3 2P One of the sources of revenue which the Onâ€" tario Government can depend upon is the autoâ€" mobile. It is stated that 176,000 motor licenses were issued in this proviénce in the present year. This‘ would yield a revenue of nearly $2,000,000. There is an increase over last year in the number «wof licenses of 30,000. Ontario‘s population is placed at 2,750,000. According to this estimate there is one motor to every 15 persons. There is, therefore, an investment of $100 in automobiles for every man, woman and child in the province. In earlier days monep now expended in this way was invested in houses and home and farm imâ€" â€"provements. The labor and capital necessary in the construction, maintenance and operation of this number of carsâ€"a very large percentage of which are used exclusively for pleagureâ€"is reâ€" «sponsible for the shortage of labor for more proâ€" «ductiveductive lines of industry, and is therefore retarding progress along lines which would make for the permanent happiness and well being of ‘the people. _ Rev. Dr. Ribourg, preaching at St. Alban‘s Cathedral, Toronto, on "Reasons for Thanksgivâ€" ing," said in part : "No people on earth have more reasons to thank God than the people of Canada. Materially and spiritually God has blessed us as a mation. Even now, when humanity is passing through a terrific transforming process which is shaking the very foundations of society, we find that here in this Dominion men and women are still preserving the great ideals which have alâ€" ways made people great, religion, ethics, art and science. These ideals are deeply rooted in the very soul of the nation, and after six years of unâ€" precedented assaults are showing no signs of imâ€" paired strength and vitality. _ Moreover, the counrty at large has caught a new vision of its responsibilities and duties and has already startâ€" ed to shake the wrongs which marred its blazon, selfishness, greed and pride. These excrescences were never challenged nor fought more intrepidly than they are toâ€"day. The general feeling of the people was never more amenable to wise and constructive change and adaptation. Even the «confirmed reactionaries confess that they will never return to the shattered idols of yesterday and rejoice at the advent of right and equity in the affairs of men." 4 Pm en ae . Sn oc e ES Cyil {TOMITCAT in the ranks of organized labor of Toronto, made the surprising statement that "There was even a lecturer here (in Toronto) last winter to tell workman how to loaf successfully." That the advice has not been generally taken is proven by the fact that increased production is shown in many of the factories. ""If prices drop and wages are maintained at their present level I think that the ‘Red‘ element will drop out of ‘sight in the Labor movement," continued Mr. Hevey. "The man who now holdsâ€"a job that he Tlikes or needs will find it‘s worth while to do «enough work to keep the job," is the significant piece of advice given by a writer in a technical journal. In days gone by a good mason lard from 1600 to 2000 bricks as a day‘s work. Under preâ€" sent conditions when a man has laid 700 he has finished the regulation day‘s labor. There are masons still working at the trade who have laid T800 bricks in a day and received therefor $2.50 to $3.00. . These same men now are paid $1.00 an hour or $9.00 for the laying of 700 bricks. \In some other lines wages have made corresponding advances. Dominion Another Canadian newspaper, the Winnipeg (Melegram, has been forced to give up the strugâ€" ‘gle for existence and has been absorbed by The Tribune of the same city. The enormous cost of white paper, which has increased from $50 to $140 per ton in two years, and the great advance in wages in the same period renders impossible the continuance of more than one, or at most two, daily papers in cities of two hundred thouâ€" sand or less. During the present year the numâ€" ber of papers has been greatly decreased for the Teason stated, and will be further reduced if the proposal to advance newsprint to $200 per ton is adhered to bV thP TD M mm e mm en n n es P Roaks ts mt io fere Far anip i1 e fiectionâ€"of the Uâ€":F.O, members for Dufferin and East Simcoe were alâ€" terwards protested. _ The trial of the petition against Mr. Ferguson was the first in Ontario since Sirâ€" James Whitney secured power fifteen yeats ago.

