REPRESENIATIVES IN U. 8. / Powers and Stone, Inc. New York and Chicago. Bll A MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30. 1929 --- STEADY GROWTH Figures as a rule are rather dry. things to study, but the figures which have been issued today by As- sessment Commissioner Luke, giving details: of the assessment and population of the City of Oshawa for 1929, are of more than usual interest. In the last few years, Oshawa has shown remarkable growth, and has advanced rapidly both in. population and assess "ment, It was not to be expected that the growth at "stich a,rapid rate would continue, but in this year's 'report of the assessor there is abundant evidence that , the city is still going ahead, and that, even if the , growth is not as spectacular -as it has been in some years, it, is nevertheless steady and highly satisfac- tory. / . .® * The gain in population of 1,376, or 569 per cent, is a record which many cities in the same class as Oshawa: would envy, Oshawa has now definitely passed the 25000ymark in its population within the city's limits, 8nd. this figure would be 'increased very substantially were the population of Harmony, West- mount angd Ngrth, Oshawa, peopled almost entirely , by Oshaw 'workets and their families, included in'the report, These, of course, 'are outside the city, but for purposes of estimating the actual size of the Osh- awa community, they miler well be added, and would bring thefotal u 'at 16ast a thousand or two more. : i oh " * » It is very sighificant that the assessment has grown at almost the ame rate as the population, for the in- crease of $818,575 represents 5.30 per cent over last year's figure, This incredse, too, is created by the: growth of the city in property and income wealth, for there has been no change in the basis of assess- ! ment, and new, property and added income account for practically all of this rise, ' » LJ] LJ] It is interesting to note the cficct of this increase . on. the city's revenue, On the basis of this year's tax rate, an increase in assessment would 'mean an additional revenue amounting to approximately $34,600, or about the amount which would be raised by two mills of a levy on every dollar of assessment, This means that the city council next year will have that amount of extra assessment on which to base its tax rate, thus allowing cither more money for civic improvements, and services, or for a further decrease in the tax rate, One particularly gratifying feature is the unusually large fricrease in income assessment. While the total assessment has grown by 5.30 per cent, that portion "represented by income assessment has increased by 19.64 per cept, or almost four times as much in pro- portion to last year's figures, This can be accepted as a definite' indication of the growing prosperity of Oshawa, for incomes must be carned before they can be taxed, and it is apparent that there has been a substantial 'inerease in the number of people whose incomes: come within the taxable class, ! a * » i The assessor's report for this year shows there has been a tendeney on the part of Oshawa to make its (greatest residential growth in the castern section of the city, for the largest population increases are in the north-east and south-east wards, ' These scetions are, apparently, being built up more quickly than the others, although there is every likelihood that, with the development of the city's industrial area on South Simcoe Street and the completion of the Skinner Company's plant, there will be substantial growth in. that end of Oshawa in the mest few years. * » ow * The people of Oshawa have every reason to feel encouraged by the report. Any city which, in a year: that has had'its ups and downs, and has had a rather more severe period of slump conditions than usual, can still shéw a definite growth of 5.69 per cent in its population, has behind it a stability which augurs well for the future, As has been pointed out on pre- 'vious occasions in these columns, the boom period for Oshawa appears to be over, for the present at least, but in its place has come a period of more lei- 'surely, but nevertheless steady growth which keeps Oshawa in the forefront of the smaller cities of On- \ario as a progressive and expanding community, LABOR AND THE ELECTION | Although it has ceased to be a force in Ontario Politiés, so far as direct representation in the legis- Jature is concerned, the Ontario Labor Party has fallen in line with the Conservatives, Liberals and Progressives, and has issued an election manifesto, It has no political leader to support, and is appar- ently not anxious to stand in behind either of the three leaders, as a party, yet there are some factors in its manifesto which are 'worthy of Jonsideration, = On general "subjects, the Labor manifesto is along sound lines It favors keeping: the wafer-powers of the 'province and the newly found coal resources within the control of the goverument of Qutasic, THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 1929 "rather than having them handed out to be exploited by private enterprise, 'From the standpoint