Hc\n-'ave reasons why he was in the field,\n-aying in part. \"I was defeated at\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDhe last election by misrepresentation,\nnianating principally from my op-\n\"inent, Ex-councillor Gold. I consider my previous experience will bc\nl material advantage to tbe present\n'OUHc.il. My intention is to help the\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDresent council to work in harmony\nin transacting the business of the\nminicipality.

With regard tee Mr. Gold's\nattack on the last council accusing\nthem of crooked work in connection\nwith the reduction of the water rates.\naccording to figures given nut by the\nwater department of 1914, the revenue frnm water is paying all expenses\nand half the interest and sinking fund\nand I think it is only fair that ratepayers, who arc owners of vacant\nproperty, shoulel pay a part of the interest anil sinking fund. I believe\nthese commodities shemld be given\nto citizens as cheaply as possible and\nthat we should not work fnr the\nclasses but the masses.\" In closing.\nMr. Kerr said that if bc was elected,\nas he expected to be. he wemlel serve\nthe best interests of the municipality.\nCouncillor Rutledge. one oi the\ndelegation that asked the Bank of\nCommerce on Wednesday to continue\nthe draining on Main from Bodwell\nsouth, reported favorably at this nieeling.\nSeveral times the people of South\nVancouver have .unanimously expressed themselves t.i the Government of British Columbia a- being\ndesirous eef annexalieen te. Vancouver.\nThe people of Vancouver have agreeable- tee an amalgamation.\nPremier McBride and his government have repeatedly refused to\ngrant the wishes oi the people of\nSouth Vancouver and the city. They\nhave set at defiance the wishes of the\npeople. Several times have they refused tei even consider the desire- of\nthe Greater Vancuuver iu this connection. In doing this they have established a new e.reh-r in the matter\n.ef responsible government\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDan or-\neler where the will of the people\ncounts feer nothing.\nAll the bitterness, quarelllng, waste\nantl nonsense which South Vancouver has suffered in the past twee or\nthree years might have been avoided had the government wisely granted annexation. The present degrading condition- eef affairs can be blamed almost directly upon the Provincial Government.\nAnnexation .would, at lhe present\ntime, bc a panacea fnr many eif the\nills South Vancouver, as a Vnimuun-\nity. is suffering.\nA subject thai is looming up large\n.ni the municipal horizon at the present time', is that of annexation, in\nthe carrying nut e.f thc Greater Vancouver idea. The Point Grey council have an annexation committee,\nwhose duty it is t.i carefully study\nthis question, in order to arrange for\nterms that will be suitable i\" ihe inhabitants of thr municipality, anil te.\nsec that while joining hands with the\nCity of Vancouver the interests \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD >t\nPoint Grey are duly protected.\nThis committee have hael several\nmeetings, at which tlu- subject was\nthreshed nut in detail: the Smith Vancouver council have been consultedi\nand a Conference ha- been hehl with\nthe city council. The subject has.\ntherefore, advanced into the regimi\nnf practical politics, and it is considered likely, that favorable terms\nhaving been arranged. annexation\nwould, in all probability, be accomplished next year.\nThe problem of annexation has alio been discussed at several eif the\nlocal ratepayers' associations, where\nthe general opinion has been expressed, lhat it is time the council took\nthe ratepayer- intn their confidence,\nand explained the Idea upon which\nit is considered that annexation\nslinuld take place, and also to find\neiut the feeling .ef the electors upon\nthe matter. As yet. it has simply\nbeen taken fnr granted that annexation is a desirable thing tn achieve,\nbut im .me can say fe.r certain what\nreallv is the eipinieen e.f the electorate\nin Point Grey.\nEveryone must admit that the\nscheme t\" bring abeiut a Greater Vancouver is a splendid eme, but whether\nthis should take the form eif annexation, and all the communities within\nthe specified area come under one\nhead, is quite another thing. Is it a\ncertainty that a centralized government would bc the best for the community? That is a question which\nought to bc dealt with very carefully,\nand every phase nf it gone into thoroughly. Can terms be arranged under which the whole of the Interests\nof the municipalities would be fully\nprotected, or is there a chance tbat\nin bringing about thc amalgamation\nloop-holes will be left tbat may in\nthe future prove a source e.f endless\nconflict?\nThc Point Grey \"Gazette\" says :\nIt seem- tee u- that a better plan in\nbringing about a Greater Vancouver,\nwould be to carry it through on the\ncounty council basis. Let each municipality govern its own local affairs,\nand also let matters eef common ink-vest be dealt with by the central\ngoverning body. In other weirel-, thc\nplan would be similar tei that iu vogue\nin governing the Dominion of Canada. Under that system the pn evinces look after their own internal\naffairs, the Dominion Parliament legislating upon matters of common interest to the whole country.\nCouncillor Wells has long been an\nadvocate of the County Council\nscheme, holding that while in favor\nnf the Greater Vancouver ielca it\ncnuld be brought about better under\nthis system than by means of anne.xa-\n>t great 1111-\ntion. Thi- i- a subject\nportance te > unwieldy, and there\nwould be a tendency to pay more at-\ntontie.n to the needs e>( the centre than\nof the less populated parts.\nThere is ne. doubt that the time is\n'ripe for some change, and the question to consider is what would be the\nmost beneficial change lei make. The\nsubject is teee. important to alleiw ofi\nsentiment tee govern ns in deciding\nii. It should bo dealt with in a calm\nand level-headed manner. But sentiment can oven play an important\npart in the County council scheme.\nbecause that will also bring about\nwhat we all ardently desire to see accomplished\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa Greater Vancouver.\nThi- week marks the completion\neif much of the excavating em tbe preliminary w-e.rk on tbe Main Street\npaving contract.

