SOME TAXES
iluring the piping times of pcacc we all with one accord
talked fluently, and sometimes earnestly, about the curse
of taxation and we bore the burden \vith mingled resigiia-
tion and indignation.
And yct there are countries that are more heavily taxed
than ours-by a considerable pcrccluai.'9. Take. f0l' ill-
staiicc. Great Britain. From an analysis of the new Bri-
tish income tax, given in ti recent London paper. we find
that will keep his own sons on his farm! There is some-
thing wrong and there should be-a way to make it right.
One of the causes operating against the farmer is the
t that a satisfactory system of co-operation
impossible owing to diversity Of PBODIB
engaged in his calling, lie is not half paid
for his product and he is not in n position to de-
mand a reasonable price. Yet from his earnings a number
of niiddlemen make n rut living.
'l`lie question is one of business solely. When farming is
carried on along the lines followed in other callings, it will
be sufficiently reniunerntive ami attractive to keep not only
the sons but the immigrants on the farm.
A A Motu: oP°'rinisu ._ j
Yesterdays news contained two outstanding items of fin-
ancial optimism which may be noted. Mr. H. V. Meredith,
President of the Bank of Montreal, in his address at the
annual meeting of shareholders, expressed confidence in
the soundness of (‘anada‘s financial structure and a firm be-
lief that the present pause in activity and advancement
would be followed in the not distant future by an era of
renewed prosperity.
“War and other adverse conditions," he said, “are bound
to retard our progress. A period of rest and recuperation
may be expected, but the future depends to a. great extent
upon the spirit with which the pecpie meet the changed

unquestionably be felt.
“Economy and prudence in the matter of expenditure,

Sincerely optimistic were the predictions of Sir W. Vati-
lias an income of $250,000 \vili pay next year $8,900, having t I-lorne. President of the C. P. R.:
paid proportionate amounts for this and last year. An in-

on through the varying sizes.
And this. be it remembered, is only one tax. They arc

