TIIE FOX INDUSTRY.

Not since silver fox breeding began in this pro- vince has as much enthusiasm been aroused» or as much real business interest taken in the indus- try as during the past few weeks. The inspiration for this enthusiasm and this interest was the edu- cative campaign conducted by Hon- A. E. Arsen- ault who has been entrusted with the organization here of the Silver Fox Fur Selling Association. Heretofore the fox business in this province has been a sort of mining proposition. Many have been digging, investing their money, speculating; some struck it rich; others received little for their digging. The whole principle was wrong; it was not business The interests of all fox men were identical but all were working separately, some: winning, some holding their own, some losing, Similar re- sults had been. experienced in other lines of busi- ness, in diamond lmining, in orange ‘growing, in apple and other fruit growing, until some one dis- covered that by co-ordinating their efforts, by co- operating in production, in marketing, inpublicity, the business collectively and individually would be improved and each individual benefitted- This co- ordination and co-operation have been put into ef- fect with amazing results. ' ~

It bus been ‘asserted, and appar-

tbit Canada has u suppliiuot only of bituminous but Ilso of anthracite ooul, ample to meet every require- mgnt of the Dominion, and if (I92 sired sufficient also for export. rWhiie this is so, consumers have been ffvqllenlly up aganst chard- ships. 11nd industry seriously threatened, because of our pre- Snnt dependence upon the United States and outside countries for our fuel supplies. ‘This subject bu; been one of more or less sgltstlon for e considerable time back, and

maintain a steady demand for the most beautiful of all furs; feed and care scientifically for foxes and encourage the breeding of the best strains. This can be done only by co-operation, such co-operation as is proposed by the Silver Fox Fur Selling Associa- tion. '

It will cost something, but it will be worth the investment; foxmen who have faith in the industry who have faith in business principles, who have faith in intelli ent and properly directed co-operation will not hesi late to contribute towards the inauguration of a system which has demonstrated its advantages in other lines and which is bound to succeed in the fox industry if given an opportunity This opportun- ity is now available and we trust our foxmen will exemplify their faith in the industry by helping generously in putting the industry upon a solid and proved foundation. ~

LIABILYPY FOR TAXES. .

Whether knowingly or otherwise the Patriot in its article in Fridays issue on “The Liability for Taxes” entirely evaded the point at issue. The point raised by the Guardian was that‘ if the schedule de- manded by section 9 of the 1911 act tobe filed in the office of the Provincial Treasurer “on or before the 15th day of September in each year,” was not so filed in the year 1919 there is no provision for the collection of that year’s tax- ’

The Patriot quotes section 37 of the Act 1911 to show that “notwithstanding anything in this may be served upon persons who notified previously and the taxes col- lected from them, but it does not mention the very important fact that the Act of 1911 was repealed by that of 1920, section 214. which makes the res- ervation that “nothing contained in this act shall aft- fect the liability of the several companies &c and in- dividuals * ” * " or any of them for the rates taxes and penalties imposed bv the said Acts or any of them and \\'III(‘II IIAVE AlwRIYED DUE BE- FORE THE SECOND DAY OF JANUARY A. D- 1920-" The point here is that if the schedule, whose preparation and filing was mandatory, was not fil- ed, the tax for 1919 did not “accrue due before the second day of January: 1920-”

We are not pressing this matter for controver- sy; the question has been raised and it will no doubt

THE NIHY DANGER FROM RUSSIA.

Russia’s latest successes against Poland are rapidly creating a new danger to Europe and the world. This new threat is military and much more formidable than any capable of carrying on outside of Red Russia. The plain truth oi‘ the matter is that Russia has become unified under the Reds, and today has perhaps the largest and most dangerous army in Europe. It is a victorious army, having cleared Soviet Russia of all enemies, and is now on the offensive in a drive that menaces Poland’s very existence-Jlhe "Brook- lyn Eagle. -

A short time ago the Chicago Tribune was phllosophlsing pon the question of nationhood wit in teh nation, as applied in the con~ neclion of Great Britain with her colonies. There was this tons in its comment that "Canada, Aus- tralia, South Afrlca, etc., may, if they see fit, dlsassoclate them- selves‘ und become mltlons on~ tlrcly independent," hurl then with :1 little gravity it wisely adds, “which they will not do." They have correctly stated (‘the lease. These younger nations are in sl~ most every sense independent, not even tributory, upurt from tho trl- buto of affectionate loyalty, to the Mother lund. Gently the Tribune suggests that "Economic impulses and factors may prevail over tra- ditions and nationalistic lncllna~ dons," and that "with fundament~ a1 institution lu common with economic gnlns to be lounri in un- lml," “Canada some day mtry join the United States."

And its dream ls even wider than this, for it extends itsambitlon -by “a sensible Mexican policy to the Trdpics," as well us, by the absorb-- lion ol-Cunadu, "to the Arctic." From tho American view point the reasoning ‘can neither be ridiculed or blamed.
