A spacial effort should he\Mtade din-

The Square is one of our . greatest

TAXATION UF FARM BUILDINGS.
The Weekly Sun doubts the wisdom
or utility of the prupo'al to exempt
farm buildings from taiation. it
appat1 to harbor the idea, which we
have advanced elsewhere, that a
man ehnuld: be taxed according to
his ability toay. The Sim will err
how vie' this proposal is if it will
apply it to its own private affair,.
If the -thio•-dealer *1 Id charge one
man three dullare for a pair Of shoes,
and another -team five-akalat•a fur the
same article, because the latter could
afford it, and if every business tran-
saction should 1w conducted on the
r same principle, what chaos would
result ! We believe there are some
people who "size up" their customPls

The mere fact that a titan is wealthy
should not be cause for taxing him
unitedly, any more than it is reason
for toadying to him or giving him
',period privileges. And, whether The
Sun sets it or not, the fact is that
the present methods of taxation are
responsible more than anything else
for the vast privrtt accumulations of
wealth, alongside of abject. poverty,
which constitute the greatest menace
to twentieth century civilisation.

THE COUNCILS DUTY.
%Vitile The Signal is thoroughly satin
fled with the vote of the ratepayers in
approval of the gas bylaw, it believes
that it would not be awiks to take this
es the occasion of a few general re-
warka upon the duties, of the town
to thin and other
c -11 in reference
bylaws. At,was repeatedly urged (hy
upptments utythe bylaw) in reference
to the gam propt.ititnt, •large nuniher
of the ratepayers do not, from one cause
r another, grasp am tboraughly as
,night be wimhed the vital features of
swap tit the kylawa whjcb nrr_Ltubfpit
ted to them for approval or rvje•tiott.
f`l'it is rt wciolly the rase when no
effort is mads to retire a full and pub-
lic discnssiuu of the proposition, and
it would be well in all cases to have at
least tree public meeting at. which
those iii favor of and those oppnaed to
any bylaw might (nave the opportu
ity of meeting on a c mon platform
to present their views.
We take it that many of ,,the voters
rely upon the judgment of the town
council in casting their ballots. -That
is, a voter who has not waatetd for
himself the details of a bylaw is not
unlikely to come to the conclusion that
it roust he s fairly reasonable proposi-
tion or it would not be submitted to •
vote. A. le-ge responsibility rests,
theu,'vi/toon the council in the first
place in seeing khat it wake. as good a
bargain ascan po..ihly be made with
the promoters of any bylaw. Hut
even when this is done, and when the
bylaw as submitted is approved by
the people, the council's responsibility
does not cease. By their endorsation
of a bylaw the ratrpayerm place in the
hands of the council a trust. to ere
(hat the provisions of the bylaw are
csrf led out with strict regard to the
interests ot._the ..tuwn.7-'las" !a tet• in
axiom, eternal vigilance is the price
or safety, and after --a liylaw
proved by the ratepayers the vigilance
of the members of the aroneil and of
the corporation officers should be con-
atently exercised in order that the
t,iwu may not be overreached in the
carrying nut of the agreement con•
(eined in the lyrlew. iL" win not- do
for the cutucillur or official to say,
The ratepayers vutad for that proposi-
tion, and I have no further responsi-
bility. On the contrary, the council-
lor or official is in duty hound to ex-
ercise every care to secure the inter -
este of the town in every detail. To
t.ake.a eoaeret• haat-. it is not et long
since the vigilance and firmness of
members of the council prevented the
paying of a loan which had been
voted by the people. The ratepayers
had approved the Iran propteition,
trusting to the council to *retire their
intereete before the money was paid
over, and the council fulfilled Re trust.
Again, in the case of ,the electric rail-
way proposition, the council would,
we believe, be in a more satiafactnry
plait' , and the anapieion, founded
u 08(0818484. which exists in regard
to the project might never have
at lope, if the right,. of the town had
been more rigidly protected from the
first. The ratepayers Itvat to the
