packstwo the acton free press acton ontario thursday march 20th 19sz decision theres astory told of a farmer who engaged a new hired mart and the first day put him wheel ing manure ho was quite surprised when he came to him in the early afctrnoon and asked for another task to fill up what the employer con sidered a big days work same thing happened tbp following day and tho farmer was indeed pleased with his new man on the third day in appreciation ho gave him a less arduous task of sorting potatoes with tho instructions to put tho bad ones in ono pile tho small ones in anothor pile and a third pile of marketable potatoos within an hour tho hircdjnan camotojiim and flatly said ho was quitting surprised tho farmer askod him why and he is reported to have replied i don t mind tho heavy obs but its those decisions that i cant stand decisions are bothersome somotimes wo feel like quitting too because ovory mail brings us such a flood of material for our columns that the decisions all week are often hard it s not hard to eliminate the bad ones such as free publicity from motor car manufacturers makers of cans propo- ganda for many manufactured articles and items intended to influence governments it would sur prise you to soo tho big outfits who want pub licity for nothing we have only one pile for that which is in the wastepapcr basket but its the other piles that bother us the material with local appeal and for which wo would like to find a place many times we pass it on for publication only to find that when press time comes there is no room for if and it has to be carried over to the next week or two the average reader may say why not put in more pages that is often done but in these days of high production costs there must be a proper balance between advertising and revenue and reader items post office regulations provide that all pages of a newspaper must be of uniform size so that its not possible to make a sheet ust large enough to take the surpus material and its mech anically not practical to run such small sections so we have to make decisions and like the hired man we sometimes feel that the decisions are the most difficult part of the editors task most folks realize this and our readers are very considerate but just in case you may sometimes wonder when an item it left out or reduced in size we tell you of our problems wont encourage tourists writing to a friend in toronto the other day a former canadian who had spent a holiday in this country complained that our prices were getting too high he cited several lines of merchandise that could have been purchased at much lower levels in the united states this is not an isolated case declares the finan tal post which says business alone however cannot solve this problem in a great many cases even if merchants shaved profits to the bono their prices would still be much above the level in the united states the reason is taxation on a great many commodities our taxes are very much higher than in the u s tobacco products camera supplies sporting goods gasoline so called luxury items are ex emples moreover these are the very things that bulk so largely in holiday spending when a person visits another country he ex pects to find conditions different from those he has at home from a tourist standpoint at least b would be making a big mistake to attempt to turn canada into an imitation of the united states but there is alwaysan exception to any general rule and higher costs come very definitely in that category our crippled children an aspect of democracy that sets it apart from other forms of society s voluntary co operation of its citizens all around us almost every day we see examples organizations of groups for various reasons oined

insurance taxes are the sinews of the state said cicero with taxes and mill rates fresh in peoples minds it might be wise to point out that taxes when paid to the municipality are not lost think of them as we seldom if ever do as the premium on an almost all inclusive insurance policy the tax bill is the bill for a premium on an insurance policy that provides you with fire pro tection police protection old age accommodation federal taxes represent insurance against war in ourown land against unemployment against crime against poverty stricken old age and against the growth of unpleasant ideologies it all depends how you look at a thing and probably if we all tried to look at the brighter side even when it comes to taxation things would brighten up we refer to them as nuisances as contributing to the staggering cost of living today as plain robbery or even in stronger terms north e ast west s outh editorial notes spring is due to arrive tomorrow but we hope housewives will not take it too seriously and start the spring cleaning it s almost spring housecleaning time and rather than throw away things that might be his toncally valuable please bring them to our office for safe
