There can never be any question as to where The Chronicle stands on the protection of Canadian industries, whether "it be .factory or farm. We have always favored protection, more than we have ever received from any government, but instead of asking ‘1' air play for the fruit growers of British Columbia we would ask fair play for thefarmersofallCanadainthemat-p ter' of competition in the marketing of l FAIR PLAY FOP. EVERYBODY We have before us a copy of the Vernan «Br 0.), News, and note that their leading editorial calls for fair play for the fruit growers of the Pa- cific province. Frankly. this paper is a marked copy sent us by The News, and an accompanying letter asks us to read it and give them our Opinion. sink. It would be a whole lot cheaper for a town to pay for the upkeep of a few families rather than try to bolster a whole industry. pay for its overhead and keep its excutive in affluence. with the certain assurance that it will eventually fall back on the town any- way after its machinery is worn out and its credit gone. and the ratepayers placed liable for the taxes due, Mr. Unpaid Tax Factory Manager can go to the city with his family, stop at the most ex- pensive hotels. smoke the most expen- sive cigars. drink the best whiskey and have a fine car and an up-to-the- minute radio and what-not. Our personal opinion, after the ex-. perience Durham has had with some of these circus industries, is that if these affairs cannot pay their way af- ‘ ter having received money and con-l cessions. they should be allowed to or managers are more interested in getting their own salaries, driving ex- pensive cars and the like, than they are in making dividends, thinking, per- haps, that when the time comes that they cannot make their payments some good-souled alderman. or per- haps the whole council, will come to the rescue, and on the plea that they cannot bring themselves to turn the town’s workmen out on the street, al- ‘ low these businesses to go on. They‘ never stop to think on how little sacri- fice the “manager” of the plant is mak- ing. While the town’s tax roll is being 5 extended, the town's credit reduced! the taxes. the sooner they are let drift out of the picture the better. Their disappearance will cause regret and a certain hardship for a time, but when the readjustment comes the town and the indivduals are much better ofl. Business concerns, and especially companies that have received favors from the town and are down at the heel are usually in that position for the simple reason that the promoters. We admire the Owen Sound alder- man for his thoughtfulness for others but looking at the matter from a busi- ness standpoint (and towns cannot be run on sentiment any more than other businesses), we have come to the con- clusion that if a town has business concerns in its midst that cannot pay decision was not unanimous by any means. One of the aldermen objected to the action as there was a danger of “at least two local industries being put out of business if the edict was en- forced” and that he “would not be a party to putting men Out of employ- ment and children on the street.” The bailifl’ is to be asked by the City Council to collect some of the taxes of the city of Owen Sound, though this ting any questingw civil arreligious to the test of free dis ’ cussion,is more in love with his own opinion than with the truthâ€"WA TSON.

A car came over a hill 3 short distance away, Inever slackened speed, and when near- ly even with the farmer and his dog the driver noticed a mud-hole on the roadway. In swerving to miss the mud-hole he struck the dog and killed it. The motorist was very lucky that! In the Bruce County dog cases both motorists were proven negligent. The first case was that of a party of hun- ters. who were accompanied by. a' very valuable hound. They were on ‘the side of the road when a car came along. They signalled the driver to st0p or slow up, and the owner of the dog called the animal to him. In crossing the road the animal was kill- < ed. and the car that killed it sped on 1 without even slackening speed.

Judge Owens, gave his decision afâ€" ter a careful review of the evidence, for the simple reason that in each case the motorist had been proven guilty or negligence. The Highways Traffic Act is somewhat similar to the ] HIGHWAY LIABILITY A couple of decisions given recently by Judge Owens, County Judge of Bruce, who spells off with Judge Suth- erland of Grey County during the summer months, in which he found two motorists liable for the killing of dogs in Bruce County, has been ra- ther badly handled by some of the 10- cal press, with the result that there is considerable misunderstanding as to what the bench meant in handing out the verdict of guilty. From reading some of the comments, one is justified in assuming that a motorist is respon- sible if he kills a dog on the highway. We are pleased to tell our readers that this idea is altogether wrong. We haven’t much time for this free trade or lower duty argument. It would be ideal were the whole world to adopt the principle, but to- us it looks like national suicide for Canada 'alone of all the nations to try to grow and. prosper on lower tariffs when other countries after trying the free trade policy for several decades have finally decided that they must have an import tax on foreign made articles if their own country is to keep her place ‘ in the sun industrially. f We stand for the protection of every industry in the Dominion. The fruit growers of the Niagara peninsula are another class whom we think should be protected. Canada, for the grow- ing of fruit, is about a month' behind the United States in the matter of cli- mate. By the time the Canadian fruit is on the market the American fruit has had the run for a month or so, there is no call for the Canadian pro- duct, and as a result much of it has to rot on the vines or in the: trees}, to the detriment and loss of Canadian industry and labor. ; By all means let us protect our Can- iadian industries. Let us protect every- i thing we have to sell. It seems the 1 only way to do if we are to prosper. ‘ Some there are who scofl at protec- tion, but it seems rather funny that since the Great War eighty-seven countries in the world have raised their import duties. One countryâ€"- Canadaâ€"has lowered them. Is it pro- bable that of all these eighty-eight countries Canada is the only one that is right ? ner on No. 1 Northern wheat, and ra- ther than fault her for it we think that the fault lies more with we Cana-n dians who have the edge on the grow- ing of the best wheat in the world and do not apparently know enough to take advantage of it. Western Cana- dian farmers are growing No. 1 North- ern wheat to support largely Ameri- can mills and American labor that could just as well be located here in down grade. A good stifl export duty on No. 1 Northern wheat would mean that more mills would locate in Cana- da; whether they were branches of the big American mills or not would not matter so long 'as they employed Canadian labor and the wage money paid would be kept in circulation in Canada.

He was 74 years of age and for the past 17 years had resided with Mr. and Mrs. W.

He stated that aviation experts were keenly discussing the possibility of air mail service in India with re- gard to economies in expenditure, as well as providing facilities for train- ,ing Indian apprentices. National Airways have already made an ofl‘er to the Government of India to organize and maintain an air mail service for the carriage of English mail from Karachi to Calcutta via Delhi, returning with the outgoing English mail every week. A bi-weekly air mail service between Calcutta and Rangoon has also been proposed. 0n the latter ' route flying boats of the most modern type, carrying 15 passengers and a crew of five, would be utilized. air and a surcharge of one anna (a penny) per ounce was made,” declared the managing agent of 'National Air- ways, interviewed by a press represen- tative. In his opinion it would be possible for any aviation company to organize and maintain the service with a yearly subsidy or about 1,000,000 Bombayâ€"“A total annual extra re- venue of 2,500,000 rupees would accrue to the Government, if the entire mail on the Calcutta-Rangoon and Ran- goon-Calcutta service was carried by NATIONAL AIRWAst OFFER TO ORGANIZE SERVICE IN INDIA With both sides of the story before use we can see now that Judge Owens made a just decision; heretofore we took the reports in the newspapers as we read them, and wondered greatly that our Ontario legislature could have been guilty of passing a fool law that would make motorists responsi- ble for the killing of ' any and every dog that happened to meet its fate on the highway, generally from running out at the car that kills in. ‘ i farmer going along the highway in charge or 2. bunch of cattle.
