This is a tax which should be looked after closely_ in every municipality. Men who cen- joy all the modern improvements to be found in 'a town and pay a tax` of only $5 a year get off very easily as compared with_ householders whose tax bills will average considerably 1 over ten times that sum. e Henceforth the village of Thornton will hold an honored place with the apiarists of the world, West Bros. of that village having won the first prize V for the world's best honey at the an- nual show just held in England. For its size Thornton is one of the most progressive and attractive villages in Ontario and. is quite worthy of the sweet distinction West Bros. have brought to it by their splendid win in the world-wide honey competition. i A discouraging feature in connec- tion :with the plebiscite was the large unpolled vote. .In this county little more than sixty per cent. of those on the lists used" their franchise. Of these there were 2929 out of 7423 -in the South, 6305 out. of 18,043 in the East, 4820 `out of 12860 in the South and probably the official ,,9:- Vures for the West will show as high a proportion . - vvuau awn nuns 1'lg'D 01' Ian" to use it,` said a speaker/co the Trenton Canadian Club recently.

The wets got most of their majorities in the large centres ofpopulation and in Northern On- tario, in both of which the Act has not been properly enforced. The Sud- bury Star_ opposed the O.T.A. solely on this ground. In the great major- ity of `townships and small towns there was a stronger support given` I ..to the Act than before.
