As a matter of fact this disfidence ig due to unfamiliarity with our own strength aud it is well that we should know, with St.Paul, that we are \u201ccitizens of no mean oity.\u2019 Accordiug to the 1911 census, Quebeo stood seventh in a list of ninety cities and towns having over 50,000 inhabitants with a populs- tion of 75,710 und, as municipal statistios for 1916 .epadit us with a population of 110,000, it is well within the bounds of probability fhat the Ancient Capital now stands fourth or fifth in all Canada, ar Montreal Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver ing the hundred thousand line.Does one hear Lendon with less than fifty thousand inhabitants, or Edmonton with less than twenty-five thousand, or Belleville with less than ten thousand, repining siin- tiarly of their lot?, Turning to industries we find that Quebec has dwindled from 255 establishments in 1900 to 173 in 1915 but even so tliese last represent an invested capital of $39,624,323 which is nearly ehually to that for the whole Province ef Alberta and nearly three times that for Suskatchewan.Salurics and wages paid amount to $4,802,770 which is slightly greater than these paid in all Alberta and mope than twice | those in Saskatchewan.Finally the totul value of the manufactured products is $18,928,277 whieh is r than these of Sagkutehewan ard Prince Edward Island combined.1s there any ground for pessimism in these somparigons! What are the main factors which determine the iseation of industries it new centres?Suitable sites, cheap power, adoquale transportation facilities, ac- \u201c cessibility of raw materin), and suffivient labor: iu which of thase then ape we lacking! Not in sites or power certainly, while in transportation we not only have mil facilities but shipping facilities which will he of the grentest importance in tie export trade thut will follow the war.In aceessibility of ruw imgterials we have to the north virtually inexhaustible resources of timber and minerals that can make Quebes 2 liter ol hive of industry with power to attract all the labor that it requires.Consider only the number of automobiles regis fered in the city, 8 certain jndes of prosperity: in 1810 there were only 47, in 1915 the number had in- trecsed'to 677, and in 1916 there were 2,605, or about a third the total for Montreal.There is an old Latin aaying, \u2018\u2018he can because he thiuks be ean\u2019\u2019 and, in the face of the evidence arcu- mulated hove, who will depy Wint Quebec can ne- somplieh anything it desire, provided only its gif frens have faith in each other and thenmeives ! A unique opportunity of proving that faith will won be afforded through the comipendable enterprise of the City Counei] in desiding to invite local inves- fors to supply the mpney that is required for the #ity 's nesds during the eursent year.As most people probably know, the usuel practice in the togling of municipal loans is to entrust the work to some large financial agency on « commission basis ex underwriter, by which means the am.ouut of the joan, together with the interest accruing it, must ultimately be distributed outside the wy on whose behalf it is made.While the present rangement, therefore, in obviously modelled upon | the lines of the Dominion Victory Loan it nmeverthe- Joss souatitutes, no far ap we are aware, an absolutely tew dopartyre in the municipal fsld and is deserving of most whole-earted support from the publie, Admittedly money myst be found to carry on be city's business and to meke needed improvements oad ft cen be raised in either ung of two ways: by Wxation or hond flotation.The first method conati- tetos a burden upon the rate-payers for which he gets #0 other compensation than the work dome: the see- opd tnethod means a temporary relief which must slso be paid for hy the tax-payer in the long run.It is therefore preferrmble to reise the loan, if possible, within the city se that the amount involved can be lapt st home and the publie business can be transacted without imposing any additional burden of tesation.Looked at in this light, everyone who ean afford te do eo sheuld be willing te invest in Quebes.What the venture is souurl is proven by the willing sos of the Bank of Montres te advance money for D ade, tire à sant bag hove psbanribed and fin the ste of interest is met nuusually large, aix dent aud capital returned at the end of yeaps Ue fair busines.\u201d The ebjeauve is $470,000 oad the Connell ig only expestipg to raise - ad r sb or 6059600, lesailx bus it it the al) amenant ip noi lorthouning.| Mapee Lavigueus has already pledged himesl! for 085,000 and it le making ne extravagant statement te say that thare are in the city st least nine others who can subscribe an equal amount, or more than the half thes | spend the bulk of their money in it and by restricting the subecription list to our own people everyons will benefit twice: fret by the public improvements that will be made possible, and secondly by the distribution of the monsy earned upon the investment, While we have calculated on large subscriptions to show how easily the loan can be sbeerbed, it would not be fair to place the entire responsibility upon the wealthy and it would be far better, both as & lemon je thrift and as so example of munjsipsl pasriotinm, for five hundred people to subscribe à thoupend doliarg each, or for five thousand people to sybseribe a hundred dollars apices.; Whether it has been § question of the Red Crees, the Patriotie Fund or the Victory Loan, Quebec has always prided itself upou \u2018\u2018doing ête bit ' and à di- | rect chalienge has now boen issued for ug to help | ourselves.It we are sincere in our desire for development, if we are earnest in our endeavors to attract now industries, there can be no better advertisement of the city, no more striking proof of thy faith of its citizens, than a local oversubseription of our | own bond issue, Let our muito then be: \u2018Do it for Quebec.* - THE PRICE OF VICTORE.It was inevitable that en income wap tax law | should have been placed on the statuta besks.The | growing demands made upon Censds, as one of the free nations of the world, engaged in the life and | death battle with the forces of barbariem, spd the necessity of distributing the burden as equitably as possible, made the imposition of & tax, based on sbil- ity to pay, merely \u20ac matter of time, All the great nations engeged in the conflict have found it necomsary to make the ineome tag one of their principal seuress of yevenus.Among the were striking evidences of the will to win in these \u2018tmss of sacrifice, in the spirit with which the people nf Greet Britaïn\u2014upen whase shouldery rest the major portion of the war's financial burden-\u2014are golag about the work of supplying the sinews of war.The people of France and the United States are as cheerfully doing their part and it is a foregene conclusion that the people of Canade, alpeady inured to ancri- flee, will make of the income tax an opportunity to serve the holiest eause which has ever engaged the attention of mankind.Like the fathers of the, American Revolution, | lives, theip fortunes and their sacred honor,\u201d to the cause which they espouse.The call upon the fortuyed of the people of Canada is to talks the form of a graduated tax on all incomes of 81,500 and over ey.joyed by all unmarried persona, op widows and widowers without dependent ehikiren, and of 43,000 all corporations and joint stock companies.v the filing of the necessary forms, filled out as required, liefore the 31m of Mareh.While penalties for failure to carry eut the requirements of the aot are provided, it is confidently expected that the people of Canada, jealcug of their right te play a major role in the conflict, will respond to this latest eall in à spirit of quiet patriotism.CDBRADUONNONGUSSNOOOTNADALE e Q > PRESS COMMENT.CETTE TETE TITI TPE IIIE CANADA AND SRIPBUILDING.(Christian Science Moniter) The point perhaps mogt frequently emphasised by allied statesman, on both sides of the Atlantio;
