WHY TAX [MOW
A good instance of the injustice of the
present syatcw of taxing food is fur-
nished by the egg market, Them is •
uty of three cents a dozen on eggs.
presumably to help the Canadian ben
u overcome the severe climate that
buts off her winter activities. lo Mon -
real last week there was an agitation
oecause strictly fresh . ga were being
sold around tIn cents a dozen, with the
probability they would go op to 75
cents before the winter was over.
In reply to public clamour, the lead-
og egg brokers took stuck of the pool -
ion and issued a statement. Th is show-
ed that therm were only 31,7116 cases of
ggs in storage so Moutresl ; that the
average consumption ior3lonlreal war
7(H) cares x week and that the first
`anadian supplies of eggs could not

That is. the present supply will he
xhau.ttd under normal conditions by
he first of January. and between that
late and March 1st every egg eaten in
Montre.ol will, have to he Imported
probable mumu the Southern States,
where the wilder cliiiiate encourager
heap egg production.
Pra-tic.Ily similar Conditpre-
vail at every big centre of population
is Canada. For years past the Cana-
dian hen has not produced enough eggs
o supply the population. and every
Winter the large cold 'storage firms
have had to import thousands upon
housaods of cases.
The position is sitnple. In summer,
when the Causdian barn -yards are pro-
ductive. there is no need tor protection
of eggs. In the winter there is no
need of it because there is practically
no production to prutec t -f or the same
eliutaticiveson that oranges are not
grown here. Why then should the
public be compelled to pay three cents
a dozen to the government on top of
the already extortionate price of the
eggs? Why should the invalid poor,
to whom fresh eggs might mean pro-
longation of life, be taxed this way for
the benefit of no one but an extrava-
gant administration?
If The Hawk believed In hanging, he
would say without hesitation, that It
was too good fora oleo of people not
only to this town but in every other
town who knock it and everybody in
it. Such vouchers are no use to
themselves or anybody else end the
sooner the town gets rid of them, the
better off it will be. Advance and
progtese should be the watchword of
all progressive citizens otherwise e
town or city cannot hope to succeed.
, The Hawk wasin Toronto the other
day when be wet on old friend. "Hel-
lo. Bill. Old Man ! lint your new flat
epartwent fitted up'' he stelute] bite,
"Not yet". answered Bill, ••1 am still
looking for a place where i can buy a
folding toothbrush."
Althotfh he is ashamed of himself.
The Hawk war 111 police court the
other day when ••Mike" was escorted
in by the chief.
"What is your nacre asked the
beak.
"Mike, your honor.-
' our full name," queried the
bench.
'Just the same, your honor. drunk
or sober." replied the prisoner.
The Hawk hopes that be will be
p.tdooed for remarking that the local
auctioneer is a shrewd business man
and this lies in the fact that he never
smiles. Although after The Hawk
heard how a local farmer tried to take
him in. he does cot wonder at it.
The other day a very successful
homer drove in to town from the direc-
tion of 4)ungannon to sell a horse to
Mr. Local Auctioneer. Now, this
farmer knew that the horse was brok-
en -winded and gave it a drug to keep
the animal from "blowing,' Ar'ri'ving
in town he was asked to pace his hone
around the &quare. He did so and
then halted in front of the might -be
buyer. -Nice coat ; nice jacket." .aid
the owner, stroking the horse's flank.
"That's all right," said the auction-
eer. "hut 1 do not like his pacts."
A rumor has ren^bed the ''hearers
of The Hawk that Mr. Joseph Kidd is
heeding a local aggregation papering
to go to Winnipeg to "fight it out"
with the anti -House Ruler there.
instead of going to Ireland to measure
swords it has teen suggested that they
meet at Fort William and there have
the tussle. The Hawk is going to ask
permirsion to go along to see the fun,
as be had every confidence itfohc local
railway magnate.
