• • REFORM IN TAXATION.
•
A petition is now being widely cir-
culated throughout the Province ask-
ing the Legislative Assembly to reduce
the taxation on buildings and other
improvements, or nut to allow the
Municipalities so to do. The reason
the advocates of this reform urge for
• such a change,. is the manner in which
the present law discriminates against
Mase who employ labor in improving
the it property, or in the manufacture
:c goods. It is pointed out that there
.tire two methods of securing wealth
from the land. One method cleats,
fences,• erects buildings, raises crops or
lmannfactures goods. The maul who
;thus uses the land is by ('very prochict-
live art industriously, honestly and
beneficently adding to the prosperity
Of the nation. and 1f a man thus ac -
spikes wealth, he does it in a way that
• injures no one. On the other hand a
man may keep landin idleness, employ
:to labor. add nothing whatever to
prosperity 1 but he may actually injure
the country, retarding and scattering
.settlement, and by keeping labor in
enforced d idleness. He may simply
wait till increased settlement and the
industry and enterprise of his neigh-
bors have made that land valuable, as
is always the case in growing towns.
Now. here are two uses, or rather a
use of land and an a1same
Cf Iancl. Oiie man uses land to
beget wraith by 11i8 industry, the other
uses it t(1 Secure wealth at tho an-
ensc (if others. The one use is beue-
neent and should be encouraged, the
ether is injurious and should be dis-
couraged. It is claimed that aur pres-
ent latus encourage this misuse of the
land, fors if a elan improves his land
in man way. the law insists . that his
taxes must be increased, so that the
better a man does for his country, the
worse the country does for him: The
speculator on the other hand by avoid -
mg itisprevelnent, keeps down his
taxes. It is further claimed that in
our large cities the land value raises to
such'enorinous figures, that the land
• owner may collect from $10,000 to
$50.0111 per a(;re per annum, and such
is the relation that this . begets in
Society that while the fanner roust
toil industriously to raise a crop every
year or humanity would starve, the
.collectors of these laud values need
• provide nothing for humanity, and
yet resin~ the profit of many farms.
.Thus \vhtic our part of the community
'must toil encrgetieally toulaintaain the
burden of so(•iety, ineltuling the tax-
ation ?or (}overninent, and yet enjoy
b; 5 •little of its benefits, another class
ludas enjoy the blessings of civilization
t-) ti etlioWing, and yet be relieved in
-porpet ctity froiu qtly of its burdens.
'Ansi it is further pointed out that the
inakiug oa public improvements, such
a* hilglrvoays and other means of coin-
•nuiuic:at.iori, while increasing the
boraleta of taxation or industry, brings
tuldit•'.nutl fortune to the ground lords
who eolieei the enhanced land values
in the eetlti's of continent.. Thus the
airdul) to true past of society gleans
/lies to the other part. This inequal-
ity it is ought to remedy by asking
the 1,'•..e,islatuae til deminish the tax -

tween 5,000 and (3,00(1 on the lists, but
to be within the mark we will call it
3,000. Out of 5,000 votes 3,628 were
polled leaving a balance of 1,372 votes
not polled Under ordinary civenul-
stances, as will be seen by comparing
the figures for the different elections,
Mr. V4 eisiniiler would liar': e received
att least two-thirds of tale lurpolled
vote and gained a great victory. Under
the circumstances the conservatives
of West Huron put up one of the best

result goes to show that if the party
are united for „the general, election
West Hawaii will return "it Oon.,5 er-

Wilfrid Laurier the Ulan who publicly stated
that he thanked his God there were no orange -

Protestants who are loudest in their howl
against the re-establLehment of Separate
