"The question is dealt with en-
tirely by the Council of the Rural
Municipality. The new act fixes the
limit to taxation for municipal pur-
poses at 10 mills on the dollar. 1t is
not expected that rate will be levied
to exceed $500 per 100 acres, and in
many cases the rate levied will not

with view to encourage the Gull

the speculative holding of large acre
ages, several important amendments
will be brought to the attention of the

recommendation that the present re-
fund of rs per cent of all taxes on
cultivated land be increased to so per

The Single Tax.

THE only taxes levied in the rura
districts of this province are those
levied on lands. No taxes are levied
on improvements or personal prop
erty. This method of assessment is
fair one and is satisfactory to the
farmers. In fact any change to a
system of taxation whereby improve
ments or personal property are as
sessed would strongly be opposed by
them. We have found no demand for
the tax system being changed so that
taxes would be levied on improve
ments and personal property"
Edmonton the most northernlv
city of the $4,000 class on the Ameri-
can continent. is not only successful
with the single tax system, but has
worked out satisfactorily plan of
municipal owned public utilities oper-
atIng street railways, water works,
and power plants. The municipality
has plans to install gas plant cost
ing $70O,0OOOO..
+ The City of Edmonton owns and
operates 40 miles of street railway
lines, water distributing system of
W miles of mains and an electric
power plant of $500 k. W.
Three hundred and fifty thousand
square yards of paving, estimated at a
cost of $l,25O,0OO.OO will be laid this
year AT the beginning of 1912 the
city had 2l7,42o square yards of paw
ing.
improvements in the next two wears
will amount to five million dollars.
The city owns two industrial sites
OF more than 24O acres in the southern
and nothern parts of the city, where
factory sites can be leased on long
terms on basis of 6 per cent on the
cost. THE BUSINESS TAX HAS
BEEN ABOLISHED. Electric light
and power and water for manufacture
ing purposes are sold at a minimum
cost.
The tax assessments this year will
amount to one hundred and twenty
three million dollars, exclusive of ex-
emptions, and it is anticipated that the
rate will be about IL mills on the dol
tar, as compared with 1877 mills in
1911.
1t would seem that they had solved
the problem of taxation as the system
encourages improvements and thrift
and makes the nonresident and spec.
nlator pay his just share. Idaho with
tins system would go forward by leaps
and bounds.

GIANTS GROOM PORTSIDER

Boston. OCT. 10.-Mc0raw took Mar
guard under his wing the moment the big
pitcher arrived at tho park. The Giants
manager knew that the Rube would need
constant encouragement in the coming
ordeal. Together they sat in a private
box at 1880 O'Clock quietly talking things
over. Marquard had on thick sweater
and did not appear to he nervous in the
slightest degree. He told McGraw that
his arm never felt stronger and that he
would show the same phenomenal speed
that enabled him to win nineteen straight
games in the early part OF tne National
League campaign.
McGraw. aware OF the fact that Mar
guard would be target for the noisy
rooters. warned him to pay no attention
to the crowd no matter what the. condi-
tions might be. When the Rube went
to the box to face the Red Sox for the first
time the crowd Immediately got busy
and thereafter whenever 1t seemed as il
Marquard was about to ascend the noise
was deafening.
Marquard's tremendous speed was In
evidence at once, and when he got away
with the first inning he was indebted to
Larry Doyle. who robbed Speaker Of what
looked like sure single with a splendid
one handed stop.
Herzog. who did much to keep Mar
guard on the ground. walked to the box
with him for the second inning and gave
him words of encouragement. The Sec
ond ball Marquard pitched to Lewis was
belted to centre for base hit. Instantly
the crowd leaped up. giving forth mighty
roar. Men with megaphones in the grand
stand shouted. you're going up. Rube.
Here's where we'll knock you out of the
box"

In Boston's half there was less STIR,
although Jake led of with a hit. He
had the cheek to try for second on a
short passed bail. Meyers's pretty throw
cut him down. The next play was
vastly spectacular. Wagner hacked
high fly to left which Murray mis-

do was to jump for the ball. This ne

he caught the ball and reached for the

and Il also shot past Devore. Lewis
dashed to third, where Speaker was
coaching. Speaker didn't see the ball
go past Devore and halted Lewis at
third. But when the latter saw where
the ball was he went on in. Stahl hit
to Marquard. who had his wits about
him, and with a good stop and throw
to Herzog caught Gardner at third.
Herzog and Gardner falling all over
each other.
Now there were two out and a man
on first and the outlook moro satlsfac-
tory for New York. Wagner nicked a
slow bounding ball to Fletcher. Fletcher
had to come in fast for the hit. but
he handled 1t smartly and let go with a
lightning throw to first. He was so
close to Merltle and the ball came so
swiftly that Merkle couldn't adjust his
hands for a good grip on the ball. As n
result he muffed. Henrikson. who was
running for Stahi. went to third on the
play. although Merkle's throw came
near getting him. In the tangled

He's quitting! He's afraid to put one

that were evidently heard by the Rube.
Speaker lodged cannons shot to escape
decapitation, and the ball. striking the
end of his bat, was fouled into the grand
stand. The next ball Marquard pitched
was scarcelyAdiscernible. 30 swiftly did
