Two interesting incidents of rather di- vergent tendency have recently been reported from across the line. lip in the district of New England, the Boston and Maine has been having a fairly hard struggle with its fin- ances; and just the other day, it. got permission from the Interstate Commerce Commission to abandon tittyâ€"eight miles of unprofitable! trackage and to put in a reduced1 service on one hundred and five miles more. To quite a large exâ€" tent. the action of the Boston and Maine is due to the competition of the motor bus and the motor truck. though rural depoiiulation probablv has something to do with it. ., t all events. this example has been “ide- ly cited to show that the railway was being worsted in competitimi by the motor. and the remark has been made that “the stage conch, relegated to tho discard by the rail- road. is coming back in the form of the autoâ€"bus and the auto-truck to claim its own." In other parts of the United States, and in Canada and in other coun- tries as well. there has been a good deal of evidence to support. the in- t'erence that has just, heen quotinl: hut it clues not. appear that the trend is all in a «lirection adverse to the rail. Hf quite another character is a report, which comes from New York. where a big bus corporation has announced that it cannot make. money on a live cent fareâ€"one. which its successful competition with the electric trolley had been Insect-«and is proposing to raise its fare. to ten cents. Now, of course. this is a matter that ail‘ects the electric railway rather than the steam line: but the announcement has a significance that is not to he neglected. If this policy on the part of the Tompkins Bus Corporation of New York is indicative of the. com- petitive. capacity of the motor hus. there is apparently room yet for the light railway to continue the fight. and it would seem that. the issue of the rail versus the. roan has not yet been settleil.-â€"-'I‘oronto Saturday Nigh t. ----vâ€" being planed so admitly at THE DURHAM CHRONICLE 'fir: nmnwus During the recent. election cam- paign, some predictions were made that taxes would be lowered in the Dominion of Canada. Any consid- eration whatever of Canada's finan- cial situation will show that this much to he desired event can only take place on one condition, name- ly, that the expendtures ot’ the Gov- ernment be decreased. If one limits the obligation for reducing taxes to a single kind of taxes, we must im- mediatel look for an increase in some ot er kind of taxes. It may be an advantage to a certain part of our population to have income taxes ,reduced, and it might be to the gen- eral good if such a thing could be accomplished, in order that larger amounts could, if they would. be invested in productive enterprises. It would not, however. bring any great measure of relief, generally, if income taxes were to he reduced. only to have some other tax in- creased. A great many penile w ould like to have the income tax abol- ished, and to have the corresimnding amount of Federal revenue derived from less irritating means of milk- ing the cow. Our experience on the farm, however, indicates that there is a good deal of truth in the story of the man who asked the farmer how much milk his cow gave, and got the curt but informing repfy, "She don’t give any; you have to take it from her." It is much the same with taxes. Nobody wants to give any. but a little scratching of the backbone oe- easiunally makes the extraction a little less disagreeable. Many peo. ple in Canada have the idea that there are. less annoying ways of obtaining Federal revenue than by the income tax. In fact, a IMmiliinnâ€"wide enm- paign to have the Federal Incmne 'I‘ax abolished has been launched by the Retail Trade Bureau of Canada. the head office of which is in Ht- tawa. Already meetings have been held in Montreal, Ottawa and other centres, and the resuonsc to the. call for assistance has been most encouraging. In an interview in which he out- lined the principal reasons why the Retail Trade Bureau of Canada was Opposed to the continuance of the Income Tax, E. M. Trowern. Dom- inion Executive Director and Sec- retary of the Bureau in Ottawa, pointed out that one of the main faults with his tax is that it is making liars and thieves out of people. ‘fAll men are not honest.” ll- --- ---.‘..I,I ity. “OCR: aé such conditions are permuma {0 continue, it is ridiculqus for public men to talk of reducing our taxi-es.
