That is a ray of light that has a comforting effect. Is it possible that they have got tired of trying Against Higher Taxation. (Prince Rupert News.) Victoria ratepayers made a dead set last week against any increase in capital expenditures by turning down three by-laws. The vote was so de- cisive that it is probable no attempt will be made to introduce another for some time to come. One of the by-laws was for the purchase of a landing field for the purpose of establishing the city as) an airport. The other two were for repaving streets. | The action of the ratepayers in Victoria re- flects pretty well the attitude of taxpayers in other cities, who feel that the mill rates are already as high as they can stand. One of the editorial ENGLA POLITICS | With deserters among the radical Socialists and | conservative Liberals becoming frequent, the Mac-| Donald Laborite Government is having a hard time | it to hold ascendency in Great Britain. Thpj only thing, seemingly, that prevents the Conserva- tives from going back into power is the adherence of their leaders to the Protection theory. The Mac- | Donald Government holds a steadfast majority on | one and, apparently, one only—and that is; Free Trade. Great Britain is for Free Trade al-| most as stanchly as she was when the exegencies of | politics forced Lord Beaconsfield to declare that in} England Protection is defeated and damned | If the Conservatives should come into power in| Great Britain it is not likely they would remain so| for long. Mr. Baldwin as Premier could not fail to attempt to introduce the principle of Protection and | he would probably be forced out of office again| just as he and his party have been retired several times on that issue, | Until the Conservatives abandon their high | tariff policies, a combination of conservative Labor- | ites and Liberals, as typified by Sir Ramsay Mac-, Donald and Lloyd George, will probably not remain out of power for long at any one time. of issue { ALASKA CLAIMS LARGEST FOREST RANGER DISTRICT. The United States Forest Ranger at Juneau, | Alaska, is manger of an “estate” more than seven-; eighths as large as the State of Massachusetts. Although ranger districts in National Forests in thickly- set s may.contain as little as 000 acres, the Ranger at Juneau must look after | 4,549,000 acres in the Tongass National Forest. In patrolling his district, the Ranger travels mainly | by motor boat because of the many inlets and straits | where the timber comes down to the water's edge. Hence the term “sea-going rangers” applied to the | forest officers in Alaska. Comment on this is made | in a recent Department of Agriculture clipsheet. ‘ In the States the largest Ranger District is the | Big Pine in the Inyo National Forest, Calif, where the ranger looks after the protection and manage- ment for continuous production of timber, forage, wild life, recreation, and watershed values on 924,- | 845 acres. Incidentally, there are 32,000 head of‘ sheep and cattle grazing in the California ranger district, while the Alaska ranger claims to “go him | one better” with a few thousand head of moose.'; deer, mountain goats, and bear. Other ranger districts in the Tongass National | Forest in Alaska vary from one to four million acres. In the Chugach, northernmost of all the National Forests, a ranger takes care of as much as 3,000,000 acres. THE LARGE CITY. , Tt is difficult to compare the population of New York and London, though the weight of the evidence Justifies the claim of London for first place among the cities of the world. However, Mayor Walker is head of many thousands more people than the Lord Mayor of London, and the New York Board of | Aldermen gives laws to many more than the London | County Council. What is known as London within | the “Outer Ring,” over which the Metropolitan Po- | lice has jurisdiction, is larger than New York in| both population and area. On the other hand, considered as a metropolllmf center, including the urban districts of New York,| New Jersey and Connecticut, the New York center is far greater than that of London. So also, it is claim- ed, is the British industrial district that includes Liverpool, Manchester, etc. A REFERENDUM? The sheet of the Methodist Episcopal Board | of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals, says: Prohibition is stronger today in the sup- port it is receiving from the people than at any other time since 1922. The past three months have seen a near- revolution in public sentiment. Whereas, three months ago, Prohibition- ists could claim with certainty only a ma- jority in the United States the ascendancy THEN WHY NOT of the principle and policy is today com- 5 manding. If National Prohibitionists really believe that is true, why not agree to subm the question of National Prohibition to a referendum? If Prohibi- tion would get a great majority of the American people in a nation-wide referendum it would silence opposition for many years. MAY SERVE HUMANITY. Dispatches say American banks are ready to help save Germany from collapse. They almost have to save her. Our banks and capitalists have s0 much money behind Germany, German industries, Ion the job he’ll help bring prosperity back. | Tribune.) writers in the Victorial Colonist, commenting on says There was a deeper significance in the vote on the money by-laws than merely the crushing defeat of the measures—and that significance is capable of more than a local application. There was a note of warning which should be carefully considered by poli- ticians at large as well as by our muni- cipal politicians. The significance of the vote was that the people who pay taxes will submit to no further increases of taxa- tion. And the ratepayers of Victoria, in re- cording their votes, registered the views of thoughtful people in all parts of Canada. For many years the tendency has been in the direction of higher and still higher rates of taxation, In the Victoria by-laws the vote was ten to one against the airport scheme and four to one against each of the paving schemes. We believe today that the only expenditures that are made by municipalities should be those that will give the largest possible amount of labor for the expenditures involved. The Capital of Africa. (New York Herald Tribune.) New York, as a Negro city, the census figures confirm, is growing. The 73,061 Negroes who al- \ready made Harlem the capital of the Negro race {in America back in 1920 had swelled to 224,670 in 11930, and the black tide had flowed west of BEighth |Avenue and up to Washington Heights, so that the Negro center now includes close to a third of a million sons and daughters of Africa—and of America. Harlem-in-Manhattan is the greatest Negro city in the world today and the greatest| Negro city in history. | Harlem is a mushroom growth, but the New York | landed B.

Eleven Negroes landed in New Amsterdam in the first year of its colonization, 1626; and by the end of that century 2,170 Negroes lived in New York—5 per cent. of its population. It was a free Negro, Samuel Fraunces, who gave his name to Fraunces’, Tavern, where General Washington dined and where New Yorkers are proud to eat today. New York City had free schools for Negroes before it had free schools for whites. And in recent years New York' has been the home of many of those superb Negro artists who have written new chapters in the his-| tory of art in America—men like Charles Gilpin, | who won his fame here in “The Emperor Jones”; Richard Harrison, whose Lord God Jehovah has startled on lookers at “The Green Pastures”; Countee | Cullen and Langston Hughes and James Weldon | Johnson and other poets and novelists, singers like Roland Hayes and Paul Robeson, scores of others known wherever the international language of art and music reach i To such men Harlem is, or has been, home; and New York is to Negroes all over the world today something of what Rome was to the old Roman' world and Athens in its heyday to Greater Greece. To some New Yorkers “Harlem” still means only a region of dark-skinned night clubs and a lodging- | house for elevator boys and household servants; others are proudly aware that Harlem is the capital of a race and the seat of a culture. !
