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.
Excise tax. on passenger automobiles
increased from 10 to 15 per cent.
Increased excise duties on beer,
wine and spirituous liquors.
Increase in stamp taxes on bills
•of exchange and promissory notes for
More than $100.
Increase in taxation on incomes of
$5,000 and upward.
Tax of two cents. per share on
stock transfers.
Business profits war tax continued,
but at reduced rates.
War Customs duties of 7% per cent.
ad valorem. repealed.
Estimated revenue for new
taxes $100 900 000
Estimated loss of revenue
from repeal of taxes ..$30,000,000
Net increase ,in revenue
expected ..... .......$70,000,000
The following is a summary of the
taxation proposals:

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

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

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. F. G.

the long programme not only with
the wonderful skill of the artists but
also the wonderful new Edison, the
latest triumph of the great inventor.
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

`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. The best panong
tthe steers disposed of sold from $14.25 to
514.90 per cwt., but a lot of 1igh steers
and heifers cashed in from 518 to 314 per
etw. Nuraerous extra choice cows were for-
ward and the best of these clashed in up to
1334 cents per pound, though three head sold
for 1334 cents per pound, which Price was
also paid for two exceptionally choice but-
cher bulls. A fair percentage of good bulls
sold front $11.75 to $12:75 per cwt. Can-
ners were,. steady and in fair demand at
from $5 to 35.25 per ewt. Bologna bulls
were about firm, though not a Very active.

cwt, several very choice veats sold •at 317
