When the conservative papers are inclined to be so abusive, and to de- preciate the adwinistration of Hon, Mr. Ross and his government, gener: ally, it is well to read what an in- dependent paper said when ap elec tion 'was not pending. The following extract is from the Toronto Telegram: "The financial eritics of the opposi- tion may go through the motions of an avtmek on the financial and ad ministrative records of the Ontario government, but their speeches are not likely to alter the general public belief that the record of. the liberal party in Ontario in these respects is, on the while, creditable.

"We want," said The Tory, hefore the election campaign began, "to show the people of Ontario that the conservative party is still capable of conceiving great ideas, still capable of engindoving great enterprises."

Last year, he said, the of Ontario, with assets of £218.000,000, were taxed $3470, ora tax of about one dollar on every 85.000 of the assets, or one-fifth of a mill on the dollar. A farmer with a farm gssessed at $5,500 would pay at least 350 of an assessment. Why should not the capitalist who has in vested his money in bank stock alo comribute something for maintaining the institutions of the country, well as the . ajriculturist ? The theory of government is that the bur len of taxation shoald rest mainly on the wealthier classes. Our banks pay usually a dividend of sight per on atu vent the-seeurity of -their investment ix largely owing to the contributions of the government in protecting pro perty and in developing the resources of the country.
