50c PER
UP-DEBATE ON SIR THOMAS
:'8F!
FORMER MINISTER 0>F AGRICULTURE DECLARES THAT HE FOUND
HIMSELF IN OPPOSITION WITH HIS COLLEAGUES ON THE
TARIFF AND THAT TO RESIGN WAS THE ONLY HONORABLE
COURSE —OFFERS COUNTER-PROPOSALS — CALDER SAYS HE
WILL REMAIN WITH THE UNION GOVERNMENT UNTIL AFTER
DEMOBILIZATION   HAS  BEEN 'COMPLETED
OTTAWA,   June   ll.-^Members   of
, the    commons    who    anticipated    a
, livening   up   the   budget   debate   be-
! cause  Hon.   T.  A.  Crerar ami  Hon.
A.   Calder   wero   billed   to   speak
w.ijrc not disappointed  today.
Mr. Crerar explained that ho had
dropped out of tho government because he found himself in sharp opposition to his colleagues on the
financial policy, and tho only honorable course to pursue wns to tender
his resignation.
Mr. Calder, on the other hand,
maintained that until demobilization
is complete the tariff was not an
issue.
Mr. Crerar objected to the budget
because of its protectionist tendency, while Mr. Calder maintained
that ho would have been satisfied
had no tariff changes been announced
ibis- session. Ho agr.eod wilh Sir
Thorane "White's proposals lo have
tariff revision a little later on,
whorens Mr. Crerar was of the opinion that relief should bo given now
as a menus of helping production
and reducing the cost of living.
Tho ex-minister of agriculture suggested various means of raising the
revenue, including a tax on unimproved values of land, which he said
would pleld from 75 to 80 million
dollars per annum.
Fears  Dangerous Situation
Mr.   Calder   emphasized   tho   point
. that tho retirement of other Liberal-
Unionists   from   the   cabinet   would
precipitate a  political crisis'and asserted that, despite tbe. pleadings, and
even threats, of many of his friends
he    proposed    to    follow    his    own
counsel.   He intimated his belief that
when   the   principles  underlying   the
revision of the tariff became a mat*
tor of consideration by tbo cabinet,
the  timo may  havo arrived for  tho
retirement of the oi.her ministers of
tho government.   Closing, he express
ed   the  fear  that' a dangerous  situ
«tlon would bo  created if no effort
i.s made to romove the cleavage bo
tween east and west.
H, B. Dovlin Wrlgfit, who con
tinued tho debate in the afternoon,
urged the government to get after
the profiteers, while W. F. Cock-
ishtitV Brantford, at the evening sitting, criticized tho .finance minister
for having made reductions in the
tariff. The reduction in the duties
on agricultural implements had hit
Brantford worse than any other city
in Canada,  he  said.
Crerar's Speech
"I   ask   this   question/'   said   Mr.
Crerar.    "IC   our  manufacturers   can
export   $$7,900,000   worth   of  agricul
tural implements in one year into tbe
markets   of   ttie   world,   where   they
have to compete with overyono else,
wiiy cannot they' compete at home?
Why   must   taxes   to   the   extent   of
15,  25  and  30  per cent, on  agricul
tural implements be necessary when
our    implements    manufactured    in
Canada  have   been  able  to  compete
in the markets of the world?"
Cream Separators
Mr.   Crerar   instanced   tlie   cream
separators.    These  had  been  placed
oil tbe freo list,    But did thc manu
facturers   languish?
Instead of languishing, the manufacturers of cream separators had
gone ahead. There were now eleven
plants in Canada manufacturing
cream separators. Three of them
were manufacturing cream sopur
ators exclusively and were selling
Canadian separators In the- United
States in competition with the
United Slates manufacturers.
The tariff bore heavily on the cost
of living, Mr, Crerar argued. One of
the most effective means of striking
at the high cost of living today was
to do it through its custom tariff.
Why tiot do in Canada as was done
in tho United States and make boots
and shoes free  to the people?
He referred lo the instance in the
cpst of living. Jn 1914, he said, the
invoice price of a suit of clothes
coming from Englund was $10. The
duty on this amounted to $3. Adding profits of the various persons
Who handled tho "suit, it was ultimately sold for $112.50, In 1919, however, the invoice price of the same
suit was $25 nnd the duty had grown
to $8.75. Tho result of this was that
when nil profits were added the
wearor of the suit had paid more
than $58  for  it.
" ■ War Profits
Mr. Crerar went on lo call attention
to thc immense profits made by war
In-pteeted industries. The profits of
Ihp Dominion Textile company lost
year was $3,434,752. Was it necessary
to have a 30 per cent duty on textiles
*in .order that organizations like tlio
Dominion Textile company should
make huge profits? The manager of
the Canada Cement company hnd recently stated that his company would
place Us product In tbe markets of all
FORMER   GERMAN   LINER
RAMMED IN MID-ATLANTIC
NEW YORK, June 11. — The
steamship Grafwaldersee, a former
Gorman liner taken over by the
United States shipping board, was
rammed in latitude 40:16 north,
longitude 73:18 west, according to
a wireless messagee received here
tonight. The message said the
U. S. Patricia was standing by and
that it might be possible to save
the Grafwaldersee. It was said
that the steamship Redondo probably was the vessel which rammed
the Grafwaldersee.
the other countries in the world. If
this company was able to compete in
outside markets, why was it necessary
to havo a duty of 10 cents per hundred pounds on cement coming into
Canada. Other companies making
largo profits under the protective tar-
Tf were the Monarch Knitting company, Canadian Fairbanks-Morse company and the Canadian General Electric company. He had not picked out
these companies because he thought
they were exceptional. If these companies could make such handsome
profits why cnuld thero not be a reduction In the tariff on ihe goods
which they manufactured. If the tariff
was materially reduced, said Air.
Crerar, thc question arose as to how
revenue was to Bis made up. Three
methods woro suggested in tho platform of the Canadian Council of Agrl-
cullur The first was income, tax;
the second a graduated Inheritance
tax, and the third a direct tax on the
unimproved value nf land.
Income Taxes
He suggested that the income tax
should ho materially increased. Income taxes in Great Britain, Now Zealand, and also, ho thought, Australia,
wore much higher than in Canada.
As far as the inheritance tax went he
rtittte understood that the provinces
were collecting this tax. But provinces and municipalities in addition to
the federal government were Imposing
Income tuxes and he saw no reason
why the Dominion should not Impose
an inheritance lax.
The tax on unimproved value "of
land, he said, did not mean a land tax.
The idea underlying this propsul was
that values created by the. eommmun*
ity should he taken for thc community
It was estimated that a one' per cent
lax of this kind would raise a revenue
of 75 or 80 million.' Taxes should be
levied to bear, as lightly us possible on
necessities of lifo. He had no objection
to thc taxing uf luxuries. Thc financial policy of ihe Dominion, said .Mr.
Crerar, must, he thought, be modified,
in the light of the tremendous events
which wo had gom* through.
In closing he expressed the hope thnt
the people of Canada, like the soldier
who fought overseas, would realize
their obligations, and so shape their
efforts as to make. Canada the best
country in the world.
After Mr. Crerar had taken his seat,
J. A. Nasmith, East Peterborough,
asked him if Ihe removal of tho duties
on cream separators and binder twine
would reduce their cost.
"Thero is no doubt of that at all,"
said Mr. Crerar. "The question is elemental in Us simplicity so far as the
answer is concerned." (Laughter).
Calder Replies
Hon. G. A. Calder, in rising to reply,
complimented Sir Thomas White on
his budget statement. There had been
no attempt at concealment. The finance minister had been anxious to tell
thje truth and the whole truth, und tho
house was indebted to him for the skill
with which he marshalled his facts.
Mr. Calder did not consider tho situation demanding a long speech.
Ho intended, he said, to support thc
finance minister's financial and tariff
proposals, and it was not necessary io
Justify this course with extensive arguments.
Turning to the speech made by Mr.
Crerar, Mr. Calder said thut his former colleague* had set forth his views
clearly and honestly, and that he,
least of anyone, should quarrel with
him. Each minister must determine
for himself on this occasion what his
course of action will be
No Other Course Open
"Taking into account all considerations," said Mr. Calder, "I have come
to the conclusion that there Is no uther
course open to me but to support the
budget and I can do that. wilhou hacrl-
ficing any principles that I may hold,
or my views on tlie tariff. I can do so
without prejudice to the Interests of
the province from which I come or tn
tho constituency I represent."
Mr. Calder then referred to the conferences ot 1017 leading to Ihe formation of the Union government. At the
conferences, ho said, decisions had to
he reached Involving far reaching consequences. No one approached these
problems with greater soribusness than
did Mr. Crerar and his decision was
largely Instrumental in bringing about
the results  achieved.
Mr. Calder remarked that the government had made mistakes. A government that had not in such times as
those made mistakes would not bo
worthy of being a government,

