He bad beon ili for more than a yoar and was warned nat ta resume bis parliamentary press duties but bie rofused, ta desent bis profession, whicb be bad follo*ed al bis if e. Mn. Cragg was woll known in the Bowmanville district for bis înterost imeagriculture and for the fact that bis mather, a member ef the Awde famiiy, was born near Salina. Ho was related ta the Pascoos but ho was raised in the Drayton district. Ho died in bis 43rd year. Confined ta bis bed mast o! tbe past year he spent bis convales- cence in writing a book 'Father an the Farm," which was pub- lisbed last fail and became im- mediateiy a best seller. It de- scribed farm life in Ontario since the turn of the century and was Packed with realism and humar. A porsonal fniend of the editor a! The Statesman, Mn.

And by non-taxpayers we mean all those who do flot contribute directly to the municipal coffers. To argue that these tenants of rooms, flats, leased bouses and se forth pay thein proper ahane of the municipality's upkeep in the form of rent is untenable. Rentai values are not adjusted upward on dawnwand in accordance with a rising or falling tax rate. In- stead, tbey are based under nor- mal conditions, on what a land- lord can get for bis houslng ac- commodation from a tenant who is otherwise satisfactory to hlm. Evidence o! this is that during the great depression neal estate taxa- tion steadily increased, due lange- ly to, the cost of relief, but rentaI values declined just as steadily. It is true that the rent a land- lord receives constitutes at least a part of his income, out of which taxes, maintenance, fine insurance and other expenses must be met. But the tenant is not responsible for any of these liabilities. Signs are flot lacking that the limit of taxation whicb real es- tate can bear is rapidly being ap- proiched, and the only solution seems to lie in bnoadening the base of municipal taxation. One way of accomplishing this is the establishment of a poîî tax, to be levied on ail adult residents who make no direct contribution ta municipal expenses. If there is anything inequitable about such a proposaI, we have yet to hear of its being presented for consid- eration. Further, we submit that in- stead of being a fiat sum, the pall tax should bo calculatod on a fix- ed assessment of the individual. The amount payable oach year wouid then fluctuato according ta the tax rate. Those who paid a poIl tax would then be less likely to vote for candidates ta public office who have a record of ex- travagance concerning the town's finances. Unfortunately the most con- scientiaus members of town caun- cil are nestricted in their efforts to keep taxes down ta a reason- able level. The council bas no control aven the school fax-rate, or the county levy. The amount needed is appropniated by the school trustees and county Coun- cil nespectively. AUl town counicil can do is devise ways and moans of raising the money. IN BOXPADS EN8<O ZR 7 WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT MUNICIPAL TAXES (Fart Erie Times-Review) For a great many yoans it bas been aur conviction that the pros- ont systom of municipal taxation in Ontario is an anachronism. By its aperation aimast the entire cost of aperating an incarporated town or cîty is ievied against the seg- ment o! its citizens which inciudes the owners of real pnaperty and its business cancorris. )?et a groat mrsopi PURE WHITE 30 FOR MOD '~~IrEDRLCHE fveryhocly Reads ClI55.ifs'edb JUDGES of everythlng consuit the classifieds, for learned as they are, they know best merchandise values when they see them booked ini the appropriate classified columns.
