(From Toronto Telhgram) It is two years this month since Spain entered on the Civil War, and the end seems to be still far off. In 24 months of fighting. "he gfins have all b:en on the side of the Insurgents. General Franco has conqusred the Bisâ€" cayan provinces, isolated Catalonia, and by cutting communications between Barcelona and Valencia, split Loyalist Spain into two separate parts. Heo has held Madrid under siege for 19 months and is now attempting to sever the capital from Valencia, so as to have it at his mercy. Against this the govâ€" ernment has made no acquisitions to count and its forces have been almost continuously on the defensive. The defensive is stout, however, and Franâ€" co‘s hopes of a quick victory following his swoop to the Mediterranean have ben badly disappointed. It is possible that the conflict may last anotherewinâ€" ter. and is now attempti capital from Valencia at his mercy.

Unusual Pictures â€"Funny Pictures â€"Pretty Pictures â€" Baby first shot w AS fin»d, Spain has been a source of danger to the world at large. Her strife has caused crisis after crisis in internationâ€" al affairs and not for a moment have the statesmen of Britain and France able toâ€"relax. <Time and again, if rash counsel had prevailed, the whole continent would have been set by the ears, and it was prudent statesmensmp that averted disaster on innumerable occasions. The danger is still great but there is a growing hope that the dreadâ€" ed crash may be avoided. The British plan for the evacuation of volunteers, approved by all nations represented on the nonâ€"intervention committee, has bsen accepted, with reservations, by the Loyalists, and it now remains to be seen what reply the Insurgents will give. Even if both approve, it will not mean that the plan can be quickly put into effect, ut the step that has been taken is one in the right direction, and the British government is ever on the lookout for an opportunity of mediaâ€" tion, a solution that may ultimately recommend itself to the warâ€"wearied forces of both sides.

FOR THE BEST PICTURE ENTERED IN THE ENTIRE CONTEST IS For the Best Picture Turned in From Now Until Next Thursday at 4 p.m. 3 Stores in Timmins This Week‘s Prize A $5.00 KODAK It has been argued that to restrict the municipal franchise to property owners is to contravene the democraâ€" tic principle of government to which we are committed;; that as all the people alike must be governed by the same laws, all should have an equal share in the making of those laws. This is true, and no one suggests taking away the vote from any one ‘as it affects Dominion or Provincial elections. Howâ€" ever, the Municipal Council is not a legislative body, but an administrative body. It makes no laws which affect Rcal estate in theory constitutes the ideal form of investment for the careâ€" ful man. Starting as it does, with a small down payment, and giving an everâ€"expanding equity as the mortgages are retired, it offers a powerful incenâ€" tive toward saving, equalled by nothing else. How aggravating it can be that after years of selfâ€"denial and painsâ€" taking thrift, after the mortgages have, with infinite satisfaction, been lifted, that they are replaced by an increasâ€" ing mjunicipal ax burden, placed there with smug complacency by those who never owned, and never intend to own, a foot of Canadian land. Politicians seeking votes have tried to solve the problem by shifting the taxes from one sort of property to anâ€" other, but with, of course, entirely negative results in so far as relieving un:smployment ar lessening overcrowdâ€" ing and slum conditions are concerned. The downtown property may be, and probably is, owned by an estate from which one hundred heirs each draw a trifle, while one man may, and often doss, own a hundred small houses and obtain exemplions upon every one. Housing Scheme Not Practical The Goveinment Housing Scheme is along similar unpractical lines. It is another horse from the same stable that foaled the National Railways, a politician‘s, not an economist‘s, way of dealing with the problem. Under these conditions can carpenâ€" ters and ibricklayers drive a good barâ€" gain with their employers and obtain fair wages for the exercise of their skill in the practice of their ancient craft, or must thsy take what pittance they can get with the alternative of going on relief, presenting to them a Hobâ€" son‘s choice? "The average man owns a house valuâ€" ed at $5,000, in which he has an equity of $2,000 and a mortgage of $3,000. On ; his $2,000 dollars he pays in taxes about $150 cach year. How many motor cars would be sold at $2,000 if the annual