THE ELECTIONS.
The Provincial general elections
have given the Whitney Government
another lease of power. The prema-
ture dissolution of the Howie and the
holding of the elections at a time
when it was thought the Liberal party
would be completely dfsorgsoized no
doubt had some effect upon the re-
sults; but in spits of all handicaps the
Liberals not only held their own but
Increased their party strength in the
Legislature. The new House will
stand Conservative*, 332; Liberals.
22; Labor, 1 ; Independent, 1. There
were only eighteen Liberals in the old
House, eu that instead of being almost
entirely wiped out. ae was expected by
Conservatives of the "madames' kind,
the Opposition is somewhat strength-
ened.
A notable feature of the result wan
that in no fewer than eighteen con-
etituencies woe there a change from
one party to the other. The Liberals
won eleven seats from the Conserva-
tives, and the Conservatives won seven
seats from the Liberals. This is a
satisfactory indication that the elec-
tore are not immovable in their party
allegiance. A good candidate, an
effective organization, a well-con-
ducted campaign will bring good re-
sults even at a time when the spirit of
change is not in the air.
The election was a very quiet one,
due largely, no doubt, to the fact that
after so ninny months of agitation in
connection with Federal affairs the
people were tired of politics. Thi..
too, was to t're advantage of the party
in power. It is when people are
keenly aroused over political condi-
tions that the politicians find the elec-
tore in a responsive mood and inclined
to upset things. When they are tired
of politics they go to the polls and
vote the party ticket.
Under all the circumstances the
Liberals of Ontario have reason to
congratulate themselves upon the
showing that they have made.
The real fight in Ontario is just
commencing. With men like Mr.
Rowell, Mr. Proudfoot, Mr. MacKay
and others on the Opposition bet.ahes
and a number of awkward questions
staring hint in the face, Sir
James Whitney will hereafter be
more rm the defensive than be has
eves been in his political career hith-
erto. The administration of several
of the Departments will be vigorously
criticized, and the generally unprogres-
sive attitude of the Government will
receive many jolts. Taxation reform
will become more and more an urgent
question, as the electors beco+oe more
definitely acquainted with the issue,
an.i Sir James either will have to
make some concession to *he rising
tide of public opinion or will have to
ri.k the lose of offlre at. the next elec-
tion.. Dr. Merchant', long-de/eyed
report on bilingual schools will soon
demand attention, and the Govern-
ment will bele to take some definite
stand upon the question. The pro-
posed extension of the policy of peek
ownership to telephone trunk lines is
another matter with whkh the Gov-
ernment will soon have to deed.
A matter which must he cleared up
at the next session of the House 1. the
connection of the Provincial Treasurer

THE ASSESSMENT ACT.
To the Editor of The SiyoaL
MIR, -We noticed in The Signal a
clipping from The Mitchell Advocate
favoringthe single tax law, and we
would udge by the tone of your
paper that you also are favorable to a
change iu the Assessment Act. It is
quite true that some of the press, on
both sides of politics, appear to desire
amending the Act of 1904 under which
the present assessments ere amide.
Chapter 85, sec. 36, sub -sec. 2, reads as
follows : "In ast.eesing land having
any buildings thereon the value of the
land and budding. shall be ascertained
eepatately, and than be set down
separately in columns 13 and 14 of the
asaesement roll. and the assessment
shall he the sum of such values. The f
value of the huildings shall be the
&mom& by which the value of the 1
land is thereby increened (new)." The
argument advanced by those who
favor a change in the Act is that it is
an injustice to tax the labor or im-
provemet:ts, virtually penalizing the
progressive : but two properties equal
by nature should be ..raeesed equalh.
But if this be logical, then the laborer
who saves and then invests his savings
in land should not be taxed, as we are
penalizing him for saving.
The proposed amendment would
have the pour mac with an unim-
proved farm, poor house, inferior out-
buildings, uudrained land, taxed just
as niuch as the well-to-do with farm
free of debt, good house, fine barn.,
well fenced, well drained, etc. In
fact, the poor mac would have to be
taxed more to make up for the exemp-
tions of the rich. and in this wap he
would be bearing an additional
burden, which would prevent to some
extent needed improvements. Ev. n
greater unfairness would be found f t
exempling buildings and Improve.
menta in urban municipalities. The
poor mao'e cottage with his acre or j
quattPi acre would he assessed sod
taxed for ss touch as the lot of the
rich with its palatial residence, and
those who are least able to pay tax
now would have his tax Increased in
order tc make good the exemption of
the rich. Surely this would be Euro.
testing the rich and oppreesiog the
parr, whose mite of taxation 1, sl
ready too great._
The proposal to make the law
optional would introduce endless con-
fusion. The equalization of union
school sections, exemptions in one
township and not in another, one min
taxed for improvements and tierces
the toad his neighbor exempt and rot,
tributing to the same school tax, this
proposal. leaving this mnalter of w
great importance to the whim of the
various councils, is worse than a uni-
form law governing the asseeement in
every municipality.
The object of the Assessment A.t i•
to levy and collect needed taxes in n
fair and equitable scanner, on the
principle "power to pay." The ptet ant
Act can do no injustice to the rate-
payer.. protected as they are by the
courts of revision and a fairmitded
and intelligent aesse.or.
The present Act is a legacy of the
Roan Legislature and he it .aiid to the
credit of the Whitney Government no
band has been allowed to niutl-
fete it. whether friend or foe.

