The railway men in the | city also receive good pay, and are taxed } accordingly, The railway and other brauches of the public service are not kept up by the people of the city, but by the people of the whole province. The railway is used to carry on the business of the province. The central station is in the city, and, as he already stated, the city is the natural outcome of its geographical position. Because Charlottetown is sita- ated where it is, it becomes the centre of trade, and the business of the whole pro- vince gravitates in that direction. In this way the money ot the people of the coun- try goes to assist in the

the institutions of the city, and he failed to see, therefore, why the city should be exempt from a tax which is to be imposed on all the rest of the Province. Regard- ing the school supplements, he thought the city was on the same basis as the rest of the Province. The reduction applied to both the city and the country. The city, however, had greater educational ad- vantages than the country. In the city were situated the colleges, and the chil- dren of country people had to go to the city to finish their education. In this way also the people of the country contributed indirectly to the revenues of the city.

Recess,

After recess Mr. Shaw resumed the de- bate. Taking up the matter of the school supplements,he aya n pointed out how city and country were alike affected by it. if the city oo wanted better teachers, they would have to increase the supple- ments, as they had to du in the country. He would not admit that the income tax wonld strike mainly at the city. Its ob ject is to reach persons whose incomes are in excess of $350, no matter whether they live in the city or not. He also took ex- ception to the argument that the land tax, if applied to the city, would strike at the poorer class of people, and claimed that the poorer peopie did not own houses, but paid rent. He thought that if a tax were imposed on land, the vacant lots would be forced into the market, or the | owners would have to erect houses on them | tO raise a revenue to meet the tax. The result would be the erection of a better | class of dwellings and a reduction in rent. The houses should not be taxed, only the

land on which they are built. A goodly number of these houses are now vacant and no wonder as many of them are not | tit for habitation. Ifthe adopting of the | bill would mean the erection of better | houses in the city, then so much the better | for the poor people. Proceeding he point- } ed ont that the people of the city had al! ' ' }

| the nodern conveniences; the people of | the country bad to go without them. We have been told that the schools of the city cost a large sum. To erect them debentures had to be issued, and we have | to pay a large interest on them. In the | country the schools were paid for by the people out of their own pockets. The } city has * ght to pay the interest on its own sevt. But they had no right to com- ; plain if they had to pay more for education than the people of the country. The same argument applies to sidewalks and electric lights. They have a right to pay for these conveniences the same as tLe people of the country would have to do if they en- joyed them. It is said that the roads in the country are kept up at the public ex- | pense while the streets of the city are paid fur by the city. Is it not the country that has advanced one hundred fold the land | values of Charlottetown? It was the men who came in with the products tiat practically made the city. It was not by the energy of the people of Charlottetown but by that of the country that building sites are worth what they are. Now, fabout the wharves.

} the public service the city derives an equal | proportion of benetit accord.ng to population | with the country, with the exception of | the roads. He instanced the Hospital for the Insane and the Department of Justice, both being items of expenditure. Bot | these institutions are maintained out of } the same fund, and the city as well as the ; country should eontribute to their main- tenance. The jails and poorhouse should be paid for by both e:ty and conntry alike, as one has the same advantage as the other in respect to them. Paxes should be imposed for general pur poses and not in favor of any particular person or any one district.

Tue clau-e ax rend then pas<ed. Mr. Shaw moved that section three be famended, #6 aa nut to exempt Charlotte- + wwn and Summerside. As amended, the xection would read as followa: “ That the j tax to be imposed shall be payable an } nnally, and sha!) be as follows, that is to | may.” ‘The motion was lost. j Mr. Bell moved an amendment to the effect that the assessment shal! be accord- | ing to valuation and not according to clas- | sification. ' ‘ i

The motion was lost on divisien. Mr. Bell and all the Opposition except Mr, Blanchard voted for the amendment.

Mr, Shaw contended that when a per- | son was making a declaration as to the | value of his property, any incwmbrr nee on ; said Jand should be deducted from the value of the land. an] moved an amend- ment to that effect.

The amendment was discussed by | Mesers. Shaw, Rogers, Peters, McKinnon, Sinclair, A. Petors, Bell, Farquharson, Arsenault, Gordon, Warburton and A. J. Macdonald.

After recess the debate was resumed by | Mr. Macdonald, who had the floor at six o'clock. At the conc)usion of his remarka the amendment was declared Jost on divi- sion. The clause then passed.

Mr. Shaw moved a series of amend- ments to eub-seetions of the section providing that the valuation shal! apply to the value of the land over and above en- cumbrancee. These amendments were all voted down by the Government.

Mr. Shaw tcok exception io section 9 uf the bill, which reads as follows;

“The value to le stated in said de. claration and taxed upon shall include the value ot land, with the buildings thereon erected, but no increase in value shal! be | made on account of improvements made | after the imposition of this years tax.”

