A New Nation.

According to present indications
the southern portion of the continent
of Africa very much like Canada
For number of years England has
ruled the Transvaal, Cape Colony,
Orange River colony, Natal and Bechu-
analand by protectorate or otherwise.
Last month the people of Natal voted
by the referendum TO join with the
Transvaal, Cape Colony and the
Orange River Colony in the formation
of new confederation with a central
lied government, the constitution of
of which was submitted to the Bloem-
proposition has already been made
for the admission of southern Rhodesia
and it is not unreasonable to expect
that northern Rhodesia and Bechuana-
land will come in in the near future.
A peculiar feature of the new consti-
tuition is that in the case of future
transfer of native land the sale of in
toxicating liquors is prohibited.
The constitution will he submitted to
the government at London for ratifi-
cation and Immediately upon the favor
able action Of that body the parliament
of the new nation will be convoked
Thus is created one of the greatest of
Englands colonies and one of the
phere. This new nation is rich in agri-
cultural resources, in mines, water
power and in timber, The coalition
doubtless marks the real beginning in
British South African prosperity and
peace.

this purpose comes from Canada free

in the business in 1908 as compared
with 1907, the consumption OF imported
spruce pulp wood in 1908 was nearly
SO per cent more than in 1900 and 8 per
cent more than in 1905. Poplar has been
imported in small quantities only. The
report simply shows that manufac-

successful sooner or later. 1t may be
that the sawdust piles which failed to
yield alcohol or sugar may yield pulp.

An Income Tax Amendment.

The Senate celebrated the Fourth by
passing resolution for an amendment
OF the constitution SO as to provide for
an income tax based on other than
population. The consensus Of
opinion seems to be that the
House of Representatives will concur
and that this amendment will
then go before the state legislatures
for ratification or rejection. Men who
have favored an income tax predict
that the states win adopt the measure
without delay. Those opposed to an
income tax are equally sure that the
amendment will be defeated. In any
event it will be some time before the
legislatures of the 46 states will have
either adopted or rejected it,
Senator Root of New York is of the
opinion that the amendment will be
ratified and advances as an argument
this country does not at the present
time need this tax, yet the crises
might arise at any time when the right
to exercise such a power would be in
dispensible. There seems to be a
general belief among the politicians
that the people at large want an in
come tax and it is likely to be a
popular issue in the next campaign
The proponents of the income tax
have a tremendous advantage over
those opposed to the measure in that
they have an indefinite length of time
in which to persuade members of the
state legislatures of the justice of their
cause. If the measure is turned down
by one Legislature it is possible to
have that action reversed and the
amendment adopted at some succeed
ing session. In this way there is a
possibility that the country will be
treated to a continuous performance
by the income tax enthusiasts unless
was four years after the 18th amend
ment was passed by Congress before it
states to make it a part of the con-
stitution, two years in the case of the
14th amendment and two wears in the
case of the 18th amendment.
