BULLDOGS SENDS.

Lieutenant, Sergeant. and
Two Officers Jump Fence
to Make Escape.

Slapstick comedy of the cinema
was faithfully reproduced in real
life. last night, when Lieutenant
Davis, Sergeant McQuade and Sec
ord precinct policemen ran for COW
er from a pursuing bull dog.
With their much-heralded intre-
pidity, the vice squad swooped down
on 4O1 Richardson street northwest,
AS they reached the second floor,
the bulldog made a leap for them.
/ McQuade, Lieutenant Ready, Po-
licemen C. d. Poole and Tom Sui

fence in the rear yard. Lieutenant
Davis secreted himself in one of
the rooms on the floor below. AS
the dog reached the yard, Lieu
tenant Davis came from his hiding
place and locked the rear door,.

and the particular feature of the
labor program which disturbed the
sensitive, was demand for q capital
levy for the purpose of substantially
reducing the British national war
debt. The party suggested def
niteIy earmarlSing funds thus raised
for cancelling outstanding Indebted
ness. Though open to criticism on
economic grounds, such a capital
levy would be less Objectionable
than one raised to meet current
expenses Of government.
Capital Levy Harmful.
The theory of scientific taxation
rests on taking share Of the In
come stream apd leaving the CAPT
tai fund alone. A levy on capital
itself destroys the source, and the
next time the government must
look elsewhere for its revenues, The

i device may succeed in Furnishing
wealth, but in a capitalistic society
such a process is likely TO have
unforeseen effects on commerce and
industry.
A mere suggestion Of the method
of taxation caused flight of CAPT
tai from Switzerland last year.
Being a minority government,
the labor party win be unable as
a practical matter, to authorize a
capital levy, SO that much of the
present fears are without solid foun-
dalton.
There are some intelligent oh
servers of the European spectacle
who look upon the advent Of labor
as a favorable develOpment-and
not merely for one class. The
problems of reconstruction over
seas call for fresh vision and orig
inal statesmanship, and it is not

Unquestionably- the occupancy

are seeking safety by transferring
funds to the United States. The
extent of the movement can, be
exaggerated, but bankers agree that
there has been a transfer of capital
westward across the Atlantic. Prob
ably the movement represents the
withdrawal of certain foreign de-
