THE FAILURE OF THE COMPANIES ACT Vancouver, Sept. 30.—Evidence was given today at the Taxation Commission favoring the exemption from taxation of all outside capital invested in the province. . The Companies Act recently introduced by Mr. Bowser was sirongly condemned. A number of business men declared it has an unjust tendency to keep outside firms from doing “:usiness in B. C. The majority of those giving evidence favored the retention of the poll and income taxes. The above dispatch will have a familiar Jook to all who read the newspapers on Saturday. But its importance at the present time warrants it being given a second day’s emphasis. It means that within a few months of being put in operation, the clauses of the Companies Act taxing extra-provincial companies doing business in the Province, are having precisely the effect that all competent observers prophecised they would have; namely, to hurt the trade of the Province. It is not suggested that the Premier and Attorney General of the Province intended to cripple the trade of the Province when they placed the obnoxious clauses in the Companies Act. Recent utter- ances by both gentlemen make it very clear that on questions of trade principles, both are sublimely ignorant. It is quite possible thai they acted in absolute good faith, not realising the inevitable con- sequences of putting shackles on the feet of trade. No one who knows them would think for a moment of accusing Messrs. McBride and Bowser of being statesmen, and it is quite pos: sible that they fel! into the common error of thinking that they could turn taxation into protection by merely thinking of it as such, just as the Christian Science folk say they can remove pain out of the Universe by saying, ‘‘There is no pain.” Unfortunately the money markets are not susceptible to auto- hypnosis, and a capitalist or a corporation confronted with half « dozen requests from various provinces, finds it more profitable tc invest it in either of the eight provinces which do not tax capital and trade, rather in the one that does. All of which is very simple wher you come to think it out. The truth of the matter is that no community can make itself rich by taxing itself, any mdre than a man can lift himself by his bootstraps. Taxation is always a burden and a hindrance. Taxing food makes food less easy to obtain. Taxing salt as they do in India, makes salt a luxury; taxing heraldic emblems as they do in Great Britain makes the work of the Heralds office lighter than it would do if heraldic emblems were free. An increase from $5 to $7.50 ir the dog-tax in Berlin meant the lethal chamber to nine hundred A dog-tax (if high enough) would mean death to every dog The work of economic statesmei canines. in Prince Rupert within a week. is to devise means of taxation so that the least possible amount of hindrance is caused to the commercial progress of the state. ; And in this province that is urgently needing outside capital to come in and develop it, Messrs. McBride and Bowser devised a Companies Act to tax outside capital; in this province which has to buy nearly everything it uses at high prices they proposed to sup- plement the tax against United States products by imposing taxes upon all trading concerns in our sister provinces that sought to supply our demand; in this province of excessively high cost of fire insurance they proposed to impose taxes upon every fire insurance company that came in to do business. i They did not see that the effect of this would be to outside capital, to still further increase the cost of commodities in B. C. and to still further increase the cost of fire insurance. It is to be hoped that the Taxation Commission will be able to let in some economic light into the darkened legislative chambers at keep out Victoria.

Second Avenue a — A TENDERFOOT’S WOOING By Clive Phillips Wolley | AUTHOR OF GOLD, GOLD IN CARIBOO, ETC.) o~e l l bg eS ele arco @ pce eem sence, seater een | “As sooh a5 Ux doctor’s inspection was over, a council of war was held in the dining-room, whilst Jim and the doctor cut themselves vast chunks from the boiled salted beef on the | table. “Pity that the boys did not over- haul some of them,” said Jim. “Yes, it would have saved a huli jot of trouble,” agreed Al, “we could have given them their medicine right there, | Now we've got to take it to them,” “You think that we can’t afford to Jeave things as they are,” asked Rolt. “I don’t think about it. I hain’t | knowed Injuns since I growed grass | high for nothing. When Injuns start jon a racket of this kind, they've got to be wiped ovt or they'll conie back llike chickens to a dowghnut. Ain't that so, Jim?” But Jim was busy eating and lsten- ing. He was not much of a gas bag any way, the men said. But at last even his’ appetite appeased, and he turned from men to the Boss. “I’m afraid that it has got to be, Rolt. There are more Indians out than the boys think, and it’s a vast deai more serious than I like. I saw two bands coming this way on my ride to Soda Creek. I met Khelowna and I’m afraid he has raised the whole country side.” “That’s so,” put in Al. “There ain’t s0 much as an old klooch left at the rancherie since the burning.” “How do you know, Al?” “IT sent one of the breeds to pros- pect.” “Where is he?” “He never came back. I didn't cal- culate as he would, but I thought he'd be better with them than with us if that was the kind of swine he was. Then I sent Dan here and he says they’ve all vamoosed. Don't you, Dan?” “Every last hoof of them.” For a few moments there was a dead silence in the room, the men puffing quietly at their pipes and }staring into the log fire. After so |many years of