The appeal of the Fuel Controller am
the Special Thrift Committee for economy
in the use of gasoline, in order that sufiic
ientaupplies may be available for war pur-
poseslfis one that, we feel sure, will meet
wit_h"a .willing response throughout this
provi¥icé.as.throiighoiit the domi_nion._ The
request is-'merely that Sunday joy-riding
be cut out beginning next Sunday, Sep-
tember 15th, It is but a little sacrifice that
is asked, the sacrifice of a little doubtful
leasure, a little illegal pleasure at that,
P _ _ _ _
for Sunday joy~riding is too often a Sab
bath pastime. In view of the sacrifices that
are being made by those who are driving
the Huns out of France, by those who have
been doing glorious' work in the battle-
fields b those who have given husbands
, Y _
1 sons, brothers, yes daughters and sister.-
also, surely the request to give up Sunday
joy riding is a little thing. When we arf
authoritatively told'that $150,000 wortl
of gasoline can be saved in Canada by giv
_‘ing up Sunday car driving-if all_agree tt
.it--and when we know the pressing neec
of gasoline to run the ambulance cars, th'
motor lorries, the aeroplanes, the submar
ine destio eis etc, the Waste of $150 00(
__ .y  ._ _ , _ ’
worth of it for Sunday riding alone 100m opera glasses and ii hundred other article
up as nothing short of an absolute crim-
iigainst our country and against oui-,son
who are fighting and laying down the
lives for it. - _
‘ The authorities, trustng to the patriot
ism of all Canadians, consider it _sufiicien
to simply make the request hoping _thai
there will be such a general complianc
with it that restrictive legislation shall n/
be necessary. We trust that, for the goo'
name of all Canadians, this confidence ii
our patriotism may be justified and that
on Sunda and all the following Sunday
Y _ _
until the war is over no cai's will be seen
on our roads or streets except in absolute
ly necessary and unavoidable cases. r
Car owners will by their compliancf
with this 'request or by their refusal plac'
themselves in one or other of the tw:
classes, patriotic or unpatriotic. Of coursi-
it will not be forgotten that all cars sec
on the roads and streets on Sundays are
not joy riders, many of them doubtless ar'
on quite legitimate business, but the great
majority are out merely for pleasure. It i
to these latter that the appeal is bein
made on these latter that the blame fc-
non coinpliance will fall. We expect there
- fore to see a very marked curtailnient of
Sunday car riding during the remainder o-"
the summer. _

“With but few exceptions,” said Mr. J
A. Jackson, Honorary Secretary of th-'
Sailors Week in Ottawa, the other da;
“people who live in every luxury and wit!
their every want gratified, automobiles a”
their disposal, expensive holiday trip;
costly entertainments of their guests, havt
given a mere pittance, where they coult'
just as easily have given hundreds without
feeling the donation. I cannot help bu'
wonder what the feeling of these wealtlij
people would be if their names were pub-
lished in the press as giving a few paltry
dollars-and in many instances less than
a dollar.”
This was in Ottawa. Wonder if similar
conditions prevail elsewhere, if, say in
Prince Edwardlsland, those who live in
luxury and with every want gratified, are
in the habit of giving “a mere pittance,
where they should give hundreds,” and
leaving the burdens of charity and of war
necessitiesto be borne by those who can
least afford it?
Wealth is not usually acquired by sup-`
porting the charities or the institutional
necessities of the country. While the “fee
exceptions” noted in Ottawa are to be
found in every city and ‘ln every country.
it is nevertheless true that in every city
and in every country the liberal givers am-
ong the wealthy are sadly out of propor-
tion to their number and to their ablity to
contribute. There are, thank God, the ex-
ceptions among the wealthy and to them
largely is due the establishment and main-
tinance of our charities and our patriotc
undertakings. Our hospitals, our colleges,
our splendid contributions to the different
War funds are indebted to the wealthy for
Stances are they who made the real sacri-
fices in giving. . V _
“If their names were given in the
press’\? Perhaps it would make a vast dif-
_ference in the contributions, provided “the

of the “right hand” was going to be pub-
lished. If, however, the names were given
in the press, after the fact, "the feeling of
some of these wealthy people” would prob-
ably be shocked. This, inferentially, might
lead~to the conclusion thatit is to the “giv-
ing of the names to the press” rather than
to our actual charitableness that many ol'
-iur charities owe their largest contribut-
ions. We adniit that the inference is hum-
liating and discouraging, but the comment
gether with experiences met with else-
where than in Ottawa, pretty nearly con-
firms it.

A British Committee appoiited to draft
.a schedule of Luxury Duties in the United
Kingdom has just completed its report.
The investigation was based on the prin-
:iple that the duty should apply only upon
unnecessary or superfluous expenditures.
Therefore, a list of articles always liable to
duty, whatever their cost, was first drawn
up. This in ludes all jewellry and gold

than upright) phonographs billard tables,
of similarnature.
The second schedule provides for the
taxing of expensive meals in Clubs and
Hotels. For example, a breakfast whicl
costs more than 620 in a club, or 75c else
where, is subject to taxaton_ The exempt-
ion on dinners is from $1.00 to  Thr
man who pays $1.50 a day for a room is
exempt. If he pays more than that the ex-
cess expenditure is taxed.
The third schedule fixes the prices a'
which clothing, for men and women, ant
furniture may be exempted. A few exam
ples are given. The most a woman can pai
for garments without being taxed on tht
purchase is given in the following list:
Boots  $8.75 Hats (trimmed) $8.75
Shoes  8.12 Suit  ...36.75
Slippers ._ 2.50 Dress __ __ ,_;_2_(i.,25

Hats Petticoat or
(untrimmed) 3.75 nightrobe _ /7.50
Corsets _ _ ...__ _.625
Other schedules are on a similar scale.
The prices are not niggardly. Any one can
be decently dressed on such an outlay, buf
all “flummery” and extravagance will bt
liable for a war impost, and not a small
one. Machinery will be provided for ad-
justing the schedules in caselof a general
rise in prices of merchandise. Perhaps
Canadians will begin to realize after a
study of this system of taxation -how light-
ly the burden of war has fallen upon them
in comparison with the folk across the seal
