No WAR TAX ON
CANADIAN LANDS
Untruthfui Reports Circulated by
Interested Parties.

Defaming n neighbor at the expense
OF the truth does not help those who are
guilty OF the practice, and II may be
said that those spreading false re-
ports about Canadian lands, In the
hope that they may secure customers
for their own. will certainly fail OF
their purpose. False statements SO
maliciously circulated will sooner or
later be disproved. And, as In the
case Of the lands OF Western Canada,
the fertility OF which is now 30 we'll
known to people Of every state In the
United States, the folly OF this work
shows an exceeding short sighted
ness on the part of those guilty OF the
practice.
The present war has given some OF
these people the opportunity to exer.
else their art, but in doing 1t they are
only arousing the curiosity OF those
who read the statements and trifiing
investigation will only reveal their I'M
truthfulness.
A very foolish statement has re-
Gently appeared in a number OF pa
pers, reading In part as follows:-
1T is believed that as a result Of the
war tax on land imposed by the Cana
dian Government q number OF former
Dakota farmers who went to the Brit
ish Northwest will be compelled to re-
turn to the United States. Informa-
ton has been received that the tax
will amount to about $500 for each
farm OF 100 acres, which in the case
OF many of the former residents OF the
two Dakotas would practically amount
to conflscation."
To show that the public has doubt
ed, hundreds OF inquiries have been
made the Government at Ottawa,
Canada, only to bring out the most en-
phatic denial. A full-fedged lie of this
kind has, OF course, only a short life.
and will tell in the end against those
who forge It and spread II, but, as a
Winnipeg paper points out, II is most
complimentary to the agricultural pos
sibillties OF Western Canada to find
that rival farming propositions need
audaciouB mendacity OF this descrip-
ton to help them.
What is the TRUTH The Saskatche-
wan Government has authorized levy
OF $40 per quarter section on unculti-
waited lands owned by non-residents.
The Alberta Government has imposed
Provincial tax OF 10 mills on the as
sessed value of all uncultivated lands.
There are some special applications of
these taxes. but the main provisions
are as above. Those vacant lands
held by non-residents in Western Can.
AGA form grave problem. They are
making for poor communities, poor
schools and poor social and economic
conditions generally. BY having them
cultivated the owners as we'll as the
districts I'm which they are located
win benefit alike. II is for this reason
that the Government has recently
asked the cooperation OF the non-resi-
dents. The high price Of grain for
soTae years 20 come, and the general
splendid character OF Western Canada
land will make the question well

WINS
EDITORS $40

After week of diligent read
ing and hard study of the criti-
cisms of The Times embodied in
letters submitted for the editor 8
$40 prize, it has been decided that
the contribution of Mary R. VOL
iston, 1909 Mcbride street, should
be declared the winner.
Mrs. Tor is 1t Miss?) Woliston
wrote a clever argument for the
elimination of certain Times COM
les, which our readers will OBJ
serve already has been put into
effect, and suggested the addi-
ton of domestic science depart
ment along a somewhat new line
and of calendar to inform read
ers when and where entertain
ments are to be given.
Both of these latter innova-
lions We hope to attempt as soon
as We can get around to them.
Letters an Inspiration.
The dozens of letters which the
contest brought us have proved
genuine inspiration to the staff.
They demonstrate that The
Times is filling a large place in
the community life.
The reasons given for taking
The Times chiefly were these:
That its news is clean, condensed
and fearlessly printed, and that
its editorial policy is for the up
building of the community and
for obtaining a suare deal for all
persons.
1t seemed to be admitted on
all sides that the other three Ia
coma papers are of uniform type,
in that they all represent special
privilege, and that to obtain the
viewpoint of social fairness The
Times must be read.
A Paper With a Heart.
Another characteristic of The
Times frequently mentioned in
these letters was that 1t possesses
heart as we'll as head.
1t also was widely commented
on that, in addition to printing
the news of the day, The Times
supplements it with such able
editorial comment and illuminat-
ing special articles by such writ
ers as ellison Gardner, Roger Bab-
son and Herbert Quick, as to
make this paper a virtual neces-
sity to anyone desiring to under
stand the great changes in prog
ress in the world.
We were tossed bouquets with
out number and also given a good
many jolts. The latter only too
often, we are frank to admit, We
can understand we deserved.
Making Many Changes.
And We have taken a large
number of these criticisms to
heart. So much so that we have
put them into effect, or are
about to put them into effect.
For example, we are starting
today little department of labor
union news for which we found
there was demand.
And now we hope our readers
will not consider that, because
the contest is over, they no longer
are welcome to criticise us. They
are welcome to criticise, now and
always. We would like to hear
from any one of them whenever
he has a change to propose or
