Sir,—ln The Dominion of January 13 ; Old Ago" states a distinct objection to any exemptions except on the ground of medical unfitness. He particularises on railway employees and parsons. I t>kip the railwayman. Ho is a very necessary person. With, regard to the parson, I noticed in the appeals from the ballot a case where a sawmill carter had applied for exemption. A member of the Inauiry suggested that as tha mill lie (the carter) ■worked for was close to another mill one- man could do the carting for both wills. How about ministers pooling their congregations? At this time of strife, Can religion bo classified as an essential industry P In the matter of pay, take the intetance of a man drawing a plump salary, who is exempted a* being indispousable. Would'it not be fair to allow that man the equivalent to solflier's pay and! the country tako the jbalance of his salary? This in a modi- , "fled form to be also applied to the halt !and the lame. Some such scheme," taking in all irhb camo under Schedule A, Juight have been, enforced simultaneously with the first ballot. —I am. etc., THOS. Pit AG-LEY. 1 ffllasterton, January 16, 1917.
