Name For many years there has been I growing feeling among students of public strain. that the essential diner- ence between the value of land, which is due to the presence of the commun- ity. and the value of houses and other labor products, should be recognized in our system of taxation. Land val- ue increases in direct ratio with popu- lation. A town of 5,000 inhabitants Will have land value fire times as meat as a village of 1,000, and a city l of 100,000 will have more than twenty times the land value of a town of ‘5,000. This land value is increased al- so by public improvements, such as water-works, schools. police protec- tion, Rood roads, and in fact every- thing that makes a locationamore desirable place in which to live. On the other hand, the value of houses and goods is not increased by good roads and public improvements.' Is it not just, therefore, that the only class of property which derives a pecuniary 1lt'ersefit from tax expenditure, should contribute a larger proportion to the tax fund than the other values which are not increased by the conveniences which such expenditure provides. Should not the community value be applied to community purposes? Address Name Name ..e..r. THEREFORE your Petitioners pray that your Honorable Body will amand the Assessment Act so that municipalities mayttr improvement valves at a lower late than land values; business assess- ments, incomos and salaries lobe classed with improvement values, and the differ. ence in thn rates to be determined by thtytmtfusipality. In order to give efteettothie very desirable reform in assassins for tax- ation it has been proposed that mum- cipalities be given the power to reduce the rate of taxation upon improve- ments and increase them upon land values. The cities of Ottawa and To. mum hare both petitioned the local legislature for this power. and We see no reason why it should not he grant,- ed to them, and not to them only, but every other municipality in the Pro, Vince. In another column we plintapeli- tion to the legislature asking that municipalities be given this right, end we would he grind to have our remit-ts sign the petitions and forward them to this other, where they will be collected and given to our local repre- sentative for presentation at the next sesaion of Parliament, or they may be sent direct to L.

DEATH or FINE OLD Lsuv.--A , very flne old lady has gone to her long ) home with the passing of Mrs Phoebe l Ann Hudson at the ripe age of 72 l years, 2 months and nine days. The } end came peacefully on Tuesday of I this week of paralysis after athree ) weeks' illness. She took two paralytic : strokes a year ago but, seemingly re. l covered, untilshe was taken down a. _ few weeks ago. Very few people in this sectlon were better known than the late Mrs Hudson, and kindly. good heated and hospitable she was uni- versally liked. She was greatly inter. ested in the ladies' department of tall (sits and was one of the hulwuks of the Hanover fair. Deceased wss an extraordinarily strong womsn. Her son tells us she often shouldered a bag of grain like s mm. and she coconut. ered the txisls, hardships end prim. *lons incident to ttioneerintt in In sd-l suitable manner. She wss born in Durhsm, Enghnd. being s 'iiii(e) ofJoho Hodgson. She came to Can. sds with her parents at the use of lo ‘yesrs. They settled nesr Celedonls where she resided until her met-rings to Mr Jsmes Hudson tio years um. They moved directly to Bentlnck when the family homestead has been, eves since. Me Edison died 1vssu l (if this otIlce. Mr Hall informs um that the place where the beavers are located is almost in " primitive state, " it were, which may account in part for the fact that they have never been molested. They have had a dam in this spot for the past seven years to his knowledge, and possibly much longer. On one side of the stream there are about twenty-live acres of swamp and on the other a dense hard. wood bush. The roar of the dam may i be heard for two hundred yards from , the spot. It is really an immense dam l and one marvels how it could haye been constructed by these small on- imals Nature‘s civil engineers, they may well be called. Owing to the dir. itieult nature of the ground Mr Hall! ‘could not get far enough out to secure l the beat specimens; the ones hel brought out vary from an inch and a half to two and a half inches in diam- eter and were apparently gnawed through tmversely from one side: larger trees are operated on from two sides or gnawed all around the circum- ference. Beavers do not confine themselves to any particular species of tree: the three specimens now on exhibition represent the ash. the maple and the birrh.-Owen Sound Herald.

Last Fear it took 20,0N extra hands to gather the harvest of the West, and the 1900 crop will call for as many " tut-perhaps a few thous- mands more. Heavy Immigration fig. lure, between seasons will keep the de- mand down somewhat since thous- ands of new settlers have been sent into the West this year, and these will be available, very largely. for use as harvest hands by farmers who have been longer in the country, Winnipeg, Mam, Aug. 7, 1909, Conservative crop reports show ex- cellent conditions throughout the West generally. Some damage has been done by hail. but this-as usual --ho been confined to small areas. and leaves the general crop undamag- ed. In spite of somewhat late seed- ing, the grain is well advanced, and show: every indication of ripening In good season for cutting, Home bailey has already been harvested in the Brandon and Portage districts of the middle West, and the wheat harvest will begin Within the next fortnight. From all reports received, it seems probable that this year's crop will be as good as that of 1908 in yield per acre, plus the planting of a much larg- er acreage. Between the 1900 crop and the pour serum of 1907, there is no eomparNon, Western Canadian banking shows great advancement. No fewer than twenty-three new branch banks were opened during June, and these Were added to fourteen in May and eleven in April, making ll total of forty-eight new bank otReet, opened in the West in three months.

This, however, is the case and there are now on exhibition in The Herald otrlce three beaver cuts taken this spring from a colony of a dozen or more of these industrious animals. They were obtained on the farm of W. E, Bradey on the Little Sangeen, four miles north of Markdale, Ly Mr W. C. Hail, The Ould World's Work.
