The views of thc -Prohibitionist and those of the anti-Prohibitionist, each have been echoed and re-echoed up and down the land in one form or-.'another, for. years, and arc too well known to be read with interest. But here is a thought given expression to by George Duncan, in a letter in the Vancouver Province, which is unusually noteworthy, and seems to get right at the kernel of":th������������������ proposition: "To regulate," says he, "is the duty of every free state; to.prohibit, where no crime is involved*; is to draw closer the bonds of freedom and to lay an axe at the very root of democracy itself; for where democracy loses its love of liberty and uses the methods, of despotism, it has established the forces which will inevitably work its own ruin." * 'In* this connection ;a"'dispatclcV 7^'7j7 from London.undcrdalc of Oct. 26,yVl-'":V"������������������.< says:" "Genriaiiyis'weakening'"'At'VVW last the Kaiser sees the-inevitable". fr" end of'tlie world war.''-.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1915 VEGETABLE EVAPORATING PLANTS There is in course of erection at Armstrong an evaporating plant'wliich will employ 50 men and 100'women and girls for eight or nine months in the year. The.plant is one of Ihrcc which Thc Graham Co., Ltd., will operate in the Okanagan. The. other Iwo are located at' Vernon and -Kelowna. ��������������������������� ��������������������������� - It is expected thai.lhe Armstrong plant will be in operation in three wcks, or thereabouts. ��������������������������� In order to find out how much labor is available in thc city and district lo work in lhc evaporating plant, applications arc already being called for from'50 men and 100 women and girls, and the hope is expressed lhat as many local people as possible will, avail themselves of the opportunity io earn some money lhc coming winter, and thus ' lo keep at home the money to be spent in the operation of thc plant. Applications arc also being called for for thc supplying of 1200 cords of fir, green and dry,'in 2-foot and 4-foot lengths. Wc understand thc average price paid for vegetables to thc producer by thc evaporating plant is $8 per ton. While this" figure is low, compared wilh the prices which have been demanded in the past, it i.s certain thai the price allows a living profit to the producer, and, coming at this period, when vegetables-.arc a glut, on the market and thousands ol' sacks' have been harvested in excess of market demands, the cstahlislnuenfVofTlicsc planls~will.be a God-send to lhc Valley. And, while wages paid in plants of this character are not usually high, thc employment of "150 men, women and girls, even at small wages, will bring prosperous conditions lo lhc community.' These evaporation plants are-to. be permanent institutions. They were lhc ono^ thing needed, to put the vegetable industry in the Okanagan on a ���������������������������sal'ersou ncl- basis.--;Nat urn lly���������������������������the-growers-w-hose- flelds are situated closest to the plants will reap 'lhe greatest benefit, for llie hauling charges will he so .much lower.

English friendship Is lo be of short duration. Having attained her purposes, she will quickly discard all who may have gone to her aid. We have the same rights as England. In looking back over the.past,..wc see with regret that we were forced to the sad necessity of siding with Tier on account of our treaty wilh her. It is beyond all doubt lhat a treaty with Germany would have been more advantageous and of a much wider scope in the future for .lapair! Within a short time grave complications* arc going lo present themselves. We will have to demonstrate ..that we are a power of tlie firs I order, one which, is of the same, height..as'England-'and America, and that in so far as 'power' is concerned,'we need have no fear of those two peoples'. Wc are, and will bc for all time, the masters of lhe seas of Asia. Our strength will permit thc realization of the desires, so long cherished, of establishing ourselves on the western coasts of America. We are going to gather great quantities of artillery and ammunition. Today America is supplying thc Allies with arms ancl ammunition against Germany; perhaps the day may come when Germany will supply us against the United States and Australia. The Germans cannot deny that we have Always treated their prisoners in a gentlemanly manner. There will not bc a single (Jerman prisoner who can thr.ow in our face any abuse received. We have anticipated the wants of those heroes, and we have treated their children-and their ���������������������������women and old people with great respect. That 'which we were forced to .undertake., against Germany will be left to be forgotten and it may be possible to so remedy it.thai.Germany will bc. satisfied; but the moment to discuss this point has not yet arrived,. * ' * We will appear on the day of judgment and prove to the whole world that we are a civilized nation-." . While these assertions from Japanese source may not, and should not, cause any alarm, nevertheless, thc future has in store for us much that this