We raise :our taxes in just about the same way Ithat Rob Roy used to collect funds. .We raise taxes on the basis of what individuals do for themselves, not for[ ‘ 1 J ,. )5. society. For instance, fancy a man gag «a, ’5 r ' lgoing into a store to buy a spool of Q-XR‘QSXED lthread for his wife. Being a man he lasts how much. “Well," says the 'young lady, “it depends upon how lmuch you are worth. If you are rich. it will cost you $10, but if you are poor it will cost you three cents." Such a system cf charging would not be more absurd than is the present system of raising revenue." A tax on land values, argued Mr. Brownâ€"Sir James Whitney notwith- standingâ€"would ' make land cheaper and more accessible. It would act din-- metrically opposite to the presentl imethod of taxing labor values,‘ which had the effect of making land scarcer and dearer. “Land is fixed in quantity," he said, “and we have made it scarce: by giving men a pre- mium to hold it out of use. A tax on I .land values would force the speculaâ€" tor to use land now held for specula- tive purposes, and the whole commu- nity, which created the value, would benefit, as, of course, it should do. The dearer and scarcer land is, owâ€" ing to the present system under which the speculator is allowed to operate, the more difficult it is for labor and capital to produce success- fully. “Why should we tax buildings, nny~, we Want them?

Patients are surely to} be defended from such a state of ai- fairs as that. The training to be un- dergone before I legally debarred from encroaching on any branch of the medical profession for which be has not qualified. To carry out this principle would involve rccasting the whole medical curricu- lum. Difficulties in detail would, of a man is allowed tol act as a surgeon should be of the believe the suggestion I have mad-3 should be such as to qualify him to is the right solution. Under the exist- ing system a young medical man is legally qualified to perform any op- eration he chooses to undertake. No- body claims that he is really compe- tent to do anything of the kind, and the fact that surgical tragedies are not more frequent is due to the hon- or and good sense of the vast major- ity of the medical profession. From the standpoint of the public, all‘moc- tors are in “hotch potch”, and it is a toss-up whether the sick man or I check the report of the physician as to the nature of the case. In another extremely important, particular medical education is found! wanting. Enough has been added to: the sum of medical knowledge about tuberculosis to warrant the oft-re- peated assurance that mostlcases, if] taken early, can be cured. One of the; saddest letters we ever published ap- l peared in a recent issue of The Mail; and Empire. The writer of it spore of : his own case as a hopeless one, hav-l ing become so notwithstanding thaté from its very earliest stages it had; been under apllcal attention. Not un-§ til long time had been lost was it 1 diagnosed and treated er a case of‘ tuberculosis. It seems to be a fact; that comparatively few physiciansé know an early case of tuberculosisi when they see it. There are various’ other matters for a commission on medical education to enquire into. . W woman happens to select a man comâ€" petent to undctake his or her parâ€" ticular case. If medical .men were classified the public would know just what it was getting and the risk of falling into the hands of an incom- petent man for the performance of a serious operation would he impossi- his.

The office was as; signed to Rev.

Lamb, who repre- ented that Church. “We don’t wish to infer that we do not want Beth- .ny. but it is unfavorablewhile Mount Pleasant is with us.” Rev. Mr. Pogue thought that fount Pleasantcould be closed, and ntimated that the proximity of the Omemee Church would enable the.con- regation of Mount Pleasanbto at- tend the Church in Omemee. Rev. George A. Brown, of Camp-, bellford, was also of the opinion that} something should be done with Mount medical education should be greatly changed. As medical science has now become of such magnitude as in its wholeness to be beyond the compass of the individual practitioner, Dr. Cockburn thinks the time has come for dividing the profession into class- es, whose members would be specially trained for their several departm hits and debarred from practising in any other. It would then be impossible for a young tactical man who has little special preparatimi for the work to exercise the Met of life and death over his patimt by performing a critical surgical operation upon him. There in grave . need for more protection of patients from the risks of the knife. Something must be done to take out of irresponsible hands the jurisdiction now placed there to condemn a man to the operating table and put him at the mercy of 9. Pleasant. He visited there on We oc- casions and had received very little response. He contended that if any sacrifice was to be made it should at be done in Omemee. It was finally (leased to lay the matter on the tab‘e until the March meeting of the Presbytery. w}â€"-â€"â€" TRAPPED A minister was greatly disturbed by a. certain set of women in his congregatioa, who persistently gos- siped in a loud tun-e during service.
