J. Deachman Reviewing the annual report of one of Canada's leading manu- facturmng corporations, a Toronto daily points out that the wage bill more than doubled since 1939 -"due in part to the increased numbers employed but chiefly to the fact that average hourly earn- ings of employers had risen 42.2 per cent." It goes on to add: "Taxes were more than 30 times what they * were. Yet the company has con- tinued to pay the same dividend." Then follows this statement: "The idea that the excess pro- fits tax would -kill business" was sedulously cultivated at one time, and is still put forward in some quarters as applicable to a con- tinuance of that tax after the war. The fact is that it has no such effect. And it actually encour- ages the payment of better wages and the establishment of better working conditions, in so far as this can be accomplished under the 'wage ceiling regulations... Such a record negatives the dlaim that high taxes, good wages and reasunable profits cannot go hand in hand." This would be rather funny if it weren't tragic. We are asked to believe that multiplying our taxes by 30 will not hurt us- that an increase in wage rates of 42.2 per cent may do us good. It would be interesting to have farm opinion on this topic. Sometimes they see more clearly on the larm than in the city. The assumption is that the only cause of past agonies has been that w~e failed to impose taxes which were suf- ficiently high. Hitler has taught us how-now we are awav to the races with a tenner to put on the first horse to catch our eyes. Still. even in Toronto, which is a good city, an editor might ask hinrself a question before he puts such thoughts on paper. If -we can raise taxes to 30 times their former level, w-hy not 100 times? If an increase of 42.2 per cent in wages is good for the men who pay the wage bills, w-hy not 100 per cent? Let joy be unconfined --once we are free from realities, we can soar to any height, fall as far as we like and neyer get hurt. The Toronto daily is confusing two things. It assumes that we are prosperous because taxation is high. As a matter of fact, the appearance of prosperity comes from heavy spending. We would have a similar situation if the good city of Toronto were de- stroyed by an earthquake or fire -even without the addition of a single milI to the tax rate. There is nothing which a war does which would not be done better by an earthquake-and wîith much less loss of life. But bore is a query for our To ronto friend. The nationalin0-' come is now estimated ai over S8.000,000,000, possibly eve -n S9._ 000,000.000. In peace lime. i n pre-xvar days. it nover reachedi S5.000,000,000. By .wýhat means is il proposed lu' keep it at the higher figure after the war' Can we do it by taxing the people or borrowing from them every year a sum oquivalent. to the amount spent for war pur- poses in the fiscal year '43-about $4,500,000,000? It might be bel-! ter to leave this sum in the pockets of the peuple su that they could do their own spending. Merely squeezing il out of them in peace time and then pouring it back in order to enrich them by the production of commodities they do not want and cannot use, seems more or less, a childish and silly suggestion to come fromn hard headed business men. However, il is interesting to hear that, in 1 the new~ era. labour is tu earn1 twice as much as in 1939, taxes i lu be 30 times as high and with il ail we shall be happier than we ever were befojre. We will if we are driven mad by our trobe and haven't the faintest idea w,ýhat it is ail about. By desirin g what is perfectlvi good . o..w are part of the power against evil, widening the skirts of light and making the; struIg."l with darkness narruwver. -George Eliot Scholars may quote Plate i their studies, but the hearts ufý millions will quote the Bibleat, their daily toil, and draw strengthi from ils inspiration, as the mca- jdo ws draw il from the brook. -Conway! MHE SAME BOAT UNFLEASANT BUT NECESSARY Rudyard Kipling was at his best when immortalizing the col- ourful British private soldier in prose and verse. A staff officer once asked Kipling why he did not do the same for those of high- er military rank. The poet re- plied that il was impossible to be- come lyrical over eing's Rules and Regulations. It is impossible, of course, to become enthusîastic about rules, and, regulations of any sort, for the simple reason that by their very nature they invariably im- pose restrictions upon the free- dom of action of individuals. When anything of the kînd threat- ens British people they write to The Times about it. Which is all to the good in time of peace; but in wartime, particularly in war against the most overbearing would-be conquerers the world bas ever known, we should all think well before complainng about government orders whîch might temporarily deprive us of the right to live our lives in our own chosen way. The various orders that are is- sued from time to lime by the National Selective Service are cases in point. Nobody will con- tend that these orders could pos- sibly be welcomed by anybody. But those in authority have de- cided that tbey are necessary if we are to win this war without too much dislocation of our na- tional life. The object of the most recent order issued by the National Sel- ective Service is ta make avail- able for essential work, men who a r e n o w employed in non- essential occupations. that is, men who are producing things or ren- dering services which, in these 2 difficoît times, xve can readily do without. It is not pleasant to have the tI even tenor of our lives disruptedh but war is no respecter of per-m sons. Tbousands of our youngn men of military age have gone straight from the colleges and joined the armed forces of this country. Thousands of older men have given *lp lucrative jobs in w hich the future seemed so bright in order to play an honourableY e part in putting down oppression. Many of them have already gi-ven their lives. It is flot too much, therefore. to ask that those men 1 SU r now engaged in non-essential oc- cupations and who are not calied to serve in the army, navy or air O S force, report to the nearest Na- tional Selective Service office for other employment which will en- able them to make a very direct contribution to our united war effort. Meekness excludes revenge. ir- ritability. morbid sensitiveness. but not seif-defense, or a quiet and steady maintenance of right. -Theophylact KEEP nONTARIO PROSPEROUS ..Over $7,OOO,OOO iiinussail' to Ontario farmers to=ecorge the production of. pork and cheese. ..In co-operatien with the Federal Government a bonus of 40 per pound is being paid for dlean wool. ..A subsidy of 550 per ton te sugar beet growers. ..A subsidy on Western grains fed in the province.

YOU say, Mr. Evans, that you put about $60 a year int life insurance prenuuims. Perhaps you've wondered sometirnes what becomes ofl your money. There's no secret about it. Here's the story, Mr. Evans. TEassets held by 111e insurance companies in Canada are the common property of yourseli and four million other Canadian men and women. These assets certainly get around. Some of them have built docks in the Maritimes. Some of them have built grain elevators on the prairies. Some of them have gone int highway building on the Pacific Coast. For three years, now, most of them have gone te war. -1OU aise have a share in Victory, Mr. Evans. Your insurance companies have put a large percent- age of your premium dollars iuito Victory Bonds for you. They have just bought 160 million dollars worth of the 4th Victory Loan ... making a total of 600 million dollars invested in these bonds-because they know that you and everybody else in Canada believes that Victory is t.he immediate business of the whole nation. Protection is the people's own business. You, and four million other policyholders are invest- ing in the security that only Victory will bring. We hope you have bought some bonds, toe.