extract will give us light upon. CONFIDENCE MUST BE DEVELOPED Confidence is a great thing. Lack of confidence has wrecked national enterprises and sent the pride of empires glimmering. In thc recent financial panic following the coming of war in Europe, the cry of the hour should have been, "Have confidence." Our bankers should have bccYt strong in giving this advice. But they were not. Instead, our financial institutions were the first to show a lack-of confidence. They showed it in themselves when, they refused to do. what the Dominion Government asked them to do, and prepared for them to do. Parliament in its wisdom saw fit, shortly after the commencement of thc war, lo authorize thc issuance of 15 per cent of Dominion bank notes in excess of the paid up capital of lhe banks, which'would have meant an additional $30,000,000 to the circulating medium of Canada���������������������������sufficient to have sustained the confidence of thc people, until lhe business of thc Dominion could have been readjusted to meet the new conditions thrust upon us. But thc banks refused to put out this additional currency. On thc contrary they at once started thc big squeeze. This in turn brought about failures", and thc loss of confidence between wholesaler and retailer, and between retailer and consumer. As was said by the Rcgina Daily Province a year ago: "All the assistance which the Government of Canada is endeavoring to give to the people through the medium of the banks is being .held up- by the banks for their own additional security. Every business in ���������������������������effi*nRi"g^it^ been cut off. Farmers suffer. , The security of the wheal, which is belter than gold, is no longer taken. Municipal governments suffer. Canada is as badly oil', in fact, as if she were without banking facilities. The assistance the government extended lias not reached the people���������������������������has not passed beyond thc control of the banks. Credit is practically non-existent, and without credit the business fabric cannol hold together."

Not that thc article in question is voicing lhe ollicial mind of Japan, nor can it have any"ell'e.cl upon the present Kuropean complications, but it does indicate that dee]) down in the heart of lhe ambitious*'Nippon lhat confidence and you strike at the very foundation of business. In hiking the position they did, it is generally admitted lhat the banks of Canada did more lo bring about lack of confidence than all olher institutions combined. And they.have insisted upon continuing their grab-all policy. True, business still survives, in a. measure, but it survives inspile of tlie banking policy not due to it. Wholesalers, in most cases, have slill retained lhe confidence lhc retailers have merited, and retailers have, in a like measure, refused to bc stampeded by the- banks' lack of confidence policy, while communities arc shaping their business so as lo be'independent of the banks. Enderby is, one of those "communities. And if there is a community on earth that should have confidence in itself it is this district of which we are a part. And wc must exercise that confidence by expressing it in action. The'Northern end of lhc Okanagan is recognized as the best for the -small farmer and horticulturist. -The soil is thc most fertile; it is well watered and heeds no irrigation.. It has- high lands and low lands, suitable for every kind of farming and fruit raising. This one and all of us know. It never has been a question of doubt. Ancl our business-people and agriculturists generally have proven themselves reliable and efficient insofar as the district has developed. There is, it is Irue, niucji yet to he done by all of us to bring the district into its own, in the matter of fuller growth and development, but these things musl come gradually. Parchment The Dominion law against the selling "of butter without the words "Dairy Butter" or "Creamery Butter"���������������������������as the case may be���������������������������printed on the butter wrap, is a blessing in disguise to the average farmer...,. In the first, pjace^ n_ jus .Butter __' wrappers are neatly printed with his name and the brand of the butter on the label, the storekeepers qan readily sell the butter at 5c a pound more than he can get for butter wrapped in paper that is not printed, andthe butter-maker gets the advantage in 5c a pound more for his butter from the merchant. It is the duty of every butter maker to comply with the law in this matter. Some butter makers have on ly a cow or two; and make so little butter that it does not appear to them that they��������������������������� can afford to have their butter wraps printed. They do not like thc idea' of having 500 or 1000 butter wraps on hand. To accommodate this class of butter makers, The Press has printed up a quantity of "Custom" Butter'Wraps. They are printed with the words "Fresh Dairy Butter" but do not bear the name of the maker. * However, these wrappers fill the requirements of the law governing this point, and can be bought in small quantities at the rate of 50c a hundred in 100 or 50 lots.

