(Special to The Guardian)

OTTAWA, May 24—It is roughly
estimated that the hew taxation
proposals of Hon. 'W. S, Fielding
will yield $40,000,000. The sales
tax which brought in about sixty
millions last year is increased by
fifty per cent. and should net from
ningty ito /one ‘hundred millions
this year. ‘The tax.on bank checks
and\ note creulation of banks) should
yield eight or ten millions, and
will bring several millions nto tire
country’s coffers. The cigar and
cigarette tax will produce five
mililon dolars ang Mr. Fielding
estimates a total revenue of 333
millions on. the basis of last year’s
taxation. The estimated expendi-
ture is nearly 600 million, The
difference will have to be borrow-
ed and the Progressives do not
conceal their disappointment with
the new budget, They had become
convinced that the government had
no intention of yielding to their
demands about the Wheat Board
ang the Crow’s. Nese Pas3 agree:
ment, but for this reaso. they felt
a'l the more certala that their
Gocaw'll would be courted by gub-
startial tariff concessions, which
they «ould carry neine to the West
as evidence of their puissant in-
fluence at Ottawa, Now, however,
they forsee themselves treeking
homeward ‘with very little to show
their expectant constituents and
are therefore in. rather a 'peevish
and critical mood, A Canadian

The rejection of the Marks Act
has caused great deal of adverse
criticism in business circles, It
‘was ‘passed last year in the inter
ests of revenue as well as business
as a safeguard against flooding the
market with German goods as
these could enter and evade the
tariff owing to the great depreci-
ation of the Germall mark. The
Mark Act provided a mark should be
valued at not less than 50 per
cent of its face value. Now it does
not matter how low Its value falls,
the tariff will fall witp it.

ple, roused to fury by Armua'sied him, But they knew they must

part.
| ‘Adonijah, brother to Solomon,
w now his chance to seize the
throne. Profiting by the jealous
ambition of the Princess Vashtl,

who, ‘saw that she had lost Sol-
omon’s Jove, he plotted with her
against the king; ‘but he found

!Sheba always a stumbling block to
his plans.

Tha time dame when Sheba
|must depart ‘and ithe heart. of
King Solomon was heavy as ‘he
bade her farewell. Sheba visited
many lands and her beauty re-
ceived the homage of many kings,
but°she heeded none Of them, re.
|membering Solomon. When, after
much, wandering, she reached her
own land, she’ brought as a gift
to her people, a yaby prince, whom
the \people hailed as their king to
be.”

‘Sheba, more glorious than ever
now with the beauty of mother-
hood .and a wiser ruler now with
the faith that Solomon had given
her, made her people happy. Her
love endured, and ‘when the little
prince was five years old she sent
him as an envoy to Solomon—who
received him with great joy.

The traitor Adonijah saw in the
boy:a new peril to his plans. He
called Vashti to his aid, and
Vashti sought help ‘from Egypt,

i

the land of her fathers. Solomon,
warned of the plot, banished
Adonijah from the realm, but
Adonijah raised an army and

stormed the ‘palace and the temple
while Vashti, by a trick, seized
the little prince and * had him
locked in the vast Tomb of the
Kings,

Assault! after assault by Aadoni-
jah brought him nearer to victory.
Many. times his men entered the
gates of the palace, only to be driv

the court took refuge in the great
spiral ‘Tower of David that stood
in the middle of the city.
‘Adonijah and Vashti had reck-

learned of the loss of her. son she
despatched a great army across
the desert to Sotomon’s aid, her-
self leading. She and her mighty
host arrived at the crucial mo-
ment; Adonijah’s army had enter-
ed the gates and was storming
the Tower of David. Sheba’s army
fell upon the attatkers with great
slaughter. Adonijah himself was
killed ‘and ‘Solomon wounded.

It was one of Adonija.s fallen
soldiers who revealed to Sheba the
hiding place of the prince. She
brought him out of the Tomb of
the Kings, and ‘Solomon wept for
joy when he ‘saw her.

