REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S. Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1930 UNIFORM LICENSE FEES The proposal put forward at last night's meeting of the Oshawa Motor Club, that the annual registration fees for motor ve- hicles be placed on a uniform basis, and re- duced to a nominal sum to cover only the costs of registration, has much to commend it. 'This is particularly true in the light of the information given. at the meeting re- garding the unfair discrepancies in the pre- sent rates. : For instance, it is not generally known that there are cars weighing hundreds of pounds 'and costing hundreds of dollars more than others, but which pay only five dollars in license fee, as compared with fen dollars for the lighter and cheaper makes of cars. This seems far from fair, since it would be logical to assume that the lighter the car and the cheaper the car, the less the license fee. The provincial government has now re- cognized the principle that the gasoline tax, which makes motorists pay on the basis of travelled mileage, is the chief means of rais- ing revenue for highway purposes. That being so, it would be quite fair to charge only a nominal, uniform fee for ' registra- tion of all types of cars. The heavier cars, by reason of their gredter gasoline consump- tion, would then pay in proportion to the mileage the cars are operated and the wear and tear on>the highways. This is much fairer than the system which penalizes at least one important make of light and low- priced car by making those who buy it pay double the license fee imposed on much heavier and more expensive makes. MORE INTEREST WARRANTED The Motor City -ef Canada should have made a much better showing than it did at the annual meeting and banquet of the Osh- awa Motor Club last night. The attendance was far below what it should have been for a city which has so great an interest in motoring and the automobile industry, for only about thirty persons put in an appear- ance, The Oshawa Motor Club, as an affiliated club of the Ontario Motor League has given and is in a position to give, splendid service to the motoring public of this community. That service has been freely given in the past year, and the efforts of those who are at the head of the club are worthy of much better support than was accorded at last night's event. The small attendance, of course, may not mean any lack of interest, and it is quite possible that when the time comes around to hold a membership cam- paign, the motorists will rally behind the officers, but last night's affair could not have been very encouraging to those who have given so much of their time to the building up of the club. A GRAVE MISTAKE BE Chief of Police Draper of Toronto is usu- ally very careful in his public utterances, but he made a grave mistake when address- ing an Orange Lodge meeting in Toronto this week, he cast reflections on the loyalty of the people of the province of Quebec. His remarks, so un create resentment, were as follows: "In Quebec there is not the deep feel- ing of loyalty towards the flag that there is in Toronto." ' He went on to declare pers travelling through ' bec were to make a loyal remark about the Union Jack, they would be doing' Canada a Bo i at a time. when every effort is being strained s between that if any meni~ the two great races repre- in Canada, these remarks. wefe ill- 'One can that there will be . an immedinte and a strong protest from the i uebee, There is no reason to. people of Q people of Quebec are dis- EE tt a loyalty as 18 'they ha not so flamboyant people of Toronto. - But, never- called for as to be sure to the province of Que- * some good.