it would appear that we owe something on this account.
if every man, woman and child had not paid that five doi
lars each, year after year, for many years past, and that
navy had not been kept. up, it is not only possible but very
probable, almost certain, that the British Empire, including
Canada and Prince l'<J\|ward island, would, today, be either
possessions of (iermany or lighting an unequal battle in an RI
invaded couni:'y with an enemy that, as invaders, would be sl
overwlielniiiigly powerfzii. U
\\hilo we have cause to thank C-od that the good people in
of Great Britain paid the enormous cost ot' the niaintcnnnco S
of the navy and that that navy is at present guarding our
own trade lanes on thc Atlantic and Pacific, and keeping Si
our enemy locked up in the .\orth Sea, in order that we may
more ltindiv eyes upon what we in our haste iiavc hitherto
_ _ . C
nailed our "burden of taxation." We might even, if thc- d
opportunity again presented itself. contribute a paltry
$35,000,000. for the upkeep ot` thc navy. R
We may also be encouraged to regard more syiiipatliet- S
it-ally the various funds that have been instituted to help f
the Empire in thc gigantic struggle in which she is at pre- b
sent engaged on her own account and ours.
" URBAN AND RURAL
The Census and Statistics Monthly for November publish-
es some interesting facts about the distribution of rural
and urban population. From 1871 to 1881 the urban popu-
lation increased over thc rural by 32.5 per cent; during thc
next decade it ilicreased il8.:'» per cent.
During the period 1901 to 1911 there was a large iuimigra~
limi- Cflualiing 34 per cent. of the whole population, yet the
rural increase during these years was only 17 per cent.
llcfcrring to the causes leading to the increase of popii-
lution in the cities as conipnred with that of the country.
the _\lontlii_v quotes ilr. Peter il. llryce, Chief Medical Offl-
cer of the llepnrtnient ot' tlte liiterior in part as follows:
“'l`lic forclgiior who would have gone on the land has
been encouraged to stay in the r-ily to build our sewers and
streets at high wages: und. as we have seen this summer,
the boom being over and work slack, he too being debauch-
od by the impress of town life, likewise refuses to take
work in the country. Living ciiiply in slum quarters. made
so by the high cost of land ii of materials, which mean
the high coed ol rents. ho adds to our problems without
adding to our wealth. Surely then we must ask ourselves
if the situation is satist`aL~tory, or is it one which can go on
indefinitely witho_ut producing lasting national deteriora-
tion? Can we cxpcct to see. as we have seen, the urban
population go on increasing decade after decade and the
rural decline, till in England S0 per cent., in Germany, 70
per cent. ami on this (‘ontlnent, 60 per cent. of the total
population are living on the labors of the other part?
"Can children brought up largely indoors retain the stur-
tliness of muscles and firmness of nerve tissue adequate io
the future needs of the nation? is insanity. as Dr. Mott.
Pathologist of the London Asylum Board, says, begotten of
the neurotic or nervou constitution to be allowed to go on
multiplying continually as it has greatly in cities Must
the high pressure life, which is showing itself in steadily
increasing death rates after 45 years of age, continue, with-
out our realizing its meaning and determining in these days
of aroused patriotism to cultivate ssner national ideals?
We are a very young nation, and _vet we see ourselves refus-
ing to take warnings from the older peoples oi Europe and
rushing headlong along the same pathways which have creat-
ed city slums and a degenerate slum population; and this
too when ever extending railroads, trsmways and motors
are bringing yearly thousands of uncultlvsted acres almost
to thc doors of our towns and cities. is it possible that an
ever increasing proportion of the population can be paras-
itic, living upon the labor of the producer of the food 'a'nd
raw materials of wealth and yet that a proper balance be-
tween production and consumption, capital and labor, etn-
ployment sud employee be maiiitalnedf
These are questions worthy of serious consideration. la~
ups like ours such should not
look for a big revival in business in the not distant future.
"Primarily, I should say this country is bound to benefit
tremendously by the European war. The effects of this
are already being felt in tlie constantdemands on the agri-
cultural and manufacturing resources. it is doubtless the
appreciation of this which has aided more than any other
one thing in restoring confidence.
‘~'Thls demand has just about started. It is bound to grow
as the needs abroad become more urgent.” Therefore, the
future for business and for better times here is bright, and
this outlook cannot fail to impress any business man who
tries to keep in touch with current e vents."
AMERICAN EENTIMENT
The acid-like comment of many American papers apro-
os ol' il'-aunt von liernstorff‘s rash remarks regarding the
onroc doctrine and Canada are still most significant. They
iow that while l..'i-'> (`ount`s utterances are regarded with
iat incusuro ot' patiercc customariiv' accorded to the vary-
gs of dolls and habitually rash talkers, there are'limits
ci.
in lfis latest and most foolish utterance, therefore, the
lent patience of the journalistic commenters gave place
, _ , to sneers. quibs and sarcasms. “Would the Germans vio-
go on doing business as usual, we may perhaps look with la
tc the neutrality of New England in attempting to reach
tanada?" asked one paper. Another wondered at the mala-
roltness of raising a question respecting which there was
o possibility of accomplishment in an invasion of Canada.
nd there have not been wanting comments that voiced re-
entiuent, that a diplomatic agent should project into the
oreground, with mischievous intent, a suggestion that was
oth gratuitous and ill~timed. And, on top of this, there has
not been lacking the roundabout hints that Count Von Bern-
storfi’s room would be more welcome than his company.
We all, of course, realize that it is a. most delicate ques-
tion to cali up for official criticism the utterance of the
ambassador of a great power, and, accordingly, ofiiclnl
Washington remains silent.
But the press is not hampered hy'any such considera-
tions and Count von Bernstord has been handled without
gloves. .
The popularity of the Belgian relief funds in the United
States is as pronounced as is the unpopularity of the Ger-
man cause and the German ofiiclai representative.
if the Washington Government were moved by the spirit
of the majority of the American people, it would send a
short and sharp protest to the German Foreign Ofilce re-
specting the Belgian atrocities, just as Mr. Gladstone made
his famous and effective protest against the Bulgarian cut-
rsges. And the temper of the American people is steadily
rising. _
THE LATE MR. BEYERS
in connection with the death of the rebel leader, Chris-
tain Frederick Beyers,.which was reported in our recent
cables, it is interesting to recall the "dressing down" given
to him by Mr. J, C. Smuts, Minister of Defence, of the
Union of South Africa.
Wlteii Beyers resigned he had some characteristically un-
pleasant things to say about the British Empire. To these
Mr. Smuts replied courteously. After reminding him that
'fall the information in possession of the Government was
communicated by you, all plans were discussed with you
and your advice was foliowed," lie proceeds:
One would have expected that this approval would make
the matter easier for you. but now I find that you anticipat-
ed that Parliament would disapprove of the policy of the
Government. and that your disappointment in this is the
reason for your unexpected action. in order to make your
motives clearer, the reasons for your resignation were ex-
plained lii a long political argument which was immediately
communicated to the press. and came into the hands of the
Govemment long after publication. 
l need not tell you that all these circumstances in con-
nection with your resignation have made s most unpleasant
impression upon my colleagues and myself. But this un-
pleasant impression has even been aggravated by the alie-
gations contained in your letter. Your bitter attack on
Great Britain is not only entirely baseless, bat it is the
more unjustlfiable, coming as it does in the midst of a
great war from the Commendant-General of one of the Bri-
tish Dominions. Your reference to barbarous acts during
the South African war cannot justify the criminal devasta-
tion of Belgium and can only be calculated to alw hatred
and division among the people of South Africa. You for-
get to mention that since the Baath African war the Bri-
tish people gave South Africa her entire freedom 'under a
