THURSDAY, JUNE 11th, 1931 WINNING THEIR CONFIDENCE Mayor Marks is to be complimented on the manly way he is meeting the unemploy- ed men of this city and discussing with them the steps which he, as mayor, pro- poses to take in an effort to solve their prob lems. There is no equivocation, no tempor- izing in his attitude. When he says he and his colleagues on the city council are de- termined to do everything possible to secure provincial and federal government assist- ance in dealing with the present situation, he means exactly what he says. When he says that no man, women or children will be allowed to go hungry in Oshawa, he is sincere in his declaration. And the crowd of unemployed men who hear him know that. The know the honest, generous na- ture of the mayor, and they know that his sympathies are entirely with them in their plight. . The result is that. hehas won their con- fidence, He has entirely disarmed those who would arouse unwise agitations by tak- ing the bull by the horns, taking the unem- ployed into his confidence, and letting them know what is being done to relieve the situation. * How this has proven a wise pol- icy is shown by, the fact that after he ad- dressed the men-on Wednesday morning, all thoughts of holding a parade and demon- stration were dispelled, although it is de- finitely known that such a procedure had been thought of by a certain section of the unemployed, The mayor's attitude is a good foil for the efforts of Communist agitators trying to inflame the foreign-born citizens who are out of work. Frankness and fair dealing are splendid antidotes for Commun- ism, and Oshawa can be thankful that it has, at the present time, a mayor who has been able to win the confidence and esteem of those who are suffering on account of the 'ack of work. DUMPING DUTIES The decision of the minister of national revenue to make dumping duties strict and severe enough to make sure that the United States will not dump surplus products into this country is another effort to preserve the home market for home industries. It is no uncommon thing to find that, when there is a surplus of goods in any line of commod- ities in the United States, this surplus is sent into Canadawithout regard to price, and sold far below the noral cost of produc- tion in this country, thereby injuring Cana- dian industry, United States manufacturers - having made their fair profits on the whole output on what they sell in the United States, ship what is left into Canada, ac- cepting what they can get for these pro- ducts, knowing that their sale, even at re- duced prices, means so much more profit for them. 'It is against this vicious principle that the dumping duties are being aimed. In- making his announcement, the minister of national revenue said Canada was looked - upon as the "prize dumping-ground of the world," and this is a condition which can- not but be harmful to Canadian industries, which are thus deprived of a market which ~ should be theirs almost exclusively. The minister is being given wide authority in putting the new anti-dumping provisions into effect, and there should be no hesita- 'tion in using these powers whenever it ap- pears the reasonable thing to do to safe- guard Canadian markets for Canadian pro- ducts. * THE COUNTY TAX RATE ' Ontario County Council has made a slight reduction in the tax rate for 1931 by cut- ting down capital expenditures, and the 'ratepayers can be thankful for small mer- cies. Such action on the part of the Coun- cil was literally demanded by the ratepay- ers, for in the past year more has been. said about mounting county expenditures than at any other period in the county's his- tory. . Like the poor, the demand for econ- omy has always been with us, but during this period of depression it has been more persistent.

'There has, for in- stance, been considerable comment on the announcement of Maxfield Parrish, that af- ter painting one type of picture for 13 years he is going to change and paint a different type. The point is that he may be an utter flop with these new pictures except that his. name may carry him along for a time. It is the same with most things. The physi- cian who attempts to become a business man who tries to preach usually runs into trouble, and so it goes. The whole trend these days is toward specialism and the specialist is certainly in a rut no matter how you put it, so after all this rut business is not so terrible as it has been made out, The main thing is to pick your rut." ~ EDITORIAL NOTES A French girl is reported to have laughed three hours without stopping.

Other Editors'Comments MAY HELP OUT > (Toronto Telegram) The new duty on American magazines is intended to clear the newstands of the cheap sensational lit- erature with which U. S. publishers are deluging Canada. Although the only exemptions from the tariff so far mentioned arg religious, scientific and educational magazines, it is understood that a furth- er list of exemptions will 'be made by order-in-coun- cil and will include a number of the best periodicals published across the line. As the old and new duties combined practically amount to prohibition 'of the cheaper lines, it will be interesting to note whether the Canadian public can be forced by law to read good literature. As usual, there are those who, finding "good literature" generally dull, will probably quit reading altogether, and who knows but what the attempt to uplift the public mentality may simply result in a new ledse of life for the peanut golf courses.

