Who Pays the Rates.
Who Pays the Rates. The rates, like the poor, are always with us. In lean years, like the present, not only are they with us, but they assume horrid proportions, looming up in our imagination, --and when the* demand-note comes, in reality also,like very monsters of unquench- able capacity. There seems to be no escap- ing from them. This is no mere figurative language, as many a tradesman in Carnar- von and other towns knows to his cost. It is a costly privilego to live, they find. Often the game is hardly worth the candle. A growing town, or an ancient borough waking up, lives largely on its prospects, and faith must be pro-supposed in those who are laying out their capital in it. Fa-ith, and sacrifice also,—the very speculative nature of the enterprise demands it. Carnarvon, for instance, and Bangor, have embarked upon what may bo termed new careers as holiday- resorts. Of course, they were resorted to before, and in Bangor the reaorters have been looked upon for some time as contribut- ors to the city's wealth. But it is only latter- ly that Carnarvon hLs consciously turned to regarding tourists and summer visitors as sources of profit. Lodging-house keepers have hardly done 80 even yet, to judgo from I their diffidence. The Town Council's de- liberations and decisions, however, show an increasing tendency to speculate in tourists, —the "Baths" scheme is the latest indiea- tion of this. That this is a correct attitude is confirmed by public opinion generally. In the lack of a. steady industry it is good policy to strive to create one. Cavillers notwithstanding Carnarvon offers many advantages as a. holi- day centre, and it is open to it to utilise those advantages to ths toVn's profit. The Council has not been buffieiently bold, in the opinion of some, in pursuit of thli idea; nothing, they say, is to be gained by staking nothing. Precisely; but it is generally found that the Council has been too enterprising by half when the end of the financial year brings in- timation that the borough expenditure de- mands another penny or so in the pound. That exactly is where the shoe pinches. It is an easy matter to be enterprising and altruistic in theory; it is quite another thing to deny oneself of luxuries, and may be of necessaries, in order to support it. Tha Council must of necessity, re- membering the hard times, let "I dare not" wait upon "I would." The margin is so narrow in many local ledgers that not even the need for betterment and improvement can justify further calls upon the contribu- tions of the ratepayers. We can well under- stand that it was with some trepidation that the Carnarvon Council decided to raise the district rate this week from twe-and-nine- penee to tvvo-aad-tenpence. The rate is perhaps low, and the increase small, in com- parison with other towns. But Carnarvon knows its own business best, and the net result is that in the present condition of things a penny weighs a pound. Now a burden may beeome greater than can be borne. The strain is already felt,—it may become intolerable. Why should it? Why should a man, toiling to earn an honest living, be so saddled with expenses of main- tenance of himself, his family, and the well- being -of the community, that the game is hardly worth the playing Y There is sufficient wealth in the country for everybody and to spam. Without prejud ice to the question of j distribution of wealth, however, let us glance LHtn at the question of the distribution of the re- sponsibility. Here is Carnarvon town, com- posed of an aggregate of individuals each 10- preseuting some quota of capital,—-counting labour a-s capital "in posse." Being massed together in one community, each should con- tribute according to his ability to welfare of the community. Is that rule fol- lowed? Hardly. The rateable value is not the same for man and man. One man puts his all into a. business. He buikls upon land belonging to another man. By dint of II energy and enterprise, he develops his busi- ness so that the value of the land on which his establishment is built increases fourfold. The rateable value of his building also in- creases, ard his rates increase in proportion. So very often does his rent. That man's in- dustry brings grist to the town's mill; he contributes well to the rates, and oo fulfils his duty to the community. But what of the his duty to the community. But what of the man v.h'' land has been so improved by I this industry? As a rule he toils not, neither does he r;pin,-but gets others to pay him for the privilege of doing this for him. This land will have increased in value because of the other man's efforts, but he himself pays nothing in the way of increased rates towards ¡ the expenses of the community in eonsc- quence. This was a point treated in a clause I or Mr Trevelyan's Taxation of Laud Valuer Bill accepted by the House of Commons last I Friday, wherein provision is made for the separate assessment of land and buildingti, with a, view to a, more impartial and just incidence of taxation. The general attitude towards this Measure, in spite of the Govern- ment's snarling, shows that the country is waking up to the need of reform in this direc- tion. The point referred to above is only one of many in a problem that is bristling not so much with difficulties as with the possibilities for justice and equity. The land question soeths with present injustices and ftituri, reforms, and it is time it were studied and analysed with a view to immediate solution.
Notes of the Week.
