It scams useless to continue a con-

troversy with a paper wllch has no more regard for its reputnifion than has The Patriot. It should have long ago learned th-at bluffy bluster and abuse ng no argument. It is how- ever becoming more docile. lt is amusing to read what it has to say about this paper ncccpting~»-itr con- ditions, just ns if The Guardian had to do all it says. This piii_.i~ ncvor Tlgllrcs sample copies, papers sold for, wrapping, nor other than actual cir- cliliition, as ln. its affidavit iii this 'issui-_,`and it is quite natural to sup- pose from The PatrTot's course that it does so. The Guardian asked than tin- finding of therommfttee ‘ue av- ailable for piiblicntion, but even that does not satisfy the l-‘ntr‘Iut.

That paper has preverted The Guar-

dlan’n challenge re the Semi Weekly Patriot and continues to make it a condition of the $200 offer, but The Guardian did not do so. i

If 'Phe Patriot will but look up page

8 of yesterdays Guardian it will see ithat. this paper had the necessary re- ference to the Senl.-weekly Patriot, that papei-’s statement to the con- trary notwithstanding. The Gunr- dian is ever ready to nia'ke good all its claims.

Guardian readers are expresirng surprise that this paper should waste so much space over The Patriot by discussing o matter fu which there

IIEEIPITIIIIITI IN

TAX EXEMPTIIIIIS

MONTREAL, December 8-A move

was today started ‘by the Montreal 'board of trade to secure reciprocity in

portations from special taxes between, the various provinces. The Quebec uct exempts from such special tax corporations chartered in any pro- vince which does not so tax corpora-' tions chartered in Quebec without taking out a special license. Boards of trade throughout the Dominion will be asked to urge the various 'leg- islatures to adopt similar leilslatlon. It is thus hoped to free corpnraltions from needless vexatious taxation by the various provinces in which they may have to do business.

The temperature at three o’cloch`

this morning was nineteen degrees.
