Two games of hockey were played on the rink here last week. The first game on Wednesday was played be- tween Bethany and Nestleton. and was the fastest game of hockey ever seen here. The play was inclined to be a little rough owing to the ina~ bility of the referee to handle the teams. Considerable tripping was done on both sides, but in spite of all some excellent playing was done. In the first half the teams seemed to be fairly well matched, and at half timg the score stood 3â€"4 in favor of Nestletcn. In the second half Bethany scored 2 before Nestleton got going, However, the score was soon evened up again, and then it was turn about until the score stood 6â€"7 in favor of Bethany. Within three minutes of full time Nestleton scorqd again and when time was called the score was a tie. Five minutes extra time" was played when Nestleton scored twice, and won, 9â€"7. The teams lined up as follows: The second game on Saturday was between Nestleton and Valentia and resulted in a Victory for Nestleton by 13â€"5. The Valentin team are small boys, but nevertheless they put up a splendid game. The Presbyterian church here will be opened on Sunday and MondaY.

The carnival held here on Thursday night last was a fine success. The weather was ideal, and a very large crowd, both of spectators and skaters thrned out to enjoy the evening. As this is the first time anything 0! this 'kind was attemptzfl here some little doubt was expressed as tr. tits suc- cess. but after it was over everybody declared that it was one of the best they had ever witnessed. The Lind‘ say band was on hand and furnished very excellent music, which added much to the success of the evening. The costumes were very numerous and costly, and the young people de~ serve much credit for the way they endeavored to maVe the carnival a success.

With the addition of the produce of the water system, £1,075 and the gas. £850 sufâ€" ficient revenue Was obtained to make the local rates and taxes almost negligible. In Gorlitz. a city of 50000 a most favorable place for the exper- iment, on account of the high taxes prevailing, all the predictions of those who instituted the reform were fulfilled. Before this obvious piece of justice was eflected in Germany many owners were paying for aflftleth of their proper assessment. Since the market value system was instituted, working class dwellings have been re- lieved of from thirty to forty per cent of their former burdens. Specula- tion in land has been discouraged and the supply of land has necessarily become more healthy and useful to builders, tenants and the community at large. The single tax idea has become the common coin of economic thinkers, and orthodox professors of political economy no longcr win-g their shafts of ridicule or denunciation at the principle. The ethical statement of the reform meets with no objection from any quarter. It cannot be den- ied thatjustice demands equal access to natural opportunity for all human beings who must live upOn this earth This truth once granted it follows, naturally, that land must be separat- ed from wealth although law and cus- tom have mixed the two, confusing private property with natural OPPOF tunity. The distinction is clear and simple. What the individual makes is his. What nature supplies is the birthright of all. The single tax has the distinction of pointing out how, without disturbing existing titles, or weakening possessions, or lessening security justice may be done impar- tially. Access to land being a com- mon right, private monopoly is a universal wrong unless the user pay the community for the privilege. 0b- jections have been urged against it, and doubts\expressed concerning: its beneficent working. But if the prin- ciples of a reform are correct? the the results may be left to take care of themselves. Every great movement in behalf of human welfare, like the Igary. Denmark, Canada, the United States, communities are applying it. In a week or two Joseph Fels, the tPhiladelphian millionaire, in a public Emeeting, in Boston hopes to be able to induce that city to undertake the reform. He is spending his immense fortune in urging its adoption in dif- ferent countries. Indeed, Mr. Fels is largely responsible for its introduc- tion into Vancouver and the other Canadian cities which have adapted it. Scotland is securing legislation in a bill providing for the separation of land values from improvements and is securing permission for the right to tax land values alone, at a rate not exceeding two shillings in the pound. In Germany a large number of municipalities and districts are sup- ported in great Dart or altogether by revenues derived t'ron‘~ land or utilities publicly owned. Fifteen Ger- man provinces are saidtxo pay all local rates and taxes from public lands alone. (St. John Telegraph.) One of the advantages hoped for by the adVOcates of single tax is that it would make it impossible for mon- opolists and speculators to hold opportunities unused or only half used and would throw opentolabor the great field of employment the earth offers to man, The agitation for this tax is everywhere steadily gain- ing ground.

Under the old system, he says, Edmonton suffered all the customary evils of arrested and unequal development such as are found wherever apremium is placed on buildings and speculators are enâ€" couraged to hold on to their unim- proved lands until the highest posâ€" sible land values have been reached through the improvement to the ad-i joining property. All this is now changed in Edmonton, for the owner of unimproved land must pay a tax {equal to his neighbor. who may have [on his lot a building worth a large sum of money. Under this new. order development is proceeding space. ‘ Under single tax and municipal gownership, he points out, Edmonton has advanced in eight years from a population of 2,500 to 35,000 and when the suburb of Strathcona is added the population will be in the neighborhood, of 50,000. The city has now the most up-to-date telephone System in the world, a street railway system second to none, and magnifi- cent waterworks and electric lighting system, all municipally owned. There are, of course, individuals and corpor- ations that will neither improve their property nor sell, and it is upon these the system fails most heavily; and sooner or later they will be com- pelled, either to sell their property or build in order to prevent its being swallowed up by taxation. The Hud- son Bay Company is the greatest of- fender in this particular, holding a large block of land centrally located yet being neither willing to sell nor build, although assessed for water and sewerage and concrete walks. all of‘ which are now on the property.
