The adoption of a tax on gasoline in our Legislature touches a llluttcr

lllnde of the injustice of a motor car taX which compels a car owner, who drives but little on the roads to pay as much tax as a-uoiher own-i er whose car mllage is far greater, perhaps ten limes as great. it was strongly argued that it would be

the tax should be levied in propor- tion to the amount of petrol (or gasoline) c-onau-med and the Minis- ter oi Transport promised a depart- mental inquiry in regard thereto immediately before deciding upon a definite policy for the coming seal- son.

Quebec and some othor Provinces have adopted the gasoline tax. Tilirty-llve of the United States be sides us collect at ‘least a part of the automobile tux in proportion to the measure of gasoline consumed as the fairest way of making these who use the road pay for their up» keep. The consumption oi‘ gasoline affords a close index to the number of‘ miles travelled and the amount of injury to the road surface. Heavy motor trucks and other cars driven at excessive speed are the vehicles which do the greatest injury to the highways.

FEDERAL POLITICS

‘rho,- political situation in Canada today is calculated to lead to very

lerlonlff-thiuking. Th6 old Liberal‘ party has been splitln two. What|

the relative strength of the ros- pectivel sections is has not yet been disclosed but no doubt it shslbbe before the Budget debate is ended. There ‘has been a defin- ite abandonment of the Fielding Liberalism which until very re- éently was the boast and the glory of the old party. Fleming's policy and even his promise oi last year that there should be no more tariff reduction, no more tariff tinkering, has been abandoned and the ‘dom- inant Liberals are now openly heading for free trade, for the re- moval of the last vestige of protec- tion. "RI

Had this change been brought about in the course of smooth and unobstructed political sailing by a party strong enough to carry it. some arguments might be advan- ced in its favor, for there are two sides to most of our political ques- tions. It did not come in this way, however; It came as an alterna- tlfc to political death, it came in to the "Stand sud Deliv-

Over 2,000 men besides hundreds of carriers are now employed in the post. office service in the four cities here named.

The Federal Liberal Progressive Party have thrown Messns Fielding and Goui-n, as advocates of tariff stability. into the discard, Our local Liberals by their amendment mov- ed in the Legislature at the late session stood by the Fielding pol- icy which wse antagonistic to what for brevity we may call the Lib.- Prog. policy. Now if a general elec- tion should materialist: this year, our local Liberals will have need to make a quick decision as to wheth- er they will support the Fielding policy of tariff stability or the Robb policy of instability. loss and dis- tulilance to industry and trade. lt ls a sharp curve. but to a party as unstable as water that will not greatly matter.
