De WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1929 NAL Wy THE INDUSTRIAL AREA BILL There will be much disappointment in Oshawa because of the refusal of the attorney-general's department to sanction the passing of a private bill enabling Oshawa to take such steps as its citizens may decide for the creation of an in- dustrial area, Oshawa, of course, is being given the same treatment as several other cities which sought similar legislation, so that there can be no charge of discrimination against this city. There is bound to be a feeling, however, that the attorney-general's reason for refusing to sanc- tion the bill is somewhat far-fetched. His plea is that other municipalities would seek similar legislation, and that this would create such keen competition for industries that the evils of bonus- ing would again become apparent. Mr, Price, however, fails to recognize that these evils are strictly provided against in the present anti-bonusing legislation which is on the statute books of Ontario. In that act, the powers of municipalities to make concessions to industries are very closely limited, and there can be no giv- ing away of property to an industrial concern at a ridiculously low figure. There are some induce- ments, of course, which can be offered in the nature of fixed assessments provided the people of the community vote in favor of them, but when the transfer of property is involved, the act pro- vides that a fair price must be fixed by the county judge should any ratepayer feel that the city is giving something away. These provisions of the anti-bonus legislation make it practically impossible for the conditions which are feared by Mr. Price to arise, He has, however, made his decision, and it now devolves upon the city council and the Chamber of Com- merce to devise some other methods of providing for the establishment of young industries in the city of Oshawa, THE SAFETY LEAGUE The annual report of the Canadian National Safety League, a copy of which has just been received, shows the tremendous amount of educational work in the interests of safety being done by this organization. 'With its slogan of "Safety First," it is carrying on 2 ceaseless propaganda designed to create in the public mind a desire for safe conduct, whether it be on the street or highway, the school or the home, the office or the factory.' A tremendous volume of literature has been dis- tributed throughout Canada in the last year. 530,000 cards have been sent to motorists, 79,000 special traffic bulletins distributed, 171,200 school bulletins, 200,000 letters to parents, 53,900 industrial bulletins, and tens of thousands of other pieces of literature, all bearing the same slogan, "Safety First," and giving practical lessons in how to put it into effect, All' of this work is bound to have a good effect. Particularly impressive is the work' done in educat- ing the children in safety habits, for habits of this kind, acquired in the years of childhood, will not easily be cast aside. The League is carrying on a work which is' a distinct public service, and for which it deserves the greatest encouragement and commendation, PROTECTION FOR INVESTORS The failure of the hrokerage business of Heron and Co. and the disclosures of the reasons for that failure have focussed attention on the neces- gity of providing some safeguards for those invest ors who entrust their funds to brokers whom they commission to carry out their transactions for them. That there is a real need for some such safeguard is apparent from the statement made to a Toronto newspaper by one of the officials of the Trusts and Guarantee Company, which has been appointed to act as custodian of the assets of the bankrupt firm. . According to 'this 'official, the bankrupt firm bad become involved in difficulties soon after Christmas, and, through speculations made in an effort to recoup its losses, had gone short in the market, with the result that bankruptcy ensued. The most enlightening part of the conversation, however, followed tkis disclosure, as follows: 'But that was with other people's money?' " ' sald the reporter. " 'A brokerage business is not like a bank,' was the reply." : These two sentences are highly significant, They meant, in actuality, that there was no guarantee to an investor that his money would bé in safe keeping when en'rusted to a brokerage house, Of course, there are many brokers who wonld quickly repudiate that statement, and would as- gert that the money of their clients was safe in their hands as it would be in That 8 how it" should be. If there. can guarantee of safety, or protection 'tor the investor, 'or the speculator, if you like, the whole fabric of the brokerage business falls to pieces, and the public ean no longer have confidence in it. If the above statement is: characteristic of the general ,attitude, however, then there is meed of legislation to remedy such a situation. The main protection which the public has in-dealing with a bank is the fact that banks are, rigidly.inspected, and have to comply with stringent regulations im- posed for the safety of the depositing public. = When a man places his funds in the hands of a: brokerage firm, he is depositing it in the same way, and should have the same legal protection as in the case of a bank. This would mean reg- ulation and inspection, and while such might not be welcome to these firms which subscribe. to the theory that dealing with a brokerage company is not the same as dealing with a bank so far as guarantees are concerned, they would certainly be welcomed by the general public and by those firms who have nothing to fear from such regula-. tions. THE MEXICAN REVOLT Despatches from Mexico indicate that the present revolution there is a serious one, and that the government is in grave danger of being overthrown, The situation is all the more seri- ous because it has become apparent that religious troubles are behind the revolution, and that some- thing akin to a holy war has been proclaimed by the rebel leaders. People living at this distance, and unfamiliar with the actual conditions under which the Cath- olic churches have been suppressed in Mexico, can hardly understand the bitter enmities which have' been created by the struggle between church and state for the mastery. The government attitude has been that the church must relinquish control of the schools and must cease to use its influence in political affairs. The Catholics, on the other hand, are fighting a desperate hattle for religious freedom, and the successes won by the rebels in the initial stages of the fighting are proof of the fervor which has been aroused by the appeal of the church. 