TER: NEW TAXES The eagerly awaited Budget Speech was delivered in the House of Com- mons on Ttiesday by the new Finance Minister, Sir Henry Drayton, and its provesions are going to add a heavy burden on. to the shoulders of the average wage earner or salaried man. To the already unparalleled' high cos' of living there is to be added a ten per cent. increase on almost every article of apparel that the ordinary •man or woman uses. To a. tax on Imanies no one, objects, because the rich can buy at any price and the poor are etnitent to do without, but when the Government elasses boots, shoes and ordinary clothing at their present prices as a luxury and adds an additional ten per cent. to the cost of the purchaser, how long are the people going to stand for such? The following is a summary . of 'some of the new taxation measures: Taxes cue luxuries ranging from .10 to 50 per cent. of purchase price. Tax of one per cent. on sales of • manufacturers, wholesalers, jobbers and intporters, but not on sales by retailers; sales of food, and coel ex- empted from tax.

If paid in instalments, interest at six per cent. is to be charged, and pay- ment in Tull is required 'within six months after return is made by means of three equal bi-monthly instalments. Heavy penalties are provided for in- correct returns. CANADA A NATION -HOW MUCH? - The chief topic is of course, tile post at Washington. Whither does it. tend? Who will get it? What would Goldwin Smith say if he were alive? Only nine years ago we were deciding not to have any truck ot trade with the Yankees. Now we cannot get too / close to them. tit all springs out of the Canada -a - nation idea. Canada has been a na"' time for quite a long time now with full liberty to do iilmost anything she pleases except declare war and make peace -so long as it was coun- ter -signed by Great Britain. We have advanced to the dignity of a Minister at Washington which enables us to do our business direct with Washington instead of via the Colonial Office, thus demonstrating that - the base of - a triangle is less than the two sides, but Great Britain, still does the countersignin'g. The strong, friendly hand across the sea still re- tains its hold but allows us a little more play for our amour propre. Mr.., Rowell claima, by implication, that he discovered Canada-a-natioe, but, according to Mackenzie King, all he did was to, stress a fact already ac- complished. As father of his country: Mr. Rowell Would probably like to see Canada have a couple more children, Ilewfoundlandt and the British West Indies, but this possibility is still in the womb of the future. Meanwhile, -Canada is a nation and -Mr. Rowell is her prophet if Canada will let him be se. Ever since the. war developed ,our. pride and gave us a vote in the League of Nations, Canada -as -a -illation has come along very fast. She has found out that she has more nationhood *about her than she ever suspected and is takingfull advantage of it. Amend- ments to the British North America Act filea A frequent place on the order paper and. one way and another Canada shows a disposition to assert her full rights as an active partner in the British Empire of free common- wealths. -The friends of British connection are pleased to note that Great Britain appoints the Canadian Minister- to Washington --on the advice, of course ef the _Canadian Government -and that care has been taken -to interlace his duties with those of the British. Ambassador, whose substitute he may become when that exalted' Personage is sick or gone on a journey. This is • the rule of brotherly affection-. Dowipg Street in the velvetest Of gloves. _ Canada as a nation will pay the bill, the first appropriation for which is eighty thousand dollars, not ae big sum, diplomatic expenses at Washing- ton being considered. We might have Made it a round hundred thousand and giver our Minister a margin for a few state dinners. Luckily Wash- ington is bone-dry now and state dinners do not cost as much as they used to do. In a •pinch the Canadian Minister' might call on the British Ambassador -who. Will presumably have a well -stocked cellar -for sup- plies, but otherwise it looks as if the job xnight go to a prohibitionist with a little black moustache and a far- away look in his eyes. Mr. Rowell had his future read in the teacup not long ago and the best of good: luck was predicted -for him. The Washington job is variously viewed by the members of .Parliament. Quebec, of course, is pleased. Canada - a -nation does not daunt the hearty nationalists from that province. Can- ada -as -a -nation within the • British Empire, Canada -as -a -nation "on her own" -one surmises that Quebec 'has a heart for either fate so long as Quebec's privileges are fully