A Christmas Box That Is Worth

When you make a present of a

you are really selecting a compan

quaintances of your sons' and
daughters were to talk to them
aloud as some periodicals talk to
them silently, how quickly you
would forbid the companionship !
In the one case as in the other, the
best course is to supplant the in-

tractive ' and at the same time

The following from a Portlan:l 1

might equally Well be a- note of
warning to Ontario, for our grav-
est concern should be to raise the

population :
Public sentiment in Oregon
without any change in the laws
can onmpel assessors and boards of
equalization to assess idle lands

figured at on the assessment rolls.
This will reduce their price and F
bring many thousands of acres in- T

ed for 85 and 210 an acre. Boost.
the assessments on the idle land-
holder. He is of no use. If he
wants the fun of holding land idle
let hint pay as much as others do
who use it."
The proposed amendment to the
Assessment Act granting mnnice
palities the right to raise the rate
on land values and lower it on inn
provements would be a perfect
method of accomplishing this very
desirable result. Over two hundred.
and twenty-five municipalities
have already signed it, including
all the large cities save one in the
province.
A stock argument against the
proposed amendment to the As-
ses8naent Act giving municipalities
the right to put hind values at a
higher rate than improvement
values, is the idea that it would
produce confusion in the taxation
of the various cities. To show how
foolish it is, and the hopeless con-
fusion that now exists, we give the
