Ei a -------- TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1929 PA EE GOOD ARGUMENTS LOST The Ontario Conservatives, during the recent pro- vinclal election campaign, dealt a rather scurvy trick to the federal Conservative party, In the last few federal elections, or at least since the Liberal gov« ernment went into power at Ottawa, the chief argue ments of the Conservatives have been that the couns try was golng Into ruin as & result of the Liberal administration, In the provincial campaign, the mens bers of the same party pointed to the prosperity of Ontario ag an indication that the policies of the Vere gusen government were sound and should be given a further term of trial, Now Isn't that a rough situation for a political party to have to face, If the Conservatives claim the country Is going to the dogs, then they will have to swallow what they sald during the provinelal cams paign, And if they repeat the same statements as thay made in the provincial campaign, the Liberals will be unkind enough to claim credit for the prose perlty, leaving the Ferguson government out of the picture altogether, o Yeo, it is 8 rough situation to have to face, and the only way out of It, apparently is to have the same party In power at Ottawa as ut Toronto, Then the party which is In power can claim eredit for the prosperity of Ontarlo without any eonfliet of pros vinelal and federal views, MUNICIPAL INCOME TAX The Associated Hoards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce, at the recent convention in Toronto, pass. od a resolution asking the provincia! government to conduct an Investigation with a view to removing the Injustices which surround the municipal income tax, This has aroused the usual amount of eriticlam ef this tax and comment upon it, Same newspapers take the view that this tax can hardly be abolished, beosuse the municipal treasuries need the revenue, and to dgprive them of that revenue would only mean transferring the burden to some other department of the elvie assessment, The Londen Free Press, however, is specific ras ther than general In ite erlticlom of the tax, and it sums up its objections In the following manner: industrle s jue rate, which varies enormously, especially The municipal income tax falls heave has no % a8 has the Deminion me Watt discriminates as between provinges, tarlo has a municipal income tax; Quebee oY . It gives Quebec an advantage in 2nd=1t discriminates between municipal ties, The Income tax depends upon the logal LT city and country, Some cities, like ndier make no serious attempt to collect 3 ther cities, like London and Torento, en- the law as far as possible, at on the salaried man, The average munis pality hati no machinery to enforce it. It t kin returns, The man wh pan is the and p! airy: His babii B ob. or, inahle th h hi omp "Athw=lt is driving people from the % even loss waalt cities to the country, where there attemp enforce the law, These objections seem to express the general view in « nutshell, The chief complaint against the tax fs the tack of uniformity In its enforcement, but it is Af It would he any duire popular Lib if "i were uniformly imposed and 'enforced, Under the prosant conditions in mest Jigs it must be ! an & necessary ovil, and, until freedom from financial burdens makes it possible to abolish it, it would appear that he taxpayers will just have to put up with it, "THE WAR AGAINST WAR In those days when we are still within the shadow of the Armistice and the memories of the Great War are mere acute than at any other time in the year it might be well for the average citizen to consider what contribution he is trying to make tawards ban ishing the possibilities of auch another awful upheaval The great majority of people are only toa anxious to sce war banished forever from the face of the earth. They will cheer construetive peace sentiment 10 the fcho and thrill with horror at the glowing pers jody of the peace advocate who recounts the misery and horrors of niwdern strife but not a great many are ready to take even a minor part in materially aiding the cause of peas, The League of Nations is far away from this colntry and it deals with such an immense number of problems and with such complicated international issues that the average man or women finds it hard to get a clear conceptich of what it is all about, But it is in the hands of just peaple that the final de- olslon as to peace or war will finally rest, Should they not be provided with some agency which will give them tn a clear and simple way the glist of the efforts which are being wade to redute armaments and eliminate war between nations, Fortunately there is just such an egency which hs ra ------ THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1929 actively fuhetioning, In nearly sll countries which are member siates of the nations! societies to simplify and broadcast the business of the League and to keep constantly before the public Its main ideals have been formed since the close of wer, In Canada we have an organisation known as the Lesgue of Nations Society In Canadas which Is strive Ing to carry out this work and which has branches