THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8th, 1934 Beer Barons Laugh With Glee Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn has announced that his government at Queen's Park will refund to municipalities twenty per cent of the revenues de- rivedi from the sale of beer and %vine in the munici- palities. Just what is behind the Premiers state- ment'is difficuit to understand. but from the view- point of an unbiased onlooker it smatters too much like a bribe to the municipalities or a bit of shrewd salesmanship on behalf of the beer barons who are being accused of exerting undue influence in this particular legislation. Mr. Hepburn's econom3- prograni has brought about many changes that will benefit the province, and he is to be commetided for his courage and deter- mination in many instances. He is planning the institution o! many new things that will further lighten the overburdened taxpayer. but when he forces municipalities to go into partnership with the breweries in sharing their profits he is ignoring the wishes of an intelligent electorate. We believe that the majority of municipalities in Ontario would, if given the opportunity. vote again-st the beverage rooms today. The whole thing is toc, much of a camouflage and smelîs more o! brewery propaganda than Sound pro- vincial legislation. We look for considerable object- ion to this measure by private members when the legisiature meets. If Premier Hepburn wants to do soinething use! ul for the municipalities, without baiting them to vote for beverage rooms, let bim offer them a share o! the gasoline tax collected in the municipality, or a portion, o! some other tax where the public will not be placed in sucb a compromising position as Mr. H-epburns present plans provide. It is to be sincere- Iy hoped that the Premier will help the municipal- ities financially. but that he will give Up this ques- tionable plan of helping them through a greater and more wide open flow o! beer and wine. Town Council Deserves Re-Eleci ion In less than two months the municipal eleclions wUll be the main bopîc o! discussion and for various reasons we are going 10 make a suggestion wbicb we believe will bave the support o! many vobers. Our suggestion is Ihat the 1934 Town Council be returned by acclamation. We are nol o!fering Ibis advice le save money, bec.ause a municipal election as !ar as cost is concerned is a trivial affair. Looking back over the record o! the presenl council we be- Ileve ils members shnuld be given another year to carry on ihe good work il bas acbieved. First. it bas been responsible for a two milI reduction in tbe Vax rate, and unless relief expendilure is excessive this winler, Ibis reduction should beý retained nexl year. and possibly reduced ancther mill. The council, wb-icb was expected by some 10 be the scene o! many verbal batîles, bas been notably bar- mnonious in il sessions. Every member bas endeavour- ed to co-operate witb the splendid leadership given by Mayor Ross Sîrike, and wbile lhey have not al- ways agreed witb birn, good sense bas been showýn and littie bickering bas resulted. True nothing ex- trernely important bas corne before council during the year oulside o! tbe lake road question, solution o! whicb depends upon others more tban the iouncil, but at the same time il bas been an exlremely dif- ficult Iask t0 take care o! the finances o! the munici- palily, secure bank co-operation, reduce the tax rate, and make collections o! taxes so mucb better. Mayor Strike and tbe members o! the 1934 council should bave the bearty appreciabion o! the entire lown for their services, and Ibis appreciation can be sbown in no more tangible manner, as weIl as 10 tbe mutual interest o! ail, than 'te re-elect the wbole board by acclamation. Give The Farmer A Voice It was front no lack o! pep thal the Liberal con- vention had a doctor for chairman, a doctor for secretary and Ihree medicai men as the chie! speak- ers. --Simcoe Reformer. This cannot he said o! the LiteraI convention aI Orono last week. The chairman. Reeve Cecil G. Mer- der, is a farmer, both nommnees for candidates were farmiers. The provincial member is a !armer, and the sitting federal member is a farmer. They have been opposed several limtes by farmers, both defealed candidates in the federal and provincial eleclions last held in ibis county teing farmers. On the whole the farmers sem 10 gel a very fair share o! repre- senlation in the County o! Durham, wbîcb bas a population o! over 25,000, o! whicb over 10,000 are residents o! towns and villages. The leadership show n by the farmers o! Ibis county is an indication o! tbe high type o! agricullurist in Durham wbo as a class well pi againsl any other county in the province, intelleclually, rnorally antd progressively. And Tbey Cali That Deinocracy' W. H. Moore. M. P., in the course o! a brilliant address ai the Liberai Convention last week told the story o! bis father baving- once voted Conservalive. and some yeaî's a! ber w-hen asked te vote ConservaI ive agaîn, î'eplîed, "I donI Ithink the Lord bas forgiven me for voting Toi-y the last time." Mr. Moore bold Ibis story 10 illustrale the old theory o! parly loyalty before anyîhing else. Today he stated people are breaking more and mnore away from the habit o! voting for Party before principle. While this ma3' be true to a certain extent, and illuslî'ated in the lasi Provincial eleclion, il Lt oniy parîly Irue. Most o! us ar'e awaî'e that a person wbo calis hîmsel! a Coný:ervative is seidom if ever seen at a Liberal convention, and likewise a professing LiteraI is seldom seen aI a Conservative convention. Il is really amazing just how ibis party loyalty bas gripped. There are thou,ýancis in Ibis country wbo would vote for their paî'Iy however corrupt il was, or however unable tbey wer'e 10 conduct the a!- f airs o! a province or the nation. It is unlikely however that our present system o! Party politics wil suIvive many more years.-' lime is coming when People will realize that country is millions of do:lars in debt and badlyg erned because of the system o! party politics. So wvill immediately cry "Wbat o! the opposition? we flot t0 have opposition?"
