Each year an estimated 1,200 f arm people are killed, and over 100,000 are injured in accidents. There is a twist of tragic irony lu the fact that so many Canadians lose their lives providing the food without which the country could not live. To make the picture more grixu the Ontario Sa! ety League points out that the majority of these deatha are somebody's fault-and could be prevented. The main cause of these accidents is human failure.-ignor- once and carelessness. .Safety organizations across the coun- try are trying to stop accidents on the farm. For lhe second year Canada wil join the United States in observlng Farin Safety Week, which has been proclaimed fQ uly 19-25. President Eisenhower and Prime Minister Diefenbaker have pub- hidy endorsed the programme. Every fariner should lend bis support, School Tax Neyer has It been more obvious to ritepayers in thïg district, that a new 3stem of taxation must be evolved ta support schools, states Henry Wightman in the Napanee Post-Express. There is a vital responsibility on provincial and federal governments ta take a dloser look at the taxation against property owners for support o! the primary and secondary school system. .We noted the tax bill of a district fariner last week on which taxes for school constituted more than $200 or almost one- he f is total taxes. .It is granted that education is about the best investment we cari make for the future of tis district and the country, but ilt i becoming more obviaus ail the time that this load is being borne by much too small a proportion of the popu- lation. Ironically, a man's holdings and therefore bis property taxes are usually higher later lu life when his children are past the age for education. Il is afler his children have gone through schooi that a man begina ta ;ssemble enough money ta own property. Thevef are the greal share o! bis school tax money is spent on something which is not likely ta benefit either himself or bis children. If, however, the money ta, operate too. As individuals, rural residenta can help in the battie againat farin accidenta by making regular inspections of thelr homes, buildings, fields, mach inery and equipment. A littie repair and extra care is most of what it takes to bring safety home to the farin. As groups, farinera can work for safety, too. Rural organizations shouid rnake accident prevention a part of their activlty. Many farmn groupa are planning speclal programmes during Farin Safety Week, and a number of rural ministers will mention the special week at church next Sunday. This week will be a good opportunity for rural residents to take a few new les-. sons in safety-and then practice them ail year. The theme of this year's Farm Safety week ia "Safety Makes Sense". Sa! ety does make sense. It could save your 111e. Pro blem schools were to corne froin provincial or federal goverriments, it is likely that the toad would be more fairly distributed. Just as goverrnents were forced to recognize the need for incarne tax, s0 it is becoming obvious that only a short time remains until a new system of raising money for achool purposes must be evolv- ed.A provincial sales tax would provide an answer to the problem. By such means, the large units of the consuming public would pay a fair share towards education. The present system takes too great a share of tax money from the very people who cannot possibly benefit direct- ly fromi is use. Observations and Opinions A minister, returning home laIe one night froin a sick cail, noticed one of bis parishioneraslaggering down the streel. "Let me help you ta the door," said tb. minister, guiding the inebFiated mêm- ber of bis flock gently home. .At the door the besotted marn pleaded with the minister ta came int the bouse witbhum. But the minister demurred on the grounds that it was too late. "Pleash, Rev'ren," the mari beseech- ed hum. "Jusht for a minute. I want the wife ta see who I been out with tonight." A MacDuff Ottawa Report MP's Play> Musical Chairs ermnent and parliament to solve, there ii always a danger of forgetting about th( eld basic problerns of parliamentar. alemocracy. One of the most vital of these is faij *presentations of the people in Parlia ment. We have ail read in history book- at school about the l9th century "rotter. boroughs" in Britain, where a handful ol votera could easily be organized into send. kng the choice of the ruling class to tlii House of Commons. We have read, toc about the fight for responsible govern ment in Canada and the carnpaigns f oi «Rep by Pop", representation by popula. tion. Then there was the fight to give women the vote until finally, in Canada. there was universal suffrage for the elec. tion of 1921; that is, ail those over 21 car vote, with a few exceptions like convict: and the insane. Despite ail these advances, the batte etili goes on. Probably it always will, for parliamentary democracy neyer seemq. to run out of ways of refining and improv- kng itself. The main reform sought over the past quarter century or so has been a fairer rnethod of "redistribution". The voters of the country are "distributed" among constituencies, each of which electsa Member of Parliament to the House of Commons. Naturally, as the population grows and shifts, the number of voters in some constituencies becomes much great- er than that in others; that is, parts of the population are getting much less repre. sentation than other parts. Thus. under the British North America Act of 1867, il was provided that a redistribution should take place after each l-year census in order to redraf t the political map where necessary. The trouble with the present method, which the reformers seek to change, is that it is carried out ini a few weeks by a committee of the House of Commons.

If one ýr province is ta las. one or two seats because t-ils population bas gone down in relation :s la that of lb. rest of the country, Ihen the n abject is ta redisîribute so that -au op- f position member, rather than a govern- 1- men member, loses in Ibis gaine o! musical e chairs.

