Reform in Taxation A petition is now being widely circu- lated throughout the province asking the Legislative Assembly to reduce the taxation on buildings and other im- provements, or else to allow the Muni- cipalities so to do. The reason the advocates of this re form urge for such a change, is the manner in which the present law dis- criminates against those who employ labor in improving their property, or in the manufacture of goods, It is pointed out that these are two methods of securing wealth from the land. One method clears, fences, erects buildings, raises crops or manufactures goods The man who thus uses the land is lay every productive act industriously. honestly and beneficently adding to the prosperity of the nation, and if a man thus acquires wealth, he does it in a way that injures no one. On the other hand a man may keep land in idleness, employ no labor, add nothing whatever to prosperity; but he may actually injure the country, by retarding and scattering settlement, and by keeping labor in enforced idle ness. He may simply wait till increas- ed settlement and the industry and en- terprise of his neighbors have made that land valuable, as is always the case in growing cities. Now, here are two uses, or rather a use of land and an abuse of land.One man uses land to beget wealth by his industry, the other uses it to secure wealth at the expense of others. The one use is beneficent and should heen- couraged, the other is injurious and should be discouraged. It is claimed that our present laws encourage the misuse of the laud, for, if a man im- proves hie land in any way, the law iu sists that his taxes must be increased so that thebetter a man does for hie country, the worse the , country 'does for him. The speculator on the othra hand by avoiding improvement, keep - down his taxes. It is further claimed that in our farm' cities the land value rises to such error mous figures, thatthe land owners may collect from $10,000 to $50,000 per nen per annum, and such is the reiatiot that this begets in society that wliili the farmer must toil industriously to w.raia;fit+. raise a crop every year er humanity, would starve, the collectors of these land values need provide nothing for humanity, and yet reap the profit of many farms, Thus while one part of the community must toil energetically to maintain the burden of society, in- cluding the taxation for Government, and yet enjoy but little of its benefits, another class may enjoy the blessings of civilization to overflowing, and yet be relieved in perpetuity from any of its burdens And it is further pointed out that the making of publicimprove- ments, such as highways and other means of communication, while increas- ing the burden of taxation on industry brings additional fortune to the ground lords who cotleet the enhanced land values in the centres of commerce. Thus the burden to one part of society means riches to the other part. The inequality it is sought to remedy by asking the Legislature to diminish the taxation on buildings and other improvements and thus increase taxes in land values, Around About Us.

In a short time the house was full of smoke and rushing• down stairs it was found that the base board below the • window and the carpet were burning raenely. The lace curtains and window shade were already burned to atoms, and the frame of the window was blistered. A pail of water quickly put out the fire, but had it not been discovered when it was nothing could have saved the build- ing, as the wind was blowing a gale. There was not a cent of insurance. The match must have fallen from the pot to the lace curtains, the ends of which laid upon the floor. It was a close call.

The total receipts from all sources were $2,782 24, which, after meeting all expanses, leaves a balance in the hands of the treasurer, of $55. Of the above amount $834 was contrib- uted to the schemes of the church, the largest amount given for that object in the history of the congregation. Earn- est words of hearty appreciation of the pastor's untiring efforts on behalf of the congregation were s poken, and by un- animous yore his salary was increased $200, making it $1,200 a year.
