Some‘ way the change from a long-continued opall cf mild weath- er to a colder atmoophere on Satur- day last gave a more ‘Christmas feeling all around. The streets were thronged in the afternoon and early evening with those on shop- ping errands and the stores, post uillce und express oﬁlce were kept busy particularly with that part of the Christmas trade which consists of the purchase, sale and distribu- tion of parcels and presents which ure destined for friends abroad. Evidently the‘ admonition to do one's holiday shopping curly has uot been altogether unhceded.

The holiday shopping season has opened early and with good pros- pects of a lively trade during the

effect on the first of next. mouth, has produced dismay in businessl circles. and hopes are entertained that the date on which it is to come into effect will be deferred by Order-lu-Councli so as to glveI the government a chance‘ to repeal! the intolerable lmpost. industry- and trade in this country are carry-I ing on under heavy handicaps at the present time, and this six per cent. tax would wipe many struggl- ing businesses out of existence."

As the date for bringing this tax into effect has been set for January 1st, it is evident that the govern ment has little time and probably little intention to make the hoped- for change. At present the govern- ment has no time for anything but to wiu the bye-election in Kent County. Nil. For several weeks past it devoted its time to tiho win- ning of the bye-cloction in Halifax. but it lost the time and the election its loss. however, was the country's gain as the millions promised the constituency before the election will not now be spent. In his speech in Saskatoon a few days ago the Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen madethe statement that millions of dollars had ‘been appropriated for the pur- pose of buying the Halifax elec- t-iou. What has been and is being spent~or promised-dc Kent Coun- ty has not yet been deﬁnitely sum- med up. but. certainly that modest county ‘had never before had such an alluring prospect before it in the matter of public utilities. at least in the mutter of promises.

It had ibeen hoped that the next budget would show either a reduc- tion in the natidnal debt or u pros- pect of reduced taxes. but evidently there ls-uow little room for this hope.
