JULY 3, 1920.

The retirement of Sir Robert Borden from the leadership of the Union Government announced in our telegrams today will not cause any surprise. It‘ has been (ixpecterl for some time but is none the less regrettable. Sir Robert, it is now known, is one of the casualties of the war. Through devotion par- alleled only by the men who stood in the trenches and fought the Hun to a ﬁnish, he stood by his post not only till the war was over but till his country ~was well advanced in its reconstruction, but he did it at the cost of his health; did it zigainst the advice

and warnings of his physicians; did it until he had, gone even beyond the limit of human And now to the deep regret but even on the solici-J tatioii of his friends he is obliged to abandon heavy responsibility of lcadtirship.

the

Political oppo-

nents; as well as political friends, and the friends of Canada and the Empire which he served so faith ful- ly will join in the fervent hope that the respite which he has now consented to take has not been 1.1 i long

postponed and that a goodlv and enjoyable measure.

Notices claiming income tax for the year 1919 are brine; circiilatcil througboiit the province, whc- tlici‘ to political friends or opponents. Whether these

notices shall bring the expected and belated harvest, or not we are not in a position to declare, but appear-'

ances arc that the llell government has muddled this

business as they have done in

thing they have touched.

In thei ‘ anxiety to pile up an adverse balance,

practically very-

agziinst the Arscnault government they neglected to realize upon the revenues and deliberately neglected to ‘|)l't)Vlll(.‘ for the collection of the taxes for the year 1919. This ivas ilesigned for the double purpose of

showing a large zidverse: balance against the government and, as they ﬁgured, augmenting

late the

receipts for 1920 by the amount thus carried over. As a result of this manoeuvre the province may stand to lose many thousands of dollars made uncoilcctable either by the carelessness, ignorance or neglect of

the licll government.

The statute 1911, section 9, is mandatory and

requires that the schedule setting forth the amountl of income for which each person is assessed “$111111;

be made up and tiled in the office of the Provincial Treasurer of this Province on or before the ﬁfteenth day of September in each year.” Such schedule not having been ﬁled within the time speciﬁed could not be legally ﬁled or prepared thereafter and there is grave doubt whether an attempt to collect taxes on

the basis of a tax list subsequently prepared and notl

authorized by statute would be successful.

In a notice accompanying the tax bills

they

practically admit their default and give as a reason why the notice is given at this late date instead of iii October of last year, that “owing to a changrc. in ‘the method of ascertaining the income on whicheach person should, be taxed for that year . In point of fact this change in the Act was made in 1913 and the govern- ment offering it as an excuse for their neglect in

been unavoidably dela ed.” . .1’

1919 is too flimsy to be entertained.

has

The govern-

ment should have known the requirements of the

Act and should have acted

upon them.

Because

they have failed to do so the province must suffer.

JFINEICS SA I..\Ill ES.

We are pleased to note by the Hanzard report

of the amendment of the Judge's Act, (letails

which were not given to our telegrams. judges of theSupremc Court of Prince Ewward Is- land have been placed on the same footing as those of the other provinces. The Guardian has always advocated this equality and it is difficult b0 under- stand why the difference had been permitted to exist so long. The Chief Justice of this province, accord-

ing to the amendment, will receive the same salary

of that the

as those of our sister provinces, namely $10,000, the Master of the Rolls and the Vice Chancellor each re-

ceiving $9,000.

Y The salaries of the County Court judges have al- so been increased by $1,000 giving them now in all the provinces a sa ary of $5,000.

Government reports from cold storui-ze warehouses are already commencing to indicate the expect- ed largo crops to be reaipod in this yours harvest. Uullcr, eggs, marg- nrinc und several kinds of meats are stored in decidedly larger quan- tities than lust year, wlillo the ex- cess of poultry is enormous. When we ﬂnd conditions thus, thiis early in the season, whut must we look lor in quantity when. the heavier niidsuuiinei‘ supplies are added, io say‘ nothing of the natural larre product in the full. Cheese is iioiii- inally about two cenls lower than at lhc same period last your, wlillc butlei is if anything slightly ﬁrmer and higher in price. This lnller is due lo speculative purchasing and holding, rather than to scarcity oi supply, and lherc is linblllly o. i_i~ cessloii in price at any time.
