  L GOVERNDIENT \\’ILL TAX Y0l' MORE.
 `e “great” Bell government which promised to
"`j‘*.- ce taxation and save the people from further
Lg-I ases now confesses through its organ the Pat-
-io-()-' that it is not in a position to fulfil its pre-electionv
‘I 'cruises Tho Patriot warns CITIZENS ooo FARM-
_  alike that they must be prepared for INCREAS-
’_iIl , TAXATION, or, to quote its own language:
"'f'fl‘I:IE GOVERNMENT MUST HAVE REVENUE
 MORE REVENUE AND THE INCOME TAX-
 ,AYERS As WELL As THE FARMERS MUST
  KE UP THEIR MINDS To CUNTRIBUTE IN
 PRoPoRTIoNs
 What are the electors to think of this face-about?
 addition to this the Government intends taking
iliftnidvantage of the Federal gi'ant_ for better roads,
fitjihd this according to the Patriot’s own showing,
.ifiileans an addition of $42 taxation on farms valued
if 'fat $6.000- --
 " _ _ In defence of the Go\'ernment’s extraordinary
 ,procedure in demanding a sworn affidavit from ev-
eryone regarding their incomes, the Patriot says'
 A the procedure is the same as followed by the Domin-
 ion Government and that the necessary provision
. was made by the Mathiesoii Government. This does
I not represent the facts as they really are. Every gov-
jf ernment reserves to itself the righ tito demand asworn
f afiidavit in such cases at it appears to it sufliciently
‘__ --full and complete information has been withheld by
 -fthe prospective taxpayer. The Mathieson_Government
1 :made this necessary provision and used it only under
" such circumstances. The Dominion Government does
" not call in the first instance for a swornstatement.
, ' It Sends out forms for particulars and this question-_
._.f._ naire has to be filled and retu_i‘ned_to the Treasury,
 or the Treasury’s representatives in_ the respective
 centres. If these officials be not satisfied with the
 information provided they then may demand a sworn
= declaration _or call upon_the parties concerned to
- produce their books for inspection by the govern-
ment ofiicials. Had the Bell Government adopted
5 these means no exception could be taken; but it has
._- demanded that every man in the province should
-_ proceed~to Charlottetown or Summerside_ or some
` other centre' where there is an ofiicial or an attorney,
» and make sworn declaration as to the details of his
_ income. It may be argued, as we said_befo're, that
 everyone has not been supoenaed, but If that be so
if it would be interesting to know who are the excep-
_ ' tions and why thev have been placed on the Govern-
" ment’s favoured list?
 The defence put up by the Patriot will not en-
' _ “'h`ance the reputation of that organ or save the Bell
"" i Government from the consequences of its action. One
' ‘thing is certain and that is that the Bell Government
 is going to increase our taxes and give nothing in re-
turn in the way of a boost to the development of our
‘agricultural interests. It is going to be a case evi-
` dently of take everything and do nothing to add to
' 'the prosperity of our agriculturists and through them
the people generally of the province. _
t""dm°““I P"1Vi1"g*" _ llw|"ore the introduction of the wig
Recent discussions regarding the
but that Lady Astor may or may not
wear in the House U! Commons sf-
ter her election has brought In
mind the history of the silk hat.
variously' called “chimney-'pot,`}
“stove-pipe," "cylinder," and "what
not," which became fishionable In
Paris albout the year 1790, soon af-
ter the death of Benjamin Frank-
lin, In whose honor it was for a
time known as "clizipenu Frank-
lin."
Notwithstanding the numerous
changes of styles this cylindrical
form of headgear has maintained
its ground ever since, unexpected
ns such zi result would -ha-ve seem-
ed at its introduction. For a time
this sort of hat was considered ro-
volutionary in Germany and In
Russia, but its evil reputation did
not long persist :ind the tall, still
hut, the ugliest head covering thu:
man luis ever worn,i\ccordtn',; to cs-
lhetlc aulhorities, outlives ull oth-
cr styles. '
ln certain of the Europenn par-
liaments the president, when he
finds it necessary to end nn argu-
ment, gravely -puts on his “cylin-
der," ns the Gerninns call it.'I'liou-gli
lt happened about half li century
ago, there are still those living who
laugh at the recollection of one pre-
sident who, to close a celebrated
ileliiite, took up his ncighbor's hat
hy inlstnke. lt wats by fair loo big
for him and, fnlling albout his e:ii's',
snuffod him out completely from
the gaze of the crowded house. ln
Germany when n distinguished poll-
Iiciain meets a friend In the street
the pusserby allows them a wide
berth otherwise tlie_ mijestic sweep
of the uplifted “cylliider" is apt to
send the pas`sei‘-b°_/ into the gutter.
I/Vhlle as a symbol the silk hat
has played an l-:uportnnt part In
civilization, It Iis :nowhere more
cultivated than in England, in thi-
Purlinment of which there has
grown up such an efaiborate etiqu-
ette concerning it tint new mein-
bers always find themselves iii-
volved in difii-cultic-s.
No honorable niem‘hel‘ sits in the
(Ioniinons without lils hat on his
head. If he rises to address the
house, greet ii friend or cross the
room he must holr1.hls “tile” in his
hzinil. Should his name be mention-
ed in the course of ii ineinber’s
speech he lil`ts his hat respectfully.
if it is in his hand when his nninc
is uttered etiquette demands thot
it shall hastily be clapped on his
heufl in order that he may lift it
with proper deference.
Foreigners visiting eiiher house
of Parliziinent are npt nt first to cx~
perii-nee u sensation of surprise at
olisirvinig Ii number ol' gentlemen
sitting on the binches with their
huts on their he'nls. Two reasons
how- been assigned for this wear-
ing of hats by ineinbers while in
the I‘linni‘bers, thc one being the
iiuixly independince ol' the cham-
bcr to which the hehatled nieinberg
belong und the ctlit-i' that absence

