Board of the Patrons held a meeting in Toronto, last week, for the transaction of business in eounectiot with the recent Provincial elections, �1, representative of the Globe asked Mr. J. LeckieWilson some questions as to the stand taken by the order in regard to specific points of paliey. A change in the assessment law was the point on which Mr, Wilson • seemed to lay most stress ---that change mining in the direction of bank stocks and mortgages. The existing exemption of farm stock, Mr. Wilson was willing to see abol- ished, inasmuch as the wealthier farmer, with his expensive herd, gots muck more exemption than does the poorer farmer, with his half-dozen grade cows. Neither, lie said, do ;farmers desire any special legisla- tion; what they ask is that farmers should. be treated as other classes of the community in the matter of as- sessnient. If a farmer has a farm valued at $3,000, and has a $2,000 mortgage on it, he is taxed on the whole $ 2,000; while a merchant with $,000 worth of goods, of which he - has paid for Abut $1,000 worth, is, quite properly; taxed on only that • $1,000 worth, is, quite properly, tax- ed on only that $1,000 worth. If there is to be an income tax, they • will =accept it, the farmer to pay on leis income, after deducting the ex- penses of his farm and family. By that income tax the money lenders -and bank stockholders' could be reached, Turning to the subject of the De- • partmerit of Agriculture, whieh the Ontario Government lied maintained for the farmers of the Province, Mr. Wilson expressed himself as approv- . i.ng of it.. The government, in this instance, he said, hacl done good world, and bus done .its best. We take no stock in this small tank about calves with coughs, be observed.

And I am not surprised, for Mr. Meredith is, of course, a professional awn. Mr. Wilson approved of the Ontar- io Agrieultural College at Guelph; it has done good work, and he hoped. to see the principle extended. Speak- ing as an eastern mean, he would like to see a model farm established some- where in the eastern counties. There and ex - is ar different clinf.ayte there, a periinents carried on in the Guelph climate might not give the same re- sults hi the St. Lawrence district. s One suggestion he would make would be that, inasmuch as the Guelph farm has every year a sale of steels, seed, grain, etc.; and inasmuch as it is a very long way for a magi to go from near Brockville or Cornwall to The council met in to town hall, P.

The actual cost of the strike to the order is, however, but a Mere trifle when compared to what it is costing the men who are out of work. Five clays ago it was estimated that the . strikers were losing $150,000 a day in wages, and that sum will increase rapidly as more men are called from ' lr .lit. to 1 e their employment. President Delia has not yet doubt- ed the financial ability of the union to carry on the strike, but there is a limit to the fends at his command. The order bas an annual income of about $140,000.
