NO WAR TAX ON
CANADIAN LANDS
UntruthfuI Reports Circulated by
Interested Parties.

Defaming neighbor at the expense
Of the truth does not help those who are
guilty of the practice, and 1t 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 so well
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 it they are
only arousing the curiosity of those
who read the statements and a triling
investigation will only reveal their un-
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 result of the
war tax on land imposed by the Cana
dian Government 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 confiscation."
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-hedged lie of this
kind has, of course, only short life,
and will tell in the end against those
who forge it and spread it, but, as a
Winnipeg paper points out, 1t is most
complimentary to the agricultural pos
sibilities of Western Canada to find
that rival farming propositions need
audacious mendacity of this descrip-
tion 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
a 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
ada form a grave problem. They are
making for poor communities, pool
schools and poor social and economic
conditions generally. BY having them
cultivated the owners as we'll as the
districts in which they are located
will benefit alike. 1t Is for this reason
that the Government has recently
asked the cooperation of the non-resi-
dents. The high price Of grain for
some years to come, and the general
splendid character of Western Canada
land will make the question well
worth Observation-Disclosures.

The hat is trimmed with narrow
faille ribbon cut in short lengths, with

lengths and they are sewed over cir

the preceding strip. A fan is made OF
overlapping strips with fine wire en-
cased in one edge of each strip for

part is plain deep yoke with the box

The last issue of the Vidette has
two letters that are somewhat en-

have good common sense ideas,

one of them is afflicted with non
progressiveness. Sorry they do
not sign their names.
1t is only a question of time
gentlemen of the opposite. 1t
must come and will be. The
sooner the better to save our
young people from leaving us and
going where they can more COM
pleteiy enjoy life.
Tishomingo is filling up with
bright young men and women, so
we must have better churches and
better roads to the churches. They
should have services every Sun
day, with sabbath schools, all of
which can be done if the people
will get out of the old ruts and put
on new glasses that they may see
the oncoming tide, which, if taken
at its flood, will lead us on to
greater things.
/ have not seen or read of any
thing fitting more completely the
argument regarding taxes than
that of your Paden correspondent,
and if what he states is true, then
indeed many should hang their
heads in shame, and ! am pre-
pared to believe it.
Now, Gentlemen. / do not pre-
tend to be anxious to have my
taxes increased. know they are
heavy and hard on a good many
people, but if you will read what
the Paden man says it ought to
open the eyes of many and if all
will do right in giving in their
taxable property, it will make it
easier on all. So let me say
again to my good old friends who
have written lengthy articles in
opposition. to look out for the
rising generation.
And without any reference what
ever to our present Board of
Supervisors or to any Candidate
for the honors of the office, would
insist on men of good business
ability, nor do / think it prop
er-to spring the question on the
canvass, as / think the matter is
not mature and that the masses
are thinking and should con-
slider the matter calmly, for as l
have already stated, the question
is growing fast, and will come.
Now, in closing, word to the
rising generation. May God bless
all of you, for you are. the hope of
the future, and remember this,
the basis of a successful life is
good character and a good charac-
has for its basis the Christian re-
ligion and that means Jesus Christ
and God our Father in all our af-
fairs of life.

The Theatre Ticket Again.

Evidently the economic reasons for
the existence Of the cut rate ticket
are so legitimate that the system Of
a varying price for theatre admission
is not to be abolished, whatever the
managers may say to the contrary.
The recent covenant between different
predOminating theatrical interests
failed completely. The result was
such n general restoration of the cut
rate ticket that all but eight city the.
atres now dispose Of their seats In
this way.
1t Is plain that the public refuses
to agree with the theory Of the mana
gers that every play Is worth the
same price. 1t has willingly fallen
In with the opinion Of those theatre
directors who are content when there
Is no disposition to pay the full price
to accept what the audiences consider
the evenings entertainment worth to
them. II Is true that all plays are
not worth the same price my more
than all books are. 1t would he con-
sidered injudicious for any publisher
to demand the same price for every
