Tax Reform
For the third year in succession
the Government has voted down
(Apposition proposals for Tax
Reform. The debate this week oc-
cupied considerable time in the
House but the majority of speakO
ers were from the Opposition and,
theneflore, in favor ,of Tax Re-
form. (Only w few of the Govern-
went members spoke on the sub=
ject, The (Opposition pointed out
especially that its sdlneme. of Tax
Reform did not compel Municipali-
tie to change'their sys't'em of tax
ation at all, but simply gave them
the local option to lower the tax
on improvements if they thought
it wise to qo sto.r It was pointed
out that petitions for the righ"t of
local option have been received by
the Government from. all parts of
the Province, from farmers and
from City m•en,.from rc,pnesentati-
ves of manufacturers' associations
and from the I7abor Undone. More
over the city of Toronto voted in
favor of Tax Reform by an over -
Whelming : 'majority. The Govern-
ment, however, did not :sem, to
be influeineed by these considlerao
tions and voted down the propos-e

years. The Liberal policyon the
