Then he made loe don my raiment aud ' he chased me out of doors, and he urged me with a pitchfork till I helped him do the choios.

Premier Whitney At Durham Durham, Nov. 22. --(World Special)- A surprise was sprung by Sir James Whitney to-tiinht when he undertook to discuss the ([ueslion of taxation on im- provements and announced that anas, .sessnient coniitteo would be appointed during the next session of tho Leuislature who would during the coming suminer's reces-5 go into tho whole question of taxation and find a remedy for exisliiu; evils. It was a pleasant admis.son on the pait of Sir James, coining as it did when e\ery body had about given ii[> hope of liiin again dealing with ihis subject to wliiih he his never cared to devote much atlontiou on the public platform. "It is a diflicult subject,' said .Sir .lames, "luul I don't like to l^ilk any- thing more about it than 1 can help.' In contnuiting the conditions of taxa- tion in Ontario, with those of the north- west, .Sir .lame.'-- said: ''It is allogethiT diU'erent here from what it is in the west. UifTorcnt niunicipalliiies are liable on bonds. There are old debts outstnndiim and the limit of taxation for ordinary ta.xalion is two per cent. If yon say that only land .ihould be t;ixed in a lowiiship, you will get into such oonfusioii that you won't get out of it for years.- "But I have said it before and I rc- |)eat it that when the fariiieis of Ontario want such now conditions of taxation no govcuiinenl will refuse lo yivo it to them.'' !;ir James urged every assessor Ui u'ot himself .saturated with tho workings of the ta.\:iiion system and ho would bo aide to adopt a definite attiuule on this question for himself. "'the assessmeiil (jf land values only is the Henry (Jeorge system,' said Sir Jnmes. "A very good man he w is, but he had a bee in his bonnet, wrote a book and died some years ago. " The premier omitted .saying anything about local option in tixaation roforin, or about giving separate municipalitius the right fo adopt ta.xatioii reform if they chose to do so.
