THRSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1934 *Consumer Is Master of the Situation Major P. Ashley Cooper, Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company, in an address before retailers at the Canadian National Exhibition related some very obvious trutlis with regard to merchandising in Canada. Speaking under the caption "The Consumer is Master." Major Ashley stated that evolution in bus- iness has been working toward one great objective, "the greatest number of goods, for greatest number t,! people at the lowest possible cost." In the process o! this evolution it is impossible, lie added, to forecast what particular type of merchandise organization will survive. whether the individual store, the de- partment store. the chain store or some other. The consumer is the master of ail merchant.s and the consumer will decide thie fate of each Prom these remarks it may be gatliered that on the consumer rests the prosperity o! the country. If the consumer in making a fetish of bargain hunt- ing, by so doing lie or she encourages sweated labor, then they should not be unduly appalled by the rev- elations which are constantly coming to liglit. There is no doubt that the average buyer believes in living and let live, but in purcliasing they are careless enougli to ignore the facts that cheap merchandise o! ten means cheap labor, which so often comes riglit baclc to their own factory wliere they are employed. Neyer in the history o! this country was there sucl abounding prosperity as when wages were higli and .living costs correspondlngly higli. The farmner re- ceived a fair return for his produce, the worker re- ceived a fair return for his labor, and while tlie cost o! living was relatively higli, everyone had the money to purchase the necessities of if e, and a !ew luxur- ies to boot. The consumer therefore is master o! the situation. By forcing big business to seil at un- reasonably 10w levels you are forcing down the standard of living for the worker. This in turn les- sens public buying power and the resuit is a small market for much produce, small prices and depres- sion. Developing Greater Tourist Business The Dominion Government, througl its newly ap- pointed director o! Canad.lan Travel Bureau, D. Leo Dolan, las wiseiy lnaugurated an advertising cam- paign in the United States to bring a greater autumn tourist traffic to Canada. While thousands o! our cousins to the south visit Canada every year tiere are thousands more who could le induced to comne to Canada and not only lave a most pleasant holi- day themselves, but incidentally aid Canadian busi- ness. It is remarkable, iowever, tiat arn educational campaign on tourist possibilities in Canada should le needed in this Dominion. There are comparative- ly few Canadians wlo lave seen one quarter o! the magnificent holiday reJ:orts and scenic beauties rigit lere in Canada. Mr. C. L. Burton, President o! the Robert Simipson Company, on returning f rom a trip througi the Maritimes last week, stated tiat tle Maritimers are disconcerted by the tendency o! our people to cross the ine for holidays, wlen those wio have lad experience at seasicle areas of both coun- tries, even the Americans themselves, wonder h0w we get that way. They think we forget that Nova Scotia and other parts of tie Maritimes lave ac- quired f rom a tourist standpoint some o! tie finest tributes in poetry and prose ever written. Certainily one does not need to be possessed o! any deep senti- ment or perception to be stirred by the scenery and other attractions o! Nova Scotia, wiere Mr. Burton spent most o!is time. The Oovernment miglit do weli to institute a See Canada First Campaign in our own Canadian news- papers. This in conjunction with thie attractive ad- vertising in the United States papers shouid make the tourist industry one o! Canada's primary busi- nesses. One could look around our own county and find hundreds who have toured tirougl tle United States and lave yet to visit tie beauty spots o! Canada. It's time we gol away from tle fact that "faraway fields look greener," and find out the truti thal no fairer scenic beauties can le found tian those within our own borders. Crime News in Daily Press Stimulates Unhealthy Imaginations We have o! ten discussed the prollem o! the pub- lication o! crime news, and we seldomn feature this type of news in The Statesman. Leading American newspapers ai-e leginning to question the social de- sirability o! devoting so mudi space 10 tie more sensational crime news. Psychologists have long re- cognized that when the activities o! gangsters and outlaws are prescnted in glorified !orm in the press they stimulate unhealiy imaginations and unwhole- some desires. Those newspapers wiich make a specialty o! crime news defend themselves by replying tiat they are merely holding up a iîror to the actual happenings o! the day. This of course is sheer iypocrisy. They are flot mirroring the adlivities of tle day in any sense o! the word. They are merely mirroring the sensational, the sensual and sexuai. In these dom- munities where crime is given sudh great play in tie daily newspapers there are far more worthwhile hap- penings that never appear in print. Social, church, municipal, fraternal gatherings and affairs Ihat are seldom featured, and yet are as much a part of the constructive activilies of the community, and con- cern far more people tian does crime. The result is obvious. The large cilles are the crime centres for no other reason than that crime is continually mirrored to city dwellers in their news- papers. One