THURSDAY, AUGUST l6tis, 1934 Premnier Hepburn Advocates Lowering of Municipal Debenture Interest Several times in tise past two years The States- man has commented editorially on tise need for a reductýon in tise interest rate on municipal debent- ures. it is therefore with gratification that we read o! the new Ontario Governmeni's determination to reduce interest rates as announced by Premier Mit- chell Hepburn at Owen Sound last week. The Gov- ermnent will first embark upon a loan conversion and after tisai holders of municipal debentures will be called before tise new Department of Municipal Af! airs, of which Hon. David Cr011 15 Minister, to reacis some agreement for lower interest on their debentures. Thse Department will endeavour to sec- ure a rate of 37, on ail municipal debentures, which would automaticaily be refunded ai this rate. This would mean a tremendous saving annualiy to the municipalities of Ontario; most of wisom are top iseavy with debenture debt. In Bownsmanville for instance, with the payment of debenture principal and interest this year tisere will remain approx- imately $550.000 of debenture debt. This was being reduced at approximately $30,000 per year. Interest rates on Bowmanville debentures run froma 434% on the Hydro debentures to 614'c on the Ross Can debentures. Taking as an average rate 5ý,, tise town pays out approximaiely $30.500 in interesi, in addition to thse debenture principal of $30.000. If the interest rate were reduced to 37,, tise town wouid pay only $17.750 for interest, making a saving of $12.750 annually, or in other womds 6 milis could lopped off tise tax rate. The town would still be paying out tise $30.000 off principal. Taxpayers in general, of ah sisades of political opinion will we]come any move made in this direc- tion. The only opposition likely to develop is among the debenture isolders, who wili naiurally dIaim that tisey purchased these bonds in good faitis at tise stated rate of interest. If however the Department of Municipal Affairs can show these holders that il is beneficial to the country as a whole, and to them- selves aise in securing absolute solvency for tiseir invesiments, even tisis class will probably not 0f fer mucis opposition to tise move. Chain Stores In Relation To Community Life In the vemy rpmarkable interview with Henry Ford, publisised in The Financial Post recently, one state- ment stood out. Mr. Ford said: 'Tise basis of happy national life is the commun- ity. Our industrial and merchandising leaders will have to recognize tisat. Tise commullity, especially the smaller community, is the place wisere the city and the countryside, the factory and the farm, meet and at that meeting place we shalh find security in thse future." The unsoived social enigma of cisain store merý- chandising is this: rowis thie cisain store to m.cer itself a part of each o! tise local commrunties in which it operates? They must do tiseir part to build up Ibrai commun- il h s because the economic and soc ai welfare of the nation depends on tise maintenance of healthy cons- munities tisougisout tihe land. And f romn a self isi stsandpoint the cisain stores nmust find a v ay te participate more usefully i cansmunity lîfe because they cannot continue to be regarded as foreigners or invaders and at tise same time retain thse goodwilb of tise local citizen.ry. Tise chain stores are f uly aware of the problemn. They are thinking hard on ways to solve it. Many experiments will be tried by them in tise next few years. Tise remedy may be found in giving the local man- agers larger autisority to buy supplies in tise ccm- MUnities wisere they sell, te, contribute tise local charîties and other funds, to participate in com- nsunity affairs generally. But h vii require a dif- ferent type of manager to do the jrob sucressfully. The murs disrussed $25-a-week manager of a chain store rannot be expected to be a com.munity leader. This suggests trie possibiiity 0f local branches of cisains beroming partnerships, in whicis both thse lseadquarters organization and the local manager are financially interested. Thse experts at headcuarters will dirtate merchandising policie.; tise local man- ager %vill run tise store'and be part of iis rommunlty. Wisatever the formula tisat is devised tise trend is awvay from consplete centralization of ownership and management. Significant Gesture to Former Enemy On Wednesday o! lasi week, tise Union Jack on tise Post Office fiew ai isaîf masi. Ih wa a gesture of tise Canadian Goverîsment t0 honor Field Marshall Vois Hindenburg, President o! Germany, who was being isuricd by a sorrus ing nation on tisat day. Tise most strikîng feature 0f tise isonor so accorded is tise fart tisat Hindenburg wastise foremnosi gen- eral in tise great German Armny in tise Warld Wam. No greater batties were fought tisan tisose between tise Germais and Canadian Divisýons, and yet in 1934, 20 years after tise ouI break of war, Canada turns ta isonor one visa was once its foremiosi enemy. Wisen enemny nations unite in honoriîsg one of tise great generals of tise war, tiscie must still be isope tisai a asting peace is poýsibl1. Tise rank and file ef tise people today realîze tisat it was flot tise Ger- man soldiers, not thse Canadian soldiers, or tiseir generals, wiso mer-e respoîssîbie for