Two members of President Wil-
son's cabinet,'Bryan and Garrison,
retired because of differences with
the president over questions of
policy. Two resigned In order to
ei-cept other offices, Mclteynolds,
who was appointed by the president
to be an associate Justice of the
supreme court, and Glass, who is
about to leave the treasury to be-
come u United States senator from
Virginia. _
Three cabinet officers have re-
tired to resume the business of
making a living, McAdoo, Gregory
and Redfield, It is now nnnoiinced
that Fraiiklin K. Lane, secretary of
the interior, is ulboul to resign,
thereby losing to the government
the service of one ol' the ablest men
now ln public life. '
To ii imin who has no Independ-
rnt income tlierc is little induce-
ment these days to become a meni-
ber of the cabinet. 'l`he American
people are mean beyond descrip-
tion in their treatment of certain
clusses of public servants. They
starve their cabinet officers, they
starve their federal judges, .ind
they starve tlieir nmbussndors,

That news from Aniiens of the

dream dreams ii-bout escaping the

LONDON, Jun. 2.--For the first
time for five -years ii German jour-

He ls-I Dr. Bernhard Guttninnn,
one of the foremost newspaper men
of the time in Germany, nnd for u.
the correspondent of the "Frank
furler Zeituniz" In London. ln lo-
dsy’s issue of that paper he gives
his first impressions.
“L0nd0n," he says," appears to
the returned visitor scarcely to
have changed at ull, especially
when he thinks cf what luis ‘be-

stand hideous and »bl:ick in her

little gibe :it the U boat romsncers
who were always promising thut
Enghinil would ‘be starved iiilo de-
feat, while as ii matter of fact
"England never sufferezl serious
wiint."
"The meaning of year-long under-
feeding is unknown in England,” he
goes on. “Fcir that reason the suf-
ferings of lentral Europe to Ii
‘gi-cut extent are not understood."
New People of an Empire City
Bin this Gerniun observer sees it
cliunge in the people if not ln
lhings. "linniI.~nse in endless flood,
her street triiliic continues, and op-
pressed under ine brown-grey lieu-
ven of early wintt-r lies this city

Empire which is Home and Ciirth-
iige in one. whlchrclialns the sea
with ,its Ilccts, and has stumped
urnilm; ol' millions out of tho nur-
row plot of the homeland.
“The city remains’ unchanged,
but the people ure not unaltered.
Another people lives on this' is-
land. just ns another people inhab-
its Germany. The hourly strain of’
two thousand dirys of fever has
cliziiiged Iho souls, and other souls
innke other bodies. England is mili-
'z\riscIl."

great dli’l`i-renee in the giilt and the

the soldier is evident In the walk
of most civilians. London he thinks

WY dressed people to be seen-

He thinks the condition of the
Enslish worker greatly Improved
but finds the most serious results
of the war In the decline of the
middle class-“though that dev-
elopment is not proceeding so rap-
idly ns In Gerniainy."
Our upper middle class, he is
sure. is suffering most. and that he

Great Rally oi
World Students
_ _R .
DEG MOINES, Iowa, Jan. 3.--
The World’s Students' Conference,
which opened here yesterday, is
now in full swing. There are eight
tliousand delegates in attendance,
including over four hundred from
(‘.onndn. The grent feature of today
was the addresses delivered by
Dean Brown of Yale, and -Bishop
McConnell of Denver, Iboth of whom
spoke on the subject of Christianlz-
ing the national and international
life.
Dean Brown sold that the vict-
ory ofthe physical force has been,
but the victory of the mental force
has yet to be won`. We accepted
the war; we did not begin it :ind
Christianity did not prevent the
war, because we did not have
enough ol’ lt. and what we had was
not of the right kind. Today young
men and women are being called £0
save the world.
The great task of every nation is
the making of a nation oi' greater
national souls. The German Kospei
had worked the decay of the nut-
lonal soul. What the world stands
most in need of today is leaders
who will properly direct the npbull-
ding of the State In accordance
with the princlfples of Christianity.

Card to the Electors
Ladies and Gentlemen, Electors of the City
of Charlottetown; --
Not wishing to seem premature but
being convinced that there is no time like
~ the present, I take advantage of this oppor-
tiinitv of making known my position, re Civic
Politics.
I have been interviewed by many prom
inent citizens and believing them to be good
judges of the Civic pulse, after due con-
sideration I have decided to nominate as a
Candidate for Mayoralty honours at the
forth-coming Civic Election. '
My record for the past two years is an
open book. Ihave endeavoured to give to
I
the City my best and have tried to uphold
'the dignity of the office. Having had a most
strenuous two years, Iam of the opinion that
asecond term may be_in order.
Ifl have the honour to be re-elected, I
can assure you Ladies and Gentlemen, I shall
as before have the best interests of our City .
and Citizens at heart, ever endeavouring to
promote any and every feasible _measure that
may arise, whereby our City may be_ ben-
ifited.
I thank you most heartily for your sup-
port in the past and the many honours shown
me.
It is almost impossible for me to inter- I
