in • discussion in the Leggy%Iat'11't• oil
Monday it was Made clear that the
Government helot() intention of com-
pensating liquor-lealers whose busi-
ness will be affected 'by the prohibi-
tion n'easure.
It is said the druggists do not want
to haste anything to do with" the sale
of liquor, as proposed in the new Pro-
vincial temperance act. The booze
business appears to be rather unpopu-
lar these days.
A proposal to abolish the property
qualification for members of municipal
councils was introduced in the Legis-
lature by Mr. Ham. the member from
Brantford, but was rejected by the
Government. The law as rt fest pres-
ent keeps out of municipal office Bowe
men whom their fellow -electors would
gladly see at the council board.
•Seven hundred recruits were ob-
tained in Toronto last week. in pro
portion to population this would be
about the same as seven in Godet ich.
Uodetich has been doing a good deal
better than that. It is just as well
not to be discouraged because we can-
not raise a battalion a5 quickly as
other placee with greater populations
to draw upon.
A resolution in favor of Dominion
wide prohibition was defeated in the
11 .use of Commons .Monday night by
She adoption of an amendment leav-
ing the liquor question with the Pro-
vincial i.egislatures. Party lines were

jority was mainly composed of Con-
servatit es and the minority mainly of
Lilwreile. None of the three members
from Huron recorded his vote.
find that Britain has one fighUoft mast
for every ten of population. This is
fifty per cent. more already ammen-
plishrd than Canada has bet out to do,
and nearly three times tetter than
Canada has so tar done. 1t is a
wonderful record for a non•tutlitntist

rations in euplw.rt of her alliee, the way
in which she has raised and organized
fighting forces of ell kinds --infantry,
artillery, aircraft, etc -has shown
ul.rvrllous repwnircr and power. There
will always be aro+kilt••, of course ;
but the rtoakrrs in Britain at the pres-
ent time should have a small audience.
For a paper that seems to fancy
itself somewhat as an authority in
economics., The Weekly Sou bas some
queer notion• abut taxat' . For
aunts time it put forth the contention
that because the Uotniniun, l'iovin-
riot and 'icipal taxer added to-
gether blade such a goat sum it
would lw iuipatbtl.le for the taxpayer
to pay such sir amount eh Id the

still badly clouded. It now states
that the single taxers ( the single tax
ie a pet hug. y of The Sun 1 "propose
no means W prevent the shifting of
III ban raze% it/ the farmers' •houldere."
Unless we have been reading The Sun
amiss all these years, it has leen op
posing rt.rtowt taxation right along
largely on the ground that it enables
the "inteieste- to shift the burden
upon the farmers. With the single
tax there would be no customs duties,
and yet The Sun argues that the same
state of affairs would exist without a
cuetows tariff a% now exists i ecattee
of it. With free competition - and
the single t ix implies free competi-
tion - how could the city man make
the taunter pay his taxes, any more
than the farmer could wake the city
man pay his? Really The Bun ought
to do wine thinking before it commits
itself to such arrant nonsense as it has
leen giving its readers on lb' question
of land ,taxation. When a small
block of city land is held es a higher
price than a hundred -acre farin, and
men receive enormous incomes from
land values which they did little or
nothing to create. farmers all over the
country are "seeing the point," even
it The Bun cannot.
A QUESTION OF SALARY.
Windror Record.
There is • disposition to attack the
salary of Hon. 1. H. bleats. His te-
tnunetation as Attorney-tienersl, as
member of the Hydro -electric Com-
mission and a: member of the Legis-
lature is 1111 1,4011. if there is to be any
attack it should no'. be upon what
Mr. Lucas receives but upon the beg-
garly salsa les which this rich Prov-
ince is willing to pay to other Prov-
incial Miniaterv.-Toronto News.
The salary Hon. Mr. Lucas receives
is almost as much as is paid Sir Robert
Borden, Prime Minirter, whose al-
lowance is 812,(1011, and is considerably
higher than the amount paid Domin-
ion Cabinet Ministers, which is 87,0011.
