TARIFF AND T'AXA'TION PRO-
POSALS OF 1921 BI UGH"1'
The following gives a bird's eye
view of the tariff and taxatann pro-
posals of the budget:
Tariff.
No general revision of the tariff
schedules is to be made now.
Certain changese5 necessary to
Illl-
plenent the trade agreement with tate
West Indies are shade. These affect
such products as .cocoa, cocoa pro-
ducts, arrowroot, onions, grapefruit,
limes, cocoanuts, sugar and runt.
Notice is given of two changes to
be made in the Customs Act, The
purpose of the first is to secure a
more efficient carrying -out of the
principle of the existing dumping pro-
visions, and has to do with the valua-
tion on which duties are assessed,
The Act also provides that the value
shall be "the fair market value, when
sold for home consumption, in the
principal markets of the country
whence and at the time when the
goods were exported directly to Can-
ada." The amendment will add to
this "such value in no ease to be
lower than the wholesale price there-
of, at such'
time aniP lace." And in
additionP r rvi
t -des thatfor
the • t f r
duty shall nota less than an the actual
cost ofroduction r
p o f similar goods
at date of shipment direct to Canada,
plus a reasonable profit thereon.
Theother amendment relates W the
valuation for Customs purposes of
foreign currencies. The present -Cus-
toms practice is W convert the foreign
depreciated currency into Canadian on
the basis of existing exchange rates.
It is proposed that no reduction in
.:excess of fifty per cent. of the stan-
dard or proclaimed value will be
hllowed; no matter what the exchange
rate is. Where the rate of exchange
is adverse to Canada, the value for
duty will be computed atsthe rate of
exchange existing at the date of the
shipment of the goods.
A change in the Customs tariff 1907
will also be made stipulating that all
'-;goods imported capable of being
.an'arked, stamped, branded or labelled
'without injury, shall have indicated
on them in English or French the
country of origin. This provision will
•eeme into force September 1, 1921.
Taxation.
The Business Profits War Tax Act
will not be re-enacted. All the luxury
• taxes, those which were and those
which were not remitted last Decem-
t er will be abolished.
But inview ew o f the necessities s of
revenue, duties will be levied on play-
ing cards, wines and spirits. On
playing cards not exceeding $24 a
gross, 8 cents a pack; exceeding $24
a gross, 15 cents a pack. '
Duties equal to the former combin-
ed taxes will be maintained on wines,
including champagne and sparkling
wines.
Duties on spirits will be increased
to a straight $10 a gallon Custom
rate, and the excise on spirits of
local manufacture released for sale in
Canada to $9 a gallon.
In connection with the latter item,
however, arrangements will he made
for a rebate of 99 per cent, of the
duties on alcohol to bona -fide hos-
pitals on spirits actually used by there
for medicinal purposes.
The duties on alcohol used for
patent and proprietary medicines and
pharmaceutical preparations will. he
$2.40 per proof gallon, which oras th,.
rate in effect before the luxury taxe-
of last year were imposed.
Sales Tax.
No change will be made in the
principle of the Sales Tax •n 'o ext071•1
it to a general turn•:vrr tax. Its
operation will be confined as at pres-
ent, to sales of mvpufacturer•.s, whole-
salers, jobbers and importers. The
one per cont. and two per ren rates
on domestic 1ransao'l,r;s
(vet, be increased to 1 per cont.
and a per rent.., rtspn.•:ive!y: and th'•
import rates will he 21„ per cent. and.
4 per cent-, these 1at't r being one
per cent. higher than the like domestic
rate. The necessity for this lie in
the fact that more th.nn one Dales
tax is included in the finished article
made in Canaria, whereas on the im-
ported article no sale< tax is imposed
on the materials vets -ring into it.
A list of -special exemptions will
be continued, which will rover food-
stuffs in their natural state, initial
sales of farm produce by the farmer
of his own production, as well as the
first: products of fisheries, mines and
forests.

