Surtax on Unused Land.

The war and the hard times have
caused a very decided shrinkage in
both Dominion and Provincial rev.
enues. The revenue Of the Dominion
for the last six months Is less by over
$16.o0o,000 than the revenue for the
same period last year. This of course
was expected on account of the fall
Ing Oft in imports: But the provincial
revenues also have shrunk and our
legislatures are busy devising ways
and means Of meeting the decrease
by fresh =. taxes. Alberta finds itself
facing a revenue which has dimin-
ished: by $500. 0oe- or 100000 since
tho beginning Of the war. and some
way must be devised Of meeting this
falling off. But Alberta has about
20,0O0,0o0 acres Of unused land, and
the Provincial government purposes
to meet it, revenue shortage by 4
surtax upon this land. Two cents an
acre upon this great amount of un-
used land would bring in $500, 900.
while ten cents an acre would enrich
the government Golfers by 100000.
This bill to tax the wild lands
will mark an important departure in
methods of taxation in the province,
as it will be practically a fine upon
the holders Of such lands. Of course
the aim is to get rid, if possible, Of
the land speculator~ and place a pre-
MUM upon the work of the real
farmer. The single tax hit such spec
ulators pretty hard N the towns an
cities, and the surtax will hit him
just as hard in the country districts.
Judging from the present attitude Of
the public toward the matter it seems
probable that the. bill will pass the
Legislature without much difficulty.
Just what the result of such action
would be it is difficult to say, but
it is probable that it would tend to
place a good deal of land upon the
market at lower prices than are now
demanded. 1t would probably help
to eliminate the land speculator from
the province. From the older stand
ard of business ethics the proposed
action appears to be conf1scatory,
but from the newer standpoint 1t ap-
pears useful and even necessary

ETHICS OF LABOR.
UNION MOVEMENT
continued From Paxe rs a


strike without first having undertaken
to secure better conditions without a
strike. In all cases that have come
under my observation the union first
present their demands to the employ
ers and ask for a conference, in or
der to secure an adjustment, and
when the conference is conceded, a
settlement centrally follows without
strike; but when we are told there
is nothing to be considered we use
the only weapon we have, that Is. to
cease work; and what this has done
for the working people in the way of
real substantial benefit, can never be
computed. have watched with con-
siderable interest for a number of
years the work Of the teachers organ
izations Of our country, and in my
judgment of one thing above all 9TH
ers which their organizations lack is
that they do not stand for q minimum
wage for all teachers, below which
none shall work, and I suggest for
their consideration the advisabi1ity OF
!. initiating the trade unions in their de-
mand for living wage. '":--,
Our unions stand, with other classes
of our people, for free speech and
free press. Regarding the efforts of
some classics of our people to restrain
men and women from freely express
ing their views we know from q
knowledge Of humanity that such ef-
forts instead Of restraining that
which is hurtful, really promote it. If
men and women have ideas. and
through free speech they are permit
ted to give vent to them, they are
not so likely to express themselves in
some anarchistic way.
: Right is continually becoming more
and more universal. There is GER
tainly no reason why any one should
be pessimistic. :. Righteousness r does
prevail where iniquity formerly held
sway Men are Beginning to under

I maintain. however; that it's general
tendency is along the line OF real and
substantial nplift, and that real prog
ress. is being made in that direction
because OF the existence OF the mod
ern trade union. We are sure, that
the brotherhood of man is being pro-
noted by the work the unions are per-
forming, and that, some tiine, when the
history OF our day - written, trade
unions will be recognised as ethical
