THB TRAVBLLBRS’ TAX.
I A recent issue of the Toronto Dry Goods
travellers’ complaint against the tax lm
posed in this Island and reprints a poe
‘about thatmatter, from the pen of our
Mr. W. S. Louson of Charlottetown M
Louson, as all GUARDIAN readers know,
is aclever and versatile writer, Whose
descriptive sketches have been wideli
read and who sometimes “drops into
poetry” without making any ext
charge. Mr. Louson naturally feel
trave1ler’s tax, and especially :that new
namely. a demand for $100 each from hint-
. agents of large wholesale houses in the
small class are good citizens, who live in
our midst, spend . their money in our
midst, pay taxes and do what they can to
help ln building up the City and promot-
ing its welfare. We are all very glad to
have them with us and would like :to
keep them here.
The contention of these commercial
men, resident and itinerant,is that theltax
law is unfair and unjust; that it infringes
upon the freedom of trade between the
Provinces which it waslthe prime object
of confederation to secure; that it is
auaiustrna spirit. ifiuctrnc letter or rua
act of union; that it is conceived in a f
narrowsplrit, is agaiustthe true interests
of the Island, and against the wishes of
the merchants andftraders here; that lt
serves to create in the other Provinces a
prejudice against the Islandand tends to
restrict business and travel: and dually
that both the taxon commercial travell_
ers and the tax on resident agents ought
to be at once and forever abrogated.
Much might besaid and much has been
said in the amplification and support of
the views last above reclted,snd the alert, H
genial and versatile Kuightspf the Grip-
know of to make the most of their case.
even were it far less strong than lt is. We
frankly admit that they do make a strong
case and present it in very convincing gud
persuasive fashion. _But there is another l
side to the case and that also ought to be
presented to the public, the people, who
under our representative institutions are `
the ultimate arbiters of all such matters.
The other side of~ the case must there
fare be in brief here set down. The public
men who passed the tax act, and who
govern the Island must be acquitted of
any feeling against the commercial travel-
lers or the houses they represent. They
would all be glad if circumstances had not
“risen that seemed to render 'necessary
the imposition of the tax in question. They
had no desire to restrict legitimate trade,
or to violate the spirit of the union com-
pact. They will deny that they were ac-
tuated by narrow or sectional views, and
equally they will deny°that the tax is un-
just. Aud finally they put forward the
strong plea of necessity. This side of the
case is entitled to consideration, as our
_ commercial friends must admit.
By consent of the leaders and represen-
tative men of both political parties the
iixed income ofthe Island has come' short
of its needs for many years past. We
