It is to be hoped that a bill now before the Ontario Legislature, enti- tled “An Act to amend the Industrial Farm Act,” will not become law. The proposed aet provides that when lands are taken for such a purpose without the consent of the owner, the value of the land so taken “shall be the value thereof as fixed by the last revised assessment with 20 per cent of the assessed value added thereto." Some of the farms along Yonge St. have recently been sold for probably five times the price of their assessed value. If a man's property is taken from him without his consent surely he is entitled to what his land will The Economist insinuates that the detectives may have been dishonest, saying that “there is a possibility that the wine was doctored after the hotel~keeper sold it, and before it reached the department.” That is hardly fair to the detectives who were sent by the Ontario Government to perform a very unpleasant duty. There is generally a prejudice against detectives, who have to do their work secretly, and yet the people expect the Government to see that strong drink is not sold in local option dis» tricts. The hotel-keeper may have sold the liquor innocently, but that is a matter to be settled between him- self and the firm from whom he pur“ chased. Last week’s Markham Economist argues that a. fine of 3100 should be remitted to the proprietor of the hotel at Ringwood, who was recently fined for selling liquor containing twelve per cent; of alcohol, in a local option constituency. The proprietor claimed that the wine, which was labelled “John Murray & Son, London, Ont,” was guaranteed to be nonâ€"intoxicat- ing, in which case he should be able to secure damages from the manu~ facturers. The charge was laid by detectives from the Provincial License Department who purchased the wine from the hotel-keeper. The G overnment was non-commital in its answer to the deputation. More of the matter will undoubtedly be heard, as the petition revealed a Wide-spread revolt among the young men of the Conservative party on the temperance question. “Supporting loyally as we have done, and as we do now, the general record of the present Government and its many advanced policies, it would be with reluctance that we should find ourselves obliged to for- sake the Conservative party in order to see a Liberal Temperance proposal through, but if the present situation continues we will feel morally bound to pursue that course.” “That you pass an Act in the Legislature abolishing all liquor shop, bar and Club licenses in the Prov- ince, such legislation to come into effect onlyâ€"and thereupon automat- icallyâ€"after a majority of votes have been cast in its favor, in a plebiscite on the question presented to the peo- ple within a year after the passing of the said Act.” The memorial signed by the deputation represent- ing the Executive, declared : Quite the most significant event of the week was the deputation of Con- servative Members of the Ontario Young Manhood Association, which waited upon the Government and presented a petition signed by 9000 Conservatives asking for more ad- vanced Temperance Legislation by the Government.

In some townships farms are assessed for only 50 per cent of their value; in other townships the rule may be 75 per cent. It would be a great injustice to force a man to sell for whatever price the assessor chose to assess his land, plus :20 per cent, or even 50 per cent. : PHONE 16~R 2 O §§§§§§§§§§§§O§§Q¢§§OO+§§¢§§N+§§§§§§O§OOO§Q§§O§O06¢ 0090§§§§§.§§O§§§§§§§§§§§Q§ §§§§§§096§§§§§O§§Q§§§O§§§O . o Exclusiveâ€" Mnde-to-Meusux'c Tailor- ing.
