the Goverment have a strong abhorrence
for every appearance of evil ; yet by the
working out of this Act they unwitting-
ly place themselves in the position of
offering a bribe to a municipality by
wiping out a debt it is justly entitled to
pay.
I knon from what information I
have on the subject that this policy is
working out very unfairly, The Pro-
vincial Secretary will find many instan-
ces of a small municipality having to
support three or four weak-minded pa-
tients, while an adjoining municipality,
with perhaps twenty times the assesses
valve, hasn't one to support. There can
be no doubt that under this system the
insane will not be so .well eared for as
they formerly were. Under the present
Hees Ola al' - "The present fiat rate of t0 =oh per
m'le, $60, is unfair. Each corporation
should contribute according to paying
power, based on net receipts. The net
earnings of the railways in the Derain
ion for 1900 were $88,193 430 or ;31,770,
per mile. Assuming that the Ontario
roads earned no more than $1.770, they
would at least give a net income of
513,000,000. Bat this is the situation;
Railways, with gross earntnge of 55,081
per mile, and net earnings of $1,770 per
mile, contribute in round figures for
municipal and Provincial taxes, $100 per
mile, or from a total net income of $13,-
000,000 they pay $700,000 in taxes. It
seems unfair that a company with the
earning power of the Canada Southern
should not contribute any more to the
public revenue than, say the C. P. R.
between Toronto and Owen Sound. The
railways should pay according to their
ability, as well as farmers and businese
men.