In a rapidly growing country like Canada, five years is a Tong enough period withâ€" out taking stock, and checking over changes. Consider, for instance, our Parliamentary repreâ€" sentation based chiefly on population returns of 1911. ) During the tenâ€"year period, the number of members of the House of Commons was inâ€" creased from 221 to 235, the West being allowed 14 extra members, but we have had no general ‘redistribution, on account of the war. Redistriâ€" bution is badly needed before the next general election in view of the peculiar class character of the tariff controversy raised by the Crerarites. A comparison of populations of ridings (1911) shows how unjustly the seat distribution works out in 1921. Montreal, for instance, has twelve members, for an aggregate listed population of 544,000 or an average of 45,400 each. Probably toâ€"day the population average, per riding, is 60,â€" 000. Yet the rural ridings have one member each for every 20,000 or 25,000 people. In Quebec, T‘Islet has 16,000, Missisquoi 17,000 ,Montmagny 16,000, Maskinonge 16,000, and so on. Toronto has six members, on a population of 321,000, or more than 50,000 per riding. Toronto now has 500,000 population, or 85,000 persons per riding. Consider this city having only six Dominion members, out of 82 for Ontario, when it has oneâ€"fifth of Ontario‘s population. _ We should have, on a population basis, about 16 members. The same lobâ€"sided condition of the representaâ€" tion can be shown everywhere, when urban and rural population is contrasted. The census will Erovlde a new count, preliminary to redistribuâ€" ion. 275,000,000 bushels is estimated as the wheat crop of Canada for 1920.. One hundred million bushels will feed the people of the Dominion and furnish seed for next year‘s sowing. This leaves 175,000,000 bushels for export, or sufficient to feed 28,000,000 people in foreign countries. _ A. calculation sets forth that if the 175,000,000 buâ€" shels were bagged, the bags laid end to end, they would make 18 continuous rows from Montreal to Vancouver. The estimated crop of oats is 550,000,000 buskels, 85,000,000 bushels more than the record crop of 1915. Under such conditions there should be contentmrent at least correspondâ€" ‘~e« with the nrosperity which such crops ensure. Mail and Empire: "Next year is census yeat. The last general census was taken in 1911. A partial census was taken in 1916 and 1917, and " 7 S w inarnie n oo i n t us ing Hon. R. H. Grant, Ontario‘s Minister of Eduâ€" cation, is reported as favoring a minimum salary of $2,000 for public school teachers.. This 1s $800 more than is being asked by the teachers‘ organiâ€" zations. With the extra revenue being received by the province from horse racing, illicit I1quor selling and automobile licenses the governnrent, with reasonable economy along less necessary lines, could contribute much more generously toâ€" wards the support of the rural\public schools, and by so doing assist the trustees to approach if not reach the limit he regards as fair. Before the Tariff Commission representatives of the Saskatchewan Farmers‘ Association gave evidence which would go to show that the lot of the people in that province is anything but desirâ€" able. In fact, without further evidence, one would conclude that little but suffering and want prevail. But on .the other side of the acâ€" count is the undoubted fact that in a few years the people of ‘the province have paid no Tess a sum than $75,000,000 for automobiles, which makes possible a car for every 14, men and woâ€" men, young and old, of the populationt. There is also the further fact that $72,000,000 was invested in Victory Bonds, and $12,500,000 paid off farm mortgages. These actions on the part of the whole people speak more loudly and nrore conâ€" vincingly than the complaints of politicians whose business appears to be the creation of unâ€" rest and turmoil throughout the Dominion. An indication of changing conditions is furnâ€" ished by the announcement from a number of New York theatres. The enormous sums of money available for pleasure and amusements appear to be decreasing. Sixteen first class theâ€" atres have been compelled to resort to cut prices in the hope of maintaining receipts, 6 per cent. of the city‘s actors are free to accept other posiâ€" tions, and the loss in the past few weeks to the proprietors is estimated at $1,200,000. More careâ€" ful spending is given as one of the reasons for the decreased patronage of the playhouses. It is to be hoped this is the chief cause. The mad rush for amusement and the consequent extravaâ€" gance and waste must be followed by depression and suffering when the inevitable reduction in the demand for labor occurs. â€" In spite of high prices those who have had a disposition to do so have "laid up in store" considerable savings for the future. ( Last year County of Halton farmers were large producers of alsike and sweet clover seed and disposed of great quantities at prices ranging from $25 to $32 per bushel. A press dispatch conâ€" tains the information that Henry Pell, of Esquesâ€" ing, Halton County, "received $1800 for his crop of sugar beets grown on fifteen acres." The soil is well adapted to the cultivation of this crop. There are in Canada beet sugar factories, some of which have not been successful because the supply was not sufficient. With the assistance of farmers who have it in their power to produce the raw material Canada may Ston have a sugar industry in which local competition will be sufâ€" ficient to ensure the supply necessary for the needs of the dominion at prices within the reach of the ordinary consumer. with the prosperity which Commerce to deal with the appeal of the Sugar Refineries and that the objectionable order was in accordance with the wish of the administraâ€" tion. The promptness with which the order was suspended by the Prime Minister is the best anâ€" swer to the suggestion. Mackenzie King in a speech in British Columbia told his audience that one of the Ministers was a director of a sugar reâ€" finery. Hon. Mr. Ballantyne replies that such is not the case. Mr. King and his associates are eviâ€" dently more anxious to make political capital than to deal with the facts. An effort was made to create the belief that the Government had requested the Board of Major Lewis is the Provincial Liberalâ€"Conâ€" servative candidate in Northâ€"east Toronto. The election is made necessary by the resignation of Hon. Dr. Cody. The Liberals and Labor Party also have men in the field, but Hon. Mr. Drury has decided to remain out of the contest. This would be a very good constituency in which to try out his People‘s Party idea. Probably Masâ€" terâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"Administration Morrison would. not approve of such a contest.
