The forests of Canada are being depleted at a rate they cannot possibly withstand: more than half of this depletion is due to fire, insects and decay. The future of the forest industry is just as dependent on the seedling trees and young as the pulp and paper and lumber mills, and industry generally, are dependent on mature timber--both must be saved from the ravages of fire.

SHOULD REVISE AMUSEMENT TAX. » f The amusement tax in Manitoba has been amended in such a way that . all amateur sports are exempted from the tax, and several Ontario papers ' Are urging that in this province the 'example be fojlowed. In view of the resentment aroused In many rural communities against 3 he amusement tax and the petty revenue that is expensively collected, it seems probable that the Ontario government feels, says the Toronto Star, that there is no easy way by which a line can 'be drawn between Amusements that should and should not be taxed. "The expedient adopted in Manitoba it applied here would have many critics, It would be said that if 'amusements are to be taxed at all certain amateur sports that are high- 1y organised and draw great crowds at good prices are as well able to pay taxes as any other sort of attraction. The gate receipts at some hockey matches are among the largest of the ¥ear, and the same is true, at times, lacrosse and baseball, In cases of this sort it can scarcely be said that the tax on amusements «discourages amusements in the least, Yet there are other cases in which L ent caused by. the is very l.

Business could | hardly be done on this basis unless | there was a substantial profit on the sales. The conclusion to which the Ed- monton Journal comes, and to which we will not add, is wise and as fol- lows: "Those who are disposed to re- spond to such appeals would, before doing so, be well advised to inform | themselves regarding the prices at | which they can make these purchases at home, Apart from the saving that {they would make by looking to Ed- monton sources of supply, there is the fact to, consider that, it we are to build up a prosperous city and | provide employment for our citizens, | we must give preference in our pur- chases to our own manufacturers and ' retailers as far as possible."
