NOTES OF THE WEEK.
NOTES OF THE WEEK. Anotbe" episode is over in the history of the electric lighting question in Carnarvon. The Local Government Board has held its inquiry, and th rep 'ft of the Inspector re- gardiug the advisability of sanctioning the loan asked for will soon be under the Board's consideration. It is gathered from the Inspector ,s remarks that the verdict will be adverse to the Carnarvon Council, and that the loan wiJlnot be sanctioned. But that is in the lap of the gods. The ex sting opposi- tion to the Council's scheme found adequate expression on Wednesday, but the light would have been better served if some means of differentiating between the several shades of opposition had been adopted. As it was, the issue was coi fused. There was a strong b tdy of opinion frankly in favour of the N. Wales Power Co.'a scheme, but it cannot be denied that their opposition gained consider- able strength from being merged with the general opposition to any sort of electrical lighting scheme. This latter was much the more frankly-expressed reason for opposi- tion, and it cannot be denied that strong feelings on the point do exist in the town. Whether these would have been equally strong bad the Council takeu the ratepayers into full con- fidence from the beginning is a moot question. It is admitted now by the Council itself—we mean, the consistent portion of that body, -that they should hava done so. That erroneous ideas were very prevalent was shown in the inquiry itself, when gentle- men whopiad signed the memorial against the loan asserted that they had done so because they understood that the £17,000 necessary for the No. 1 scheme was to be laid on the rates. That, of course, is not so. Who knows what a w>-rid of bot er might possibly have been prevented had this been made clear from the beginning ? We are promised brisk political doings for Bangor. On the !!0th iDst. a great Liberal demonstration will be held in the city, wh,)U Messrs Lloyd George, W- Jones, and R Bell, M.P., will address open-air meetings in Hirael and Glanadda, together with a public meeting in the evening at the Penrbyn Hall. A new spur of enthusiasm is needed in the district, and this, it is hoped, will be supplied in the demonstration. The Liberal Association have also arranged to make the new reading-room of their premisos an at- 1 !;c U-' .t' 1 lead.*? to educate public opinion, while for { wiuter sessions a series of ^putar Wtur."1 <'m j crrrei.t social wid ec;>comi0 topic* ha.1- beerj I arranged We e .vunemi the f-as^-oraw»|>i* to Carnarvon. There is here, if anything, » still greater need of similar measures, I The question of teaching Welsh in the Carnarvon County School has been before the Governing Body several times since the need of doing something in that direction was first pointed out in these columns. At last we are enabled to state that the Governors have agreed to do the right thing. On the motion of Mr J. Ð. Pritchard, at last Friday's meeting, it was decided to appoint an additional master qualified to teach Welsh, at a salary not exceeding £ 150. This will be good news for the parents of the chi dren attending the school, and for all educationists who desire to see the natural advantages of Welsh s holars being utilised. We might also add that a few will be glad because of the opportunity that now offers to enable Welsh boys and girls to know j at least as much about Goronwy I Owen, Ceiriog, and Morgan Llwyd as about Wordsworth, Burns, and Charles Lamb. I The annual meetings of the North Wales Free Church Federation, held in Carnarvon on Tuesday, suffered to some extent from the absorption of a large proportion of the local residents in the electric light problem. The effects of the Monday night ratepayers' meeting, together with anticipations of the morrow's inquiry, served to turn attention from what would otherwise have obtained undoubtedly ample support. The meetings proved to be successful, nevertheless, especially in regard to the excellence of the addresses delivered. The apologia of Professor Phillips and Mr W. George for the Nonconformist standpoint in the Educa- tion struggle rang with truth and sincerity, and will serve, we trust, to entrench Non- conformist* still more strongly and courageously in their antagonism to the Act.

THE COST OF IMPERIALISM.
