"| convince LETTERS To The Editor Contra Sunday. Kingston, March 20.--(To the | Editor): With your permission I will just say a few words id answer to commenced when his commanded by Christ at the resur- | rection, how could it commence? | Only by tradition garty still maintains very far towards sanctifying Sunday, not kept by the early Christians as late as 300 years alter the resurrec- tion, He asks me why I refer to the Encyclopaedia Britannica and other writers, because history is the voice of prophecy and gives the origin of Sunday. Mr. Haggarty says he does ing on the fence, I sald if Protest- ants take the Bible and follow its directions, it will lead them to keep keep Sunday, why not join the Cath- olic church? Either be oné or the other, in fact ged off the fence. I made no personal remark whatever, and if Mr. Haggarty took it that way he will have to bear it for he is the one that makes the applica- tion, not 5 as the saying is, it the shoe fits put {it on. The Lord says, if any man willeth to do His will he shall know of the doctrine. And my position stands unshaken because it 1s built upon the word of God which liveth and abideth forever, and my position is proven more strong by the hearty support I have received from a number of others Now Mr. Editor I did not start this controversy nor enter it for ar- gument sake; but to defend the wqrd of God and those who are willing to make a sacrifice in order that they may keep the commandments of God and the faith.of Jesus. Rev, 14:12, We have 'a sincere respect for those who are honestly seeking to know the truth, although they may differ with us but the capious objec- tors constitute a class by themselves And we cannot hope to such persons, but hope these truths, which you have so kindly published in your paper, may have some weight with these who desire to know the truth as it is in Jesus. Sincerely yours, --W. B. LINDSAY. Forms of Taxation, New York City, March 18.-- (To the Editor): The general discussion of taxation that has been going on in the press, editorially and otherwise, indicates such a lack of real know- ledge on the subject that I submit a few suggestions along this dine that may furnish food for serious thought. The best tax by which public rev- enues can be raised is evidently that which will closest conform to the following conditions: . 1. That it bear as lightly as pos- sible upon production--so as least to check the increase ofygthe general fund from which taxes fust be paid and the community maintained. 2. That it be easily and cheaply collected, and fall as directly as may be upon the ultimate payers--so as to take from the people as little as possible in addition to what it yields the government, 3. That it be certain--so as to give the least opportunity for tyranny or corruption on the part of officials, and the least temptation to lawbreaking and evasion on the part of the taxpayers. 4. That it bear equally--so as to give no citizens an advantage or put any at a disadvantage as compared with others. * The taxation of land values fully measures up to each and all of these requirements, 1. Taxes on production, com- merce, capital and improvements curtail industry. Taxes on land values have just the apposite effect: They encourage industry by relieving it of taxes and also prevent land speculgtion which is am economic crime of the first magnitude. 2. "No value is so easily ascytain_ ed as the value of land. 1It is the stock in trade of all real estate men> And for cheapness it would cost no 'more than it does now to collect rent. The saving would be bi CORNS Off-No Pain! 5 Doefn't hurt one bit!

Land les out of doors. It can- not be hidden or carried away. The tax cannot possibly be evaded, and publicity would prevent tyranny and corruption on the part of officials. 4. It would bear equitably upon all classes of gociety. A 'tax is pay- ment for social services and the Mr. Haggarty's concluding letter.

We win because our resources are better than the other fellow's; because the impetus of our attack disorganizes our enemy; because-- 2nd this is not so trite as it may {| seem--right 18 on our side, and | righteous,our cause, and so on, ad | infinitum. We lose--and here the | reasons we lose may be also endless, but nevertheless, they are real rea- {sons. Now conceding all this, no | matter why we fought, or whether we won or lost, if we are in the | least charitable, we shall respect our | own efforts and those of the other fellow. In fact if we beat up the other fellow well, his condition is likely to create in us a sympathy But there is such a thing as getting well beaten up ourselves, and in such an event, the sympathy and a help- ing hand of our enemy is not to be despised. That's all so easy to say, that there does not seem anything to it. Well there isn't, if that's how youn feel about it. It is a condition to be unnoticed. I mean a condition does exist, in which good, healthy, a result of a fight, and the cruel part themselves, but for us, and if they have our sympathy, it's about all they have. Mental and physical wrecks abound throughout Canada, who are shamelessly denied the care . and comfort they were promised before they @ndertook our task of disposing of our enemy. Hundreds of cases could be cited of men, once substan- tial 'citizens, who are now shame- fully trying to make both ends meet on a miserable pittance in the form of a pension, some who most em- phatically need medical attention, but who cannot afford it, nor can they receive it from the military authorities, because the time has passed in which they should have made application for such attention, What rubbish! There are thousands of dear souls, who entered into our Aght, to whom time means nothing-- they fought for us to all eternity-- and homest folk cannot conceive of any condition where time should count, as regards those who fought for us--and lived. Well indeed, if many of them had been called by a Divine Creator during their noble efforts in our behalf. They wouldn't have had to suffer the indignities which have been heaped on them in their infirmity. These men have just got to be re- cognized, and for that purpose, a body of determined citizens . are banding together, in the form of a club, and questions which are na- turally difficult for the individual will be taken up by the club, and it is to be hoped that concerted action will do a great deal toward alleviat- ing a great deal of sorrow and grief, where it is, oftimes, least deserved, if such emotions can be considered as ever being deserved. The club signification but is to be ostensibly a "social organisation, banded to- gether primarily to assist those who cannot assist themselves. There will be no canteens or bars; no pool rooms or cuspidors or gambling, nothing but a fraternal determina- tion and desire to help, help, help. | Every citizen who is interested in the subject is invited to write for further particulars to --W.
