Taxation In ENGLAND.

In England Prime Minister Asquith
is pushing a bill to increase the land
tax. In Great Britain nearly all the
land is owned by a few persons. The
number of tenants there is prodigious.
The land tax has not been increased
for a century. but i'm the meantime
taxes have been steadily piling ND
upon manufacturing plants and all
other branches of trade.
Mr.. Asquith's bill has not yet been
adopted but certain of the dukes are
preparing to retrench. For instance,
the Duke of Buccleugh, who owns
100000 acres in the United Kingdom.
and not unnaturally objects to a land
tax, has cut off nearly all of the an
nual subscriptions he has been max
ing to benevolent work on his
estates.
This is somewhat parallel to the ac-
ton of the Duke Of Westminster, who.
with an income Of over $4,000. 600. cut
off small annuities his family had
been making to aged laborers upon
his estate because the government.
under the old age pension scheme,
was willing to give the same men

Americans founded the first gov

ON a citizen soldiery to defend the
land and its institutions against for

were the first to abolish titular dis
tinotions and to deprive social emf
hence OF any support save character
or the consensus OF those who choose
to consider themselves as socially
elect. 1t was an American who in
vented the steamship. An American
invented telegraph. An American
invented the telephone. An Ameri
can invented the electric light. Ar
American invented the reaper which
makes it possible to feed the billion

was an American, too, who invented
the sewing machine. Americans also
were the conquerors of pain when
they discovered how, by the use OF
sulphuric ether, the tenderest human
nerve could be made insensible to the
surgeons steel.-Boston Globe.

influence on the crop. 1t is feared
that prices of sultanas this year will

To Prevent Stream Pollution.

Fish commissioners representing
the Federal government and the
States of Ohio, Pennsylvania and
West Virginia have just concluded a
conference at Pittsburg devoted to a
discussion of the best means of pre-.
venting the pollution of the waters of
the Ohio river. 1t was the consensus
OF opinion that the status of this
state are defective, but that the other
two have codes approaching the ideal.
AS result, an appeal is to be made
to the Ohio Legislature at the coming
session to enact new laws or amend
the old ones and bring them into har-
money with those of the other two.
Meanwhile an appeal is to be made to
congress for the enactment of meas
