' Advertising and Circulation Telephone 98 Editor and Reporters Telephone 8fi ' Member of Audit Bureau of Circulations .1 The city council at its meeting Wednesday night decided nto ttsk for the abolition of the fifteen per cent penalty for 'non-payment of taxes and ask that the penalty be set at opiothing between fifteen and five. Nanaimo city is asking for reduction to five per cent. Tiie penalty 'f or non-payment is impoEedvfor the purpose of inducing peqple to pay their taxes on time so that the citjMnay not have .to borrow money to carry on the neces-! isary work. If ome do not psy others must pay more to allow the work to proceed, the rate balng set that much lllfiher to provide for uch a contingency. Under present conflitions taxes are coming in well and people are making an. effort to Jay up regularly. If a change is made there is no telliiig what may be the result. It is claimed fhat in Ontario the rate is five per cent but five per cent means much more to a person in Ontario than It does in Briti A 'Columbia. Money, not valued in ihis province aB uj&anywnere else in thf Dominion. The people look at things differently. Jt is hardly iikely that the legislature will agree to reduce the penalty to five per cent because the members understand the situation, but there is a possibility that it will be reduced to -something like ten per cent, and that may be a good thing. If there is hardship without corresponding benefit in the present system, then it should be changed, but if the benefits are not commensurate with the disabilities no change -should be made. Good news arrived from Ottnwn "vVprinpsln wv,0n ?f was announced that the railways would provide for ten thousand men during the winter on construction and improvement work. That is a pretty good start in the employ- uioiu Luinpaisn, dui a great aoai more will be necessary. Provision must be made so that none will go hungry asa result of lack of employment. Many men are not as drab.as they look. u AC Wvtv iCT&v a, n rv knIa Lf JFitiJ aer.w;i 11 111 f 1 im . jk "vtautHf Mill f ft IM .Ctfl V i!
