T552583 PRGPREE'FQB seen use i The Fenclon Falls Gazette. Friday, October 15. 1909 Good For Lloyd George. There is no end of trouble in England over the budget, which is in the highest degree objectionable to the great land owners, whose privileges as parasites it will encroach upon, and who are threatening to do all sorts of things if it be passed without amendment. But Mr. Lloyd-George, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, says that there is to be no compromise, and the following extract from a cable despatch from London to the New York Sun on the 10th shows that he means what he says : . “Mr. Lloydâ€"George at Newcastle, yes- terday afternoon, made a vigorous de- fence of the budget and a bitter attack on the House of Lords. He declared that the bill was now practially in the form in which it was going to become an act of Parliament. He said that in- stead of the measure being an attack on industry and property, it was a fact that since its introduction in the House of Commons trade and industry had imâ€" proved. The only stock that had gone down since the introduction of the bill, said the Chancellor, was that in Dukes, in which there had been a great slump. A fully equipped Duke cost as much to keep up as a couple of Dreadnoughts. So long as Dukes were content to be more idols and preserved that kind of stately silence which became their rank and intelligence. said the Chancellor, all went well. When the budget came, however, they stepped down from their perches because the measure knocked it little gilt oil their state coaches.” Taxation Reform. The Globe, of Toronto, editorially has the following wise observation relating to taxation : “ Taxation may be so levied as to en- courage and almost force industry and enterprise. It may, on the other hand, he so levied as to obstruct, retard and even destroy the source from which the revenue must be drawn. The French window tax led to the closing of many windows and a proportionate lessening of the value and usefulness of buildings. The Egyptian tax on date trees led to the cutting down of many trees. Larger amounts might have been raised by me- thods which would encourage the best and fullest use of the property from which the revenues were drawn. 1 ‘Similar inllucnccs can be discerned in the incident of business taxation ac~ cording to the value of buildings.” To obviate the tendency to discourage energy and improvcn‘ient is exactly the intent of the proposed change in the Assessment Act, granting powers to municipalities to fix a lower rate upon the business and improvement values than upon the lands. Over 200 munici- palities have already returned it l’avor- ably. Returns are coming by every mail. Fenelon Agricultural Show. The annual exhibition of the Fenclon Falls Agricultural Society was held on their grounds at Fcnelon Falls on Wed- nesday and Thursday, Oct. 6th and 7th. The finest weather was handed out by the weather man sunny glorious weath- er, on both days of the fair. Wednes~ day was a. busy day for the directors and exhibitors, who had their hands full setting everything in apple-pie order for the second day. There was a large attendance on Thursday, and the exhib- ition proved to be a decided success. The Show 01’ horses and cattle was very good, some fine animals being exhibited. Indoors the exhibit was also good in quality, though in quantity it was not what it should have been. This was particularly true of the fancy work do- partment. Nevertheless some very nice work was shown. In fruit, roots and vegetables the displiy was first class, some magnificent specimens of each be- ing on exhibition. ‘ The four mile Marathon race was won by Ted Heard, of Ferrelon Falls, who also won the Marathon on, Civic holiday. Owens, OLCambray, came second, while Arsteclg, of L_in,dsz_iy,,and Joe Carley, of' Fenclon Falls, cattle third and fourth respectively. The. race for boys under fifteen was won, by J. Junkin, while Ross, Mann took second prize. The 2.40 race, half mile, 3 in. 5,, was. won by J no. Al'dous’ Jack, best time, 13.23. Mamie Young, owned by Mr. Young of Burnt River was second. The prizes for horse racing were; 1st, set of harness value $2.5, 2nd, SW01: hobbies Dr. Johnstone. acted timekccpcr and Mr. T. Cashorc as, starter. in the speeding events. 1 The ladies’ driving was an attractive ficatu-re. There were five entries and a keen contest was the “result. The judges. Messrs. Thorndyke, 01" Oakwood, and T. Cashorc, of Fenelon Falls, were certainly in a dillicult position. At length they came to a decision, award- ing the lirst prize to Miss Nicholls, of Verulam, and second prize to Miss Kelly, also of \‘crulam. ' ' -A special prize of $2 for best penman- ship, given by Mr. W. Northey, was a- warded to Miss Vera Council, of Fenc- on Fallsâ€"Post. The prize list will be published as soon as the copy is received at this ollice - A Case For Clemency, The following, with which weâ€"and, no doubt, thousands of others quite a- gree, is from the cditoral columns of Wednesday‘s Globe : “ The Globe is much disinclined to in- terfere with the findings of Judges and juries. The verdict and sentence in the case of M rs. Robinson was unquestion- ably in accordance with the law and evidence. The Judge and jury did their duty. The power of clemency is not exhausted, however, and if over its 0f- ficcs could be fairly invoked it can surely be invoked in the case of this woman, who has been the victim of the most terribly agonizing circ misluncus ol‘ which it is possible to conceive. it re- quires no stretch of supposition to he sure that one placed in such an awful position as was this woman by the thrice guilty conduct of another was not in a proper frame of mind to judge of her acts. The women of the country who are interesting themselves in her case will undoubtedly meet a heartfelt response from public opinion in behalf of the exercise of executive clemency in as large a degree as it is possible to grant. Her punishment already is be- yond all power of estimation.” Died From Anthrax. A despatch from London, Ont., to the Toronto papers on the 12th inst. says : “James Heyden, employed at Hyman's tannery, died in an awful agony at St. Joseph’s Hospital last night from one of the most peculiar cases of blood-poison- ing that have ever come under the eye of local surgeons. On Friday last Hey- den was at his usual work of preparing hides, when one in the hands of a fellow- employee struck him in the front part of the neck. He thought nothing of it. Next morning his face and neck were greatly swollen, and he was moved to the hospital at once, and before the day was over all hope was given up. Hey- den’s neck was in a tender condition from recent shaving, and the hides are full of deadly poison. He developed anthrax and his face and body swelled to an enormous size, causing excruiat- ing pain. Heyden was 45 years of age, and leaves a wife and large family.” Nearly Finished. The Peterborough Examiner says: “Mr. Wm. Evans, Government Inspector of boats, was in the city yesterday in connection with the inspection of the new boat which Mr. Wm. l-Iickcy & Sons have been building at the East City locks. The boat, with the exception of the installation of the machinery, is a- bout completed and passed a very creditable inspection. The boat was built for Mr. W. Burgoyne, of Feuolun Falls. It will be taken up there in a couple of weeks. It will be used as a passenger boat and in size and work- manship is similar to the steamer Sovereign. It will‘be put on the waters the first thing next season.” Village Council. Fenclon Falls, Oct. 6th, lfllli). Council met at call of the reeve, and all the members were present..