The rate of\n17.50 mills has been lixed for im-\nproved land and 27.50 mills for wild\nland.. The collector was instructed\nto hold a tax sale for the purpose of\nsecuring arrears in taxes from the\nyears 1900 to 1911 inclusive, which at\nthe lirst of the year amounted to\nse.ine $50,000. This sale will not effect arrears of a later date, although\nthey represent a much greater sum,\nbut will save still further raising the\ntax. There is a decrease of $870,515\nin the value of wild land, partly ac-1\ncounted for by recent subdivisions,!\nbut there i.s an increase in the value\nof improved land of $1,181,074.\nThe assessed value of wild land for I\ni 1914 is $4,764,389 and of improved\nland $29,614,695, a total of $34,379,084.\nOwing tee a slight error the assessment for the years 1913 and 1914 on\nimproved lands was reversed, in the\nlirst announcement, but was enrrected\nat Monday's meeting. Provision is\nmade in the estimates fe.r $19,561 more\nfor school maintenance this year than\nlast, the total being $163,148.

On the other hand, there\ncan scarcely be any doubt about the\ninfluence of the change of habits of\nliving. Japan has apparently begun\na process of change from a rice diet\nto a wheat diet, leading to an increased demand for the latter, with a consequent rise in price. The United\nStates annually absorbs large numbers of Slavs, Italians, Greeks, etc.,\nwhose standard of living is relatively\nlow. Observers in the States say that\ntheir standard of living soon changes,\nand a demand arises for food and\nother commodities of a different character altogether to that which formerly satisfied them. So great is the\ninfluence of this that the export of\nfood stuffs freim the United States is\nsteadily falling, anel, indeed, a movement in the opposite direction has already commenced, large shipments of\nmeat and cattle to the United States\nfrom the Argentine having taken place\nduring the last two years. Such increased demand must be operative in\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDi rise of prices. In this connection\nit should not be overlooked that the\nrecent remission of tariff charges on\nmeat and other foods in Germany and\nthe United States is likely to divert\nsome supplies to these markets and\ne'ause a corresponding rise of price\nhere.\nOne factor, however, operating in\nthe Old Country is often overlooked,\nviz., the financial requirements of the\nlegislation of the last ten years. If\nwe take the expenditure of the Imperial Government and the expenditure of the Municipalities and other\nlocal governing bodies of the United Kingdom we shall find that the\nannual sum is about \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD90,(XX),(XX) more\nthan it was ten years ago, and this is\na recurring charge. It is a very large\nsum. It amounts to an additional tax\nof \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD2 per heael per annum for every\nman, woman and child in the liritish\nIslands, eer expressed otherwise it\nmeans that, em the average, an extra\nsum of between \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD8 anel \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD9 is required from every family in the country as compared with what was demanded ten years ago. It is true that\nmuch of the expenditure is prompted\nby the best of intentions. Wc have\nold age pensions, almost universal\ninsurance against sickness, more ample provision for education, and a\ngeneral improvement in. municipal services. But there is generally little\nconsideration given to thc source\nwhence this wealth is drawn. Politicians in Parliament make elaborate\nprovision to ensure that part, at any\nrate, of the sum required shall be\nraised by higher taxes on higher incomes, by increased taxes on luxuries,\nor by requiring definite contributions\nfrom employers as under the Insurance Act. And it is maintained that\nthe more favored classes are thus\ncompelled to contribute towards