Income Tax On Places Where Liquor Is Sold Is That To Be Collected For 1916. Clause 146 of the Ontario Temper- ance Act just passed means a loss of $1,458 in taxes to the city this year. The clause reads as follows: "Notwithstanding provisions of the Assessment Act, no distillery, brewer, maltster or holder of a tav- ern or shop license, or a club in which spirituous or fermented li- quors are furnished, shall be liable for, nor shall any municipal corpora- tion levy or collect from any such person or club, any taxes for the year 1916 in respect of business as- sessment." . By the clause the city wil] lose its business tax by reason of the reduc- tion in the assessment, while the Government will got the war tax on the full assessment taken in 1915, "It should not go into force until the taxes for 1917 are being collected." said an alderman. 'To strike the taxes off the liquor business for the year 1916, is manifestly unfair where a municipality collects taxes on an assessment taken the previous year. By making it apply to 1917, it would practically be an instruction © the assessors as to what they should do in taking the assessments this year." The income tax paid by hotels amounts to $1,152; by liquor stores $207 and by the Frontenac Club $98. Sir Sam's Privilege, Montreal Mail General Sir Sam Hughes, Minister of Militia, has been attacked pretty generally in the press of Canada of late, and he was entitled to the op- portunity to defend his conduct re- garding the munition business, of which he availed himself in Parlia- ment yesterday. Many of his press critics, as the Minister indicated, do patriotic work by stealth and blush to find it politics. At the same time, it is necessary. to recall that a Parliamentary en- quiry has been appointed to investi- gate the matters of which General Hughes spoke yesterday, Relatively speaking, the time for talk is past: what is really important now is evi One Millicn Seven Hundred and Twenty -four Thousand Dollars for New Buildings in Canada Since the War Began WHY ? Is Canada prosperous? Are we justified in havi dence to put on full activities? The experience of the Canadian Ford Compa: since that never-to-be-forgotten Aue. 1, 1914, indi- cates that courage and: confidence should be away above par, that we are fully justified in casting aside putting our fu energy into an aggres- sive a ve business policy. It was some time before the outbreak of war that the Ford Canadian Company decided on an extremely broad policy of expansion. If the demand for Ford ears should increase in the that it had every indication of doing, then new buildings would have to be started at once to enable the company to meet this demand. 'When war came the Ford Canadian executives saw no reason to change their plans--their confidence in Canada's prosperity never wavered. So work was begun on a new building at Ford City costing $452,000. This is used as an addition to the office building and to the main factory building. It adds 130,000 square feet of floor space to the Ford Plant, bringing the total up to more than 9 acres. Then followed a new machine shop costing $90,000. The power plant was also enlarged at a cost of $110,000. In four leading Canadian cities, handsome new buildings were erected as branch assembly plants, sales and service stations. Each one is as large as many automobile factories. All are of similar con- struction, being modern fire-proof buildings of brick and reinfor concrete trimmed with mat glazed terra cotta. The bases are of granite. The interiors are finished and fitted in accordance with the very best modern practice. One of the branch buildings is located at Montreal, '119139 Laurier Ave., East. It is a four story build- Ing containing 124,000 square feet of floor space and i 33,000. Over 100 people are employed the courage and confi- ahead in our business The Ford branch at Toronto, 672-682 Dupont St.; is a five-story building containing 132,000 square feet of floor space. The number of employes is about 150, The third new branch building is at London, On- tario at 680-690 Waterloo Street, It is a three story structure having 49,872 square feet of floor space and was erected at a cost of $161,000. The imm sely increasing demand for Ford cars in Western Canada rade it n to build a fourth new branch at Winpipez. This is a handsome five story building located at the corner of Portage Avenue and Wall Street. A quarter of a million dollars was put into its construction. Thatotal cost of these new buildings erected by the Tor@Canadian Company since war beganis $1,724,000 Additional to this are thousands of dollars spent to equip these buildings. Why has this been done? * First, to provide Ford owners with greater service facilities. Each of these branches is so completely equipped with parts and machinery as to be able to build Ford ear complete. Also they act as a base for the hundreds of Ford dealers in their part of the coun- try, each of whose place of business isa well equipped Ford service station, in giving more rapid and more efficient service to Ford owners. The second reason for this great amount of develop- ment work is to be found in the attitude of the Ford Canadian executives. If these men had followed the policy of many Canadian manufacturers they, with seeming good judgment, might have held up pst plana for po enormously expensive construction, work. But such was not their attitude. They were con~ vine at progress and prosperity were assured in Canada. : This decision was of vast benefit to Canadian indus- tries, Canadian merchants and Canadian workmen in such a critical time as this. Practically allthematerial for these buildings was purchased in Canada. Cuna- dian, workmen were employed in their construction. And after the construction work was over, the whole community benefitted from the enthusiastic, success- ful, wealth producing and distributing activities of these big establishments.