guar- anteed. Certain Western members, whose naraes need net be mentioned here, look even farther -.along the read on which independence is °ply the half way house. Whatever their views they are pleased at this first instalment of Canada's nationhood even if it hae.a long string to it. It is much more convenient to take things to a British Ambassador who is just round the corner than to wait for the 'return mail from Dowing Street. Whose Job is It? In some quarters the Canadian min- istership to Washington is not re- garded with favor, the argument be- ing that Canada suffers from too much government, already and that it only multiplies trouble to .have Canadian Ministers in foreign countries: Where, they ask; is the thing going to stop?. A Minister at Washington, presently another minister in, London -the Can- adian representative' on.,, the Imperial Council -why not -another Minister to Paris, and so on ad infinitum? How we are going to pay for all these supernumerary administrators, the country being as hard up as it is? However these are minor details. The main question is, who is to get the job at Washington? Mr. Rowell has denied the soft impeachment but there is reason to believe that he would not refuse it if the thing was made unanimous. Looking the fu- ture squarely in its cold 'blue eye Mr, Rowell probably feels thartWashing-, ton would be a good place to be when the crash comes, even if the job does last only- two years. Of course a change • of Government means a change of Ministers at Washington but by 1922 Mr. Rowell will have made such a name for himself that posterity will be quite satisfied to have him 'go back to his law practice in To- ronto. Mr. Rowell has been studying the job up for thee last three years THE IWRON EXPOSITOR and could take a hundred ma;rks oni , - any Paper on ambassadorship that the 1 Civil Service Commission might set. League of Nations, British Islorth ,A,meriea Act, Declaration of Independ- ence, Brotherhoods of Man -Mr. Rowell has it all at his finger ends. Moreover he has been working at it - 'working at it from all ends. Ottawa, Washington, London. 1! - Premier Lloyd George goes by the news cabl- ed hip from„ Ottawa by Mr.. Rowell's varions news services he will under - Stand. that there is only one great man in Canada and that Ins name is Rowell. If 'merit, industry and ad- vertising candothe trick, the job is Mr. Rowell's without further -parley. Comes a doubt, - however,-achill- ing doubt. Would Premier Borden like it? Be has the eetge on every- body else when it cones to handing the honors out. Ile is the source of Mewling. Suppose he should choose to honor himself. Aye, there's the rub? If he likes the job at Washing- ton, all. he has to do -is to reach for it, Sir Robert may not be the expert on international relations that Mr. Rowell is but' he Ms the kind of knowledge a diplomat 'needs, the knowledge of polite society, golf courses and: country clubs, which is caviare to Mr. Rowell. Sir Robert has an intimate ae- quaintance with all, the pleasure re- sorts along the Atlantit seaboard. - and that is enotigh•geography of the 'United States for any Canadia7u Min- ister to begin with. He can learn., the rest as 'he goes along. 'Besides Sir Robert is, our greatest cosmopoli- tan -our chiefest citizen of the world, at home in every country but his own., Yes, Sir Robert can have the job if he wants it. Will he be magnanimous and make way for a faithful servant who has .been , mugging the job up ever since he got a good look at it? All these doubtsand more were on Mr. Rowell's face as he listened to Sir George Faster reading the fateful announcement. IS 'the bod boy • to get his silver cup or not As Dr. Runyon, says, there- is hope, and oiv hope Mr. Rowell must . live till Premier Borden makes up his mind: A Strong point for. Mr. Rowell is that if he drops out of the Cabinet he need not be replaced. The Presidency of the Council under ordinary circum- stances carries no salary with it and is usually 'attached: to the premier- ship. As Mr. Rowell- has no regular portfolio his disappearance from the Cabinet would not detail the appoint- ment of anether Cabinet Minister and a dangerous bye -election. Besides, Premier Borden. may' be Joking to London rather than to Washington as a seitable spot for his dignity. There is a place OD the Imperial Council which Sir Robert would fill with satisfaction to every- body, not to mention a Canadiap law - lordship on the Judicial Committee of the Imperial Privy Council which has long gon.e a -begging. The High Com- missionership is another plum that hangs from the tree, said tree being 'guarded meanwhile by Sir George Perley for Sir Robert Borden or Sir George Foster, both of whom have a taste for plums. -,11.

