BY=LAW NO. 16, 1912
of the Corporation of the
Township of Turnberry.'
PARLIAMENT AT WORK,.
The ?econd session of the Twelfth
Parliament of Canada has fairly eons•
menaed, and indications, point much
useful legislation.
The session started with the legis-
lative program in good shape, The
cabinet has been working long and
hard, and seldom has parliament open•
ed with a ministry so well prepare&
The departmental reports also are
nearly all in shape, while the esti,
mates will also be presented at an
early date. There will be none of the
interminable delays which marked
the Laurier regime, when the House
waited weeks at a time for the cabinet
to bring down its legislation.
The big outstanding question of the
session is of course the proposal of
Premier Borden to make an emer-
gency contribution to the navy of the
empire, An early annoucement of
the policy of the government is ex-
pected from the Premier. At time .of
writing this, the announcement has
not been made, and the country
awaits it with interest.
One of the first measures which will
be brought down by the government
will be the Bank Act, which will 'be
introduced by Lion, W. T, White.
No authoritative announcement'as , to
the measurewill be made until it is
introduced by the minister, but it
understood that there will be a num-
ber of important amendments looking
towards the protection of depositors
and the general public, and towards
the prevention of the serious failures
which have occurred within recent
years.
Hon. George E. Foster will intro-
duce.in the House a bill to ratify the
West Indies trade agreement, This
has already been approved by the
British West Indian legislatures, and
it is hoped to have it ratified by the
Dominion parliament iia time to go
into effect by January 1.
Another important bill which will
be introduced shortly after the open-
ing
pening of the House will be a measure to
assist agriculture in the provinces.
This was one of the planks of the
party in opposition, to give further
encouragement in agriculture and
to. co-operate more closely with the
provincial governtnents in fostering
the industry. Last session before
a permanent policy was decided upon,
subsidies were granted to the pro-
vinces op a basis of population, under
agreement with the Dominion govern-
ment. Half a million dollars was
voted by parliament, and the plan
worked out very successfully.
Another measure which promises to
take considerable time of the House
is' the consolidation of the Railway
Act. Samuel Price, K. C., of St.
Thomas, Oat., has had the work in
hand for some time, and the con-
solidated bill will be introduced early
in the session. It is understood that
there will be a number of important
amendments. One new clause will be
to prevent. the wholesale granting of
blanket charters.
These are but a few of the measures
which will be introduced this session
and which promise to make it the
•
most memorable since Confederation,

SANTA CLAUS
FROM THE SEA
AN and Jack and little black
Topsy rubbed their eyes and
stared about them. A big
wave had landed them high
and dry on a sandy !stand.
"All shipwrecks are horrid," said
Jack. "13ut I think 1 can find some-
thing to eat, and
if you are cold,
why, you and Top-
sy can lie down
and let me cover
sou with warm
sand, and then
I'll go and look
about.
"Now, goodby,"
said Jack, "I'm
going to look •for
food." And he
marched off like
a man, with his
hands in his pock-
ets.

"I'll AwiP L'LLT Oram a

You CAME."know It is the
day before Chri:stinas and we won't
get a single present tomorrow?"
But Topsy was not despondent.
"What's de mattah wid Marse Santa
Cletus?" she demanded. "Ain' he corn
In' to dis islan'? Dat's wbut I ask."
"Why, Topsy," explained little Nan
patiently, '"how could be? His rein-
deer couldn't crag the water."
"Let hint come In a boat, den. Dat's
what 1 say. Let him come in a boat,"
said Topsy fiercely.
"Ob," said Nan, "but I am afraid he
can't."
Suddenly Topsy sat up and pointed
a skinny black tenger toward the sea.
"It's a boat," site said, "a little boat.
and it's coming here,"
Nearer and nearer came the little
boat, and presently Topsy shrieked:
"it's Marse Sauta•Claus. Aliss Nannie,
It's Marse Santa Claus, and ire's coin -
In' straight to dis yer 'shin'. Didn't 1
tole ser? Didn't 1 tole yer he'd come?"
The man in the boat bad a nice
white beard. Ile had on a red sweater
and wore a soft teat pulled well down
over his ears. As be climbed out of
the bons they srrvv that he was very
round and rat and hada jolly red face.
When he had pulled the boat up out
of the water he leaned over and picked
up a' great bag and slung it over his
shoulder and came trotting up the
beach,
"It truly is Santa," said Nan breath-
lessly, "and he is coming straight to-
ward us. 1 am going to run right
down and meet hien."
Away she sped, her golden curls fly-
ing behind her, and when she reached
the old man she slipped her hand into
his confidingly.
"I'm awfully glad you came, Santa,"
she said. "We were so frightened and
lonely, end maybe you can tell us what
to do."
The old man stood still and stared at
her. Then Ire:chuckled.
"Weil, Weill" lie said. "Where did
you come from?"
Just then .lack come running down
the betel!.
"It's Santa Claus," called Nan as
-;oou as he was within hearing.
But Jack was older than Topsy and
Nan, and he had his doubts. "Are you
really Santa Clans?" he asked gravely
The old titan winked. "Don't 1 look .
dice him?" he said.
"'lts," said Jack, "you do."
"Ain't I got a pack on my back?" he
asked.
"Fes.,, said Jack, "but it looks like
,totatoes and not toys."
Then the old man leaned down and
whispered in his ear: "That's jes' what
it is, but if them
:ittle dears wants
to think I'm San.
ta,why, let 'ern
think it. It wont
ain't anybody, will
it?"
• "No," said Jack,
'it won't.."
"Well, then,"

'that being de.

"Diuner7" said
Jack. in surprise.

TAX REFORM MQYEMENT.
(From Guelph Herald.)
That the Assessment Act now in
force has many defects, and is al-
together too lenient towards vacant
land, is generally admitted. There is
a tendency generally towards taxing
land and ceasing to penalize the man
who proceeds to improve his house or
store, but whether the tax . shall be
placed altogether on land, or the bulk
of the tax assessed' against the Iand,
and the balance put on the buildings
thereon, is a hard nut to crack, and
has advocates for and against,
The problem is one that has been
long unsolved, and in all likelihood no
matter what is proposed by way of
improvement, it will be discovered
that it, too, has defects. of one thing,
however, there is no doubt --the single
taxers have made great headway the
past few years, and appear to have
strong support still, though it ie
difficult to perceive how, under such a
system, the poor man with a goodly
sized garden and lot is going to escape
paying more taxed.
The advocates of tax reform point
with enthusiasm to Western Canada,
where it is said the land tax system
has wrought wonders, Yet a few
days ago the Brockville Times pub-
lished the details of the Single Tax
bill demanded of a subscriber in In-
nisf'all, Altai, (see note below) its which
the rate jumped from 2i mills in 1011
to 46 mills in 3.012, and the unexpect-
ed difficulties which cropped up in
connection with the enforcement of
the new Single Tax Act were so great
issue
beeame themain
that the matter
t
of the annual convention of the Union
of Alberta Municipalities held last
Septtmber at Innisfail, According to
an article in the Canadian Courter the
smaller towns were very hard hit, and
at the meeting at Innisfail there were
representatives present from towns
where the tax rate under the new Act
had jumped as high as (don't read this
if you have a weak heart). $ trolls on
the the dollar
Notwithstanding this, the advoeaatea
of the land tax deoiaro it is the fairest
method of distributing the taxes
amongst the ratepayers.
Norm;. ---The tax bill referired. to, was
published in last week's Advance ; It
is worth noting.
