Young boys and girls from apparently good homes do things that are shocking to the com- munity and brand them as criminals. Is our educational system at fault; or is there some other cause ? From observations we are inclined to think that the picture shows are largely to blame. Some pictures on ' the screen may be all right and have educational value, but too often these pictures have a degrading ef- fect. The minds of children are very succeptible to impressions and boys especially are hero worshippers. A screen picture showing re arms used or lude scenes has a debasing effect, and should never be seen by the young. During the last year German- made goods imported to Canada. have increased 400 per cent. and this country is flooded with various lines of German goods that made right at home. The low rate of wages paid in Germany and the inferior material used makes it im- possible for Canadian factories to compete in the matter of price. The duvmpinp: clause is only applied when German-made goods are sold at a lower rate than the current rate in Germany, and not appraised on the basis of value of similar goods in Great Britain. A great many manu~ factu-rers of toys and small articles in Canada have to close their doors as they cannot begin to compete.

Such a showingz; as as indicated above is regarrled by the Provincial ` Treasurer and by the members of the Government with considerable satisfaction. When it is considered that the Government increased its revenue by over $6,000,000 without the imposition of additional taxes 4 and simply by a more careful policy of collection, and that it also oper- ated under estimates which it had not framed, the record is thought to be one highly creditable, and in it is seen the promises of a balanced Provincial budget within the next two years at the latest. Hon. Mr. Price is anxious to place the Pro- vincial debt upon a sinking fund basis and he stated that in the re- cord achieved in the past year he saw auspicious promise of being able to full his ambition. No New Taxation What is perhaps of greatest im- poitance to the general public in connection with the year's nancial record is the fact that it will in- fluence the Government to no new taxation measures, with the probable exception of the gasoline tax which has already been intimated. Hon. Mr. Price was asked if there would be any new taxation upon munici- palities or upon income, and he re- plied in the negative. The present revenue, swelled by the gasoline tax, is expected to prove sufficient for the estimates which the Govern- ment will prosent to the House.

It will also be noted that the Attorney- General s Deparrtment has increased its revenue by $283,728.23, anti that even the Ediuczbtion Department has increased $88,165.90, and the Mines and Fishenies Department $76,`.34U.- 12, wihle the Department of Hefllldl and Labor has increase its receipts $172,270.28. The Provincial Secre- tary's Department has charge of the larxre hospitals and public institu- tions. It is, therefore, worthy of note that they increased their re- ` venue by $288,290.86, and the De- partnient of Am-iculrture has also done well in increasing its revenue by $145,819.21.
