increase to the owner tax free In ccun-
try whore land rarely is sold, It is difficult
to see how this tax would work a hard
ship.
As a matter of fact, the Missouri farm
would entirely escape taxation under the
Lloyd-George system, for all purely aEr-
cultural land, all land worth less than $3.50
an acre, all property occupied by the owner
as home, is excepted from taxation abso-
utely. In other words, the tax would be
levied only upon the landlord owners Of
rented property Of high value used for
other than agricultural purposes to which
the community has contributed generously
by increasing it's value, and from which,
under the old system, no taxes could be
collected. So much for the ,socialistic in
crement duty.
The second feature, the revision duty is a
tax OF 10 per cent upon the value OF the
benefit accruing to land owners. from Inn
provements made by the lessees, at the
expiration of leases of longer than twenty
one years duration. In England where

ings and other improvements worth thous-
ands and hundreds of thousands and even
millions of dollars, for which he was in no
way responsible. The government wants 10
per cent OF the increase in value Of his
property thus created.
The third feature is the tax ON undevel-
oped land, a direct tax OF a half-penny in
the pound, a trifle over 2 per cent, payable
annually; the land to be reassessed every
five years This is the only one of the land
taxes which is analogous to the general
practice OF state taxation In the United
States. Strange to say II was the most
Objectionable feature OF the entire Lloyd
George scheme. The landlords could
stomach an increment duty and reversion
duty, in which they were forced to give TO
the state a portion of the money earned
for them by the community. but they re-
garded as monstrous imposition the tax
alton Of theii idle land. 1t was blow
aimed directly at the heart of the British
aristocracy, for It meant a tax on the game
! preserves. The horrible suggestion was
made that it might force some of the game
/ preserves 10 be turned back to the vulgar
uses OF agriculture in order that the land
might come under the exceptions granted
TO farm lands.

taxes as much TO make large land holding
Improbable and therefore to force a divi-
sion OF estates as II did to raise revenues
In this respect IL may be said that the taxes
were not bona fide revenue measures, but
were aimed 20 break up. far as possible
the present land system. The tories made
the most OF the argument against this
abuse OF the taxing power. but In the same

Another term frequently on the lips OF deal

the consensus of opinion is that the mush-

Some say one, some say the other, and
the safe answer and the most correct is
that both will be worn. II seems likely

Service I'm BOer War Wins Rank of

An English woman, Mrs. Melina Rorke,
who holds a brilliant record of army field

Mrs. Rorke is visiting her son, who is

lish military circles she is called the Flor
ence Nightingale of the Boer War"
Her life has been picturesque While she
was born in England. she went to South
Africa at the age OF 10, and as she naively
puts IL:
Il was educated there in a convent and
climbed over a stone wall TO get married
when barely 10. i grew three and q half
inches taller after my marriage, and my
boy and l were cutting teeth at the same
time, for my last double ones did not come

Mrs Rorke graduated from the British
hospital, London, and obtained certificates
for the "NAuheim" treatment. She also
received diploma from the London OBJ
stetrical society, which is the highest given
in Europe for obstetrics, and entities her
to attach l.. o. s. to her signature.
When the South African war broke out
she had private institution of her own at
Bulawayo, but left It to follow the fortunes
| of the British forces.
The decoration OF the Royal Red Cross is
especially interesting from the fact that Il
exacts OF a holder that she shall always live
up to a high standard. When IL is pre-
scented a printed edict goes with 1t, specify
