lower level of government spending will restore investor confidence in the economy The premier was commenting on brief from the On tario Chamber of Commerce which predicted the provin cial unemployment ratenow seven per cent will not improve during the next year and might get worse unless there were changes The seriousness of the situation is reflected by budget deficit financing which have been piling up borrowing and has left the province with little room to manoeuvre in economic policy The government did save taxpayers from even heavier interest burdens by borrowing from pension plans to financeits deficits but the Chamber of Commerce is cer tainly right in its contention that it would have been more sound to cut back on spending so it could follow payas yougo policy It was perhaps only to be expected that this would pro voke challenges as to wheretax spending money could be saved Some of the answers were touched upon during the spring election campaign when critics referred to the myriad of boards commissions and agencies which created what were described as an administrative nightmare To be fair of course it must be recognized that there are certain increases in expenditures which cannot be helped such as increased social services cost pushed up by rising unemployment The MPPs themselves have not escaped criticism when they voted themselves pay increases right after the economy talk of the last election campaign And second $2500 boost was approved to start in October unless there is constructive secondthoughts concerning such an example when urging restraints Considerable savings might be effected through proper decentralization of some of the powers over local affairs which were long the responsibility of local governments closest to the people concerned The mounting Ontario debt has not reached the alarm ing proportions of the Federal government which has been receiving growing attention of late But the interest payments are said to be running at about $2000 minute Like other tax spending this all has to come out of the pockets of taxpayers down memory lane 20 YEARS AGO IN BARBIE From The Examiner September 22 1957 Despite low

Graham Bell invented the telephone in Brantford nt or Boston Mass Parkinson gives the credit for its com mercial succch to Thomas Edisons in vention of thc microphone in 1878 The Americans adopted the telephone faster and in much larger numbers than did the Britishmlmcausc UK court had held that the telephone was telegraph That meant that it fell within thc monopoly of thc Post lficc which apparently had littlc com mercial intercst in promoting the tclcphonc But in the United States the telephone soon bccamc an accc tcd art of thc Amcricun way of life an by tc latc 19305 Amcricnn Iclcphonc and Telegraph had bccomc the worlds biggest busincss in terms of capital assets The tclcphonc is inscparnblc from Big Business Parkinson says It can cvcn be argued that Big Business without

other day One of them was from the NDP paper the New Democrat and piece written by Gerald Caplan In recent years Ca lan has been the chief NDP braintruster master minded their 1975 and 1977 election cam paigns In the piece Caplan said that economics was the main NDP bugaboo The Globe followed this up with an in terview with Stephen Lewis The retiring par ty leader said One of the real deficiencies in my leader ship was that was never able to clarify adequately the NDPs proficiency with the economy Then he added that he personally was never comfortable with economic issues Regular readers of this column providing there are some will not be surprised by this For consistently over the years and par ticularly in recent months the point has been made that the great NDP weakness has been in economics CORE ECONOMICS But this NDP incident is really only in cioentat to much larger question This question is just how do we possibly get the public the press and even our politicians aware of and understanding economics and our economic problems of today As those regular readers again know con sider our economic problems as the core problems of today Certainly they arent understood And not by public press or politicians When this is faced and one tries to think now it can be overcome he can only be dish eartened OVER HEADS For when they got into an economic era as they have public affairs and politics have gone into an ethereal climate They are not matter of building roads health insurance or even moral standards questions which have occupied as historically and recently in politics These could be grasped even by untutored minds and fairly rational opinions formed on them But economics and economic problems are another matter They are complex largely airy and im precise economists notably disagree widely among themselves Only mammoth educational job could get them appreciated in their full context the many sides of each question Canadas srory Mode treaty with Indians By BOB BOWMAN In the days of western develo ment one of the most colorful treaties Cana madewith the Indians was achieved on Sept 22 1877 It was also one of the most timely as it helped to prevent possible war between the Blackfeet in southern Alberta and Sitting Bulls Sioux who had settled in the Cypress Hills area of southern Saskatchewan The treaty with the Blackfoot Confederacy was signed at Blackfoot Crossing south of presentday Calgary Negotiations took several days with Lieutenant Governor Laird formerly of Prince Edward Island representing the federal government He was guarded by 108 members of the North West Mounted Police who brought along 119 horses and two ninepoundcr guns Nobody it seems counted the Indians but they had about 15000 horses and just about as many barking dogs They were led by Chief Crowfoot one of the great riders of the plains who always carried an umbrella that someone had given him He was highly in telligent man Other Indian signers of the treaty were Chiefs Old Sun Red Crow Bears Paw and Morning Plume Crowfoot was the first to sign the treaty and said it would be the last to break it In return for the surrender of their hunting grounds the Indians were given reservations based on 640 acres per family and annual payments of $5 per person Chiefs and headmen received $25 and $15 per year Many other items were provided such as tools plows yokes of oxen and cattle Thcrc wurc grants of $1000 to In dians who engaged in agriculture for three years While the treaty was being signed about 500 Blackfoot braves in feathers and war paint lloped around the police camp yelling and iring their Winchester rifles Meanwhile further to thc cast Sittin Bulls Sioux were tryigto get them to join em in campai to wipe out
