It is generally conceded, that land values are community values. They are created by the growth of the community .and its public expendi- tures. Increase in population and the consequent increase of public expendi- ture for community purposes increases the land values. Improvements to private properties are readily seen to be the result of individual industry and expenditure. It isnecessary to recognize this fundamental difference between land values and improvement values to appreciate fully the wisdom and justice of the proposed change in the system. It must also be remem- bered that the aggregate of individual expenditures on improvements bene- fits not only the individual but the city as a whole and helps to increase the land values as a whole, and for this reason should be encouraged in every possible way. It should also be borne in mind that a tax on an article increases its cost and to that extent limits its use or consumption. If a city fines a man with a tax for spending money to im- prove his property (though he thereby benefits the city as a whole) it will re- strict the number and value of im. provements. This will reduce em- ployment in the building trades, which are the most important indus- tries in any city. This in turn reacts on the city's growth by discouraging increase in population. If, on the other hand, a city taxes its land values, it draws its necessary revenues from a fund created by itself, which is the honest method, and in so doing not only does not restrict the increase in those land values, but actually tends to further increase them by im- proving the city with the necessary money so taken in taxes. If a city ceased to collect taxes on improve- ments, businesses and incomes and raised all its revenues from its land values, it will be apparent, in the light of the foregoing axioms, that it would "stimulate industry, create more rapid growth in population, in- crease land values and secure to labor a larger share of its earnings." It will also be manifest that a city in taxing individual values (improve- ments, businesses and incomes) is em- ploying a tax method which is "unjust, economically uhsound and dishonest." And the city of Vancou- ver is at the present time demonstrat- ing the truth of these propositions. The proposed amendment to the provincial assessment act will only permit municipalities to change their present system of taxation on a ma- jority vote of their property owners so desiring. Some Men Drink Farms. An exchange gives the following which has been true in many cases :— My homeless friend with a chromatic nose, while you are stirring up the sugar in that ten cent glass of gin, let me give you facts to wash it down with. You say you longed for the free independent life of a farmer, but have never been able to get enough money together to buy a farm. But this is just where you are mistaken. For several years you have been drinking a good farm at the rate of 100 feet a gulp, If you doubt this statement figure it out yourself. An acre of land contains 43,560 square feet. Estimating for convenience sake the land at $43.56 per acre ; you will see that brings the land to 1 mill per square foot, 1 cent for ten square feet. Now pour the fiery dose and imagine you are swallowing a strawberry patch. Call on five of your friends and have them gulp down that 500 - foot garden. Get on a prolonged spree some day and see how long a time it requires to swallow a pasture large enough to feed a cow. AVOID HARSH DRUGS. Many Cathartics Tend To Cause Injury To The Bowels. If you are subject to constipation you should avoid strong drugs and cathartics. They only give temporary relief and their reaction is harmful and sometimes more annoying than constipation. They in no way effect a cure and their tendency is to weaken the already weak organs with which they come in contact. We honestly believe that we have the best constipation treatment ever devised. Our faith in it is so strong that we sell it on the positive guaran- tee that it shall not coat the user a cent if it does not give entire satisfac- tion and completely remedy consti- pation. This preparation is called Rexall Orderlies. These are prompt, soothing, and most effective in action, They are made of a recent chemical discovery. Their principal ingredient is odorless, tasteless, and colorless. Combined with other well-known in- gredients; long established for their usefulness in the treatment of con- stipation, it forms a tablet which is eaten just like candy. They many be taken at any time, either day or night, without fear of their causing any in- convenience whatever, They do not gripe, purge, nor cause nausea. They act without causing any pain or ex- cessive loos asses of the bowels. They are ideal for children, weak, delicate persons, and aged people, as well as