undisturbed peace, it seemed impossible to believe in a general rising amongst B. C. Indians. It was almost as if the cattle had turned on the cowboys. “What are we to do, Jim?” “Well, Rolt, if these Indians were not Chilcotens, I should say that we had seen the worst of it and it might all blow over, but they are Chilcotens, and Chilcotens are not like other B.C, Indians.” “Oh, them was the Coast Indians is like a pack of wet hens,” put in Al. “These fellows are mean as wolves. They wiped out that survey part yon Bella Coolaa pretty clean,” “That was a long time ago, and all the ring-leaders were hanged.” “That's all you know, Boss. Khel- owna was one of the ringleaders, and he wasn’t hung, worse luck, the ring-leaders were hanged. The fellows they gave up were slaves, that’s all. There wasn’t a Chilcoten amongst thém. Government knowed it, but couldn’t do nothing.” “Do you remember, Doc, that smoke that I thought I saw late yesterday evening?” asked Jim. “In the timber towards Creek?” “Yes.” “I remember, but you don’t think {that that is where they are? If they | had been there they would have seen jus and cut us off.” “I’m not sure of that. They might have been scared that one of us would break back to Soda Creek. It would be safer for them to round us all up here at the ranch.” “You think that they have our commpnications then?” “With Soda Creek and Faircloughs; yes. That’s what I’d try to do if I was in their place. Al's plan is the right one. We had better go them. The first blow is worth a dozen later on, and it won't do to let think we are scared, but we leave a strong guard with you and the ladies.” “Yes, I mean to,” said the Boss, waking up and taking command. “Pick your men to stay Combe.” “How would it be if the doctor, old Toma, two of the breeds, and the Fair- clough boys stayed with you and An- struther. I'm afraid about the Fair- cloughs, here.” “They're in the corral now, Grouse Won't think as we're scared at our own sha dows.” “Go and bring them in, Al.” Al went out and returned presently with two fair-headed young English- men, beef-fed giants, with gaiters and other relics of the Old Country still clinging to them. Until now they had been looked upon with a certain amount of disfavor at the Risky ag not belonging to quite the same class as most of the English importations and as intruders whose small hay meadow hardly justified their exis- tence and the presence of their herd upon the range, but in the straits to which the Rolts had been reduced, the Faircloughs were accorded a very hearty welcome, although their obvi- ous scepticism and too loudly pre- claimed indifference to anything that “a pack of mangy Indians” could do, was a little trying to the old hands. “The Chilcotens have not been near your place yet, Al tells me.” “No, sirree! I guess they know bet- ter,” replied Bob Fairclough, handiing a new Winchester with meaning. “I hope so, indeed, Mr, Fairclough, and I daresay that we exaggerate the danger having ladies and an invalid to take care of. Would you mind staying; with us for a day or two? Half of us @re going out to try to round up Khel- owna and his band, and your presence and your brother's would relieve the tedium of our absence for the ladies, and give them a greater sense of safe- “Why, certainly. Delighted, I am sure, unless you would like to have us men behind. Jack is a capital shot, you know, used to shoot at Wimble- ton, and I can beat him a bit most | times.” ' | Rolt smiled at the ingenuous state- jment, but he wanted men who could jhit something more difficult than a |target at a measured two yards from a rest. That style | shooting would do from the ranch | Windows, but if it came to shooting offhand from the saddle, ferred to trust some of his boys who hed never heard of Wimbledon. | “Thank you, very much, ithink you must be content wit But I h_ the None of | eut off | alter | them | must | I doubt if they will ever get | believe a word about the rising, and | along with you and leave two of your | hundred | of | he pre-| place of honor, It will be good to know that two such shots are watch- ing over the ladies’ safety. I'll take the trail to-night, Jim.” “Better let me go instead, Boss.” “One of us two must stay, Jim, and you have had your share of fun.” Jim: hesitated, and prepared to ar- | gue. | “Besides, I don’t want the wife to think that there is any serious dan- | ger, and if you stay behind she will not think so much of my going. She will argue that if there was anything | really to be done I should take my | best man with me, See?’ Finally it was arranged in this way, and in the dark, long after the ladies | had retired to rest, Dick Rolt stood for a minute looking down at the fa e | he loved, so white and calmly lovely} Jin the moonlight. It was too white, he thought, and then a hideous vision came to him of how that face might be when he next | saw it. “What a fool I am,” he muttered to | himself, “and all because a parcel of | white livered Siwashes burned my | stacks. Even that was rather herole | for them.” But when he reached over his | horse’s shoulder for Jim's hand, which he gripped hard, his voice had a queer ring in it, “You won’t let any harm happen to her, Jim.” “Not whilst I’m alive,” and if “her” meant Polly to one man and Kitty to another it made no difference since the two were together. Then Rolt turned away from the corrals and rode silently with his men through the night, believing that he had spared his wife the pain of part- ing and hidden from her the risk which he was running, not knowing, kindly foo] that he was, that she had read him like a book; that her heart had yearned to him as he stood silent- ly praying