can take any smail centre served ly a newsnper which publishes very sparsely. or flot at aIl of crime news, and île result is very little crime. The every day activilies o! tle community are pict- ured and the result is a keen interest in these affairs. Metropolitan newspapers may judge from their own columns what a iealtly interest in tie better thlngs it can encourage by taking stock o! ils own sports section. This attradîs tiousands who are in- terested in sport. Sport on the whole encourages a dlean type o! living, encourages ambition, whlle crime news encourages the opposite. Of course sonie dlaim that the trial and puxishment o! crirainals tends te warn others to keep to narrow paths, but so many are neyer brougît te justice ini these enliglit- ened times, that that too is only a flimsy excuse. The Statesman Gets the Hepburn Economy Axe in the Neck In the past few weeks while the Hepburn economy axe at Queen's Park has been so freely weilded, we have o! ten stopped momentarily to wonder what the feelings are o! the faithfui public or civil servants who corne within its broad swath. Now we know, for last week we recelved from Hydro Electric Power Commission o! the Province o! Ontario, a curt letter informning us that the Commission's subscription te The Statesman, havlng expired would not le renewed. And so having lest a good paying subscriber we feel something like those who have had their govern- mental heads lopped off. To be candid we otten wondered why the Hydre Commission at Toronto took The Statesman for so many years. We have corne to this conclusion, there could be little of news value to members of the Commission, so that the Commission must solely have used The Statesman for inspiration. For many years, as the brimUant and sane editor o! The Globe, Chairman T. Stewart Lyon must have received week- ly inspiration from The Statesmn. No cloubt that did much to make hilm outstanding as a newspaper man. Perhaps the operation o! the Hydre systeni does not cail for se much inspiration as the directing genius o! "Canada's National Newspaper." But we stifl think that Thie Statesman editorils m.lght have pro- vided much food for thougt for the new Hyd.ro dhairman and bis colorts had they continued to read them, especially when we served two years on the local Hydre Commission and can the.refore fairly well interpret for leadquarter's consumption the views o! the forgotten maxi back home lI the municipal- ites wlo pays the shot. Let's Have a Back-to-Church Sunday There is force and power ini the co-operative ef- fort. People like to move with the crowd and le- corne part o! a great movement. One o! the needs o! the hour is de! mite, strong leadership, along Christian teaching. People are looking for this lead- ership and especially are the youth waitixig for action. They are not fully satisfied with conditions and ask many questions whidl they feel slould be explained, yet tley are hunting for a leadership that will be positive. Middle aged men and women are f inding it difficult 10 arouse entlusiasm iin their respective dhurcies. Present day conditions lave sapped their f aith and they are watching develcpments. Such is the condition that faces the people to-day. They want leadership and definite teaching. They want to find a true comfort and a power that will enable tiern t0 live in peace and contentment. Where can this be found? In business life, In pleasure-seeking, in acquiring power or in tle church? If men will find perfect peace and true content- ment in lie they must start as tle child in simple f aith and attend the public worship o! God. It is the one place where there is the readixg o! tle Book o! Books and tie teaching o! tle principles that lave been a force in the reconstruction o! tle world. Witl these people wio are seeking for trul ail united there could be organized in this community a big Back-to-Clurcl Sunday. It would become a challenge to the men and women and the youth to corne and hear tie truth. It would le a stimulus and challenge to tie leaders in the variaus groups and dhurcies to put forth a special effort to give de! mite leadersiip and teaching that will rekindle the f ire in the souls o! the people. In short, such a Sunday would le the laying o! a founidation for greater spiritual life lere. It is what the people waxit and now is tle opportune time. New Sources of Taxation The Ontario Association o! Rural Municipalities, in annuai session in Toronto last week, werc on the lookout for new sources o! taxation. By resolution lhey caîl for a graded tax on ail bonds and mortgages, and a lospital tax on meals in laidls and restaur- ants. They also favor a gasoline tax, witi the condition that the revenue denived thereby shal le ail appiied to roads. The proposals are not new, ail leing in effect in some part o! tle Dominion. In Quclec the meal tax for lospitais bas been collected for several years and las proved quite effective in providing money for thie public institutions. As to certain bonds there is already a federal tax, while the gasoline tax las been wlth us, Io, these many years. the complaint in connection with it being that the returns tierefroni have been tirown int general fund instead o! kept separate for llglway purposes. The resolutions, however, are not witiout menit and sponsored as they are by an influential body such as tle O. R. M. A., plus tle fact that they are con- structive in characten tley should, and doubtiess wiil, receive careful consideration when they readh tle provincial governiment, to which ail are the subjects o! concern.