Bitter Complaint Against City's Method of Assessing Editor End cry Press: Dear Sir: In a rccenl issue of the Press I was pleased to read a gratifying'report of.Ihe finance committee. If I remember rightly, lhis ���������������������������is Ihe first report ever made since lhe city's incorporation, attempting to deal with the crying injustice of lhe assessment' as usually made by the cily. I consider it a great step forward, that the present council should be able to see the injustice being done, now and in the past, to the holders of farming lands within the city limits,' and to express a desire to find a means of remedying thc evil and lhe injustice that is being done., - It is a safe thing to say that at the present time every holder of-farm "land within the city limits is anxiously looking for a way out, either by selling his land, or, what is more likely to 'happen, by abandoning it, and leaving it to go to waste. Undoubtedly these owners will do this unless relief is forthcoming. They will get out of their holdings by some means, and it is therefore a matter of vital interest to the city to keep- people on these lands'and not to drive the few good citizens^ away that are now struggling with the problem���������������������������I might say, the - impossible problem���������������������������of making both ends meet. - In every oilier place where I have looked into the methods orVippointing an assessor a, great effort.is made to appoint a suitable and competent one, capable-"of "using,good judgement . and . sound y sense. ' These places^ make'an honest effort'to assess justly and evenly, and they see that the".assessor does his duty, whereas the '"'method ��������������������������� inaugurated by Mayor Bell-for Enderby, advertises for the. cheapest "'and necessarily'the most inefficient man to be founds with the result that no assessment" ever-.made'by the city has been^ according to right arid-justice as between all parties, and Lain reliably-informed is entirely illegal and incorrect., .. - Vlt might-interest, some, of your readers to have'recalled the original arrangements'entered into prior to incorporation. They.,can then see for themselves how far the city has kept its word, and howy utterly, incapable" the ..men have-beeny who have been appointed assessors.'. ,���������������������������_Prior to assessment, my farm was 'di*ra"."paying basis, making a small annual sum tothe.'good-. ��������������������������� Since incorporation, "although I.have tried e,very possible way, and made.great efforts, it is . impossible to'make both ends meet,.for the reasons set. forth further on in this article-. After a great deal of discussion it was arranged and .understood that the Bell"block should be the pivot for valuation of the lots con round the brick block about $20,000 of public .money (independent of local improvement) , have been spent, hearing no direct revenue in the shape of interest to the city, only a few hundreds have been spent in thc rural district-*" in th'e same time. Speaking of my own personal experience: at lhe first assessment my property was Gut up,inlo about a dozen parcels by the assessor; no legal, description was given or attempted, and the Ihen mayor ruled that this was .the correct method. Prior to incorporation my yearly assessment was about $30. The first, year after incorporation I thing it was about $80. 1 could gel no hearing or-appeal. I then managed to sell from lime to lime small parcels of land, hoping to keep my assessment down, to find thai, every lime the price of lhe-sold portion was promptly added to my , previous assessment. The failure to legally describe my properly was continued and aggravated by every year carefully altering lhc numbers on the assessment roll so that it was practically impossible for anyone to follow the assessment consecutively, or lo identify other than by guessing any particular so-called parcel. This brings us" to the years 1911 and 1012. Finding I could no longer meet the taxes as levied under this system, I decided-very reluctantly to sell my old home site, that was much' the best piece-of properly belonging to me, in order definitely and once for all, lower my assessment. Mr. Editor, imr agine my disappointment and disgust to find that during my absence my assessment riot only was not lowered biit that .the assessment was increased in that one year from $6,160 with improvements valucd_at $1,000, to the sum of $15,225 with improvements- valued at $600, including the assessment in each case levied upon the parcel sold. In the same year' of 4912 the assessment ^C. SKALING, B. A. Barrister, Solicitor, Notary Public. % ----- |Money to Loan -. Beli: Blk.

