Hamming tn The Guardian of May 29, rela- tive to the basic foundation upon which to build urban prosperity: "There is only one solution for his whole trouble. v1z., o0 Increase the earning capacity of our farm- ers and fishermen." The most unwise and uneconomic ideas are held by all manner of urban businessmen. as to the de- sirabiliLv of giving a ghffllkl‘ ..t..i.e of the town and city dollar to the primary producer‘. Most of these urban leaders readily recognize the principle that "wage power ls buy- mg power" within urban boundar- ies-yet. they seem to lose sight of that fact in their dealings with the 1ieople "down on the farm."

The Coun- cll must flx the tax rate each year, that. the rate shall be based upon the assessment roll and “the Coun- cll may either specify one general rate upon personal and real prop- erty or may by resolution specify a separate rate to meet. the estt- mates for (a) education; (b) In- terest and sinking fund: (c) all other ordinary civic expenditure; to the extent that. changes In the estimates tn one of said depart- ments may be met by a corre- sponding change of rate in that department alone". ‘The above Is taken from section B4 of the consolidated statute of 1931 and It. does not. requlre slaw- yer to Interpret. same or to say that the true intent and meaning of that section requires that. the Council must flx a rate each year produce enough money to pay for the estimated expendi- ture.

Taverncr. whose In- tierest, tn flowers and birds and wild life is well known, thinks people are too severe with skunks. For years. he says, skunks have frequented his Ottawa garden.‘ where they dig zealously for white grubs and potter about placidly. causing annoyance ti; nobody. He admits, It Ls true, that. on one oc- casion his dog encountered Mr. Skunk, but the results “were very mild" and not to be set against the satisfaction of having a skunk in the lei-den. The Journal Bees a long way with Mr. Tavemer 1n hls devotion ti; our wild llfe. A glimpse or a. deer tn the bush gives us far more satisfaction that the thought of. shootlng It. We are stirred to wrath as Ia Mr. Taverner when somebody takes an axe to a bear that. wants nothing but to be let alone. We put. up bird-houses and get a greater thrill out of a swallow nesting under the garage eaves than from an Imprisoned peacock. But with great. respect we have to say that Mr. Taverner. wlth hll semi-domesticated skunk, Is get- ting into realms where we cannot follow hlm. The skunk ts a pretty fellow, In his place with much natural dignity, striped beauty. and self- respect. Many a. motor-lat. has had to come to a twp on a country read while one of hls klnd mat-eh- ed serenely acmss In front of the car. unhurrled and unwanted. We have no doubt he prefers grub; to cabbnges, and doesn't injure the petunlas. But even concedlnll all‘ these points, we think the place for ‘what Mr. Taverner calla "thtst handsome little representative of the wilds" I, In those same wllttti.

He might. not like our looks, or the Kfubs might be lean and scarce, oi the red Dylamas on the line might offend his senslbilltles, and we are Wile certain the dog would distort: his serenity. Probably he would come to think. he was the loge; "f t'~--- premises and we the trespasser-and we can at-iite circumstances under whicr we should be Inclined to azrce with hlm. . So on the whole.
