Powers and Stone, Inc., New Tork and Chicage, | m------ ---- SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1929 TR---- THE 1929 BUDGET Apart by those who are moved by purely political be well satisfied with the budget which was intro- considerations, the people of 'Canada generally will duced in the house of commons yesterday afternoon by the Hon. J. A, Robb, It is notable, perhaps, for its lack of tariff changes, and for its abolition of cer- tain taxes which were imposed as special war meas- ures but which now, thanks to the buoyancy of the country's revenues, have now become unnecessary. There will be few to complain of the reductions which have been made in tariff schedules, They are few in number and are the direct result of investi. gations made by the tariff advisory board, The fin- ance minister evidently adopted the policy of letting well enough alone, and refrained from tinkering with ; tariffs, which might have had a detrimental effect on some part of the pation's industrial fabric, The reduction of the sales tax will be welcomed as another step towards its gradual abolition, Mr, Robb recognizes the fact that to wipe it out at one stroke would be a hardship on those dealers and merchants who had stocks of goods on which they had 'paid the full tax, and that the safest way is to eliminate it step by step, It can be taken for granted that this reduction will be carried on for the next two years until the sales tax is abolished altogether, The abolition of the taxes on railway and stcam- ship tickets, telegrams and cables, does away with taxes which might well be termed "nuisance taxes," since they were small in extent, but caused a great deal of trouble and inconvenience. These taxes were made necessary by the strain of the war on the na- tional treasury, and their removal is an indication that Canada is gradually getting back to normal fin- ancing, although her requirements for the payment of interest on war debts, and for pensions and carc of disabled ex-service men, are still very high, The one feature which will cause disappointment is that there has been no reduction in the income tax, nor in the method of computing it, The government has been urged to reduce this to at least the same | level as in the United States, and in so far as it ap- plies to the income and dividends of corporations, There is a widespread fecling that the application of the income tax as it applies to these sources of in- come is unfair to both corporations and investors, and that it is hampering the investment of capital in this country, With so large a surplus, and pros- pects of still further improvement in the national finances, the finance minister might well have made some changes for the better in the income tax schedules, On the whole, however, the budget will be a pop- ular one with the great mass of people in this couns try, except, of course, in those cases where political considerations are the deciding factors in the formu- lation of an opinion, CANADA'S FINANCES The review of the financial position of Canada, as given in the budget speech of the Hon, J. A, Robb, yesterday, makes good reading for the people of Canada. Mr, Robb, is fortunate in being the finance minister at a time when Canada is enjoying a period of prosperity and expansion unparallelled in the his- tory of the country, That fact has played a large part in the reduction of debt and taxation which he has accomplished in the last few years, and undoubt- edly had a great deal to do with the optimistic state- ment which he was able to present to the house of commons. . The reduction of the national debt by $69,782,000 in the twelve month period ending on March 31 next means 3 good deal to the national treasury, since it relieves the country of $3,300,000 a year in interest charges, Equally satisfactory is the statement that Mr, Robb expects to be able, in August, to pay off in cash a $60,000,000 loan which matures at that time, For the last few years, many of the loans raised to help finance the war have been paid off in this way, decreasing interest charges, and lightening the bur- dens of taxation on the people, The buoyant nature of the country's revenues is another source of satisfaction. In spite of the de- creased rates of income and sales taxes, the revenues from these sources have shown a substantial increase, while the customs and excise revenues are also high- ér, This can be attributed to two main reasons, first, the unusual prosperity of the country which _ makes these revenues possible, and second, the tight- ening up of the customs regulations at the border points, For both of these reasons, the people of Canada have good cause to be satisfied with the statement, Another favorable point is that Canada, for the first ten months of the fiscal year, shows a favorable trade balance of $154,000,000. While a large part of this favorable balance is made up of the exports of farm producc in their raw state, and other raw ma- terials, it is satisfactory to know that the people of - cern which means so much to Oshawa, The Mc- " Kinnon concern is a substantial one, manufacturing THE this country are selling so much more goods to other + countries than they are importing, It would be an advantage, it is admittéd, to have much of the raw materials exported progessed in this country, thus providing labor and helping to build up industry, and this is a problem to which the government needs to give a great deal more consideration, The natural result of the constant improvement in the finance of Canada should be the provision of relief from the burdens of taxation. This process, however, must of necessity be slow, for the war debt still stands at a tremendous figure, being far in excess of two billion dollars, and it would be unreasonable to expect reductions in the national debt and in taxation at the same time, Still, progress in both di- rections are being made, and with a continuance of the present prosperous conditions, it should be pos- sible to maintain this progress for some years to come. oe THE McKINNON INDUSTRIES DEAL Se ------ The deal by which the General Motors of Canada, Limited, adquires the McKinnon Industries, of St. Catharines, is another big step forward for the con- many of the parts used by the General Motors of Canada in the manufacture of automobiles, and the taking over of the former company by the latter means a centralization of production under one firm which cannot but make for greater efficiency in the production of the General Motors products. This step forward by The General Motors of Can- ada must force a recognition of the great future which lies ahead of the automobile industry. There are those scaremongers who talk of automobile produc- tion reaching the saturation point, and of hard times to come for the industry, Such talk is absuvd, for the automobile industry is still a youngster in indus- trialism, It is, of course, a healthy youngster, but it stands only on the threshold of life, looking forward to the days of full growth which are still a long way ahead. In that greater growth of the future, the General Motors of Canada, Limited, is sure to play an ever increasing part, and the acquiring of the St, Cathar- ines concern is a sign of the determination of the company to keep ahead of the times, and to remain in the forefront of those companies which are sup- plying the needs of the motoring public, ANOTHER INDUSTRIAL BOOST Announcement is made today of the fact that the Du Plate Safety Glass Company of this city has now reached the production stage, and this company can now be welcomed as one of the active industries of the city, Announcements of this kind are always welcome, They mean an addition to the sources of employment ° in the community, and to the amount of money dis- bursed in wages to the employees. These two factors both make for the building of a larger and more pros- perous city, and every industry, no matter how small, which opens its doors in Oshawa, has potentalities which mean much to the citizens, The Times rejoices to find the Du Plate Safety Glass Company now at' the production stage, and joing with the citizens in wishing it the greatest of in-its busi operations, EDITORIAL NOTES Perhaps the experiment in China will teach the Reds that other races like to run their own affairs just as much as they do. A mental specialist claims that there is not one child in Toronto who is not nervous. That, of course, is only one of the handicaps of living in Toronto, Ontario spent $67,000 last year in advertising for tourists, and collected over $700,000 in revenue from various kinds of licenses issued to them, 'It pays to advertise, The difference between Mr. Robb's budget and that of Mr. Monteith is that the former does not believe in spending all the revenue he can rake into the treasury. The British miners' needs for assistance are grow- ing more acute every day, which makes the need for contributions to the fund being raised by The Times all the greater. It is stated that a band of wolves is on its way from Northern Ontario to Toronto. Probably this is re- turning the visit of the Toronto wolves who take their holidays in the north in the summer, « Other Editors' Comment ~ BUT THERE AREN'T THAT MANY (From the Calgary Albertan) A conversation we would like to sit in on (for a little while) would be one about Einstein's new theory by three or four men who really understand it, "FREEDOM OF THE SEAS" (Saint John Times-Globe) The United States has a way of changing its inter- pretation of the "freedom of the seas" according to whether somebody is in its way or it wants to stand in the way of another. , THE LAND OF THE FREE (Brantford Expositor) After March 15, bre: , issued by the gov- ernment, will control the purchase of the staff of life in Russia.

