Seven Passenger Cadillac for hire THE PROVINCIAL TAX SAIjK OK LAXt) Itossland Paper Says the Printing of (he List is itcitig "Farmed Out"��������� Taxpayers Kept in Dark. For some Lime it lias been known that a tax sale would be held soon of lands upon which taxes are owing to the provincial government, government agents everywhere being busy of late in arranging the lists for publication. It now appears that tha government is to play a sneaking trick en the property owners and' Vslip one over on 'em." Take Rossland for instance. How many Itossland property owners will know whether or not their lands are offered-for sale. The .publication' of the Rossland list has been farmed out-' to a paper Avhich we venture to say has not even a dozen readers in this section, and which is not published in this'district. The Daily Miner never as much as expended a postage stampjFin an endeavor to secure this business. The list properly belonged to the paper published in the district and in justice to the taxpayers should have been published in the Daily Miner, which is generally read, not only because the taxpayers would have been in a position to protect their interests, but also because the government would have had that publicity of the list which would have brought them the returns which an advertiser most desires���������if they desired this.

The business of raising war loans since then has been of increasing importance. The first domestic war loan, issued in November, 1915, was immediately successful, resulting in bank subscriptions of $25,000,000 and public subscriptions of $78,729,500 or. a total of $ J 13,729,500. This in face of an objective of but $50,00.0-,-" OOO/was'inost gratifying. ,"': The Second and Third Loan's.' ''���������������������������' By the following summer another, domestic loan was needed and a call .for $ LOO,00,000 brought in $20l,- 444,S00 of which $60,000,000 was from tho banks and the balance from the public. It will thus be seen that the part played by the public greatly increased in eacli new issue. -The greatest success was in November, 19l7i-'when tlie fourth loan was triumphantly floated. The request again ��������� was for $150,000,00 0 and all from the public, but the sub- scriutions amounted to $4 f 9,2S9,000 Thesintercst cf the public was demonstrated in remarkable degree for while there were 24,862 subscribers This French Official Photograph shows a crater produced by the terrific fire of (he French artillery.

Note the values for the different grades. Select stuff commands top prices. So mo B. C. growers are inclined to sack up all large and medium sized potatoes in tho same sack. Shapeless and oversized potatoes should not be included in fancy or extra fancy grades. We see some very rough, unshapely spuds coming here from Ashcroft, specimens of which if enlarged would resemble Indian Totem poles. Manitoba has a 10,000,000 bushel | crop. Saskatchewan and Alberta were badly frozen in many potato growing sections. Reports from Maritime Provinces tell of a good crop. Ontario will import from Manitoba this year. The reports from U.

No other object can be figured out of the manipulation, except it may be political trading. Ic appears also that the plan is general that the government is struggling hard' in manipulating matters that they may hold on in the general election, which is forecasted to be held next spring before the soldiers overseas can return and assert themselves in their determination to run affairs of state as they desire tli2fn to. be run after they have made the sacrifices they have in protecting their homes and the Dominion against greed. l It can be said that tlie Daily Miner is disappointed in not publishing the business. We know if there was any possible hocus-pocus by which the manipulators could keep the business away from this paper it would L-e done, but we are calling the attention of the people to tlie rank injustice of tlie matter which is so vastly important to everyone, especially those property and mine claim owners, who aro absent- from the city at prcsenr, who have intoreois hereabouts, may be engaged in mining or prospecting, but who take the home paper whilet hey are away that they may know what is going on here and that they may know what to do to protect their interests when such matters arise. Ask yourself if the square deal which was promised everyone when the politicians were casting about for votes is forthcoming. The Daily Miner has no fight with the government,, but when it does those things which demand that the taxpayers shall be warned, this paper will criticise, and when anything is undertaken in the interests of the people this to the first loan. 3 4,52 0 to the second and 40,800 to the third.

