GRAND President Mallory has the f Mowing to say in the Farmer’s S: n this week: “I do not purpose to re~ r GRAND Pr‘zsidemallory, of the Patrons, addlessedfl‘the trades and labor council last fieek. He said that the Patrons g1 3:58 board had never yet delivered itself on the single tax. He had never gixen z'ne question deep consnderation‘ but he was favorably impressed with what he knew of it. In connection with the action of the Patron board in wanting to make the limit of exemp'ion S500, he said that the board would probably drop this when they found out that labor men opposed the proposition. He believed the interests of labor and agriculture; were identical in Canida. 1 “'innipeg the other night, Premier Greennway hinted rather plainly that it “ill not be long before the Mani- toba. legislature will out 011' the allow- ances for Government House, which means that the Lieutenant-Governor will have to board himself in future out of his salary from the Fedmal Government.

There has been friction on the Board of Health during the past, year, and it has resulted unpleasantly. The council have been aware of the fact, and should have moved Ion},r ago. \Ve think that a straight motion endorsing: of the town council a motion was introduced commending that officer for his faithful service to the town and making a special grant of $30 to his salary. There are many people who believe the motion was simply a. con- demnation of the actions of the. members of the health board who had brought about- this trouble. Thel THE recent troubles in the Board of Health have taken a peculiar turn. The public are pretty well acquainvd with the circumstances leading . up to the recent trial for assault, and the consequent severe fine inflicted by the, police magistrate on the medical health officer. Many citizens who were not ' present appear to think that the fine was rather heavy, but we hold, after hearing the evidence, that the verdict was perfectly just and proper, the and ‘ chief magis'rate could not do other- wise from the evidence brought out. ' It is true that the M.H.O. is a. much J better doctor than he is a witness, ex en 1 in his own defence. The facts leading I up to the trouble are well known to f our citizens, and haxe cu ated a “ide- spread sympathy for the medical lu-alth 3 officer, believing that he has been provoked beyond his powers of endurance.

With great respects it is advanced thati many hold seats in municipal bodies, who (‘uuld be hettered. A gentleman who repreSented a ward in Toronto for the two years ending last J anuary, told me in his first election by way of explanation of his candidature that it was "in the line of his ambition.” Surely this per se is but a secondary and quite unsatisfactory ex- planation. Yet I am sure many such instances can be recalled here in Lindsay. Under this head a word could be said as to the lengthy terms some representatives take. The law as to representation on 1municipal boards should not be misunder- stood. In the civ11 and now even in the criminal law we have statutes of limita- LiOllS marking ofl‘ a farthest period within which certain proceedings must be taken and rights asserted; and in default such proceedings cannot afterwards be taken nd such rights become extinct.

In this connection tee. it is very common to find people who, while religinrsly applying common sense logic to their smallest private concerns , im- mediately lapse into unreason, iwhen matters of vast public importancetare in the balance and they will not hesitate to venture the opinion that as far as taxes are concerned it matters not who holds the reins of power. This is the most common form of electorial thoughtlessness. l I neaid the same story in Toronto, when‘ Mr. Fleming came out for mayor, he made ceraeiu proposals that I immediately saw were feasible, proper and made for a large reduction of taxation.
