It is, of courte, a budget--the red signifying war, the pure motives of Union Government, and' the blue the feeling the tax- payer experienges when he is called on.to foot the bill. It costs money to stick to 'one's colors these days. Se far as the debate goes in the House it is a gurious mixture of re- gignation and threatening. "Pinch us harder," says one orator after another. "Treat us rough and we'll love you, but remember as Soon as we get better stuff is off." The western members in particular will not down. They sizzle with suppressed wrath like a ecarboy of soda. '""rax while the s axing is good," they seem to say, "but don't forget that we have our own views on the public ownership of railways, free trade and the ab- sence of duty on agticultural 1m- plements." If they do not press their views mow it is becamse there is a tacit agreement between the two. parties pot to start anything this session.

This ideal party will be as far 'from socialism as it Is from Toryism. Ii has found a new and eloquent voice this session in Mr. Hume Croyn, of London, who Is a sound thinker on his merits and not simply because he is a nephew of the great Edward Blake. A matter of comment by the bud- got debaters has been that the pib- lic debt of Canada is now $150 a head a8 compared with $70 a Head for the United States, a far bigger and richer country. At present this fact is not viewed with alarm because Canada has great natural resources, still untapped, which ronder the potential wealth of this country equal to almost any ~ bur- .

Some day pretty soon our statesmen will have to get together and define clearly the zones of tasg- tion----where the Fedesal power stops, where the provincial power | begins, where the municipal power | comes in. There must be no un- | fair overlapping of income taxes. A good substitute for an income tax in cities would be a tax on busi- ness transactions such as they have in many European countries--a tax sealed according to the luxury or necessity of the article sold--a much smaller tax, that is to say, on a pair of shoes than on a box of candy, or a ticket to the theatre. In this way the people would pay a large part of their municipal taxes in their daily purchases and the gtranger in the towm, or the un- married wage-earmer, who has just as much use of the city conveniences as the substantisl householder, would not get off without paying mn has the full benefit of the city mar- ket, might very well pay octrol as they do in-Paris. The taxes on tea and coffec are accepted as a necessary evil and will be paid more cheerfully than the tax oh tobacco, which has a ten- dency to make the ten-cent ' cigar more hoMow-chested than ever. There is always the fear that the uplifters may get busy and tax the nicotine habit to death. This is the time for smokers to stand together if they would save the fragrant wded from further encr ts.

Judge Mgckenzie told the old, old story with a great deal of force and humor, but for some reason or other his fellow-members of Parliament did not follow up' Probably it was because Sir Joseph is a bank director and Parliament is very sen- sitive to overdrafts. -<H.
