Instead of that it is now tributary to the settled part of the province of Alberta and is served by them. What is needed and that right quickly, is a western out let for the huge district, or perhaps several western outlets.

INHERITANCE TAX The government is securing the passage of a bill in the legislature doing away with the tax on inheritances amounting to less than $20,000. Possibly there is a good reason for this, but so far it has not become apparent. What is cfear is that the government must raise approximately $2),000,000 by taxation of various forms. One of these is tfje inheritance tax. When a man dies, a portion of his estate goes to the government. In Britain this in-hentar.ce:tax is very heavy, but fr,it has nver amounted to verymuch. ; Those who inherit property or meiiey have f not earned it. It comes to thtm as a windfall and if they get $15,000 instead oi$20,0i0 they have not lost anything. They onlv receive less than they otherwise would. It is different from a tax on income or industry. The ideal condition would be one where a large part of the estate after death reverts to the c ;untrv or nrovince. thi the advantage of accumulating. The danger of this'is that 1 1 v.,.... vv, t.,wUUV ncniuiv ucuuie xruiu me province, ii every country had the ame inheritance tax, it would be a good thing to have it very high, especially on lnrge estates. As it is, there is no tax which does so little injury to the individual as a tax on inheritance.