By Mayor Jenkins
To Abegweits

wee PCL

At a public meeting in th
Board of Trade rooms last night
the members of the Abegweit Hoc
key Team were presented. by Hit
Worship Mayor Jenkins, on behali
of the citizens of Charlottetown
with handsome gold watches.

His Worship presided and spoke
briefly in opening the meeting.
“We were proud of our boys last
winter,” he said, “and we are just
as proud of them today.” By their
good sportsmanship. the Abegweit
team has very materially assisted
in boosting the Island.

Mr. Samuel Doyle, President ot
the Club, on behalf of the execu
tive thanked the members of the
team for the splendid work during
the winter, which resulted in such
a hockey series of victories. it
has been the most wonderful year
in the history of local hockey. The
victories have been: won by hard
training and clean living. He-was
sorry that the two trophies won
were not yet here for presentation,
along with the watches.

Dr. Yeo added his tribute of
congratulations to the boys. Per-
haps the Island has never receiv
ed any better advertisement than
that of the wonderful series of
seventeen unbroken victories won
by the Abegweits last winter. He

‘He felt confident that this could
be done. ‘We have the finest

body of citizens in support of ath-
letics that can be found anywhere,”
he said. “On many occasions when
the club needed money all we had
to do was.to.go to thg citizens and

“The
A Credit

Better hospital service through
closer co-operation ‘was emipha-
sized by Dr. McBHachern of the
Vancouver General Hospital at a
public meeting in the Board of
Trade Rooms last night. On ac-
count of several other attractions
the attendance was not large, but
the address of the speaker wagere-
cdived wiih very great ‘interest
by nis audience, which included a
number of ladiés.

iDr. 8. R. Jenkins presided and
introduced Dr, McEHachern who
explained that for the present
year he had undertaken the dir-
ection of the Victorian Order of
Nurses, Since the war a number
of health agencies have been
working throughout ‘Canada and
have exhibited a marked lack ol
co-operation, sometimes working in
opposition to each other and very
often failing in their purpose, The
Victorian Order asked that the
speaker make a survey to deter-
mine what public health work ts
being carried on in Canada, what
fields are not being covered, and
‘to stimulate endeavors towards
(better co-operation and co-ordina-

jments, municipal ‘bodies and volun.

‘not mean having every hospital ex

Eachern, but it means a standard

of 671 hospitals im Canada and

676 met the requirements. The

the hospital inspections and of ox.

by the Surgeons’ Colllege from
which thé movement started.
‘Dr. (McHachern was impressed
‘with the cordial and sympathetic
spirit which the people of this pro.

for ‘better hospital service. He
had ‘spoken in Summerside during

ternoon and everywhere a willing-
ness to cooperate was evident.
The three hospitals of the Island
will be placed on the “standard”
list without the slighest difficulty.
They comply in every way with
requirements. He inspected each
of the three hospitals carefully and
found that they are giving excel-

Inspection to the Hospitals Here.

tion but that the government of
this province and 4he city coun-
cils should do more for the Is-
land hospitals. He had heard also
with very great regret that one
of the finest tubercular sanatori
ums in the country was allowed
to be closed up in this province.
In his own province of British
Columbia the government and city
authorities have taken a keen in-
terest in the care of the sick, the
government alone paying from 45
cents to $1.00 per day per
patient. Dess'te lack of ,sulficient

ed in @ manner highly creditable
to the province,

wished to emphasize that th:

rooms yesterday. The reports o°
the Committees and of the Secré

The fault of lagging behind the
other provinces in urgently needes
social legislation does not rest with
the Government alone. The opi-
nion was expressed, that the peoplo
are responsible in this and are
falling below thé standards set by
our fathers when the Island wi:

This view Was brought out at the
meeting and gave promise of suc-

The question of finances was
brought up and it was decided that
it was practically impossible to
raise the budget plannéd at. the
last annual meeting. The Secre
tary, who had already. volunteered
to work without salary for the
first four months of -the year and
whose salary originally formed
about half of the budget, offered to
continue her work, without remu-
neration.: This offer, after some
discussion, was accepted.