better services for the lower orders of\nthe community on whose behalf the\nbulk of the expenditure referred to is\nprofessedly made. The experience of\nthe last few years must make one\ndoubt whether such a consummation\nhas been reached, and unless it can\nbe shown that in the aggregate the\nreceivers of the higher incomes enjoy smaller net incomes than before, or are compelled to a diminution in their luxuries, or that the em-\nnloying classes do, in effect, pay the\nInsurance Act contributions, it is difficult to resist the conclusion that the\nwhole of the sums we are considering\nare furnished by the community as a\nwhole in the form of higher prices,\nThe general higher level of prices\nyields a larger gross return, and from\ntlle larger gross return the required\namount is. by taxation, directly obtained.

'.; i \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.\nWhat remedy is there for this evil\nstate of affairs? If the rise of prices\nbe due tn a relative shortage of production, ejbviously production must\nbe stimulated. If the rise be in any\npart due to the \"passing-on\" of taxation to the consumer, the incidence\nof taxation must be changed so as to\navoid this. Of all the taxes that have\never been suggested for the purpose\nof raising revenue, there is only one\nthat cannot be in some form or other\nbe \"passed on.\" The tax that possesses this supreme merit, from the\nworker's point of view, is the tax\nbased on the value of land. All economists of repute agree that the incidence of such a tax cannot be changed. It must be paid by the person\nwho enjoys the proprietary interest\nin the land, and cannot be transferred to anyone else. If thc monies\nrequired for public services were raised by a tax on land values, thc great\nmass of the workers could be certain\nthat they could not be made to pay\nthe share of the more favored section\nof the community, as is often the case\nat present.\nRut the tax would have a far greater\neffect than this. If all land had to\ncontribute annually to the rates (or\ntaxes), whether it were used or not,\na sum based upon its capital value,\nthe necessity for obtaining an income from the land in order to get\nthe money to meet this annual charge,\nwould act as a steady pressure, compelling the owner to make good use\nof it. The millions of acres of idle\nland, or only partially used land, t\nbe found in this country today wouh\nbe forced into use. There would b.\na great demand for labor to effect thi-\na demand winch would in itself tene\nto raise wages, anel with this new development there- would be such an in\ncrease of production of thc commor\nnecessities of life as would undoubtedly, check the teudency of prices t\nrise, and if carried Sufficiently fa1\nwould bring about a movement in tin\nopposite direction.\nRev.

There are hundreds of deserving men\nin the city who cannot find work. If owners of vacant\nlots would have fences erected and the ground seeded\ndown in garden truck a demand for labor woulil be\nestablished which would have an immediate effect\nupon the congested lahor market. In our view it is a\nsin against heaven to allow all the grass now growing\nupon vacant land within the city limits to go to waste.\nIt is a sin to buy dust laden prairie hay when nature\nhas provided us abundantly with a superior article at\nhome. This waste of natural resources side by side\nwith unemployment and want presents one of the most\ndistressful problems of the time. It is certainly the\nduty of every man who is ahle, to see that all land in\nhis possession is put to profitable use and thus to help\nrelieve unemployment, increase the supply of garden\ntruck, and decrease the present high, cost of living.\nWhilst there are starving men in our midst\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand\nthere are\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDit is the hounden duty of every citizen to\ndo everything possible to finel work for the unemployed.