Diefenbaker said ofbth systein: "The only reason we would nwant ta retairi it would be the political Sadvantage o! tue party wilh the maj ority at the lime." No wonder Finance Minister Fleming said aI tb. saine lime: "It us no longer s entiîled loa ary respect on tbe part o! the -public or of Ibis House". No wonder Agriculture. Minister Hark- ness said: "I think the present systein can r only be described as a mess." f With statemerits like Ibese on lhe 9record, Ihere was good reason ta hope e thal when the Conservatives came ta fpower lhey would seek la implement the refonin they suggested in Opposition. This would set up an independent commission or cammitlee ta tackle the lechuical job o! political mapmaking. The Commons, possibly with tbe aid of special study by ils redisînibulion commitlee would lay tdown the broad principles o! representa- lion, such as assuring that rural and sparsely setlled areas and lb. smaller provinces gel adequate representation despite low population. These principles would be the "ternis o! reference" under wbich 1h. independeul commission would rccommend changes for final approval by the House o! Commous. Systeins like Ibis bave been adopîed in Britain, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and aur own province and Mani- loba. But the Conservatives, now thal lbey are in power lu Ottawa, seem la be shying away froin the reforni they once advocated. In a recerit debate on the aubject, Tory MP's suggesled Ihat politica] morality had now reached sucli a bigli level that lbe redistribution committee would no longer engage lu th. aid political honse-lrading. They suggested, too, that il would be dangerous ta delegate any more a! the Commons' authority ta ouI- side ageucies. There was no recognition of lhe fact that since 1867 Canada bas grown froin 3,500,000 ta more than 17,000,000 and that redistribution bas become a much bigger task. There was no recognition that now we have a census eacb five years we migbt have redistribution mare allen, so Ibat suburban ridings like Toronto's York- Scarborougli would b. divided a! 1er a growtb froin 104,297 ta 167,310 betwecn the oensus o! 1951 and that o! 1956. In short, il looks as if lb. new government, 1ke tb. old, is planning ta stand pal, ta let the country grow and change withouî reforming ils parliamentary institutions. 25 YEARS AGO July 26, 1934 Congratulations ta Miss Mar- jorne Robins, who has obtained lier Interim Higli Sehool As- sistarits Certificate, and to Miss Novelda Berry wbo lias obtain- ed the Libranian's course.

Harris Io Il truc, as spokesmen for mnany farm, arganizations cdaim, that sijice the war the incarne of every other working Cama- dian hias chimbed a great dcal faster than the farmer's? Cer- tainly the figures ou total cash incarne o! farmers seem ta sup- port the cdaim, In 1946 farin cash incarne was $1,743,000,000. It reached $2,850,000,000 in 1952. Last year, aI $2,808,000,- 000, it was stili below that a&l- tiine higli. Truc, Ihat la a subslantial In- crease Ilirougli the twelve years. But Il does not appear to compare very favourably with. say. the pay cheque of the average' factory worker, whose earnirlgs slightiy more than doubled in the 1946-58 period -from $32 a week to $66 a week. It is on the basis of such comparisons that farm groups ask for federal governiment s.ubsidies, price supports and Sa on, ta give them a "fair share" of the increase in the national income. But appearances can be de- ceiving, for there is another factor that must be taken into account in the farm picture: the nurn'ber of people who share farm icorne. That number has been decllning. In June of 1946, a month that is close to the an- nual average for farrn employ. ment, there were 1,271,000 Can- adians with jobs in agriculture. In 1952 the total was dow'n t 927,000, and in 1958 It was dûwn again to 740,000. When farm cash income is related to the number of peo- pie working the farrns, the farm income picture is quite ddffer- ent. On tilbs per capita basis the workers in agriculture shar- ed farrn cash incarne at an average of $1,371 in 1946. $3,- 074 in 1952, and $3,794 in 1958. Whether the farmer receives, or ever has received a return commensurate ta the capital and labour heie nvests is a ques- tion, but there seems no ground for the claim that the past-war increase in incomes of Cana- dians lias left hlm behixid. 1 ltngered, but tliey jet me! 1 mean the Bowmanville eon- stabulary. On July 11th, I pushed a dimie in one of those-iran ban- bits at 10:45 a.m., which gave ene protection until 12:45 p.m. when I buned a nickel from my frau, and shoved it into the beast's rapaciaus maw, knowing that the oid Austin could relax until 1:45 p.m. Sô who cornes along precisely at 1:45 p.m.? Just one of Bow- manville's blue shlrted finest, and what does h. do? Juat sticks a peremptory littie old note under the wlndahleld wl- per, advislng the persan ini charge of said Austin, bearing licence number A-37909, to dlv- vy up a dollar or receive a sum- mono to appear In court. Now, there'al only one sen- sible thing te do in a situation like that-grind your teeth, swear you won't pay. consign all cops te a hotter place than Canada (under your breath), march rlght up ta the local bas- tille, and cough up the buck with an air of meekness and indifference. Serves me riglit, In a way. because I was golng te put a dime into the oid 1"grab It,"1 but didn't want my wife to see me spend so much money al at once, so pretended ta be broke, wvhereupon, she gave me the nickel and watched that I placed it Into the parking me- ter, Instead of spending It riot- ously: By trying to save a nickel, 1 lest ninety-five cents, which proves that crime does not pay. When I ankled into the po- key, I offered the smiling gen- darme a five dollar bill, in the hope that he would have noi available change, and would tear Up the ticket, with an ad- monition ta go and sin no more. But the fates were "again" me-he seemned ta falrly bursti with joy as lie dug up four dol-j lars' change, and receipted the1 'billy-doo".1 Wouldn't it be a rare lark to In the Editor's Mail P. 0.
