freely stated that the united states would probably cancel tho indebtedness of the allies to that country which was incurred during the war it isjnow reported however that the new administration under

iivcome tax returns industrial returns kxclac tax returns ad libitum one thing is absolutely certain tho government is helping keep up tho co3t of doing business by demanding so many reports filled out no ordinary man can keen up with tho demand for statistics witfable tho noor irf elevated above tho i a urounl wnd la covoro i with tntnml a this that and the other to say nothing of income tax reports excise taxrcports etc and while we are in tho humor wo might point out to the federal government that thoy can savo a whole lot or money if they cease sending out the dozens of reports elleg cd news items etc that find their way to every edi torial desk in tho country each week en route to the waste basket space is too scarco and composition too expensive for editors to bother with the bunch of junk thattho government departments keep turning out by the ton renfrew mercury and they expect us to give gratituous publication too tbe yukon still busy i someone asked tho other day whother thoy were still getting gold in tho yukon district the govern meat reports recently issued show that during 1020 the yukon territory gold output was 1 10 goo ounces an amount scarcely worth while overlooking yet in sympathy with other things tho cost of production has increased enormously during tho last few years when if ever this labor cost is reduced it is probable that large quantities of gold bearing gravel which has not yer been worked to any degree will bo wash ed materially increasing tho output no tho klon dike is not going to bo eft entirely alone for a while yet increase of federal taxes imperative the enormous costs of tho war to canada must be met tho dominion government is obliged to get more revenue from tho country to moot this from some source various methods have been put into operations the luxury ttfx has been experimented with proved disastrous and has been abondoned the income tax is a complex method and is not proving either equitable or satisfactory the excise tax is important but the necessary inspection is cum brous and expensive tho business organizations of the country such as tho manufacturers association and the retail association favor a tax on business turnover and enlarged sales tax the consumer in the final analysis a includes every citizen has to pay all taxes anyway and perhaps lower prices and moro prosperity will follow making conditions easier for business on tho internal side b bat l ese m open shop and organized labor the nashville tcnn advocate presents a very sane view of labor s best interests in tho following wo respectfully affirm that wo have not seen or read anything which in our opinion would justify us in concluding with qulto a number of oditors that a plea for the open shop means a plea for tho extermination of organized labor there is no doubt that some who in their own business are practicing tho principle of open shop have in view the exter mination of unionized labor but that all or any considerable part of those who are in favor of the open shop arcin a conspiracy to deiinionize labor as some so seriously assume nnd gliblyvsscrr is j conclusion which is not supported by fact so far as we can discover we believe us we have often stated that laborhas a perfect right to organize at tho aame time we as strongly beliove that if a man does not care to join a union ho has a right to work where he pleases and to employ whomsoever he pleases a method of senate uefora x the current number of tho canaatmt magazine contains an interesting article from tho pen of senator l g power 6n iho reformation of the senate which ho cair the seconfl chamber the senator admits tho futility of the existing system by which senators nro appointed without any responsi bility to tho electorate by the government which happens to bo in power by this method the senate chamber becomes lopsided and supports the ad rrtidistration which is governing the country sena tor power recommends that the dominion should be divided into ninety six senatorial district ono of which should bo assigried to each of the members now occupying seats in tho senate as vacancies occur they ahould bo filled by election for tho district when tho vacancy occurs the franchise should be the samo as fhatfonhe house of commons and tho manner of election should bo tho same mutatis mutandis as that for the lower house the son a tore thus ejected should serve for life he argues if the senate has any real function and senator power argues that it has this method of security members wouldae v

he laid emphasis on tho fact that thefts of automobiles wcro becoming notorious and ex pressed regret that boys from 14 tb 16 years of age were to bo found smoking cigarettes to their great injury cooperation or home and school urged tho importance of leadership by teachers and tho value of home and school or similar organizations in connection with high school were two points spec ally emphasized by president mccready in his open ing address to tho second annual convention of ontario federation of home and school associations at iho o a convention in toronto last week amplifying his chief point mr mccready said our best hope for getting ahead is in the leadership from enterprising teachers of vision who cannot do the best work for the communities in which they are placed unless

that which carries with it the greatest waste is what is known as the once in a whilekind up until four years ago there was a certain soap thait was known around the world it had been the most persistently advertised article offered in the markets of the world during the previous hundred years troni the day this soap was first put on the market in 1812 if was advertised in a small way but persistently and continuously for the last 50 years it has been one of the best advertised products in the world then the direct ors decided that because the factory was selling to capacity advertising could be discontinued as a use- x leas expense in less than one year from that time the business of the firm dropped 35 per cent in volume that soap is again being adyertised and we understand it is necessary to spend 5000000 in extra publicity over previous appropriations to get back to normal this firnfwas not a flier in adver- tising its product had been used for generations and was known in the homes of the world but it cost its makers 5000000 to learn that advertising was as necessary to it as the raw products that enter into its making i the history of merchandising is