it would tako his whole staff six days
to do tho work.
Finally, Mr. Cox underlook to do bis
best to havo the figures available for
the committee by Wednesday next.
Tho witness bad previously explained
that when an undischarged soldier Is

from his pay, and when ho Is discharged, the department sllll has recourse to thc soldier's war service
gratuity.
Over-payments woro first discovered
as the result of the Inquiry hold in
1917. Thoy are due In most cases to
overlapping of payments In England
and Canada, which could not always

Mr. S. W. Jacobs asked the witnoss
f it was so that pensions had been
paid to tho relatives of soldiers believed,to bo dead and they had turned
up safe and sound.
Mr. Cox said he had heard of only
one ease of that kind. To Mr. Parent,
the witness stated that over $40,000}
nver-paynicnt has so far boon recovered from the war service gratuity fund.

FOE TO RECEIVE
REPLY TOMORROW
Distinct    Progress    Is    Reported    at
Paris—Changes Aro Largely
Explanations.
PARIS, June 11,—Distinct progress
was reported tonight un tho 'reply of
the allied and assuciated governments
tn thc German counter proposals, and
instructions that lho reply will be
ready for delivery on Friday.
j The Germans will be given five days'
limit for final action, which would
therefore be on or before June Iii.
Tiie main feature of this progress
was an agreement, regarding the reparation terms, which have been Ihe
subject ul' a sharp controversy during
tbe past ten days. As finally adopted, the terms do not fix the definite
amount of reparations, but the commission is required to fix the amounl
within four months of the signing of
the treaty.
Mainly  Explanations.
Tho main changes are explanations,
rcther than modifications, in order tn
meet tbo contention that tho financial
committee was vexatious, inquisitorial
and infringed Germany's rights to conduct her own financial affairs. Tbe
revised terms clear away much that
was open to the construction nf being
vexatious.
Final action on Germany's request
for admission tu the league nf nations bus not yet been readied, but
the decision is declared to bo tending
toward an accord.
The Silesian question, which has
given difficulty, also has virtually heen
settled. It Is practically certain that
the revised treaty will not bo submitted to a preliminary conference with
the smaller  powers  before   tiie   reply
is sent tn thu Germans,
Revised treaty and memorandum nc-
enmpanying the treaty will be sent lo

social   unrest   was   presented   by   Rev.
W. It.  Boss, ol Halifax.    Il reads;
In view of the fact that the rights
of the entire community are imperilled
by sympathetic strikes, the general
iHsembly urges Ihe government to at
once pl'Otfjde machinery for the adjustment ofcihe differences and misunderstandings between employers and employees, nnd for the rights of all classes
in the community. The assembly commends the government for the appointment of the Mathers commission and
urges further investigations into the
causes of present unrest nnd immediate action tn remove them as far as
they can be reached by power vested
In parliament, and by preventing profiteering and removing any other arti-
lal causes of the high cost of living."
Tho above resolution will .be discussed this evening. It wns merely
presented this morning.
Mr. Ross also road resolutions commending the government for its repatriation work, abolishing of the bar
and race track'gambling, and warning
tbo people against attempts to restore
the liquor traffic. Places of rest and
refreshment were advocated.
Dr. A. o. McRae, ot Calgary, look
exception to several clauses in tlie
social unrest resolution. The governments iff Ihe country, he asserted, had
utterly failed tn measure up to tbe
requirements of the workers. The
government must deal with the question or get out. Many returned men

COST OF  LIVING
OTTAWA. .lune 11. —A telegram
from Mayor Black, of Iteglnn, wns
received by the cost of living committee of the commons this morning.
The mayor stated that a public
meeting held last night was unnni-
fnous In desiring tn co-nperate with
the   ] arliamentary  committee.
Chairman Nicholson announced that
the department ot justice had found
Itself unable to release W. F. O'Connor, K.C.. the former cost of living
commissioner, to act as counsel for
the  committee.
James Douglas favored the ap
polntment nf counsel. He said it
struck him ns an outrageous price
when Mr. Matthews stated yesterday
it cost him ¥25,ooo to turn over
1160,000 worth ot business. , A com
petent lawyer should be engaged s<
that such a statement could be sifted
down. (
Mr. Davis' motion to have counsel
was lost. E. C. Drury and W. C
Good were representing the United
Farmers of Ontario.
Mr. Oood said lie had lien in the bus
iness of making butter for five years
nnd got nut on account of the scarcity
nf labor, lie would not be tempted to
to into the dairy business again with
butter fat at fifty cents per pound,
or even at 75 cents, lie said that ii
his   district   of   Brant   there   was   i
irked movement amongst the farm
ers   away   from   dairying.    He   purchased   his   hntter   In   Brantford
sixty   cents.     Farmers'    butter   was
55 cents.
The witness said in his case, lt
was more profitable to keep to grain
beef, pork and fruit. He had cut
out poultry and dairying and to some
extent pork and beef.
A large consideration with him was
save work for the women  folk,

GERMAN   NEWSPAPER  SEES
A  TERRIBLE   FATE   AHEAD
BERLIN, June 11 (Reuter).—A terrible picture of the fate awaiting
Germany unless she signs the peace
treaty i.s drawn by the Vossiche
Zeltung, which prophesies that:
"Tho allies will in any case occupy
more of the west German industrial
region. The Poles will attack us in
the east. In a short time trains will
cease to run owing to lack of coal.
Our towns will be without gas, food
and electricity, and we will be unable
to thresh the new crop except witli
the flail. Our industries will cease
owing to lack of raw materials. In
short, the life of the whole nation
will come to a standstill and collapse."
The. journal further pictures soviet
republics being established all over
Germany with Berlin as a soviet
republic. It finally begs all who are
opposed lo signature of the peace
treaty lo reconsider the question In
tbe lighl  of these possibilities.

