To help win the war , 1 would strive, I would struggle, I would sacâ€" rifice, I would give my time, my monâ€" cy, my energy, my son, my life erything. But when you ask me to give up my PARTY, it is too much!*‘ Unfortunately, this seems to be the attitude of many otherwise earnest and loyal men at this moment. There CV â€" of issues. The questions on which the old parties differed are not live issues at this moment. With the passing for the present of the issues, there may reasonably follow the passing for the present of the parties. The one great issue of toâ€"day is the winning of the vyar. On that great issue men can not divide on the old party lines, for the old parties had no such issue in view when they franred their â€" platforms. For the new issue there must be a new alignment. It is an easy thing to sacrifice the other fellow‘s party, but a sacrifice that will go no further than that will be as unjust as it will be useless. In the face of the national peril, it seems but logical and right that the oldâ€"line partiesâ€"with their policies that have no bearing on the one great issue, and their memberships that have no unanimity on the questions that now press for solution,â€"should pass for the moment. is an unreasonable fidelity to party names and party prejudices. One man is in a temper because he fears that his beloved Conservative party is to be basely and eunningly sacriâ€" ficed to make a Coalition Government. Another man is in a paniec because he dreads the death of his longâ€"loved Liberal party at the birth of a Natâ€" Organization for the winning of the war. The truth is that there is nothing to sacrifice but a word,â€"nothing to die but a name. Parties have no meaning except so far as they are a means for enforeing the settlement Toâ€"day there are new parties. The members of the one new party,â€"inâ€" cluding all those who are lukewarm. or worse, in regard to Canada‘s part in the war,â€"have shown, and â€" will continue to show, that they can stick bogether, work together, vote togethâ€" er. ~If those who take the other side of the question subdivide into _ two or more groups under names that now are meaningzless, then it cean â€" mean «€a is to be to : Another dreads | nothing else th lukewarm ones. parties toâ€"day, the Empnire‘s sake, there ca who would wi who would not ENQUIRY EXONERATES HON.

In add is to be Where does not Where does not W here does not Last week Hon. W. T. White, Minâ€" ister of Finance, introduced to the Dominion Parliament his new measâ€" ure for the taxation of incomes. The measure has been generally well reâ€" ceived as an indication that ** Monâ€" ey,"‘ as well as *‘ Men,""‘ is to be conâ€" seripted to a limited degree, at least, for the better prosecution of the war. Comparison of the new income tax and the former business tax which it will supersede shows that ‘*Big Busiâ€" ness"‘ escapes almost as before. This feature may be righted during the deâ€" bate. The provisions ¢f the new inâ€" come tax may be summarized as folâ€" low out Where income exceeds $6,000 and does not exceed $10,000, 2 per cent. Where income exceeds $10,000 and does not exceed $20,000, 5 per cent. Where income exceeds $20,000 and does not exceed $30,000, 8 per cent. Where income exceeeds $30,000 and does not exeeed $50,000, 10 per cent. Where income exceeeds $50,000 and does not exeeed $100,000, 15 per cent. Where income exceeds $100,000, 25 per cent. A tax of 4 per cent. on incomes exâ€" ceeding $3,000 in the ease of ecorporâ€" ations or joint stock companies. The plan will work out as follows: Income. _ Unmarried. _ Married. # 4,000 O$ _ 80 o# _ 40 5,000 120 80 7,000 220 180 10,000 40)() 360 12,000 550 510 15,000 S5P 810 20,000 1,300 1,260 30,000 2.500 24060 50,000 5,300 5,260 75,000 _ 10,050 _ 10,010 100,000 14,800 14.7060 150,000 20,300 29,200 200,000 _ 43,800 _ 43,760 (1) Canada‘s task is to organize her man power and resources for the winning of the war, including comâ€" pulsory military service, conseription of wealth, progressive income tax, inâ€" creased food production, control _ of profiteering, nationalization of munâ€" ition plants, national and â€" personal thrift and economy, ete. (2) It is essential that our troops be backed up by the needed reinforceâ€" ment, and that the Liberal party in Ontario should stand squarely _ for compulsory military service, and that no candidate should be supported who will not support this. (3) Sir R. Borden and his governâ€" ment have proved themselves unequal to these tasks. No other purely party vgovernment at the present time could deal with them. A war cabinet and vovernment representing both parties and the strong forees of the nation for the winning of the war is thereâ€" fore necessary. RUSSIAN WOMEN FOUGHT AFPTER MEN DESERTED A meeting of representative leadâ€" ing newspapermen of Ontario _ was held in Toronto last week and with only one dissenting voiee,â€"that of the editor of one of the smaller country weeklies, The Mitchell Recorder,â€"the following resolution was passed : The North Bay Times says:â€"‘*The Northern Volunteer Firemen‘s Anâ€" nual Tournament has been called off this year, partly owing to difficulty in arranging for special trains and partly because some of the brigades are indifferent.
