Little of Wondcock, one of the most progressive and successful farmers on the Skeena river, went in to Prince Rupert on Saturday last to straighten out some business with the produce merchants. For some years Myr. Little -hos been specializing on spuds and turnips and he has worked up « reputation for these goods so that now he sets his own price. The prices are good this year and indica- tions are that they will be better... He has a big crop and the quality.is high, and he is satisfied to stay, with those two crops and let the other fellow grow apples and whent if they want to, He is selling spuds and turnips at a higher price than the fruit grow- ers are getting for apples in the gouth. Mr, Little says that the market for turuips is increasfng each ‘year, Since the Skeena river turnips went on to the southern market there is a good demand for them and now there are enquiries coming in from the prairies. ‘The future is very bright for Skeena river garden produce as well as the fruits.

Higher public expenditures for tax collecting, increased overhead for firms filing monthly information under the terms .of the proposed tax. ‘elted by the committee on turn-over and inevitable passing of the tax to the ultimate consumer are objections ‘elted by the committee on turn-over ‘tax. “We maintain that the time has arrived for the government to reduce taxation, instead of increasing it7* says the committee. “We would ‘ecommend that the council strongly urge the provincial government at the forthcoming session te eliminate the Jersonal property tax in its entirety, and to urge upon them also to curtail expenditures rather than increase same by the substitutidn of another form of taxation, which we firmly be- Heve will be more iniquitous than the personal property tax,” the committee “says, . “In view of the stand the Board has’ consistently taken, urging the abolition of the personal property tex, and in view of the small amount of ‘revenue which the personal : property |. tax at present earns for the govern- |! ‘atitution, should reduce. its ‘expendi: tures to meet the deficit which, wiil personal property tax.
