The appeal of the Fuel Controller am

the Special Thrift Committee for economy

in the use of gasoline, in order that sufiic

ientaupplies may be available for war pur- poseslfis one that, we feel sure, will meet wit_h"a .willing response throughout this provi¥icé.as.throiighoiit the domi_nion._ The request is-'merely that Sunday joy-riding be cut out beginning next Sunday, Sep- tember 15th, It is but a little sacrifice that is asked, the sacrifice of a little doubtful leasure, a little illegal pleasure at that,

P _ _ _ _ for Sunday joy~riding is too often a Sab

bath pastime. In view of the sacrifices that are being made by those who are driving the Huns out of France, by those who have been doing glorious' work in the battle-

fields b those who have given husbands

also, surely the request to give up Sunday joy riding is a little thing. When we arf authoritatively told'that $150,000 wortl of gasoline can be saved in Canada by giv

_‘ing up Sunday car driving-if all_agree tt .it--and when we know the pressing neec

of gasoline to run the ambulance cars, th' motor lorries, the aeroplanes, the submar ine destio eis etc, the Waste of $150 00(

ism of all Canadians, consider it _sufiicien to simply make the request hoping _thai there will be such a general complianc with it that restrictive legislation shall n/ be necessary.

Car owners will by their compliancf

with this 'request or by their refusal plac' themselves in one or other of the tw:

classes, patriotic or unpatriotic. Of coursi-

it will not be forgotten that all cars sec

on the roads and streets on Sundays are

not joy riders, many of them doubtless ar' on quite legitimate business, but the great majority are out merely for pleasure. It i to these latter that the appeal is bein made on these latter that the blame fc- non coinpliance will fall. We expect there

Sunday car riding during the remainder o-"

“With but few exceptions,” said Mr. J

A. Jackson, Honorary Secretary of th-' Sailors Week in Ottawa, the other da; “people who live in every luxury and wit! their every want gratified, automobiles a” their disposal, expensive holiday trip; costly entertainments of their guests, havt given a mere pittance, where they coult' just as easily have given hundreds without feeling the donation. I cannot help bu' wonder what the feeling of these wealtlij people would be if their names were pub- lished in the press as giving a few paltry dollars-and in many instances less than a dollar.”

This was in Ottawa. Wonder if similar

conditions prevail elsewhere, if, say in

Prince Edwardlsland, those who live in

luxury and with every want gratified, are

in the habit of giving “a mere pittance, where they should give hundreds,” and

leaving the burdens of charity and of war

necessitiesto be borne by those who can least afford it?

Wealth is not usually acquired by sup-`

porting the charities or the institutional necessities of the country. While the “fee exceptions” noted in Ottawa are to be found in every city and ‘ln every country. it is nevertheless true that in every city and in every country the liberal givers am- ong the wealthy are sadly out of propor- tion to their number and to their ablity to contribute. There are, thank God, the ex- ceptions among the wealthy and to them largely is due the establishment and main- tinance of our charities and our patriotc undertakings. Our hospitals, our colleges, our splendid contributions to the different War funds are indebted to the wealthy for

Stances are they who made the real sacri- fices in giving. . V _

“If their names were given in the

press’\? Perhaps it would make a vast dif- _ference in the contributions, provided “the left hand” knew in advance that the gift _ ‘ -

of the “right hand” was going to be pub- lished. If, however, the names were given in the press, after the fact, "the feeling of some of these wealthy people” would prob- ably be shocked. This, inferentially, might lead~to the conclusion thatit is to the “giv- ing of the names to the press” rather than to our actual charitableness that many ol' -iur charities owe their largest contribut- ions. We adniit that the inference is hum- liating and discouraging, but the comment

gether with experiences met with else- where than in Ottawa, pretty nearly con- firms it.

A British Committee appoiited to draft

.a schedule of Luxury Duties in the United Kingdom has just completed its report. The investigation was based on the prin- :iple that the duty should apply only upon unnecessary or superfluous expenditures. Therefore, a list of articles always liable to duty, whatever their cost, was first drawn up. This in ludes all jewellry and gold Watches. Only wedding rings are exempt A tax is laid on the purchase of silks, furs feathers, fans, perfumes, riding and hunt ing garm_ents, liveries for male servants, V _

than upright) phonographs billard tables,

of similarnature.

The second schedule provides for the

taxing of expensive meals in Clubs and Hotels. For example, a breakfast whicl costs more than 620 in a club, or 75c else where, is subject to taxaton_ The exempt- ion on dinners is from $1.00 to Thr man who pays $1.50 a day for a room is exempt. If he pays more than that the ex- cess expenditure is taxed.

The third schedule fixes the prices a'

which clothing, for men and women, ant furniture may be exempted. A few exam ples are given. The most a woman can pai for garments without being taxed on tht purchase is given in the following list: Boots $8.75 Hats (trimmed) $8.75 Shoes 8.12 Suit ...36.75 Slippers ._ 2.50 Dress __ __ ,_;_2_(i.,25 Gloves`"i_Tf"f"'2f00"`"`"1I Hose"`_"."`."_'f‘ f. _ . _ 1.87 Hats Petticoat or (untrimmed) 3.75 nightrobe _ /7.50

Corsets _ _ ...__ _.625

Other schedules are on a similar scale.

The prices are not niggardly. Any one can be decently dressed on such an outlay, buf all “flummery” and extravagance will bt liable for a war impost, and not a small one. Machinery will be provided for ad- justing the schedules in caselof a general rise in prices of merchandise. Perhaps Canadians will begin to realize after a study of this system of taxation -how light- ly the burden of war has fallen upon them in comparison with the folk across the seal .___)0(___
