The farmers et the, country were watching them, and" they were bound that there should be no discrimination in favor of the big corporations. "If the member for Glengarry," said Mr. Wilson; 'doesn't support Mr. Pettypiece's bill, he needn't expect re-election." I'he farmers simply wanted to tax the railways on the e basis as they themselves were taxed. Mr. Swale, of North Bruce, pre- sented more luminous facts and: % (30 or 40 members was evidence of | the strong feeling on the question I roughout the country. Mr. Smith | thought that the arguments of rail way counsel as to ipability to pay | the proposed tax was based upon fallacious capitalization. \Vhile it cost $30,000 per mile to build a rail- ation. The internation lines were paying in Michigan much higher taxes than in Ontario, yet the freight rates in Michigan were one- third less on passenger traffic and one-fourth less on freight rates than in Ontario. Mr. Smith wanted Qatario's proportion of taxatiou raised considerably. Mr. Annis, of Scarboro, drew at- tention to some of the fallacies in |the arguments advanced by the exponents of the railway side of the case. Mr. Hellmuth had claimed that the railways were paying about $20 per mile taxes to the rural mun icipalities. Careful analysis, said Mr. Annis, showed that "the aver- age tax imposed upon railways by rural municipalities averaged really only about 86 per mile." Mr. Hell muth figured his tax rate on the basis of 15 mills on the dollar in rural municipalities. Mr. Annis said it was only ten mills on the dollar at the outside, Railroads in anada were earning, mile for mile, as much as railroads in, the United States, notwithstanding the road, the companies were capitaliz-. onc hundred times what t | differences in population: But id! the States the railway taxcs wert much higher, while the freight and" passenger rates were much lower. Despite Ontario's fuir treatment ef? railroads in the matter of takation; the farmers of Outario were discrims' vated against in the matter of freight rates. Through grain from the United States paid 11} ceuts pet. cwt. freight, while Canadian 'grain paid 16} cents per cwt. Mi ! Taitroads under the provisions' Pettypiece's bill, would be ouly: $37 per mile, instead of over $300 pet mile, as the railway counsel argued: Mr of West Lambton, gave figures Bowles, seme showing how out in his In Sombra Township the Erie & Deiroitrodd was at pré- ailway taxation worked municipality. sent assessed for $2,800 all told, and paid $43.62 in taxes, which was. = bout the amount the average indi- y the / ity had bonused the road to and the Gov- lual farmer pays. Moreover, municip the extent of §14,000, ernment had given £3,200 per mile If the municipalitics were allowed to tax the bonus alone the tax would amount to 8700. As a matter of fact, th wilroad in that township paid taxes on its land at just about the same rate as the tax on ordinary farm land, despite the railway con tention to the eontrary, Mr. J.