that these are resources owned by the people of Ontario, and should be developed for the benefit of the people of Ontario, that is sound policy, There is also much to commend the suggestion that free text books be provided for students at collegiate institutes, for here » is just the possibility that many children of parents » in none too good financial circumstances, have to forego the benefits of secondary education because . their parents are unable to supply t em with the necessary books, and are too independeht to ask that they' be supplied free while others are paying for them, ; 2 The recommendation that automobile insurance be , made compulsory, and the proposal that police com- missions in the cities of Ontatio be elective bodics, are too highly controversial subjects, on which no unanimity, of thought is even in sight, They require careful study and consideration before their merits or demerits can be fully determined, and, in any case, they are hardly subjects which fall within the cate- gory of political issues. Labor, it is interesting to note, favors the prin- ciple of the referendum and the keeping of the liquor issue out of politics, This is bound to be ore of the big issues of the campaign, and one of the very few issues on which there is difference of opinions be- tween the major parties involved in the election, Unfortunately, every time that the liquor problem 'has been mixed with politics in a vote of the people, that vote has expressed the political views of the _ people, rather than their direct views on the liquor question alone. And from that standpoint, the atti- tude of the!Lapor party is a reasonable one, Even if the Labor party, as a political force in On- tario, is no'longer in an active state, its manifesto is worthy of consideration by the party leaders, for it has been proven in the past that many of the sug- gestions of (the organized forces of labor have been of valuable assistance to the government of the day in the framing of social and reform legislation of far-reaching effects. A PLETHORA OF PROMISES No matter which party wins, certain sections of the people ©f Ontario arc going to reap the benefits of the election campaign. In all three manifestoes, there are promises galore, promises of relief from . this or, that form of taxation, promises of reductions' in hydro rates, automobile licenses and so on, In fact, the big feature of the election campaign is the extent to which the leaders have gone in for holding out gifts on a golden platter to the electors of On- tario, It makes thé election campaign seem something like an auction sale, in which the votes of the people of Ontario are being sought by competing bids, Un- fortunately, there is no assurance in this case that the prize will go to the highest bidder, People have reached the stage where political promises, made in the stress of ian "election campaign, do not carry as " much weight as might be. 'expected, On too many occasions have promises: been made and' left' unful- "filled, so that there is not the same value to' election manifestoes 'as those who issire them might' suppose. : WELL-EARNED No Canadian 'will have much fault to find with the : "ampouncement that Sir Henry Thornton is being re- "etgaged 5 headvof the Canadian National Railways, 'I afd that his new contract, for' a térm of five years, < calls for a salary increase of $10,000, Under the new contract, Sir Henry will receive a salary of $75,000 a year from the Canadian National Railways, plus an expense allowance of $10,000 a year. That seems. like a great deal of money to pay a man for a year's work, but the general opinion will be that Sir Henry Thornton is worth every cent of it to the Dominion of Canada, His remarkable achievement of lifting the.Canadidn National Rail- ways system out of a slough: of large deficits, and placing it on a basis where it has net operating profits of over $30,000,000 a year justifies 'the statement that this salary, large as it may seem, is 'well earned.' And the time is believed to be mot far distant when the profits of the CN.R. will be so large that, instead of the railway being a drag on the national treasury, it will be meeting all its debt charges and handing over a few millions a year to help relieve the people of their tax burdens, Any man who can accomplish' this in six years' time might be said to be worth his weight in gold, and, even with this latest increase, Sir Henry's salary is still short of that standard, _ EDITORIAL NOTES Radio sets arc now being installed in the cells at Sing Sing prison, Probably to add to the punishment of the helpless inmates, Agnes McPhail writes home from France that the water 'there is not fit to drink. But few people in that ceuntry drink water, Mr, Sinclair was correct in his prediction of an election this-fall. But he has not yet tried his skill at predicting the result of the election. Some people make the mistake of judging a town by what they see from the railroad. And the layout of Oshawa proves just how great a mistake this is. None of the party leaders has: offered the muni- cipalities of Ontario