Municipal government in the United States has not been a brilliant suc- cess but in Canada we have yet to learn that it has lamentably failed. (Kingston Standard) The govemment~byâ€"commission illea practically admits that government by the people is a failure. Logically carried out this idea would necessar- ily involve the abolition of Parliaâ€" mentary GOVemment, as it now exists and a return to the principles of aris. trocracy or nearly that. Is it fair that the progressive farm- ier who tile-drains his land, who paints ghis buildings or erects new ones, who ibuilds good fences along the public ihig-hway, or who plants trees that I e-autify the whole country side, should gbe taxed for his progressiveness? This is the system under which Ontario ifarmers are oow assessed and taxed. ‘ Every thinking man will welcome the day when in Ontario, we will cease to tax individual industry and place the taxes on land where in jus- tice they belong. i The Premier's attitude on land tax- 3ation is hard to understand. It is ad- mitted by all who have given the ques- Ttion thought, that 'between land val- :ues and the value of improvements, there is an essential difference. The first represents the results of man’s thrift and industry. To tax land values is to tax a. man ‘51" something that he did not create, but which he is using, and which oth- ers in the community would make use of if he did not. To tax improve- ments is to tax the results of man’s industry and to discourage improve- ment. The horrible fact, however, is not as significant as might appear at first blush. The doctor has not turned Nationalist. He is simply obliged by the rules of the house to read in French once a week the prayer for Divine guidance to the deliberations of the commoners. He must also ocâ€" casionally read motions in French and he is loya'lly accepting the duties of his position. It is along time since a British ésovereign delegated his powers to a {commission during his absence, but gwhile King George and Queen Mary {are out of the United King-dam, on Lthe ocean or in India, the crown will be in commission. As the Premier remains at home, things will go on very- much as they would were King George in the Kingdom The older kings followed the custom of entrust- ing their powers to a commission, in the days when it meant something.

Aye, marry will it.

GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION SPEAKER SPROULE LEARNING FRENCH Farm zfid Dairy I FIFTEEN LONG YEARS ABOUT manor; IN COMMISSION Highest pvloes paid. Any quan- tlty accepted. Hon. Augustine Birrell has announc- ed that the British Government’s bill to provide Home Rule for Ireland will be introduced in March. The scheme involves the setting up in Ireland of a. Parliament consisting of two Chambers, with an executive â€"- that is, a Cabinet of Ministers â€" rec the Queen of England is a determined woman, and whether other women dis card hat pins or not, she will have no more of them. Queen Mary has discarded hat pins, and fastens her headgear with the old fashioned rubber band..Wliat she 9does, the ladies of her court are ibound to do, and the hat pin is bam- ished from the best society of Eng- land. This announcement is important Will it mark the beginning of the end of the dangerous daggers with which the women of the period have armed themselves, and of which the men ct toâ€"day stand in wholesome fear? There would be no question about it if the women of Paris had Commenced the fashion of fastening their. hats with elastic bands, but whether ‘ Queen Mary can set the fashion is another matter. One thing is certain, . King George and Queen‘Mary are on their ,Way to India. to be crowned Emperor and Empress of that great dependency of the British Empire. --both have been genenous, and the money they haVe bestowed so liberal- ly has helped to make the world bet- ter. It is a. question whether the Lib- eral hand of the owner of an immense fortune fully oflsets the wrong he may have done during the years of accum- ulation to those whole lives might have been made happier. This quesâ€" tion is beyond human settlement, but it is seldom out of human conscious- a great fortune comprises. He has al- ready given away $230,000,000, not all at once, but all in a comparatchly short period of years. His latest gift is $25,000,000 to the Carnegie corpor- ation of New York to, promote the ad- vancement and diffusion of knowledge and understanding among the people of the United States. The annual in- terest at 4 per cent on the arrount that he has given away would be $9,200,000, and the rapidity with which a large fortune increases is simply marvellous. A single million- aire, with money invested at four per cent, has an annual income of $40,000 and generally his investments will av- erage more than that. The wealth of Carnegie and Rockieller can only be imagined. Carnegie has spent a good deal of time with" his benefactions since his retirement from active life, but he now feels the need of assistâ€" ance, as his years increase, and he will turn over the charitable work to the new Corporation. Carnegie has done a great deal ofgood, as he has been amply able to do. We note com- parisons ibetween his benefactions and those of Rockfeller in the New York press, and they are greatly in favor of Carnegie, both in the aniount of mon- ey.given away and the object of his i charities. But comparisons are odious It is hard to realize the wealth of Andrew Carnegie without making a calculation of the possibilities which N0 HATPINS FOR QUEEN MARY Side.” Dr. Milee’ Heart Remedy cured Mrs. C.

It involves that this Irish Parliament shall have full rep- ‘resentative powers and control over purely Irish concerns. In considering what those concerns are the British Government will, Mr. Birrell says, he found taking a wide view, the object being to admit a national demand for national responsibility. "Never in the history of the world” he said, “had the experiment of self- government failed. Why should it fail In its zeal for the Tory party, the Ottawa, Journal hastened to congrat- 1 ulate the Whitney Government on its ’decision, according to the announce- ment in Toronto ConserVative news- pah-ers to take the liquor license sys- tem out of politics altogether and place it in the hands of a non-partl- zan commission. The Journal regard- Ito it as further evidence of the abili- ty of the Whitney Government to give a “square and emcien ” administra- tion to the Province. It declared : “And if local commissioners are to continue, the only way to get the matter out of the party rut is to have the “appointments of local commissioners made by a perman- ent central hoard not as amenable to party advice as any government of the day is sure to be." And now it turns out that it was all a mistake. Sir James Whitney has no intention of taking the liquor li- cense question out of politics, and he repudiates the Toronto Tory papers which announced his intention to appoint a commission on the day The Toronto Star tells the story : ‘that the new Liberal platform appear ed having that as one of its planks. “In view of this plan]: in the Libâ€" eral platfomi‘, the Mail and Empire and the News hastened the other day to claim it as a Whitney plank. The license system was about to be placed under a non-partizan com- mission by Mr. Hannai they said. ‘Is that so?’ exclaimed the Premier ‘ next day. ‘We are not going to do ; anything of the kind.’ ‘Certa-inly : not,’ said the News, as soothingly ’ as it could, in the haste of the mo- ! ment. And then it continued, not in these words, but in words to this eflect: ‘Yesterday we endorsed the idea heartily in the belief that you ' were going to do it, but we didn’t l believe in it then, and do not now. l Certamly not, Sir James. We are not opposed to it, unless you are } going to do it.’ " The license administration policy of {the Whitney government, says the lP-eterboruo Examiner, is c.-nderr.-ned even by its own political friends, and where the condemnation is not direct, as in -the case of the Journal, quoted above, it is indirect in the form of the Mail and Empire and News, hail- ing with joy a commission to fairly administer the license law. When they change front on finding that Sir James Whitney has no intention of taking license administration out of politics, they are acting the party of dutiful party journals, but that does not weaken the force of their implied condemnation of the partizan admin- istration of the license law. trained his spoils system: guns even on the Justice of the l’rare and hardâ€" ly left cn the Commi-zs'on a baker‘s dozen of the Liberals, for whose sup- port he gave byprmritnl thanks.