Notes of the Week. ■—* What at one time promised to become a burning question in religious eireles, viz.. the amalgamation of the Rata and Trevecca Theological has now been rele gated to the dim and distant future. The committee appointed to consider the Llan- diuam offer reported to the Safrsiwn at Brymbo last week that their adviser, Mr J. Bryn Roberts, M.P., cxiw no legal disability in the way of amalgamation. But they con- sidered that it would be better to postpone further consideration of the question. This was found to be, strangely enough, the general opinion, but lest their action be misconstrued, it was decided that a resolu- tion be drawn up to the effect that "owlàg to the reoent revival of religious fervour this wfts an inopportune time to pacs any final resolution with regard to the matter. Is this an indication of a tendency to regard the wonderful results of "unlearned" Evan Roberts's ministry as evidence that the whole busine^i of preparation for the ministerial colling requires to be reconsidered? Spring has come, and summer is eomictg. and the voice of the tramp is heard in the land. The rates heard of him sufficiently before for that matter,—there were 2362 of him "relieved" at the public expense last quarter. The public would be well relieved of him altogether, particularly when, as m I Holyhead, he t)upplementt. the aid from the rates by surreptitious contributions from places of worship. We agree with the Lowi | Lieutenant (Mr J. E. Greaves) that both guardians and police are too lenient with "weary Willie." He is a "scab"' that must be rooted out, and we suggest similar pre- I ventive measures to those used in the caee of sheep scab. The police may perhaps be in-dined to grumble because of the laying on j their shoulders of tho responsibility for ex- pelling both kindd of verm.n. But let them regard these as general peste, and apply similar methods of intimidation, and they will find the duties interesting and enter- taining. The Chairman of the Pwllheli Guardians ba<! never seen' inconvenience caused by tho minutes being recorded and read in Eng- lish, though the proceedings are in Welsh. This may very well be so, but the point ie that sufficient inconvenience has been felt by some of the members to move the Clerk to consalt the Local Government Board on ,j the point. We are surprised that those who began to agitate on tlus question should so readily concur with the chairman's doba, to "drop the matter." If the point was worth raising, it was worth fighting for,—especially as the official law is that both minutes and proceedings may be in Welsh so long a6 an English copy is kept for offic:al purposes. We hop.e that the members concerned will nod let drop this opportunity of once more emphasising their nationality. The Light Railway Commissioners deckled on Saturday to grant the application of tbe new Railway Company to convert, the Nant Gwynant and Dinas to Carnarvon 8tctione of their huge scheme to light railways. But they intimated that they would take time to consider the various objections,— ind these were many. Chief of thes>e perhaps was that of the National Trust for the Preservation of Places of Interest, inasmuch as it was pointed out that the granting of the applica- tion would be a departure from the solemn bargain by reason of which opposition by the Trust was not persisted in against the Act of 1901. Under that bargain there were 700 yards of tunnel in which the rail- way would be hidden. Now the company pleads enginepring diSk-ultiea,—which of course imply greater expense. The excuse of expense is not considered vsufficient bv the Trust, but tha Coinnii&sionera evideatly deem the reason of sufncient weight. Mr Lloyd Carter, we note, elicited the interest ikig information that the proposed light rail- ways, induding the line from Dinas to Car- narvon, will be worked by elect rive i power from overhead. "If tll<)&c who managed a school were too poor to maintain it properly, then they muss give up the management." Some ridiculous Radical dictum, no doubt, say onr clerical friends. But no, those were the words of no other than Sir William Anson, the Par- liamentary head of the Board of Education. ,They referred to London Voluntary Schools, some hundreds of which are certified Be UD- fit for purposes of education, although like many similar schools in 'Va'es they haw been "cracked up" for generations as won- derful evidences of the bountiful goodness of the Church. How were these standing me/iaces to society permitted to remain be- fore the London County Council took them over? Precisely, ius Mr Lloyd George stated on Tuesday, because the managers were friends with the Board, and both keen on "pure dogma." but negligent of "puf,ri'l drains." Air George, Mr H. Lewis, lly S. T. Evans, and other Welsh members, drove this point home with such vigour on Tues- day -evening that Sir William Anson was fain to admit that, in principle, that '-re- fain to admit that, in principle, that "re- .1 A pairs should go before mttint-e-,la!lc-e." Of course, Sir William's declaration is the best possible commentary on the Mer- ioneth i<evoLi|. What Sir William jsfpleased to admit so far as London is concerned is simply what Wales has all along contended for. tHe has laid down the rule that these schools must be kept io. ft proper coud.nQH or be given up to the Education Authored Which is to say that what Wales has been fighting for is at oiue conceded to London.' The Board, the Church, and tbv London .county Council now find themselves in a. serious position. The Board has now ad- mitted the principle for which Wales con trends; Voluntary Schools musx. be structur- tilly efficient before the Authority can even be asked for maintena ice. The Church now discovers that if she cannot maintain she must not control. Tbe London County Council is faced with another hug", burden while the cry is against their policy of ei- travttgance. It is an amazing situation, evolved by the insanity of the Goverrmei. and the injustice of th-e Church. But what, concerns us, says the "South Wales Daitv News," is that Wales has won. Sir Wil- liam Anson hao Qlt last given his support to the demands of Merioneth. How can he jpotssibly escape from his r;e'if-imposed di- .lemma? His admission and hits contention for the moment suffice. There was quite a dramatic sparkle about the dialogue on military drill at the meeting of the "Carnarvon County Hchool Governors on Friday hist. It seems that the "Major Genei-al Commanding the North Western Dis- trict"—portentous title !—had sent a circu- lar to the school suggesting that a rifle clnb boo formed, the boys to be supplied with tli4, new servioe rifle or carbine. The Rev J. E. vHughes's question re the relation of thi* proposal to the new army- scheme ""aII rather apt. Perhaps there was more in tbe suggestion than is generally thought. Tbe war authorities do not require Volunteers; that haa been sufficiently proved by the pro- posal to reduce the numbers. What they w-ant is a more martini, aggressive spirit, favourable not so much to defence in cw+- of invasion as to defiance of foreign powers. To thia end the cry of patriotism is raised time and again, but in Wales at all events, patriotism will not be confounded with the Jingoism that. thene war folk want. They (\1.'>'< not necessarily 't.1I "dregs of society" who handle a gun, of course, but like Mr J. T. Robert. we have no sympathy with militarism, and believe that the fewer that handle » gun from a mere desire to shoot the better. As the Rev Rhys HUWH eaid. the moral se:e of the com- munity is against a.nything that might lead to the engendering of a desire for war. (uii we think that the common eeuse of the com- munity also will confirm the decision of tbe Governors when it is considered that tlie boys will have sufficient time to think of siftes when they attain Volunteering age. and that their time at school will be mueVi tetter occupied with studying the arte &)f jpeace.

