A number of county conncili throuBh- out Ontario have forwarded petitions tu the Proviuclsl Govein<neat. asking that farm buildings in rural munisipalitiea be exHinpted from tHxation. The petition seta forth that such action would have a pronounced tendency towards securing the speedy improvement and occupation of vacant lands, and would encourage f tiinera tu improve and beautify their propel ty. It is the intention of the Government, The Globe reports, to submit the ijuestion to the special Legis- lative cumiuittee appointed to deal wiili a complete revision of the a.ssessnient act. This committee will probably be called together early in the autumn with a view to completing its work in lime for the Legislative season, which, by reason of thechangein the financial year of the Province, will meet next year eaily in January. Wellington County Council took no action iti regard to the matter, and we think it acted wi.sely. The present basis of taxation is in generil on the wealth that a man has, whether in tbu form of land, or buildings, or busines.s, or income. There is no more rea.son for exempting farm buildinus than there is for exuinpting town buildings. In both cases the value of the buildings is an index of the ability of the owner or tenant to pay. There are fairly good arguments in favor of putting all taxes on land, and if the plan were acnerally adopted, the idea might work ou": very well. But until the single tax is generally adopted, it Would be unfair ar.d unworkable to make it applicable to only rural districts. â€" Mt. Forest Confederate. China is suffering from serious drought and the Government has issued orders asking the princes to pray for rain. Mrs. O.scar Shaw, aged 7S. mother of W. H.
