The situation revealed in Thursday's Reformer with regard to the fire insurance rates in Oshawa requires the attention at once of the Town Council, the Board of Trade and semi-piiblic bodies, Trans- ference of the increase in rate, which was imposed by the Fire Underwriters in November, 1918, from a surcharge, which it has been up until recently, to part of the regular rate, is convincing proof that insurance companies have no intention of removing this impost, This permanent increase in the rates is twenty- five cents on the no eo-insurance rate.

In so far as the evils of betting are concerned most people will agree with the Grit Organ, but they cannot follow its line of argument when it comes to placing responsibility. The Globe blames the Ontario Govermment for collecting a tax on those who place bets. The paper also attacks the Drury Administration for allowing race meets to be held within the confines of the Province. Surely the paper does mot expect the public to be so stupid as not to know wheve to place the responsibility. The Federal, not the Provincial, Government is to blame for race meets being held in Canada, and until the Government at Ottawa changes the present legislation it is foolish to storm at Queens Park. The Toronto paper in question answers this charge by saying that Ottawa is too far away and that they must five their broadsides at the Provincial Govern- ment. This is 2 somewhat lame admission to make by a paper which claims to be "Canada's National Newspaper." When it comes to tariff matters, as in 1911, The Globe does mot find Ottawa too far away. Perhaps a poor excuse is better than none, but The Globe will be forced to do some hand think- ing before it can find a poover excuse than the one Galt City Council has set aside $500 to be used by the Plaggrounds' Association to fix up open air rinks this winter.