Bangor Notes. Liberal Social. 'Hie social gathpring of Liberal. held in-t week at the Penrhyn Hall, under the auspices of tiie Liberal Association and thu Bangor Liberal Social Council, passed off with great eclat. The attendance was far above th* average, and the musical programme eon- tamed many attractive items, which were thoroughly enjoyed by those present. The gatherings are very valuable and in- teresting methods of bringing Liberals and their friends together, and the success achieved at this last social will, we hope, m- j duce the. committee of the Liberal Associa- j lion to consider the advisability of holding i those functions with greater frequency. Mise Wallace, the hon. sec. of the Bango" I Liberal Social Council, is to be congratulated upon the succest;ful character of last week I social, which was due in 4 very great measure to the energetic and tai-tful manner in which she performed her secretarial duties. I County School for Girls. Bangorians have cause to feel proud at !h, high position tho Bangor County School for Girls has established for itself amongst similar schools in North Wales. The success attained has indeed been phenomenal, and Miss Mason, the head mistress, and the mem- bers of her staff, are entitled to unstinted praise for the really first class character and quality of thtt instruction imparted to then- students, which is abuudantly evidenced hr the excellent results sec ured in the periodical examinations held by the Central Welsh Board. In a sc-hool such as this, thmi, where the successes of the scholars are so uniforniilv good. it may perhaps appear invidious ?<• "ingle out for special mention any particular student, but we canuot refrain from offering our congratulations to two Bangor young ladies who up till recently were students at this school, and who were two out of three scholars obtaining the honours certificates of the Central Welsh Board. We refer to Miss Grace Davies and Miss Anvves Foulk Jone-s. Miss Grace Davies is the daughter of Jhfl Gethin Davies, the widow of the late Dv Gethin Davies, formerly principal of the, North Wales Baptist College. She is 18 years of age, and is now taking the inter- mediate course for the Welsh B.A. at the Bangor University College. Up to the time of entering the University, Miss Davies had attended the Bangor County School for Girls, and succeeded in gaining the junior certificate of the Central Welsh Board in September, 1901. In 190J, she sat again in t-he same examination, considerably improv- ing her position, gaining distinction in 8 out, of 11 subjects. She was awarded the senior certificate of the Central Welsh. Board on the 7th September, 1903, a.nd in September last gained, as we have before mentioned, t-ho honours certificate of that body, with distinc- tion in French and French conversation. English language and literature, and in senior Latin, and subsequently won, while-fit the County School, the county scholarship of £ 20 per annum available for three yearR, with which she entered the North Wales Uni- versity College. Minor distinctions Miss* Davies has won without, number, but enongh. has been said to justify the confident expecta- tion that she has a brilliant: academical future before her. Miss Anwea Foulk Jones is the daughter cf Mr Foulk Jones, of Brodswel, Garth, and is 18 yearA of age. She obtained the junior certificate of the Central Welsh Board whil(, at the County School in 1901, raising h ;r status in 1902, and in the subsequent year gained the senior certificate, with "dis- tinction in three subjects. She. was success, fnl in obtaining the'honours certificate in September last, with distinction io French and French Misti FO\;{I{. Jone« is now working for her intermediate arts at, the Bangor University College, and we wish her the success which her per- severance and undoubtedly educational abilities will assuredly bring to her in .r,« future. English Congregational Church. The Hev. H. N. Henderson, of Dolgelle-y, who has recently been appointed minister of the English Congregational Church, Upprjr Bangor, will, we ar> informed, take up his new ministerial duties ni that church on the second Sunday in May. Chairman of Board of Guardians. We offer our cordial congratulations to Mr Hugh Thomas, the chairman of the Bangor and Beaumaris Guardians, who has just completed his 21 years of service as chairman of that body. We believe that with cne or two exceptions, no chairman of
