_ The matter referred to in “Subscribei"s’ lettei' which appears in another column, being of general interest to the public ani: of particular interest to those engaged ii the fox industry ue desire to give as full) as possible the iniormation asked.

With reference to the fox tax we wish tt.

inform “Subscriber" that althougli it was on the program ofthe Fox Breeders’ Meet- ing and thequestion was announced by the chairman “should the Provincial Gov- ernment impose a yearly tax of per head on all foxes in the Province” the matte. was not discussed by tli'e meeting, probab- ly because it was considered prcinature ti do so pending the collection of the arrears of fox tax which is now proceeding. The fact to which our f_foi‘i‘cspoiitlciit i'ci`er_- namely, that some companies and rancher. have paid little or no tax for a number o years has tended no doubt to create dis-_ satisfaction on the part of companies anti ranchers who had been paying their taxes and is probably the cause of the falling oi? in the payment of the tax in the last feu years. But while it may be true that some companies and ranchers who were able tt pay their taxes did not do so, it is not a good reason for others to follow their ex- ample. Speaking generally, it is only fail to say that owing to the sudden slump in fox values at the outbreak of the war, fail- ure in making sales and other reverses. many well disposed companies and ranch- ers, anxious' to meet their obligations found themselves not in a positon to pay their taxes during the past few years, Such cases were deserving of the sympath- etic consderation of the Government and no doubt have been the chief reason why enforced collection of fox tax arrears has been deferred till the present time. If any failure of duty in this respect be attribut- ed to the Government it can well be said that its failure was on the side of leniency and under the circumstances few persons, if any, will blame it for the sympathy shown. It is encouraging to know that during the last three or four years the con- ditions ofthe fox industry have been stead- ily mproving. Companies and ranchers have been 'adding the greater portion of their increases to their ranches, thus low- ering their capitalization until it is now in many cases down to a pelt basis. Fortun- ately, too, notwithstanding war conditions, a good market has been found for our pelts in the United States, where they have been bringing reasonably remunerative prices; so much so that it is no hardship now for ranchers to pay their tax out of the pro- ceeds of pelts. In proof of this we may mention that a few days ago, in conver- sation with a prominent foxman, we were told that the proceeds of 70 silver fox pelts sold at the average price would be suffici- ent to pay the tax on all the silver foxes raised in the province in 1916, or in other words if one rancher out of every six in the province sold one pelt the proceeds would be sufiicient to pay five dollars tax on every silver fox born in 1916. The dis- tribution of large sums of money among ranchers through the Fur Sales Board and other fur dealers during the last few years has renewed confidence in our fox indus- try and if it has not yet placed all ranchers on “Easy Street” it is pleasing to know that it has placed them in a position to eas- ily meet their obligations. In view of these favorable conditions it becomes the duty of the government in fairness to all tax pay- ers to take the course it is now very prop- erly following for the collection of all ar- rears of fox tax.

The Guardian has made enquiries in re-

gard to this matter, and from information received we can assure “Subscriber” that in the collection of arrears, big and small ranchers will be treated with equal fair- ness and that the taxes will be collected in strict accordance with the circular letter mailed to ranchers. From the tone of “Sub-'T scriber’s” letter it would seem that there

t

of ourpeople that in some way some of our foxmen have imbibed a little of the prover- bial cunning of the precious little animal on which they have been bestowing so much attention during the past years. Others go so far as to suggest that there ire foxmen who hope _ through their re- iourccfulness and cunning to evade the payment of their tax altogether. A mom- ent’s thought, however, _is sufficient to dis- sipate all such unfounded suspicions. It cannot be disputed that our foxmen in- ,slude upright farmers, reliable business nen and a numberof public and profes- iional men of the highest standing. ' But t may be said there is a black sheep in ~ev-- rry flock. Well, it would be \vondei'ful ndeed if among 400 or 500 ranchers there were not a few to be found having a lil_t‘e nore cunning than is good for them, but we must remember that one or two swal- 'ows do not make a sum_m_ei‘. In all fair- iess it can be truthfully said of our foxmen that, taken as a whole, they are men of in- tegrity and high standing in their respec-

and most progressive citizens, It is ab-

zvade their duy and let the biirden of their

.Vere possible for them to do so. Is it not

.vould scorn such a coui'se and that they' ire men who know their duty and when tailed upon are ready and willing to do it? Df the truth of this they ‘have given ample iroof by their ready response tothe re- vent call for the payment of the outstand-Y

ing fox tax. We are credibly in'forme<l that already a number of ranchers have

failed at the Treasury Department and paid ‘

nany others have writteii the Ilcpartment iromising remittance by early mail. Th.; reiicrous and clieerful way in which ra_nch~- #rs are respoiiding is very satisfactory to the Department, and indicates that the tax vill be fully paid without resort to the' 'ourts whch will be highly creditable to `oxmen and strengthen public opinion in_ iiir fox industry. If, however, at the close‘ if the collecting campaign any “slackers” ire found they will be obliged to do their, 'luty and they certainly will not have thei iympathy of the ranchers who paid their, iax or of any other of our citizens.

We therefore advise “Subscriber” and'

ill ranchers who think as he does to pay! io heed to the unfounded rumors that may* ‘ie set alioat by mischief-makers, but cheer-_ ”ullv do their duty and pay their taxes as iheir brother ranchers are doing.

_ Mr. James Parkerof the Canada Foodi Board was in Charlottetown this week in; __he interest of the work the Board is doing or the Empire and our Allies, doing to-

loyal acquiescence in the food regulations bv hotels, boarding houses, merchants,

tion is still far from satisfactory and there must still be further conservation if the oresent supply of iiour is to hold out until this season’s crop is harvested. There is still a very serious shortage and this must ‘ie made up from what we would conserve inder ordinary circumstances out of our ‘egular normal supply. The situation sim- oly is that if we in Canada and the United States consume as much flour as we are, consuming at present, even while rigidly observing the regulations, our allies who ‘iave little else to take the place of flour, Lnust starve. A | From data of undoubted accuracy it is

known that at the begining of the present year Great Britain and her allies in Europe required the equivalent of five hundred million bushels of Wheat. To meet this there was available in Canada 110 million bushels; in the United States not a bushel for export; in Argentine 110 million bush- els and in Australia 150 million bushels. Owing to the distanceand lack of trans- portation the Argentine and Australian wheat was not available and America alone was asked to make up the shortage of 391 million bushels. There was only one way in which this could be done, namely to have our people cut down their consumption. The Food Boards of the United States and Canada took hold of the matter. The peo- ple were appealed to, first on patriotic and

districts as to wholly discontine' the use of 1

which they had abundance.

‘wheat bread in all public eating houses in the expectation that all would comply. No doubt many of them did. The Board also required millers to increase the extraction of wheat from 70 to 76, a six per cent. in- crease of extraction. To further encour- age the use of substitutes the Board re- quired all dealers to sell one pound of sub- stitutes with every pound of wheat iiour 'and prohibited the use of milling wheatex- cept for human consumption. /

As a result- of the general compliance

:with these regulations the export of wheat from Canada to Great Britain has been'in-- creased by thecquivalent of 87 million
