Some plan should be worked out whereby the coal could .be moved during the months of the year when the rolling stock would be otherwise unemploy- ed. If there were close co-operation between the miningvcompanies and the railways, it should be possible to move the~-bulk of the coal at :times_ when it `would interfere little with the grain movement, also to work out a freight `rate that would be of immense assistance in develop- ing Canada's coal industry _to the benet of theacitizens both individ- ually and collectively. at-a loss of $15,161, according. to` the official statement of the. secre- tary-treasufer.

The enquiry will be an extended one and there is little like- lihood of such legislation being ready for the next session. Premier Fer- guson, in referring to the gasoline tax, said it `seemed to o"er a means of taxing the motorist `according to the usage he made of the expensive. roads, but it was a question whether or not commercial vehicles should be included in such a measure. -Why should there be any exception in the case of motor trucks? ' These ve- hicles are very hard on roads and are entering into direct competition with the railways, so it is only right that they should be included in any pro- posed gasoline tax legislation.

A. H. '- Moore, M.A., delivered during a - course in journalism held at the Un- _ iversity of Toronto, on The Mission : of the Weekly Newspaper this sig- :' nificant_ paragraph was given: The . me`tropolita n daily gives its readers - a picture of world news at a glance. ' I heard.Premier Mackenzie King say - one day that the daily newspaper is a designed to give to the hurried man i of affairs, a glance at world events as an interlude between courses at . the breakfast table, and is then cast aside as he rushes out to his daily duties. `Not so the weekly. It is a visitor to the home. It is kept until time for leisure reading is found. It goes into homes where it is read from first to last.. It comes into in- timate contact with the people and can Pherefore deal far more intim-. atelylwith personal and community affairs. Because he realizes this and appreciates the importance of small , incidents as well as great events, the editor of the weekly paper is not impatient of these details, personal 2 items and local news of every des- cription and - character. He knows ` that somewhere he is cheering some ` `heart that feels its loneliness and " isolation, that he is enabling some 3 neighborhood to express its ,corpor- i ate life, to realize its existence and ,3 to feel that it, too, is an integral l part of the great world of affairs. ` is probably responsible for much-ofl the trouble.