THE COST OF IMPERIALISM. Mr Austen's Budget has caused some surprise, but no sensation. There is no doubt that some sensation was anticipated, ,-though the expectant ones are hardly disappointed. It is obvious that the Protectionist element in the Cabinet, in- cluding the Chancellor, has decided againt any public advocacy of Mr Chamberlain's propaganda at present, thereby confirming the general notion that Preference and Protection are a dead letter. Had Mr Joseph's lay-helpers in the present Government believed that there was a fair chance of securing popular support, they undoubtedly would have launched a Budget that included a tax on foreign corn, and gone boldly to the country upon it. The nature of the Budget, as it is, is a strong indication of the lack of Protectionist faith in the ultimate success of their notions, and of the intention of the present Government to stick to office at all costs. The Budget concerns the average rate- payer's pocket very closely. The national balance-sheet shows a deficit of five-and- a-half million pounds. This deficit is intended to be made up by further raids on the taxpayer's pocket. There is already an income tax of elevenpence in the pound mulcted from all whose annual income exceeds £ 160. They will doubtless be pleased to learn that another penny per pound is to be drawn out of their coffers, making in all a shilling for every pound per annum they earn. Thus a man earning four pounds a week must con- tribute ten sovereigns a year to the country's upkeep. If he agrees with the mad spendthrift policy of the present Government he will no doubt hand the money over with a light heart, but we can conceive mnch reluctance on the part of the man who objects to the present fashionable Imperial th nking, with its consequent bloated armaments and fre- quent cash-devouring wars. The Im- perial thinkers and tfag-wavers find much of their support among the working- classes, and it is only fair for those who have cheered at Imperial demonstrations to bear a share of the expense. It will perhaps be heard with joy by some of those that beerand spirits will not be taxed this year. The prospects of passing the Licensing Bill are poor, and the brewers must be conciliated somehow. Hut in order not to lose the natural connection between "Imperialism" and thirst, a further tax has been placed on tea,-the I previous duty of 6d per lb being raised I to 8d. This is a tax that will tell heavily I in the weekly bills of the poor,and however just the penalty may be in the case of those who cheerily helped the Tories to their present position, this heavy penalising of the innocent Radical working-man also cannot but create indignation. There is consolation in the reflection that the ranks of the latter will soon be filled by a goodly proportion of dissatisfied tea-drinking Imperialists. The reduction of the whole question to a cup of tea may prove to be the drowning of false Imperialism yet. For the rest of the deficit some mystical juggling with the t^b^o duties is ex- pected to work wonders, and leave a margin for next year. The prime fact about the Budget is, of course, that the expenditure is higher now in time of peace than it was during the war. Not only have the taxes im- posed on account of the South African war not been taken off,—though we are on friendly terms with all the nations of the earth, excepting the Thibetans,but others, as indicated above, have been added to them. This Imperial thinking is becoming a more costly business every year, and the question that must agitate every patriotic bosom is, How much more of this sort of thinking can we in- dulge in without breaking our backs ? There is a limit to all material wealth, end Britannia's hoard, rich though it j was once, cannot stand for ever this mad senseless scatheiing of it by spendthrift Tories.
---.----.--UNIVERSITY COLLEGE…
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF NORTH WALES. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the Court of Governors was held in the Library Hall of the College, on Wednesday, Lord Kenyon presiding. THE NEW FORESTRY DEPARTMENT. The Registrar (Mr J. E. Lloyd; read a letter received from the. Board of Agriculture intimating that the Department had resolved to make a special grant of £ 250 per annum for the Agricultural Department of the Uni- versity College of North Wales, to enable forestry instruction to be carried on during the next financial year, provided that pro- visions proposed to be made wers of a satis factory character. The Registrar further re- ported that at a meeting held th:\t morning the first step in connection with the new de- partment was taken, by appointing a lecturer, .Mr Eraser SLorey. who is at present lecturer in forestry at the Edinburgh and East of Scotland College of Agriculture, and also examiner in fore-try ar, the University, Edin- burgh, at which he had also b?en doing tem- porary work. He would commence his duties at tha end of May. THE LATE MR W. RATHBONE. The Chairman announced that the Henry Tate Trustees had presented to the College a large oil painting of the late Mr W. Rath- bone, executed by L. Sprinck. The Chairman proposed a vocj of thanks to the Trustees, and Mr p.ulk.-iley Price se- conded the vote, which was earned with acclamation. VICE-PRESIDENT. Nominated by Mr Cadva»a-!r D t aos and others. Mr H. Bulkeley Price, J.P., Menai Bridge, was appointed Vice-President of tho Col i THE PERMANENT BUILDINGS FUND. The Exe-nitive Commitee of the Permaut-ni Buildings Fund presented a report. It was stated tint the total amount of subscriptions promised to th" fund had now reaehed 1:26,101 5s 4d. This amount included the residue of the Thomas I o.;ne.st, amounting to £ 5,000, which by resolution of the Council was assigned to the Permanent B lilriings Fund. The subscriptions below £ 50 included li-.ts from Llanberis and Llanllyfni of about 250 names, with subscriptions varying from 5s upwards. The total subscriptions below £ 50 paid cr promised eince October amounted to £ 2,129 16s. The amount of the staff fund is now £999 13s., that of the old students stood at CI.337 5s 6d Th? organ- isation in the different districts of North Walts had made steady progress, alld several of the local committees had pro- ceeded very satisfactorily w'tit the collec- tions Promises had been received as fol- low-; fr"m the districts named:—Anglesey Amlwch, £1 Is: Beaumaris, P-62 2s; Boded- ern, £ 50; Brynsienoyn, X2 2s; Holyhead. £ 1C2 Is; Llanfair P.G., £ 1,000; Llangefni, £ 06 2s 6d Llangoed, £ 50; Menai Bridge, £ 102 10s; Newboiongh. £ 1,000.

