WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1929 INCOME TAXES The proposal of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce board of directors to have the whole question of 'dominion and municipal income tax considered, with a view to?ormulating a policy to be presented to the '#nnual convention of the Ontarip Associated Boards "of Trade and Chambers of Commerce, is interesting. * There has long been a feeling in the minds of the "igreat majority of people that the income tax methods ""at present in force are grossly unfair. Specific men- tion has been made of the regulation whereby the profits of a corperation are liable for dominion in- come tax, and the incomé of an individual, derived from his dividends paid from these profits, are also taxable, so that the dominion tax is really paid twice on thé same income. What is of even more moment, however, is the overlapping of the dominion and the municipalities in the eld of income taxation. It is a great hard- ship, in many cases, that citizens should have to pay income taxes to the dominion and also to the municipality, on the same income. There is much need of a readjustment of taxation systems so that thete can be some relief given from this double im- position on the earnings of the people of Canada. "In 'some cases, municipalities have refrained al- together from collecting income tax, even although this is contrary to the Ontario Assessment Act. This adds to the measure of unfairness which surrounds this measure of taxation, for it is obviously wrong that thé people of some municipalities should be _ Bubjected to 'a principle of taxation from which others are exempt. If the committee of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, as a result of its study of the situation, is able to bring forth a probable solu- tion of this question, then it will be deserving of a large measure of thanks. THE HOUSEWIFE'S VIEW OF ADVERTISING 4 N has become quite a usual - thing for men in high pldces in the business world to proclaim their faith in the value of newspaper advertising as a business builder. Viscountess Dunedin, speaking at a qonvention of advertisers in Newcastle, England, however, has given another viewpoint on the ques- tien, and strange to say, her view, that of the house- wife, coincides in its findings with that of the big men of business. Speaking as a housewife, and giving her view of the lure of advertising, she said: -- "When I consider the great power of the mod- orn advertisements upon the life of women, and how they persuade us what to eat, to drink and to wear, what health resorts to select, and what hotels to stay at, I realize how amazing is the ~--4influence of advertisements on our daily - }ife, and I cease to be amazed at the enormous sum spent and rightly spent, on advertising, and the "great value which the heads of great enterprises place on the art as a wonderful agent for commer- * , cial success. To-day publicity in all its varied "" forms is a necessity. In the rush and competi- iw tion of modern life modest work would remain "+ very modest indeed if it did not succeed in mak- + ing itself known." It is hardly necessary to add anything to what "ghe had to say. Her wards, giving a new impression (of the place of newspaper advertising in the world 'of today, is but one more testimony to the wisdom 20f using this one great means of publicity for the "building up of goodwill, business and trade for in- Hdividuals as well'as for the big business concerns. wo HELP NEEDED i As was intimated in the news columns. of yester- "day's iszlie of The Times, the Red Cross Society is "Hn urgent need of funds with which to carry on its "Splendid work at the Red Cross Cottage by 'the lake, S%he season for this work is well advanced, and & every two weeks sees fresh parties of sick and under- {Mourished children, in dire need of the outdoor re- freation, care and attention given them at the Red -4Oross- Cottage, taken down to the lake.

Just as a community heeds diversity in its industries in or: . der that it may be able to provide fairly regular em: _ ployment for its peopls, so does the west need diver: 'sity in its fafming, so.that, when the grain crops * are seriously affected by unfavorable weather can ditions, as has beéén the case this year, there will be something in reserve to help make up for the failure, : : 4 It is unwise for the western farmers to have all their eggs in one baasket, as is true in so many cases, In Ontario, there is very little grain farming as such. The stable backbone of agriculture in this province is provided by mixed farming, with dairy~ ing, beet cattle raising, hog and sheep raising, and even the following of poultry providing sources of revenue for the agricultural population. Thus it is that there are seldom any years of failure for the Ontario farmer. When one product is having a poor year, this is invariably balanced by good conditions for another product, so that there is seldom any oa . such thing as complete failure. i In the last few years, certain sections of the west have taken up mixed farming with a remarkable de. gree of success. This is evidenced by the fact that, as a rule, butter from the western provinces stands highest of all at the Canadian National Exhibition and the Royal Winter Fair. Yet mixed farming is far from being an accepted condition of western agriculture, Its adoption on a larger scale would be of inestimable benefit to the west, not alone from the angle of giving reserve revenues to counter- balance poor wheat years, but from thé standpoint of providing the same inexpensive and effective means of maintaining soil fertility as have proven so bene- ficial wherever mixed farming is practised. COSTLY DEFIANCE That the authorities entrusted with the enforce. ment of the legislation compelling the cutting of noxious weeds throughout the province of Ontario aré in deadly earnest over their job, and will not stand for any deflance of the law, was instanced in Lambton county a few days ago. A farmer there, in spite of repeated warnings and notices, refused to cut down the weeds on his farm, the worst spot on it being a field of grain badly infested with sow thistle, Armed with the authority of the law, the district weed inspector thereupon invaded the field, and eut down the whole crop, weeds, grain and all, as 4 lesson that the law must be obeyed. Then, to add insult to injury, instructions were given that the cost of the operatipn would be assessed against the farmer's land, as provided by the act. This, of course, was an extreme e¢ese, but it is an indication that the départment of agriculture is in no mood for trifling with the situation. Defiance, in this case, was costly to the farmer, for he not only had to pay for having the weeds cut, but lost his grain crop as well. This should be a lesson to others who feel inclined to let the matter drift, and who cannot be induced by ordinary means to comply with the requirements of the law. THE FLORIDA DEPRESSION From the height of aMuence and boom times to the depth of depression in four years is the experi- ence which has befallen the state of Flotida. One - can well remember how, a few years ago, there was a great rush to that state, where real estate values were sky-rocketing overnight, and fortunes were be- ing made every few days. Then came the disastrous hurricanes, and the bottom fell out of the boom, bringing failure to thousands of people and firms, to such an extent that in two weeks this month twenty-six banks were forced to close their doors. Of course, Florida is not the first place to find that boom bubbles are blown only to burst. There is something unhealthy about the boom district, par- ticularly when values are inflated far above their normal and natural figure, and particularly when speculation is the basis of the boom. There is a detided warning in the situation in Florida, a warning that stéady, but permanent growth , is much better for any community or district than the mushroom type of growth. What is built over- night can hardly be expected to stand the storms and stress of time, and communities which are looking for growth which will be abiding and permanent should be satisfied to develop more slowly, but con- sistently, than Ras been the case in Florida. SUNSHINE GOOD FOR THE SOUL It has long been claimed by medical men that sunshine is good for the human body, but it has been left to a wandering evangelist to declare that it is also good for the soul. This evangelist is travelling, bare-legged and sunburned, around On- tario, and is, apparently, a living exposition of the doctrine he preaches. There is a good deal ef truth in the assertion of this evangelist that sunshine is good for the soul, The soul's welfare is of even more importance to mankind than that of the body, but the bodily con- dition usually has its reflection on the attitude of man towards matters of a spiritual nature. The flood of sunshine which benefits the body is also pro- ductive of a more healthy mental and spiritual out- look, for the soul is not something separate. It is the life of the body, and the man who would culti- vate a healthy soul must have a healthy body as well.

