A few days ago the Post-Intellisencer
said that the British government could
not longer ignore the fact that the United
States had a good grievance when 1t pro-
tested against the inadequacy of the seal
protection regulations. To this a cores
per dent at Victoria replies an follows:
1T does not cut any figure whether
the existing regulations are adequate or
not: that is no fault of the British gov
eminent. The matter was fairly submit
ted TO arbitration, and IL was decided by
that trib NAL that the existing regula-
tons should be for five years unless
voided by common agreement between
the British and United States gov
ernments. / submit that 1t is In ex-
ceedng bad taste on the part Of your
COY ernmeat to endeavor to induce Great
Britain by abuse, threats and rudeness
TO again take up the question until the
time as arranged by the Paris. tribunal
shall have lapsed. Your government
would strongly resent any such stand on
the part OF the British government we're
the shoe on the other foot"
II seemed to us and does still seem,
that 1t cuts very considerable figure
whether the existing regulations are ade-
quate or not The whole purpose OF
the convention and the agreement was
to provide adequate regulations. and II
experience has shown that they have fall
len short Of the intention of the two gov
ernments 1t would seem to be a states
manlike course to repair the defect as
quickly as possible.
1t Is true that the agreement was to
last for five years unless. however. as
our correspondent says, voided meantime
by common consent The United States
government. finding that the regulations
were inadequate. and that unless they
were amended ths seals might be ex-
terminated. asked the British govern
ment TO reopen the subject in order to
make complete the Intellectual effort of
the convention. 1t will not be much use

reasonable that the same principles
that pertain to taxation in general
should be observed. Equality In tax
alton is the theory Of the laws, but like
most theories It cannot always be car
ried out in practice. But between the
inequality in taxation that is inevitable
in practice, and tax that is deliber-
ately made discriminating or dispro-
portionate, there is world wide differ
ence; and the latter is the fault of the
tax law that was passed last fall. The
purpose Of the law may be good, but no
purpose can be 80 good as to justify an
inequality which shall subject the peo-
pie I" to exceptional and invidious ex-
actions, and to extortions in the name
of taxation" This is not the dictum
of Blackstone; nor is it the teaching OF
socialism. Nevertheless, 1t is good
sense, it is the law of the Constitution
and it condemns the inequitable and
socialistic provisions of the law which
has given rise to this agitation.