Toronto. Dec. 12. -The Government
of Bir James Whitney has been given
a four-year renewal of power. When
the ballots had been counted last
night 8ir Jame. and his Ministers
had received, in the net lots of four
supporters and the rductioo of the
majorities of his supporters nearly all
.long the line, an intimation that Lib-
eralism in Ontario has started anew.
The new Legislature will be composed
of 81 Conservatives, 25 Liberals. one
Lei.or member and ons Independent
Conservative. The Government will
thus, atter appointing a Speaker, have
• majority of 59, instead of 66 as be -
tore.
Disorganized and disheartened as
they were when Bir James Whitney
precipitated an election upon apeo-
ple already tired of politica. the Lib-
eral forces made • splendid showing.
Led by a man who, combined with
singular upr(ghteousness of character.
an ability to hit hard and often. they
put up • remarkable fight.
The Conservatives made 7 gains,
Inclttdirg North Renfrew, which went
by hoc::tmation. The Liberals made ll
gains.
Some f the Conservative members
of the est Parliament who went
down to defeat were: Phil Bowyer in
East Kent. where local considerations
entered larmly into the fight; Charles
Calder in Beath Ontario; A. Aubin in

The ex -Liberal leader, Mr. A. G.

his olrtime opponent G. M. Boyd.
This should be specially gratifying to
his personal friends who believe that
his character was traduced without

I take the result as a clear indica-

measures are expressive of the best
sentiments of Liberalism, both in the

reason to expect that the country will
by that time have wearied of the auto-
cratic and unprogressive character of

endorse our progressive policy.
I believe we may look forward

He Appreciates It.
Toronto, Dec. 12. -Sir James Whit-
ney, when asked last night to give
an opinion on the election result, was
in prime good humor. His brief state-
ment was u follows:
"At this moment, it is difficult for
me to choose proper language in
which to express the heartfelt appre-
ciation of my colleagues and myself,
and our thanks for this magnificent
endorsation by the people of Ontario
of the course pursued by us. The en-
dorsement is phenomenal indeed. It
will certainly encourage the Govern-
ment to continue Its best efforts for
the advancement and prosperity of
the people of the province, who have
given ua such signal evidence of their
confidence."
Dr. Pyne 'thanked his supporters
for electing him to the Legislature
for the fifth. time.
"I am going to stick to you," he
said. "becauseou have stuck to me.
I hope we will never see a Liberal
elected in Toronto. We did not get
as large • vote as last time, but still
there was • smaller vote polled, and
the other fellows got almost nothing.
In proportion this was just as great
a victory as that of former elections.
I thank you one and all for electing
me, and I hope you won't regret it.
"I feel quite encouraged over the
improvement of our fighting strength
in the Legislature," &aid F. G. In-
wood, provincial organizer, wben ask-
ed for his opinion of the election re -
suite in the province "The Liberals
are now able to put up a better op -
Position than before," he continued.

tonight we ars given twenty-two,

The result in South Wentworth was

that Dan Reid, the Liberal candidate,
would win out on account of the pres-
ence of Wm. Barratt, the Labor can-
didate, in the oonstltasncy.
The most important victory of the
let was, of coarse, that of Allan 8tnd-
holms, the Labor mar, who defeated
Controller Cooper by • majority of

The Name on The Sole
The "INVICTUS" name and trade-
mark on the sole means a great deal to
any shoe -buyer.
It means footwear that will stand up
tinder every test for fit, style and wear.
it therefore means more for your
money, as well as for your feet and for
your sense of pride as to appearance.
Behind that trade -mark is the assur-
ance of an honest -made shoe --the shoe
you should always buy.
