagant, extortionate and ab-
surd method of paying taxes ever devised.
Under direct taxationtwe dollars would
go where three are required under the in-
direct eystem.—Exchange.
We have long been convinced that the
only proper method nf erinecting fInt, r� -
venue of a country is by direct taxation.
Observation and experience under the N.
--P. has strengthened that conviction. Peo-.
ple pay in taxes now a midi larger anseunt
than they have anyldeit ocand it is be-
cause the amounts are scattered over the
general articles of consumption that they
do not realite them. It would 'take too
much [time and be a tedious task to go.
through the several articles of commerce
• and make a pro rata calculation of the
gross amount extracted from the pockets
of the consumera, by way of indirect tax-
ation, but a little thought and reflection
will give any one a general idea of the
amount. If a man pays directly $loo in
a lump,sum for taxes, he wants to know
the grounds upon which he makes .the
payment, but he may pay $150-4ndireetlys
distributed over a certain period, and
makes no inquiries about it, becaulte, while
paying more in the one case than -the
other, one being direct and the other in-
direct, the outlay of the larger sum has
not been realized. Still, he would be $50
poorer by the process. IT people would
only
only take time to think on the details of
government, they:would soon arrive at the
deessien that there are many witysinwhich.
economic reforms could be made, and one
of the most advantageous of these is in the
collection of the country's revenue.
. THE SCOTT AVT IN HALTON:
Now that other counties are about to
take action on the Scott Act, a good deal
of interest centres in the county of Hat-
ton, where a desperate effort is, being
made in the interest of liquor dealers to
repeal the Act.- Advices, ,however, from
Halton show that the force of the •Auti-
Scott Act movement there is broken, and
that the friends of temperance are nos
thoroughly roused to maintai1? the bless-
ings of local option.. Tba th'ii Act has
been beneficial, no honest men will doubt,
2 .
and figures that 'cannot be refutedsiaaye
• been published to prove tine. 'In this
matter of the Scott Act there; shOnldhe
no backsliding. When 'a; enristketteney
once adopts the bill, it should be yiger=
ously enforced, and all efforts to under.
mine it insthe popular. favor, , carefully
watched and fenstrated. The sentiment
in Halton is strongly in favor of the bill,
but in the very strength ef the :sentiment
lies its weakuess. Many are disposed to•
remain at home and not work because
they believe in Pentmen that they are
others who are willing to do so Such
apathy, generally extended, means defeat
Let the Mende of • the movementbeware,
of apathy ae they would of an avowed op-
ponent. It is the more dangerous of the
two because 'the most insidious ip t in
fluence. When the matter come. to a
vote theAnti-Seett men Will be :found at
the polls in full fofat The temperance
people should [see -to it that their friends are
also oil hand. It is altogether probable
that the people ef „Halton will sustain
the Act, but there should be no tppot-
tion"on" about, the matter. Whatever the
vote, it will have a great influence on
those countiets where the Act is shortly to
be submitted and the temperance men of
Halton must carry on the contest tinder
the realization that their action will in-
fluence for good or bad the whole Pro-
vince of Ontario,
