WAR TAX ON INCOMES 7 - WORDS OF APPRECIATION THE DEATH ROLL
Those enjoying Highest income will pay 1
Largest Amount
If the income war tax law, about to be
applied, did nothing more than cause a
national stock -taking, it would serve a
most useful purpose.
The taking of an inventory of one's re-
sources invariably induces a desire to save
and a desire to save when translated, as it
Very frequently is, into a determination to
save, means getting on with the war, as
well as bappinese all around. This pro-
cess, first an inventory of one's resources,
then a desire to save applied to every un-
married person or widow and widower
without dependent children, receiving an
income of 31,500 and over, and to all other
persons receiving an income of $3,000 or
over Will unquestionably result in a pro-
portion of cases in a determination to
save. And that means more general pros-
perity and renewed national strength.
But a national stuck -taking is only in-
cidental, of course, to the chief purpose of
the income war tax, which is to provide
revenue for the prosecution of the war in
as equitable a manner as possible. The
tax is to be graduated, according to one's
ability to Day. Those who are in receipt
of only a living wage or salary will not be
called upon to pay, those enjoying the
highest incomes will be called upon to pay
the greateet amounts, and the great body
of income receivers between, will be called
upon to pay to their due proportion.
Moreover, the purpose of the act is to
distribute the burden equitably among all
classes. By way of illustration, the farm -
will be required to add to the value of the
-home-grown products which his own fam-
ily consurnes This place the farmer on a
plane with the salaried man the value of
whese services is wholly represented in
the income received and against which
he must charge all his living expenses
Canada has established a war record
that is the envy of the World. It is cer-
tain that the Canadian people will run
true to form in answer to this latest call
of their war government,

Premier Hearst Sends Congratulations
To Mr, Musgrove
The fact that this letter is late in ap-
peering in print is not the fault of Tull
AnvAteog but of the gentleman who re-
ceived it. He was too modest to let us
have it for publication, but we think it is
due the constituency Mr. Musgrove so
honourably represented for the past eight"'
years, to know just how highly he was
respected by his colleagues in Parliament
and by the Prime Minster of Ontario.
Toronto, February llth, 1918
My dear Musgrove; -
I have yeur telegram of the 9th instant
advising me of the fact that you have
been sworn in as Postmaeter of Wingham.
Allow me to congratulate you on your ap-
pointment and to wish you long life and
success in your new position. At the
same time allow me to express my deep
regret that you have felt it necessary to
resign your seat in the House and retire
from public life. You will be greatly
missed in the House end in the ,Country.
Men like yourself of honesty of character
and purpose and of ability and force, are
sadly needed in public life, and we can ill
spare a man endowed with all these quali-
fications and with everything else that
went to make the ideal representative in
the public life of the Province at the pre-
sent time. You will be long missed by
your fellow members in the Legislature
but no one will feel the locs,quite so keen-
ly as myself. We entered the Legislature
at the same time and I soon learned to
respect and esteem you for your personal
qualities and to admire you for your abil-
ity and your knowledge of public affairs
generally, and particularly of educational
matters.
When I ' entered the Government I
understood more than I did before, the
importance of a Government, of supper t
ers like yourself, conversant with public.
affairs and able at all times, on the floors
of the House and in the country, to de-
fend the Government and explain its
policies and record. Ever since I have
been Prime Minister I have looked upon
you as one of the very strong men in the
House and a man in whose judgement I
had the greatest confidence, and one upon
whom I could rely in every emergency,
and I want now to express to you my
deep gratitude for your unswervitig sup-
port and for your great assistance, both in
the House and out of the House.
Again expressing my regret that you
have found it necessary to retire from
public life, and with the kindest regards
and best wishes for the future, I am,
Yours very sincerely,

At 2 p.m. Monday afternoon, the spir-
it of Mrs. Joseph Clegg, 5th line, Morris,
took its flight She had been in poor
health for the past year but was only con-
fined to bed for about three weeks. A
heart trouble was the chief ailmeet. She
was born at Mountain, and came with
her parents, the late Charles and Mrs.
Parker to Morris township many years
ago. She was united in marriage to. her
late partner 55 years ago and they loc-
ated on the farm on which they both
died. Mr. Clegg passed away in the year
1908. They lived continuously on the 5th
line, except nine years they spent in
Brussels, which included a stay for a short
time in California, when Mr. Clegg's
health was very poor. The surviving
children are: John of Wingham; R J., a
barrister in Roseland, B. C.; Mrs J. R.
Hetherington, of Olympia, Wash.; and
Miss Melinda at home, who gave her
mother most faithful attention during the
passing years. 2 daughters, Mary and
Margaret are deceased. Mrs. Clegg's
only sister is Mrs. Win. Glegg, lst line of
Morris. The subject of this notice was a
very 'faithful member eand a generous
supporter of the Methodist church and
was a most intelligent Christian, knowing
her Bible and endeavoring to practically
live out its teachings. She was in her
78th year and was the oldest settler on
the line. Funeral took place Wednesday
afternoon from the 'old home. Service
was in charge of Rev, S. Davison, her
pastor, and pallbearers were Jas. Russell,
Jas. Clark, F. Martin, Jas Grasby, Bert
Carter and Wm, Armstrong. Interment
was made in the Sunshine burying ground
alongside the departed members of the
homecircle. Mrs. Clegg was a person
possessing many womanly traits of char-
acter and her home was always noted for
its hospitality and the cleverness of its ,
hostess, The subject of this notice en-

No Control Of Gasoline
The following item was taken from. the
Toronto Sunday World, of March 3rd,
1918. -Mr, Peterson, deputy fuel control-
ler, told a deputation of the Ontario
Motor League a few days ago that
the fuel controller had no jurisdic-
tion over gasoline at present. He added
that in as much as there is no shortage or
probable shortage of gasoline, it was not
the intention of the fuel controller to as-
sume control of gasoline or of the govern-
ment to restrict the sale of gasoline in any
way. In conclusion that there was no
good reason why gasoline consumption
should be curtailed while there are many
why it should not. Ask the next person
who volunteers information to the con-
trary what Hun told him so, and you will
be doing your bit to discourage the cir-
culation of a mischievous enemy rumor.
Oadshy Will Write Por The Advance
nanIg)ntiteata
The Advance has m
for a seiies of weeldy v
by the well known pen of II. F. Gadsby,
during the coining session of Parliament.
This writer for several years conducted an
Ottawa press serve.e under Liberat as
pices, but with the formation of Union _
Government taw his duty to give his
support to that Government. A friendly
attitude however, does not mean lack of
wholesome criticism, and Mr. Gadsby is
taking his correspondence into his own
hands in order to be free of any tie, and
will thus have a free hand to deecribe the
currents and counter -currents at the capi-
tal, the play of motives and arreetione,
the intrigues of the interests, the aetion
and reaction of men and event.
Gadshy's etrtiele., are vigorous and humors
ous in their style and readers of The
Advaiece will find thie future a most in