He pointed out that under this section | @ tax wae to be imposed on thrift and in- | dystry, although in his Mount Stewart | . | Apeech, the Leader promised that these would not be taxed. Mr. Shaw denounced | such conduct, pointing ont that while the Government had a right to tax land to | raise ordinary revenue, they nad no right } to tax the buildings thereon. The build- ing, while it might be used as a storehouse fur the crops, did not add to the fertility of

the soil and should not, therefore, be counted. The bill is nothing more or less than @ tax on the thrift and industry of the Province. it is against justice and equity. Sofar as it is possible labor should be as free and untramelled as the air we breathe. He believed it was against the best interests of the Province to levy this tax and therefore moved that the words “with the buildings thereon erected” be struck out of the clause and the clause amended by providing that the value of the buildings shall not be taken into account when the valuation of the land is being made.

Mr. Rogers (Alberton) thought all this talk bunkum. What made the land of greater value now than it was 100 years ago? Was it not thrift and industry, the tax was to be on land values as they exist at present.

on. Mr. Gordon claimed that laws should be passed in the interests of the people. At the Mount Stewart meeting the Leader promised to exeinpt thritt and industry, and that statement waa re- ceived with great applause. Now he had gone back on that promise, and was tax- ing thrift and industry, Why had he done 80? What strony influence had been brought to bear on him ? The Opposition take the round that thrift and industry should uot taxed. They hold that the soi! alone should bear the burden

Mr. Warburton po'nted out that the principle of unearned iucrement was, to@ certain extent, embodied in the bill. Afier this year no bu klings or improvements were to be taxed.

Mr. Shaw said that the last speaker had voted again-t the interests of his constit- uents to saye himself, when he voted to exempt Charlottetown from the taxes to be imposed by the bill. He thought we should endeavor to place on the stiouldera of the people a just and equitable tax—e tax which would ex mpt thii‘t and indwa- try. He did not believe ia the principle of taxing the honest and industrious man and allowing the lazy and indolent man to escape. To tax the buildings that ad- vanced the price of land was to tax pro- gress. Labor had no right to pay ‘tribute to the revenue of the province.

Mr. Prowse said that thrift and indus- try would have to be taxed as nothing could be got from poverty.

Mr. A.J Macdonald expressed himseif as being favorable to the amendment.

Mr. Arsenau!t said one man owns 100 acres of poor land and builds on it a fine honse worth about $1,000, and another

it appears that there has been a misap- prehension on the subject of conferring the title of honorable for life on persons who have held the office of Speaker of the Legislative Council or A«seimbly for three years.

Bxeeeded His Duty.

Mowrrea., May 4.

Lient.-Colonel Houghton, District Ad- jatant General, made a serious blunder re- cently, which has called down on him the wrath of Major-General Herbert. On. Tues- day night Sir Donald Smith gave a recep- tion in honor of the Earl of Aberdeen, then visiting the city.. Lieut.-Celonel

man owns 100 acres of good land and has a house on it worth only $100. What is the first-mentioned land going to be worth after the value of the house is added to it? Will not the man owning the poor land and the fine house have to pay more than the man owning the good land and the poor house? The man owning® the good land postpones building until next

Houghton publicly issued an order to the officers of the Montreal corps to attend in full dress uniform. The reception was in no sense a public function, and now the town is wondering how Houghton could have made such a social blunder. The Commander’s sharp note called his atten- tion to the fact that he had exceeded his

duty.

year, when he puts up a $2,000 house, which is exempt under the law. Asa re- sult, the man owning the poor land is taxed highly, while the rich man practic- ally escapes. He did not think this was fair. The tax should be put on the land alone, and the buildings should be exempt.

Mr. Robertson thought the bill would meet with the approval of the people. Thrift and industry would have to be | taxed to raise a revenue.

Mr. Bell said there were some features of the bill that he did not thoroughly un- derstand. He thought that the impro+e- ments referred: to in the bill included buildings, fences and clearings. This was inconsistent with the views expressed when framing the measure. A good building on a 100 acre farm added $1 per acre to the value of the land. There did not seem to be much difference between exempting past and future improvements. If future invprovements were to be ex- empt, past improvements should be sim. ilarly dealt with. There was a strong feelmg amongst the people that buildings

should not be taxed. But those who asked = for this exemption —ar- gued against their own _ interests. If we exempt improvements in the country they showld «also be »exempt

in the villages. This would thfw the tax back on the farmers, as it gould do away with a great part of the revenue. In view of the apparent inconsisteney in the section under discussion and the public feeling to which he had already made reference, he thought that only the land should be taxed—that the buildiags should be extempt. Va!uation of land is really | the value apart from the value of the buildings.

Hon. Mr. Peters said the idea of the bill was to tax properiy as it atood at the present. and that assessed value was to stand. There was to be no renewal of the asrexmentas under the Davies Act, It was not intended to tax future improve- ments. We wish as fares we can to en- courage the people toimprovetheir property, The feeling said to exist amongst the peo- ple concerning the exemption of bnildings he knew nothin s aliout.- He did not think an impression wae prevalent. If buildings are not taxed we shall have to raixe the tax on land from 6 to 9 or 10 per cent. The lots in villages are practically valueless without the buildings thereon. The man who asks usto take away the tax on buildings asks us to take away one half the tax. °
