4The Canadian Statosmran, Dowmanville, Mar. 7, 1973 EDITORIAL COMMENT 119 Years Is a Long Time Back in 1854 when The Canadian Statesmnan was launched, it miust have been a real achievement every week to pick that type out of the cases by hand, one letter at a time, assemble it in what is known as a composing stick and ýafter many painstaking hours, see it corne off the slow handfed press as a printed page. That was 119 years ago, a long time by anyone's standards. There have been many changes since, among 'them the introduction of the Linotype that speed- ed up typesetting- operations tremen- dously. Later, camne the comparatively cheap engravings by electronie machin- es that have enabled us to use manv more photos than in those earlier years, when they cost a great dea]. of money. We're now in the process of taking another step that eventually will elin1- ipate the Linotypes, replacing themx with photo-typesetting machines, costly gadgets that will triple production and result in better reproduction, along with the elimnination of the hot rnetal r0W in uise. So, progress continues at a rapid pace as we do our best to keep abreast of the many developments to provide readers with clearer, most inte-restingî newspapers that will be welcomed in homes in this area. We're happy to say that wehen the new machines are in- stalled and operating, your local news- paper wlbe one of the most up-to-date in the country. We are doing our best to menit the support of readers and advertisers in tlhis area and feel certain they wili be' as happy with the im- proveinents as we are. As every businessman knows,' the hig,h a7nd rising costs of overhead are one of the major wrorries involved in doing. business and staying competitive. "Overhead"' in this sense covers those expenses other thait direct labour and material costs, e.g. rcent, insurance, light, heat, telephione, repairs and, of coiurse, taxes of various kinds. These are ail Jitems which every Canadian concerned with keeping his or her own head above water weill recors- nize quickly enough. Bujt t the busi- nessmnan they are only a small part of, the story. Much of his overhead is HIDDEN, representing costs littie real- ized by tlhe vast majority of Canadians. So-called "fi-ringe benefits" paid to or on behaîf of employees over and above basic wages or salary are one example. According to the publication "In- dustry"', the most recent calculation ofe these shows that they now a1verage nearly $2.500 per -year per employee, or almost $50 a week! Their payroill cot to mainufacturers rose by a starthln 30 per cent betwveen 1969 andt 1972. Some of these leýngtheninýg frîngses, such as vacatiorn pay and stat'uto,-ry holidays, are required by law, but Most are not. They are a vivid remninder of the real magnitude of labor costs in Canada to- b, a The Organization for Economiic Cooperation and Devclopmnent (OECD) reports that in recent months the rate ai inflation in Europe bas doubled 'ta an annual figure ai 10 per cent. This is the fastest inflation rate Europe bas seen since tbe height of the Korean wý,ar mare than two decades ago. The ýrate of inflation in each Euro- pean member country ai OECD was faster than that in Canada. And yet there are dangers for Canada, as we bave important economic and trade ties witb Europe. Indeed, at a recent con- i erence of econamnics, Prafessor John Kenneth Galbraith said that be> at least believes wage and price controls are- inevitabie for Canada. Wby sucb drastic mneasures? Here is anc answer: Many gavernmnents, cm- ployers and unionsgrdly are co- ingY ta the conclusion tat inflation benefits nolbody. Those who seek bligh- er salaries know their wagc,,s generally cannot kcep pace with isingpic. Governiments that give their civil serv- anlts automnatic anniual increases, 'tied ta thecota-iigidx also contribute ta inflation - but also seeni to be caugt ini the viciaus circle ai wages cbasing pnices. Manu-facturers, in trying ta gYive thecir sharei' olders high;Ier divi- dends, contribute ta the dilemima by constanitly raising the pnices Of their products. Althougb tLhey know that accusing fingers are being pointcd at tbem, par- ticularly by housewives and irustrated wage-earnens, politicai, business and union leaders so far bave been unable to iind acceptable salutions ta the wag- es-prices spiral, and therefore ta infla- tion in general. One answer being tnied is the sa- called "freeze". In many Communist countrieýs, for instance, bath pnices and -wage rccrfuly controlled by the state, and bave been for years. Presi- dent Richard Nixon cstablisbed pay and pnice boards in the United States which impased contrais in 1971, and his admninistration is now tnying what Mn. Nixon calîs "voluntary coaperation". Prime Minister Edward Heath is plan- nin permanent contrais for Bnitain in the hope of halting rampant inflation there. Canada shouid look at ahi these miensures carefuilly. The CaniiadianQ Gov- enrment and people should guard gantinflation becaujse it creates ecanomnically uinsound conditions. What is mare, wýen -inflation hits, pensioners and others on iixed incomes sifer seriaus lasses. Moncy hases much of its value, and the conspicuious cansumptian that's already~ a curse ai Western soc- iety grows worse. Theý restrainits that h.ave been tried in the United Sta-)tes, Mr. Heath's cur- rent pay freeze, and vaniauis mensures in force In somre Eunopean countnies have neyer been papular in frec enter- prise socictiles, and yet these mnay be a means of keeping inflation in check ini Canada. Su nday Should be. the Pause That Refreshes In 1906 federal legisiation mnade At ciminal ta work on Suanday. It was an attempt in an admnittedly Christian country ta, supprcss àlmost aIl Sunday activities ex cept chunch-going. In today's plurafistic saciety neither those who abserve non those wbo make the laws would wish