Poll Tax for Women.
'rhe extension of the franchise to wo-
olen in Ontario may rn'ea 1 an increase
in revenue to many Ontario Municipali-
ties. At the present time municipali-
ties have 111e right to impose a poll tax
of one dollar upon all men not other-
wise taxed, and it is stated that with
adult suffrage in force municipalities
may be riven the right to extend the
poll tax to cover women as well, carry-
ing out the principle of equal privileges
and equal responsibilities. The point
will likely he decided by the Govern -

National Service Literature.
One of the most valuable of recent
literary contributions to the great cause
]s a booklet by Professor Stephen Lea-
cock, entitled "National O1'gallilati011
for War." 111 this booklet Dr. Leacock
slakes an urgent call for national thrift
and national saving. He attacks in vig-
orous style the evils of extravagance at
this crisis in Canada's history, and by
trenchant phrase and apt illustration
disposes of various common errors in

,00mmonwealtb, which iu its emateltn-
'eat parts may be separate as tl:e
lingers, but in its totality is one Gs
the hand.
Something even more important is
slow clearly recognized by the
thoughtful observer, The war has
'demonstrated the existence througb•
out Canada of vast reserve powers of
iaighteousness and love and has proved
Itinat they can be sunhmosed and mar-
ishalled on behalf of an enterprise
'that kindles the imagination, grips
+the heart, and rouses the determine,
ition of the people. There Is evidently
.an enlightened and sensitive public
moral consciousness which is of
;greater 'value to our country than all
the wealth with which the Creator
'Iles stored its land and water. Only
too numerous and scandalous, it is
true, are the instances of unscrupu-
lous and treasonable conduct which
n'ecemtiy have been brought to light
'through our courts and commissions.
But the very thoroughness with which
all such proceedings have been con.
demned and their agents repudiated,
and the universal and insistent de -
weed -,tor radical action in other
asses of a like nature, gives ground
dor the conviction that the old virtues
mf truth and honor are securely en-
ithmned in our midst. And more par-
iiitulerly may be noted the extraor-
dinary display during the war of that
mutual kindness which underlies all
ty,igher phases of social evolution, and
la essential to national fitness. The
ishoak of combat with our cruel and
mighty foe has released aa.110od of
sympathy and good -will that has
cleansed and fertilized our land and
prepared the soli for rich harvests
in the days to come.
Naturally, therefore, we are look-
dng for a greater Canada henceforth:
not as regards territory, nor primate
fly in growth of population, nor in -
',crease of material development, but
greater in quality of spirit and ex•
ipressfon of life. And we are sure
that such a hope will be abundantly
:realized, provided that these ethical
mowers am'd this moral passion bo con•
tserved and augmented, and enlisted
.tor national progress after the war.
:Especially must this "fusing kindle
Zess," now so much in evidence, be-
'eome even more general and active;
for the strain and irritation of the
13eadjusting process when normal
;times return will be severe and den-
gerous.1.Mnny of the forces now
working together for the winning of
the war will afterward become again
,antagonistic and divisive, and there
will be an imperative need for that
kindness and forbearance which are
indispensable to national unification
in thought and action. Our genuine
soolal upbuilders will be those who
strive with energy to bring Canadtane
together in larger bodies of mutual
appreeiatlon and good -'Evill, and so ex-
tend the reach and increase the eiree-
tiveness of kindly feeling. And any
proposal merits our cordial Support
CnauLes G. PATEIhSON, D.D.
which will promote closer fusion of
minds and more mingling of emotions
with fellowship, aiding In the weld-
ing of an entire people into a moral
unity.
Ono such proposal is that which
would merge the Methodist, Congre-
gational and Presbyterian Churches
into the United Church of Canada.
No one would pretend that this union
of churches would furnish the key to
milennial condttions. A change to
ecclesiastical organization, on how
ever large a scale, could not insure a
higher type of national character and
life. But such action taken by more
than half a million of our adult cite
tens would have a very great effect
for good upon themselves as Cana-
dians, and would make it easier for
other union movements to come to
maturity. The tendency to -day is to-
ward greater simplicity and flexibil-
ity of structure in every province of
life, and toward united emphasis up-
on the essentials held in common in
every department of thought and be-
lief, Let this trend of sentiment and
conviction find expression in the call-
ing tato existence of one great Church
to take the place of three lesser
bodies, and it will be seen that some-
times the whole is greater than the
sum of all its parts.
Should these hundreds of thousand&
of our church members take this step,
,of
wouldin so doing lay upon the
altar of true patriotism the sacrifice
of inherited customs, tender associ-
ations, deep-rooted preferences and
cherished opinions. Such a sacrlftce
would be oost3y and hard to snake -
but the reaction upon those who onion,'
ed it would be most wholesome. Ire
losing their denominational life fon