The appeal made to the el jt :~ntarv and secondary schools of North Wales had been very heartily responded to, and 56 schools had made tb-ii, first annual collections, amounting in the aggregate to £ 31, representing an amount of more than £ 150 in five v^ars. The amount paid imo the bank up to the end of March was £ 6,027 lei. 9d. In moving the adoption of the report. Mr Henry Lewis. Bangor, stated that the com mittee had not done so much work during the present year as was accomplished when the fund was started last year. The reason for that probably was the great number of elections for the County Council and Boards of Guardians held over North Wales, draw- ing the attention of the people and prevent- ing them from paying that regard which ar. important matter merited. Now they b-d gone baek to work again and with very satis- factory results. In the report which the committee presented that day they would find that the contributions and promises from the different localities had been tabulated under the head of the different counties. Very little organisatiou had as yet been effected in any county with the exception of Carnarvonshire and Anglesey, in which counties they proceeded as well as they could, and they intended attacking the other counties in order. Nevertheless they would see that a very large amount had already been contributed, the fund now amounting • 'U-; :• a.. ci'd t-H- Lsicleied the l>um^d ground covered by the ( fund and the poverty of the land, the work ( fund and the poverty of the land. the work (already i><x>omplit»hod was in Lh ^^ic.ion ex- c.elle» ». iie compared th-' work do*10 Cardiff, wh n.-h served one of tha richest p»r^4 of South Wales, with what they had done Bangor, ',¡,nd he did not think they suffer' by comparison.

THE PROPOSED MINING DEPART- MENT. Mr Greenley (Bangor) inquired whether any provision would be made in the new College buildings for the proposed Mining Department. Principal Reichel explained that th* cause of the delay was not due to the slack- ness of the College authorities, but to the fact that certain changes had been, brought. about, by the Education Act, and some time must elapse before they could, with any hope of success, approach the new authori- ties. There was no idea of giving up the department, but he was afraid they had under-estimated its cost. WELSHMEN IN AMERICA. Commenting on the report of the Building Committee, Principal Reichel stated that when he was in America wit 1 the Moseley Commission he always made 1, point of see ing the communities of Welshmen which existed in most- of the great cities, and Mr Wm. Jones, M.P., and himself always en- deavoured to interest them in the educa- tional movement in their old country. They visited the Welsh commurities ire New York, Chicago, and Utica, tha headquarters of organised Welsh effort in the Unitedt States. At Utica he was present at a gathering at which Mr Silyn Roberto, a dis- tinguished member of the College, who gained the bardic crown at the Bangor Eis- teddfod, was the recipient of a present (hear, hear). They did not come across any Welsh millionaires in America, although they were told that Welshmen, together with. Scotchmen and Scandinavian,. formed tha best type of emigrants. The member3 of the Welsh communities invariably waaited to know what was- being done at heme, and he was in great hopes, that if the interest was sustained, a goodly sum would be sent over towards the fund (hear, hear). Th& Council of the College had asked a former member who was proceeding to America on business next year to keep alive the inter- ests of the fund while out there. UtI, thought that if anything would shame the Government of this country in their neglect of higher education, it would be the pecu niary support of emigrants (hear. herjr)- NO READINESS TO LEAD. Mr L. D. Jones (Llew Tegid), the Organ- ising Secretary of the Fund, said that as much sympathy had been shown towards the movement as he had anticipated. There was everywhere a readiness to help. but no readiness to lead, and with the exception of the one at Bethel, no local committee had as yet completed its work. Whilst he was in the towns the movement flourished, but it ceased with his departure. He thought the members of the Court with their influence could greatly assist the Fund. In conclu- sion, Mr L. D. Jones said that at a reoent meeting in support of the fund, a farmer ex- pressed great surprise at the various de- partmenta in. the College. He thought that it was only intended for preachers (laugh- ter). Although the progress was a little slower than he had anticipated he was not discouraged. DAY TRAINING COLLEGE COM- MITTEE. The following were elected upon the Day Training College Committee for 1904-5:- Mrs J. Glynne Jones. Bangor; Miss H. M. M. Lane, lady Superintendent of Womeu Students; Messrs J. C. Davies. M.A., J. Allaason Picton, M.A., Peumaenmawr; W- G. Thomas (Mayor of Carnarvon). D. J. Williams, M.A., Bethesda County School; D. H. Williams, M.A., Pwllheli County School; and T. J.

LETTEFT TO THE EDITOR. LOCAL EXPENDITURE. Sir,—Through your generosity, I desire to address a few lines, by way of warning, to my fellow-ratepayers in view of the increas- ing local and imperial burdens, lest we plunge ourselves headlong, if not blindfolded, into cotrtly and unnecessary schemes in con- nection with which we are fairly certain to have to "repent at leisure." Carnarvon is certainly too much dependent on the country around, and in the absence of flourishing conditions there and in t'.ie town itself, the conditions will become intolerable. Would not any ordinary business man admit that the present burden is already more than we can bear, having regard to local circum- stances, and that any further addition there- to can only have ore result. Is not the present, aa well as the last three or four years, a most anxious time for houseowners. and have not prices realised been tending downward during that period? Give an ear to the speculative builder for only ten minutes, and ask him his experience during recent years, and ask him then to forecast the probable date of his next building opera- tions. In the absence also of any new industry opening, or present ones expanding, what piospect is there locally of one-tenth of the rising generation getting any work in the town. and are not parents failing, for that reason, to start their hoys and girls alike? Why not abandon wild schemes for a few, years, while local and Imperial burdens are being rnluood to something more reasonable than at present.? Prophesy does not run in our family, but there are many certain in- dications of labour becoming cheaper, and of ir- -n u t: td belug 1 quoted live years hence.
