\\'h:-n the Canadian Parliament goes into its Annual session jauuary :5 there will be aruong 1114; mcltlbcrg of the Lonunons only three men who attended the war-tune session of I915.

Canada, as now, was solidly united.

llut in .\llﬂllsl, r5114. thcre was no cleavage. toth Sir l\'I1l)\'l'1 lordcu, \\l1o had been swept illtn powcr at thc reciprocity election of IQII, and Sir \\'i‘.frirl Lanricr, who had gone under ln that vote, put Canada firmly on the side of (jrcat ISritain in what the Liberal leader called a “holy war."

No elcctiort was hclil until 101,", when, on the i-sue of coirscrrptiun, the Unionist government, under Sir ltobr-"t Borden, won an overwhelm- ing victory at the polls.

.\part from the Commmrs, there are others who sat through thcsc nroiucntotrs sessions of 191441118 who \\ill br- 011 hand when Parliament open; this mouth. In the Upper Chamber there are Senators Pope, Liordou, Smith, Don- nclly and ll. ll. \\'rlso11, all in the senate during the (ireat War. .-\nd there are others who have

since gone to the hcuatc from the Commons, like Right Ilon. Arthur Ilcghen, Hon. E. N. Rhodes and lion, l‘_ E. Blondin.

THE POLL TAX

sin-In early days when taxes were swltched of! from tenants. and piled on the property, It was felt. that the young man and non-tax paying tenants should make some contribution to the revenue.

For tltls a $1. poll tax was l - ties-ed. Later this was Increased to $2. In 1902 this $2. tax was e 1- lectcd almost to a. man. In f t. the total of all uncollected ta s tn that. year amounted to o 1y $66.10.

In I925. the poll tax had be n increased to $3 (before the d -» pressloni. $7.134 of poll taxes w collected. yet, due to the Increase - bout $600. was unpaid, about. 300 f n, population about 2,500.

In 1932. the tax lacked up $5. brought about the slump l payments whlch has prevalled eve since. With the $5. tax total pay merits fell down to $4.381 as com pared with over $7.000. under th

$3. rate. -

The last two years the flgur have been hidden from us. but, I Ls estimated that. about 500 to B00 are paying whlie It ls admitted that. about 2.000 pay nothing.
