But the stranger, wbo gave his name as George Mason. assured her that ber brother's tnterest to the business would be sufficient to make her father and herself quite com- fortable. The story of ham Bartlet's career was. as Mason had said, a long one, and after siring 1t to Der the question came up as to what course to pursue In the tatter of breaking the news of Sam's deatb to tbe father. Ethel could not make np her mind to tall the old man that his .on. in- stead of having returned to him. was dead- At any rate. she felt that 1t must be put off.

Ethel Wr- ing can to Inform her friends and ac- quaintances cquaintances as to the true state of the case. Several weeks passed, and Mason made no move to return to business. Ethel was beginning to fear that some stupid person might let the cat out of the bag to ber father. Besides this. playing brother and sister by two per- sons ersons wbo were not related was not likely to go on witbout criticism. To guard epithet any wool) issue George.

The our great semisip tbia Province at the soaseast, it seems to nes, is radical rdermation io our sys- tem of taxation. Of course, 1 am fully .wan that a petition to Mir James Whitney, asking that the municipalities of Ontario be riven the right to levy texas upon laud values b place of tazlag impruvmeou to the Umit, would have about the same effect ea waving • red flag ata bull; but, nevertheless, the time was never more opportune than the parent to Waist upon the Provincial tiovernmeut giving lie the right of shitting the tax if we so de- sire. it the system of taxing land values had bean tried and found wanting it would be quite another teener, but as it happwf the land tax is working admirably, not only in other pactlous of the British Empire, but right here u home. In Vattieouver, Edmon ton and Winnipeg, the taxation of land values, either exclusively or in far greater proportion than is usual in Ontario, Quebec or the Maritime Provinces, is now in vogue, and the residents of theaedistr*ctm, so far as 1 have beep able to ascertain, are enthus- iastic over the net results. In Winnipeg, land ie taxed at its full value and improvements at two -third. value; is Vancouver the tax is levied on land exclusively ; while in Edmonton the &re arriving at the same results. In Austral!• and New Taal. i and in Germany a similar system is in vogue. Of course, ler. Land Hog yells unceasingly that the lend tax is unfair, unfair by reason of the fear that it sees him on au exact equality with his more progressive neighbor, and be must either sell his vacant land and allow other to improve it or im- prove it himself. lr, other words. Mr. Land Hog, even agalna this inclinations, will find nimself obliged w do bis share toward building up the community. He will discover that he can no longer sit still and prolt by the industry of others. The ultimate result of shifting the taxes from improvements to land will be to build up the cities and towns that adopt it. We would as a direct outcome have a boom in the building trades such as we never have dreamed of. We would employ more labor and utilize more materials than ever before, for the citizens would no longer be penalized for their ptogreaelvsoese. The fact that the tax Collector should feel obliged to make an extra call upon • man by reason of the victifn having painted his front fence or replaced him broken steps with a new night, and mind this is just exactly what occur. year after year, is so absurd end based upon such false and fallacious standards that 1 should imaene the utter absurdity of it would appeal even to the Provincial Premier., If the majority of voters in the Province of Ontario have the brains that they are popularly credited with possessing, they will see to it that the members sit in the new House with a fairly clear ids& that there is an overwhelming demand for such en- actments as will allow the cities and towns of Ontario to reform their system of taxation, if they see fit. This would hy. no MONIS be an arbitrary measure. It would simply ensure to the citizens the right of changing their methods of taxation, if in their good judgment it proved the thing to do. Just because people have stupidly and arbitrarily taxed im- provements for generations is notesson why we. should so con- tinue to do. When the noble lord owned many scree in compari- son with HIS improvements, and the peasant a vary small propor- tion of hind as compared with H18 improvements, there was a possible excuse for the noble lord who 'rested these tax rftulso Liors, for the natural inclination was to let himaset oft as lightly as possible, and place the burden on the other Fellow. the smaller fellow, who was not in a position to resist_ Fortunately, we have now arrived at a point in our worldly affairs when the voice of the small fellow is hoard in the land. Then whyin the name of commonsense should we all sit still and allow Sr James Whitney, whose ideas of taxst ion belong back 1n the Middle Ages, to tell us that the land tsz in preference to the improvenlent tax is not to be There is still another and moot important economic condi- tion to face in this Province. A condition that every employer of labor Is vitally interested in, and in which the improvement tax in place of the land tax' has much to do. Largs manufacturers tell us on all sides that labor Le this Province is hard to get, and high when they get it ; higher on the whole than in any Province east of Manitoba. Tbey will tell you, for one thing thst rents are higher here than they are in other sections, while at the same time we have available land almost without limit They will tell you that their workmen demand more wages. because they cannot get a decent residence to live in within a reasonable distance of their work, at a figure that they can afford to pal. And all this when we have acres upon acres of available land lying fallow. This land is lying buildingles and teeantieas awaiting the time when the industry of the community will make it well worth the .,wners' whU to ,•U It out fur building purpoee.. Little by,little itis sold, the fret,tots cheaply enough, the other cow - sideration being that the new owners shall Improve the property. The improvement takes place, and up go the prices of the remain- ing lotto -Pretty soon there is • street car service within reason- abledistance, making the property available tor the workingman. But with the comingot the street cars the workman, looking for a lot upon which he may build a home, fiads that the lots have got up beyond his mean. There are plenty vacant as yet, but Mr. Land Hog O. holding them for the biggest possible price. and ire may bold them almost indefinitely by reason of the fa -t that the fellows who have alrevi built upon the proaorty are carryinf HIS burden of taxation on THEIR improvements in pin -e of hiving it put where it belongs, on HIS land. The result is, as 1 said before. a shortage of labor by reason of inadequate dwellings, ani high labor by reason of an exeesaive cost of unimproved real estate. It would be smil between now and the data set for the Provincial elections for such bodies as the Uanodiao Manufactur- ers' Association and the Boards of Trade to look earedtlly into this question of more labor and cheaper labor. and asp ertaln for them- selves to just what extent Mr. Load Hog and our .ntt,uated sys- tem of penalising enterprise Lod programs are interfering with the proper development of the community.