Per- pot very fond of flag-waving theless, they have every right to feel that they have been unfairly charged with dis- loyalty, and when such an expression comes from a man holding the position which is . occupied by General Draper, it is likely to undo much of the good work which has been done in promoting a closer entente be- tween Ontario and Quebec. TARDIEU IS SAFE The Tardieu government is safe -- for the present at least. It has survived , its first test in the chamber of deputies, and the premier of France can now return to the naval conference with a safe majority be- hind him. It must be amusing to people of democra- tic countries to note the conduct of affairs in France. The Tardieu government was defeated two weeks ago. The opposition tried to form a government and was, in turn, defeated. Then back came Tardieu, and, by a little manipulation, he rides into power with a bigger majority than ever. And all of this without the people of France being consulted in any manner. : It is satisfactory, of course, that France can once again take her place at the naval conference table, but she cannot escape the responsibility for having wasted at least two weeks of the valuable time of the dele- Other Editor's Comments EMPIRE FREE TRADE (Brisbane Courier) (Will the Dominions agree to Em- pire Free Trade?) It is unques- tionable that the British Dominions could do a much greater trade with one another than they do now, and that such an increase of trade would strengthen the whole Empire, and each and every part of it. To ask these several parts to change their trade policies is to ask them to take a most momentous step. For all that the Empire does not make enough of its own resources and by some means trade within the Empire must be in- creased. MARRIAGES AND BIRTHS (Dublin Weekly Irish Times) In comparison with the married women of England and Wales, those of the Free State rear far more chil- dren. Whereas, across the Channel, 100 women under 45 years of age bear, on an average, 71 childicn, the same number in the Free State bear 131. This umusual fertility helps to balance the serious effect of late marriage upon the birth-rate. More- over, it seems that the comparative absence of mechanical industries in the Free State lengthens life. The | proportion of persons over 65 is very high. In order, presumably, that we may not take excessive joy in this fact, we are reminded that an old age pension scheme is a proportionately gates who came there to do business, and not to sit around waiting for the political acrobatics of France. THE OLD FASHIONED WAY Quebec still sticks to its . old-fashioned way. Its legislators believe that woman's place is in the home, and that she should stay there and not bother her head with the affairs of state. At least, that would appear to be the situation which caused the Quebec legisla- ture to once again vote down a proposal to extend the provincial franchise to the fe- male sex. Many efforts have been made to secure the vote for the women of Quebec, 80 as to place them on parity with the wo- men of Ontario and other provinces, but they have all failed. . Quebec, of course, is the province in which large families are favored, and, in keeping with that good old-fashioned cus- tom, the legislators felt that the women had enough to do in raising these families with- out being bothered with interests outside the home. In one way, it is not a bad prin- ciple, for the care of a family is usually quite enough to occupy the attention of a 'mother, without loading her up with re- sponsibilities that she can hardly find time to assume if she does the home job as it should be done. Perhaps Quebec is old- fashioned, but there is something whole- some about that attitude that should not be overlooked. CAN FIGURES LIE? The Dominion Bureau of Statistics has produced a set of figures showing employ- ment at the beginning of February as hav- reached the highest point ever attained in Canada at that time of the year. Employ- ment at that time, according to the figures, was over that on January 1, and also higher than at the same time a year ago. If these figures are correct, then there is something wrong with the understanding of the average man who is looking for a job. To the onlooker, and particularly the on- looker who is employed, there seems to be a much larger number of men out of work than was the case a year ago. This is not a local condition. It applies to many parts of the country. So the Dominion Bureau of Statistics will have to do a lot more than simply issue a set of figures in order to con- vince the working men of Canada that there is more employment in the country today than there was at this time last year.

TOURIST TRADE (Woodstogk Sentinel-Review) The future of the motar car as a general means of private and com- mercial transportation was a subject of much skeptism, even years after the internal combustion engine had become reasonably efficient as motive power: Many people could not pic- ture the horse taking second place af- ter centuries in possefsion of the highway. No longer ago than 1905 the files of the Sentinel-Review re- cord the undertaking of construction of a large feed and boarding stable here. That building for years has been used for storage of automobiles. And with gradual elimination of me- chanical trouble and increase of driv- ing comfort, motor tourist traffic he- gan to develop. The volume in this country has gone up and up from year to year, so rapidly that in the post-war period it has more than dou- bled. The Dominion bureau of sta- tistics estimated that in 1928 tourists from the United States travelling hy motor spent $167,384.000 in this coun- try. of which Ontario received $96,- 620,000, compared with $79,560.000 in the previous year. Unofficial esti- mates show a still higher outlay in 1929, and Premier Ferguson has pre- dicted a greater flow of tourist trade in the coming season. Bits of Humor RATHER DIFFERENT No one in the village showed much concern at the news that Rooker was dead one who had earned a re- putation as one who could not. be trusted. But a few months after his funeral Rooker was responsible for a big sensation. "Have you heard about the deface- ment of Rooker's tombstone?" asked one villager of another as the two met in the main street, It appeared to be the one topic of conversation in the place. But the second villager had not heard about it. "What's happened?" he inquired. "Someone has added the word 'friends' to his epitaph." * : "What was his epitaph?" The: first villager grinned. "'He did his best," he said. She: "And I suppose you would like me to return all your presents?"