tisevar. Eacis was doing his duty to isis counstry in a time of need. it is to be isoped that as anc nation isonors tise heroes of aisotiser, tise tisousands 0f isuman sacrifices made durhng tise war will be seen as a usciess and dlsgraceful siaughter of innocent victims af big men's quarreis. This realization will do mucis ta prevent a repetithon of thse terrible isuman siaugister a! tise pasi. Now twenty years after tisousands are sui sufferhng, and thousands wiso sisauid now be in tise prime of, their lives are old men, mnany o! tisem dy- hng a sow deatis as a resuit of tise iorrers tisrougis whlch they pasad ila those awful years. It Is thse duty of ail who have lived to see tis terrible catast- rophe to, work in thse interests of a lasting world peace. --4-- Business Conditions Better You hear the occasional man on the street who is stili grouching about business. You see hlm dlown in thse mouth and complaining about everything gen- erally. He is flot getting his sisare of the business. He tells you the people are flot buying and gives a long story that takes up your time and his also, to no purpose. He is the man who can talk by thse hour and wonders why he is flot getting the business. He will tell you ail thse faults of thse govenments of the day and the civic authorities. He will tell you how ail should run their aff airs. You look int.o his store or business and what do you find? Nothing but bankruptcy staring hlm in thse face. You know tise mnan and you have stepped across thse road to avoid him. On the other isand you know that there is business to be isad. Those wiso are keen and out for business are getting it. It does not corne easy but it is com- ing. One great indication is the C.N.R. Railway. Thcy are said to be an out of date proposition. Yet by magnificent handlinà this great national owned railway is turning the corner. Tisey have turned a deficit into a seven million operating increase over last year and show nearly four million profit on operating expenses over tise three million deficit on operating for the same period over the first seven months of the year. They have made the change by going out to get the business. By advertising and presenting their case they have won the fight and will go on to greater aciievements before thse year ends. This is the effect of sound, practical business administration. If tise same is put intc> effect by the local mercisants or manufacturers tisere will be more business. You must go out and get it. Do not sit in tise office or shop f inding f ault. Sit down and figure out tise reason wisy. The Anxious Graduate Tise rolleges and universities of Canada and tise United States have recently turned out thousands 0f graduates. Al of tisem will be confmonted by a world in which business isas been sadly dislocated, and no daubt most 0f them face this situation in anxiety and perplexity. By itseif a diploma no longer means whati h once did. At aIl events, it does not mean tisai positions and opportunities await thse graduate. His chances 0f finding an opening in tise professions o! ccunting houses o! tise country depend mucis more cn iimself than on tise parcismeni he has won at tise end of his college years. One sisrewd observer isas sized up an aspect o! tise situation in tisese words: "It seems te me that there is a tendency for scisools to turn out 'educated pegs' without special reference ta size or shape, and let tise peg' trust to luck te find a suitable 'isole' to fit in and live in" Tisai may be true, and yet tise sciscols are not whclly to blame. They cannot change conditions. nor can anybzody. Mucis less can tisey alter personality. In this situation extra-collegiate organizations are springing up. especially in tise United States, for tise specîfic purpose of helping graduates te find a career. its officers and agents are at ahl times alertly on watch for opportunities. Tiseir cisief dif- ficulty. isowevem, is -in being unabie to appraise tise fitness of every individual graduate for a particular position. Emerging from tise atmosphere 0f tise classroom, tise latter isas not found himiself. He isas been tutored and polisised; yet tise quaities whicis make for suýcess in any vocation are lying largely inrisoate witisin hlm. Only practical tests will re- veal wvhat he has in iim, and isow far education has drawn out iis personality. This is not meant to be discouraging. altisougis it would be folly ta, ignore tise plain trutis. An educa- tien is in the last degree desirable; yet Young men sisouid realize tisai it rannot be any more tisan a nseans to an end. This end is to express personaiity. AIl the scisooling in tise world could not possibly create personality. Tise best it can do is ta bring it out-Braniford Expositer. Editorial Notes Tise Lisîowel Banner says tisai if tise conditions isicis existed in tisai toivni on tise opening day 0f beer sale by tise glass, continues from week to week, tise public will becorne 50 disgusted with tise busi- ness tisaitisey will rise in protest against sucis a law and banis h from tise country." Fellowsip is a gaod deal like love-making. It is sometising in wiich actions speak louder tisan wards. We can practîce it effectively witisout saying mucis about il, but it is wortiswhile, occasionally, ta ex- press in words tise ideals we seek ta realize.