If we must en- joy this confinence as it should be enjoyed we should learn to serve~honestly and grow so that we may advise soundly and wisely, We are sure to feel a sound re- ward in the satisfaction of doing good for its own sake, and if this does not convey a feeling of suffi- cient tangibility we will reap a sure reward in having done our best. There are wide spread cam- paigns throughout the land against the fitting and selling of glazed glasses, self-fitting meth- ods, and peddling. There is a cer- tain class of people who will think only of the sale they make and as long as the cheap' material can be found they are not unwilling ven- dors. They do not think of the honest service thev shold render but of a means of attracting a certain class of people or we may say enticing them to their office. It is therefore in the welfare of humanity and tn a verv great ex- tent the duty of Optometrist and Optometry to prevent as much Xs possible the increasing of this condition. (To be Continued). The lobby of the internationally known Hotel Alexandria in Los Angeles is the place on.the Pacific Coast where you find people from all over the world. Recently while strolling around this famous lobby, I met a gentleman from the East who was much concerned about taxes; in fact, somewhat worried. Among other things, he said; "I have been held up, held down, sat upon, squeezed and flattened out by the income tax, sales tax, gaso- line tax, occupation tax, the tariff tax, property tax, corporation tax, personal tax, special tax, and every other kind of tax that the inventive minds of state and government can think of to extract what I may have in my possession. "The government has governed my business until I don't know who owns it. I am inspected, suspected, examined, re-examined, informed, required and commanded so that most of the time I don't know who I am, where I am or why I am on earth at all, "I am cussed, discussed, talked to, talked about, held up, hung up by a bunch who have nearly ruined me." I asked him with so many troubles why not go over to Long Beach, tie a weight to himsel® and take a jump off the pier into the ocean. He said, "Not now. The ogly rea- son that I am clinging to life at all is to see what i§ coming next." BUT, SERIOUSLY, IT IS A WONDER THAT THE PROCESS OF SANDBAGGING SQUEEZING AND FLATTENING, VEIN DRAINING AND THE LIKE, DOES NOT BRING THE SWEET PEACE OF EXTINCTION TO A LOT OF BUSINESS CONCERNS IN THIS COUNTRY. R WALKER NEW SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPHENTS ARE DESCRIBED American Chemica! Society Hears of New Process for New York, June 9.--Two new scientific developments, one of im- portance in the study of cell life and the other expected to effect great savings in industry, were an- nounced by research scientists at a meeting of the New York section of the American Chemical Society at the Museum of Peaceful Arts, « Dr. Albert H. Ebeling of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, read a paper, {Illustrated by a motion picture in which a new process for the growth, de- velopment and treatment of living cells was described.

Industries which will benefit particularly by it-are those of paper, soap, clean- ing and dyeing, hides and leather, baking, food preservation, phar- maceutics and agriculture in the study of solls, The value of the new technique of tissue culture becomes evident, Dr, Ebeling said, when compared with the former method of study= ing dead cells. "By means of it," he said, "we can make a comparative study of normal and malignant cells watch- ing them develop as we feed them or subject them to different tests. We have also, you might say, in- vented a method of taking mo- tion pictures of three living cells So that we can make an actual re- cord of heir growth. ' "What we are trying to do is to build up a new psychology of cell life. Its ultimate value to the average individual will be that when we have discovered that un. der certain conditions living cells of a stated type always act in a definite way, we will be able to determine more nearly how to keep human living healthy and how to combat malignant dis- eases, such as cancer." The Society of Chemical Indus. try, the Societe de Chimie Indus- trielle and the American Electro- Chemical Society participated in the meeting. Professor Arthur E. Hill, of New York University, chairman of the New York sec- tion of the socity, presided. PL Dumb Dinosaur Was Big As Street Car Had Little Brains Washington, June 9.--Diplodocus, longer than a street car, taller than two men, but one of the "dumbest" beasts that everlived, now rules the roost in the National Museum's hall of dinosaurs. His brain was no bigger than an apple, but his long arched neck and giant vertebrae tower high above every other speci- men in the museum. After 170,000,- 000 years of obscurity, buried in Utah sandstone, diplodocus has come into his own. He went on ex- hibition recently as the museum' prize dinosaur speciman. Diplodocus' skeleton, one of the largest ever found, was mounted un- der supervision of Dr. Charles W. Gilmore, paleontologist of the mus- eus. Dr. Gilmore located the skele- ton in 1923, but it took eight vears to "quarry" the 2000 pounds of bones out of the rock in which they were encased. In the flesh, diplodocuc weighed fifteen tons or more, with most of oo THE-OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1931 taxation. WE PAY THE DUTY AND TAX.
