Mr. iliggs. -iiiitigs to ills idols y
_
Sir,-Mr. iliggs has at leng-tb mustered up suillcient courage to
speilk on the govr-rnme.nt's tax uct.
it is by no means an easy mutter
to determine whether he approves or disapproves of the measure. What
is ouitc clcnr from his remarks is that the government can implicitly
rely on his conttnuetl support. Speak
is reported as saying "Tile govern-m to be fair. There are a few dlscrepa be relnedicd." -
'i`lle hill so far as i`lii'irlottetow
ing in the discussion on the bill lie ent has made an bonest endeavour nciea in the act which l think can
n is concerned is one of the most
es that tvcr was submitted to any
rlagrantly unjust and unfair lncasur -
Legislative body.
Yet in it Mr. iliggs only sees lin honest endeavour on thc ptirt oi
the governnlcnt. to bc fair.
'rlicro are s few trifling tllscreppuc-ies scarcely worth invntioliiiill
wltieli with much misgivlng lic thinks-can bc remedied! What Lt Wcllk.
flabby -nalliby-palnby eriticislu ni` it git-at wrong.
Mr. lliggs, be it ri-lneinbered. is
t`.harlotteto\vn's representative in
the it-gisluttirc,c1iel-.ted with .\ir. Duffy to look after und carefully guard our interests. Why should lic now turn his back on the honest and un-
suspecting inen who last summer elected him to a seat in the legis
lature and by slavlsllly supporting h
lighteous act -betrliy the trust repos
is party in the doing of a most un- ed in him?
Let me ask Mr. Higgs n few questions,
Was it nn honest endeavour to
be fair to impose a poll tnx of $3
on each citizen in order to raise hands to -pay country teachers wllenthe
citizens are already obliged to pay e
Was it an honest endeavour to
licil tl city poll tax of $3.75 and pay
their own school teachers without any lleip from the country?
be fair to raise the income tax on
citizens from 11/, per cent to 10 pcr ccnt and exempt the big incomes "
of iaruiers? -
Was it an honest endeavour to
lease on lobsters and. exempt. all the
lets?
Again what fairness or honesty
I ltlie personal property of farmers is
hp fnlr to place n tax ,of 15 cents a.
valuable personal property of farm-
can thore be in a system that ob-
.ngt-. all citizens to pay A ony tt; on all tin-if personal property while
exempt?
i it is won lmown that time is no class io the province better able
[to pay taxes now than farmers,
f Was. it an honest endeavor to be fair to tax city mei'Ci1BI1lS' 110005
lialreatly taxed by the city and exempt all the pelsonai property of tarn-
ters and fisiierlnen from the payment of any tax? l ls lt an honest endeavour to he talr that induce; the government lto keep the wbolovpt the income and auto taxes, almost wholly contri-
ihuted by the cities and towns whilti obLi9$1\8 iilei-'Il tv Dl'0Vid€ 90" UWT’
town services lit their own eXD0IlS€"i’
i lt will not do to answer that these latter taxes were taken for the
iprovince by previous governments.
i Messrs -Higgs and Duffy were not backward in condemning previous
city representatives in this regard,
‘placed in the category of a pliable |ihe wool partizan, a representative iconstittienis, he will arouse himself
iup in immovable opposition to the
ihonest tax act.
“There is ii tide in the affairs of
lows and in lniseries." `

Ontario To Have Mothers Allowance

TORONTO, May L1.-After July
1 of this your pensions for widows with two or more children will be a reality in Ontario, if lion. Walter l)roilo'il Mothers Allowances llili.
introduced into the Legisiatum
yesterday, passes the House at its present sitting. As with the mimi- mum wage board two of the mom- bt-rn oi' the commission will be women and the five persons who will constitute the commission will serve without remuneration, ln the .‘ not as introduced, there are no tig- ures showing the extent of pensions to be given. This is apparently left to the board which will decide the amount of assistance to be given. Besides widows, the act. extends its benefits to the family of a man who is aa inmate of an insane asy- lum or of a man who is permanently disabled and incapable of contract- ing to the support of his family. There-are stipulations as to resi- dence in Canada and Ontario and the act as at present introduced limits its ,cope to mothers whim two or more of her own children under fourteen years of an and has not adequate means to care properly for them without the st- slstsnce of allowance under this
~ act.
