But they are not true. The Provincial Government does not levy on taxes, nor does it collect any taxes in the ordinary sense of the term. What we generally understand as a tax is what is levied on our property or income. The Ontario Government does not place any valualion on your property or Jovy a tax upon it, e revenue for the ad- minstration of this province is derived from various sources but de are called in- direct. For instance large sums are de- rived from Succession "Duties and come out of large estates. The amount re- ceived: last year from this source was From lands and forests; $3 221, 280 was received. Amounts collect ed from corporations reached $3,890.000. From the enforcement of the O.T.A. $1,732,042. These are only a few of several sources from which monies are derived. The total collected for the year closing October 1922, was $38,507,000. In comparison. with this; the 'total re. venue for 1919, th: last: year of the pre- vious government, was only $19,900,000. In other words the present government while it has spent much more money than was spent in former years, has taken in more than it has spent so that it was able to close the year ending in October 1922, fwith a gratifying surplus. Itis not to be supposed. that with the pulation growing as it has grown in ntario since | and with the wealth and assets of the province increasing rapidly, ae every one knows, that the necessary expenditures would not in- crease. The grantsumade by the Govern- t to education, to Mother's Allow- ances, to public institutions and other im- | portant establishments, make the expendi- tures, of 'course; considerably larger than in previous years. What really has hap- pened is that the Province, under the resent Government, has done so much larger volume: of 'business on behalf of the people und has done it more efficiently and profitably. Some one may ask. What about the increasesin the public debt? My answer is that .it. is true there has been an increase, quite a large one, in fact, as against three or four 'years ago, but this too is all satisfactorily explained in the Public Accounts which are open to every citizen. Much of the increase has n due to advances made for Hydro electiic development. Over $70,000,000 has bsen added to the debt in this one way, but no person should overlook that this and other sudertakings, such as the T.& N. O. Railway and development of the Nosthern rt'of Ontario are revenue ey should not be as a debt. The Legislature voted these sums and every item can 'be easily 'ex. plained and justified. It is an easy thing to day that the Gov- emment has increased the debt.

'The Cross of St. George which is |' the red cross on a white ground was | not a flag. It was a badge which the | followers of St. George wore. 'Many famous battles were fought under it. The i cross 'of St. Andrew which was a white cross on a blue back- ground was the badge of the Scotch followers of St. Andrew. A Then James of Scotland 1 of England came to the throne to rule both countries. These badges were united into one flag in sixteen hund- red and six and called the "Union Jack" It remained the same for nearly two hundred years. _ There are several reasons given for calling the emblem the "Union Jack." From King James' name Jacques it is supposed that the word Jack was derived. The leather coats which the men wore were called Jacques. The Union Jack first hoisted | in the navy was put on a Jack staff. English navy men are called jacks, and we get the word union from the joining of the two countries. Thus the Union Jack obtained its name, In the year eighteen hundred Ire- land united with England and Scot- land. Ireland had her own badge the cross of St. Patrick, the diagonal cross on the white back ground. Pat- rick was well know as the patron saint of (Ireland. He introduced Christianity into that country. The Union Jack was changed on New Year's day, eighteen hundred and one. There was difficulty in fitting these crosses together on account of 'the two red crosses coming together in the centre. Therefore, it was ar- ranged that the white margin should be left around the edge of St. George's cross to indicate the white back ground as well.

W. 'Moon of Seagrave, became the bride of Adam E. Wallace, son of Mr. and 'Mrs. R. J. Wallace, of Bolton. The ceremony was conducted by. Rev, T. A. Carmi- chael. The bride looked lovely in her trav- eling suit of navy tricotine, and large blue picture hat, and fox fur. She wore a corsage bouquet of tulips and fern. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Ila C. Moon, the groom being suported by Mr. William Keen. After the reception at the bride's home, the happy couple left by motor for a short honeymoon amid the good wishes of all their friends. * They will reside in Seagrave.