EDMONTON, June 11.—The murdered bodies of Frank Lawrence
Sharp, an American of Omaha, and
Joe Klgalado, a. Mexican halfbreed,
have been found in the fastnesses
of the Rpcky Mountains 17 miles
west of Hudsons Hon. The dead
bodies of the men were found by
MeDougall's men cutting a trail into,
the region where copper claims have
heen located, One body had seven
bullet holes in in and the other slfx.
Guns lay by cither body and empty
shells around. Sharp and Nlgahtdo
passed through Peace River early in
March en route to lludsons Hope,
to prospect for and locate copper
claims for a ■ syndicate, They were
heard from in April, saying they
were ten days ahead of any other
party. P-oul play is suspected, as it
Is known that rival parties are com
petlng for locations. Valuable minora)
claims are said to exist in the Hope
region.
VAMPIRE WANTS A JOB.
Recently the L, P. Ross Shoe com
pflh'y inserted an advertisement in .i

who signed herself Miss Mabelie Jones
and. gave, her address as General Delivery, Rochester. Thc letter said In
part: #
"Gentlemen: I have seen your ad
for vampires and close-ups and ]
would like the Job. I have been studying to vamp for several years and
have been practising eye work for n
long while. My gentlemen friends tell
me that I have the other movie vamps
hacked off the map. 1 hove made a

don't know much about close,-ups, hut
suppose I could learn. I have a good
form, swell brown eyes, and a fine
complexion.
"If you" would like, I will call und
show  what  I  can  do.    I  have  been
loking for a  vampire job, but never
srtw no ads in the papers before.

TOKIO, Japan,—Referring to tbe
formation of a new syndicate hy American, British, French and Javanese
bankers for tbe purpose of undertaking loans for China, Baron Takahashi,
minister of finance, is ipiotcd as follows:
"Tbe representatives of the American, British, French and.,. Japanese
bankers are now holding conference
at Paris for the purpose of forming a
new syndicate to undertake loans for
China, and It is expected that the task
will become an accomplished face before long. Hitherto there has been
keen competition among tbe bankers
of various countries for investments ln
China, with tbe result that not Infrequently unpleasant relations were
occasioned among them. The fact is
that something like special spheres of
influence have been net up by the different countries and they object, for
instance, that a railway, the concession
of which may have been obtained by
another country, should be built within
the territory whieh they regard as
their preserves.
"As Ibis state of affairs is disastrous
not only to China but also to tho pow-
rs concerned, a proposal was brought
forward by America about this time
last year for the establishment of a
syndicate by the capitalists of tbe four
powers for investment in China so that
unnecessary competition and friction
might   be   eliminated.
British Bankers Balked
In doing this, however, the Inability
of the British government to exercise
control over the British bankers proved to be an obstacle that threatened to
wreck tlie proposed scheme, In the
past the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank
has almost exclusively been undertaking Investmene In China und there
have also been something like thirty-
one Australian banks in the market
ompetlng for Chinese investments.
Lately, however, an urangirnent has
been effected among the British bankers for th formation of a syndicate
among themselves for the purpose of
such investment. In this way the obstacle to the four-power syndicate has
been removed, and as. all the governments concerned expressed their readiness to approve the American proposal the conference of the representatives
of the bankers is now in session in
Paris for the arrangement of eces-
sary particulars.
For  Government  Loans  Only
"As regards the scope of Investment to be undertaken by the proposed syndicate it is understood that
all loans to he issued or guaranteed
by tlie Chi* ese government will be undertaken by tlie syndicate, while private loans of an industrial and other
nature, will be left to the free competition of tbe bankers of all countries
as in the past. The new syndicate will
not interfere with the loans already in
existence, but ns to those loan contracts which have not yet b.'en currLd
into execution, they Will be succeeded
to and undertaken by tho new syndicate.
"It Is not true, however, tbat the
syndicate is to be organized, as has
been reported, with tlie ob.'ect of undertaking a new loan for $2Cu,000,COO,
whieh the Chinese government Is said
to he anxious to raise, as it Is tho intention of tbe powers not to advance
money lo China until peace shall have
been completely restored in the country, i\& the supplying of funds under
extistlng conditions may have the effect of prolonging thc strife, instead of
terminating it.
"With regard to the Kirin-Hainirg
railway loan, negotiations are now going on between the Industrial B nk
of Japan and the Chinese govenmsnt
for the conclusion of a foim.il contract/
while as to the Manehuria-Mongolla
and Shantung railway loans the conclusion of formal contracts will t'.'ke
place beforo long."      »
Some Points at Issue
In. regard to the extent of the investments to be made in China by the newly organized Quadruple Syndicate,
which is being" now discussed at the
preparatory meeting of the promoters
of the syndicate at Paris, Mr. Hiji-
kata, president of the Industrial Bank,
is reported as having stated that America desires to furnish thc whole amount of the loans, inclusive of political
and economic lonns. This covers rather too wide a field, nnd is liable to
raise objection on the part of Japan,
Great Britain and France, while to restrict the American share to political
loans alone would be not only contrary
to the development of industries In
China but would reduce the sphere
of investment so narrow as to he Inac-
ceptable to America.
lt is likely that America may come
to agree to furnish political loans together with railway and mining loans.
It also appears that America wishes to

transfer all the loans already executed to the new syndicate, but as this
would be detrimental to the vested
rights, the proposal would not be accepted by the three powers. The question might be settled by the limiting
the application of the pioposnl to till
the lor.ns which have been concluded
but not yet executed.

NEW  YORK, June 11.—More con-

stock exchange. Rates for call loann
were again raised to A per cent, following  a   simllai* advance  yesterday.
Lacking the force of public buying
md with pool operations necessarily
largely curtailed, In view of the attitude of the banking Interests, who
ire., not entirely in sympathy with operations of some of the active big
combinations, thc market's technical
condition wus ripe lor further decline.
This occurred In the early hours, when
breaks of 3 to ti points were made in
a variety of stocks, including General
Motors, St tide baker, Texas Company,
Industrial Alcohol and Mexican Petroleum.
United States Steel was also carried
down about 2 points to 106%! and
sharp Inroads, weer made on the prices
of some of the investment rails. Consistent strength was shown by tho
tobacco group, and this eventually developed into a buying upturn which
had an effect on the balance of tho
list.' Buj'ing of the tobacco shares
was 'favored as yesterday by the
formation of a new company, whose
operations arc to bo world wide.

A temperance orator was ih the
habit of holding forth in a workman's

Tho next time he lectured iu that,
hall he engaged a prize fighter to sit
in the gallery and keep order. He was
contrasting the clean content of home
life with the squalor of drunkenness.
"What do ye want when we. return'home from our daily toil?" lie
asked. ■ ''What do we desire to ease,
our burdens, to gladden our hearts, to
bring smiles to our lips, and joy to
our eyes?"
As tho orator paused for brcutli tho
prize fighter shook his fist at the unruly members of the gallery and whispered ln a loud undertone:

