The new fees, h are somewhat higher than those of year, are based on the number of wlinders to a car. From a superficial view- , this might seem fair, yet when one ers that the underlying principle of sutomobile license fees is that vehicles hall pay in accordance with the wear and they inflict on the highways, it is far 'from being fair. .& Under the new fee system, a four cylin- "der car pays a license fee of seven dollars, 'while a six cylinder car pays twelve dollars. Yet most four cylinder cars are just as heavy, have just as great a wheel base, nd inflict just as much wear and tear on the roads as a,six cylinder car. If the ent has been anxious to secure a fair basis for taxation, surely the weight of a car would have been more in keeping 'with the principles of the motor license system. Coming down to specific instances, one might well see in the new scale of rates something of discrimination against cer- tain six-cylinder cars. For instance, the license fee on the Chevrolet six-cylinder car 'is twelve dollars, while that on the Ford 'four-cylinder car is seven dollars. Yet, from the standpoint of wear and tear on the highways, there is no appreciable dif- between the two. They are con- as competing cars, which are in same price class, and in weight there little to choose between them. Why should be this discrimination in licen- © ge fees, therefore, is difficult to understand, unless it be that the official setting the fees, was looking for the easiest way of do- ing it, without consideration to fairness. © © We would submit that the fairest way to assess license fees, having in mind the basic principle of wear and tear on the 'highways, would be by weight. The depart- 'ment could set a fixed fee for varying | weights of cars, in units, perhaps, of 500 4 or 100 pounds. The weight of these cars is now standardized, and with a definite weight classification for each make of car, ould be no more difficult to_fix the fee an under the old horse-power system. The government has issued its order, but it might very well take into consideration the unfairness of the basis it has adopted, and, before it is too late, remove discrim- on by adopting a more equitable stand- of measurement. An Explanation \ Tn an editorial paragraph a few days ago, following appeared: "Thirty more Oshawa men have gone th, which means thirty less mouths for e city to feed." * Since this paragraph has been construed, n some quarters, as being a reflection upon men who went to the Northern Ontario truction camps last week, we hasten 0 give an explanation. There was no pught on the part of The Times to imply t these men were all receiving charit- ; ince from the city. The idea that the dep of these lirty men from the city means that there | be thirty less men looking for employ- mt, thirty less men turning to the civic orities«in the quest for a job. This, of is the main purpose behind 'provid- work for them. in the north. The city, f"employme less men on its lists |. BITS OF VERSE tion because of poor health took effect at the beginning of the month, Though Mr. Blanchard's appointment is now certain, it is not expected that he will be appointed for several months, as the Government does not wish to have a by-election at the pre- sent time, it is unddrstood. For the time being, Miss Mary Brawley, Deputy Sheriff, will be Acting Sheriff. The business of the Sheriff's office has been carried on by Miss Brawley for the past four months, The Henry Government should take an early opportunity to state whether or not Mr. James Blanchard, M.P.P., has actually been designed as Sheriff of Ontario County; and if so whether the official announce- ment of the appointment is being delayed for picayune political reasons. The charge of the Beaverton Express, if allowed to remain unanswered, would, per- haps, do the Government as much political damage as a defeat in a by-election. It seems improbable that any Government in Canada would appoint a new Sheriff, and then ask all parties to the transaction to enter a conspiracy of silence to prevent that fact from becoming known. It seems inconceivable that the Henry Government, with its overwhelming majority in the House, would do so for no other purpose than to forestall a by-election for a matter of a few months. Editorial Notes The National Service Loan is slowly but surely nearing its objective. The seasons are getting more mixed than ever. Nowadays we have hockey, football and lacrosse all going on at the same time, and in some places the odd golfer is taking a round of the course. It would be interesting to know how many hundreds of the men who were re- gistered as unemployed in Oshawa in Aug- ust are now working steadily. Election campaigns are now in progress in some Ontario municipalities. There is some merit in the plan of getting the elec- tion out of the way before the Christmas season comes, It is beginning to look as if this is going to be a snowless November. The story of the village of Columbus, as it is told in today's issue of The Times, shows the great change which has come over these small communities in the on- ward march of progress. ] Other Editor's Comments SLAUGHTER ON THE ROADS (Chicago Tribune) If only a small part of the money and thought which has been devoted since 1918 to the prevention of war had been spent on the prevention of auto- mobile accidents there might be some real accom- plishments to point to, As it is, Americans are be- ing killed and maimed on the streets and highways of this country at about the same rate at which American soldiers fell in the war. One difference of course, is that in war only men were killed and wounded. Automobiles do not respect either age or sex. Women and children, young and old, appear in the casualty lists, ENGLAND PROTECTIONIST (Philadelphia Ledger) , England, the last important citadel of free trade in the world turns to protectionism in this time of economic stress. For many years dire predictions have been current as to what would happen to Eng- land and to the world if the British ever abandoned fred trade.

