A searching Inquiry is To be made
into the causes Of the collision be-

is plain now that not all the possibili-

WO-WHEELED MANIACS.

Motorcycle speed demons seem To be

editorial reference in the News-Tri-

city:
There is vehicle that needs

This is the motorcycle. We do not

regard for other peoples nerves;
his whole sense of proportion

while Mr.. Lloyd George has follow
ed his predecessors in his system of
taxation, except that he has increased
the rate of income and super-tax and
death duties, so that the wealthy have
to pay the lions share, he has gone
TO other countries for some of his
ideas. His taxation of site values is
based on the law now in vogue in

from these investments was brought
home 10 be spent, the government. un-
der the old law, levied income tax on
it; that is, when the government could
discover il. But when the income was
re-invested abroad. the old law did
not touch il. Now Lloyd George says
all income of British subjects resident
i'm the United Kingdom must contrib
ute to the imperial revenue. These
foreign investments are estimated at
over a billion and half dollars. and
from this the chancellor hopes to Sc
cure S1,250,00O this year. and double
that amount next year The total in

and death duties this year will amount
to something like $4,O00,000.
Burden CT Taxation Decreases.
In spite of these Increases. Sir
George Parish, editor of The Statist
says the burden of taxation is much
smaller than it has been in modern
history In 1850, when the eXpendi-
ture came To $4,000, 900. it was rails
ed out of a national income of Ave
billion dollars. Now the national in
come reaches the enormous total of
81, 900, 100000 so ii can easily stand
the increased expenditure. Sir
George argues that England can bear
still greater increases in her budget.