THE PROLETARIAN   AUTOCRACY
AND IT8 CONSTITUTION.
Thero are a lot ot points- about-..the
sovlet|bonstltutlon which are well understood. There are some which are
Isbs well known. Their general effect
is seen in Russia.
A translation of the Russian official text shows that some of the
clauses are as follows:
Article 1, section 2, clause 3a.
For the purpose of realizing tho
socialisation of all land, all private^ property in land is abolished
* .* '•
'.'"Article 1, section 2, clauso 3b.
All forests • * • all implements,
whether animate or Inanimate,
model farms and agricultural enterprises, are declared to be national property.
Also, the constitution in the noxt
succeeding clauses to the above specifies complete transfer of ownership
to the state of all factories, mills,
mines, railways, water rights and
banks.
Conscription is stipulated in the following clauses of the Bolshevik constitution:
Article 1, section 2, clause  3g.
• * • it i. decreed thut ull tollers
**bo armed, and that u Socialist Red
array be organized.
Article 2, clauso 19. • • • Tho
Russian Socialist Federated Soviet republic recognizes the duty
of all citizens of the republic to
como to thc defence of their Socialist fatherland, und it, therefore, introduces universal military
training.
The words "all citizens" in thc abovo
are qualified by a succeeding paragraph that tho "non-tollers" ahall not
get arm^hey^ftlW'-'civaVgod with
tho 'performance of other military
duties."     ■
Similarly, the "non-toilers'*''aro not
to have votes.   The franchise is the
privilege of thc following only:
Article 4, clauso 61a. * * * .Laborers and employees of all classes
who  are  employed   in   industry,
trade, agriculture, etc., and peasants wno employ nq help for the
purpose of muking profits.
"64b.   Soldiers of thc army and
navy of thc Soviets
Certain classes are specifically forbidden   votes,  as   below.     Curiously
enough, nothing is said in tho constitution us to. the voting status of professional men—lawyers, doctors, etc.—
except, of. course, those who "employ
hired labor."
Article  4,  cluuse  65.    Tho fol-
' lowing persons enjoy neither tho
.' right to vote, nor thc right to be ■
voted'for;
■ (a) - Persons who employ hired
labor in order to obtain profits
from lt.
(b) PersonB who have -mi income without doing work.
(c) Merchants, storekeepers,
trade and commercial brokers.
"(d) Clergy of all denominations.
These are some of thc clauses which
provide for thc establishment   ot   a
proletarian   autocracy   in   place   of
. democracy.   Only thc proletarians, as
- they call themselves, are permitted to
vote,' it will be noted.
sert that It has adopted a new method
with respect to treaties and other International engagements, an American
writer points out Imperial Germany
when it fell to pieces was bankrupt
in honor, but the German republic, Bo
called, does not find fault with the
departed Hohenzpllern crowd on that
score. The* nations now In alliance
cannot accept Germany Into their
company as a partner in the maintenance of the peace of the world until it proves itself trustworthy, and it
shows no disposition- - whatever to
prove its trustworthiness. Thc nations in alliance, whether Germany
signs tho treaty or not must maintain
a vigilant guard over Germany to
guarantee the fulfillment of its. peace
terms. Tho signing of the treaty is
not the end, for Germany herself has
taught us that her signature to a
treaty is not first-class collateral.
Boost for the mining convention.
Invite your friends to tho city for
the meetings and program of entertainment.
It ls reported in dispatches from
Paris that the allies propose to seize
Gormany's "liquid assets." But that
doesn't mean what lt might seem to
mean.
The second international mining
convention at Nelson will open in a
few days. At the meetings will be
discussed not only purely 'technical
matters and a pjeat many subjects
of yltaj Interest to every district
whlcljr.'depends to an appreciable extent1-'upon mining for Its prosperity.
There arc means by which govern
ments can assist tho industry, there
are points upon which the industry
needs public support. These will alt
be aired at the big convention.
The manner in which the new income tax will figure out as far as
married men are concerned is shown
in the table below. In the case of
single men it is considerably higher
on account ot the fact that the exemption is only $1000 instead of
$2000—
Income Present Tax New Tax

REPLIE8 TO LETTER FROM TRAIL
MAN.
To The Editor of tho Daily News:
Sir:—I was rather amused at tho
very long letter iu your Monday's edition, from Mr. Black, of Trail, regarding the activities of the so-culled Bol-
shovik leaders of the One Big Union.
I wonder whether Mr. Black, In his
duties as a minister of the Gospel, has
ever "i i.ted tlie poor people of bis
parish, ur seen llie. poverty that exists
In Trail. If he has, then I wonder at
him objecting at the poor deluded
workers taking somo step to get out of
the conditions that men of Mr. Black's
calibre evidently wish them to bo
pnd^r for AH time.
1 £a mc Avare that today there are in
Trail, people who cannot get sufficient to ea*t; ls ho aware that there aro
men with wives and five and six children only getting $3.50 per day? In
my short stay in Trail I have found
conditions that lam sure do not exist
in any other purt ot Canada, it Mr.
Black is aware of these things, then
I say he is not carrying out thc work
of the Gospel if lio himself does not
get out and preacli some goBpel thut
will eliminate this poverty in a land of
plenty, and not leavo it to so-called
Bolsheviks to preacli what he wishes
to term Sedition.
Why does ho attack Mr. Naylor, a
man who was tried for his associations
with Mr. Goodwin, and found Innocent?
I always tnought that in this so-called
free country of ours that after a man
had been tried and proven innocent
that he had no stain on his character;
but evidently that Is not the doctrine
that this Trail minister preaches.
When did Mr. Black here any ono
say that tho O.B.U. wore demanding
sne dollars a day for six hours' work?
Surely not in Trail.
Is tho workers' friend, Mr. Black,
aware that a man In Trail wus fired
and refused employment at thc Trail
smelter for walking on the street with
one of the leaders of the O.B.U., and
another because ho had said in a hotel
that he believed that the O.B.U. was
all right? Are these the conditions
that should exist in a free country?
Let me ask Mr. Black why he doesn't
get the soviet constitution and read
that; then he would get the truth of
tho Russian situation, and as a man
that should be in a position to lead the
people, he could tell tho true story.
Vory funny, isn't it, that now tho
Winnipeg strike is before the country, that it is Bolcehevlk money now
and not German money. I wonder if
Mr. Black can inform me how it Is being shipped Into Winnipeg and who. is
bringing it.
Why is it that the triple alliance in
England are telling the British government that they will stop work if thoy

THere are many who believe that
all big corporations and industrial
concerns only look to the material
side of things and work machine-
like for the production of wealth, regardless of the winter's snow and unheeding of the summer's bloom. This
Is often an erroneous Idea, tor lt Is
generally realized that man does not
altogether live by offices and pens
and papers and engines and other
accoutrements of labor—he requires
trees and shrubs and flowers and
the loveliness of nature.
The Canadian Pacific Railway has
always paid considerable attention to
the development of garden plots
along its lines. ' It 1» just thirty
years ago since a C.P.R. employee
raised a few varieties of flower seeds
In his own garden, and distributed
them amongst his friends in the
service of the company, with the
object of promoting flower gardening
at the various station plots of tho
railway, A vast advance has been
made since then; and now the company possesses a Floral Department
with headquarters at Windsor street
Station, Montreal, and a Floral Committee whieh embraces members
from the Eastern and Western lines.
It Is under the guidance of this department that the various station
plots and other properties of the
company are cleared up and beautified. Thousands of packages of
flower seeds, bulbs, trees, and shrubs
and large quantities of grass seeds
and fertilizers have been distributed
during.the last (ew years to station

Illiterates in the Canadian\Armn  '
Very Few-JOffOOO in_U.S. Armg
Illiteracy in tho United States army
was so prevalent that a committeo
was appointed by thc government to
compile statistics of it. They found
700,000 men in the drafted army who
were not only unlettered, but wero Ignorant of most of tho elementary facts
of oxlstcnce. Thc committee concluded its work by discovering that thero
aro nearly 4,000,000 native born mon.
and women In the United Slates who
can neither read nor write.
Illiteracy in the Canadian army was
so slight that It was never necessary
to compile statistics of It. The soldier who could neither read nor write
was sqj rare a member in the Canadians that he constituted no problem to
anyono but tne regimental padre, who
spent his free hours teaching tho rare
illiterate the threo R's.
Col. John 1. McLaren, tho A.A.G. of
Toronto military district, who has had
wide experience among the troops
since thc outset, says:
"Illiteracy has never been a problem. Now and again' a man would
turn up who had to make his 'mark'
on military oocuments, being unable
to write. But such were extremely
raro."
A paymaster of a Canadian battalion says: - ■
"oVbout five thousand men havo
como under my notlco. Only threo
could not sign their names. Two of
theso were foreigners."
At a muster parade ot a battalion
In France the adjutant took a census
of those who could not roud or write.
Two men were found, uno wus a
Russiun, who could read his own language, and who at one time could
write it; but whose hand was so
clumsy he hud long since been content to "muke his mark* only, iie
had never been culled upon to do nny
writing. The other was u Fronch-
Cunadian who spoke English with difficulty and who read and wrote not
at all. Both the Russian and tho
French-Canadian, however, were
smart, alert men, and nmong the battalion's best men.us tar as understanding orders wus concerned.
All officers who have censored letters for thc troops know that Canadians ean wr .e letters, In .act ,are
prolific writers! . And wnile spelling
was In many cases a cureless art, tho
(letter |ndjft,*ating extreme Ignorance
was an intrequent find. Among the
troops were many veritable Chester
fields, whose letters were j muster-
pieces in composition.
.As the ■Jiwadlnn corps Was-drawn
indiscriminately from tho backwoods
settlements as well as the cities, from
the mining camps of tho' north ns well
as the colleglato towns of the long-
settled older provinces, tho high standard of education und intelligence disclosed in thc wur effort Is most gratifying.

