Phon IS OBJECTION TO ONTARIO USING OUR REVENUE Tax on Liquor; Consumed Here uoes 10 Aiq Provinces Where No Liquor Sold. This article has nothing to do wilh the controversy between Prohibitionists and Modera-fionists over (he liquor question, says Vancouver's new paper, "Tlie .Star." II refers merely I o the queslion of who is entitled lo Hie customs revenues exacted from Iho sales of liquor in this province. are all familiar wilh Ihe large profits made hy the H. C. Liquor Control Hoard in ils operations, because the government, makes the hoard hand over half the net prollls lo the municipalities for hospital and educational purpus.es, and uses its own 'share for road building. Hut the pro lit that the local gov-emiuenl makes and shares with the public is negligible com pared with the profit made by the Dominion government. Ottawa, through Ihe customs olTi- rers. impose a lax of nearly 2 a bottle on liquor entering llrit-ish Columbia. Usually this is twice what the stun" costs in Scotland at Ihe distillery. Fifty cents oui or every dollar handed over the counters at Ihe government store; goejj lo Ottawa. Who gels it? . Is Distributed. Speaking in general terms, it is distributed to all Ihe provin ces in a per capita distribution, in the annual grants made frtm the consolidated revenues for carrying out public works. Or if I lie phrase doe no seem an absurdity under present circum stances il goes "lo Ihe relief of taxation." Hehig a luxury, il is right that liquor should contribute generously to the, treasury. Hul what color of right lias Ontario, for instance, lo get Jhe lion's share of the revenue from Hie sale of liquor in British Columbia? Ontario is a "dry"' province, Longago it decided for ils own pure self that il would neither touch, taste nor handle the unclean thing sold by Ihe Scotch distilleries. Unoffi cially, of course, il is a patron "I Ihe bootlegger and moonshiner who contribute nothing lo the treasury. What Ontario does is its own business. Nobody here would be so presumptuous or interfer ing as to wan I lo" meddle with its decisions on the liquor queslion any more than we relish Ontario folk meddling wilh our own decisions on purely H. C. mailers. Hut having decided not to touch, taste or handle liquor or lo raise a cent of revenue from it for Ottawa, why should il share in the profits of liquor vending in Hrilish Columbia? Comes Back In Loan. The Harbor Hoard is gelling a loan of $5,000,00(1 from Ottawa fir harbor improvements. Hy an odd circumstance it may 4o part or the i8ft.000.000 which Ottawa look from us in liquor lax-ies last ycin.

It will save for you, too, if you use it properly. It will save you money by pointing out real bargains, by telling you of true values, by giving you prices to compare and by telling you how much you should pay. It will save you time and effort by telling you exactly where and when to go for what you want to buy. You don't have to "shop around." It will save you disappointment by telling you just what you can expect from your purchases. Every time a merchant or manufacturer advertises, he obliges himself to sell you goods that fulfil his claims. He knows it doesn't pay to advertise unworthy wares.
