J.Carson, chairman of the finance committee of the town council, made last week through the me- dium of an open letter to the de- linquent taxpayers, there has been shown some increase in the town's receipts, according td a statement this week. It is point- ed out, however, that there is still a considerable sum outstand- ing and that there only remain two days in which to pay up and save the five per cent. which was dropped from the arrears of those who made their payments before March Ist. It is further pointed out that an additional five per cent. will be added to all unpaid taxes when the new rate is struck and the arrears carried forward to the new roll. This is a provision of the Municipal Act, and the council has no option in the matter. With the necessity crease in the town's an in- from for loans the bank, it is urgent that all cit- izens put forth their best efforts to pay their indebtedness. The new council has embarked on a policy of economy and there will probably be little chance for any great improvements being made this year, but the business of the town must be carried on and the only source of revenue is the a- mount collected in taxes. The greater the amount of arrears that has to be carried, the small- er the funds available for im- provements will be. known to the people of Hailey- three particular cases are well bury. The Rotary Club is proving itself a real service club and is earning the thanks of the com- munity for its work. c OUTLINES HUGE CANADIAN PROGRAMME Ne h Nsties : ae RA if ¢ Ny mays callers 4 ls Alt aq (et ne 000,000 provement 've from East to West of Canada, the Canadian Pacific Railway will expend more than $50,- in new equipment, branch line construction and_im- to existing and equipment during 1930, ac- cording to announcement recently made by E.

W. Beatty, eo WE RN Chairman and President of the Company _be- fore the members of the Cana- dian Industrial Traffic League at their banquet in Montreal --re- cently. With the filling up of this country and the advance- ment of its commerce, not only will new construction and new territory be required, but vastly enlarged and improved facilities in the older districts will be needed because they will be outgrown by the needs of the communities for which they are provided," he em- phasized when pointing his faith in the future of Canada and when urging upon his hearers and upon all other business men a "sympa- thetic regard for our needs and an accurate appreciation of what we neve done and are endeavouring to dao.

These factors, he said, require adequate compensation for the service they render and adequ- more than $368,000,000 during the ate credit to provide new moneys for new enterprises. It was true that the Canadian Pacific was earning and paying seven per cent on capital stock from railway eamn- ings, but more was required in order to create reserve necessary for annual cupital expenditures or part of them. Members of the Canadian irdustrial Traffic League would appreciate the fate of a company which had to borrow everything it spent. Conditions in Canada during the latter part of 1929 resulting from the decrease in the western grain crop caused a serious decrease in railway earnings, but the decrease represented the result of an extra- ordinary combination of circum- stances. The railways had not failed in efficiency nor had the country suffered from anything approaching a general depression. It was not a condition to give much ground for apprehension and the situation of 1929 was not likely to be repeated in subsequent years. The Canadian Pacific Railway, Mr. Beatty said, had a peculiarly national significance in that 97 per cent of all its investments in rail, steamship, hotels, telegraphs and other activities was in Canada, and from the day of its inception its policies have been dictated by faith in Canada and by intelligent self interest. "I do not know of any combination of factors which tend more towards commercial suprem- acy than a combination of national sentiment, a sense of public duty and unremitting striving for effi- ciency, in order that the solvency of the undertaking may never be questioned and that its owners may be adequately rewarded," the presi- dent declared when emphasizing that the Canadian Pacific was out- standing in these factors. "Improvements in physical con- ditions, construction of new lines and facilities is one way by which | p: mL tiv a corporation can show its faith and also sits leadership", Mr. Beatty continued. "The anadian Pacific in the past ten years has spent millions of dollars on capital account in connection with rail- ways, it has done many things which represent a notable contribu- tion, not only to its own facilities but to the communities in which its operations are conducted.

For many years, and particularly since the war the Canadian Pacific and many other companies have en- deavoured to associate themselves with, and support many community movements and to assist hospitals and educational movements. rules which applied to individual good citizenship also applied to cor- porations. It was a frequent and logical complaint of railways in the United States that they were heavily taxed and that this taxation was almost crippling in its effect. no disputing the correctness of that statement insofar as many railways were concerned, but he would willingly assume their taxes if he could be assured of their railway of Canada, however, did riot. escape heavy tax- In 1913 the Canadian Paci- fie's total tax bill was $1,382,000. In 1928 it was $8,038,178, an in- crease of 482 per cent. This sum represented taxes at the rate of $21,962 per day, $915 per hour, $15.25 per minute or 25% cents per second. The Company, he em- phasized, was making a very sub- stantial contribution to the Goy- ernment of the country. The daily ayroll of the Canadian Pacific its daily disburse- ment for material and supplies was $220,000 ,and its daily tax bill $21,000. These figures indicated the contribution to day by day busi- ness and applying the same basis to the total expenditure of all rail- ways in Canada last year developed the fact that the total sum dis- bursed exceeded $500,000,000, or a little more than man, woman and child in the see The was for every e (3 = lat the Municipal chambers, North ' Cobalt. ;.
