an hualna ttealdtnc hoover strong for prohibition when president hoover delivered his imiukural address at washington in march three years ufto he was uncompromising in his promise to give his sup port to the successful operation and enforcement of tho laws of the united states prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors in that country he still stands in this strong position after seeing at close range the real value of these measures to the country ho governs in transmitting the report of his com mission on law observance and enforcement to congress last week president hoover virtunlly declared himself a prohibitionist he is he mutes in favor of the report of the commission which by a large majority does not favor the repeal of the eighteenth amendment and is in unity with the spirit of the report in seeking constructive steps to advance the national ideal of eradication of the social and economic and political evils of the liquor traffic an inopportune proposal the proposal to provide a public health unit for the schools of the county at a cost of 18000 per annunij wotdd seem to have made its appearance ut a very inopportune time whatever assistance mrty be promised by the provincial authorities will to a large extent ho discredited in view or the cut which all boards aru facing in the school grunts formerly enjoyed just what the reduction in grunts will mean to acton this year is not available yet but undoubtedly the ratepayers will be called upon this year to provide a considerable incrensc for school purposes owing to this reduction of provincial grants undoubtedly there is much to he said in favor of the health unit as proposed but there ts also a limit to the pocketbook of the ratepayers and there is apparently no guarantee tlmt the government will continue the assistance indefinitely on any of the schemes which the municipalities are once committed to in view of the present efficiency of matters pertaining to health in the community and tin ndtlril hllrdins uliirli in rr n nj called upon to meet in educational matters this year this new scheme will find small favor who payo the shortage or 100000000 which will in all probability he shown in the canadian budget this year coupled with the added expenditure that the government will be expected to fulfill will give the new dominion pnrliament plenty upon which to exercise its financial abilities federal grants have been called for in larger measure than ever before and these have been promised lavishly restrictions on trade hy the new hands and leduction or excise tax by the former regime have largely accounted for a railing off or receipts now when taxes were being lightened conies the announcement or a turnover tax o two per cent to meet the circumstance of course the imposition or a tux of any kind means siinply that the impost is ultimately paid hy the con sumer in these times of general reduction on all commodities to a level in keeping with wages avail able a riscin the cost to the consumer is uot k to gall much tuvor without a doubt the money has to come from some place it is also seated there will bo relatively row tariff

hotter off with the new changes is hard to conceive the worm turns the constant piling up of the county rate in all counties has had the effect of forcing the attention of the ratepayers to tbeso bodies wo believe it was in eramosn township where a request was made to the department of highways to cease tho grant and allow of the appointment of a man who will bo responsible to thejouncil hs noad superintendent more and moro will come the realization that county and provincial and domiuitrlt grants of assistance in various works arc nothing more or less than giving back by an expensive route of funds supplied by the rotcpaycrs themselves the county councils have long been tho goats for making the direct levy against the municipalities and being in direct lino will undoubtedly ho tho first to hear criticism the sysremis a wasteful otic and it would seem the electors are determined to reach further than tho local councils to level their criticism and strike nt the county council in tho new faces at tho wellington county council this ycur can be seen a result of the campaign waged by the fergus- newsrecord for tho last few years against this body moro and more will this same movement be noticeable in other counties- unless the county and bodies high up desist from their practise of shoving the burden back on tho ratepayers drink and ihivlng where theres drink theres danger the careful examination of scientists has conclusively proven that one average drink of intoxicating liquor will cause a mental lapse of a tiny fraction of a second which may deprive an automobile driver of tho margin of safety necessary to prevent a crush with another car or a wayside obstacle the brain signal takes onefifth or a second to produce effect one drink of liquor slows this operation to twofifths of a second mid in that time n car going at thirty- live miles per hour will truvel twenty feet which is considerably more than tho margin of safety nearly 15000 people huve been killed mid 400000 to 500000 persons many or them children have been maimed and otherwise injured by drunken drivers locomotive drivers with heavy steel mils to guide them are carefully examined and forbidden to drink by all ruilwnys and the public would be shocked if they were not the highpowered and heavy motor cars and trucks are potentially as dan gerous as locomotives whose
