page two the acton free press acton ontario tiiuiisday december 6th 1051 o easiest and best the nbxt fow weeks will be busy with the christmas shoppingtho timo when most folks spend a good deal of thought about the pur chasos they make to please the ones thoy love a time when many grootings of good will are ex changod between friends its truly remarkable what a busy time is croated oach year by fins ex- change of g will i grows and grows and someday it may encompass the whole world and spread throughout the whole year but these are shopping days the bigger tire ccntros the more turmoil there seems to be in getting the shopping done if you would make your shopping simple and loss tiring the place to do it is in your own community in the stores where the merchant knows you and can bo help ful in showing his stock in the homo town you wont be rushed from floor to floor the crowd will be moderate at this time of year and you ii receive personal attention for value and selection these days you ii find it hard to do better than right in your home town city stores have higher overhead and can offer you no better selection than you will securo right here count up your travel costs and other expenses and the wear and tear on yourself and youll be money in pocket by doing your christmas shopping right now and right at home it troubled solomon too it may not be much comfort but dr f cyril james principal and vicechancellor of mcgill university and a noted economist reminds us that mankinds present struggles with the prob lem of inflation arent exactly an innovation in a speech recently before the canadian chamber of commerce at quebec city ho point ed out that the full story of inflation both in re gard to its value as an economic stimulus and to ihi nauseous aftermath extends back across all the pages of history- stretching our minds back to that great solomon whose wisdom has become proverbial wherever the bible is read the record clearly indicates the extent to which the prosperity of israel during his reign was due to the inflationary stimulus provided by the loans from hiram king of tyre towards financing the rebuilding of jerusalem including the great temple and the extensive public works throughout the kingdom of israel there was no cost of living indices at that time but the chronicler is clearly descriptive even poetic when he suggests that towards the end of solomon s reign silver was no more es teemed than stones in jerusalem the value of money had fallen sharply and as you remember solomon s successor rehaboam was confronted with the sharp problems of a business crisis and depression so serious that it split the kingdom and precipitated civil war no one added dr james significantly men tions rehaboam as being a popular king finan cial post a wet win pee county has at last repealed the canadian temperance act by a niaonty of 2 597 less than 50 per cent of the voters of that county registered their vote on the question in 1917 the act was upheld by a maonty of 557 news papepheadings following the voting gave the in ference that the vote was a victory for the wets vvhich could scarcely be a correct interpretation the canada temperance act has been an orphan piece of legislation for some years it appears that at one time the dominion act gov erned the administration of the sale of intoxicat ing beverages for many years the provinces have set up lavs governing the sale of liquor it was common knowledge that the provisions of the canada temperance act were difficult to ad minister and were therefore very loosely en forced they conflicted badly vvith the provincial laws and there has been a tendency to scrap the canada temperance act now peel county will come under the same laws as most other counties in the province manitoulin island rconllv voted repeal jlso ot the cta many sections of the county ire si ii under local option and fuither voting will be necessary to clear the w i before peel v i le as wet

municipal world offers some recommendations that seem reasonable in the matter of storo hours and tho classification of various businesses because many merchants aro fhese days selling various linos of m lit tho same store a grocer for example may bo oporating a lunch counter in connection with his business it is frequently n problem for business tax purposes to determine usl what class of business such merchant is carrying on the same problom often arises in connec tion with by laws which require shops of a cer tain class to close on a certain half day or be tween certain hours both of these problems could bo solved if after due enquiry the assessor in assessing such persons was required by a statutory amendment to the assessment act to specify in his business assessment of such persons what class of busi ness is being carried on and whoro more than one class what is the preponderating business if the statute wont on to provide that the class or preponderating class of business for which such person was so assessed as shown on tho last ro- vised assessment roll would bo deemed final and binding for all municipal business tax and closing by law purposes during the year for which the assessment was made then the class of business would be defimjolysettled for business tax and closing bylayv purposes and the present difficulties removed persons so assessed would suffer no injus tice as they would hive a right of appeal against this part of their assessment the same as they have with respect fo other particulars the present situation would be further im proved for business assessment and closing by law purposes if the legislature were to specify by name the classes of business which would be recognized for such purposes royal tour returns the royal tour has
