CHANGE IN LIGENSE SYSTEM Chamber of Commerce Dep- utation Wait on Premier King Ottawa, June 26--Proposed changes in regulation respecting wholesalers' sale-tax licenses, to become effective June 30, were strom gly opposed an important delegation which waited on Premier King and mem- bers of the Cabinet this afternoon. Representatives were made on behalf of the Canadian Chamber of Com- merce, the Toronto Board of Trade and business interests from other cities, to the effect that cancellation of wholesalers' sales tax licenses would unnecessarily disturb the wholesale trade of the Dominion and cause serious hardship and loss to the great jority of wholesalers pres- ently holding these licenses. Similar representations previously have been made to Hon. W. D. Euler, Minister of National Revenue, whosc department collects the sales tax, but Mr. Euler promised no relief, and the business interests appealed to the whole Cabinet. Premier King told the deputation that the Minister of Nat- ional Revenue was not present be- cause he had already gone into the matter exhaustively. However, the Prime Minister promised to bring the deputation's arguments to the attention of the Cabinet Council with a view to seeing whether a reversal of the former decision would be war- ranted. He said Mr. Euler was the last man who would seek to cm- barrass the wholesale interests of the country, and his action was undoubt- edly based on what he conceived to be his public duty. The Premier promised particularly to take up with the Department of Justice the question of validity of a tax on: stock in the hands of the wholesaler when the sales tax license is cancelled, Chamber's Repr tati A petition to the Prime Minister from the Canadian Chamber of Com- merce, signed by Wm.

O. M. ALGER, Superintendent. Children's\Aid sales tax licenses, that it would have the business com- t that business was mot ace but retarded, through irritants "unwarrantable inter- ferences" of this mature, and, inas- much as the sales tax itself could be ¢ as a disappearing tax, it was thought the cancellation of the wholesalers' licenses should rather synchronize with the abolition of the sales a procedure which would leave undisturbed. Heard The arguments Mr. Birks and the er of Commerce were sup- ported | W. 8. Campbell of the ana General Electric Company, representing the Toronto Board of Trade, who spoke particularly of the tion against the wholesale trade. Under the system which is in operation today," said Mr. Camp- bell "neither the manufacturer nor the licensed wholesaler has any sales tax in his inventory of finished goods for sale. The result of this is that both are on an equality in approach- ing the same market. On the other hand, if the wholesalers' licenses are cancelled the equality of status will be completely elimiriated, because the manufacturer will still have his fin- ished stock on hand without any sales tax in the value of same, while the unlicensed wholesaler will carry an inventory in' which is included the amount of the tax. "The unlicensed wholesaler," pro- ceeded Mr, Campbell, "in competition with the manufacturer, may sell goods under the following conditions, namely: To fertilizer manufacturers, Provincial Governments, factory ex- pense consumable material, for in- corporation in export articles, and to licensed manufacturers for incorpora- tion in their manufactured products. "It naturally follows, and is per- fectly clear," he continued, "that the unlicensed wholesaler, who has al- ready paid the sales tax when he pur- chased his goods, is under an unfair and unreasonable handicap in ap- vas felt accelerated, petition with manufacturers and such wholesalers as retain their licenses." Mr. Campbell characterized the new proposal as discrimination in an ag- gravated form, and quoted legal opin- ions given by Toronto and Montreal counsel to the effect that certain of the proposals of the Minister of National Revenue are invalid and ul- tra vires. Mr, Campbell said an attempt was being made to collegt a tax from an unlicensed wholesaler for whigh there is no provision in the statute. The regulations as printed in Customs Memorandum on June 9, under Paragraph 3, direct that the wholesaler whose license has been cancelled shall take an inventory of his stock and compute the tax on same, and remit it to the Govern- ment in - six equal monthly instal- ments. This, the wholesale trade contends, is illegal, and the considered opinions 'of Toronto and Montreal legal firms are submitted in support of its contention.

Webber, postmaster, sald it was likely that the letter had been delivered to the wrong person in February of 1922, and that that person had evidently failed to remail the letter until a few days ago. Such instances were rare, Mr. Webber declared.

