With this advice to the Federal Government, The Star cannot agree. believing as we do’that in the best interests of' the country the sales tax is the first that should be re- duced, and as soon as possible done away with..

The tax is unsound in theory. vex- atious and troublesome in practice. and the benefits that. would come from the present. reduction and early abolition of it would be shared by those who need consideration most: the great mass of the con- shining public who seldom have their interests presented to the gov- ernment by large and influential deputations. But. these peeple ARE the people and their interests should come first.-â€"-'I‘oronto Star. Villages Rejoining Townships The people of the village of Bay- field. making application last year to the Ontario government to have their charter as a village cancelled. caused some surprise to those who did not know the inside to the township. thus in a large measure losing control of its own immediate affairs? was the question naturally asked. Now comes Wroxeter. another substantial Huron County Village. asking to be made again part of Howick Township. so far as muni- cipal government is concerned. it's all a matter of business. liv- erybody now wants Hydro light and power. and the Hydro Commission grant specially favorable terms to rural municipalities where users are few and far apart. and no great amount will be used for power. Bayfield and W‘roxeter are almost wholly residential villages. and because of the small amount of hydro current required. would un- der village rates have a rate so high as to be prohibitive. By re- verting to the townships these vil- lages will secure. very advantag- eous terms. and at. the same time help out the remainder of the town- ship in the matter of securing hydro service at a reasonable rateâ€"Luck- now Sentinel. * Petty Grievances Why do petty grievances cause so much hard feelings? Because, some people are so narrow minded and selfish that. they cannot. see someone else doing better than themselves. A few years ago we heard a lot )f talk about. "the survival of the fittest" and that on being modified to comply with true mijirality. has extensive application. The boy who can pitch best. is chosen best is asked to come back. student gets better more l‘l‘S],W(,"., true. so why hate someone who has been more industrious than we have and. because of his industry, has succeet‘led 1’ Instead of having a marks and spiteful. hateful. envious attitude toward the fellow who advances faster than you do. shake hands with him and say "(to to it. old man. you‘re doing fine." If you were as capable as he. you would be there too. If you envy him let your envy increase your working capacity in- stead of your beefing capacity. It is better to lose fair than to win firty.â€"â€"Kincardine Review-Report- or. Sunday Opening of Theatres The Quebec Government evidently intends that the public shall take the lessons of the Laurier Palace Theatre disaster to heart. A law is to be introduced into the Legisla- ture prohibiting the attendance at theatres of all children under 16 years of age. whether accompanied by adults or not. The Government is also going to bring several ac- tions against theatres that keep open on Sundayâ€"it will be remem- bered that it was on a“ Sunday that the catastrophe at the Laurier Palace Theatre occurred. These ac- ‘important delegation from the- Boards of’ Trade waited upon the Government at Ottawa the other day. the question of reduction referred to, Premier King asked for the views of he deputation as to which partic- ular tax should first be reduced in The reply he perhaps, the sales tax could stand as it is, if nec- essary. and that the corporation and income taxes should first be reduc- was said, were the fixes that interfered with futher lacks the merit of being a tax levied on capacity to pay or on wealth.