a share in' the gasoline tax. That would be the crowning act of provincial muni. ficence, Insurance companies which send out birthday cards lo their policy holders; wishing them many happy returns of the day, are obviously quite sincere in their greetings. ! The British Labor government is likely to have a long term in office, It Was become so popular re- cently that ncither of the other parties will want an election, Five doctors have already been nominated as can- didates in the provingial election, Probably on the theory 'that they are experts at feeling the pulse of the people. The Oshawa School Fair proved that the children are being taught the proper things, Judging from the displays of cooking, the girls of today are just as Hood as their mothers at this important art, United States statistics show that last year 24,000 people in that country were Killed by accidents in "their homes, Perhaps that is why so many of them are 'anxious to stay away from home as much as Other Editor's Comments SWARMING WITH SEA BIRDS Sydney, N.S, Sept, 28.--~An island | swarming with Puffin was discovered off the Labrador coast this trip by Commander MacMillan, who says | that thousands of the picturesque little birds make the place their breeding ground: each scason, These birds build their nests by burrowing |, underground like foxes, They dig into the soil about three feet--a very convenient distance, as the investi gators, by lying on the ground and shoving an arm in vp to the shoulder were just able to reach the nest to secure specimen eggs for their col- Aections. The Puffin is a picturesque little creature with a brilliant red nose of such a shape that sailors generally call them "Sea Parrots." -------- LACK OF JUSTICE HERE (Stratford Beacon-Herald) A double execution in the jail yard at Hull claimed a woman as one of the victims, She was the mother of eight children, and fit had been decided after serious con- sideration at Ottawa, not to intey. fere with the verdict of the court which found her guilty of death, With that decision we have no par- ticular quarrel, Yet there was a decision made only a few weeks ago which spared the life or gu man from Toronto who had been convicted of murdering a woman, As in the case of the woman, wno was executed in Hull, this Toron- to man had had g fair trial and the verdict was guilty, The courts of justice arrived at the same con- clusion in each case -- that the death penalty should be inflicted. Yet the judgment rendered against the woman was carried into effect and that against the Toronto man was set aside in favor of life im- prisonment, It is not comfortable to think that the influences which begin to work after a verdict has been arrived at and sentence pass- ed are more potent in some cases than others, Bits of Humor JUST WAIT \ The Sister -- Captain Randall proposes in this letter.

"Death in vain forbade Him rise; Christ hag opened Paradise" That Body of Pours By James W. Barton, M.D. THE CAUSE OF GAS FORM. ATION I spoke once before about a hock- cy player, now 4 famous professional player, who was always bothered with distension of gas before the game and during the rest periods, Once into the game he seemed to be all right; apparently forgot about it, In his case it was duc to the swallowing of air, as the gas expell- ed from his stomach through the mouth was absolutely without odor, However, most of the gas which distends the stomach and intestines is not due to this swallowed air but to some other cause, : If it doesn't amount to much and there is no distress it is just as wel to forget about it, If, however, it becomes a "constant companion" then it would be wise to try and lo- cate the cause, Now food is naturally thought, and there is no question but that food like onions, cabbags, raw fruits, eggs and others just nat- urally cause more gas thaw other foods, Then there is the lack of chewing which is one of the commonest caus- es of gas indigestion, If the food is well chewed, moistened, and mixed with saliva or mouth alkaline digest- ive juice, it reaches the stomach in the right condition for the stomach juice to do its work, and very little if any gas will be formed.' Sometimes it is a low or "dropped" the first Food lies too long in this low part and gas forms, In the small intestine sometimes food moves too fast or the intest- ine doesn't absorb the food soon cn- ough and this causes gas. Frequently starchy foods, by not being broken up in the mouth by chewing, go through stomach and small intestine, and reach large intestine before be- ing broken up, This is the cause of a great deal of the gas distension in lower intestine, Also if the passage of waste through large intestine is too slow, there is a great deal of gas forma tion, . So if bothered by gas, cate the cause, Try to remember foods that seem to cause it; chew vour food well, lie on your right side for ten minutes before aeting; sit down for a few minutes after eating; don't cat when tired; spread your meals well apart, If gas formation perists, consult your doctor as there may be some liver condition causing the trouble.
