Mr.. Johnston tells his story:
Ia my seven years residence in
saskatchewan, / have raised seven
/ good crops the value of this years
crop alone being Twenty thousand lioi-
lars. now own Two Sections of Inn
/ proved land, III horses and mules, 40
| cattle, large steam tAreshsr and n
| full line OF farm machinery"
1 We have made Eve trips To Kansas,
| one trip 70 the Pacific Coast and re-
tnrn. We have enjoyed the society OF
I a class OF people than whom none oet-
ter can he found. The climate is
healthful and invigoratsng. The soil
is fertile aud productive, we'll adapted
/ for the production Of the best quality
and large yields of all cereals and
vegetables, wild and tame grasses. II
/ is an excellent stock country
The question of taxes Is one that
1 carries with 1t considerable weight.
Coming from man like Mr.. Johnston
! the same weight should be given the
answer. He says:
The tax system especially aommenas
itself to me as being simple, reason
able and Just. All direct taxes nre
levied on the land st its appraised
t market value exclusive OF improve
/ ments thereon. No tax on personal
| property. This tends to discourage
I the holding of lands by spectators
who prevent its cultivation or improve
ment. hoping to realize profits from the
enhanced value of their holdings due
4 to the industrial activities of the bona
| fidc settlers. 1t tends TO encourage the
| settlers to rear substantial improve
ments upon their land without paying
| q penalty in the form of taxation
| therefor. 1t encourages the raising Of
live stock and the possession of other
personal property necessary to the de-
, veiopment OF the country
i The laws are well and economically
administered. Citizens of the Dornin-
lon vote on election of members of
PaAaa4neHS hLia LneHiDSfS OF the TT0-
vincial assembly, while on questions
OF local improvements and school mat
ters the franchise Is exercised by rate
payers, irrespective of citizenship.
1 The people are enterprising, school
facilities are good Taxation, just ard
reasonable Military service yolun-
tary. Patriotic feryor unsurpassed,
law and order the rule, and crime the
rare exception. 1t is the land Of
banks, schools. telephones. grain aie-
vators, broad, fertile acres. good eli
mate, good citizenship md Astounding
In opportunities for the industrious
man or woman of good morals, in
short. the land of promise and fulfill,
ment, I know of no better anywhere.'
