The county council "turned down" the request for a grant for a publicity campaign for Huron. Though there was apparently a good des' of sympathy with the proposal, the majority of the members appeared to test that the matter had not been sufficiently discussed to warrant them in voting a granL Itis unfortunate, in the opinion of The Signal. that this view prevailed, as the control of any money granted could have been retained by the council through n committee. However. the duty ot those who advocaat etwoard mo went foe this conw111 be 10 ‘11.481p the publicity projs.t to the trout 'in every possible way and to impress upon the people of Huron the urgent need of doing something along this line to check the depopulation of the county. The council passed a vote of 52110 for a display of Huron county fruit at the Provincial horticultural show at Toronto next fall. This is a step in the tight direction. It was decided also to request the Provincial Depart- ment of Agriculture to appoint a district representative for this county. THE MARRIAGE LAW. Judgment has been handed down by the Supreme Court efCanada upon the reference to it by the Dominion Government of questions concerning the marriage laws in Canada. These questions arose in consequence of the promulgatiou of the "ne temere" de- cree and the Hebert marriage case in the Province of Quebec Mr. Lancas- ter. a member of the Dominion Parlia- ment, introduced in the House of Gomtuoos a bill designed to provide a uniform marriage law for Canada and declaring that no matriage performed in Canada sbould be rendered invalid or affected in any way by an cburcb decree. Doubt was ezpresied as to the power of the Federal Parliament to enact such a law, ea legiela- Goo respecting the solemnisation of marriage is within the juriadic• tion of 'the Provincial Legielaturee, and it was decided to refer the wbole matter to the Supreme Court for • determination of the legal and constitutional aspects of the ques- tions in dispute. The Supreme Court now declares that the Federal Parliament has no tionstitotiorial power to pass the Lan- caster hill. A majority- of the five judges say that the law of tbe Prov. ince of Quebec does not render null and void a marriage between ()litho lib not solemnised before a Roman Catholic priest; while M regard to .'mixed marriage." (that is. marriages between persons one of whom le • Protestant and the other a Catholic/ the unanimous finding is that such marriages are legal whether performed by a Catholic or by a Protestant clergy moo. The result is that, while the Lan- caster bill is impoasltle. the reasons for presenting such a bill to Parlia- ment bay.o lamely disappeared. Under the law of Quebec, according to the finding n1 the Court, Catholic priests bare no greater powers than Protestant clergymen la the solemnis- ation of marriage. The matter will be carried to the Privy °ouneil. so that it may he easily determined and all do.ba M to the state of the law est at rest EDITORIAL MOTSA.

Well. up In this corner of the vineyard, anyway, he indications that way are not alarming. Canada has two new knights—Sir Rodmond Palen Roblin. Premier of Manitoba, and Sir Richard McBride. Premier of British Columbia. This is a big country, and a "Sir" here and there is not much of • nuisance. It is great fun to see (Conservative protectionist papers arguing for tariff reduction in the case of the duty on cement, while they would be se -andel - by the application of their ergo- ts to the tariff in general. "The forestry department finds that more end more is Canada's pulpwood being manufactured at home instead of being shipped as raw material to some other country." Aod thiswith- out the adoption of the foolish proposal of an export duty on pulpwood. Church gatherings have been dis- cussing the propose/ to banish the bar in Ontario. Not one of them peened a resolution endorsing Hon. Mr. Han- na's remark that the Rowell policy is a "joke." But the sense of humor is rot much in evidence et clerical gath- erings. The roads of Huron county are better than some ; but at the same time an appropriation from the county council, auppiemeated by the county's share of the Provincial gond roads grant. could be profitably spent ie making permanent improvements in the highways. The Ottawa Government has added a coneidersble number of articles to the list of goods that may be imported into Canada free of duty. These .erticles are raw materials (Or !manu- facturers. Where doe. the ettttatmer come In? Isn't it worth while to "mi- nder his interests, too ? The late Liberal Government was to receive tariff concessions from the United Stales in return for the reduc- tion of ('anadian duties. The Borden Governmett is securing nothing in return for the larger market it is con- ceding to United States cement manu- facturers. However, the reduction of duty is • good thing in itaeif. A bumper crop of wheat is expected in the West this year. This means more orders for the feetories of East- ern Canada, and at the same time it means anotber rush of people to the West from the Eastern Provinces, So, while Western prosperity makes busi- ness for Eastern manufacturers, it in- creases the dioiculty of securing labor to tarry on that business. How the game is going to end is a nice little puzzle for somebody to figure out.

Tax Reform. t%-ood.tock Sent.oei-tie'. leo. • According to the Toronto papers public sentiment is rapidly developing there in favor of tax reform. The as- sessment department and the court of revision have both endorsed the gen- eral principle, and there is a propos► that a referendum be taken at the next municipal election. The idea presumably is that if the people sbould strongly endorse the pron reform the Legislature 'night ben- dured to grant spent! legtslation for the acoommodation of Toronto. The 'Toronto Star, discussing the matter editorially, rays : "Toronto is waking up to the seriousness of a sit- uation which penalizes the man who builds a bouse, and rewards the man who speculates in vacant lots ; which discourages the fresh coat of paint, and the new roof, and the added ver- andah. ft is bad enough when these things are assessed on a par with the land, a1 the law provides. But in Tor- onto they are assessed on a scale twice as high as that which is applied to the lot on which the only improvements are burdocks and thistles, 'lbs Star adds that in Toronto houses are as- sessed to nearly their full value, and in acme cases to more than their value, while vacant lots pay taxes oo only half their selling price. It requires no great gift of insight to nee the unfairness of such a system. And the injustice is not restricted to Toronto. It is common throughout the whole Province. A good many people. who would not care, for the present. at least, to go the whole length of a single tax on land values, would strongly support a change which would permit of discrimination in favor of improvements as against land valises created by the commnnity, the discrimination to Se ezereised at the discretion of the people of the community who might veryyell be trusted to use their own ju meat in Bush a matter. The chief o ject.ions urged against the proposal are that. it savors of Henry Georgiem, anti that it would make for the adoption of a "checker board" system.
