SATURDAY, JULY 138 What looks at first sight like a tax on Bibles has been im- posed by the City Council Prince Rupert. The aldermen, especially Alderman Montgomery, cannot their way to exempt two young colporteurs and Bible sellers from the $50 license fee leviable upon traveling vendors of books in Prince Rupert. There is no doubt that the action of the Council will be reported outside by the young men who are affected by it, and the chances are ‘wat the impression will go abroad that Prince Rupert is a dreadful city where the terrible sanhedrin of the city council bans the sale of Bibles by an iniquitous tax, There arises the question of how many Bibles might have been sold anyway in Rupert, and how many books of sacred character. The chances are that if the colporteurs had been carrying only Bibles they might have easily been excused the tax. There is no import duty on Bibles at the port of Prince Rupert. Dear knows some of us need them bad enough when linotypes are raging for “copy” and the head printer looks grim, or when the gasoline engine says ‘“‘whoof!”’ and quits, while the of see less machine man says other things and gets busy. No, no; it’s not the Bibles Prince Rupert would tax. REGINA UNDAUNTED. : Already in Regina wholesale houses and other places of busi- ness are beginning to rebuild after the disaster of Sunday last. No time is lost by civic and business interests in idle bemoaning. ‘ All honor to the undaunted determination of Regina's citi- zens. The spirit of it is summed up in the following sentence from the Regina Leader—in type before the city’s tragedy was twelve hours old: “Regina is called upon by a Providence whose ways men may not know to face a supreme test. It is a test before which cowards falter and quail. The men and women of Regina will neither falter nor quail.”—Canadian Finance. STILL THE GREAT BOGEY GROWS. Cost of living still soars, according to the latest estimate of the Department of Labor. The continued rise in prices was maintained during May, though not to such a marked extent as during the preceding month. The department's index num- ber, which went up more than a point during April, reached the highest point in the record of the department during May, when it stood at 135.9, as compared with 135.4 in April and 126.1 in May a year ago. This rise of nearly 10 points in one year constitutes a record in the history of the department, and it is a noticeable feature that during the last year th. lowest point was recorded during May and June, while the figures for May this year show an advance over those of any previous month.