Without that self-control,\nwhich places the lower nature in subjection to the\nhigher, human beings are like a ship trying to navigate the sea of life without ballast and rudeler, blown\nhither anil thither hy every wind of passion and al-\nways in danger of capsizing and shipwreck.\nIt is want of self-control that leaves minds open to\ntlle appeal of vice and crime\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDtlle anger that has never\nbeen restrained; the malice that has hee-n allowed to\nfester in the heart; the eovctousnc'ss that has never\nbeen checked; tlie imperious demands of the lower\nnature- that have never heen denied. It is these tin-\ndammed streams of evil that in their mail course.\nsweep on most men. who close their misspent lives on\nth.- gallows or in the penitentiaries.\nIt is because of the disciplining influences of tin-\nwisely administered home and school that the boy or\ngirl, who has not been brought up under those influences, has missed so much, an 1 goes out into the\nwurld morally undeveloped.

Mr. R. S. Gourlay,\nrepresentative of the Hoard of Trade mi the Toronto\nHarbor Commission, will give an address on this sub-\njeet. which should he of interest, not unly to citizens\nof Toronto, hut to the' whole country. Our harbors\nare national gateway-, ami the Dominion Government is expected to contribute over $6,000,000 to this\nparticular project.\nThe works now in progress at Toronto should prove\nof national importance in another respect also, namely,\nhy putting before other cities an example of what may\nlie done hy systematic planning for waterfront development. The works proposed are of three kinds: ( 1 )\nIndustrial development, (2) Commercial and dock\ndevelopment. (3) I'ark and boulevard improvements.\nThey involve the filling in eif Ashbridge hay and the\nestablishment there of a model industrial district with\nlirst class railway and lake transport facilities; the\ndeepening of the inner harbor and building of new\nelocks; and the construction of a beautiful 12-mile\ndriveway, extending along the entire waterfront, with\na protected channel for small craft for the whole distance, lagoons, parks, islands, amusement grounds,'\nbathing beaches, and everything that coulel be desireil\nfor summer pleasure. It is expected that the entire\nproject will be completeel in 1920 and at an estimated\ncost of upwards of $19,000,000. When completed, it\nshould place Toronto in an enviable position, giving it\none of the finest harbors on the Great Lakes, stimulating its industrial anil commercial expansion, and\nproviding its people with unrivalled recreation facilities at their very elejors.\nTHOMAS JEFFERSON OS GOVERNMENT\nTHE legitimate powers of government extend to\nsuch acts only as are injurious to others. Hut\nit does mc no injury for my neighbor to say there are\ntwenty gods, or no Goel. It neither picks my pocket\nnor breaks my leg. If it be said, his testimony in a\ncourt of justice cannot be relied on, reject it then, and\nbe tlle stigma on him. Constraint may make him\nworse by making him a hypocrite, but it will never\nmake him a truer man. It may fix him obstinately in\nhis errors, but will not cure them. Reaion and free\ninquiry are the only effectual agents against error.\nGive a loose to them, they will support tbe true religion by bringing every false one to their tribunal,\nto the test of their investigation. They are the natural\nenemies of error anil of error only. Had not the Roman Government permitted free inquiry, Christianity\ncould never have heen introduced. Had not free inquiry heen indulged at the era of tbe Reformation, the\ncorruptions nf Christianity could not have been purged\naway, li it he restrained now. the present corruptions\nwill he protected, and new ones encouraged.\nBY THE WAY\nTill\".

