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, EQUALIZATION HATTERS Ile members of the County Connell met at Goderich on Tuesday, in dodnec- tion with the appeal of /Memo agailse, the equalized assessmentof that township, representatives of every metticinality cept McKillop being present, and pro, ceedings were opened before Judge Toms, Mr.Garrow appears on behalf of the Coins, ty Council, and Ifr.
