A1q"g0ocl_fdeal_fof uncertainty prevails,re-
garkling thegeiiforcenient here of .the In- come War Tax, .Officials haye been ap- poirited in every province, excepting our ovvn,_for the purpose of putting the -new law into effect. Why is it the province of Prince Edward Island has been ignored in
thorities _of this province h_ave.got but lit- tle else to do than to remind the powers- that-be at Ottawa, that we are a p_rovince and not some mere county of Ontario, New Brunswick, or Nova Scotia, as_they seem to think. In all matters of Legislation _and administration our status as a province should, and must, be recognized and con- served or the_ time»will surely come when we -shall be ignored entirely. There was nothing to prevent the’authorities at Ot-
iopposition The opposition, however, has ltaken a wholesome form, t e manner, *the principle being opposed. The Galt Board of Health has registered its disap- proval of individual citizens keeping hogs within the city limits but is in favour of a, municipal piggery. g ' - __
Other boards of health will no doubt
agree with the Galt Board that hogs in ci- ties are a nuisance anda menace to the health of'-the City. A hog is a hog and a hog pen or sty, in the city or country, can- not be made into a bed of roses, cannot in ‘fact be made into anything but an ill-
gf- ' 1 _
dwelling of the owner and from those of the neighbours. In the city this is im-' possible; if the owner escapes the neigh- bour cannot and there are many neigh- bours in Charlottetown who know this to their cost. ‘ ` In Brantford, Ontario, the municipal piggery idea has taken definite form. In- stead _of the small army of garbage collec- itors who heretofore havcattended to this duty, a private contractor has been given
tawa, appointing an official to 1`@l>1`9S0“f'the job and he will start a piggery on zi
the Financial Department here in the mat- ter of income tax collection. If they deem- ed the duties of an official were not such as to warrant any considerable expendi-
large scale using the garbage as feed.
Such an institution as this would be
easily possible in Charlottetown. There is plenty of land available within a short
ture, there is no reason why they should- distance of the city for a small hog farm.
The hogs could be placed in charge of a
not have appointed the Deputy _Receiver-_
General here. With probably the 'aid 013| capable man and at present prices for hogs one additional clerk Mr. Percy I’ope,, and hog products there is no reason why it could discharge the duties of the of’fice.E should 'not pav handsomely besides adding
Instead of acting in this sensible way the government at Ottawa has tacked us on to Halifax, with the result`that practically nothing is being done to enforce the act or to give _necessary information concerning details of vital importance to taxpayers. All schedules giving particulars of incomes should have been returned to the govern- ment not later than I"cbruary 28th and income tax is pa_vab_le as from April lst. So far as Prince Edward Island is concerned the act remains a dead letter, as no sche- dules have been provided for use by the public and there is no one hcrefto see they are provided aml distributed. The sooner action is taken to enforce our inherent rights as a province' of the Dominion, i_n this and all other respects, the better it will be for the province and Dominion alike. »

A committee appointed by the _Bri-
tish government to make an exhaustive enquiry into the working of the Daylight Saving Act, with a view to determining whether it should be continued for the com ing year, recently reported most favour- ably and recommended that it be continu-' ed. From the view point of public health, of economy, the interests of the working men and the output.-of factories it was de- clared to have been ’ beneficial. In con- cluding its report the Commission said:
“Taking the evidence we have receiv-
ed as a whole, we can unhesitatingly say that the vast preponderance of opinion throughout 'Great Britain is enthusiasti- cally in favour of summer time and of its renewal, not only as a war measure, but as a permanent institution.” _
The United States government has ad-
opted Daylight Saving and the Act will come in force there on April lst. It is more than probable that Canada will do like- wise and that not only in America but in Europe all clocks will be pushed ahead an hour on the first day of April. Unques- tionably it will be advantageous in many respects. In factories, except those that work day and night and in private homes it will effect a saving in oil and fuel. In the warmer portions of the country the greater part of the work will be done dur- ing the cool morning hours' that are now wasted in sleep, while it will give -einploy- ees and all workers an extra hour of re- creation in the evening. '“
Infthe sectional attempts made last
summer to introduce the system only fail- ure cofuld be expected as trains and steam- ers ran on standard time, thus falsifying the daylight saving timepieces, _besides

_materially to the world supply of bacon. ln connection with the piggery a few acres of land could be utilized for the growing of _potatoes aiid other vegetables and feed. _The city's kitchen garbage, now practically' wasted, could also be utilized in this con- nection and although the individual quan- ftities might be small, they would in the ag- ,gregate amount to a very consideriiblc 'quantity and would go a long way in feed- ing a bunch of hogs. i | How is this to be accomplished? There is no doubt that such a venture, underta- _ken by a wideawake inan who iiiiderstands jso_mething about hog raising and who is willing to learn more, could make it a pro-

Why does the. Patriot assume, with its
anonymous correspondent, that»the Seed Fair in Charlottetown has been abandon- ed? The Patript knows that a meeting oi' the _Comniittee has been an absolute im- possibility' during _the period when such meetings are usually held; This does not mean that the meeting will not be held or that the Seed Fair shall not take place. |'i`he Patriot knows also, and it should re- ‘licve the mind of its. “interested” corres- pondent on that point, likewisejthat the holding or not holding of the seed fair lies entirely with the committee and thatthe