charge for the markets, instead of $10 was $150? You do not know, but the motor car salesman knows. Ask him what effect it would have upon the number of cars sold. He will toll you thrre would be few built and few sold if the tax on motor cars was in proâ€" portion to the tax on real estate. We would still use motor cars, but we would not use as many; we would have one to a family instead of several; we would double up; and that is what is taking place in houses today. People are livâ€" ng two and three families in a house built and intended to house only one, with consequent overcrowding, congesâ€" tion, slum conditions, directly and enâ€" tirely attributable to this uneconomic taxation of real estate. Many After One Job The unemployment in the building trades, brought about by the stagnaâ€" tion in building, goes much further and deeper than merely those artisans norâ€" mally employed in the building trades. Not only is it true that practically eviery material that goes into the conâ€" struction of houses is produced right hsre in Canada, giving employment to our own citizens, but the chronic unâ€" employment in the building trades has such a glut of unemployed, overhanging the labor market, and has forced members of the families of unâ€" employed artisans, formerly wellâ€"estabâ€" lished members of society, to seek whatever employment they con get, so that there are a dozen applicants for each position vacant. Under these conâ€" ditions are employers likely to raise wagses? In yesterday‘s Globe there was proâ€" Ininence given to a letter from Dr. Charlts Sheard, prominent in public life as well as a physician and surgeon. Dr. Sheard‘s letter is as follows:â€" Claims Thousands Taxed Out of Jobs One Way to Lose Houses. Suggestion for Better Representation of Taxâ€" paver. Cobalt, July 27.â€"William Johnson is quite a pleader. Last week when he came up charged with being intoxicatâ€" ed in charge of a car he pleaeded that he was not. He admitted that he had Game Warden E. W. Binkley, of New Liskeard who laid the charge told the court that he had visited the mill of accused company at South Gillies, and had found sawdust going into the river. It was still being blown in to some exâ€" tent, he also told the court from the that had been previously placed along the river bank. On behalf of the deâ€" fendant company, it was shown that they had made an effort, both last seaâ€" son and this, to overcome the nuisance, and that it had now been successfully combatted. Magistrate Gould registered a conâ€" viction and imposed the minimum fine, although he stated, that were the fine not paid, he would be at a loss how to proceed against dn estate. Taxation reaching the point of conâ€" fiscaticon is in practice communism, and while it may be possible for some to make out a case for the communistic system of government, surely no one would argue that the communistic sysâ€" tem and the free 2conomic system can exist side by side in the same country at the same time. That cock won‘t fight. Haileybury, July 27â€"Foliowing sevyâ€" eral adjournments in which it could not be exactly determined just who to proâ€" ceed against, Magistrate Gould on Friâ€" day disposed of a case against the Roch Francoeur estate, in which they were charged under the Game and Pisheries Act, with polluting the waters of the Montreal River with sawdust, to the detriment of the fish there. the conduct of any one. It is concern« ed with spending of public moneys, and these should be spent in accordance with the views of those who must pay them. There is no other way to get efficient and economical administraâ€" tion of civic affairs, and this is in no way contrary to the principles of Briâ€" tish democracy but is strictly in acâ€" cordance with its best traditions as we see them practised in the British Isles, Australia, South Africa and elsewhere throughout the British Empire, a surer and saferâ€"guide to follow than the starâ€" spangled pattern from which we are suffering in Canada today. Like Cat and Mice Conferring To ask a nonâ€"property owner to serve on a Municipal Council is like asking the cat to sit in at a meeting of a board composed of mice; or , to put it another way, to have members of Council reâ€" presenting tenants is like being asked to contribute to a charity by a canâ€" vasser when she herself contributes nothing, but merely seeks to point out to others wherein their duty lies. The papers may joke about the nrâ€" way tax rate, but it is a sorry joke to the carpenter who has been taxed out of his job, to the man who has been taxed out of his savings, or to the childâ€" ren who have been taxed out of their inheritance.
