DEC. tis. 1911 Before another ilue of The signal the new year will have been ushered in. Our best wish for those who read this pat agraph is that their highest hopes and aspirations may be realized during the coming year. We trust that for the town of Goderich and the county of Huron -our own peculiar care—the year may be a prosperous one, and that for the individual resi- dents of these communities it may be the lest year of their lives. For all the homes into which The Signal enters each week may the coming year bring comfort, contentment and happiness in abundant measure. We pati regretfully with the dying year, and will cherish its memories of sorrow and joy. We salute the new yew, with its oppsrtunities of making a fresh start, of fst getting the old mis- takes and failures, of making a new and a better record : and we bust to find 1912 as good a fellow, as cheer- ful a comrade, as true a friend as its brothers of the past have been. THE t9NlON BANK. The people of Ooderich and of this district will be interested in the annual report of the Union Bink of Canada, which appeals in the columns of The Signal this week. Though not long established in Goderich, the Union Batik has already a large list of cue tamers here, and under the capable management of Mr. W. L. Hot too the Goderich branch has become in a short time one of the most prominent and influential business institutions of the district. The forty-sevepth annual meeting of the Union Bank of Canada, held in the office of the Bank in Quebec on December 16th, revealed a most satis- factory condition of affairs. The net profits for the year, after making the usual deductions for bad and doubtful debts, etc., amounted to $(!82,337, ae compared with 11451,020 for the previous year. The earnings were at the rate of fourteen per cent. on the Bank's average paid-up capital. The premium on new stock issued during the year amounted to $157,090. while the balance at credit of account Nov- ember 30th, 1910, amounted to $80,000. This made is total of $1,109,9K3 avail- able for distribution. Of t h i s quarterly dividends at the rate of two pet cent. absorbed $361,000, the num of 3200,000 was transferred to the rest account, as well as $457,000 transferred to the same account from premium on new stock, making a total transferred to the rest account of $057,1100. The sum of $1001110 was written off hank premises account. officers' pension food received $10,0011, while the balance of profits carried forward amounted to $71,97.!. That the Bank is making rapid progress is shown by a comparison with the figures of the previous year. The note circulation has increased by nearly $l,300,100, total deposits by over $7,800,000, paid - up capital by $914,11()0 and 1 he rest account by nearly 5A0A,00f. The total assets of the Bank now stand at $.'IA 434,000, as compared with $48,556,0061 for the previous year. During the year the Bank took two or three forward steps. Early in the year it absorbed the United Empire Hank of Toronto. thereby increasing its meets and the number of its branches.

"THE OPEN BAR A PUBLIC CALAMITY." 'Taranto weber Pee. rs h. Wby should business men and hi fns doing "more than ninety-five per cent. sf all twalneas done to the town of Leamington" publicly proclaim their determined opposition to the bar -roans business 1' Why should they declare that for their town to return to the open bar would be -nothing short of a public calamity"? Every man en- gaged in the liquor business would do well to consider nsa own case in for light of the "proclamation" which ap- pears today on the front page of The Globe. The fact is that the bar -room huai- nem cannot bear to he tested by sound economic principles. it is condemned alike by the maxims of political econ- ome and by the facts of business ex- perseoce. The closer study given today by progressive business men to the conditions of business success has put the open bar under scrutiny. Wherever that scrutiny is made with economic intelligence the verdict is emphatically against the bar -room. The business men of Leamington agree in their verdict that since tiro town was rid of the open bar they "have found business steadily improving, collections considerably better, more building being done than ever before. no buildings in town to rent, the morals of the entire community greatly improved." With that verdict of business exper- ience agree the principles of political economy. Jr is a sound economic maxim that an business which does not produce something valuable or which does not stimulate the produc- tion of something valuable is burden- some to the community in which it operates. g Apply that maxim to any business represeoted in the Leamington list op- posed to the open bar. Manufactur- ng businesses of all aorta take the raw materials of little value and by labor and skill change them into articles of greater s alue and use to the people. By so producing something valuable they add to the wealth of the com- nunity. Mercantile businesee, of all sorts may not be producers, hut by making easy the transfer of goods row the producers to the conservers H legitimate merchants stlmulate'the reduction of something valuable. By doing they take their places as im- portant economic factors in the coun- ty.

