('H.AN(:ES IN ASSESSMENT M'l'. 'Municipalities May Partially Exempt Dwellings. Toronto April 1. -Legislation giving municipalities power to give partial ex- emption from taxation on the homes of people of moderate means will be brought down by the Government at the present session of the House. The special assessment committee of the Legislature tonight adopted a recommendation by Sir Wittam Hearst, providing for a graded exemption upon t11e following basis: Houses assessed at not more than 82.000, to be taxed on 50 per cent. of their value. Houses assessed at not more than $2. - 500, to be taxed un 60 per cent. of their value. Houses assessed at not more than -t3.- 000, to be taxed on a e0 per cent. basis. Houses assessed at not more than 84.- 000, to be taxed on a (0 per cent. basis. All houses exceeding 8.1.000 in value. to pay taxes on their full valuation. Sir William explained that it was pro- posed to give rural municipalit es similar 'power to enable them to exempt all farm buildings upon the basi given. It was also thought well to give authority to ' municipalities to entirely exempt the homes of soldiers. The Prime Minister also announced the readiness of the Government to agree to an increased exemption on per sonal earnings, arid, following his state- ment, a motion was adopted making the exemption to householders aad heads of families in c.ties 81.700. instead of $l,5011, and in other places 81.400 instead of 81.200.

In its pace we shall have little Britain, a narrow strip of island territory, peopled by loutish football -kickers, living on crumbs that Germany will begin to throw to them. Whatever this war may bring' in Its train, certain it is that the laughable and childish military system of Britain will shortly fall to pieces. Then the once' mighty Empire, with her naval strength1 represented by the few old tubs which Germany will have left her, will become the laughing stock of nations. a scarecrow at which children will point their fingers l in disdainful glee." .Advertise i11 The Nign:,l.
