While comparing Coburg and Trenton, with practial- ly the same ponulation, Trenton's land values are only one-fourth, while her building value is more than one-half. Observe also that the business assessment in Coburg and Trenton is only one-half in proportion to the population what it is in Belle- ville. Talk about confusion, is not this confusion run riot. Ac- cording to these figures, taken froni the clerks' books direct, every man who improves his property in either Trenton or Belleville is fined to the value of. the improvement, while valuable land lays idle and useless and al most taxless, while in Coburg the land increment is kept up closely and improvers given the doubt. .025 10,012 $881,567 The peculiar properties of Chani. berlain's CoughRemedy have been thoroughly testedduring epidemics of influenza, and when it was taken in time we have not heard of a single case of pneumonia.

When you make a present of a periodical to a friend or a family you are really selecting a compan ion to influence them for good or ill duringa whole year. If the ac 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- jurious with something equally at- tractive ' and at the same time "worth while."

Teacher, The following from a Portlan:l 1 Oregon, paper, the "Ltabo ; Press," might equally Well be a- note of warning to Ontario, for our grav- est concern should be to raise the percentage of the. rural and farm population : Public sentiment in Oregon without any change in the laws can onmpel assessors and boards of equalization to assess idle lands three tithes what they are note figured at on the assessment rolls. This will reduce their price and F bring many thousands of acres in- T to use thereby. That in turn. will b make demands for labor andlabor's products. Timber lands in some r of our coast countries sellinp for i. E $6,000 a quarter section are assess- 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.
