' I Some people make unfair compar- ison between the `city tax` rate and that of most towns, which usually runs at least o.ne-third higher. In [this they overlook the di erence ini assessment. A Barrie ratepayer re-i cently found a Toronto` house almosti identical with his residence here but7 `the assessed gure was over four times as great.

He says that-Vi living costs will climb twenty-ve per i cent. this year.

S Reno Robert Cavelier De La Salle - came to Canada in 1666 from Nor- 1 mandy and was destined to ll an - important niche inthe early history - of.New France and to wina worthy -' place in the gallery of celebrities '-gtl1at crossed the ocean in a spirit of - lhigh adventure and who. proved their Isterling'- worth on `many occasions. - One of his first acts on reaching New France was to secure the grantof a ' Seigneury from the Sulpician Fath- r ers, covering the site of Ville Marie, or the father of Canada's commercial metropolis, `as he built a trading post , on its site, although it was left to 2,lMaisonneuve to establish -the new - settlement on a permanent basis. .' La Salle was, however, more of an e explorer and hunter than a founder L of cities. His dream was_to discover the long-searched-for western pass-_ age-tovChina, coupling his explora- tions with fur-trading. In 1669, in 5 D I 5 4 l I I -. company with two Sulpician Fathers, - De Casson and Gallinee, and a party - ~..of_ twenty-two men, he started west- -[ward to establish missions, but only `reached the end of Lake Ontario. He was the first white man to build _and , sail a vessel on Lake Erie, as he was the first to follow the,Mississippi to`-.: its mouth, opening the way later_ for a French settlement in_ Louisiana. Previous to this, he had been given another grant at Cataraqui, the` King- ston of today, where he built a stone fort in place of Frontenac s wooden one.` ' ' But La Salle was `unfortunate `from the start, having more failures than successes to his credit. and it was in keeping -with the misfortunes `thaty dogged his steps that he was murdered` by some of his men and lies today, "like. Moses of old, in an un- known grave. ;..:. ' ~ [MAKERS or CANADA! ,....~,..uu.uaaa; uugauuu congresses.

MOT!-IERWI-ILL i Among the many of Ontario s .sons who helped to lay the founda- lgtions of the Canadian West is Will~ Iiam Richard Motherwell, who claims Laiiark County as the place of his ;birth. Going West like many other ;`young men, Saskatchewan lured the young man to its broad and unpeo- pled area in 1882, where he became a pioneer homesteader, an in suc- jceeding years a highly successful ifarmer. Such a man could not es- lcape a call to public duty, and thus ihe became the first president of the isaskatchewan Grain Growers Assoc-' Iiation, and, in 1905, became Minister! of Agriculture for Saskatchewan, where he rendered an important ser~ vice in the interest of his adopted ifprovince. - _ } T|.I'.. 1u'_;_L ,,,, n I- Some time ago The Examiner made reference to the wire fence company bonus `by-law submitted to the ratepayers of Whitby and ques- tioned the wisdom of the town taking up such a proposition. The nancial editor of_ the Toronto Saturday Night evidently is of the same opinion. In replying to a Whitby subscriber, this nancial editor says! I do not see why a corporation like the town of Whitby, Ont., should guarantee the bonds of any industrial corporation to the tune of fty thousand dollars, or any amount, in order to induce them to build in the town, It is risk- ing the taxpayers _ money on the success or failure of a speculative enterprise and is utterly indefensible in principle. If a company cannot nance itself without such assistance it immediately becomes questionable whether it is to the town's interest` to have such an industry. * * * * There has been a. high mortality among industrial companies` which have received heavy municipal aid ati the outset. There` is an increasing tendency among manufacturing rm: to look over the situation_ in small towns as a site for a factory. If towns are well advised, they would go after the prosperous and going ` companies and not dicker overly long with those which haveto be nanc- ed`?! . igwwwwmwwmmwmwwwg dollars should not stand in the way offgetting the best man. In making an appointment of this kind, where the whole enforcement of the law within the municipality is at stake, character and efficiency should be the first consideration.