'lax Mill Burned -Twenty heads
of families were thrown out of ern -
f luymrnt us a result of a fire which
entirely destroyed the plant and ma-
chinery of the Exeter Flax Company,
in the north end, at noun on Monday.
en unofficial estimate places the fin-
ancial loss at $50,000. The lire broke
out at noun and is believed to have
-originated in an over -heated boxing
of the shafting- The fire brigade
made a fast run, but the inllatntnablc
eature of the interior of the mill gave
theb laze a rapid tire
id start and the re
fighters were unable to thebuild-
ing or contents. Several houses i'n
the vicinity caught fire, but these were
saved by volunteers with buckets- The
mill was a large structure of brick,
flame and metal, and the machinery
was considered exceptionally valuable.
The firm had enjoyed a period of
prosperity and was one of the town's
biggest industries. It is understood
the still will be rebuilt at once

Another Pioneer of McKilklp Paasesat
Away, --On Sunday, May 8th, at tile
break of day, the angel of death
called Mrs. John Eckart, of St.
Columban, W her eternal reward.
She had been ailing for the past four
months and gradually, wiFhout any
struggle, the feeble flickering light
ebbed away. Deceased was burn 86
years ago in Bavaria, Germany. At
the age of 23 Ctopegunda Arnold
migrated with her surviving brother,
Fred Arnold, of Dublin, and her future
husband, John Eckart, to Stratford
where they were married by Father
Crinnun sixty-three years ago. For
seven years they resided in Downie
township. Then they ]roved tn. Mc-
hil!up, where they lived on the 9th
coneess ion for forty years, and from
which place she ssw all her children
settled in life. Sixteen years ago
they retired to St. Columba:- There
her husband died nine years ago. De-
ceased is survived by all of her nine
children, but one, Mrs. Demnic
not need to be any surprise through-
11ruxer, who died in Dublin 2l years
ago. Besides her eight surviving
children, (hen, of Seaforth; Mrs. G.
6. Holland, Beechwood; Fred, of Mr-
Killop; Mrs. John Murray, McKillop;
Mrs. John F. McMapn, of Tucker -
smith; Peter, on the old hu nestead;
snr
Father Stephen Eckart, of 'arliee
Win.; Father Joseph M. Eckart, (>.1'.,
of Hawthorne, N. Y. She is surviv•
ed by fifty-two grand children and
thirty-four great grandchildren. De-
ceased was an exceptionally rugged
woman, with all the courage and and
bit ion of the early pioneers who came
to this country to hew out a hems
for themselves and for their families.
Iler door was always ,pert; her taut
always free to any wayfarer, The
integrity of her life, her interest in
her family and the unswerving buy
nity to her religion were ever such
that for the last few years of ,her
life. when her life's work was d.,ne.
]lade her yearn to go Home, just Ilii -
a tired child. The future held no
fear for her, for as she often said
with St. Paul: "I have done my duty
I have fought the gond tight. i have
h faith."On ednesday, May

Women Workers. -The meeting of
the women of St- Andrew's church
for the month of May was held at
the Manse. About thirty were pres-
ent. The W. M. S. ]meeting was held
first, Mrs. Jarrott, 2nd vice-president,
'in the chair, Mrs- Kyle took the Bible
reading and Miss Edith Bowey assist-
ed by Miss Margaret McLean and
Mrs. J. B. McLean, led in the topic:
"Open Doors in Modern Japan." The
roll call was an interesting feature,
every member regponding with an
item of- missionary news. At the
close of 'the Missionary meeting, the
Ladies' Aid executive reported their
meeting held the week before. The
plans for the year brought forward
by the executive were cordially ap-
proved and endorsed by the meeting.
One of these plans is to hold a patri-
otic entertainment in the church the
evening of the King's birthday, June
Ord. Arrangements are being made
tc: have a speaker, singer, reciter and
choir chorus for each country -Eng-
land, Ireland, Scotland and Canada.
Further notice of this will be given.
The Gould Mission Band meets next

Mothers' Day Services. -Mothers'
Day services were held in the Meth-
odist and Presbyterian churches on
Sunday last, and the weather being
especially fine for the day there was
:: large attendance at both churches.
The pastors and all who took part
in carrying out the much -enjoyed ser-
vices, paid a strong tribute to the
h::nor a motherhood. To -day it may
h'• said that the welfare of the whole
wet Id is directed by the another of
the home. If the children do not
learn to shun evil it is largely be-
cause the mother and the father have
^'t been competent in the task of
home making and have not led the
fie; of their children in the right
Hath. The first things should come
first and in the home the ,child is
t1" -t. The standard of the home to -
:lay is the standard that the children
'.clil follow in after years- At the

hope will melte good work of it, for
as the old saying has it, "Anything
worth doing is worth doing well," and
the dust of late on our Main street
has certainly been unbearable and
very destructive to our merchants'

welcomed,. -The Rev. J. I`, Knight,

soon to Move for Calgary to become
pastor of Wesley church in that city.
This will lie the last opportunity for
the people of this community to hear
him and we believe that the charge
for this to recital is merely nom-

ed a fine asset, and showed the ne-
cessity of ever having a good supply
