THURSDAY, AUGUST 23. 1951 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARJO In The Statesman mastbead on the editdrial page each weck will be found the legend, "Member af the Canadian Wcekly Ncwspapers Association." To mast people thisi means littie more than the fact that this newspaper belongs to an.association of newspaper pub- lishers. The purpose of the asso- ciation and what it does and bas done for weekly newspapers rs the Dominion is not sa wefl lx9n. 'ge Canadian Weekly News- papers Association is comprised of 550 weekly newspapers pub- lished in every province of Can- ada. It was organized primarily ta give service ta newspapers in the weekly field and to provide them with officiai representation in their business dealing with gov- ernments and national advertis- ers. It seeks ta place the whole newspaper profession on a high plane and ta aid constantly in the improvement of the service the individual newspapers render in their own communities. The success which has attend- ed the efforts of the Association in the promotion of better news- papers may be seen by the tre- mendous improvements in week- ly newspapers generally since the Association came inta exist- ence. Sponsoring of newspaper con- tests in the variaus circulation groups bas been one of the fac- tors cantributing ta this advance- ment. Through these contests newspapers throughout the Do- minion have improved immensely in the presentation of news, in the presentation of the advertising message. in typography and in gencral makeup. Originally weekly newspaper publishers held membership in the old Canadian Press Associ- ation, which was comprised of daily newspapers, weekly news- papers, business and other maga- zines. The founder of The Statesman. the late W. R. Climie, was the first secretary of this as- sociation. In 1921 the graups divîded into separate associations and the Canadian Weekly Newspapers As- sociation came into existence. The Association employs a secretary- manager who conducts the bus- iness of the Association and who issues a bulletin each month, in wbich general news of interest ta publishers appears. New ideas are passcd along ta other pub- lishers through this bulletin, and today it is rendering an increas- ingly important service. Each year the Association holds its annual convention, and the convention alternates between 11%eýestern, eastern and central Can- Adian cities. There are also sev- eral provincial divisions af the Association, which have separate executives and hold their awn conventions each year. The next time you read in thxe masthead on the editorial page that The Statesman is a member of the Canadian weekly News- papers, Association, you will know that this ncwspaper beiongs ta that Association ta make itself more prof icient in its task of serving this community. During 1951 individuels and business firms in Canada will in- vest about $3 billion out of sav- ings in machines, factories, equip- ment and other capital expendi- tures.

(By Lewis Milligan) Taxation is anc o! the penalties we bave ta pay for tbe privilege o! living in a civilized society. When prchistoric man lived in caves and roamed through the wilds as a nomad be did flot stay long enougb in anc place ta ac- quire prosperity and form a gov- ernment. He moved about seek- ing happier hunting grounds, but anc o! the main reasons for mav- ing bad ta do with sanitation, or the lack o! it. It was only when be got tired o! wandering and settled down that he began ta think politically and set up a gav- ernîent, and he bas been paying taxes ever since. Government is defined as "a systcm o! social cantrol fixed by laws promulgated by those who can enforce them by definite penalties," and taxation as "the usual means o! providing the rev- enue o! a govcrnment." If gov- ernments confincd themselves ta social control and the enforce- ment o! kaw and order, taxation would be very light. But in these days gavernments have gone far beyond that, and taxes are now imposed ta finance numeraus Public services, subsidies-, boun- ties, bonuses, etc., etc. Ail these are being multiplicd annually and calling for bigger budgets and soaring taxation. Tbat may be all right as long as we can afford it. But how long can wev afford it? The Prod- igal Son provides the answcr ta that question. He demanded from bis father "the portion o! goods (capital) that falleth ta me," and he wcnt off into a far country and "wasted bis substance in riotous living. And when be had spent ail . .. he hegan ta be in want." The saying, 'Waste not, want not," may have been sug- gested by that parable, and it applies ta pojitical as much as ta personal economics. The nation that lives on its capital is living on a wastîng asset, and is heading for a depression. A Canadian labor leader re- cently said he wanted neither Capitaiism nor Communism. He wantcd higher wages, shorter hours aI work, more public ser- vices-ahl-round social and econ- omic security provided hy gov- ernment. Just how these things could be provided without exces- sive taxation he did flot say. He bad better make up bis mind and choose between Capîtaiism and Communism, or eisc go and live with the nudists in the jungles of Central Africa, wbere he would have perfect econamic security without working, saving or pay- ing rent or taxes. But if labor continues long enough