Into some features of the agricultural movement an increasing- amount of energy, of money, of preparatory education has been thrown and in a general way the amount of capital and intelligence applied to- agricultural production is being steadily increased. But if "back to the land" is to be a great and successful movement, exerting a large'influence upon our national activities and our j and a striving attci national well-being in years to come, there must be ^carried forward in Canada a great missionary work intended to change our national philosophy of life. At the present time too great a proportion of our people \.ant "the other people" to do their' farming for them. That is to say they know that greater agricultural production, the elevation ot agriculture to its proper place, is a sound and necessary movement if our na- tionariife is to be well rounded and harmonious, but as yet far too great a proportion of our people have in their inner minds a conscious or subconscious idea that people- other than themselves and their children ought to undertake the actual work of farm ing. At the moment it would appear that "back to the land" needs one treat thing in addition to the money iiii'l the education now being applied to l he movement, and that one great tiling is a change in our national pnilosophy of life, a lessening of our materialistic outlook, of our admiration for mere money success, of oar cesire for luxury and ease, of our ru-uggle to gain advantages which it is Hurriedly and mistakenly supposed \, ill bring happiness, contentment, or t:u; satisfaction or having striven (..ivnestly for things worth while. It is iiUile possible to place on the land a great many people who are unfit- tod by training and previous sur- io.mdings fo mak.3 for themselvos ar.y :nore than a oare existence by i.irming, and whose children will bo tjo likely to embrace the first opportunity to escape from conditions \ h:ch they regard as dull and oppres- i..-.'. It is possible, on the other Land, slowly but sureiy to do some- i.i.ng to check and to change those currents which hitherto have irresistibly drawn so many young people n-om the country to the ci'tiese,' and tc modify that training, that undcr- sianding of life and those false ideals v.hich have chained so many people t.j a mere existence in the cities and have committed their children to a similar existence. There arc those \.lio say that these currents and aspirations are too strong to be controlled, but to admit that they are would be to admit that a real "back to the land movement" is artificial i.ud hopeless. And it is not so. We shall not long keep an increasing number of our people on the farms unless they, and particularlly their children, are persuaded that they arc better off there; And they will not be so persuaded, or most of them will not; so long as a false and materialistic philosophy controls the national mind. The hope of a great change lies in the education and the example, in our schools and in our daily life, given to the children.

'In spite of a considerable increase in the money and in the study devoted to agriculture there still exists a great gr.h of misunderstanding be tween the people of the farm's and the people of the cities. That gulf must be bridged, instead of a sharper division between these classes ther-J is needed a, greater knowledge by each of the work, and of the deserts and the net earnings, and of the expenses of the other. By people who do not know, the farmer is charged with profits which he- does not make and sentiments which lie does not hold; and by many in the country districts the industrial classes and the city population generally are similarly misunderstood. All this is an obstacle equally to satisfactory de velopment in the country and the city The war has upset many price conditions, and has thrown our national life out of proportion. These abnormal conditions will not quickly vanish, but as they go the need for mutual understanding and respect a- mon;.? the people of Canada win the greater; for the period of reconstruction will be one of heavy difficulty. Men accustomed to war profits and war wages will not readily relinquish them. The national scale of living will have to be modified, and only leadership of the first order will suffice to carry us through that time of transition. "Back to the land-' is a great move meat, immensely important, worthy of support, and demanding careful study by all earnestly interested in the future of this nation. We must make it more than a phrase. We must put more than money into it. The greatest impetus the movement could have, looking to the future, would be a betterment of the national philosophy of life, the setting before our growing children cf sounder ideals, coinniitting an ever increasing number of them to pursuit of the things which really matter. "Back to the land" should be made a much greater and deeper movement than it is. To make it so and to give il permanent force and promise, we must plan to give it a grip upon the children, and in order that it may grip them, and justifiably, the movement must have that union of vision, and leadership and knowledge that will give the national thought and the national philosophy of life a sounder trend.

