The announcement has been made by Premier Mitchel! Hephurn that the Ontario government will impose a provincial income tax, part of which will go to municipalities. It wil. be distinct from the federal tax and will be collected by the treasury department at Ottawa. It is estimated that the new levy will raise from $12,000,000 to ©15,000,.000, a third of which is likely to be returned to the municipalities. The income tax collected for years by the municiâ€" palities is to be no loner assessed. The amount to be received by the province to make up the difference between wlhat municipalitiee have collected and will hercafter receive from the provincial incame tax may be given in the form of increased relief contiibutions. It is not certain where the $12,000,000 extra revenue will ~trike the hardest. If Mr. Hepburn intends to secure this amount from individuals and estautes and not from corporaâ€" tions, his levies will have to average about fifty per cent. of the Federal tax. What this will mean to the people of Kitchener and Waterloo district is not known, but it will be a substanâ€" tial amount. No accurite estimate can be made, however, until Mr. Hepburn lets the public have the details of the proposed tax.

To read of all this, it seems incomprehensible that the case should have attracted so much interest; that mobs should have besieged newspaper offices where bulletins were displayed, and that factory whistles should have blown in Toronto, Hamilton, Brantford, Paris, Galt and other places when the rescue was finally effected. It would be a tremendous thing if an equal interest could be evoked in the plight of thousands of children who suffer from neglect; or in the fate of victims of curable disease who die although the state might save them. But perhaps, after all, a less hysterical and more lasting interest is better. And there are many signs that it exists today.

He was escued on the following Saturday afternoon after having been buried for 99 % hours. During that period he case attracted attention all over the world; housands of people gathered to watch the rescuers it work; reporters were rushed to the spot from many soints in Canada and the United States. If the radio had been in existence, thore would have been a man on the spot broadcasting a spadeâ€"byâ€"spade report. As it was, every bulletin was eagery awaited and newsâ€" papers published extras when unexpected developments sccurred. 1 A new well was dug about six feet from the old one, and a cross tunnel was driven towards where Sandford was lying. The man could be heard moaning piteously. Finally a tube to carry fresh air to him was pushed through, and then a bottle with a little wine. As the earth was cautiously removed, his face was visible, but he explained that his feet were jammed in fallen brick. Partially delirious, he was revived with hot water and milk, his feet loosened and he was taken to the surface. Sandford lived to serve in the Great War and died in a military hospital. What added tremendously to the interest of the case was the fact that a pipe running down the well cemained intact, and the rescuers could communicate hrough it with the imprisoned man. They also pumped air down it through a rubber tube. Then on Thursday, after two days‘ frantic efforts, and when a rescue seemed assured, there was a second caveâ€"in and the communication was broken. Thinking that all hope was lost, the rescuers abandoned their task as night came on. But when a chance visitor to the scene reported that faint sounds could be heard, the work was resumed.
