Double Income Tax. Last week Ar George Reid expressed's farvent hope that the Imperis? Government would con- vene s ́conference of Dominica representatives, so as to disemmi industrial, economic," and de fensive problems. This coursD was strongly advocated a year ago, but it was held by the higher authorities in London that it was not opportune while the Empire was in the throes of a huge war for an Imperial conference to be held. "Now, how- ever, there is more sympażby felt in official quarters with the iden that in spite of the protracted war, the loyalty and support of distant dominions demand due recognition and questions have since arisen which might be die- cussed with profit to the Empi ssa whole.

In these days when fevery little village in England has its elected Parish Council and the humblest agricultural labour er possesses the Parliamentary franchise, such a system as that which obtains in this Colony is an. anachronism and stands self- condemned.
