towns that has found the new assessment for 1040 based on the new gray survey and valuation to be a bit drastic ncording to the huntsville forester the forester has compiled a list of towns of similar size to huntsville and finds that as sessment figures are about half of the new 3108000 assessment of huntsville for 1049 commenting on the list of assessment figures of various ontario municipalities the forester says from these figures it is quite obvious that the advice of toronto experts on assessment values is not being freely sought by the smaller towns in ontario of similar size is a question spicious example of the isolationist principle in taxation values whether it can be shown that property values here arc double those of other towns n ontario of similar size is n question into which the experts might set their teeth it may and will be agreed that the high rate of assessment in huntsville permits a tax- rate below that of other towns similarly placed this situation however is one from which the taxpayer can derive little comfort when his tax- bill under the new and lower rate represents a figure fully comparablo with that of other towns where lower assessments and higher rates prevail if the local assessment survey and taxation values had been in the hnnds of our own offic ials as this paper urged they should have been it is highly improbable that our total assess ment would have been increased 100 per cent a nominal increase would have been looked for preceded by a campaign of education through which the taxpayers would have been fully in formed of the purpose of the increase and the need of value adjustments as the situation now stands any value we may derive from a lower tax rate is nullified by an assessment level far out of proportion with that of comparable towns and just as like ly to adversely affect the interests of the town it is not nn easy task to establish any differ ence in the psychological effect upon a prospect tive taxpayer of an excessively high assess ment and low rate on the one hand or a moder ate assessment with a moderate rate on the other high assessments are just as likely to drive fear and hesitation into the heart of n prospective industrial or private citizen as high tax rates huntsvilres objective might have been reached more effectively if greater moderation in assessment values had been exercised at least we would have maintained a more uniform position with comparable towns in ontario a position which is not likely to become ration alized through any mad stampede on the part of other towns to lollow huntsvilles example ontario law enforcement the shocking djsposal of the liquor charges in manitoulin island with the evidence present ed in court is just another startling example of the inadequacy of ontario police courts and the administration of justice from queens park it follows the same pattern that was taken in the cases against the operation of amusement concessions on stfnday at ontario summer re ports thev were allowed to operate the full season before anv charge were laid profits go above all else there uppears to be absolute ly no enforcement of the liquor laws in ontario teen age boys and girls can jo injo any town or citv where they are not known and they are served seemingly without question at least they appear later intoxicated police are almost powerless to get convictions in the courts for drunkencss and arc losing any interest in making arrests or taking cases to court we have an overdose of law and a sad lack of justice if mr blackwell aspires to leadership as premier of ontario ho would- do well to give attention to his present department in tho jtrovince mr drew failed to make the grade last election in a safe riding most folks of ontario want decent law en forcement and more backing for the police who are making an honest effort in most cases only i to he frustrated when cases lire taken to court how fur in thiferwe russia has many ways of threatening us remarks the financial post editorially one way is keeping us in a constant state of jitters our present defense spending may bo inade quate but also to be remembered is tho fact that too big an annual commitment taking too many of our people out of production and into unproductive defense could also have very ser ious effects on the health of our economy is that not just what russia is after to weaken our economy so that sho will be rela tively stronger by keeping the democratic nations in a fever of rearmament which feeds inflationary fires saps the economic blood of the nation and contributes to unrest russia is winning battles against us some arming we must do but too much can be as serious as too little it is only in combination with others that canadas defense program can be wisely drafted and it is only nn economically strong canada that can serve the cause of freedom in peace or in war cri6cr3 recollections ol aclon ml ifol living tho ideology flfou would fight for world labor is being torn apart by the war of ideologies the ideology of communism hns already captured control of the major unions in france and italy as well ns the countries be hind the iron curtain and has even infiltrated many of the unions here in spite of the efforts of sound leadership to stop it recently two large unions the united pub lic workers of america and the united electo ral workers were blacklisted by the atomic energy commission becnusc their leadership is suspepted of communist affiliation today we see the spectacle of sound labor men cither trying to stamp out communism in their unions by strong arm methods or being slowly sucked under by the communist stra tegy of smear and sabotage fred copeman former british delegate to the comitern and now chnirmnn of the cen tral lcwishnn labor party said recently our own labor movement has lost the fire and faith of george lanshury kcir hardy and tom mann men who were led by god communist dialectics enahled people to die willingly for the party this is because communism convinces people that its ideas and ideals are the ones needed for the present world what is the an swer to nllthis copeman stressed that the answer is not negative criticism but building a greater more constructive inspiring fight- ing ideology and living it backiniaon lyofrt th luurt of thi iyfir rn of thiirwluy ontenlw 20 iroft
