EDITORIAL NOTES
The financial statement of the Do-
minion for the month of December em'
phasizes the continued falling off in
revenues which will be the serious
taxation problem the Government will
have to solve when Parliament meets.
Since the outbreak of the war there
has been a decrease of nearly $17,000,-
000 in total revenue, as compared with
the last four months of 1013. For
December the decrease was $3,763,526,
as compared with the preceding Decem-
ber. For the full calendar year the
figures are still more ominous. The
total revenue for the past twelve
months was $135,893,766, a decrease of
no less than $44,621,299, as compared
with 1913 On the other hand, the ex-
penditures for the ordinary cost of ad-
ministration have increased by more
than $15,000,000, and in consequence
the national debt has made an unparal-
leled jump during the course of the
year. At the end of December last the
net debt stood at $276,744,164, as com-
pared with $303,502,104 at the end of
1913, an increase of a little more than
$73,000,000 during the course of the
year.
The war curiously enough has not
affected the stamp issue in Canada.
Instead of decreasing it has grown, a
fact which doubtless is due in part to so
many Canadians being in the old country
and the heavy correspondence taking
place with them. The issue in Decem-
ber totalled $1,720,492.43, as compared
with $1,661,099.89, an increase of $58,-
492.54. As against December 10years
ago, this is an increase of over a million
dollars. For the nine months of the
fiscal year the stamp revenue was $11,-
189,'780.31. an increase of $66,074 65
over the same period of 1913.

Death has again been in our midst
and this time claimed as a victim Geo.

pioneer of this locality. in his 83rd year.
Daceased had not been in good Isealth for
about a year, but only two weeks pre-
vious to his death was the heart trouble
from which lie suffered, critical, when
medical aid and good nursing proved of
no avail. With great patience Mr:
Nicholson bore his sufferings until
death released him on Wednesday, Dec.
23rd. The early part of his life was
spent in Ramsay township with his
parents, coming in the year 1856 to the
sixth concession of Turnberry he took
up a farm in the bush which he cleared,
and built for himself every comfortable
home, and where through years of per-
severance, shrewd business judgment
and economy he acquired a liberal
amount of this world's- goods. In 1860
he married Jane K. Gemmill, who prov-
ed a splendid helpmate to him, and to-
gether they experienced the hardships
and sacrifices of pioneer days. In 1900
they left the farm and took up their
residence in Wingham where they lived
for a short time, then moving to
Wroxeter. Mrs. Nicholson predeceased
her husband thirteen years ago. One
adopted son, Mr. Allan Fralick, who is
on the old farm, three brothers and two
sisters, who will have the sympathy of
the community Survive, The funeral
took place on Sunday afternoon to the
Wroxeter cemetery and was largely at'
tended. The service was conducted by
Rev. Mr. Wesley. Mr. Nicholson was
a Liberal in politics and a member of