for the most hearty person, They eome in three size packages, 12 tablets, 10o ; 30 tablets, 23e ; 30 tablets, 5oc. Remember, yon can obtain them only at oury�store—.The he Itexall Store, Nstr feltibbon, Apple Picking Record. Two boys, Harry Coyle and Gordon McDonald near Colborne, undertook to pick 50 barrels of apples in tine: hours. They commenced at 12 30 and finished at 4 47, filling the contract with 13 minutes to spare, the average timefor a barrel being five minutes, 8i seconds. This is a record, and .the time was kept by five of their friends. The Smallest Baby. The smallest baby ever born in the county was left by the stork at the home of Ernest Ancell and wife, near St. Louis, last week. It is a boy, and weighs only 11 pounds. Its hands are no larger than a man's thumb nail. Aside from its diminutiveness it is a normal, healthy child; so it is said. He Wanted Another. "Madam," said the tramp, you gave me three doughnuts a while back, Would you mind adding another one to make it four ?" "Gladly," said the lady, all smiles, and she wrapped a big doughnut in a newspaper and handed it to him. "So you like my dough- nuts, do you ?" "No, madam, it ain't that," said the tramp. "Me and some friends down in the holler wants to have a game of quoits." Local Option Contests. Full 100 municipalities in Ontario will vote on local option by-laws at New Years. In Bruce County there will be several contests-Lucknow and Hepworth villages, Greenock and Kin- loss townships having campaigns under way. In Tara • a repeal vote will be taken. Among other places where the measure is to be submitted are the cities of Belleville, Chatham, Fort William and Port Arthur ; towns —Berlin, Forest, Goderich, Listowel, Mitchell, Ridgetown, Simcoe and Uxbridge. Owen Sound will also vote on repeal. More Cheerful View. Even "authorities" differ. A short time ago, we had a prediction from one weather -man that the coming winter was to be very severe. Here is another more cheerful predictor, who predicts an open fall and mild winter, basing his belief on the scarcity of beech nuts, the thin plumage of fowl and the direction of the wind when the sun crossed the line. This is all very nice to contemplate, but the wise man will have his fuel supply provid- ed ahead and his snow shovel hanging in a corner handy to get at. flow To Save Money. If a young=man were determined to save three car fares a week, and to pay the 15 cents thus saved every week until he was 60 to the Canadian Government for the purchase of an Annuity, the result of his thrift would be that from and after 60 he would receive $25.18 every 3 months so long as he lived. If he died before he was 60 all that he paid in with three per cent. compound interest would be refunded to bis heirs, and if he died just before his first instalment of Annuity fell due his heirs would in- herit $771.70. A postcard sent to the Superintendent of Canadian Govern- ment Annuities, Ottawa, giving your age last birthday, will secure you information as to what an Annuity will cost, Entered 100111 Year. The Teeswater News reports the following ;—It is with pleasure that we announce this week the birthday of Mr. James Whytock, sr., of Culross, perhaps the oldeet gentleman in Western Ontario, which event took place on the 23rd of this month when he celebrated his 99th birthday, and from that day started on his 100th year. A wonderful old man is James Whytock. He is still healthy and gives promise of living for a number of years still. His intellect is good and he can crack a joke and enjoy One as well as ever. Not long ago an old friend remarked that he would see 100 years. He said—"Yes, and I will just put down a mark like this (mak- ing a figure 1) and start over again." Vee hope he may. Space Annihilated. Not many years ago it was a very common thing to hear a man say—"I am from such and such a county." Who ever hears or speaks of counties nowadays P The passing of the ox- team and the coming of the horseless carriage have obliterated county lines. flow long does a county last with a forty horse power automobile whiz- zing along the toad 2 The 20th Cen- tury Limited trains almost as effec- tually dispose of state lines. When you can leave New York late in the afternoon and be in Chicago early the following morning, one city is little more than a suburb of the other. And if the aeroplane becomes a practi- cal thing, what will become of the international lines ? When a man can sit at his desk in Boston and talk to a man who is at his desk in Chi- cago, and close a business transaction without either man leaving his chair, each recognizing the other's voice, what matters it if there are three or four states separating their bodies P Their minds have mat more quickly than Could have been the Case had they been In adjoining buildings 25 years ago.