0 : Mexico has been through so many revolutions in the last decade or two that people have come to look with perfect equanimity om such affairs. Changes of government and of leaders have been so frequent, on account of the cheapness of human life, that it has been hard to keep pace with them. So another change of government may mean that a few more people will lose their heads, a differ- ent set of leaders will take charge of things and will fatten themselves at the expense of the people, and will continue to do so until the next revolu- tion finds them facing a firing squad, EDITORIAL NOTES When it is said that an office has sought the map, it is usually an office with no salary attached to it. And the same cymics might well say that 'troubles never come singly" on reading of a man whose store was burned while he was being married, Lloyd George claims to have a new cure for unemployment. But he is very careful not to let any of the other political leaders have an oppor- tunity of applying it, A woman in St. Thomas apologized for walking in front of a car." Most people who make that mistake have very little opportunity to apologize --in this world, at least. | - Other Editors' Comment ~ TOO MANY ORFFICIALS (Midland Free Press) The delegates in Ottawa from the United Boards of Trade and Cambers of Commerce touched a vital spot in the Canadian Government system when they asked for a commission to investigate why so many officials were required, It has been said that every eighth man in the Dominion is connected in some way with &'position for which the people pay the price, With a population of about ten million, there is a swarm of officials scattered over the country drawing salaries but in many instances giving little in return. ------------ PRESERVING THE OLD CEMETERIES (London Free Press) The Free Press has on many occasions urged the necessity of preserving and caring for the neglected graves of the pioneers of Ontario. There is nothing sadder than to drive through Ontario. and see the old cemeteries overrun with weeds and the tombstones tumbled over, There are not- able exceptions, as, for instance, the cemetery at Tyrconnell, where Colonel Talbot, the picturesque pioneer of Elgin County, is buried, and the grave- yard at St. Johns, near London, where are interred many of the original settlers of Middlesex county. ---------------- GAME REFUGES To .

(Read: Romans 12:1 to 16). MEDITATION: A church united and harmonious is a wholesome support to the religious life. It incorporates us in itself, interweav ing our several lives in its own fabric. These brethren in my church are a part of myself. In their faults as in their virtues I share. If I am critical and cen= sorious, it is myself that I am at- tacking, my own strength that I am shattering. We are one body and if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it. If my church is torn and weakened by any dissension I am the loser. In patience, forbearance, yielding my will and opinion, I am contribu- ting to my own good. So, if occa- "Grandpa's teeth are all gone, and ["sion arises, let me have the beau- titude of the peacemaker, PRAYER: O God, who are love, grant to thy children to bear one another's burden in perfect good will, that Thy peace which passes understanding may keep our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen. . --Book of Hours. -------------------- ALL THE TIME Mrs. Green bought a sundial and had it erected in her garden.

There are two old comrades of the sea to whom the appeal voiced' by Madefield must have particular significance, but they cannot respond, and the run- ning tide probably never again will carry its former friends gown to the sea. In an obscure section of Dorches- ter Bay, the steamer Yankton, once identified with royalty 'and later a unit of the United States navy, lies at a pier, unnoticed and forgotten, while the schooner Charles Whitte- more, formerly considered one of the finest in the coastwise trade, is beached in the mud at East Boston, her seams opened, stern burned away, and only one of the original four masts standing. The career of the Yankton was varied. Once owned by King Ed- ward VIII. and other personages, she later became attached to the United States navy and made a bril- liant record in war and peace. Then followed service as an outlaw rum runner and a freighter in eastern trade. Finally legal difficulties causing several changes of owner- ship ended her career. The Yankton, built at Leith, Scotland, in 1893, wag originally known as the Penelope, Sarah Bernhardt purchased the vessel, re- named it the Cleopatra, and pre- sented it to King Edward VIII Then the ship was acquired by the late Colonel Harry E. Converse of Malden, Mass, and bore the name Sapphire. In May, 1898, she was purchased by the United States Government for $125,000, and converted into a gunboat, seeing active service in Santiago harbor during the Span- ish-American war. In 1907 she preceded the battleship squadron on the round-the-world voyage order- ed by President Roosevelt to de- monstrate the United States naval strength.
