YALE HAS NEW PLANS. Ottawa, Ont., Feb, 9—Canada’s Wa- terfalls power of 1922, from this power amounted to $81,- 600,000, according to a report issued Ly the IFederal Water Powers Branch of the Dominion government, Ontario, with Niagara Falls as its developed 3,000,000 horse- electrical energy during The revenue to manufacturers He Has Donc. Stockholm, Feb. 9.—The announce- ment of the resignation of lra Nel- son Morris, American minister to Sweden, has been received with ye- gret here, a feeling which is voiced by the leading daily papers of the capital and other cities, together with praise of his work during the eight peared in the Munich courts as the first female lawyer ever to practice in Germany. Miss Otto received the training for her role as the Father- land’s first Portia in schools at Wuerz- burg, Leipzig, Berlin and Munich. Bhe has been employed by a well-known law firm here for the last four years. The time has come should come a halt in absolving more property, held by organizations com- posed of many memb from tax- ation. It is not saying anything against these splendid organizations to assert that they are gquite as able to pay taxes as are the people—more able, proba- bly, for they are supported by more people than is the individual who has only himself to rely upon when it comes to paying taxes. The startling statement made by Representative Christ in the legislature that 14 per cent of the taxable property of the state is ex- empt from taxation. He opposed a certain exemption. Without passing upon the merits of this particular exemption, the taxpayer may well ap- prove the stand to examine closely any moves to further exempt property from taxation—the more exempt property there is, of course, the heav- jer the taxpayer's burden, and that burden must be lightened. gaining points which the allies be- grudged him, has made the lieve his power is feared greater degree than is the fact. matter of principle is a small one to him and he fails to see that he cannot play at the dangerous game of war without meeting united epposition from the allies. He even thinks Italy might aid him, and he is quite sure} that Russia is only waiting. It is unthinkable that England will back down from her stand warning the Turk against firing upon the war- ships before Smyrna, and it is almost as inconceivable that the Turk will not come to his senses before he dis- obeys that command.

He is probably well on that subject as ay other living being. He has mastered the electric spark and insult is the one who would dodge payment if he knew how. years singe he was appointed by Pres- ident Wileon. Grateful comment is made on Mr. Morrig’ helpfulness in smoothing out difficulties during the world war, and in preserving and pro- moting the friendship between the United States and Sweden, The Stock- holm Tidningen says: ““The mjnister's enthusiasnr for more active cultigal exchanges be- #ween the two countrips was genuine; he was prominent in the organiza- tion of the’ Sweden-America Kounda- tion, and he strongly endorsed the es- tablishment of the American-Swedish News Exchange.” “Minister and Mrs. Morris made many lasting friendships in Swedish soclety,” the Svenska Dagbladet re- marks, ‘“due to their charming per- sonalities and sincere kindliness to persons of all degrees.
