The latest proposal in Alberta' it ap pears, is toward the taxation of the un earned increment in land. A owns un improved property which by reason of improvements made all around him by B, C and D, is advancing steadily in value year by year. Premier Sifton of the provincial Parliament, it is report ed, proposes that this unearned incre ment shall be taxed. But the tax will go farther than this. It will apply to B, C and D as well, if it be fouud they are profiting from an enhancement in real property values which is not due to their efforts but to to the gen eral growth and progress of the com munita, The idea, It appears, is to levy the tax on the increase shown in value since the last recorded sale. It is an advance proposal in taxation, and it is important as reflecting the senti ment of an agricultural country. How flatly it seems to contradict the impres aion obtaining in some quarters that the land or single tax system is obnoxious to farmers may be plainly seen. The The farmers of western Canada appear to see in it a means of evualizing tax ation finally in the interest of the peo ple in general. C. S. Monitor.

A GREAT LECTURER (Continued from Page 1) are working for the welfare and moral uplift of the people. It is objected that the amusement facilities of the city are not just the best for the young and that if they are restricted there should be some place and some amusement provided to re place them. It is expected that the meeting will be large and enthusiastic and that a real movement has been started by Chancellor Bradford that will result in vast good for the young of Vale and the county.

While the Workmen's compensation act received the greatest majority of all the measures voted upon at the special referendum Tuesday of last week, the Question has been raised as to whether the law becomes operative immediately or not until next June. The members of the industrial acci dent commission, created by the act, hold that the law became operative im mediately and the commission has an nounced that employers will have until Nov. 16 to elect not to como under the act if they so desire and employes until December 1st so elect; if they do not elect not to come under then they are antomatically included in the opera tions of the law. But Attorney General Crawford ren dered an opinion to State Treasurer Kay that the law did not become oper ative until next June, as the law says employers and employes will have un til the 15th and 30 of June res pective ly, following the taking effect of the act, in which to make an election as to whether they will come under the act. He issued a statement, however, in which he said that any firm wishing to could notify the commission that it de sired to come under the act and then the law would apply to such an em ployer and. his employes immediately. The commission will proceed on the assumption that the act is in full effect and operation, and it is likely that the question will be settled in the courts as it is expected some em ployer will bring a suit against the com mission for this purpose. The law applies to all hazardous in dustries. In class A, which are the more hazardous industries, are electric light and power companies, telephone and telegraph companies, railroads and street railroads, water works, mining of all kinds, logging and lumbering operations, quarries, smelting and re duction works, ship building and steve doring, stone crushing works, grain elevators, ice factories and cold stor age plants, general construction work of all kinds, including excavating, erec tion of structures and wrecking and re pair ,of same, grading, cement and concrete work, manufacturies of chemicals, lumber, mineral waters, rope and cordage, fireworks, pu'p and paper, paper boxes and bags, cement and furniture, woodworking plants of all kinds, packing houses, powder works, iron, steel and metal works, foundries, breweries, gas works, oil works and cereal mills. Class B includes all the other indus stries. All employers coming undor the law are required to retain from the wages of their employea coming under the law a sum equal to five-tenths of one per cent of their wages each month, and in any event at least 25 cents each month from each employe. This money, and an additional sum equal to six times the total amount retained from the em ployes, must be paid by the employer into the industrial accident fund. Employers in class A continue to make such payments until they have paid in 3 percent of the amount of their annual payrolls, and employers in class B continue to make such, payments un til they have paid in lper cent of their annual payrolls. The state then pays into the fund an amount equal to one seventh of the total amount received from the employers and employes. If there are no accidents, no further payments are made into the fund. This would be the case for an indefinite length of time. But if accidents occur, and insurance is paid out to injured workmen, then the paymen ts must be resumed by the individual employer and the employes in the plant in which the accident occurred. If he is a class employer, the payments must continue until three per cent of his annual pay roll is reached again. This means that the fewer the accidents in an employ er's plant the less he will have to pay into the fund, after the minimum am ount is once reached.. ' Insurance is provided for every sort of an industrial accident, from fatali ties to the loss of a finger or toe. Pro vision is made for $100 funeral expen ses and $250 first aid expenses, in ad dition to the regular insurance allow ance. The maximum insurance that can be drawn is $50 a month. Governor West has commuted to life imprisonment the death sentence of Lem Woon, a Portland Chinaman who was to have been executed next Friday for the murder of another Chinaman in Portland. The governor said a serious doubt as to the man's guilt had been raised, and so long as there was such uncertainty he preferred to save the man's life. Will T. Kirk.