very little to do, beside keeping on

In reality,' the case was very different, for on thc permanent staffs,
both imperial and Canadian, had depended tho responsibility for training
men in England. All thoso on the'
Canadian staff ln England had been

- In referring to tho various distinctive totalities of the various troops
engaged In the war, Major Charles
paid special tribute to the London
Cockney battalions, whose continual
choerfulness had gone a long way to
stiffen thc moralo of the forces. As
fighters they wore wonderful, he
said,' and absolutely indifferent to
danger. The aCnadians, he said,
were the best equipped troops in
France, and had been kept continually up to strength.

CANADA'S COMPLIMENT
TO NEW YORK
Our neighbor on the other side of
tho political line which separates the
American republic from the self-governing Dominion of Canada are to
open ln this city next week an exhibition .of works of art commemorative
of t-^e notable part taken by their
soldiers' in the great war which was
crowned by victory for the allies on
land and sen.
J**or the flrfit time in many years a
governor-general of Canada will visit
New York, not as an individual, but in
an official capacity, and will receive" a
fitting welcome as the technical link
uniting thc northern part of this continent with the mighty organization
known as the liritlsh Empire.
So close are the relations, Intellec
tun I, business and social, between
Canadians and Americans that it is
pleasant to think thnt to many of the
former New York is in a very real
sense the metropolis of North America, ln spite of the fact that a different
flag from ours floats over the "cities
of Ottawa, Toronto, Quebec, Montreal
and Winnipeg.
That New York should have been
selected for the display of the Canadian memorial beforo it is taken to
Toronto nnd thonca to Ottawa, whet'
it is ot be Installed permanently, is
a graceful compliment whieh will not

G.   Pattullo   Makes   Ignorant   Statements in S.E.P. Article, "Who Won
the War"—Canadians Willing ^
To Give Credit  Due
TOW i.NTO.—UuiiutUiuis muy bxpcdt
ii cerium Vunuuiit of iiuiisltiie with
regard lu tho wilr from, our cousltia
across tlio border, Curiudliins brag a
bit, themselves. And It is inevitable
that a certain amount of bumptious
talk, blow, intended lmpfly for home
consumption, should, slip over to this
side oi the border. Dill when Mr.
G. i'littullt), a former Canadian and
a writer of magazine stories and
a brother of lion. T. D, I'altullo,
minister of lunds in the B.C, government, let loose as be docs in
lust wcclt's "Saturday Evening Post,"
in his article entitled "Who Won the
War?", It Is bringing tho matter
into the Cunadlan camp.
After some Inquiries among Canadian journalists; I find that Mr. O,
I'attnllo went to the Hlates some
years ago I" sell his stories, there
being no market for his particular
style in his native country; and that
now. he is in no sense to be eon
sidercd ns a Canadian. Offence can
not genuinely, be taken to bis writ
ings nn Hie ground of his being one
of us, nlthougb he was li lieutenant
in our milltln many years beforo the
war. Possibly Mr. Pattullo realizes
be has missed one of the biggest
••stlries" of bis life in falling to ro
Join his. old regiment, on tho out
break of war. and in his article on
who won it Is trying to make tile
best of a bad Job.
Canadian soldiers have no desire
lo belittle the part the United States
soldiers played In the war. We did
not at any time come in touch with
them, except when their officers came
up the line for short visits to us,
to learn the game. Those were all
fine fellows, keen und dead anxious
to  get on  to the tricks.
Woefully   Ignorant   Statements
Iiut In this article, "Who Won tlie
War," Mr. i'attnllo makes some
statements that are woefully ignorant.
Se says be was in France. What as?
A correspondent, a V.M.C..V. worker
or what? I foul* he ,,was a correspondent. Otherwise be would not
lie guilty of certain absurdities. ,. We
like his article, except where these
absurdities give us a back-banded
slap.
Iu oni'  place he says: —
"I went to the Chateau-Thierry
sector,' and to other sectors as well.
In those tragic days, and I pledge
my word of honor that never have
1 seen the morale of fighting forces
lower than it was among tiie allies
at thut period. They didn't seem to
have ll punch loft in them. They
werp sullenly awaiting the next onslaught, fearful of Its success, almost
hopeless of their ability to stop the
bodies. And then a small force of
Americans did the trick temporarily
—and presto!—hope revived. They
took a new lease of life; their spirits
rose."
Presto!
Splendid! '! ,
After examining one or two'little
sectors of the western front, Mr.
Pattullo Is satisfied that" upon his
honor he never saw morale lower
than il was among the allies at that
time. If he meant among tile few
odd French and 'Uritish battalions
he saw the morale was low, it would
he all right. I, too, have seen plenty
of low morale. My own morale has
beon less than two inches .high on
several occasions. Hut be doesn't
mean that. He means among tbe
allies, ull the allies, all the, way up
tho line. For bis claim is that the
stunt of one American division so|
revived tlie  spirits of all  the  allies
ment iu reducing tlio high cost ot
living. Tbe matter was referred to the
finance committee to report on at thc
next meeting.
A communication was received from
tlie British' Columbia manager of tho
"Veteran," thc official organ of tho
G.W.V.A.. soliciting subscriptions for
the magazine. Tlie council authorized

