' 3 A brief explanation will make this point! gclear. TheiGovernment_ does not base ital lgrants towards county and township roads: on population, or even on the respective} needs of the several localities; the Govern- lment grants are, as stated last Tuesday_.5 ! based on the amount the several townships iand counties spend themselves. It was ;because of the principle on which the pro- 1 vincial-subsidies are based that Grey county; in 1921 received close to a quarter of aj million in Government bonuses towards road work carried out by municipal `author- ity, while Hastings, a county of equal area, received only a little over $100,000 in the . sameway. Halton, again,'with less than i` ` one half the area of Perth, received more: , those who -framed the present policy desired than two dollars of Government money- towards municipal road building for every dollar that the larger county received. A Direct Incentive to Spending What is, what must be, the resultof I Lu this? The result is precisely whati to attain; the -adoption -by municipal coun- l oils everywhere of ambitious road building` programmes in order that they may secure from the Government 60% of the cost of provincial county, 40% of the cost of the county and 20% of the cost of township roads. When the -people of Frontenac, for example, see that their county received` _only a little over $30,000 of Government grants towards municipal road building in 1921 while Carleton, a smaller county, received over half a million in like grants, . what is going to happen? Does not a de- mand in Frontenac for the undertaking of an extensive road programme become in_evi- '1 table, e`ven~if about `half the total outlay must be metby local. taxation? And so the movement, like fever in a hospital- patient, will spread all over the Province. , In years past candidates for the offices of ; reeve and councillor made their appeal on a platform of economy-of limited spending. Their successors of to-day, in seeking re- election, -will point to the volume of Gov- _ernment grants they have secured towards` `ROADS EXPENDITURES AND MUNICIPAL TAXESA _ the result of work authorized by municipal? LIV u-- While it is true that the greater part of the taxation imposed for road building is councils, it is also true that the road policy! of the Ontario Government gives a veryl strong incentive to municipal spending for [this purpose. l A kn-inf nunlnn.-.62.... .51! .....l... `LL. .....Z..4l .From the Far111ers` Sfm` is [taken the fgllowing article by W.

It is in the hope of helping on in a move- iment of this nature that these articles are `being written; it is with a view `of showing that we cannot con-tinue as we have been going without, in the opinion of the writ- er of this at least, bringing disaster to both Province and municipalities. I I Farmers Go Behind---Taxes Go Up ' l . Just a few_more facts by way of empha- sizing this point. The population- of the townships of Ontario was less in 1921 than in 1915. At the same time municipal and school taxation in rural Ontario has prac- .tically doubled in that time. Despite this increase in taxation, debenture indebtedness in rural Ontario has almostfdoubled in the same period.- This condition would be alarming enough under any circumstances; it becomes doubly so "in view of the fact that many of the best farmers of Ontario have actually gone behind in the last two years and that last fall the unusual spec- tacle was presented of hosts of farmers borrowing money to pay -their taxes. Provincial Levy Inevitable Unless- The financial position of the Province `is equally startling. Debt free not so many year ago, Ontario at the end of the fiscal year .of 1921 was carrying direct and indir- ect liabilities of $240,000,000 and the report for 1922, when i-t comes ouf, will show a `further -increase. It is true the Province I `does not, like the municipalities, send a-` `round a tax bill every year to each_rate- -payer in order to meet the growing Pro- vincial expenditure. But the money which the Provincial Treasurer spends comes from ~ the people all the same. Du& of some three and a half million dollars paid by lumbermen in 1921 were, inithe end, paid by people generally in the higher "cost of lumber, etc. The $3,000,000 or so collected from life and fire insurance companies, banks, and so on, was not paid by these institutions, but by the people who did business with them. These and other in- direct sources, stretched to the limit, are proving insufficient and the Province, fol- lowing the lead of the Dominion Govern- ment with its income tax," is now rsorting to direct taxation as well. The stamp tax on transfers of securities and the tax on each transfer of real estate is abeginning in -this direction. It is only. a question of time, unless -a check is put not only on road expenditures but on all other `expenditures which have grown in proportion therewith, until every township tax bill will, in ad- dition to a county levy, carry `a Provincial levy as well. ' un5uwa_y Auncngli. ' | 1`he :end'2ncy to grab -from a central fund for local, -benefit could not be given a `greater stimulus than by a comparison of; :,the Government s share of the expenditure} ion Provincial highwayslin different coun-Y. ities in 1921. Taking 15 counties, selected[ ;at random, it is found that the Govern-.[ 5ment s 80% contribution to the cost off `Provincial highways varied from $13,000 in? the case of Prince Edward county to $776,-! 000 in the case of Wentworth. Prescott! , and Ru$ell had $304,000 Government mon- ` ley spent on their Provincial highwaysl lagainst $46,000 for Victoria. Peel got $339,000 and Renfrew $38,000. Simcoe se-I cured $225,000, while Bruce, another of the; northern counties, was put off with 844,-` I000. Comparisons similar to these mightl fbe multiplied almost indefinitely and one! lie oppressed by contemplation of the raiding Ito which the Provincial treasury will be! ,subjected, when `these facts begin to seep; Jin, unless sane people, with some regard! lfor the future, insist on a curb being put {on Provincial and municipal spending alike. l Tl . in in flash lmnnn nf lanlnina nu in n rnnirn the cost. of highway programmes carried out! by themselves. ` ' All Will Want Provincial Highways i If this is true in regard to municipal road; building programmes, it is` undoubtedly` true in regard to Provincial road building programmes, that ' is, Provincial high- ways towards the. cost of which the Government contributes 80%.

In 1890 he married Minnie, daughter of Alfred A. Barber, of Montreal, and `leaves two daughters, the Misses Charlotte and Ruth Armstrong. The family, of which he is a member, has lived in Montreal for seven genera- tions. His brother, L. 0. Armstrong, the well-known lecturer, has been 3 life-long member of; the C.

Later when war was declared against Turkey and the Mesopotamia campaign decided upon, he offered to ship there the materials for a light draft steamer suited to navigating the Tigris, and engaged to have it put together in running order thirty days after its arrival. The offer was not accepted but later on he was called upon to take a number of experienced river men to England, and after having been torpedoed in the Mediterranean, he and his party reached Mesopo- tamia and Captain Armstrong did much good work-in the organizing of navigation on thec I`igris._ He was later -sent to Egypt to make im- provements in the war-time` naviga- tion of the Nile. While in the Im- perial service he suffered from the effects of the climate and never fully recovered. About three months ago he-met with an accident which was complicated by a return of the complaint from which he had suf- fered in the East. and his death came without warning at a time when he seemed to be progressing favorably ` nnnfoin A --....o......._ .-,.n. ,. ._,., e A Oice, 10-12 Owen St. Duh ll; uluay us; nu. .......... .. clean, careful working con- dition.