ta interpret thcm sa nannawly. Much af today's secullar socicty has lowered the emphasis on chuircb-going but a large percentage ai that same secular sacicty would favor a1 commn day ai rest and recreation for ahi. Despite this, observance af thne Lord's Day Act bas been nibbled at from ahl sides. You can shap for grocer-1 les, sec a mavie, bet an a hanse, on ride a ferris wbeel on the Sabbath. The con- cern ai those who would continue ta en-' force the Lord's Day act is nat for thosei -hbo participate in these activ,,ities, but- for those wba must wonk on Sunday in onder ta kecp the stores, theatres, and ainusernents open. MVost ai the activity is not neces- sarily unsuitabie -- perhaps the family whene bath -parents work need that Sunmday aiternoan tnip ta the suprerman- ket andk perhaps it is a real family event ta shop together. But wbat ai the cash- îcr, the meat cutter, the man wbo filis the sheives - their families are denied their cempany. The fact that they dardt work an Mondays doesn't compensate. Dy Manday the rest af the family is back at school or work. While no0 one wouid dcny that cer- tain vital services nmust be carricd on aven Sunday, the increasing de-empha- sis of Sunday as a day ai rest ion as many as possible is a crceping blight whose growth we should stop. There is a need for a uniform weekly pause. dayi and of how fast they have riseni. Much other hidden' overhead not related to such benefits is very defin- itely the direct product of a broad and growing range of fedieral, provincial and local laws and regulations. The administrative costs of calculat- ing and remitting incomne taxes on bLe- haîf of both the company and employ- ees; payment of sales taxces; comrple- tion of customns documentation and un- emnployment separation certificates; compliance with new environmental standards and rnew postal,. codes: these are buit a few of them. The paper work theyý entail and the mind-bo ggl*ing com-plexity of the documents required is epitomized by thie new incarne tax formas. As with ALL overhecad, the cost of this hiddlen kind is refleecd in the price of everyvthing we make ai-d sell. The larger price is the one we pay in cost productivity and lost business. Tti a price which Canadian indus- try, under severe competitive pressure at homne and abroad(, can ill afford to hiave go any higher. Thýe energ,,ie's of our 1lgisiators, fed- eral and provincial, could not be better emplo-yed than in finding ways ond meanis of reducing it. Our future living standards could well depend upon themn doing so. <By Bill Sntiley in 1967> I don't kno-w whetbier it's the wea- ther, but certain species proliferate iii this country wi'th the rapidity of rab- bits. One is the chairman of committees. There's anc for every snowbank i.1 the nation. Another is' the gr'uest speaker. There's one at the bottant of every barrel. And an&{the7 is the carnvasser. In some smaller communities, there are more canvassers than non-canvassers. A canivasser is a weak-willed. persan who can be talked jinto asking people for money for a "Goo-d Cause", or even more popularly, a "Worthy Cause." The rumber af Worthy Causes in this coun- try is only exceeded by the number o! baekboneless birds of bath sexes who allow themnseives to be put on the list of canvassers. And I know whereaf I speak. In xny day I have canvassed[ for the blind, the rctarded, the rcsort owý,.ners, the Red Cross, the Salvation Arnmy and.eleven- teen other Worthy Caus,-es. About the only thing 1 haven't donc is sdil cookies for the Girl Guides. And I've hatcd every minute of it. The trouble is that the average Cana- dian citizen heartily detests the band- ing aven of cash for an intangible. At heant he's a generous soul. H1e knows the Red Cross does good wark,' that something should be donc for the blind and thiat we need a school for retandcd children. But he can't cat them-, smoke tbem, drink themn, or even attach thern totais car. Therefore, tbe fellow who will fling down a ten in the liquor store as tbougb he grew the letttice, will douriy, head shaking, peel off a couple -af thin pne-spots for the Sally Ann. The bouse- wife, who buys Fier weeds by the carton, will spend 20 minutes laoking for two quarters for the Cancer Society. And 1 know just how they'feel. I'm the same. Somne day, somebody is going ta rap at my door for a Bad Cause; -afree crack a day for alcohiolics; a ciinic for potentiai pool players; a home for un- wcd fathaers. And I'm going ta bhand aven $20 cash w,ýithout quivering an eyelid. This preamble, as you hav-,e prob- ably gathered, is beçause I got suckercd jHuman Brotherhood (by (late> Lester B.

TO HANG, OR NOT TO HANG There bas been a good deal of un- fair pressure placed on federal M.P.'s in in the past montbs, aven the question ai capital punishment. Acrass the couantnY, the mnood seemns ta be that capital punishmnent should be neinstated, and many M.P.'s who might bave voted agsainst it, on the, grounds ai conscience or principle, are having thieir arms twvisted pretty bard by their constituents. This, despite the fact that it was ta hb' a "free" vote, with party lines waived. It makes it taugyh toenails for the M.P. who is hanging onto bis seat by his fingiernails. It would be a gaood time f'or same- anc, ta define the raIe ai a Member ai Parliament, Is he or sbe merely a delegate ta ca-rry ta Ottawa the wishcs a,' wbat migbft wei be a minonity of the voters in bis iding? Or is he or she a representative ai that riding, with first the good ai the country at beant and second, the good of bis riding? If the M.P. is meneiy a delegate, why pay somneone $18,000 a ycar? 'Why not just send a papen-boy or a pensioner ta Ottawa with the wishes of the ridin'g? But if the M.P. is ta be a representa- tive, he sbould be 1given freedom ta make bis own décisions, cspecially w,,hen it is a matter ai pninciple.
