T 10=0=0H° There died last week a well-known public man, Sir George E. Foster, who has been before the public for over 60 years. He tlrat came into prominence by his advocacy ot temp erance principles, both in the indiv- idual and in the State, though in many other ways he was prominent as a. progressive citizen for many years. He was a splendid speaker. a Conservative M. P. at Ottawa for years and while keenly partisan, his political thrusts mellowed with the passmg years. latterly he was " pointed to the Senate chamber and was honored with knighthood. The little United States dollarbi1l has behind it considerably less act- ual value than the Canadian dollar which is penalized on the other side ot the international boundary. THE LATE SIR GEORGE FOSTER It, therefore. seems amuslng that Cansdlans should be asked to pay one dollar and twenty cents in gold tor an American bill whlch actually represents 28c in gold.. The only undertaking entered into by the United States of America ls that they will pay one silver dollar. That silver dollar by the present qua tation cn silver, represents an actual value ct Me. An edltoriat in the Fort William Timcs Journal. referring to the' tin. ancial situation, says: merica one silver dollar, payable to the bearer on demd. Take Canadian bills over to the other slde of the line and you will be asked to ttive' $1.20 for every Unit. ed States dollar bill you get in ex- (mango. You will get the new small American dollar bill. ' Silver Certuleate : This eertifles that there has been deposited in the treasury ot the United States of A. If we start wrong we have too many things to unlearn. It seems very much easier to learn a thing right in the tirtrt place than to learn it in a wrong way and have to un- karn it. Unlearning is always a dif- ficult task and it grows harder with tho years. The legend on the American dollar which is held to be worth Me more than tht, Canadian dollar, reads as follows 2 Why should we be so anxious to when wealthy when we are not? Why should we be so ashamed of rvtverty? Why should we not recog- nize that weatlh and poverty are but trivial affairs compared with thlngs that really matter? If a ftiver is all we can afford, why should we fret out in trying to secure a limousine? If we can attord only a humble eot/ tags, why should we so in debt $10/ 000 for something out of our reach? j i A right start is a. very desirable thing and much of the trouble in this old world would be averted if we would avoid false pretenses. Wheth- er in business. pleasure. matrimony or social life, we should sail under no false colors. Many a business man has gone to wreck because the lr,',',',"',',', proprietor insisted on carry- Lng too much sail. He thought he could carry a millionaire businesson a shoe string capital: he failed: do I you wonder? Many a matrimonial venture has come to grief for item- ilar reason. Two young folks started out with very little money and a great deal of foolish pride. They de- cided they had to keep up with the Jcrua' and they did-tor a while- then alter a year or so. the Inevitab le crash came and they were tortun. ate it they learned their lesson with- out wrecking home as well as for- tune.

Notwithstanding the undoubted merit of these plans in theory, they have not proven popular and many cities and towns adopting them have gone back to the older democratic system. Are Provincial Governments more far-seeing than county councils. Not always. It ls now generally recog- nized that counties make a mistake in selling. so many debentures for County Roads, but they were encour- aged tn this by the provision tn the Highway Improvement Act allowing them to sell Debenturea up to 5 Per. cent of their annulled assessment. No waning ever came from the Bor ernment unmet the pnctlce and no An indications of this is Been In the reception given to the town or city manager. or town or city com. The tendency recently has been to ccntralize more power and authority in the Provincial Gov't and it Coun- ty Councils were abolished no doubt the authority now invested in them would be taken over by the Gov't, This would necessitate a. further army of cmeialt, and government would tend to become bureaucratic. It can able, trained, honest oftieiala were chosen and kept tree trom political control o. K., but past experiences ct party government do not guaran- tee this. Examples are _ School grants, Provincial Highway Levies, Old Age Pensions, Mothers' Allowances, Ad- ministration of.Justice and Indigent patients in hospitals. This is largely brought about by the Prov'l Gov't simply making the Ccunty Council a collection agency "A great deal of the dissatisfaction with Ccunty Councils, comes from the fact that the County rates tshow,very high on the tax bills ot the local municipalities, A 'd.-.,. times imposed by Provinciai stat- utes and regulations and about which the County Council has no say nor cvei' had. We thought it would be good judg- ment to obtain the opinion of two ex- perienced County Councillors, one who bel‘eves they are absolutely necessary, the other who is of the opinion that their day of usefulness 's now missed and the work that they m w do, can be done by township ccuhcils and by the Provincial Gov't. Their opinions are published here- with : The news will come as a rude jolt to many of the County Councillors, who have possibly regarded the Council " s timehonored institution which is here to stay. but there is no doubt we have far too much govern- ment in Canada today. We could get along in these days of stress without the Canadian Senate. Quebec could get along without a Legislative Council. This institution was abol- ished a few years ago in Nova Bet; tin. but not without a struggle. A union of the Maritime provinces un- der one government has long been mooted. but if this would do away with the necessity ot three Lieuten~ ant Governors, Government House in each province with all its expense. ccttaideratrte could be saved. Just " present we have no Lieutenant Gov- ernor in Ontario and if Chief Justice Mulock. who is now the acting ottle, ial. holds down that position much longer. we mar reach the conclusion that the Chief Justice of every prov- ince can act as Lieut. Governor and cut out tremendous expense. But what has all this to do with our Co. Cc-unCiis ? It is simply this: are they necessary , (An editorul from the Pembroke Standard.) Due to the agitation throughout Western Ontario, to abolish-the Conn ty Councils the‘Government is now considering it the Municipal Act can be amended with this end in view.

Premier Henry admlm that there are too many members in the local Legislature but he does not know how to reduce the number. The whole cost of Government is expensive and "the powers that be" are to be conr mended for endeavorlng to find a way of striking the axe " the roots. How. ever we doubt if the County Council are the white elephants and we would feel like saying: "Woodman. spare that tree! Touch not a. single trough! In youth it sheltered me And I'll protect it now." While we must all have an open mind,, throw :prequdice to the winds and be willing tor any system which w ll cut down expense, yet the fact remains that if we abolish our Coun- ty Councils, local autonomy is being sacrificed and the administration of Provincial affairs to the mlnutest de- tan is being centralized in Toronto. This would be intensely unpopular. We do not pretend to understand the work of a County Councll like these two gentlemen. who are two, 21d experienced County Councillors, but, “as doctors, they differ, and when they differ the public will be obliged to think for themselves and todraw their own conclusions.
