ASSESSMENT LAW CHANGES Government Introduces the Measureâ€"Raises Income Exemptionâ€"Farm Lands Section Repealed to carry out the recommendations of the special assessment committee, which met last fall. These amendâ€" ments are three in number : (1) The raising of the exemption on perâ€" sonal earnings in cities from $1,200 to $1,500; (2) and from #900 to $1,.200 in towns and villages. This applies to householders or the heads of families. (3) The repeal of the section providing for the special asâ€" gessment of farm lands in towns and villages. â€" This will prevent large vacant areas being held at a Jow assessment waiting for a rise in price while the adjoining properâ€" ty pays its full share of the assessâ€" ment. ‘A despatch from Toronto says : Hon.

Canada‘s Militant Suffragette. Toronto has one real militant guffraâ€" gette in the person of Miss Olivia Smith. | She is an English woman, who, until quite recently. was foremost in all the agitaâ€" tion there. She has spent three terms in jail, once for smashing windows, once for taking hold of the reing of a policeman‘s horse to prevent him riding down women, and thus interfering with an officer of the law on duty, and the third time for chainâ€" ing hereelf to the railing in front of Preâ€" mer Aequith‘s office. Miss Smith is a mildâ€"mannered lady of about 45 or 50 years of age. She ie grovâ€" haired and not at all Amazonian in type. Bv profession she is a trained nurse. Since living in Toronto she has been agsisting in one of the local tea rooms. Canadian Men Less Brutal. She has been active in the local suflra.fe organizations. As one reason why miliâ€" tant methods have not been introduced inâ€" to Canada she gives a very curious illueâ€" tration. She says that Canadian men aro much lese brutal to their wives and sleâ€" ters and daughters than are English men. This is a somewhat radical cstatement, which is sure to create controversy, at least wherever it is put up to an English man The Legislature is pursuing the even tenor of its way to the end of a seesion which has not been particularly eventâ€" ful. While there have been plenty of deâ€" bates on various subjects closely affecting the lives of the people, there have been few occasions when tgxe parties have realâ€" ly come to grips in any spectacular manâ€" ner which would command the atiention of the country.

Once again Allan Studholme, the labor member, or third party, as he likes to call himself. has taken more than his share of the time of the Wouse. He presents a unique figure. . Talking with him comes easy. He has had a long training in the labor movement and has apparently acâ€" auired the habit of thinking aloud, which enable«e him to deliver a speech of geveral hours with a minimum of preparation. When Studhoime Speaks. To drop into the House on an afternoon when Mr. Studholme is on the floor reveals an unusual and interesting cight. Perâ€" haps oneâ€"third of the members will be in their seais. Those who are will be readâ€" ing newepapers and writing letters for the moet part. Here and there a member will be doing nothing but listening to the speaker, but not doing that very attenâ€" tively. This apparent inattention does not bother Mr. Studholme in the least. He moves the chairs in the immediate vicinâ€" itv of his desk out of the way and then proceeds to walk up and down the epace provided, talking as he moves. Bome of the members of the Cabinet, anxions to get along with business, used to show imâ€" natience at Mr. Studholme‘s loquacity, but now they know what to expect, and as in any case it is useless to try to head him off they have to let him have his eay with as good grace as possible. Mr. Studholime‘s specialtice _ are, of course, labor subjects, and on many of these he has views to which, in theory, little exception can be taken. * $5,000 To Buy Five Feet Square. Another high figure hae been recorded for downâ€"town re.'fi estate. The Canadian Bank of Commerce has purchased the proâ€" perty on which the McConkey restaurant, long a land mark on King St., is situâ€" ated. The price paid was $11,000 a foot frontage. While this is the second hifi‘h- ec+t nplce »ver paid for nronerty in Toâ€" ronto, as far as frontage is concerned, there has really been several tranefers Wasi¢ uns price pCF square 100t was Iignâ€" er.

Other high prices which have been reâ€" corded inelude the northâ€"weet corner of King and Youge, which was receutly eold to the Dominion Bond Co. at a rate of $148.15 per sauare foot. The northâ€"east cormer of King and Yonge, which was reâ€" cently sold to interests suproned to be affliated with the Royal Bank, brought a figure of $125.70 per square foot. On a sqauare foot basis the recent purchare by the Bank <of Commerce figures out at #60.20 PRZE! The removal of euch landmarke as Mcâ€" Conkey‘s restaurant and Michie‘s grocery store from King etreet marks the denth knell of this section of that thoroughfare as a retail district, in which capacity it formerly excelled.

The bill to amend was introduced by Hon. W. J. Hanna, Provincial Secretary, inâ€" to the Legislature on Wednesday evening. It contains four clauses. Clause 1 seeks to define what is meant by "tavern license," which it is declared shall mean a ‘"icense for selling liquor for consumption only on the licensed premises in which the liquor is sold. s Clause 2 amends the section of the act respecting shop licenses. . Mr. Hanna pointed out that in Toronto Attractive Form of Investment. A folder which fully describes an attractive 7 per cent. investment, carrying a profitâ€"sharing feature as well, may be obtained by writing to The National â€" Becurities Corporaâ€" tion, Limited, Confederation â€" Life Building, Toronto, Ont. The investment described is in the form of profitâ€"sharing bonds, which are amply secured. In this inâ€" stance, the National Securities Corporation, Ltd.. acts as a holdâ€" ing company for two manufacturing companies whose combined capitalâ€" ization is $1,300,000. Both of these companies have been particularly successful ever since their formaâ€" tion, and for the last few years have operated under the handicap of only being able to take care of about 60 per cent. of the business available, although working at full capacity. The present bond issue is for the purpose of enlarging these plants so that they may handle all orders, and to enable them t> acquire timber limits now under option, and which will doubtless largely increase in value in the next few years. Every Part of J+ Was Fulfillied in Course of 300 Years. Curses do sometimes come home to roost. One of the best known is ‘"‘the Curse of Mar.‘"" The Earl of Mar was cursed prior to 1571, when he was elevated to the position of Regent of Scotland. ‘‘Thy lands shall be given to the stranger and thy titles shall lie among the dead. The branch that springs from thee shall see his dwelling burnt in which a King was nursedâ€"his wife a sacrifice to that same flame, his children numerous, but of _ little honor, and three born and grown who shall never see the light. Horses shall be stabled in thy hall and a weaver shall throw his shutâ€" tle in the chamber of state,. Thine ancient tower shall be a ruin and a beacon until an ash sapling sha‘\l spring from its topmost stone. Then shall thine honors be restored ; the kiss of peace shall be given to the countess though she seek it not, and the days of peace shall return to thy line." & in a In the course of 300 years every part of the curse was fulfilled.