Never Heard of Chateau-Thierry
Will Mr. Pattullo bcileve me when
1 say lhat although I was In France
ull thc time, with an infantry .battalion, 1 never heard of the battle
of Chutteau-Thierry or of the St.
Mihiel show until I got home to .To
ronto?
1 will ndinit we 'Were a little ills
appointed at the success of the.Ger
n.nn rushes,  in March  and early  in
April.    Hut   to  say  that  either  the
Canadians or any ot tho Hritlsh regi
ments  we encountered in  Muy. .lune
i r July   were  depressed  or suffering
irom   nihneiit   of   morula   is   nothing
Out a bumptious piece of fiction born
of Ignorance
Mr. Fnllullo'B .conoop]t.0U of a. battle. Is quaint, if not comical,  lie says:
"In Muy und June he broke throufil
the French' front to the Murne and
almost reached Oompicgno. No re
feronee to American troops here; hut
who stopped the bodies? Paris seem
ed to be doomed, the French were
aghast; but suddenly the enemy
hordes were thrown back and held.
A !t the mayors of Moaux and ad-
jc.tiing towns; go ask the inhabitants of the Chateau-Thierry region.
They know. So do all of us who
were up' there or in Franco at tlie
time, Tlie Second Division of the
^Americans did it."
A lone division stopping a horde.
It must have been some horde.
Mr. Pattullo suffers from shortsightedness, lie thinks lie saw the
, Whole war down on that small sector
of tin; western front, lie should have
gone over with his old regiment here,
and even then lie would have humbly
'admitted that lie suw only a little
of It.
"lie also claims that tho United
States army so fiercely engaged the
llun, Hint it withdrew all tho reserves of the German army down in
front of the Yankees, so making it
easy for the Uritish lo sweep on to
victory.    He says:   .
"One lias only to- glance at the progress reported by the French, Hritlsh ' and Uelgliin commands in those
latter days of the struggle to realize
that tlie ■ resistance opposite them
must have been lialf-bearted, and in
some cases almost non-existent. Anybody who knows troops knows thut
this cannot be done against obstinate
resistance."
What the Canadians Did
Anybody who knows nnythlng at
all about the war besides one battle
sector will know that, according ti
official figures, that trifllngly small
Canadian force of four undersized
divisions engaged and decisively defeated betuell August 8 and November ll„ forty-seven German divisions,
that is, nearly one-quarter of the
.total German forces on the western
front. And III.537 prisoners happened to get safely past our attacks.
Mr. Pattullo is entitled to thluk what
he likes about half-hearted resistance.    So Is an Eskimo. .
The body of .Mr. I'attullo's article
consisted of quotations from oh
seure genernls, German restaurant
waiters, hall porters, etc. f, too,
could quote at random such people
ns n United Stntes staff officer who
told me thut the only distinguished
buttle tin.' United Stntes enguged in
wns the St. Mihiel battle, in which al!
the staff work was done by Hritlsh
officers, and the artillery was lirlt
isb, and that the Argonne fighting
was a gigantic tragedy of misman
ligament and staff bungling. T. don't
believe all that. I'm just quoting as
Mr. Pattullo did.
Hut ln conclusion, I think every
veteran association, patriotic organization and every institution with the
good of the nation at heart should
cable the Unltisli authorities to secure
before the peace conference breaks
up a definite statement of the exact
and relative parts played by tlie dlfi
ferenl nations in the concluding battles of tbe war, sinned hy Foch, ITuig

FISH FAIL IN LOVE
SANE AS WNS DO
I I.O.ND-.JN.—Hsh fall in love just
,us surely as <lo the higher anjmuls
und human beings. It has been
-proved, loo, that they give ex*
pression lo their emotions and feel
logs.
A famous authority. Ur. Francis
Ward, tiaid tills, and added that If
one only knows how to observe fish
pn'e./etm tell what they arc thinking
■about, what they intend to do and
Avhat they are feeling!
j It may seem highly ridiculous to
talk about the emotions of fish, anil
uf their intentions, but they have
these feelings, and they do express
them.   They love and fight as wc do.
Tiiat fish can actually reason, although very slowly, has been proved
by M. O-xrier, the French naturalist,
Me made a series of interesting experiments with eaptive fish.
Hi: baited a hook, and two Inches
above it he fastened a tiny piece of
white paper. With this bait lie
templed ;i recently captured fish.
Iiut this fish was wily, and for seven
days refused the bait. Then, the
next day, when the week-old memory
of its capture had apparently vanished from its mind, the fish bit and
wns  hooked.
Got  to   Know  Signal
o\I. Uxner carefully- unhooked the
catch .and replaced it in the water.
Threo limes more tlie fish bit. with
a day's interval between each bite.
Hut after that it longer touched
the bait, for the meaning of the
paper signal had become known to it.
On the twelfth day the piece of
fpaper was removed from tlie hook,
and the" fifth straightway bit the
bait! The paper was thereupon recced, and for three days Mr. Fish
refused to tackle lhc lure, contenting himself with watching It from
a safe distance. On the fourth day,
however, tlie fish swnm right up to
the paper signal, sniffed it and then
descended ami very cautiously nibbled the bait, until il had succeeded
in eating It alt off the hook without
(swallowing the latter. On the bait
being replaced, the fish did exactly
the same thing, and so carefully
■avoided "capture." Experiments with
[dther fish always had the.same result.
| The following humorous anecdote
amply proves that fish—or, at any
rate, trout—havo memories:
An expert pisciculturist kept', a,
large trout captive in a pool.' Whe*.?-'
ever anyone approached the hatchery
this trout would show itself, and appear tn be examining its visitors. By.
way of experiment the expert would
get a trout rod and hold it at the
side uf the pool, Immediately the
trout would swim swiftly into hiding, its fins bristling, Us skin pale
with fear and its eyes glaring. It
would remain hidden as long as the
trout rod was  in evidence.
The explanation ot this trout's ifwir
'of the rod is that early In its life
the expert east a new harbless hook I
into tlie pool with a trout rod tnj
order to test it. Thn trout seized;
the hook, which penetrated Its upper jaw. Uy the time it had been!
released the fear and pain it had
suffered evidently bad made n lasting Impression upon Its memory.
An astonishing fact is that when
the owner of the trout brought nn
ordinary stick or cane into view
the fish would take no notice whatever.
Fish make love to the partners of
their  choice  practically   m   ibe  samo
way that piegons coo and bow to
their  mates.
If, however, his persuasive methods
of love-making are not favorably
received, and the desired one cannot
be Induced to take up her ably received and the desired one for her,
he gets annoyed and attacks her
mercilessly!
The bride is simply driven into
the nest and forced to "make itself
at home,"   It often happens that two
or more fish claim the same mate,
In that case a fierce fight ensues and
the bravest gets the fairest. ;,
When a fish is enraged It becomes
brilliant In color, and all its flng
bristle sharply. When frightened ft
literally goes pale with fear, judt
as a human being (Iocs. This pallor
Is due to the frtct lhat alarm causes
(he pigment cells in the fish's skin
to contract and tho white flesh lo
show lhrough.—Tit-I.tit.s.

