Correspondent Says Great Britain Has No
Law Taxing Stock Sales.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: May claim the courtesy of a little of your
space for the clarihcation of subject that seems
to be of interest at the present time, namely the
bill for the taxation of stock transactions? / note
that Albany correspondents quote Governor Hig-
gins as saying that Great Britain has a similar
law yet London is something of a financial centre
/ think"
As matter of fact, Great Britain has no law
taxing stock sales but only stock transfers change
OF name on the books of the company quite diff
ferent thing. In a former communication / have
shown that the law taxing stock sales would bear
with undue severity upon class of citizens.
namely, the room traders; their individual taxes
running from 5000 to $4,000 per annum. OF course,
such a tax, IL made permanent, would be prohibit
tive; driving this class of exchange members out OF
business (thereby running the equilibrium and sta
biity OF the market for stocks driving the bus-
ness to exchanges now existent, be formed, in
other States
This proposed law is onerous than the War
to an unwarranted and unbearable extent and un-
der this law NeW-York must inevitably lose her
position OF being pre-emsnently the financial centre
of the Western Hemisphere. 1 venture TO predict
that the passage of this law will result in the
opening OF strong and well backed exchange for
Jersey City also the removal of the transfer offices
to that other State where this business
shall bear only it's fair share of taxation. Why not
introduce a bill imposing small occupation tax on
every person engaged In business for their own
account7 This would be just, and would raise the
amount OF revenue required.

DR.. OSLER'S MEANING.
Foundation for Success Must Be Laid Before
Forty Years.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: DIR. Osler seems to be receiving somewhat
unfair treatment from his critics What the doctor
probably meant that unless man had got
his start and had already laid the foundation for
his fame and fortune before reaching the age of
forty years. ne would stand comparatively small
chance OF making success OF life. This does not
mean that he could not continue to grow after the
age OF forty. and build large superstructure of
success upon the foundation already laid. Indeed
having begun his reputation, almost every
thing he said did would attract attention and
add TO his fame, when the very same words
acts the part of unknown man would
draw no attention at all. AS the late William NJ
EvaFts once observed: "Ir is not what is said, but
who says 1t, which makes the Importance of the
thing said"
On the other hand. the of forty who has
devoted years, as most men of that age have done,
TO certain routine in business, would, upon losing
his position stand poor chance when competing
in general utility with man of twenty-five Ex-
cept for comparatively few SpeCialtieS, which are
generally filed. the average employer would m
stnctivey turn to the aspirant of twenty-five, n
Osler appears to have stated what most people OF
experience must know Is true.
AS to men of sixty, | remember nearing the late
Roscoe Conkng usually so sure OF hInsel1l once
say that he did want to grow old FOR rear or
making some senseless blunder that would OBSCURE
But after all, it largely depends upon the indi-
yiduaI case and generalites are misleading.

Permit to differ from you in your statement
that the tide of American emigration to the Ca
madam Northwest has been stayed In 1902 and 1903
the emigration of Americans into Western Canada
was approximately 5000; the year before it had
been only 5000. In 1so3-'ei the number of Ameri-
cans finding homes in Western Canada about

Der will be 5000 6O000
Now that 1t has got good start, the American
invasion" Of Western Canada will not stop SO long
as there are millions of acres of free government
or cheap lands left in that country. The people of
the West of the United States have been seized
with a hunger for cheap land. The good cheap
lands In the prairie region of the United States
practically all taken. Desirable government land
is a thing of the past 1t was therefore perfectly
natural that the tide of emigration should be
diverted 10 Western Canada, where the things the
immigrant Is looking for-cheap and fertile lands
and the boundless opportunities of new country
are still in evidence. You recently expressed ths
situation well in an editorial in which stated:
- The development Of the Northwest since the 70s
invason,' since which time its growth has been by
leaps and bounds This American invasion was in
duced in the first place by the increasing pressure
upon the agricultural lands OF the United States

adventurous; the kind of men any country is glad

tention was directed to this movement outside of
Canada.
Interest throughout the western part of the
United States in the great development of Western
Canada, which is going on largely by the grace Of
American emigrants and capital, is now so keen
that there is now more prospect of stopping the
American invasion of Western Canada than there
was of stopping the invasion of Minnesota and the
Dakotas from the neighboTing States in the east

PAY FOR Ex-PRESIDENTs.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: There is still sufficient time perhaps before
the expiration of the present Congress to pro-
vide that the President of the United States. who
is ex-of1cio commander in chief, should receive
least the retired pay of general, s0,125 the
expiration of his term in the Office. The office is
engrossng in its demands upon it's incumbents
who are, perhaps, less able than formerly to give
time to private affairs. Though the word general
has not been confined strategists and taoticans
it would seem superfuous to bestow It upon ex-
commanders in chief. READER.
