Wholesale Drug Association Kick

TonntNAL- FEBRUARY NUMBER - Two
'111. very Important lneetiugs have just taken
place in Montreal -The Wholesale Drug
Association of Canada and the Proprie-
tary Trade Assoolatiou of Canada -
These meetings were both held for the
purpose of considering the War Taxes
proposed and which very seriously af-
fect both the ManufacturerscE Medicine
and Perfumes and the trade of the dis-
l;' tributors-eThe Wholesale Druggists.
A general meeting of the Retail Drug-
gists has been called and will take place
this week -A reconsideration has been
asked of the Government and a deputa-
tion will present the views of the ttades
interested at an early date.
r The objections to the new measure
of taxation as voiced in these meetings
with unanimity are several in number.
The tax proposed, it was shown, amount-
ed to frons 15% to 40% on the usual trade
selling prices. The tax being imposed
on the price of sale at retail to the public
represented on that basis of ealculatiou
from 5o to 20%. No other business or
industry was taixed to any such extent,
and many important lives would actual-
ly face ruin if the measure was persisted
,p in by the Government.
Instead of yielding y e ding for the war a
"]I large amount the prohibitory nature of
tbe Tax would defeat the object sought
and ruin r
i
nxospe nus and legitimate
business enterprise in manufacturing,
The Minister of Finance will be an-
.,: i proaehed on the basis of asking idvesti•
,y'nation in detail, it being claimed that
the treatment of the manufacturers and
fl. dealers as well in the branch affected, is
unfair and unjust. The goods involved
it tau be sbown cannot stand any suchcharge, and also have already been taxed
for the same purpose in respect to all
the crude materiel employed in manta
facturing same.
The general tariff advance of 7n•% ap.
plies to the ingredients used and as well
also certain rt advances enacted last year

Annual Meeting of Canadian
Red Cross .Society.
.
The following interesting report
was prepared by Mrs. Colson, of Sea -
forth, who attended the annual meet-
ing of the Red Cross Sneiety at Tor-
onto and read at the Meal Hartnett 0n
her return. THE POST is indebted to
Mrs, P. Scott, Brussels, for the use of
it for publication after it being react
at Brussels Breach of Ole Red Oros
Society and also at the Wowen's In-
isttute :-
The annual meeting of the Cana-
dian Red Cross Society was held on
Friday, January 22nd in 0011%10E/W011
Hall, Toronto University, and in
spite of the terrible blizzard which
was raging at the time there was a
large attendance of both ladies and
gentlemen, most of the ladies having
their knitting. Boy Scones, under a
Scout master, all in fell uniform,
were the ushers, and during the as-
sembling of the people the beautiful
organ in Convocation Hall was play-
ed ending with the National Anthem
at the arrival of the Duke of Con-
naught and the officers of the Council
of the Canadian Red Cross Society.
The President, Lieut. Col. G. Sterling
Ryerson was in the chair. After
Bishop Reeve, of Toronto, had opened
the meeting with prayer, His Royal
Highness the Duke of Connaught,
dressed in full I4ahki uniform, ad-
dressed the meeting and said -"I
have Dome here today puposely to
tell you how I appreciate the work
the people of Canada are doing for the
Red Cross Society. I have followed
with the deepest interest the splendid
manner in which the whole of Canada
has responded to the support of the
Red Cross Society and I am aware
that there is 1101 a village in the
,vhele of the Dominion where the
people are not winking, subscrib.
ing, or doing both. Only a few days
ago I received a letter from my sister,
the Princess Christian, who is one of
the oldest, if not the oldest member
of the British Red Cross Society ask-
ing me to convey to the people of
Canada her most grateful and limit -
felt thanks for the gift of a coach fur
the Hospital' train, which she is
organizing. I am also very glad to
know that the order of the St. John
of Jerusalem is working with the Red
Cross in Canada as it is in Britain.
The reports testify to the careful a(1 -
ministration and excellent work
done by the Society. Excellent
hospitals have been established by
the nrgauizatioo both at the front and
in England. The manner in which
the Red Cross Society and the Arany
Medical Department are co.npereting
is also a source oP1'-t

The President, Lieut. Col. Ryerson,
was the 1153C1 to speak. He said -"It

Sir John Gibson, after moving the
adoption of air. Marshall's report and
commending the great work he had
done, said, "The people of Canada are
a peaceful people and in lime of peace
forget all )about war. Ever since the
South African war the Society
has 50110 along 0u practically

hard to keep it going at all. \Viten
war broke out in South Africa, Dr.
Sterling Myerson was the President,
and he himself went out as com-
missioner t0 `see that everything was
properly distributed, and investigated
everything, leaving everything at
home in my hands. \Vhen peace was
deflared there was some $0,000 in the
treasury which has, since that time,
been 111 .trust and was the neat -egg %1'e
had to start out with at the outbreak
of the pee80111 war." The treasurer,
Col. the Hon. ,lames Mason, then read
his report which showed theft the re-
ceipts of the Society for the past year
were 1$270,201 in cash. The motion
for the adoption was moved by Col.
G. A. Sweuy who said, "Qur work is
roily just beginning. We must be
patient, and still more patient, and
still make greater sacrifices, and when
I appeal ill behalf of this time charity
I know that Canadians will give us

Mrs, Plumtree, Superintendent of
