Governor-in-Council power to change the wk on Ileoilne. Ila die not Ip- prove end he would feel it his duty to vote against the measure. The

principle ie bad: it takes the taxing power away from the Legislature and

veuie it In the Executive Council.

Premier Lee said the same prin-

ciple had been adopted with regard

to the registration of motor cars. Be- gasoline prices it might be necessary to ede‘

just the tax, in "between the sessions

of the Legislature. Hon. Mr. Stewart:

to the people if en investigation in-

to the price of gasoline and what _

causes the ﬂuctuation were taken up, say by the Public Utilities Board. I have always had that impression. that this matter of the ﬂuctuation in the price of guollne should be investigated. If the underlying prin- ciples were controlled I do not think it would be necessary to change the tax ln between the sessions."

Premier Len: “That would have to be done in co-operation with the Provincial Treasurers at. the other Maritime Provinces. ! myself-have always believed that there should not be such s. spread between the price in the Maritime Provinces and in the Upper Provinces. If the other Maritime Provinces were getting it cheaper we would have n. special claim, but apparently they are sell- ing it on n uniform rate. If the Util- itics Board could make an lntrostlga- tion I think it would be a good thing."

Hon. Mr. Stewart: "I certainly would advise that. l have always had that in mind."

Premier Lea: "If we had a hearlns at which the representatives of the Province could give evident» 1i- would do a good service."

Introduces at Measure Asserting The Right of the Community To

(British United Press)

LONDON. Nfay 4--A direct chall. vnge to the private ownership of’ laud was elven the rich nobility and other lauded proprietors ‘today by Philip Snowden, Chancellor of the Exchequer. Snowdenls challege came during his presentation of a resolu- tion in the House of Commons design ed to make the capital land tax pro- posed in his 1931-32 budget effective

i

and payable at the end of the fiscal year closing March 3i, 1934,

"We have sct our hands to this task." Snowden said. "We intend to see it through. "By this measure, we are asserting the right of the com- ‘munity to ownership of land. If in- dividuals continue to possess a nom- lnal claim, they must _rent to the community for the enjoyment oi the privilege. “To restrict the use or land by the arbitrary will of its own- er and enhance its prices, raises renis prevents municipal development and the enhancement of social amenities. “Rent enters into the price of every article produced and into every pub- lic service." Snowdeu made it clear. however, that the Government did not contemplate nationalization of land. The plan is merely t9 levy a tax of one penny in the pound ster- ling, s. levy of less than half of one per cont.

Snowdrn hit directly at the wealthy "land barons" when be said: “We are asking the landowners to render un- to Caesar the things that are Caesars The taxation-on lands values is rent paid to tho community. The great land owners eonnot be permitted to enjoy privileges in the detriment of the welfare of the community. "bend was given by the Creator not for use by'Dukes. ‘but. for the equal use of all his children. Restriction of the use of land is restriction upon human liberty." The Che " announced that the p-oposed land tax would not lpply w agricultural land, "as long as it ls of no higher valuethan its cultivation value." Ho added that his interpretation also armlled to allot- ments for market gardens which are numerous around large cities.

Agricultural land will be taxed only on its value above lie value as a farm produce tract, he further explained. Snowden estimated that the bill would involve valuing between i0,-

of property at g cost of $!u000.000 to $7,500,000. Sir Austen Chamberlain Conserva-

u vague and declared the tax would be open to innumerable legal obiec-

TERRITURIAL PRIVILEGES ABiiilSHEli

Mandate I s s u e d By Foreign Minister In The National Gov- ernment at Nankiug Yesterday.

(British United Pres!) NANKING, China, May 4—Thc special extra. territorial privileges which forclgnrrs traditionally have enjoyed in China, were summarily dc clared abolished by a mandate issued by the Foreign Minister in the Na- tional Government at Nanklng to- day. The mandate declared that the new regulations governing the exer- cise oi jurisdiction over foreign Na- tionais in Chins would blcome ef- fective January l.

The declaration followed China's refusal to accept the most recent de- mand by the foreign powers that foreign jurisdiction over their Na- tionals be continued in Shanghai, Canton, Tlenstsin, Peiping and Han- kow. The Government's action came on the heels of ihc breakdown of ne- gotiations between Sir Miles Lamp- son, British luiinlster to China, and Dr. C. T. Wang, Foreign Minister. Lampson went to the Foreign Office this morning to continue the parleys. Subsequently it was announced that they had failed to reach an agree- ment on these privileges. The Foreign office Communique said negotiations with Greet Britain, the United states France and Japan were deadlocked. The mandate followed these an- nouncements. It had been anticipated that Dr. Wang would issue it prior to the proposed peoples convention, scheduled to convene in the Capital tomorrow.
