A more complete obituary of the late Mr, Jackson will be given next week, The New War Loan OFrom Toronto Globe/ The terms of the new war loan, prospectus of which ispublished to day, conform to the expectations of the Street as expressed in lite quotations' recently prevailing for the War bonds issued' last year. Tshade less thano nincases rof the first loan, but any change in this le- epect is more than made good by the increased speculative possi- bilities attaching to the longer term of the new bonds. As they run fora ,period ,of fililteen' yen's the price could rise several points higher than would be possible in rase of a, ten-year maturity in the event of our experiencing a season of cheap money rates within two or three years. Assuming that in two years' time the borrowing rate for the Dominion Government gets downasl ow alevei as a 4 per cent, basis, the ten-year'bonds mibutht underethelsame conor ditionsthe 15 -year bonds could geto109 or 110. Then there is the possibility that a season of abnormally easy money may be encountered after the war, in Which ease a quotation of 115 for the bonds now being issued does not appear un- reasonable. , The Income Tax Exemption. t These possibilities of profit will unquestioably snake the new issue caecidedly attractive for discern- ing investors With people who are accustomed to took ahead the exemption from Dominion income tax counts as an attraction. Al- though such a tax is not immed- iately in sight, there is, in some quarters, an ,impression that the excess profits tax at the end of the three: -year period may be changed and broadened into ageneral tax on; incomes, and ifthe t is the case the exemption feature e ill fur of some consequence to Large holders of the bonds,M 'The Installment Dates, The difference in installment dates, as compared with the old. loan, is striking, Last year it Was considered most important to defer the ea11s until the fallcrop move - silent had been completed. So the initial payment came at the mirror November, and the large install- ments did not begin until Pebru- dry 1. On this occasion) the pay-' meet run coterminously with the fail movement of grain, the large installments coming in October, November and December.

At the time of the( passing' of the act. the Ontario Legislature had no power to prevent or limit the importations of liquors from outside the province for domestic use. A person for his ownpri-, vate family use, may import in any quantity he desires, and give same to his agents. If. however, he or his agents ex guests, should become intoxicated, and be found in au intoxicated condition on the streets, trouble for him? would 'bemire to follow. ( e Since the passing. of this. Act the Dominion House, byanamend- ment to the Canada Temperance A.et, passed a,t its aession in'May last, bas given the province pow er to prohibit all importation of fr m outside liquor o oil r e the province. Whether the Ontario Legislature win take ad antsof 1 advantage thispower at its next session remains ,t l;r a o be 1 seen, The remedy is, however,' now in.the power of the, Provincial Legislature. One of the striking features of this act is the fact'that detectives who are appointed to catch suspected parties, may ask for and purchase liquors for the puropose of such detection, with - opt being liable to prosecution for the violation of the jaw.

A more complete obituary of the late Mr, Jackson will be given next week, The New War Loan OFrom Toronto Globe/ The terms of the new war loan, prospectus of which ispublished to day, conform to the expectations of the Street as expressed in lite quotations' recently prevailing for the War bonds issued' last year. Tshade less thano nincases rof the first loan, but any change in this le- epect is more than made good by the increased speculative possi- bilities attaching to the longer term of the new bonds. As they run fora ,period ,of fililteen' yen's the price could rise several points higher than would be possible in rase of a, ten-year maturity in the event of our experiencing a season of cheap money rates within two or three years. Assuming that in two years' time the borrowing rate for the Dominion Government gets downasl ow alevei as a 4 per cent, basis, the ten-year'bonds mibutht underethelsame conor ditionsthe 15 -year bonds could geto109 or 110. Then there is the possibility that a season of abnormally easy money may be encountered after the war, in Which ease a quotation of 115 for the bonds now being issued does not appear un- reasonable. , The Income Tax Exemption. t These possibilities of profit will unquestioably snake the new issue caecidedly attractive for discern- ing investors With people who are accustomed to took ahead the exemption from Dominion income tax counts as an attraction. Al- though such a tax is not immed- iately in sight, there is, in some quarters, an ,impression that the excess profits tax at the end of the three: -year period may be changed and broadened into ageneral tax on; incomes, and ifthe t is the case the exemption feature e ill fur of some consequence to Large holders of the bonds,M 'The Installment Dates, The difference in installment dates, as compared with the old. loan, is striking, Last year it Was considered most important to defer the ea11s until the fallcrop move - silent had been completed. So the initial payment came at the mirror November, and the large install- ments did not begin until Pebru- dry 1. On this occasion) the pay-' meet run coterminously with the fail movement of grain, the large installments coming in October, November and December.

At the time of the( passing' of the act. the Ontario Legislature had no power to prevent or limit the importations of liquors from outside the province for domestic use. A person for his ownpri-, vate family use, may import in any quantity he desires, and give same to his agents. If. however, he or his agents ex guests, should become intoxicated, and be found in au intoxicated condition on the streets, trouble for him? would 'bemire to follow. ( e Since the passing. of this. Act the Dominion House, byanamend- ment to the Canada Temperance A.et, passed a,t its aession in'May last, bas given the province pow er to prohibit all importation of fr m outside liquor o oil r e the province. Whether the Ontario Legislature win take ad antsof 1 advantage thispower at its next session remains ,t l;r a o be 1 seen, The remedy is, however,' now in.the power of the, Provincial Legislature. One of the striking features of this act is the fact'that detectives who are appointed to catch suspected parties, may ask for and purchase liquors for the puropose of such detection, with - opt being liable to prosecution for the violation of the jaw.