THE OSHAWA DAILY Eye Care and' Eye Strain by C. H. Tuck, Opt. D (Copyright, 1928) Part 4 : Even in the wearing of gog- gles a certain eye strain may be acquired according to the type of lens used, The lens in goggles and in all the cheaper grade of glasses, in being not optically perfect creates a certain strain upon the eyes of the user. In the relief from the effects of direct or reflected light the end in view is to reduce the in- tensity of radiation of rays of light entering the eygs and to properly accomplish this end it is necessary to know the condition of the eyes and how they are used. Radiant energy injurious to the eyes may be defined as those light and heat waves of such in- tensity or frequency of vibration as to be harmful to the delicate tissues of the eyes which are adapted to a more normal radi- ancy. Harmful conditions of this na- ture abound where work with visible energy of this kind is re- quired as in testing lamps, fur- nace work, cutting, welding, and brazing in the steel making, high frequency welding, Oxyacetylene and Oxo-Hydrogen Welding. The harmful element increases where the more powerful energy is used. And the protection exists in the wearing of the lens, or other protection that when worn cuts out the harmful rays that go to help make up the light as gener- ated originally. -------------------------- % -- WARREN H, TOR OF THE DIANA) DAILY BAYS: "The depression is over, "Whether or not the publie in general belleves it, whether or not we suffer a recession or two on the upward path, it is never- theless possible to assert confl- dently that the depression is over and know that the future will Justify the remark.

Francis Hydro-Electric Company Limit- ed, and other private owners of property bordering on the St. Francis River between Hemming Rapids and Rapides des Peches, have entered a petition of right, asking the courts to set aside leases granted to Southern Can- ada Power Company by the Pro- vincial Government in August, 1917. The action taken against the Attorney-General of the Province of Quebec and the Southern Can- ada Power Company, defendant and respondents, respectively, is being heard before Judge Tessier in first division of the Superior Court. The St. Francis Hydro-Elec- tric Company and other owners of property have produced deeds and other documents to show rights to the bed and banks of the river opposite their proper- ties. The lots in question were grants made by the Crown in the nineteenth century and were lastingly at it. "In the time of depression lies the greatest of opportunities for the wise and foresighted com- pany, Then is the time that fit may gain such an overwhelming lead over its competitors that ft can never be overtaken.

AND THAT IS TO START RIGHT NOW TO RIDE THE RIS- ING TIDE IN THE HOPES OF DISTANCING THOSE LEAST WISE OF ALL FIRMS WHICH INSIST ON WAITING UNTIL PROSPERITY IS BACK BEFORE RENEWING THEIR ADVERTIS- ING."

E. Taschereau, N.P., at Quebec on August 3, 1917. Because the Southern Canada Power Company has never at- tempted to take possession of the bed of the river opposite peti- tioners' properties, but as the pe- titioners are desirous themselves of making use of their rights as cwners, end are prevented from doing so, and from financing their undertaking by the exist- ence of the lease in question and the slur thus cast upon their own titles, they wish tc have it de- clared by the courts that the lease of August 3rd, 1917, is in- '| valid, and of no force and effect in so far as it purports to affect the bed and banks of the St. Francis River, opposite to the petitioners' properties.