Ottawa, June 28.--The proposal fof congressman Albert Johnson head of the Congressional Commit- tee on Immigration at Washington that ultimately a quota law will have to be applied agaiast Canada is not viewed here with much alarm. It is not believed that such a pol- icy will ever be adopted but, if it is, it is claimed that the application of the quota law, based on condi- tions as they existed in 1890, would permit of an even greater number of Canadians going to the States than are going at present. According to the United States figures the Canadian movement to that country is declining. In 1924 the peak period, the number was 200,960, in 1925, 102,7"5. in 1926, 93,368 and in 1927, 84,5680. There is a disparity between Ca- nadian and United States figures as regards American immigration to Canada last year. The Canadian fig ures place the total at over 31,- 000 and those of the United States immigrants coming here. NO GUARANTEES IN RHINE EVACUATION Sir Austen Chamberlain Centre of Repartee in Commons London, June 28.--Sir Austen Chamberlain, Foreign Secretary, answering the Right Hon. Noel Buxton, (Lab. Norfolk) in the House of Commons yesterday after- noon said the British Government does not contemplate granting fur- ther guarantees in connection with the evacuation of the Rhineland. Capt. G. M. Garro-Jones (Lib. 8S. Hackney): 'After 10 years of oc- cupation, is it not time to evacu- ate?" Sir Austen Chamberlain: "Per- haps the hon. gentleman will con- sult his leader Lloyd George as tn why he put 15 years into the trea- ty." (Cheers and laughter.) SLOW-DRIVING MENACE (Detroit Saturday Night) Although it is fit and proper that war should he declared on fast moving motorists, one some- times wonders why there isn't more attack on another kind of road menace--the slow driver. It was Henry Ford who once told an interviewer that there was more danger from the motorist who drove badly and too slowly than from the competent motorist who drove rapidly. Often we think he was right. There are some motor- ists who, when they get in the line of traffic, do not hother keep- ing up with the car in front, which may be travelling around twenty- five or thirty mils per hour. This may he satisfactory for pleasure driving, but on the highways where trafic is heavy, it is pure selfish- ness, and too frequently results in other cars trying to get ahead of the dawdler, with cosequent dan- ger of accidents. The other day the president of the Ontario Motor League gave out an interview in which he show- ed how, by causing legitimate "eutting in," the loafing motor car is a real danger on main congest- ed highways; he suggested that motorists out for a slow drive in the country would get more satis- faction anfl safety on less-frequent- ed side roads. The experience In the United States and in England proves the truth of his statement, however startling it may seem to the uninitiated. On the main busy highways in those countries the traffic officers are {instructed to check up on the "snail drivers" too; it seems as though that method will have to be adopted on certain roads fn the Ottawa district.

CHILD IS DROWNED IN HUMBER RIVER Toronto, June 29--Within sight of his older brother, 10-year-old Billy Camplin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Reg- inald Camplin, 20 Silverthorn avenue, slipped into a deep hole in the Hum- ber River just below the Lambton Bridge and was drowned at noon yesterday. George Camplin, aged 14, a desperate effort to save his little brother and failing called for help. Fred and Frank Cornish, working in a near-by field, responded and too late. Doctors R. N. Richardson and E. W. Ellis, with the aid of a pulmoto brought by the Consumers' Ga Company emergency car, worked fol more than two hours over the body, but could get no response. Billy and George were wading, t river at this point being shallo with the exception of a deep hol just below a little falls. George said he heard his brother calling him and turning saw bi struggling. He was able to re him and get his arms around him, } said, but when they had almost got to the top of the falls, Billy slipped from his grasp and sank beneath the water. "It was deep there, over my head," said George, "and I did not dare go in after him" Then he called to the men working in the field. Coroner Dr. W. Butt investigated but decided that an inquest was un- necessary.

The Archbishop of Canterbury is without information regarding the Winchester manifesto, The only recourse in such a case is by process in Convocation simi= lar to impeachment in Parliament, since a hishop cannot be prosecute ed under the Act without the pere mission of the Bishop of the Dios cese, France is just taking up the use of electrical refrigerators.
