THTJRSDAY, MARCH 28tb, 1935 Hawkers and Peddlers a Real Menace The Retail Mrchants Association of Ontario bas presentad ta the Ontario Government a suggested bill ta replace the present legislation gaveruing bawk- ers and peddlers. Local marchants bere and aIse- wbeî-a tbroughout the province have becoma swindled out of millions of dollars by this unfair door ta doar cmptition by sale-men who pay no taxes ta, the town in wicb they do business. Wbile the upkeep of streets, sidaw-alks, ligbting, public institutions, etc-., must ha largeiy contributed ta by the home town marchants who are forced ta psy a substantial busi- ness tax forî the privilege of doing business on Main Street, besides the ragular tax levies whicb ordinary mortals pay. It is ta be hoped that the Govarnmant will take steps ta bave this act amended, or replaced by tbe more effective act now in vague in Saskatchewan and wich was presented ta the goverument at that time. The peddler pest is driving legitimate merch- ants out of business resulting lu an ever increasing number 0f vacant stores and unempioyed clerks in ever3- comniunity. Tbus the private citizen avent- ually is forcad ta make up this lotes by paying more taxes. Apart tram the tact that the doar ta door sales- man is a ganerai nuisance ta the bousewife, ha is. as w-a bave paiutad aut. a cause of considerable los ta the local mrchants who as a group cantribute aj very large share of the taxes.

New Paper Blossoms Forth in Port Hope Born, lu Port H--ope an Tbursday, Marcb l4th, On- tarios uewest weekly newspaper, "The Port Hope News." This in itself is news because the vital sta- tistics of thbe nawspaper world in recent years have been overwheimingly featured by newspapers dying, some natural and others uuexpected demises, whilc others cambined in tbe marriage ceremony of amal- gamations. The News proved te be a real "news" paper in its first issue, and from aur acquaintance with Mr. Thos. L. Wilson, its energetic and popular manager, w-e know it will maiutain tbe bigh stand- ard set in its initial number. The Times Publisbing Co.

The urban areas at one time seemed te bave the monopoly on good speakers, goad debaters and good actors, but the rural areas are now making an equal contribution ta thesa arts. Iu most Dcrminian-wide contasts lu public speaking or acting the rural re- presentatives hold their awn against the hast the big cities are able ta produce, aud for that reasan. if for no othar. dramatics sbould ha encouraged. In Bowmauville last week a smal dramatic contest was staged, and tbis week a minstrel show is featured.