The spacious hall was crowded and* every one went away feeling they indeed had received, a great treat from Mr. Powell, the live agent or representative of the new Edison. - Sabbath last was a special day of interegt to the congregations of Carmel. church, it being the day select- ed for anniversary services, as they could not be held on the exact an- niversary Sabbath, but the change of date rather added to than diminish- ed the pleasure and profit of the occasion as the day and roads were most favorable, and, large congrega- tions that filled the spacious church and gallery gathered both morning and evening to attend the services. The Rev. Scott Fulton, of Chalmers church, Toronto, who wet the preach- er of the day, most ably suetained the high reputation: that had preceded his .coming as an earliest, pleasing and able speaker, a his sermons on both occasions were listened to with great pleasur as well as profit- able tb the heare while the large and splendid churh ehoir, which has much more than local reputation, added greatly t the pleasure of the occasion at both services, and the anthems, solos, quartettes and ,duetts were so many and good that we can- not, at °its space, particularize, suf- fice to say that the anniversary ser- vices throughout were all that could be desired from every standpoint- of view. The splendid collection of t31ants and flowers, which adorned the front of the church, were the admira- tion, of all and which tpgether with the recent improvements made to the • M.. • entrance. wall a the church, made the interior look most beautiful, On tbe following Monday evening the Rev. Mr. Fulton gave his promised lecture and delighted the large audience that had -gathered to listen to him, and he- eertamly not only sustained his 1 reputation as a good lecturer as well i as a good preacher, and in his lecture' happily combined wit and humor with gobd sound instructionand advice, and portrayed the wonderful works I, of God as seen in nature and as seen in earthquakes and wonderful mani- festations of power and carried his audience to scenes in lifeIsind, his former home anil birth place, and Els Irish hunior and anecdotes lent a charm to the lecture, which as we have said, was much enjoyed throughout. The church choir, mider the 'able leadership of Mr. M. Rennie with Mrs. Rennie as organist, added much pleasure to the occasion, while Mr. Wm'. Craig, a relative of the lecturer, very pleasantly -filled the duties of chairman. As the lecturer so ldndly gave his fine lecture without charge on this occasion, the proceeds to- gether with the Seaxday collection, brought in a nice' amount to meet recent expenditures, -Miss Doreen Murdock and Miss Maxwell left here en Saturday evening last, Miss Doreen going to Montreal to make an ex- tended visit with her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. L.

Montreal. May 18. -Cattle receipts to -day were 682. Although there was a light run Saturday, a load of cattle averaging 1,115 pounds per head was sold for $15.51). This morning some very fair- steers have been sold for 318.25 -to 514, but buyers have so far refused to pay the. price asked for the best loads. A. large percentage of the offer- ing was made up of eastern bills, which were sold in car lots at about 110.25 per hundred. Very common bulls were selling around $8.50 to 59, and an odd choice bull up to *13. The top for good cows was 312.50. Canners and cutters from $5 to 37, and cows from this up to $9.50. Quotations: Butcher steers, choice, $15 -to $15.90; good, $13 to $15; medium, 112 to 313; common, $10 to 312; butcher heifers, choice, 312 to $14; medium, $11 to $12; common $8 to 310.50; butcher cows, choice, 315.50 to $12.50; medium $7.50 to 310.50: canners, *5 to $5.50; cutters 56 to 57; Matcher bulls, good, 310.50 to 313; common, 58.50 to $10.25. Calf receipts were 1,444. The calf market looked stronger, and sellers were looking for fair lots to sell around 512. There was a lot of ver common calves being offered. One load of milk -fed calves averaging 125 pounds sold for 514.25. Not enough sales were re- corded to establish Prices. Sheep reeeipts were 28�. Spring Jambe were quoted at $10 to 314 each. eQuotations: Ewes. $11 to $12.50. Hog receipts were 884. The most general Price quoted for .hogs was 120.75, off ear weights. Lots sold as this figure occasionally includes an old sow' o ra few heavies. Select- ed hogs of mediunt weight have been sold up to 321. Quotations: Off car weights, selects, 320.75 to 521; sows, 316.75 to 317. `Union Stock Yards, Toronto, flay 18. - For some reason or another buyers were not inclined this morning to operate .araong the heavy cattle, but for the lighter` killers the demand was fair. Trade was a long way from being as active as it was at last mid- week, and in fact to -day there were dull streaks all morning and it was Galli as the result of much pedalling that anything ap- proaching a semblance of a clean-up among the four thousand head of cattle offered was effected. Values were steady for the bettee grades of butchers, but 25 cents weaker for the plain to fair qualities.