over her, marking but not guessing the cause of her paleness and that she, not he, was the one who had spared the other the pain of that which they knew could not be avoided. A rancher’s wife, like a soldier's, is obliged sometimes to take chances even with the life of her best be- loved. If not there would be no ranch- ing. CHAPTER XIX. “What is your programme, Al?” whispered the Boss, when the ranch lights had died out behind the hog's back. | “I was calculating to make for that | gulch as leads into Grouse Creek. We |} could leave our horses there, and doa }sneak down it to Khelowna’s camp.” “How do you know he is camped there?” “It’s the nearest water to the place | where Jim saw the smoke. He might not be there, of course, but it’s worth | trying. We might get the drop on the | whole outfit if we did a good sneak at night.” “We might, as they won't dream of our assuming the offensive, but it isn't likely. They aren't white men and the woods talk.” “That's so, but if they spot us be- fore we get the drop, it’s only three to one. They'll run, sure.” That is the spirit of the West. Three to one is about a fair match in the eyes of the Western man, if the one is white, with rather heavy odds on the one, and history has proved that the handicap is not too heavy in most cases, although some “fool white,” as Al would have put it, may sometimes “get left.” The Boss, at any rate, seemed satis- fied, and the five went on silently in the darkness, which was of the kind which absolutely obliterates every- thing. A chinook wind was blowing, one of those curiously soft warm winds which occur in British Colum- | bia, cutting the snow off the hills in a few hours like a red hot knife. By their ears they could tell when they | were riding over prairie, for then there was only the whisper of the grass at their feet, or through timber, jfor then the soughing of the trees ;made weird music for them, but in | that solid damp blackness you might have burst your eyeballs in trying to discover the outline of a pine, or tht j}edge of the timber against the sky, | }and your efforts would have been in vain. And yet with the instinct of a hom- jing pigeon, old Al led them steadily on, never complaining of the dark- ness, never hesitating, or asking ques- tions, and his companions felt their way after him, trusting implicitly to! his guidance and to the instinct of | their horses, } “Better get off here, Boss,” Al said | at last. “It’s bad going. Hold on to} your stirrup leather and let your horse come along after me,” but he himself | remained in the saddle, It has to be more than bad going to persuade an old cowboy to foot it, “Who's that blundering idiot?” he hissed a minute later as some one broke a stick, “can’t you move your) hoof without knocking the trees down, lf they ain't deaf they'll hear that in Sody Creek bar.” Though the old man's language was more picturesque than accurate, a good many things seemed to have heard that unlucky stick. Until it broke, but for the solemn soughing of the trees, the dumbness of the woods had match- ed the darkness of the night. You would have thought that woods and prairie were alike untenanted, had you not remembered that all those who move in them by night, are stalking or stalked, seeking the life of another or shudderingly trying to save their own, As the stick cracked, there was a rus- tling in every bush, a stir in every tree, unseen feet pattered, unseen wings fluttered for a moment, and then again all was still,—listening. As the five paused with all their senses on the alert, a tiny bright red star showed for a moment in the gloom ahead of, and above them. “Gosh! I didn’t know that we were that close,” muttered Al, “If that fool hadn't have touched his fire I'd have blundered right into them, Lie low, boys.” For a quarter of an hour the five |} men lay motionless, and so still was everything that before the fi'teep minutes had passed, the Boss felt con- vinced that the light which they had seen must have been born of their imagination, It could not be that there was any live thing in such a silence as that. But Al did not share | in this feeling. “It's a merey none of the cayuses | whinnied,” he whispered, “but it won't | | | git | was | Dated July 13, 1911, | apply for permission to do to trust them any longer. Let me past you, Boss. Now foller me back, Go easy, and for the love of, life, don’t break any more trees, Dan,” and so saying he led them back by the way they had come. At last he stopped. There had crept into the sky the faintest suspl-| cion of light. Black darkness it would have appeared to most men still, but to these whose eyes had become ac: | customed to the utter dark it sufficed) to show a hollow land. “We'll tle the horses here, and wait e a bit. When we can pretty nigh see our sights, we'll begin our sneak.| They're a blanked sight nearer than) I thought they was.” As he spoke his words were justi fied. The black belt of gloom which sur rounded the hollow in which they lay, suddenly starred in a dozen places by quick red jets of flame, and the silence shattered by the ringing reports of as many rifles, after which the darkness came back eagain and the silence, but for the screaming of a wounded horse. “Guess they beat us on the sneak,” muttered old Al coolly. “Get inio cover, boys, quick.” Probably no white man but Al could have led the ranch posse through those woods at night as silently as he had done. They had stirred no heavy beast to precede them and carry a warning to their foes. There had been no fluttering of disturbed wings in front of their advance, except that once; but a warning need not be printed in large type for an Indian to see it.
