Everybody will ulti. {mately be helped. The farmer, the [transportation company, the factor- {les converting materials into market. {ude form, the wholesaler, broker, {fobber, retaller and the purchasers {for consumption will all be betier {off when business generally is an a cash baals. The cash and carry idea was a wedge which broke the abruptness of the radical change from "on time" and "monthly statements" to cash down and the goods in hand. The delivery forces found other employ- ment. The bookkeepers and bill col- {lectors, released from slavery and drudgery, will easily find employ- ment that will be far more to their 3 king when the cash basis is the rule instead of the exception. And pverybody will be in better financial AN AMERICAN BLUNDER. A blunder---to put it miMly---was committed by Representative Ten Eyck, of New York, in introducing in congress a resolution requesting President Harding to try to pur chase a large and veluable part of this country. The president was asked "to use his best endeavors to have payments due the United States on the British debt credited on the purchase price of the terri. tory, so required." The motion is a blunder, as we stated, because there js not the re- motest ohance of the United Sates getting possession of the territory desired in the manner prescribed, and because the mere suggestion of it 'gives offénce not only te us but | to the mother country as well, Mr, Ten Eyck would make the St. Lawrenge River the boundary be- tween the United States and Canada. That is, he would make an attémpt to buy all of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and a considerable part of the richest and most populous land in Quebec. Every Canadian, from Halifax to Vancouver, will raise a roar of angry protest if there were the slightest likelihood of our being called upon to relin- quish the territory in question, or any part of it. The people living in the maritime provinces wowld no more consent to anmexation to the United States than the people of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont would consent to annexation to Cans ada, Since this is so, it 4s the op« posite of good statesmanghip to ir- ritate us by making th. suggestion. A SPURCE OF REVENUE, The biggest problem which faces Oaneda to-day 4s not the railway problem, great as that may be. The matter whieh reéfiives more study than any other is that of extending trade and commerce so as to bring more money in the country, and thus help to meet the great load of debt which bears heavily wpon the nation. The problems of securing revenue, and increasing the prosper. ity of the dominion, ave ahead of all others in importance, for if they are solved that will' subomatically assist in solvinlg the problems of the rail. ways and the problems of finance, It is apparent to the most casual student of economies thet this coun try must have more money spent within {ts borders. This can only come from twe sources, from ex: ports to other nmbions and from the purchases of our own people, and the extent of the latter depends Wrgely upon the extension of the 3 r, There are those who talk globly of extending the export trade of divert them northwards instead of eastward across the Atlantic. ™ A Mttle missionary work in this line has been done by the raflway com- panies, but #f this were done by the government on a large scale it would produce worth-while results. * The {growth in the number and efficiency of eutomobiles has made cross-con~ tinent tnips easy to arrange, and Pleasant to undertake, and with a proper campaign of publcity, ad- vertising to the travellers of the Uni- ted States the great attractions which Canada offers to the tourists, millions of them would do their globetrotting in this country in- stead of going to Europe, United States tourists used to go to Switzerland to visit the Alps, but Canada has & dozen Alps rolled into one in the Rocky Mountains. Every desire of the tourist, the pleasure. seeker or the hunter can be gratified in this country, and every ome who comes will mean an addition to the money spent in phis country and to the purchasing power of its people. Another point to remember fs that when a tourist spends a dollar in viewing the magnificent scenery of the country, he takes away with him simply the memory of what he saw. He does not take away ninety cents worth of Canadian goods, as is the case when money.comes in to buy manufactured articles, Both the money and the scenery remain here, and the tourist will add to the rail- way traffic, stimulate industry by putting millions of dollars into oir- culation, end that js what Canada nesds at once, Publicity alome will accompligh this, and it is a plan which can with confidence be recommended as one whiich will help to solve the finan. cial and other problems of the coun- try. Walt Mason 4 THE POET PHILOSOPHER THE TAX GROUCH, My income tax has now been paid, and wien I dug the money, I said, "This life's a thing of shade, that once was fair and sunny, The way they cinch an old fat band is some- thing fierce and bitter; there is no eange in working hard--far better be a quitter. The burdens turiry men endure call out for language ranty; true wisdom Hes in being poor, and living in a shanty" A beggar stop- ped me in my tracks; in my kind heart he trusted; I said, "I've paid my income tax, and, Hke yourgel, I'm busted." The pastor asked me for a bone to help to paint the steeple; I sald, "My taxes makes me groan, 1 walk with ruined people." My ' wife declares the friends she meets emile at the Md she's wearing; 3 Shay hae Hi Bun dad shed some tears 5, ¥ re live wires come and say they need some coin for boosting; I sigh, "My roubles are today with fax col- loctors roosting." This is the way the voter feels when modern law's bereft him; with zealous care be hoards the wheels the tax colleg- tor left him, But dn a while he looks and sees what other lands are doing, marks how the foreign voter flees, with taxes still pursuing; he blushes far his discontent, for tears that he lot trickle, and gives the beggarman 4 cent, the clergyman a nickle, ~WALT MASON.
