Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago MONDAY, MARCH 10, 1930 NEWSPAPER AMALGAMATIONS After carrying on the fight for many years to maintain two newspapers in a small city, the two Belleville papers have capitulated, and have amalgamated. This makes the move in favor of a single news- paper in a small city unanimous. The only places in Ontario where two or more daily newspapers exist are Toronto, Hamilton, London and Ottawa. Even Windsor has but one. These places, of course, are rather be- yond the small city class, so they de not form a proper basis of comparison. In the last decade or so, newspaper amal- gamations have become the rule in cities under, say, 40,000. Kingston, Chatham, Galt, Guelph, Oshawa, Brockville, Stratford, Kitchener, have all had this experience. And the people of these communities are now reaping the benefit in improved newspaper service. The combination of forces means a concentration of effort which has resulted fin better newspapers, more concentrated ad- vertising service, and a more healthy spirit in the community. The days of two papers, each on opposite sides of politics, and each fighting the other tooth and nail, produced animosities which were harmful to commun- ity life. With the merging of newspapers, that has disappeared, and a more independ- ent spirit is apparent, a spirit which is di- rected at community betterment and civic welfare, a spirit that makes for unity and progress instead of disunion that retards progress. The Ontario cities which have but one newspaper are being well served by their dailies. The local newspaper, after all, is the mirror which reflects the life of the community, and no outside paper, no matter how imposing it may be in matter of bulk can possibly serve the same useful purpose in community building that is carried on day in and day out by the paper which re- wresents the life of the city in which it is ublished. UNIFORMITY WOULD HELP The Stratford Beacon-Herald has done a good public service in calling attention to the lack of uniformity which exists in con- nection with the taking of action against motorists who fail to take out their new automobile licenses within a reasonable length of time. There is some need of uni- formity in this respect, not that one would wish to see motorists prosecuted without good reason, but to make sure that the same procedure is adopted all over the province. For instance, thirty citizens of Sarnia were fined a week or two ago for driving their cars with 1929 markers. In Stratford, the police have just reached the stage of warning drivers that if they do not secure their markers for 1930 in a hurry, they will be brought into court. The same discrepan- cies can probably be found all over Ontario. There is only one way in which uniform- ity can be secured. That is by a definite or- der from the department of highways fixing a date, and sticking to it. [This should be done, for it is hardly fair that the people of one city, should. be fined for doing what people in other places are doing with im- wunity. A DOUBTFUL POLICY The United Farmers of Saskatchewan have decided to get into politics. These farmers must be slow in reading the hand- writing on the wall, or they would never have thought of taking such a step. * In the first place, the entry of farmer or- ganizations into politics, as class groups, has failed dismally. In Ontgrio, nothing is left of the once strong U. F. O. party. In the federal house, only. a small handful of Progressives and farmer members remains. Their power has gone, and the chances are that at the next election it will dwindle still farther. > The reason for this, of course, is that, there is no abiding place in Canada's present system of government for a class group, no matter what class that group may repte- sent, 'Class consciousness 'may help won- . derfully in the working out of economic pro- blems of buying and selling, but when it is injected Into politics, it is bound to fail, since people have the habit of seeing. things from a much broader viewpoint than that of class interests alone. The Saskatchewan farmers may, of course, spring a surprise on the rest of Can- ada, but the cards are stacked against them from the start, an dthey are not likely to make much headway. . A REMARKABLE SHOWING The showing which has been made by the Canadian National Railways, in spite of the adversities which had to be faced in 1929, is remarkable. The failure of the wheat crop, and the decision of the wheat peol to hold its wheat in Canada, meant a tremen- dous drop in business for both Canadian railway systems. These roads depend on the wheat crop for their fall and winter freight traffic, and déprived of that, profits went: by the board. Yet, with that handicap to face, the Can- adian National Railways system has made a net profit for the year 1929 of $45.062,080. It is true that this profit is some $13,000,- 000 less than it was last year, but on the other hand the revenue of the svstem was over $16,000,000 less than in 1928. This means that, with the drop in revenues, an effective measure of economy was put into operation, and this absorbed over $3,000,000 of the loss in revenue. The record for 1929 is a proof of the soundness of the C. N. R. system under its present management. A public utility which can earn so handsome a profit, with a bad year, when it was incurring huge deficits even in good years a few years ago, is doing well, and Sir Henry Thornton and his as- sociates are to be congratulated on the ve- port they have been able to present. NOT WORTH VERY MUCH It is a good thing that human beings are not valued on the worth of' the chemical contents of their bodies. A speaker at a Gyro club meeting in Toronto the other day startled his audience by saying that the chemical value of the human body was ex- actly 97 cents. It isn't much, is it? To go farther, the speaker declared that the human body con- tained enough iron to make an inch nail, enough lime to whitewash a chicken coop, enough sulphur to chase the fleas off a dog, enough potash to provide a cap for a boy's pistol, and a large amount of wind and water. - - As we think of some of the people we have had to listen to during our experience, he is right about the large amount of wind, and it may be that, in some cases, there is some other kind of liquid refreshment than water. Fortunately, man is not judged by his chemical content, but rather by the use he makes of the faculties they represent. Even at that, there are some kinds of peo- ple whom we would be quite willing to sell for their chemical value. EDITORIAL NOTES A doctor advises against hurrying after a good meal. But that depends on whether or not it is paid for. The man who can figure out an insurance claim in five minutes is likely to take five hours to fill out his income tax forms. Experts. say women's feet are growing larger. We thought their understanding was showing much improvement. A dietitian advises that breakfast should be eaten in silence. She will have the heartfelt thanks of husbands who like to hide themselves behind the morning paper at breakfast time. en There are over 3,000,000 unemployed in the United States. Then conditions in Can- ada cannot be so bad after all. Now that pension questions 'have been re- ferred to a committee, it is to be hoped that unanimity will prevail when that commit- tee's report comes back to the house of | commons. Dr. Monteith's budget, with its huge sur- plus, would have been more welcome had it announced some tax reductions. 1t will have to be left to history to decide whether Baldwin surrendered to Beaver- brook or vice-versa. St. Thomas city council has received a bill for 360 bottles of ale to entertain over 200 Canadian Legion convention delegates. These old soldiers, at least, were not heavy drinkers, Ch . The Globe says it is an open secret that the liquor business is not so good as it used to be. That would be good news if it could be proven true. . - The Soviet government is shipping all its religious books to the United States. Per- haps it thinks they are needed there. Wouldn't it be nice if we could figure on getting along with only one more ton of coal. ! . <Q Other Editor's ~ Comments (Washington Post) In the United States a premium job.

(Halifax Chroniele) Two vessels within a short time have between them landed 15,000,- 000 pounds of New Zealand but ter at Halifax. It, of course, does not stay here, but comes fo Hali- fax for distribution all over Can- ada. This is a very large amount of butter, but side by side place with it this fact, that into Canada came last year 15,000,000 people as tourists. That huge amount would make a pound each for the tour- sts. OTHER EDITORS COMMENTS.