HENDRICKSON, Proprietor Next the Fulton Block, Enderby stituling the townsite; and that- iiU other lots should be assessed from' lhat.block according to distance, and-location; in' other words, once having agreed upon a price for that particular block, .and thereafter, it being found advisable to" raise'its valuation, all other blocks were to go up in value pro rata. The town- site ceased south at Mr. Barnes' line, west along my line, north at Knight street. Other, additions-, if made, were to be considered on their mer- itst.r__To-=arrivc^aU=an=_1assessment_ value for the suburban and farm lands, it was agreed that the assessment, should come from the outside values, and bc valued inwards until the valuation struck the' townsite lines: in other avords, if the Government, assessment'on farms adjoining mine were $20 per acre, my farm would be $20 per acre, except where it struck the townsite lines where jt struck a street line, or was manifestly nearer the railway, when that portion would necessarily be made to carry an increased /Value. That arrangement was a fair and just one, and if it had been carried out honestly the citv would not bc in the dilemma il 'is today, because it would not have submitted to an excessive'valuation, which valuation, Mr. Edilor, was wholly fictitious; neither would the farm holders at present be suffering from an intolerable act of injustice, against which, unless the city acts justly of its free will, Ihey have po remedy except by a long and costly lawsuit against the city. , V To every city there-is.a city district proper (town lots), an urban and intertirban and rural district. The assessment in" these varies according to" the qualification and to the amount of improvements invested by-the city in'..them. t Apparently it has never occurred 'to our worthy assessors to apply'the variations'so ��������������������������� to the property comprised within the city limits, but to" save themselves trouble, and without regard to the public interest" and good, they have gone on from year to vear putting everything to their of a dead level valuation' on the basis1 of city lots. If the city had during the years that are past spent the public moneys evenly and spread them equally, that would not be so much . to be said, but, whereas, on the brick block, the pivotal point was lowered $3,450. Mr. Editor, do you think that this assessor; whoever he^yas, could or would swear that this1 farm, or indeed" any other farm of likeysize, increased in agricultural value -to this amount in one year. The assessor is' the public servant of the council'and is liable to them if he does anything in his assessment that; misleads; the council. He is liable for the financial loss occasioned' through"- his .carelessness. This excessive charge has remained against niy'f arm ever" since, and on] attempting to appeal,- I. was "-in-* formed"! was too late";r then"on at-" tempting'the.-following year,'I was informed that no ^appeal could r be taken:'against the*:'previous year's assessment, but *I find'"that-a'city, is like an individual and is liable.at any time to .correct an error or to remit "an overcharge. The city, like an individual, cannot evade .its responsibilities without serious detriment to itself'and the residents. Again, in the year 1913.J sold an acre���������������������������'the best acre I had on hand��������������������������� for the sum of $1200. .As city politics had somewhat changed, I thought 1 would try again to reduce mv assessment, but,.Mr. Editor, the same thing ' happened1' .as before: the amount of my sale .was added to my assessment and was.not deducted, and the remaining acres in that particular block were promptly assessed at the price realized ��������������������������� for the one sold. ��������������������������� I might say there is only one niore acre of equal value to the one sold, and 2 1-2 acres, when' disposed of, must go for about $10 per -acre .as pasture. I hold, Mr. Editor, that ttys is not :assessing.=^It^is^openly_^taking= money out of one man's pocket and. putting it into another's without justification or reason. I am willing and ready to pay my just share of taxation, and am sure the other owners of farm land are with me in this, but this open robbery which has been going on for years must bc stopped now and thc city must make-amends. A community to bq, prosperous must bc content, and lor a community to be content, it must not only bc prosperous but its individual members must also feel and know that they arc being justly and honestly treated by,thc governing bodies constituting its com- niunilv. life. This is the simplest lesson in political economy and is unanswerable. I recently received a circular letter from the.finance committee calling mv attention to arrears of taxation suk! pointing out that tlie exceptional advantages of living within thc city were so greaj, that it should be'worth the effort, to try .and square 'off outstanding taxes. Mr. Editor, if the amiable compilers, of that circular letter will kindly show me in the columns of your valuable paper wherein, my farm enjoys any more city advantages than, say Mr. Murphy.'s farm, I should deem it a favor, and they would bc .filling a public duty. The two farms adjoin, and are similar in character. Mr. Murphy's farm is outside the city limits, my farm