J3uf marvelous to relate, the notice advertising, the lands in arrears in this district is to be published in a paper that does not circulate ,in this dis- , trict. In fact, the publication selected is not a newspaper at all, but a society periodical published ' at Fernie by the^ Miners' Union for circulation among the miners only and whose circulation is principally in Alberta.- The money to be paid for the advertisement' might as well, be thrown into the Fernie coke ovens-, and burnt up. It is a political job, a deliberate robbery, a looting of the.treasury oi the people and it is believed to have been done for the sole purpose 61 saving, if possible, the Fernie seat .for the'goverriment.- ( A. I. Fisher, who was returned al ; the last election as an" independent- but who sold himself body and soul to the government, has been accused : of putting over this foul deed for the purposo of obtaining the iniluonco ol the miners' organ for the next campaign. Jt has been put up to him in this way. Mr. I'Msher, the man who would give $2f<00'of the public fund:* to an organ whoso chief business if \v- to carry on a l.lolshoviki prodeganda, is a damn traitor, and thou art the man.

II would not bo I (jo slrong if a, little word of three loiters-t hat'has been popularized by frniuent use in every pulpit in Christendom were placed before the wf;rd "damn." What (locs.il, mean? Nothing less than that the government lias decided to sell out the farmers in this dis;- trict without:even giving (.hem an opportunity of knowing that their property is up for sale. It means that the unfortunate farmer is to be put to sloe]) with a billy, and when he wakes up find that he has been robbed of his property. The least that the government could do would be to notify him in the same way that the government insists that a city corporation shrill ��������� notify all tho property ht.hlors within its jurisdictions siiali be notified that their property ifc lo be put up for sale by advertising the fact in a paper-published in and circulating within the limits of the corporation. But in this instance nothing of the kind is being done. Not one farmer in a hundred in this district will ever see he advertisement. This is a gross injustice to the farmers of this community. The sale in the first place should never have been held at this time. It is the hardest time in the history of the British Columbia farmer to make his living and raise money to "pay taxes. But the government must have the money even if it has to kill the goose that lays the golden egg in order to get it. Why does the government need the money? Because of its extravagance. Therewas to be a curtailment of expenditure in order to equalize the revenue of the provincial administration, but the late administration was only a kindergarten in the art of spending the public money when compared with the present aggregation of spendthrifts. The Liberals were horrified because Bowser had loaned the Pacific Great Eastern $6,000,0 0 0 out of the provincial treasury in-order to complete their undertaking. But when the Liberals got into power they appointed a commission to investigate the affaire' cf the company and when they discovered that their owi friends were involved and stood to prof.t they cancelled that great debt on payment by the company of one mM? on .dollars instead of six. If they needed the morey so badly, why go after the fawner and sell him out o." house and home for a paltry tax account and give minions to a bunch of grafters who were already gorged with the people's money. They were going-to reduce expenditures by cutting out special officers and commisisons, removing all the unnecessary commissions.

Arthur Gib hard was tho youngest Bon but one, of Mr. George Gibbard, Snr., one of Mission's real pioneers, and was in his twenty-third year. Me 'joined the 72.id Highlanders at Vancouver about three, years ago, leaving later for France, and saw much lighting. Previous fo getting his fatal wounds, later having his leg amputated, he spent leave In .England and had come back to the lighting line fresh from an excellent holiday, lie has two brothers, Fred and Charlie, in the fighting line in-Franco He was-one of. the promising young men of Mission City where he had made many friends before voluntarily accepting the responsibility of going to fight for his country, and his father and brothers will have the sympathy of the community.

It was quite a scrap; tell the boys I did not need the wheelbarrow thev used to talk about. Our artillery put up a barrage for us; it was sure some fireworks. I don't see how anything could possibly live under it. We were told to stand too, just before dawn, was very cold and I began to wonder what lay ahead ot us but once we got started I felt all right. It as sort of nerve getting for the artillery to start their barrage so that we could jump oif. The worst thing was the enemy machine gun-fire; it was pretty bad in places, Our company got quite a bit of it. There was not much chance to use the bayonet.

When jobbers receive quotations from individual shippers they seldom accept them without the "Jew act" or come back with a lower price. This is often done when the quotations are a little under the market. Jobbers know the hearts of the individual shipper. He knows they aro trying to save the overload charges of tlie Union and he usually bids for this amount or more-���������and often he gets it. We have no fault to find.with the jobber, but the multitude of the individual quotations is the lever placo in the jobbers' hands^by unorganized growers, that upsets* the market, often without cause.
