There 1s a good deal of criticism of
the action of the Provincial Govern-

Moat of these instltutioos have found

them will be wellnigh hopeless.
The cwnty council's contribution of

At the coming session of Perllamaot

count.
ie -count. Canada ha at war and • united
front should be presented. This does
not mean, biwever, that there should
o at be serious discussion and, if need
he, criticism along lines calculated to
secure good results. Por instance,
Nome light should be let in on the
1 subject of army contracts sod on the
reported cases of graft in furnishing
war supplies. 11 is 10 the Whitest of
all good citizens that publicity be
given to such cases and that crepe be
taken to .rued any repetition of div
boniest practices, if there have been
any. The revenue question also will
be prom •neat . The Pinner Min retire
will have to find additional revenues
somewhere, but any addillooal tare -
lion should be levied without plans(
an unfair burden upon those wbo are
already bard pressed. The wage-
earner with a family oeewearily
spends the great portion of bis inoope
on food and clothing. wbile'otber men
with larger incomes may spend no
more, or even tees, on the Decrier iee
of life. It would be unfair, then, to
place a heavier load on the already
burdened wore-. iron by increasing
the taxation on articles of food and
clothieg. The asaesetry eevm.ls
may be robed is other ways.