BERED IN THE KOOTENAY—
MEETING AT CITY HALL LAS
GANIZATION IN THE CITY, F
CHURCHES, REPRESENTED
ANG," WITH A PARADE'AND ALL
KE IT AN EVENT TO BE REMEM-
WOMEN PREDOMINATE AT MASS
T NIGHT —ALMOST EVERY OR-
ROM, ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION TO
.Mure than 100 persons attended
the mass meeting held in the cily
hall last night, to formulate plans
far the celebration to be given In
honor of all returned soldiers on
July 1. Women predominated at the
meeting. Nearly every organization
in . the city, from the athletic association to the churches und cily
council, were represented.
Everyone was armed with suggestions as to the best way of carrying out the program, and everyone
was ready to give voice to their pel
plans to make the .big day one to
be* remembered throughout lho city
and  district.
The finance committee will start
out early today with the determination to raise at least $2,000, to be
used in making the day "one grand
success,"  as  one  man  put it.
ijiiayor .1. A. McDonald was to act
as chairman of the meeting, but as
he had to leave for Revelstoke, Alex
Leith was appointed.
Mr. Leith asked Chief Donald
Guihric, chairman of the spurts committee., to ,give an outline of what
liirf* committee thought feasible in
the. way of sport attractions for the
day.    .
Good   Athletic   Events
The chief reported that the committee could not do much until it
knew what amount of money would
be allocated for the sports' end of
the celebration. lie had made inquiries and found that a good football team could be secured and also
it'fairly good baseball team, Additional teams could be secured from
Kaslo, Northport and other places
near. There might also be boxing,
llfine racing and children's spoils
if the funds and lime allowed. But,
he said, the committee could not go
nny further until it found out what
money  was available.
Mr. * Leith declared that he was
mire ' there would be no difficulty in
raiting enough money to make the
daj' successful   in  every  way.
"With . regard In children's sports,
It.. iMacArthur, principal of the Central ■ school, said that if would be
impossible for the smaller classes to
compete. He said the teachers were
busy on examinations and could not
give the time to organizing. Among
the older pupils he thought a program was possible. The cost liust
year of putting on sports by the
children came to ¥225, including the
High, Central and Hume schools.
Trail  Team  Coming
Mayor McDonald reported that he
had received a message from Capt.
Olsen at Balfour, stating that tho
Sanitarium boys would be putting
on a concert at tho opera house on
Dominion day. He also received another message from Ihe manager of
the Trait football association, stating that the Trail team would be
here.
R. B. Jackson, from the Y.M.C.A.
standpoint, said that lie did not
think that track sports would be a
success. The schools could do some*.
thing, but until - the professional
end of the sport* was done away
with there would be trouble. He
thought that providing no cash prizes
wore given the sports could bo got
back  to  their amateur standing.
W. Irvine came back with a. roply
to thc effect that no cash prizes
had been given in the past, other
than   nickels,   which   were   given   to
the   younger   children   for   the   races.
One  Long Success
.1. 11. Hunter said he did not see
why thc sports committee should
not go ahead. The merchants would
probably donate the prizes. He
urged them to keep before them tho
fact that the reception was for returned soldiers, of Whom there would
be present about 500. Every effort
should be made, he said, lo make
the  day  one  long success.
"Ginger up a Utile" was the keynote of everything .1. W. Holmes
said. He urged Ihe people to get
out and work for the celebration.
The boys at the front did not lug
when there was fighting to be done
—there would not be a Great Britain
today if they had, he declared. Ho
reported that lie had seen the C.P.R.
officials witli regard to the transportation of visitors from outside.
All the trains but one came in during
thc morning, and if possible a special
train would be run from Slocan City
in the morning,
What   About   Veterans?
Mrs. Howe was the first woman
to speak, She said that sho hud
heard nothing of the returned soldiers having an active part in the
proceedings,
Mr. Leith replied that all returned
soldiers were' welcome to take part
in any event, and they would be admitted freo us the guests of thc
pity.
Chief Guthrio said that 50 per cent,
of the members of the football teams
were   returned   soldiers.
Start  With   Biq   Banq
A, T. Walley brought forward the
suggestion of it parade in the morning.
C. !•*. McHardy endorsed the suggestion with the .statement that the
celebration should start off with a
good big bang and that a big parade
would make a good start. All organizations should help and the thing
should start off wilh a swing, ho
said, tic believed that the two main
industries of tlie city and district
should be brought well forward in
tho celebration. He suggested log
chopping contests, In tho matter of
funds, ho said that if Xelson could
show a good celebration the money
would   come   alright.
J, W. Holmes [bought that the sum
of $800 would be sufficient to be
put aside for the sports. Another
speaker suggested $1,500, but when
the question was put to a vote the
*80o   motion   carried.
Boss Fleming asked if the veterans
were having any say in the arrangements.
G, A. Brown said he thought: the
soldiers should have on active part
as tlie celebration was to be in their
honor.
Financial Problems
After more discussion along these
lines the speakers switched back to
(he financai end of th,e arrangement s.'
'•' L. -Ifr. Choquette proposed that a
hou8C-tri-hoi.se canvass should be
made- W. S. Kng declared the thing
should be run on business lines. He
said that the finance committee
should add to its number and then
divide the city into districts.
R. \V. Hinton thought thc host
plan would be to appoint a strong
finance committee to find out approximately how much money could
he   obtained   and   then   certain   sums
could   be   allotted   for   the   different
attractions,
Sir. Choquette r«atd the finance
committee should start right out on
Thursday  afternoon.
The resolution instructing the committee to endeavor to raise $2,000 for
expenses was moved by R. Smillie,
ghd seconded by Mr.  Hinton.
Others who spokp along the same
■line's were AV. H. Jones, Mr, Waters)
AjAL Black, Rev. H. S, Bagnall and
MV C. Todd.
Women's   Meetinfl
After the meeting adjourned the
Womei) held a special meeting and
appointed an executive committeo
with power to add to tlieir number.
They will be in charge of tho banquet arrange me nls*. On the committee were Mrs. H. H. Pitts, Mrs. W. O.

bo Imped that they are not tempting
the fates too far in choosing such a

Ever since the erection of the "V"

bedrooms, curtains for the windows,
and general house furnishings. Tlie
ladle have felt that it was their part
to provide for the home-like features
of the association. They have done
other things ns well, and have helped
out the board of directors in a number
of tight financial corners.
The pressing need for which the'
funds from Friday's bake sule will be
used Is the replenishing of the linen
supply made necessary by the greater
demand for towels, etc., through the
increased use ot the baths and dormitory now that the young men are

WITH   THE  BIG  FIGHT.ERS
AT  THEIR  TRAINING  CAMPS
TOLEDO, June 11. — Six hnrd
rounds of boxing nnd five miles of
road work constituted thc training
program for Jess Willard today, in
preparation for the heavyweight
championship contest with Jack
Dempsey here July  4.
The champion stepped three rounds
each with Jack Hempli and Walter
Monahan, and boxing experts regarded Ills glovo work as tho most
impressive since he started training
here 10- days ago. He used a rangy
left jab with telling effect on Monahan and set such a furious pace
for Hempil that the latter was In a
dizzy condition after tho final round.
Willard wound up tho day's exercise
by wrestling with Soldier Stanton,
and the champion left the ring with
a bleeding hack as the result of
Stanton's rough work in pulling and
tugging Willard around  tho ring.
The sun-burned Dempsey, still
chafing under thc restraint placed on
him, went through a lively workout,
hut was not permitted to put on the
gloves. He covered about seven
miles on the road, .tugged at the
weights, punched the ' bag and
shadow boxed. Although the wound
over his ey is healing rapidly, Man
ager Kearns decided not to take
any risk of having the cut reopened. So it is probable that the
challenger will not do any boxing
until Friday or possibly Saturday.

BROWN AND HUNT LEAD
BOWLING TOURNAMENT
The Y.M.C.A. bowling tournament is
getting interesting. A couple of nights
ago the favorites, Brake and Ferguson,
went down and out under the strain
of the phenomenal bowling of W.
Brown, Jr., and E. C. Hunt, tho latter
team piling up a total of nearly a
thousand pins in the three games.
This puts Hunt and Brown into thc
finals, while their opponents for the
championship are yet to be decided.
The other section of the tournament
has reached the semi-finals,
TAKING IT EASY.

