TOItONTO, Dec. 23. •Judge, Me- Gibbon of Brampton has rendered a decision it favor of the plaintiff le the action brought by Judge Morson against the City of Toronto, to re- cover taxes pail: by him under pro- test on his income received by him from the Dominion Government as a judge of the County Court of i'ork. The' Judgment is of considerable im- portance to Dominion Government of- ficials in Ontario at least, and' w'-1 likely be followed all over Canada.; fere thy written arguments on all as- pects of the question mere submitte by R. A. Reid, counsel for Judge ,:arson, and be \v uiLaln Johustin anu 13. W. Essery, counsel for the City of Toronto. Judge McGibbon holds that no au- thority can be found in the British North America Act authorizing the imposition of an income tax on Dom- -111 Government ,officials by, or through municipalities under the au- thority of provincial legislation, and that under a Federal system of gov- erainent such -s' obtains in Canada, one .; overnthent cannot tax another, nor tax the means and instrumentali- ties used by each, such as officials and employes to engaged in maintain- ing Y sad carrying on its powers and authority and the various depart- ments ofgovernment, and executing and administering the law and other Axl ties of state. lie also holds that the Ontario As- :,es:,lent Act does not authorize the ituposition of any. such tax on Fed eral officers, but that, on the con- trary, the act impliedly exempts then. s out such tax, and does not appil to Canadian Government officials at all. He says the weight of judicial decision and authority is all against the contentions of the defendant, and relied up- on Privy Council decision. re ed - p vn by"the City of Toronto isa- pnot t licable to the Canadian constitu- don) When interviewed last night, City, Solicitor Johnston' said he had not yet received oi;icial notification of the judgment. He stated that it would be,inapossible for the city to appeal since the amount in question was less than $100. Until the text of the judgment was in his hands, Mr. John- ston stated that he would not be pre- pared to state what he would recoui- eiend the city to do as to the general ,i•oposition involved.

Do you ever realize that each one of those "cases" -mere items in an official record -is a black tragedy to somebody, that behind each one of thein lies long, hopeless days of pain, feverish nights of despair, lifetime plans that must be laid away, grinding poverty, perhaps a wife to fig* her own way afterwards or children wits know hunger now that the father is gone, Jost suppose it were your . tragedy. Suppose it were your father, your mother, ynex brother, sister, husband, wife, your. child, or perhaps your sweetheart, and you with the hospital doors shut in your face, wringing your hands in utter helplessness while the crowds hurry by, engrossed in their own affairs. But not You are in that crowd and rote don't hear either because you are busy. But wouldn't you give -and gladly -if you knew that what meant so little to you would go far to bring back the glow to somebody's wan face or the laughter to somebody's lips?

TOItONTO, Dec. 23. •Judge, Me- Gibbon of Brampton has rendered a decision it favor of the plaintiff le the action brought by Judge Morson against the City of Toronto, to re- cover taxes pail: by him under pro- test on his income received by him from the Dominion Government as a judge of the County Court of i'ork. The' Judgment is of considerable im- portance to Dominion Government of- ficials in Ontario at least, and' w'-1 likely be followed all over Canada.; fere thy written arguments on all as- pects of the question mere submitte by R. A. Reid, counsel for Judge ,:arson, and be \v uiLaln Johustin anu 13. W. Essery, counsel for the City of Toronto. Judge McGibbon holds that no au- thority can be found in the British North America Act authorizing the imposition of an income tax on Dom- -111 Government ,officials by, or through municipalities under the au- thority of provincial legislation, and that under a Federal system of gov- erainent such -s' obtains in Canada, one .; overnthent cannot tax another, nor tax the means and instrumentali- ties used by each, such as officials and employes to engaged in maintain- ing Y sad carrying on its powers and authority and the various depart- ments ofgovernment, and executing and administering the law and other Axl ties of state. lie also holds that the Ontario As- :,es:,lent Act does not authorize the ituposition of any. such tax on Fed eral officers, but that, on the con- trary, the act impliedly exempts then. s out such tax, and does not appil to Canadian Government officials at all. He says the weight of judicial decision and authority is all against the contentions of the defendant, and relied up- on Privy Council decision. re ed - p vn by"the City of Toronto isa- pnot t licable to the Canadian constitu- don) When interviewed last night, City, Solicitor Johnston' said he had not yet received oi;icial notification of the judgment. He stated that it would be,inapossible for the city to appeal since the amount in question was less than $100. Until the text of the judgment was in his hands, Mr. John- ston stated that he would not be pre- pared to state what he would recoui- eiend the city to do as to the general ,i•oposition involved.
