It has been figured up, in . Gleh- garry, that it costs as much to edu- cate a minister as a doctor, a lawyer or a scientist, and that while these secular get salaries running all the way from $2,000 per year to $5,000 and $10,000, and $15,000, and occasionally to $20,000, the man who is responsible, as far as he dare assume it, for the morals of the peo- ple, or their spirituality, gets $500 a year upward, and but be named in Ontario with of $7,000, It will be in order for the clergy presently to consider whether they are up against the contingencies that con- front the professional men in other walks of life. = The captains of indus- try, and the leaders in law and science, are men © 'who do big things, the things that do not come in the way. of 'the clergy. The members of the cloth are teachers, only 'that and nothing more, They vary, of course, in the quality of their tdaching, and they are men of large or larger in- fellows from one can a salary THE SALARIES OF MEN. It pn Busiice according as they sre able to swing moral sefitiment or public opin- jon by their words or counsel. The average clergyman confines his work to the pulpit. Pastoral visita- tion is -not-so--much in evidence now as in the days of the pioneers who lived 86 close to the people and be- came their guide in all things. Great sermbns may move the masses, but the cffect of them is transitory. Gieat lives aré better teacrers, and more impressing, and the influence of per- sonal contact remains while the in- fluence of a passing thought is uick- ly dost and forgotien. There ia 1cally no compromise between the minister and the doctor and the scientist in his work. They are moved by difierent ambitions and are satisfied with dif- ferent results, and if it there is no reason why the men, who mould the lives of men, who shakes them better by his . personality, Mand preaching, should not be far removed from all physicial wants and made free and comfortable in the pursuit of the highest and the best of eallings. Budget night in the city council is no longer regarded with the feeling of awe which prevailed in former days. It meant something to raise the fax rate twenty-five years ago, when al: dermen talked of dollars as they now do of doughnuts, when an addition of half a mill to the tax account of the individual called for explanations which the finance committee handed out with infinite care. It may be that sometimes the léss said the better. The budget speech of Hon. Mr. White was one of unexampled brevity, and for several reasons. He was a new man in oflice. He was a little nnoer- tain about. his bearings. He was tell- Jing a story. which eonterned andthe one quite as much, if not more, than it concerned himself, He was talking of large expenditures as well as re eeipts; and he ' was not eager to ex- them. And the estimates were before the members. It was much the same, but on a modified plan, with the mayor, who in Kingston, curiously enough, and in Kingston only; is the chairinan of the finance committee. The receipts of the council are limit- ed. They can be figured within a few hundred 'dollars in any year. The bulk of them are taxes, and they are not rolling in with a volume caleu- lated to strain the treasury because the growth of assessment is very slow. The expenditure is, however, uncheck- ed or uncheckable. The demands upon the city .inerease from year to year. The résult is that there has been an addition ie the rate of a mill and a ball, Tt should hdve been two mills, to make ends meet easily, and it is not well to ipvite deficits. They are bound to follow when a reasonable margin is not left between the revenue and expenditures - A deficit is not dis posed of by an entry on the balance sheet. It is" an inconvenient liability which has to be met. There are many increases in the ex- penditure, and increases which could not be avoided. The larger items TAX RATE IS INCREASED. ------ -- hospital, on account of the new wing it is proposed to build; the demands of the school board, the fire depart- ment and the police commissioners, for the increased pay of the teachers, the firemen and the police; the provision for the improvement of schools, and the increase of salaries to the city officials, made necessary by the in- ereased. cost of living. The whole made an exhibit of ominous propor- tions aid yet one that was costem- plated by 'the council in a philosophic manner. pi The only serious amendment propos- od 'was defeated, and without any qualms of consequence. The Utilities Committee has bgcome convinced, ap- parently, of the advisability of meng uring all 'the water that is used by the larger consumers, and as meters have been installed in the hospitals it was suggested, through the chairman of the committee, that the grants to the institutions should be increased by the estimated increase in the cost of the sérvice. The council said nay, to this proposition, and very properly so. The rate should 'be made ad low as possible--water for hospitals should be supplied at the actual cost of pumping and delivery--but it should be paid for-in order that the comsum- ers may see the wisdom of practising economy. There are times when the oné pump- ing engine can not do 'more than maintain a certain pressure during certain hours of the day. There is an inexcusable waste of water. To stop this waste the water committee some years ago put meters in many places, and they were hardly installed until they were: removed. Now they are being 'redorted to agdin, 'and the ad- vantage of them is pot to be secured by increases in grants which might de: feat the very purpose which the com: mittee has in view, With this one exception, over which there was a brief and strenuous time, the council was prepared to pass the budget and send it on for the consid: eration, or condemnation, of the nn- terrified taxpayers. them can be measured.
