Tresidder, representative. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4th, 1930 HON. MR. MARTIN COMING 'The peovle of Oshawa are fo be privileged on Thursday evening to have tle first visit » to the city of Hon. the Rev. W. G. Martin. 'the new minister of welfare in the Fereu- son cabinet, who is to be the rhie? sneaker at the annual meeting of the Children's Aid Society, which is to be held in the King Street United Church. This is an important occasion, for the Rev. Mr. Martin has as- sumed duties which are of major imnortance to the welfare of the province of Ontario, and there should be a keen interest in what he has to say regarding his work. The occasion is important, not only be- cause of the fact that the Children's Aid Society is performing a function in the com- munity which is of the highest value. Its work consists of the reclaiming of citizens who would otherwise have very little chance to make their way successfully in the world The care of these young people is a serious charge on the society, and there should be a deen and sympathetic interest in its affairs. The citizens of Oshawa, on Thursday ev- ening, are to be given an opportunity to ex- press their interest in this valuable work, and it is to be hoped that the minister of welfare will find a large and sympathetic au- dience waiting for him when he appears at the meeting for his first official visit to Osh- awa. LOOKING AHEAD November is here. December comes next. 'And with the end of December the hats will be in the ring for municipal honors. It is not a long time to be looking ahead. It is not a long time for the people of Oshawa to think of the importance of the occasion to them. In fact, they should be doing some serious thinking now as to the men whom they will place in positions of authority in municipal affairs in 1931. The year 1930 has been a difficult one for the municipal council. On the whole, the city fathers have discharged their commend- able amount of efficiency. They may have made some mistakes, they may have mis- judged the temper of the public in regard to some questions, and they may have merited some criticism. But taking their actions in, a general way, being only human, it can fairly be said that they have given the city good administration. The question of how many of them merit re-election is a matter for the electors of Oshawa to decide, but, as we have said, the people should be giving that some serious thought, and should be' preparing themselves for the election that lies ahead. After all, the people of any community are only given the kind of municipal govern- ment they ask for. The responsibility for the conduct of public affairs is theirs, be- cause it lies in their hands to select the men who will be their representatives on the various elective municipal bodies. This is a fact which they should bear in mind, so that when nomination day comes, they will make sure of placing on the nomination papers the names of men worthy to represent them, and capable of transacting the city's busi- ness in an efficient and business-like man- ner. PENSION TRIBUNALS INSUFFICIENT At this eary date, it is becoming apparent that the new pensions machinery, while com- mendable in principle, is going to be entirely insufficient for the tasks of the immediate future. Several sittings have already been held by the tribunal, and cases have been disposed of at the rate of from four to eight a day. Even with fdur tribunals sitting in various parts of Canada, and allowing for some speeding up of procedure, it is appar- ent that fifty cases per day must be about the limit of the capacity of the present boards. When it is considered that the chairman of the tribunals has stated that there are 100,000 cases for which reconsid- eration has been asked, it will be realized how hopelessly inadequate the machinery is. No matter how willing it may be to speed up consideration of these cases, it will take many years before the end of the list is in sight, no matte} how hard the members of the tribunals may work. It may take some time before the full sig- nificance of the situation dawns upon the people of Canada, and on the government. By next spring, when parliament meets again, it will probably be necessary to make a thorough review of the situation, and to greatly increase the machinery, even if on- ly as a temporary measure, to clean up the tens of thousands of cases waiting decision. For it must be remembered that in nearly every case veterans, widows and children are suffering untold hardship and misery while their cases are being held up for considera- tion. That is the sad part of it. It should be remembered, too, that even when the tri- bunals give favorable decisions to the men, the case is not settled. The board of.pen- sion commissioners still has the right to en- ter appeal and already this has been done in some of the cases which the tribunals have - heard. This means further delays of many months while the necessary steps to hear the appeals are taken, since the appeal court is not yet constituted, and awaits the appoint- ment of a chairman. The new pension legislation provided many splendid things for the benefit of the war veterans, but these benefits are in a fair way to being lost because of the entire in- adequacy of the means of hearing their claims and disposing of them. INEQUALITY IN SALARIES Mitchell Hepburn, member of parliament for West Elgin, did a useful service when, speaking in the South Waterloo election campaign, he attacked the huge salaries paid to the members, and particularly to the chairman of the Ontario Liquor Control Board. It will be recalled that when this board was first appointed, Premier Ferguson said he was looking for a "strong man and was prepared to pay the price to get him. His first strong man, D. B. Hanna, did not keep the job very long, although the salary was $20,000 a year, and Sir Henry Drayton stepped into his shoes, at the same muni- ficent salary. The point to which most sensible people will take exception is that the payment of so large a salary to the head of the Liquor Control Board magnifies the position out of all proportion to its real importance. It is more than is paid to the prime minister of Canada, the prime minister of Ontario re- ceives, more than the chairman of the hydro- electric commission is paid. Yet one will - dare to assert that these offices are subordin- ate, in importance, to that of the chief bar- tender of the province of Ontario. Mr. Hepburn voiced the sentiments of many people whén he objected to the fact that the three members of the Liquor Con- trol Board received, between them salaries amounting to $40,000 a year. This amount is out of all proportion to the duties involved in the offices, and to the services rendered the people of Ontario. But when he put through the Liquor Control Bill, the premier of Ontario had to make it appear that his board was to be a real controlling body, so he promptly lost control of the provincial purse to the extent of paying salaries suffici- ent to make cabinet ministers and provincial . prime ministers turn green with envy. So in more ways than one, the Liquor Control Board is an expensive luxury of Ontario, just as expensive a luxury as the products which they sell to people who can, in many cases, ill afford to buy them, EDITORIAL NOTES The policeman who shot and severely wounded a fifteen-year-old boy who was run- ning away must have had a greatly exag- gerated opinion of his rights.

Other Editor's Comments CONDEMNS THE DIRIGIBLE (London Daily News) The whole future of the airship as a commercial proposition de- pends on this: whether an airship which is able to carry a commercial load ean be built of sufficient struc |g. tural strength to face with complete security the strains of travel in the air, For that reason the Daily Mail since the beginning of avia- tion has condemned it. If there are unknown strains in the air which no designer can forecast or calculate, then the, commercial air- ship is a folly and a positive dan- er to human life.
