WHO IS RIGHT?
'fhe Editor does not hold hituseif responelble
for the Inters exuressed by correspondent8. Ivor (toes he always hold the seine.
views es expressed by correspondents.
Dear Sir,—I understand that Mr,
Gurney has issued a writ against Mr.
Pringle, forbidding him so manufaoture
gloves and mitts, I, although an un•
intereated party, felt enough interest iz,,
thia business to probe down into details.
Here they are: We are all aware that
a few yearn two Messrs. Pringle and,
Groves rented the then idle plant (Tau -
nary and Glove Faotory) paying for
same $100 00 per annum, and business
tax added thereto. Atter a year tiler
partoership was dissolved, Mr. Pringle
asenmfeg lull control and eventually
buying the whole plant, always employ.:
ed at least from four up to ten girls in
the manufacture of mitts and gloves,
Three years Ago the glove department
was rented to Mr. Garner, Mr. Pringle.
still owning the, glove machinery he
previously owned, turning the same
over to Mr. Gurney for his use in that
department, Mr. Garvey paying $120.00
per annum for rooms and heat. The
power nsed was paid by the girl opera-
tors. When • Mr. Gurney rented the
above, there were in Mr. Pringle's em-
ploy four Sret plass operators, Mr.
Gurney did not then, nor has he since
paid any business tax to the town. All
remember the fire, when the whole plant
was destroyed. Mr. Priugie was Im-
mediately approached by some of the
influential oitizens, who requested him
to rebuild. A public) meeting was cal-
led, when Mr, Pringle made the follow-
ing offer: Thatif the town would loan
him $4000 00 at 4% for ten years, pay-
able in ten annual instalments, he would
rebuild the plant, the minimum Dost
bring $7000 00 giving the town the firet
and only mortgage. The by-law was
duly submitted and finally carried, be-
coming law the 18th day of December,
allowing ample time for any ratepayer
to protest the paying of loan. No pro-
test was offered, no complaint made,
until the faotory was built, and an up-
to-date plant installed, and everything
in flrst•olass running order, when Mr.
Gurney iseaed the writ, claiming that
the bylaw has been infringed upon.
How that infringement oan be proven
is a mystery, as the by-law distinctly
states that Mr, Pringle must rebuild
and improve his former manntaoturing
establishment. What was it? Tannery
and Faotory, which most deoidedly be-
longed to Mr. Pringle and not to Mr,
Gurney. Now some are oritizing Mr.
Pringle; but in all fairness, what has
the town done for him? They give him.
$20.00 per year; he gives them directly
$120 00 in taxes, eleotrio light and
water, besides paying a weekly wage of
about $75.00, which will yet increase as
the business develops, Now in closing,
we wish Mr, Gurney the greatest pos-
sible snooeas, but in that success we
would not like the possibilities of Mr,
Pringle to be onrtailed in the slightest,
he who has been associated with Wing -
ham for the past twenty -nye years; he
was cradled in out midst; and we hope
he and Mr. Gurney may be shining
lights in this our Burg for many years
yet to come.
Respectfully yours
A RATEPAYER,
Whiterhnroh, Feb. 14, 1910,
To the Editor of the Times:—
Dear Sir,—Since work in the bosh is
nearly done in these parte, we have
time to tlunk and complain. Myself and
neighbor were saying taxation was not
just, It is this way: A man buys a
farm for $3,500 and pays $1,200 oath,
the balance he borrows. He is taxed
for the whole of that farm and does
statute labor. yet he does not own half
of it. The man who owns most of the
farm probably does not pay income tax,
We claim the man who lends the money
on the farm should pay his just share of
taxation. They have a law in England
whereby money lenders,pay their share
of taxation. Now is the time to talk of
these matters and also railway. taxation.
At eleotioti times you cannot get a word
in as then it is always party. hoping
you will find specie for this. L am,
Yours truly, •

Toronto, Feb. 14.-0attle—Trade was
brisk and prices steady and firm at the
same level as the week -end markets of
last 'week. There was a good run of
cattle offering, comprising, all told,
about 90 oars, with 1795 head of cattle,
16 calves, 15 hogs, 42 sheep and 91 horses.
The demand to -day was chiefly for the
local butcher trade, and as more than
halt the total receipts were held over
for the export market to -morrow, the
number of cattle available for bntoher
purposes was not large, and pricee were
easily maintained. One load of extra
choice bntoher°, about 1000 lbs, sold at
$5.65. Among the export cattle are
some middling good loads, but nothing
extra choice, but anything good enough
for shipping is firm at $6 to $6.25. Cows
and bulla are 'in good demand either
buto hers or export. Sheep and lambs
are steady: very few offering:
lambs quoted $7 to 7,25: sheep $4 50 to
$6. Hogs -The market is again firmer,
with light offeting: Beleate quoted firm
