ONE RESULT OF UNJUST TAXA
TION.

1t is now fully understood that the
cause of the plague in India is directly
attributable to the poverty of the peo-
pie OF that scourge-stricken country
Filth and bad sanitary conditions are
always sure to accompany poverty in
all parts of the world. Among the
lower classes in India good sanitary
conditions are entirely ignored, so that
these people become an easy prey to
the so-called bubonic plague. Their
predisposition to this disease in the
first place has been caused by their
poverty, for which an examination into
the matter shows that the British Gov
ernment is directly responsible.
The cause of poverty in India is the
excessive taxation imposed on the
lower classes The British Govern
ment maintains an oppressive, and at
the same time unequal taxation
throughout that vast country, and
while 1t is continued, little improve
ment in the condition of the lower
classes can be expected. The tax on
salt for domestic use is alone enough
to keep these people poor. The price
of this necessity of life has been quad
rupled since the year 1900. Naturally
this has discouraged all industries in
which salt enters. The salt tax in
France was one of the forms of OPP
preston which led 10 the French revo-
luton
This is only one Of the causesof COM
plant which India has against Eng
lish rule, and a Congress which met in
Calcutta in December formulated the
grievances OF the poor people of India
in set of resolutions, which declared
among other things that the famine
which preceded the plague was due to
the great poverty OF the people, result
ing from the excessive taxation by the
British government.
This state of things has never before
been understood in this country, and
shows British greed in a new light, for
the government of India has always
been "a mystery to us, possessing as we
do very little knowledge of the habits
and tastes Of the semi-barbarous people
who inhabit that oriental part of the
globe. Now that we know this,
would it not be we'll to protest against
the inhumanity which civilized England
metes out to semi-civilized India? Eng
land has been free enough to protest
and criticise our shortcomings and for
the sake of humanity, If nothing else,
we should return the compliment re
garding India.
The only bright side of this picture
is that which has been developed
through the light of science. that the
dreaded plague cannot exist where
strict cleanliness is assured by good
sanitary regulations. Thus lesson
has been taught to the world of vast
Importance which enlightened commu-
mites are not likely to forget.

COOPERATIVE BANKS AND GOOD

Citations is alluded to in a very convinc-
ing manner and deserves to be read and
considered by all interested in the well

THE thing that the building and loan

porous citizenship-a citizenship that
shall feel they are part and parcel of
the government. The building of a
home is one Of the most important
parts of a young mans life. Young
people, when married, should never
board; and, If possible, should build
their own homes, because there comes
that Interviewing of ones being. ones

lived with Chief Hart ever since, and

and questioned the man, who

may have been sandbagged and robbed.
