Citizen.

This calaanity, if it may be termed sulh, brings close home the undesirable -conditions vhich exist in many emaîl towns, and which we have discussed ln these columins before,' titat of outside bakers being allo'wed to peddl'e, the -Stateernian says, their goods ixi tovn wfthout paying fa'cent cf taxes.

Whitby's size, few if any tpe thefr place who -can be counted as citizens who vill pay heavy taxes, support churches. service clubs, patriotic organizations, and other institutions carrying on cotxnrunity vowl- fare work. It is a sad state of affaire. What la thé remedy?- Our citizens, we feel, have it largely in their hands. 1Commenting on the Bowmnanville Inci- dent Bride Broder writing in the Globe and Mai], has this comment ta make: "Is this, vo ask, economic -W.idorn.? W. doubt if there is any wisdom in the matter sa far as the invadingbakers are concern- ed. There certainly cannot be custom for haîf, or for quarter the number pf firms seeking ta skirn the cream of Bowmanviile's bread-using population. At the same time Bowmanville's merchants have twenty people leas able than they were before ta buy various commiodities, and the level o! prosperity ail round has been appreciably lowered. We, are net blaming the. firms that, entered Bowmanville fa-rn outaide with their wares - if they chose ta gambie on slim sales that is 'their affair. It is the citizens of the town who have doue a foolish thing, jusi as the citizens of unany ather smali tovus and villages have doue foolish things cf the same arder. --They have killed the goose that laid the golden egg. They have put eut o! busineqs some- thing that. vas a cause o! pride ta the tovu and, aliso, something that ba-ouglit it good, sound, honeat rnoney."

There ia one point ta keep in mind, however, accordiug te the ministea-*of higli- vays: the provincial gaverument liaq been placed lu a position wherein any issue e! debentures for capital expenditua-es must be appa-oved. by the fedea-al administration. This approval, we suggeat, may net be easy ta obtain on account o! the van. Aften. ail, the counties and townships have no neal complaint if the goveru-meut feels that fin- ances muet be coeserved for-war puiaposes, as they have been fairly genea-ously deait vith for a numbea- o! years.

A receut survey analysed the readiug. of a Michigan evouiug paper lu which it vas found that only eue pen~ cent o! vornen, read a fair sized auto equt-pment adveatise- mient, and the same applied ta a fuel advea- tisoment.

The local authonities had a.ccepted the fana- ily as eligible for relief, but when the pro- vincial Inspecter came on the scene he said the Province could make ne contribution for relief and.the towu would have ta as-, sumié fui! reiponsibility. It is clalmed the $400 house vas the point at issue.-'. Seemi te us the local investigatars kuev ail about the mani and the maniier in vhich he had erected a amali homeî for hirnself and his family.
