Baking Qualities Water Absorption and Broad Yieldâ€"Generally speaking the flour 0f Marquis absorbs a little more water than does that of Garnet and, eonsequently, is inclined to produce a little higher bread yield. Dough Conslatonoy and Stabilityâ€" ilurnet tlour produces a“ dough of less resilience. and elasticity than Marquis. The Harnet however is eonsidered more pliable in consis- tenev than Marquis. In experiment- al and commercial test bakes the Garnet dough resisted fermentation slightly better than Marquis. When subjeetml to modern, large-produc- tion baking machinery and methods Garnet [H'HVMl very satisfactory in stability. In most vxwrimental Mill tests the ash coontent of Garnet was ap- preciablv higher than in Mar uis but. in the commercial test at in- neapolis this was found to be the 5am» for the LW'0.\'arietjes. -\. flour mlourâ€"fl‘he color of the flour of Garnet is more yellow or dark than is that of Marquis.

The question was raised by Willison’s Monthly and has been receiving at- tention from some other publica- tions. According to one theory, Toâ€" ronto is responsible for any dislike of Ontario that may exist through- out the rest of Canada. According to the argument Toronto is accepted as Speaking for Ontario, and it some- times speaks in a way that does not carry“ general approval. II? ‘9 II-_ALI-- ““4'11" "A's nl'naa OTHER PAPERS’ OPINIONS 13 Ontario Unpopuhr‘! Willison’s Monthly finds, however, that there are some very good things to be said of Toronto, .with all its faults. There may be something ju- venile and exasperating about its municipal contests, on the whole it is fairly well governed, and it is comparatively free rrom the gl‘osser forms of corruption. Moreover, al- though it is sometimes referred to as the Belfast of Canada, it does display a spirit of tolerance. lte- man Catholics are elected to the Citf' Council and the Board of Con- tro, and it has always a warm wel- come for French Canadian visitors. These are qualities which Shutdd not be overlooked, and they entitle the city to forgiveness for some of its defects. \Villison‘s Monthly off '1'3 tho sug- gvstion that the 1"éal ol ,_,nsv of rin- tarioxso far as it has giwn otl‘ynsu to other parts of tho Dominion, is that it has no griovuncv; that it 1'0- Slll'l'lS its noighhoi's; that it li\'os within the» constitution and is (lo- volmlly loyal to C(Jllrmlt'l‘allOIl. As- suming that thorv is no noml for an vxplanation of Ontario's npopnlai'ily tho gllPSS is probably as good as any. ~\\'omlstm'k Sonl iliol-I{0\'ie\\'.

It is known that in many cases the Government has shown great reluctance to push aggressive- ly for collection of sales tax pay- ments. The policy of the depart- ment of customs and excise seems to have been to nurse along those, firms which are slow in making sales ta‘x returns, feeling that such iirms are up against financial dif- ficulties, While undoubtedly such a policy is preferable to the insistence upon s‘ales tax returns, Without a thought of the harm this may bring to a concern which is barely navi- gating, it is a question if t Gov- ernment has not‘been a litte. too lax. The sales tax. is not in the same category as ordinary over- head expenses. A licensed tlrm collects sales tax for the Govern- ment on its sales. It is a tax col- lector for the Government and is not entitled to retain any moneys colleced in that way for other uses. A firm which failed in Ontario durâ€" ing the past few days owed the Government $13,000 sales tax and, even though the Government is a preferred creditor for this tax, it is doubtful if it will recover much of this amount. Why should such .‘I‘luUI‘I w'vv a firm he allowed to default month al‘tm- month on its sales tax pay- ments to tho Government whilo competing firms are making their returns prormnly'?
