BuWMÂNVfl.J..L ONTARIO EDÎTORIALS- Municipalities Need Autonomy During the recent Citizens Forum broadcast on thé problem of municipal tinancin g, Professor R. J. Love of Dal- housie University expressed some very sound views which deserve the attention of ail municipal taxpayers. Professor Love believes that Canadian niunicipalities are making a grave mistake in accepting financial aid from the larger g.overnments, eîther provincial or federal. t bis the duty of ail governments 10 watch over the spending of ail the monevs they collect from the taxpayer. This duty cant be evaded in regard 10 money passed on to local governments for local purposes. Such money is stili the responsibility of the government that coliected it. But the proper supervision of the spending of it involves a measure of authority ever the municipalities that receive it; and there- fore a loss of local autonomnY. This is à serious.matter, and if a]lowed bo continue could leaci to the collapse of our demo- cra tic system, for our municipal govern- ments are the foundation of our de- mocracy. Professor Love believes that sources of revenue presently available to the municipalitiés would be sufficient to cover the responsibilities that rightly beiong to the municipalities if they were used to their capacity. Property taxes have not risen bo the same extent as other taxes, and could be increased without injustice ta the property owners. There is no reason on earth why either the provincial or federal government should flot pay munieipal taxes on the properties they owvn and the businesses they conduct in the municîpalities. Their refusai to do so is an imposition on the lesser governments. There are some financial responsibil- ities o! whic-h the municipalities should be relieved. Hospitais, for example, wherev- er located, can t be considered local institu- tions. They serve the province or the na- tion and should be the financiai respon- sibility of the barger gavernments.- The Rural Scene.

Look around you. Nothing is so con- tagions as enthusiasm. It selis when evervthing else seems ta laul. Many a sale has been wonby the last ounce of enthus- iastic effort. Enthusiasm has been called the mightîest asset in the world. It is respons- ible for fortunes and victories. It shatters gloomn, ]au ghs ah rebuffs, and conquers the unconquerable. You are as enthusiastic as you Nvant to be. Your enthusiasrn is in your power. How. strong it wiil be depends entirely on yourseif.
