the georgetown heram wednesday evening october 12th 193s paae3 sfe a anthracite j b mackenzie son coal sokd lumber phone 33 georgetown uel for solid ci pedestrians watch your step official statistics of the department f highways show mat 40 per cent of last years highway accident victims were pedestrians there is a grim lesson in these figures which every pedestrian should take to heart for safety depends upon his carefulness pedestrians that is the sort who run risks in traffic are definitely gamb lers they gamble with their lives every time they amble joyfully off the pave ment into the midst of a stream of automobile traffic with an utter dis regard of all safety regulations they are gamblers when they step from behind parked cars unwittingly tempting death or serious injury every time they do it they are gamblers when they select the middle of a city block as a good spot to cross the street and forget all about the regu lations made far their own safety against jaywalking and in the face of all- these very evident demonstrations of careless ness on the part of pedestrians the blame for a fatality when it occurs is usually placed on the motorist very often he is not to blame for if the pedestrian had used ordinary common sense he would not have been in the path of the oncoming car and the accident would not have hap pened traffic regulations have been care fully prepared warning lights and other signals are installed at busy intersections more for the safety of the pedestrian than anyone else yet they are disregarded by a very large percentage of the pedestrian public despite the grim fact that more pedes trians are victims of highway traffic accidents than and other single group the average motorist is careful the average pedestrian js not pedestrians watch your step is certain th best of advice walk government expenses the first move of the dominion government toward balancing its budget should be to cut down expen ditures this is the effi business like procedure it is a procedure that will give impetus to business in the best possible way that will increase national productivity and in turn en large revenue from various taxes im posed it is the first and most im portant line of attack if after curtailing expenditures the governments books still fail to bal ance the most obvious source of new revenue would be to broaden the base of the present federal income tax at present there are less than a quatrer of a million canadians pay ing income tax the actual number in the last year for which figures are available was 217000 yet there are about a million and a half canadian wageearners with good incomes who pay no direct tax whatever by lowering the present exceptions especially the exemption for single men and women the gov ernment can readily tap a substantial new source of revenue at relatively small cost of collection and adminis tration financial post carefully and you are more likely to live to enjoy your walks more men travel in the autumn more men travel in the autumn on lady liners of the canadian nat ional steamship to the british west indies than during the summer months according to the booking re cords of the company judging by the inquiries made at the booking offices this information seems to have con siderable interest for some of the lady passengers travelling solo or vith their lady friends many people can just as easily tra vel in the spring or fall rather than to the peak of the summer vacation season and by so doing their employ er would probably give them an extra week wi p fo he out and