It must be pointed out, however, that the criticism directed at the mu- nition business in Canada has not all been inspired by politics, not by any means.

Christian Guardian, Toronto. Ine late Rev. k. B. Ryckman, D. D., was deeply interested in the mis- sion work of our church, and as 'a member of the General Board and Executive for many years was held in the highest possible regard. His last visit to the Mission Rooms was on Thursday, Feb. 3rd. He then | said that he had noticed in the Chris- | tion Guardian that the receipts for the General Fund were not equal to| those of the same date last year, and | that therefore he desired to make his | contribution now. He enquired if, by paying the amount in Toronto, it} could be credited to the particular church of which he was a member | namely, Sydenham Church, King: | ston, and seemed very much gratified ! when told that that could readily be | done. He then drew out his cheque | book and wrote a cheque for $150, being his contribution to the Mission- | ary Society for the current year, He | was apparently in good health and | spirits, as capable of transacting bu- | siness and as amiable and genial as! he had always been to those at the! Mission Rooms, who had known him | all along through the years and had | easily learned to love and esteem his | saintly character, | On April 14th the General Superin | tendent received a letter from his | son, E. B. Ryckman, barrister, Tor- | onto, in which he enclpsed a cheque, | on his father's behalf, for $1,000, and said: "In an informal testa- mentary paper which my father wrote with his own hands four days before he passed away, and certainly not expecting that the time was so near at hand, he said, 'I have not been a money-seeker, yot I declare, to the praise of the good Providence to whom I committed myself at the beginning, that without care, effort or concern of mine, my temporal wants have always heen abundantly supplied. My worldly possessions are but small.' Then, speaking of his bal- ance at the bank, and no doubt be- cause the sum presently mentioned was a relatively large portion of It, he said, 'I desire that $1,000 of that balance be given as a donation to the Methodist Missionary Society, for the purposes of the general fund, as the Board of Management may deter- mine. 1 dispose of that amount in this way, not with the slightest thought of improving my prospects of future blessedness, but simply be- cause I love the kingdom of God on earth and the missionary cause or the Church to which I belong, and have confidence in thé integrity and wisdom of the officers and members of the Board of Management; besides I am herein following the example of my now gainted wife. My hope of eternal life, rests solely upon the love' and mercy of God through the de- demption that is in Christ."

It seems just to say that the intro- duction of the McGarry bill' in the Legislature is a confession that Mr. Clancy has, substantially, made his case against the Hydro-Electrie Com- mission. = There is, apparently, neo ground for the r'diculous protension that the bill endangers public owner- ship or affects the public usefulness of Mr. Beck. It provides, merely, we understand, means, which may be re- tied on, oblige the Commission to keep within-the scope of its employ-- ment. The government recognizes, no doubt, that, if it were now to yield to the rage of the Union of Muniei- palities, it would stir the rage of electors, who note with alarm the extent to which the Legislature has been delegating its functions, About three niillions @ year of the Provin- cial expenditure is now statutory or, in effect, withdrawn from legislative review. Another commission has, apparently, been going beyond the ecopé of its employment. That, at all events, is our cohstruction of a bill introduced by Mr Lucas, taking effect as of the 14th of May, 1906, that is, ten years ago, and author- izing the Commission of the Univer- eity of Toronto to borrow $250.000.