in its pal- icy o! "share the wealth" and the transfer o! personal respon- sibility for social security ta gav- ernment, it wiil wakc up anc morning and find that it bas chosen Communism, and lost its liberty in the hargain. The notions that government is a fabulously rich uncle, or a Midas that can turn anything into goid by the touch, are fatal delusions. Tbey are expressed in such say- ings as, "If the government can find the money ta finance war, it can do the same ta pravide social security for cverybody in time o! peace." But government docs nat "find" money for anytbing; it takes the money- out a! peopic's carnings by direct and visible means in the casc o! incarne tax, and by slcigbt-of-hand in sales taxes, wbich are the unfairest of ahl taxes because they are flot based upon ability ta pay. If a governmcnt cannat get enough by these means it borrows money and charges the dcbt ta the next gencration. That is why the people o! Britain are bard-up ta- day. They had ta lîve on their capital during the war. and the Labor Governmcnt bas been "do- ing the same" in the past five years o! peace. In "sbaring the wealth" it bas impoverishcd and discouraged enterprise, with the result that there is less real wcaltb ta share. It bas been said that "The pow- er ta tax is power ta dcstroy." But that is only truc whcn tax- ation runs ta seed or weeds that sap the sources o! wealth and de- stroy individual responsibility with "free" services and gratu- ities. It neyer secms ta occur ta those wha compiain about tbe What is an Agricuitural School Like? Is it much different fromn or- dinary schoois? There are over sixteen hundred graduates o! the Kemptville Ag- ricultural School wbo couid answer these questions today. They would tell you that this scbool, half-way between Pres- cott and Ottawa on No. 16 High- way IS different. Under direc- tion o! the Ontario Department of Agriculture, its main purpose is ta train young folk toward the land. In fact, 70 per cent of Ycar '51 graduates in agriculture are now on farms. It would be bard ta find manv rural coin- munities in Eastern Ontario with- out a graduate of K. A. S. in Ag- riculture. Home Economies or Dairy School courses. How many schoois bave 300 acres of land complete with cattle. borses, sheep, swine and pou!- try'? Small wonder that stud- ents revel in the freedorn o! suchi a labaratory! This is a big dit- ference providing sound sources~ o! down-to-earth learning. At least anc bal! a student's effort is far-removed from the ordinary class-room. His afternoons may !ind hirn "iearning by doing," whether in the cattie judging ring, the pouitry plant, weldîng shop or the orchard. With a school tcrm that opens on Octob- er 9th and ends April 9th, cost- ing about $230.00 ail expenses, the busy beginner soan finds that he is ready for the final ycar. Mean- whiie be bas a chance ta help at home in the urgent sprint and faîl seasans on the farm. Stud- ents are cxpectcd ta have at least Grade 8 educatian and be 16 years old before entering K. ý4. S. The Scbaol, in turn, brings to bim, through skilled instructors, an all-around knowledge o! the bus- iness and science o! farming. That is how so many successful graduates of the School establish- cd a firm future in agriculture. Girls are offered courses in Honje Economics with the same entrance requirements as boys. Fees, including room and board are most reasonable and do flot exceed $250.00 for any six month course. Girls, on graduation, Ire- quently are employed in tourist business or with firms as hostess- es or assistants ta dietitians. Life in residence offers Ici- lowship, pranks and pleasures that provide years o! fond mcm- ories, and promotes good citizen- sbip. 0f course the co-education- ai atmospherc makes for whole- some gaiety at social events, ath- letics and School dances. The Kemptville Agricultural 9cbool bas grown up with agri- culture in Eastern Ontario. Her extension staff range far and wide ta deal directly witb Iarm- ers' problems. Ontario farmers and their families. in turn, have made K. A. S. the agricultural centre of the East. Mr. A. M. Barr, B.S.A., an Axý- ricultural Representative f o r many years in this area, and a graduate of the Scbool, is the Principal. In recent ycars sons and daughters of former grads arc coming ta K. A. S. ta prepare their futures in agriculture, as did their fathers and mothers. K. A. S. is now proud ta be a family School with ber roots growing deep in the midst of Eastern On- t aria. It bas corne ta be that a coun- try is fortunate in bcing oniy undermincd by extravagance, soil erosian and margarine. Federation Directors Protest the Wrapping of Bacon Directors o! the Canadian Fed- eration o! Agriculture bave en- dorsed a protest from the bog producers' committee o! the Fed- eration against the rctailing of bacon in red-striped cellophane wrappers. Producers. and also consumers, say that this wrapper "tends ta deceive the buyer as ta its leanness." Other recommendations Irom the bog committee asked for live grading of hogs going to the U.S. market: for an investigation of the incidence of condemnatioin ini. surance on hags; and for a great- er proportion of hog prize manies at fairs in Canada ta be given ta the Yorkshire breed as being very largely in the majority among breeds considered best for pro. duction of high quality bacon.