But the bar -room stands condemned. t is not a producer of anything valu- ble. As a mercantile business it does of stimulate the production of any- hing valuable. The intoxicants sold t the bar do not add to the physical were and capacities, do not educate he mind or increase its useful tectivi- les, and do not improve the moral tandard or strengthen the sense of noral obligations in those who fee- uent and support the har-room busi- ems. The money spent at the bar is usually taken arum the earnings which tight to go to pay for food, and nthing and fuel, and education, and tter conditions of life alike for the an who spends it and for those de- ndent upon him. Leamington busi- ess men are right in believing that ore legitimate business is done in ny town where the bar -roam is pn.- ihited. There will he fewer hail ebty, and public expenditures will lie laced with the reduction in the amber of criminals, paupers, and in- smpetents due directly or indirectly the operations of the bar -room.• Quite Q apart from pa the moral nal and sal tragedies which every day nark e work of the bar -room, the ruined anhood, the wrecked homes, the rpetuation through after -genera - ons of physictl disease and moral int—apart fm m ell Il that Uha Pa - k P le sort -ow, the bar -room ns an r0 hwrotc parasite and Agent of anomic deterioration is condemned, d its existence anywhere is a public lamity.

Kincardine Paper Wants Municipalities to Take Action. The Kincerdine'Review of lest week said : A recent letter from the Toronto General Trusts Corporation, in reply to an enquiry from our own town council, stated that of the $150,00 bonds guaranteed by Goderich, $152, 50(1 had been expended; and of the amounts guaranteed by Ashfield and Huron township. and Kincardine town $Y41,010.94 had been expended. The latter added : "There is at the present time only a small Milano': at the credit of the Railway Company on our hooks." This is a most iinva'ia- facto,y state of affairs to the munici- palities, each of whom may expect mimosa any day to he called on to make good their guarantee fora year's interest on bones.

To the Adler of Tba ttlttaal Silt,—Permit me the privilege of re- plying to:yourcritici.sm of my let ter, for such I regard it, and not a oomn►eot or discussion on the merits or demerits of Um proposed single tax. You admit the necessity of a tax, and justify the dame by the Government's piotectiou of life and property, and you will admit the person bolding large interests or possessed of great wealth is under gRem tar obligations to his country than the poorer person is. You Wetly admit this In these words : -The poorer man's quarter -acre away trots the centre of the town would be assessed at a lower valuation." Then the only difference between your view and mine would be the question] of exemptions. Still you woide tax the land on the principle of " power to pay " or on actual values, which is the same thing. In your indictment of the principle of " power In pay " you forget that the Gospel taught one-tenth In tithes and offerings on the principle " power to pay," and when it. was not paid the prophet ch rged the people with robbery. You forget the very tax you advocate is a very ancient tax, and to you more than me " old customs die hard." Collier. the English historian, tells ns : "The king who was named the U nfeedy levied a tax called Dane -geld amounting to twelve pekoe In the year upon each hide of land on all classes except the clergy this was the fleet direct and annual tax imposed on the English nation." This tax, as you well know, was a brigand hold-up to pay off the Danish pirates, also levied by the Danes afterward as robbery. So your proposal would be the adoption of the dark ages method of taxation. It would be well could we eliminate poverty, but we cannot. "The poor ye have always with you " is still true. Let us do what we can to relieve the burden. The exemption of the rich must necessarily increase the burden. Mr. Editor, you know and we all know the remitting of building taxes would relieve the rich and oppress the poor. This movement is undonbt edly in fever of and in the interests of the wealthy. Of the local option phase of the pro- posal you have wisely said little, for little can be said in its favor. I admit the simplicity of a single land tax. hit i deny the justice of it. The principle of " fairness sod equity" is of more importance than simplicity. The poor mat, will be fined immeasur- ably more by the additional land tax to make up for the exemptions of the rich.' I concur with you as to the impor- tance of discussing intelligently through the press. In this way our representatives can learn the mind and wish of the people. Thanking you for space and courteous treatment. M I.M'K HA RT. Legal Notes. Mr. Justice Teetzel has given ntdg- ment in the case of Dietrich v.
