A valued correspondent in Regina who was bom in Prince Edward island‘ sends The Guardian some information ‘with regard to Hungar- ian partridges, which Ire thinks bright ibe pmuulbly added to n..- list of our native game birds. It appears Ithslt this new variety of partridges was brought to Alberta souls ten years ago and have since rapidly increased in numbers there. There are now thousands oi them. It has been found necess-

ary to protect them to acertain ex- tent against the guns of the sports- men who are hereafter to be lini- itcd to a daily bag of ten birds and 50 for the season.

These beautiful birds have tilri»! en in Alberta and are replacing the native partridge and the prair- ie chicken which were disappear- ing as the ‘country became settles They are very swift of flight a d they produce large families 0i’ chicks. lrarely less than sixteen at o hatching. The impression is that these birds are adapted to thrive

b,» the way, there should be some thin-g doing at ‘bnce if the birds are to he imported from the west this yieaq, as our correspondent suggests. -—-0- PAY YOUR INCOME TAX

Saturday, Alpril 30, is the last day for the payment of the Do- minion Income Tax. The law throws upon the til-Illa??? U16 dill)’ of stating exactly what his income is and of filling up the necessary blank forms. This return must be accompanied tby at ileflsl ‘l5 Del‘ cent of the tax due.

It would ‘be better that the en- tire its; should be paid at once, but the taxpayer is permitted to pay the rest in three installments two, four and six months after April 30—-with 6 per cent interest from that date.

Remember that there are very serious pains and penalties for ne- glect ito make rreturn, or if you put your income too low. Thelaw fix- es these penalties and the govern- ment officials have no power to

in any one of the Canadian pl'0-- vinces, and that measures should be taken to Iiave them introduced throughout the Dominion.

The Alberta government has tak

en steps to have the Hungnrial. Partridge czolonised in all sections cf ‘that province and our corres- pondent adds that if other provin ces east. or west should desire to ‘share in the production of these game lblrds and the sport tlla-l ‘would follow, the government of Alberta would be glad to accommo- date thenl. \\'hat say our local sponts men of the Fish and Game Assoc- lBIClOH? rOr perhaps the provincial goiferrlnenlfl woulldi undertake to lorrespond with the Alberta author- ities on theusubject. There are many Islanders in Al ilerta, one or more oi them In the government. They have planted the famous island silver fox out there, and we appreciate the spir- it of reciprocity which would give us some game lylrds in return. Ami‘ ’/

. The LIgIl-t, Heat and Power Act constituted tlhe storm centre of the legislature for a considerable pol‘- tion of thebusiness period», taking a prominence second only to Cur-I rent Comment and the Qluzrdianf in vehement discussion and declsm-' action, It was glowlngly dilated up-: 0n by the Prc-luler in Ills budget speech and idolized as the cornu-l copia. from which was lo flow a_ stream of ‘usefulness, comfort and‘ contentment which, as like oil up“ on the troubled waters would soothe the turbulence and tiiscon-z tent against the Government, in‘ the country, and establish the truce of pence. S0 sweet- was it!

in prospect that at the outset it was glloriled in as n Government accomplishment, lbut later on its

value as a party inspire-tor resolv- ed into a question of doubrand it ‘became an albsndoned foundling, relegated to the non-political mer- cics of the House. And there it

a public enterprise it was en- couraged. as very properly it should be. Such a project, carried out in‘ the proper business spirit, should‘ he of enormous-l benefit to the pro- vince, but at the same time private rights should lhe protected, and the tendency to give away too much in the nature of monopoly ‘to ‘be care- fully guarded agaiinst, and the leg- islature has not gone beyond rea- son in this.

And yet it Ialmlost proved thc hidden rock upon which the Bell Government struck ltlo its doom. in fslct if it were not for the gel- atinous nature of the comiblnation.

further strengthened by the ad- hesive influence of a $2,000.00 stipend, crowned with an addi-

tllonall $500.00 Indemnity, there is serious doubt as to whether it would not have produced collapse. The rpliinlcipnl figure in the contest was the lion. Attorney General Johnston. fit seems marvelous that s high official of a govern- ment, not only elected lby the peo- ple lto safeguard their interests. ‘but s-Iso receiving s large salary,

'hsvo imposed upon them.

iif you undelltstute your income by a trifling amount up t-o one tenth you will have to pay income tux on the deficiency with 10 per cent interest. if Ilhe deficiency is 20 per cent or lilore the whole of the unreported income is tok- en. Thus, ‘if you istate your in- c-ome as $4,500 when it is really $5,550. you arc fined $1.150 lic- sidles the unpaid ‘tax.

Ilf you are late in sending in your return 25 per cent is added to ‘your tax. -A false statement as to your incolne may be punished with a $10,000 fineyand six months in jail, There are other“penalties for lesser offences, even if your

error is unintentional. I-t is assumed that the great bulk

of our people are honest and desire to Ipay their fair share of necessary taxes. The penalties imposed on those who neglect -or refuse to pay, or who fraudulently understate the amount of their incomes are heavy but they are just and necessary.

of the act will be liberally inter- preted to facilitate the success of

their enterprise. By a spirit of fllIelltlly co-opel-ution such a cou- cern, if developed within the pro- uliseil scope, should prove financi- ally renlunerative to those who un- dertako its operation, and likewise a great benefit and advantage to our people.

In that election Mr. King pledged hinlself to make no change In the tariff unless and until the country had an opportunity m pro- nounce upon lllg question. “Do not Icl them (the Government) de- QOWH you." he said, "the Liberal party would never think of touch» ing the tariff policy of this country before n general election." Now this was ll specific pledge, given without reservdlion. Yet the same MI’.

Even pronounced low tariff men like Mr. i-Icndcrs. an wax-president of the Manitoba Grain Growers. could not swallow IMrfKIngX-l folly. - Having thus revealed himself In a game of double-dealing as well as willing i0 commit the country to a desperate discredited pol-icy, ‘Mr. King capped the climax of n mad week h-y engineering, or per- mitting his followers lo engineer a fillihustcl‘ against n proposition which reduced to its simples: terms mgrely uskod that tho Gov- ernment live up lo its contracts.

The party which in 1913 had fought so hard to have ship- building established in Canada (Mr. Puzsley urged it even though it turned out a financial loss) the Liberals saw in the programme not only an altempt to foil Von Tir- pltz. but also s vindication of their stand and leaders of the pariv Iilos Mr. Lemleux and ‘Mr. Field-- Ina lauded the proposal f dlcies.