There are hundreds of deserving men\nin the city who cannot find work. 1 f owners of vacant\nlots would have fences erected and the ground seeded\ndown in garden truck a demand for labor would be\nestablished which would have an immediate effect\nupon the congested labor market. In our view it is a\nsin against heaven to allow all the grass now growing\nupon vacant land within the city limits to go to waste.\nIt is a sin to buy dust laden prairie hay when nature\nhas provided us abundantly with a superior article at\nhome. This waste of natural resources side by side\nwith unemployment and want presents one of the most\ndistressful problems of the time. It is certainly the\nduty of every man who is able, to see that all land in\nhis possession is put to profitable use anil thus to help\nrelieve unemployment, increase tbe supply of garden\ntruck, and decrease the present high cost of living.\nWhilst there are starving men in our midst\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand\nthere are\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDit is the bounden duty of every citizen to\nel. i everything possible to find work for the unemployed.

Mr. R. S. Gourlay,\nrepresentative '>f the Hoard of Trade .ni tlie Toronto\nHarbor Commission, will give an address on this subject, which should be of interest, not only to citizens\nnf Toronto, but to the whole country. Our harbors\nare national gateways, and tlle Dominion Government is expected to contribute over $(>,0U0.000 to this\nparticular project.\nThe works now in progress at Toronto should prove\nof national importance in another respect also, namely,\nby putting before other cities an example of what may\nbe done by systematic planning for waterfront development. The works proposed are of three kinds: ( 1 )\nIndustrial development. (2) Commercial and dock\ndevelopment. (3) Park anil boulevard improvements.\nThey involve the filling in of Ashbridge bay and the\nestablishment there of a model industrial district with\nlirst class railway and lake transport facilities; the\ndeepening of the inner harbor and building of new\ndocks; and the construction of a beautiful 12-mile\ndriveway, extending along tbe entire waterfront, with\na protected channel for small craft for the wheile distance, lagoons, parks, islands, amusement grounds,\"\nbathing beaches, and everything that coulel he desired\nfor summer pleasure. It is expected tbat thc entire\nproject will be completed in 1920 and at an estimated\ncost of upwards of $19,000,000. When completed, it\nshould place Toronto in an enviable position, giving it\none of the finest harbors on the Great Lakes, stimulating its industrial ami commercial expansion, anel\nproviding its people with unrivalled recreation facilities at their very eloors.\nT\nTHE VALUE OF SELF-COSTKOL\nOXF, of the greatest personal assets is self-control\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthat all-round temperance which the Apostle\nto the Gentiles included in his category of virtues.\nSelf-control is essential to character; and the developing of that quality is the task of every person\nwho would live on a moral plane higher than tbat occupied by brute creation.

It i- these un-\ndammed streams of evil that in their mad course,\nsweep mi most men, who close their mi-spent lives on\nthe gallows or in the penitentiaries.\nIt is because of the disciplining influences of tbe\nwisely administered home an.l scho. el that the boy or\ngirl, who has not been brought up under those influences, has missed so much, and goes out into the\nworld morally undeveloped. Some of those handicapped youths receive in the hard school of experience\nthe disciplining they missed in earlier years, but it is\nobtained at a tremendous price\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDhard knocks, cruel\ncrushings, and often failures that cannot be retrieved.\nNot all, however, learn the lesson, for it is not a lesson easily learned after the foundations of character\nhave been laid and tbe period of plastic youth has\npassed. \"As the twig inclineth, so is the tree bent\";\nand once the tree has taken shape it is difficult, often\nimpossible to alter it.\nThese things should be borne in mind' in dealing\n'THOMAS JEFFERSON OS GOVERNMENT\nHE legitimate powers of government extend to\nsuch acts only as are injurious to others. Hut\nit does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are\ntwenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket\nnor breaks my leg. If it be said; bis testimony in a\ncourt of justice cannot be relied on, reject it then, and\nbe the stigma on him. Constraint may make him\nworse by making him a hypocrite, but it will never\nmake him a truer man. It may fix him obstinately in\nhis errors, but will not cure them. Reason and free\ninquiry are the only effectual agents against error.\nGive a loose to them, they will support the true religion by bringing every false one to their tribunal,\nto the test of their investigation. They are the natural\nenemies of error and of error emly. Had not the Roman Government permitted free inquiry, Christianity\ncould never have been introduced. Had not free inquiry been indulged at the era of the Reformation, the\ncorruptions of Christianity coulel not have been purged\naway.