COMPARING 1
INTEREST RATES
CHARGED IN U.S.
The   Manager of  a   British  Columbia
Branch   Bank Speaks 'From   Nineteen   Years'   Experience
TORONTO—The "Western Retailer,"
who complained of having had to
pay interest to a bank at Grande
Prairie at the rate of 12 per cent.,
has aroused more than the head
officers of the Canadian banks. The
following was contributed by a bank
manager in British Columbia to the
Financial Post, who speaks from experience of nineteen years, incidentally he gives strong endorsatlon
for the views of Vere Brown in
support of the Canadian branch system ns compared with the unll
banks of tlio United States:
I read wllh interest a letter appearing in your issue of Aprli 111,
191!., from "A Western Retailer;" in
which he states that the banks hi
the vicinity of Grande Prairie, Alta..
charge 12 por cent, interest on loans.
I can only say that, during my
nineteen years' experience working
for a Canadian chartered hunk, T
have never seen it done. I would
point out, however, for his Information that it Is done by local banks
in the United States, and I quote
in this regard from an aricle by
Mr. Vere Brown, superintendent of
central western branches of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, entitled:
"Tho Western Farmer and the Bank,"
appearing in the journal of the
Canadian Bankers' association, dated
April, WW. which. "A Western Retailer"  may  find  edifying:
2,749 National banks in forty-two
states, covering A8 per cent, of the
total area of the continental United
States, exclusive of Alaska, admit
under oath that they are charging
10 per cent, or more on some of
thoir loans; and 1,022 National banks
in twenty-five states, which include
74 per cent, of the total area of the
continental United States, exclusive
of Alaska, also confess that they
have been charging on an average
anywhere from 10 per cent, to IS
per cent, or more on all of thels
loans.
"This relates to National banks
only. The sliowing of state banks,
which Institutions Mr. Leedy specially endorses, would undoubtedly bo
worse.
As to Kansas itself, either Mr.
Loedy's banking experience there was
exceptionally fortunate, or the view
he now-takes Is an Illustration of the
truth of the adage, "distant fields
look green"—for the comptroller reported that all National banks in
Kansas admitted that on some loans
they wero charging 12 por cen. or
more!"
Mr. Vere Brown gives as his
authority the_ report of the United
States comptroller of currency for
lfllfi, and his article Is based on the
address which he gave beforo the
executive of the United Farmers of
Alberta in January last. Mr. Vere
Brown goes on to say further in the
article, which may Interest "A Western   Retailer,"  the  following:
"In later years tbe American system has come to be about as stabilized as It is likely ever to be nnd
yet if the record of losses to depositors In the different states even
in the last period of twenty years
were looked ino it would be found
thnt In many of the states the losses
to depositors of failed banks had
run into figures that our western
people would not be willing knowingly to face. Taking the state of
north Dakota at random, because it
was the state nearest at hand, I
recently gathered the figures of bank
failures In that stato since 1893—that
being as far back as tho record appeared to be obtainable—and I found
that there had been bank failures In
connection with seven of which depositors suffered Insses aggregating
$301,000 odd. What would the people
of Alberta say of our banking system
If it had involved losses of this
amount to depositors of that province in the last twenty-five years?
/'The recent convention of the United Farmers of Alberta—at which I
emphasized tho consideration Which
was due to bank depositors nnd
quoted the foregoing figures of depositors* recent losses from local
banks in the comparatively old-
settled state of north Dakota—had
scarcely closed when a dispatch
came from Minnesota announcing
that a chain of fourteen state banks
there had blown up. Theso banks
had a capital of $10,000 to $20,000
each, the aggregate capitalization being only $170,000, with deposits, however, aggregating the large sum of
$1,440,000. Adventurers had succeed
ed in getting control of tho majority
of the capital stock of each of those
banks (the comparatively small
amount involved rendering that an
easy matter) and had lent some
$910,000 of the bank's deposits to tt
number of outside doubtful enterprises of their own. If the depositors do not suffer heavy losses they
wilt be very lucky indeed. In this
connection it is Interesting to note
that the Individuals in control of
these Minnesota banks had planned
to enter Manitoba, where thoy had
obtained a charter for the North
America finance commission.
I quote Mr. Brown at length because it is evident that "A Western
Retailer" leans to Mr. Leedy and his
views. If the banks do charge a
higher rate of interest in the vicinity
of Grande Prairie, due probably to
the fact that it is on the outskirts
of Canada, It Is only reasonable to
suppose that "A Western Retailer
docs the same with the goods he
sells. His concluding remarks that
"the people of eastern Canada, manu
facturers, bankers and the rest have
got to get down to brass tacks and
meet the west fairly and squarely on
all big questions," are not, I feel
sure, the vi^s of the great majority
in the west.—H. D. S.

SITTING ON GRASS
AGAINST THE LAW
Montreal  Police Carry Out Letter of
Civic    Act    Regarding
Parks.
MONTREAL.—"Do not walk on the
grass," tbat. unobtrusive legend which
hitherto has seemed In exist for the
sole reason of giving rise lo innumerable prettily painted signs in the pub*
lie: parks, gives last promise of pros
ently being added in the decalogue—
at least by some eighty poople, rang
ing In station from eivil engineers lo
laborers, who have been gathered in
by the police during tho past two
days for Infractions of by-law 27!
which forbids walking on the grass
in public parks.
This unusual policy activity
prosecuting ihe by-law had for ils
principal hunting ground thnt favored spot of Montreal's youth—La-
fontaine park. Some fifty-two people
were taken Inlo custody Sunday, with
a further crop of twenty-two yoster
day. With the exception of a few, all
were Immediately relensed on bail,
ami appeared this morning beforo Re
corder Semple, who fined them, Inmost
cases,***! tue COiitfl> 2■^'",• while others
wero assessed In addttlo   a fine of $3.
Sergt. Dugiiay of No. 14 station, accompanied by Constables Labelle,
Longpre, Charest and Gagnon, formed
the "strong arm" squad that effected
the round-up Sunday .and yesterday
of Park Lafohtainc. On both days the
first wnvo of hot weather had driven
several thousand people from their
home to take'refuge among the shady
groves and walks ot the park,
Young people of both sexes, children, aiid wliole families were scattered everywhere throughout, many of
them to their sorrow, on the grass,
Sergt. Duguay and his men, early
in'tho al'teronon began a systematic
Combing of tho lawns. Uniformed
men first warning- the public off the
grass and then men in plain clothes
came along a little later. Many were
thc "partings in hot haste," on their
appearance. No one was exempt, and
If he should be so unfortunate as to
be found on the grass, it meant a little trip to the "cooler" across tlie
street. There, however, most of those
taken Jn secured light bail and wcr
released. The bail ranged from $3 lo
$20, ond there were Indignant ' ond
tearful scenes when the law's edict
was made known.
Altogether seventy-four persons of
both sexes were arrested in Lafontaine
park. In Dominion square, Sergt. De-
Belylefeuille rounded up six men.

others pleaded guilty and were let off
with tbe coals.
The corridors of the recorder court
wero packed to suffocation this morn
Ing by the offending ones, and it was
almost noon before all the cases had
been heard.
Citizens Complain.
Many complaints wore mado by the
luckless ones that tho city did not
provide enough seats for the people
who used the park, and that it was
an unnecessary thing to arrest men
who were sitting alone or with a malo
friend enjoying the cool of the even*
Ing on the grass. The majority of
those fined were highly respectable
citizens, who strongly objected to the
treatment given them by the police.
Enquiries at tho city hall led to tho

WATCH FOR "BOTULIS"
GERM  IN  YOUR  DINNER
TORONTO. — Discussing the ptomaine poisoning disaster, Col. Dr,
Georgo C. Nnlsmith, C.M.G*., Director
of the Chil Laboratories, who served
with the Canadian Army in Franco as
chief analytical expert, states that tho
Botulis" germ by which twelve were
killed at a Dawson City dinner party,
was much more common than most,
people imagined. It was very difficult
to kill, and multiplied very rapidly.\
setting up a poison that usually tiided
fatally. It was caused by contamination, and might be found in sausages
or vegetable or animal soups, the ingredients of which had not been too
carefully selected; Wherever there
was contamination or putrefaction the
Kerm might exist.
The,germ itself was quite harmless
in the human body. Its danger lay entirely in tlie poison set up in foods,
and it was this poison that caused tlie
fatalities in Dawson City. Had the
food been boiled for five minutes he-
fore being set on the tahlo.the germs
would have been killed. The poisoned
food, however, would not be safe to
eat. Imperfect. cooking of canned or
preserved fruit or vegetables gave the
germ' air opportunity" to multiply and
do its deadly work.
HER ATTITUDE.

more Impatience thari'T ilo'at present."
