THE GRANGE, The Dominion Gi nope at its annual -sleeting at Toronto last pweek brought to public attention a number of pro. posed reforms in legislative )natters. One of the most radical proposals which found favor was that the "covin. try should adopt the system el direct legislation by means of the initiative and referendum. A recent amend- ment to the constitution of the Stale of Maine was cited as an example. By virtue of this new clause in the constitution every act of the State Legislature remaino inoperative for three months after the enol of the ses- sion, and upon the petition of 10,(00 e lectors any measure ponied during the session must he submitted to the people. By means of the people's initiative 12.000 petitioners may order sap proposed museum to be submitted The the North American ports which do the Largest h,t•iflees are New York, Galveston, Boston, New ()r• trans awl Mtanteee+ir- The- most ant. prising thing in this 16C -to -people up this, way. is that the second place is occupied by Galveston, a port of which hear very little. 1'he list is made alpVe 'the lm:►a of the exportations and'J 141011 ltiuu. fur 110)7.

A Needed Reform. HalbMon Times. ....- .. . T'!fonto rY retch II Crary, • dtactual ng the growth of Socialism in that city, refers to the very uneatisfai•tory con- ditions of the Ontario Assessment Act as affecting land aseesiment. It says : "Tbe truth is that neither ninety, NO it party, has identified itself with really scientific methods of land assessul••nt, although the question is a good deal more important than many of the is- sues upon which they have divided. The present Assessment Act, prepared as it was with great Care, leaves much to he desired." The last remark is an exceedingly- moderate one. Tbe prem- ent act, which is the result of the mangling ..f a tolerably good draft measure, prepared by it commission presided over by Mr. Justice MacLen- nan, is in no arose a party measnrv. Both parties are equally respons)bh • for its defect., which are radical, and for its good ppint.,, w•hi-h are not too numerous. The draft measure was before the Legislature for two sem- skins, during which it was subjected to all kinds of alterations at the de- mand of deputations and at the sug- geNtion of every crank uul11triprrl rep- resentative who chose to appeal. Jiany of these deputations repre- sented special interests, earl one of which sought to get et the other. Most of the iowtnicipal representatives were hired offlrinbs whoop then nt the science of taxation was to get a meas - tree that wgqnht yield revenue. Their economic e. fence looked only to get- ting taxes : and the measure which would hike the 111o41 money with the least nwountof-trouble to them, with- out regent to the equity of -the levy, OV the return made to the taxed, Ives the hest measure. As -night be ex- ....period,- the-Aeeev.ement 'Act, vn. jure. barest. was a umnstresity, a thing of injustice and anomalies. it wee founded upon no principle; it re- garded not right or jetties.