is within. I do not know the government assessment on Mr. Murphy's farm, but I do know that I have 20 acres on|#ide the city limits-and-adjoining-and that the government assessment thereon is $20 per acre; also-the city assess this 20 acres at $20 per acre for school purposes, the same as the government. Can the finance committee or anyone else explain to mc .why my farm inside the city is assessed'> three times higher than ray farm and,* presumably, Mr. Murphy's farmV outside the city? Mr. Murphy's"'farm enjoys city water at city rates and pays thereon no contribution to lhe sinking funds of lhe city. Whilst the city is legally liable to supply city water all over my farm, still they do not do so, but. compel me to put in a pumping plant thereby indirectly forcing me to pay a higher, water rate, whilst -my farm has to' contribute its share to the sinking funds of the city. Your readers will see therefore, that under present conditions it is impossible, to farm within the city limits, however much one may desire to do so. If you compare this city and its policy and ils results with that of neighboring ..cities you are struck by the marked difference. Take our neighbor, Armstrong.' At an early date thc public men there recognized the need of a suburban population and they offered every public facility to the owners of- adjoining-farms to induce this kind of population to settle there. The result is that Armstrong today has a goodly number of ncarby'but out of to,wn residents spending their money iri Armstrong, making for it and helping to beautify ils surroundings. , -Armstrong - attracts'. Compare tliis poition with our's. Every effort in-thc past has becii made by the city to keep the subuN ban population away, .with" thc re? suit that is only too apparent to all:, Enderby in her public policy repels. Are we, Mr. Editor, arriving at a time when her policy will; be one of attraction, not-repulsion? ���������������������������' Thanking you for allowing me so much of your valuable space, I am, Yours truly, ' Gkoiuji- R.

LATEST WAR SUMMARY London, Ocl. 20.���������������������������The race for thc road lo Conlantinople has reached an exciting stage. The Bulgarians are wilhin a few miles of forming junction with their Austro-Gcrman allies, while the French in small force already have joined the Serbians. The French arc nol in sullicienl numbers lo assume an actual offensive in "Macedonia, but the rapidity of the Bulgarian advance in that region already has diminished. Along thc old Bulgarian frontier, from a point northeast of Vranya to lhe Roumanian border the Serbians arc yielding lillle ground. Actual junction between thc Bulgarians and their allies, which may bc a matter of only a few hoiirs, will soon show whether the Serbians* arc able to hold their mountain positions until the Entente Allies bring up slrong forces. Ilalv is still hammering away at the Austrian front,,which is shaking, but unbroken. It i.s expected in London that the Italian offensive will at least prevent thc Austrians from crcinforcing their Balkan army. " Russia by her stubborn defense of Riga and Dvinsk, and her con- linued offensive in Galicia, is keeping thc cnem> busily engaged along the whole eastern front. In the West there is evidence that the Allies are- again preparing'for an offensive which may prevent tne Germans from ���������������������������diverting*'any of their forces there. SOON TO COME TO A HEAD London, Oct. 25.���������������������������(By F. A. Mackenzie.)���������������������������Thc parliamentary crisis is expected to come to a head shortly. Two views exist here concerning thc crisis. One party, led by thc Chronicle, maintains that the crisis is the result of a deliberate plot engineered by Lord Northcliffe, with thc sympathetic support of Lloyd George for lhc ousting ol Asquith, Gray, Balfour and Kitchener from the cabinet. They main- lain that any attempts to displace thc present government can only create chaos and imply that one section of the Cabinet is deliberately disloyal to thc Government. "What we'should bc left with,' says the Chronicle, "would bc a divided nation, paralyzed administration, and no new grouping of ministers which could command cither parliamentary or national support." "The House of Commons, in which thc sober men of all parlies cannot fail to sec where the land lies, can blow lhis conspiracy away this week if it likes. Lei it bc so." Thcother section regards lhe crisis as the direct outcome of Ministerial mistakes, and denies in- The Times declares: ^Sensible men will be well advised io ignore the altogether fantastic tales of intrigue against . the Government, which obtained fresh currency from poisoned pens lasl week. None of them, as far as we know, have the smallest foundation in fact. The limes in which we live are infinitely too serious to offer any hope ol success of personal ambitions of a kind not unknown lo normal politics.

Foreigners, who in limes of peace were thought of as waiters, hotel keepers, musicians, must in limes of war be thought of as hordes of anti-Christs, enemies of mankind. War, other things being approximately cqifal, is won by the nation wilh the strongest will, and the way lo strengthen your will to light is lo think of your enemy as base, brutal and feeble, and of your side as strong, gallant, clever.