In every part of the country, ' The Socloty sharges & tiny fum for membership und for this supplies a splendidly edited magnsine and continuous Information In regard 10 Geneva and the genersl progress towards peace, In addition Is encourages the formation of new branches and does Its utmost with the limited funds at its disposal to make the fight for peace as keen and strenuous as was the battle for victory during the dark days of the Great War, A good resolution which should be immediately Im- plemented Is for all those who are not already mems bers of this organization to make application for membership and to try to do thelr bit In that glore lous undertaking the war against war which Is env gaging the attention of the greatest statesmen, pa~ triots and humanitarians In the world, PLOWING MATCHES The fall which Is now drawing to a close and give Ing place to winter has seen an astonishing interest in plowing matehes all over Ontario, These matches, from the great International Plowing Mateh held at Kingston down to the smallest of the township events scattered throughout Ontarle, have been tremendously popular, snd, In spite of the fact that they offer much fewer attractions than the fall fairs, they have drawn great crowds of spectators, who still delight in watch. Ing the skill of a man who ean plow a straight furs row, Ta those who are not well versed in the plowman's art, these matches offer Vittle In the way of enters talment but te others who have themselves followed the plow from the time when they were old enough to drive a team of horses, there Is an undeniable magnet in a good plowing mateh, And these who take park too, benefit from the keen competition with whigh they have to contend, for competition of that kind is bound to improve the quality of plowing, The result of this is reflected In the plowing done on the farms of those whe match thelr skill against that of thelr fellowsplowmen in these contests, A welliplowed field Is not only of material benefit to a farm, It ls a credit to the farms er, because It Is a demonstration of the old platitude that 'what is worth doing Is werth doing well, And that applies to plowing Just as much as it does to any other line of endeavor, MILITARY TRAINING The Military Review at Oshawa brings to the ate tention of the public the whole matter of military training Some remarks regarding this subject are timely, Never hag a more earnest and Intelligent effort been made to preserve the peace of the world than Is now being made == a fact that was brought te our atten: tion with spectacular and hopeful force by the visit of Premier Ramsay MacDonald to President Hoover, and to Canada, Peace and disarmament are two words that have dominated the thought of the world since the close of the Great War, There ls begins ning to grow in the minds of many people a Ann hope that war may become a thing of the past, This forward step should not in any way be discounted, We should think peace, and believe that peace is poss sible, It has never been more possible than now, That much must be granted in any discussion of mils itary training, But that great gain has not put ws in a position where we can afford to ignore military training == not of the jingoistic type, but the kind of training that teaches men to think for themselves, and 10 act with Intelligence in an emergency, If the Great War taught any fact, it was that men must learn to think if they would truly be able to defend their country, If the Great War taught that faet, there Is every evidence that any future war would require even mbre initiative on the part of our sol diers, Mere woodensheaded obedience will not be of much service in meeting the unknown forees that could be let loose In another war, Lirant that the ability to think will be of prime ims portance, the fact remains that the fundamental prin ciples of defence must be learned, and these are not taught by the Boy Scouts or by the Cadets, It does not seem desirable that our schools should be used for military training; but when young men eof our country are patriotic enough to give their time and energy to learn the art of our country's defence they are worthy of our admiration and our thanks, All that has been sald in this article does not in any sense excuse vivalry in armaments or armies among nations, nor does it excuse warlike teaching of that bumptous kind that is ever ready™o plek a quarrel or to take offence, Military traiting does not tend to war as much as does persistent wrong thinking regarding the other peoples of the world, That wrong thinking may be among ourselves or it may be among those people who later become our enemies, There are people whe would stir up steife no matter where they are or, with whom they are as: sociated, We cannot yet afford to neglect the military trains ing of our volunteers, = Port Perry Star, * EDITORIAL NOTES After Regina in November, one could hardly blame the Canadian Legion for choosing Niagara Falls as the place of its next convention, "The excuge, "I saw a deer, but it was too far away to shoot" is now taking the place of the story about the "big one that got away from my hook."
