Per- haps the most radical of the ten proposals, and incidentally one of 'those which received the strongest support in the replies, provided for "a graded tax on all bonds, coupons, mortgages, bank accounts, etc., which could be used to defray a part of the present ex- penditure on education." This received 124 yeas, 28 conditional yeas, and 39 nays. ¢ Other results indicated a preponderance of support for the following proposals: A special tax which would permit university graduates to refund to the Province the cost of their training, wherever possible; a sufficient tax on motor vehicles and com- mercial vehicles using the highways to meet the cost of construc- tion and repair of highways; lower interest rate on Government loans to farmers; a tax on all restaurant and hotel meals of fifty cents and over, to be applied to hospitalization costs for indigents; and, finally, the lending by the Government of funds at cost to pay off the outstanding county bank loans and accounts. In view of the interest displayed in the issues by the Muni- cipal Councils and the promptness of their response, there will be general agreement with the editor of the Monthly Bulletin, the official pamphlet of the Ontario Association of Rural Municipali- ties, when he says: "The result shows a general awakening among the people of the Province of Ontario. It would be somewhat preposterous to pretend that each and every one of the questions submitted re- ceived all the attention and study which the importance of the subjects warranted. It is, however, safe to say that a very healthy situation is being developed in every county of our Pro- vince," B NOTE--There is great need for constructive suggestions by rural people as to the conduct of public affairs. Drastic changes are being made in education, and in the conduct of business in Canada. The farmers have had too little to say in these matters, and may live to regret their neglect of this public duty. ... .. por SCUGOG Next Sunday, June 28, Communion service will be held in the Centre Church at 11 am.
