The Farmers' Magazine for January, in an article entitled "The Farm More Profitable Than the City," furnishes the following information: "The war-experiences of the twp communities, Farm and City, are interesting. The prices of farm products went up faster than those of oth- er products, reached what might be called the profiteering level at an earlier date, and held steadier at the top prices. Taking the average price levels of the year 1913 as a basis, the prices of farm products rose to 200 per cent. in July, 1917, whereas those of other products did not do so until August, 1918, The farmer was making excess profits a whole year before other indus- tries began doing so. Besides this, he obtained the greater total rise in prices. The average During the past year upwards of $7,000,000 Was paid under the provisions of the Workmen's Compensation Act to those who were injured in factories and to the dependents of those who lost their lives. This fund is provided exclusive- 1y by the employees of labor, chiefly by the big manufacturing concerns. The Mothers' Pension Allowance is another fund that will soon dis- petrse large sums. Although only a few months in existence, the Board is now issuing monthly cheques to 500 families for amounts aggregating $20,000 monthly. Rev. Peter Bryce, Chairman of the Commission, states that shortly the num- ber will jump up to 1000, making a yearly bill of $600,000. Mr. Bryce also finds that the pres- ent rates of payment'are too small. The scale is $40 a month for a mother with two children, with extra allowances for more children. In the rural districts these amounts are cut by $10 a month, owing to the lower cost of living. This amount is paid by the province out of the gen- eral revenue. The labor members of the Gov- ernment are determined that the provisions of the Workthen's Compensation Act shall be ex- tended to the Farmers. There are many acci- dents every year amongst farm hands, but no provision is made for assistance. It is not itil- probable that the Act will be amended this ses- sion. In that event those employed on farms Would receive the same benefit as those working in factories. The sum required is contributed in direct taxation by the employers. Sudbury News-Despite the pessimistic ex- aggerations of many calamity howlers, Canada enters upon the year 1921 in a better position than many other nations of the world. The re- action of the war, slow in coming, is now being felt, but from all indications Canada will not be affected as seriously as some would have us be- lieve. True, there is a great deal of unemploy- ment, but it is illuminating to learn from official figures that the unemployment is only four per cent. greater than at the beginning of 1920.. These figures are issued on Government auth- ority and show that Canada is not so badly off after all. The crops during the year have been good and the country is, comparatively speaking, prosperous. Financial depression has had an effect; of course, but it has touched nearly every other country as well. Canadians are uniformly happy. Although there are political and social squabbles which cause grumbling and ill-feeling, these are evils which, in one form or another, are always with us. Taking it all in ah, we are lucky to live in Canada. Hon. N. W. Rowell, who was one of the Can- adian delegates to the conference of the League of Nations, returned to Toronto on Saturday night. In a statement to The World he said: "I tell you that it would be superfluous to say how glad I am to get back. As far as I have been able to ascertain, and I have investigated the situation pretty thoroughly, Canada seems to have suffered less from the war than any other country that was in it from the first to the last. The one great reason for this, I suppose, is that this is a great food producing country and we are able to meet adverse condi- tions better than European countries where there is a great shortage of foodstuffs." The Wardepship is always an honor coveted by those who are active in Municipal -matters. The names of two young men prominent for sev- -eral years in the affairs of their municipalities and counties are foremost in the discussion re- garding the choice for Wardens in Peel and York Counties. They are R.'M. Parkinson, of Port Credit, and James Wallace,. of Woodbridge. Both represent small municipalities, but this is no reason why their legitimate claims should be overlooked. Port Credit has never been honored with the position, but according to reports, Mr. Parkinson will be Warden this year. The same is true of Mr. Wallace. .e V The Farmers' Sun is not fond of Sir Adam Beck nor of the policies which he has promoted, and takes The Globe to task for its complimen- tary references to the Hydro-Power Knight. It says: "The policy of fulsome flattery and ser- vile submission which The Toronto Globe adopts toward Sir Adam Beck is doing their hero more harm than good. In a recent cartoon they pic- tured Beck as a mountain-climber on the- peak of a snowy cliff. Did The Globe mean mounte- bank instead of mountain-climber?" _ PAGE TWO SUBSCRIPTION P.ATES--t2.00 per year in advance to 'any address in Canada. $2.50 pear year in advance to United States.

