At one time in the history of the history of the nation, when reading matter was less prolific than now, citizers set much store by proâ€" phecies regarding this end, and one who scoffed or sneered at the sugâ€" gestion, well,â€"it was just too bad for them. But in this enlightened 20th century, amid a wealth of readâ€" ing material, the approaching end of the world is lightly regarded and worry about it even less. _ Whether the "end" has the authority of the codiac signs behind it, or the changâ€" ing shades on a cat‘s tail, it makes little difference. | THE DURHAM REVIEW Che Rurkum Rrviw y af Proprietors & SON. a be called his family together on the ; evrismw day of the "visitation" and in a revâ€" Editors and erential and prayerful attitude waitâ€" ed for the end. _ History doesn‘t reâ€" ==;’ cord how long they stayed on their 3 ;kneen, but the neighborhood lived to _?_Ef_____'see them all die natural deaths. . leading the m;emnent with Hydro playing the the government won a With Premier accustomed sea It must not be forgotten, a ’all the revenue will not go â€" i provincial treasury .

Munâ€" icipalities for thirty years have had the power to tax income within the limits of their municipalities, though comparatively few did so. Those municipalities that did levy a tax: found themselves in surrounding arâ€" eas where there was no municipal tax. If it will do nothing else except remove this discrimination and effect uniformity of taxation, the measure should be valuable, it is felt. nowever that relief costs were too high. Mr. Henry said that when he was in office, his government â€" gave serious consideration to abolishing 'the municipal income tax but had no idea of substituting a provincial tax lin its place. But it is rather well known that at one time the Couervn-‘ tive administration gave more tlun' casual thought to a provincial â€" tax to boister up falling revenues.
