THKY Oh Ell FIVE MILLIONS j According to the word received from Ottawa at the week-end j the brewers and distillers are now paying up a sum of something like I five million dollars they owed the government. What it is difficult I to understand is how they could have got behind that much. Most i people feel that they have to pay their taxes and do so promptly, but here is a case where a great deal of latitude was allowed by official of the department, much more than seems reasonable. In I'rino Ruifi- v.- find tlw Dominion government is pretty keen to ir, ! its taxi'- paid up. li tl.t-v are not uaid. a stern reminder is given, and righ'iy -o. IVnpi.- do i;ot mind having to pay if all are treated ali -e. V. i:a; annoys is being forced to pay promptly when ethers are al'nued all ki:;ls ill latitude.

Hi Arthur t'uriie's libel case ii fixing i iiagj to those who taave'ibsjea the -butts of irresponsible1 people uuo are continually broadcasting general charges which in inai y cases are without foundation in fact. Recently one of the Regina aldermen Made a statement that members of Parliament had been trafficking in immigration permits, lie was summoned to appear at Ottawa to lay his evidence before the committee of the House which ia just now hearing evidence in repard to immigration matters. While we realise that it is difficult to always back up statements with proper legal evidence, we are also of opinion ' that charges should not be made without a very clear chain of evidence behind them. To make statements that members of Parliament are doing something irregular, reflects on all the members. We do not believe our own member ia guilty of any such thing as trafficking in immigration certificates and the chrages made by the alderman should be cleared up so that his name may be cleared in connection with this. PERMITTED TO POSf SIGNS ON BOARDING AROUND NEW THEATRE In response to a request made by a delegation of adjoining business men consisting of Steve King. Max Hellbroner and Joe Brown, the city council last night decided to permit the posting of sip iui on the boarding surrounding the new theatre sue on Third Avenue providing the owners of th boarding are wUllng. Steve King pointed out that the b-.arrt'rit ijr-tmdlng Into the road, ob jured his premises and he waa desirous ;t putting up a sign so that people would know where he waa. He did not wish to put up advertising matter. City Solicitor Jones knew of no bylaw which would prevent this being done providing the owners of the boarding were willing. Joe Brown stated that, although be :ad the permission ot the owners of he boarding to put up a sign, the city engineer had ordered him to take It town. It wai decided, on motion of Aid rudhemme neennded by Aid Rudder-m. to allow the posting ot the signs squefVd providing there waa no In-nnseuie.it of the bylaw.
