BRINGING THE WAR HOME,
This week the budget for 1918
was hrought down in the house
at Ottawa, and was marked by
“the numerous addilional revenue-
raising taxes contained therein.
The fact that we shall have to
pay extra for our tea and coffee,
moving pictures, tobaccos, and
many other items that constitute
apart of what we consider the
necessities of life should impress
upon us the part we must hear
in the great human sactifice that
is being made in the world today.
Additional taxes form the only
solution to the ever-growing
problem of financing our share in
the war. We ought to be thank-
fuland proud that we are not
paying ‘tribute to a conquering
tyrant, and consider ourselyes

lueky that we are only called on |

to pay in the preportion to the
so-called ‘‘|juxuries’’ we consume.
Surely tea is a luxury and should
be taxed, and the sanie applies
to coffee and other beverages.
Tobacco can be dispensed with at
home, if necessary, A man who

can afford to buy a $5000 auto-| 1;

mobile ean afford to pay $500) '
war tax on it,
crease in ihe income tax can only |’
be regarded in the light of buy-
ing so many.shelis for the boys
at the frout.

Let us ther: fore take these ad-

ditional taxes cheerfully. . They
are inevitable, No. amount of
money we tan give can equal the
sacrifices that the boys in the
trenches are making, and it would
seem an insult to them: to make
protest against the taxes, which
-ave just and right and equitable,
affecting the individual only ac-
cording to the wealth with which
he is blessed.

government to establish a.branch:
