morning april 3 1924 editorial economies in the estimates a mere glance at the estimates of the dominion government shows very material savings apart al together from that on railways account nearly 4000000 on interest on public debt 330000 on immigration 1144000 on defence 1881000 on public works income 2400000 on soldiers land settlement 3714000 on soldiers civil reestablish ment mora than sgoqpooo on miscellaneous very often a sinkhole for moneys and 61 1835 on dominion parks not a bad showing and one made all the brighter with a prospect under tho budget of reduced taxation what government control would mean if the ontario temperance act should be repealed the ontario elector who votes for government con trol nd if afterwards injured by the reckless driving of adrunken auto driver will not get much public sympathy it is surely bad enough now with an occasional redeyed fiend in charge of a motor vehicle but what will it be if men can by purchasing a yearly license get bottles of booze at a government shop it is true there are severe penalties against anyone in charge- of an auto being in an intoxicated condition but that would not bring back the life or reduce the agony of those killed or maimed by the driver of an auto who is in a maudlin condition chesley enterprise big increase in trade the total trade of canada for the eleven months of the fiscal year ending march i was 1771351283 or 193188505 more than in the corresponding year both imports and exports shared in the increases imports were up 05000000 exports of domestic merchandise increased 98000000 of domestic ex ports in the eleven months agricultural and vege table products with a total of 365000000 form the large t item ncrtlormf wood and wood products with a total of 245000000 of imports iron and its products came first the total being 156000000 a total of 245000000 exports during the month of february were ten millions higher than in february 1023 intports were three millions lower some people forget the former times facts are forgotteji when people say there is as much drinking now as bcfarethc adoption of the ontario temperance act before the ontario tem perance act came into force the people drank twenty times as much whiskey gin and brandy as the high estimate made of present day bootleggers and rum runners supply ypt it is announced a plebiscite is to bo taken in ontario on the ontario temperance act to improve present conditions when they were never so good from tho temperanco standpoint as they are today the word plebiscite simply means that an expression of the opinion of the people will be take if but it has no binding effect on the govern mem it ib altogether different to a referendum which is a mandate to u government to proceed along the lines indicated by tho preponderance of votes recorded on the particular question submitted there never was a hotter temperance law than that under the ontario temperance act and while everybody well knows the act is not enforced as well as it should be yoi generul conditions under it have im proved very much smiths fulls kecordnewb municipalities wnnt port of government revenues a deputation from thq ontario municipal asso ciation waited upon premier ferguson las wock with several requests for changes in legislation and regu lations thoy requested that the municipalities be given a share of the amusement tax nowcoltcctcd by the ontario government the rcqubst was based on tile argument that fcho municipalities hadto pro vide protection inspection etc the deputation also asked a share of the revenue derived from motor licenses in order to make greater expenditures on roads claiming that they should get some revenue from the motorists who use them tho deputation expressed itself as favoring a tax on gasoline the prime minister said nothing could be done this yef r but noxi year the government might move in the direction asked and possibly put on a gasoline tax neighborhood news town and country snjea tax reductions the prime minister stirred hopes in the hearts of tho people last week when ho intimated to the brant- ford electors who waited upon him regarding tariff changes that removal of ftio sales tax upon farm implements was not beyond tho bounds of possibility further ho advised them not toacccpt tho phrase in the speech from tho throne implements of produc lion as referring to farm implements alone its interpretation he hinted might be- broader than had been thought by the press and by members of par liament these vague intimations sent the branttord deputation homo convinced that after all the liberal policy might not bo such as to rdin the farm imple ment industry indeed that it might work out to the benefit of the manufacturing and distributing com munity as well as to that of the producers of food 6f course only the budget will tell but meantime industrial western ontario is very much reassured editorial notes- ontario and quebec with 60 per cent of the population of canada contributed 77 per cent of the income tax tho total income tax paid in 1023 was 59700000 jack johnston tho well known and illfamed pugclist was billed to put on an exhibition bout in tho town of trcifton recently but an indignant public put up such a protest that tho engagement had to bo cancelled it speaks well for public opinion in trenton j a pinard m p p has resigned his position as whip of tho liberal party following reproof for introducing the 7 per cent beer bill without first consulting his leader the liberal party in ontario has takengtrong ground against tumpcring with the ontario temperance act to make it less effective the agitation for abolishuig the receipt tax is becoming more persistent it brings in but little revenue and is generally considered to be a nuisance this opinion is largely held not because it utfects us to any great extent but because it looks like a peanut policy and ts the nuisance the people claim it is tho provincial board of health has ordered the town of forest to install a waterworks system not withstanding that tho electors have voted the water works bylaw down twice rather than obey the mandate of the board the mayor and three members of tho council have resigned these four members of the council can hardly pose as being loyal to their towns best interests it now seems unlikely that tho muchdiscussed gasoline tax will como into effect until 1025 at that time it is said all automobile drivers including private owners and members of their families who desire to drive will bo examined as to proficiency and licensed the number of autos is increasing so rapidly that some such action uppears necessary for the protection of tho public tho great british empire exhibition will open in april and will bring together most of the trade interests of tho empire there will be a large dele gation of tho canadian manufacturers association who will visit the exhibition and also during this time the associated advertising clubs of tho world will bb in convention in loudon tho canadian weekly newspaper association party will visit the exhibition in july tho improved financial position of tho canadian national kailways is gratifying for the first two months of tho year an increase in gross revenue of 1433778 has bjccu accompanied by a decrease in operating expenses of 2098050 und these two months show u net profit of 262376 as compared with adetlcit of 3270052 making an improvement for tho first two months of 1924 us compared with the samo period in 1023 of 3532428 i be careful today the question of person u i safety is soiuctimes lost sight of in the rush and bustle of these times noth ing but good can coma of a general effort to reduce the losses due to accidents m this country and tho idea betarcful today should bo curried throughout tho lund there urn too many accidents soma serious and many slight but all costly in some form or other and nearly ull preventable by tho exercise of ordin ary cuie and cuution most of us are inclined to take chances of various kinds in uu effort to save a few seconds which might better bo spent in taking time to be careful an uvei age of over two hundred accidents each duy reported by industry for the past ycur to the workmens compensation board of this province is ample evidence of tho need for more care for contrary to general belief most of these accidents do not involve coutact with machinery ft is a fact hat ubout unothirttonly of the accidents reported to tho compensation board ure mechanical accidents the other twothirds being nonmechanical such us falls burns scratches strains etc showing clearly the personal factor in accidents and demon strating tho need for moro thought the advice be careful today for tomorrow may