CHARTERS, Sec.-Treas THE TIMES & (SUEDE EDITORIAL WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1921 NOTES Presents day hysteria is well illustrated £353 resolution passed at a recent meeting of the Trades and Labor Council, Toronto, which was to the effect that the defunct luxury tax be re- placed by the establishment of a maximum in- come of $3,000 per annum, the Government to take all income in excess of that amount. It is hard-to be serious over a proposal of this sort, though no doubt the men who voted for it are ready to believe it a first-class method of mend- ing some of our taxation ills.----)' Night. Canada ten years ago from the Great Western Railway town of Swindon in England, stated that he regarded the standard of living around Kitchener as the highest among working classes anywhere, even in the Dominion. Galt and Kitchener are among: the most prros- perous of the towns of Ontario. Mechanics have not hesitated to state clearly their position onthe question of free trade. Urging that their labor market should be protected, Mr. James Webb, a moulderer employed by the Canadian Machire ery Corporation of Galt, appeared before the Tariff Committee at Toronto on behalf of "the laboring classes of Galt" to testify to their belief in the tariff which has provided a large market for Canadian labor. "Our labor has gone up in value," he declared, "and our living conditions have improved at the same time." He declared that in his own shop 90 per cent. of thermen owned their own homes and they wanted their standard of living and their wages protected. So, Mr. O. H. Hughes, representing the organized labor of Kitchener, declared that "practically the whole of the members of organized labor want the protective tariff kept on." He declared : "we fully realize that it is a question of keeping our jobs," and continued: “I have been in the twine and cordage business. I know that if it were not for the protective tariff we would sim- ply close down." Mr. Hughes, who came to February first. These provinces voted bone dry in October by large majorities. The vote will be taken in Ontario in April. If a majority fa- vors the prohibition of importation; Quebec will be the only province legalizing the business, but dealers in that province will not be able to export to the provinces. that vote to prohibit im- portation. . In the four provinces of Saskatchewan, A1- berta, Manitoba, and. Nova Scotia, the impor- tation of liquor will be totally prohibited on . It may be casual, but it looks like the real thing. The head of a large office supply concern told The Globe yesterday that January business already was leaps ahead of last month, and, in- stead of being pessimistic, the outlook for him was highly encouraging, A traveller for machine tools and hardware supplies saidthat January business so far was good, and there wad every indication that it would become better. He point- ed out that inventories were finished and busi-. ness men knew just where they stood. Trade was opening up, and they were getting ready to receive trade. These are early signs that the trade depression will be short. of the unemployed men the idea of seizing what they want by force. The temporary economic condition in Canadian cities and towns, as in Britain, the United States, and other countries in which deflation is operating, is just the thing these emissaries of Lenine are desiring. The Anglo-Salon mind revolts at the raising of the standard of rebellion-which is what the use of force, under the circumstances, would mean-- but the radical uprooting of old conceptions of order, during the war, has left dangerous spots. Both political and economic events in Canada during 1920 have demonstrated, however, that the people are settling down to peace conditions, and that stability is now being as highly prized as it ought to be. The unemployment question cannot be solved by further disturbances, of any nature, but by a minimizing of disturbances, and a restoration of full confidence. It will be most easily solved if Labor is willing to co-operate with Capital in readjusting to peace competitive conditions, because in the end, neither Labor or Capital controls the situation, or can dictate terms, but the general public does. The country needs more economy, efficiency, and willingness to get back to hard work.-Mail & Empire. The following despatch from Kitchener shows the renewal of business activity in that thrifty city. The majority of the local industries will be in operation to-morrow, after having been closed during the holiday season. With the exception of a few furniture factories, the in- dustrial activities of the city will again be nor- mal. Similar satisfactory reports are heard in many other places, In a few months business will have resumed its normal activity if labor and capital will co-operate. There are many evi- dences of the disappearance of the extreme ele- ment on both sides. _ Canada admittedly wants-immigration, but we must set our house in order to receive them before they can be permitted to come. It is both unfair to the unemployed at home and to the immigrant to permit his entry at this time, when he "will be no better off than he was at home. When conditions have adjusted themselves in this country, as they will soon, immigration of the proper kind will be welcomed. The old cOun- tries have their problems, and Canada has hers, too, but ours are not so serious and will be the more quickly solved.-d_con. The Mayor of Vancouver has refused to al- low the city drill hall to be used for mass meet- ings of unemployed men. He says that these meetings are hot-beds for the growth of fl?lslyt- vism, that speakers at them go, immediately if- ter, to secret "red" meetings. In Vancouver, as well as in several other places in Canada, "red" agitators have been seekingrto put into the minds price of his products rose to 246 per cent. of the 1913 prices, while the average, for other products rose only to 226 per cent. Furthermore, when a business depression comes along, the farmer fares better than other business men. He is a producer pf absolute necessities, and his market does not slump so badly. Nor are the reasons difficult to find. The farmer now feeds so many more mouths than formerly that his services are prpportionately more in demand. Every 100 farmers must produce enough to supply 420 per- sons in addition_to themselves, compared with 33t in 1910, 241 in 1900, 213 in 1890, and 117 persons, in 1880. The typical farmer must now feed three times as many outsiders as he did in 1880 and almost twice as many as he did in 1900. Is it any wonder that prices are such as to pay him well for this service?" TPFS & GUIDE, WESTON -i" V‘wvu. uLLCqu And pull the old load through.