The throat was a trifle red but was not sors, there was no trouble in chest or andomen. Nevertheless there was the chill, the high temperature, and the rapid bounding pulse, Neither the patient himself nor his colleague, although they were both physicians, were able to diagnose the trouble, The pulse and temperature re- mained up for four days, The tem- perature got down to normal by the sixth day, but the pulse remained fairly rapid for another couple of ays. All this time the patient remained in bed, and the only treatment given was a liquid diet and laxative for in- testine, The patient felt weak for some days after he got about on his feet. He found he got out of breath easily for some weeks afterwards but gradually got real well again with no signs of any damage to heart or other organs, What is my this incident ? That a chill is Nature's warning to you. It is Nature's method of try- ing to create extra heat for you because something has entered your system, some harmful organisms, and your own fighting organisms begin fighting them off, First there is the chill, then the temperature or fever, with increased pulse rate, This physician by going immediate- ly to bed when he felt the chill gave his fighting forces a real chance to battle for him, The high temperature and the rapid bounding pulse showed defin- itely that real trouble was under way.

Mothers Warned Of Colds That Follow the Flu Attack Weakened System and Pave Way for Pneumonia or New Case of Influenza. BEST TREATED EXTERNALLY Physicians advise that the chief danger in this epidemic is after influenza. Then, more than ever, cold atta'king the weakened sys- tem may lead to bronchitis, pneu- monia, or a second and more se- vere case of flu. This is espe- cially true of children. Flu nearly always leaves the stomach upset. Internal medica- tion should, therefore, be avoid- ed, as it so often further disturbs the digestion and thus retards re- covery. But if a fresh cold comes. don't let the child keep it overnight. Just rub Vicks on throat and chest at bedtime. As it is applied exter- nally, Vicks can be used freely even on the youngest chid, with no fear of upsetting a delicate stomach. Vicks acts 2 ways at once (both absorbed and inhaled) the cold and avoid serious com- plications, And, of course, it is just as good for adults. to check ' Contract Signed Putting End To Soviet-British Mar. 2. -- Announce- Moscow, ment was made yesterday that a contract has been signea enaing the Soviet-British oil dispute by which the British are again given access to the Russian oil fields and providing for large purchases of Soviet oil by Sir Henry Deter- ding, managing director of the Royal Dutch Shell Companies.

The project at tracted much interest in shipping cir- cles, and if the trip of the Vedas is successful it was hoped that perhaps six vessels would go to the ice fields from Nova Scotia next year. Captain C. A. Murley, veteran master of sealers, commands the Vedas.
