resolution was adjourned after some discussion by the government leader senator dandurand it would bo better sen ator turriff said in presenting his resolution for the senate- to reform itself than to hnvc the people reform it thursday morning aril 10 1924 editorial open season for trout deferred until may fifteenth trout fishermen generally feci that hon charles mcooa minister of the fish and game department at toronto has been illadvised in shortening tho open season for trout fishing at tho beginning of the season instead of at the close to make the close season commence the first of september or even the fifteenth of august would bo qui 15 within reason and would mean protection to the spawning trout but to defer tho open season until may httccn seems to be altogether unjustifiable and unreasonable nothing is gained of advantage to the trout when tho whole season is considered canadas dairy trade increases canadas exports of cream and fresh milk to the united states increased very considerably during the year 1023 compared with 1022 tho figures being 2608747 gallons of cream valued at 445752 against 1845325 gallons valued at 2832215 and of fresh milk 2132765 gallons valued at 437215 against 78584 gallons valued at 102510 the united states also took last year 10971 12 pounds of butter valued at 460336 04200 pounds of cheese valued at 10167 383464 pounds of powdered milk valued at 42818 and 024100 pounds or niilk can ned or preserved valued at 105125 perpetual care of falrview cemetery plots the indications are that tho matter of the per petual care of fairview cemetery plots will eventual ly become a reality whether immediate action taken by the municipal council of acton or not it may not be generally known that the council has already committed itself to the scheme whether intentionally or not is immaterial the fact remains that the council has already accepted from several parties sums of from 50 to 100 by the very act of accepting these several sums the council is legally and morally bound to have the plots thus endowed properly taken care of in perpetuity numbers of other persons have inserted clauses in their wills in structing- their executors to pay over to the council or other such incorporated body which may be in charge of fairview cemetery sums up to 100 each why not go heartily and unitedly into this matter with the purpose ofmaking perpetual care general and thus ensure the success of tho plan from the outset it is sure to become general eventually the very reasonable thing under existing conditions would be to make an intelligent beginning and to make it now the principals of good citizenship the inculcation of the principles of good citizen- sbip is a most desirable matter and is especially im portant to the rising generation it was julia ward howe one of tho greatest women america has pro- duced who suggested years ago that signing a pledge 6fgood citizenship should be one of the features of the celebration of any countrys natal day and signing that pledge should be expected of the nativeborn citizens as well as of the foreignborn thernajority ofjis were born in christian homes and grew up in a religious atmosphere but there came a time when we publicly declared our adherence to the faith irr which we had been reared and pledged our selves to the service of the father of us all and so though we may have lived all our life in an atmos phere of patriotism it is fitting that as we reach years of understanding we should take the pledge of good citizenship some of us are of the opinion that as far as we ourselves are concerned this would be qui to unnecessary we say indignantly that we are ready to bo good citizens without taking any pledge but many very well meaning citizens are not good citizens perhaps for all our indignation we are not altogether sure what good citizenship requires for one thing a good citizen roust be a thinking citizen ignorant citizens are a danger intelligence is es sential some cu our girls are going to have a re sponsibility which their grandmothers did not have for they are not only going to be citizens but voters that means that in order to do their duty to our country they must be intelligent on public questions capable of thinking things out for themselves it is true that before an election every voter receives from the political party with which bo is affiliated a sample 1 ballot showing just where to put the cross in voting for party candidates but ono who depends on that sample ballot and marks the x as he is told without any thinking on his own part cannot pos sibly be called a good citizen many people consider themselves good citizens who seem utterly lacking in the sense of civic obligation the streets of their town are dirty but it never occurs to them that they have a responsibility in that regard the schools are poor but beyond a little grumbling they do nothing about it tho control of the towns fairs is in the hands of inexperienced men and money that should go for improvements goes for nought and yet the average citizen docs nothing more drastic- than say isnt it a shame good citizenship has the city beautiful as ono of its goals good citizens should see that men both competent and hdnest are put in public office there ore plenty such and the fact that tho other sort are so largely in control is merely duo to tho fact that there are so many stupid indifferent citizens who should bo good citizens it would be a pity for our girls uo get the idea that their pledge of good citizenship would go into effect only after they reached llolr majority there are plenty of ways in which young people can practice good citizenship the girl who keeps the porch boxes well cared for and the lawn raked through the sum mer and- p ok a ti the scraps of ojd newspapers which come blowing down the sidewalks la doing an im portant part of a citizens duties if sho helps the girl in tho kitchen to learn to read and write she is doing something still more important if in her school life she stand for justice and fair dealing and frowns uporf tho ungenerous treatment of some boy or girl of alien blood she is helping to establish liquor sales for revenue tho principal argument for repeal of prohibition presented at meetings of political and other organ izations at which the ontario tcmpcranco act is under fire is that the illicit sale of liquor is putting great sums of money into the pockets of tho boot leggers of tho province and that this money should be diverted to the provincial treasury by the sub stitution of government sale for distribution by divekeepers 1 is pointed out that in british columbia and in quebec the provincial authorities are making profits totalling millions of dollars yearly from the sale of liquor to their citizens for beverage purposes and to rumrunners who smuggle it to the united states would government sale in ontario put bootleggers out 0 busincssj and transfer the profits that enrich them to the public treasury laying aside jor the momeirl the question of morals and assuming that tho great majority of the people of this province would not object to paying their taxes by keeping bar wjjuld the opening of numerous provincial liquor stores end the operations of tho divekeepers and illicit whiskey pcddlars there is abundant testimony to be had from officers of the law in british columbia and in quebec that govern ment sale does not accomplish this end it is asserted that in british columbia not over half the liquor consumed in tho province passes through the gov ernment stores thero is very real competition be tween the divekeeper and the government and the people are openly asked to patronize the pdblic stores so that they may lessen their taxes by drinking whiskey sold by their own agents leaying the ques tion of morals out of the matter altogether is there a reputable business man in ontario who would suggest that the government should provide facili ties for the wasting of 40000000 a year dn liquor in order that one dollar in eight of tho money thus spent shall find its woy back to tho provincial treasury tho policy of government sale is a policy of economic folly far better would it be for the government to take the revenue expected from it outpf the pockets of the people by direct taxation and leave them the balance that otherwise would be spent on whiskey to mow into tho channels of bene ficial trade as it does todayfor the rjurchase of food clothing furniture houses motor