WASTING BRAVE MEN (From the New York Herald Tribune) The latest attempts to hop the At- lantic from east to west have ended in failure, one of them in tragedy. Neither, from the point of view of service to the cause of aviation, was well advised. Had they succeeded they would have established a record based primarily on luck and demon- strating nothing of 'positive value to the future of ocean flight. In failing they merely advertise anew the de- pressing fact that the prevailing winds in the north Atlantic strongly favor the eastward over the west- ward flyer, There was a time when the spec- tacular in aviation was justified as a means of focusing public attention on the possibilities of air transpor- tation, When Lindbergh flew, the world, and particularly that part of it on this side of the water, needed the awakening he provided. But it has long since thrown off its apathy in this respect and today would be better off for a check-rein on its en- thusiasm, which has outrun develop- ments in the science and technique of flight, rapid as these have been. "Hopping" the Atlantic cither way in a single-motored land pland can- not add now to the sun total of air- mindedness. It should, tlierefore, be deprecated as an incitement of reck- lessness when successful and as a waste of valuable lives when, as too often happens, it ends in disaster. If the Atlantic is to be conquered for regular flight it will be done by such persistent - pathfinders as the pilots of the 'Untin Bowler, whose plane was lost when an ice floe to which it was moored drifted out to sea, or as the Swedish flyers who have reached Greenland on their way from Stockholm to New York or by those who in stout flying boats tackle the route via the Azores from time to time. Experiments of this kind, even when they fail, invari- ably contribute to the fund of know- ledge necessary to a solution of the problem. They are exploratory and not merely sporting events. Their objectives sanction their risks. - Bits of Humor - | RADIO Teacher--Willie, where is Toronto ? Willie--Right between Davenport and Pittsburg. Teacher--Where did you. find. that answer?

Owing to the fact that pensions regulations and rating for the Imperial forces are entirely different from those of the Canadian government, and that these men are badly handicapped by their distance from the seat of authority, pressing problems are often presented to the Legion service bureau by Imperials; In connection with Imperial ex- service men, two resolutions were passed. One of these dealt with Canadians who served their country in the Imperial forces, and it asked that they should be given the same consideration as if they had served with the Canadian forces. This is felt to be a worthy claim on behalf of men who had been citizens of Canada before the war but who, be- cause of their special fitness for cer- tain tasks and duties, served with the Imperial forces, rather than with those of the Dominion, with the re- sult that they are now at a disad- vantage in comparison with their comrades of the Canadian Corps. The resolution which was passed in this respect. was as follows: The Resolution ; "That the Canadian Government be requested to enact legislation en- abling claims on behalf of Canadians who served their country better be- cause of their special knowledge or fitness in the Imperial Forces to be received, . passed upon and relief granted as though their services had rOBIE-I STOCKS 17 KING STREET ForLong «@ Head Office: Reford Buil BAY AND WELLINGTON STS.

The second resolution concerning Imperial veterans took a wider scope. The resolutions committee was faced with scores of proposals concerning the problems of Imperials, and felt that it would be impossible to bring in- a large number of resolutions covering them all. Finding, how- ever, that machinery had been cre- ated at the last Dominion conven- tion at St. John, New Brunswick, for dealing with Imperial matters, the committee covered all these prob- lems by sending on to the conven- tion the following resolution, which was carried: -- To Investigate "That the resolution of the Do- minion Convention of the Canadian Legion at Saint John, N.B., in June, 1928, quoted hereunder, relating to problems of the Imperial Veterans in Canada, be affirmed.

As it stands at present, however, the act is a barrier to the very class which it was supposed to benefit, since it provides that no in- surance will be 'issued to' ex-service men who have no "expectancy of life."
