Why not encourage home producnon? 'l‘he- birth-rate in On- tario is notoriously low. It is less - than that of France which is the low- est in Europe. Then. if it is desir- able to obtain a more numerous pop. ulation. and if the birth-rate in Can- ?ada is low, why no: grant a bonus ’for the propagation Of children and embezdize families of a certain size. Bonus~s are commonly given to fac- tories, subsidies are commonly grant- ed to corporations, then why not give bonuses and subidies to encour- age the production of babies? If it i is desirable to increase penulation,l increase it by natural means. Thei editor then goes on tu sta'e that the cast of rearing and mainiaining a child to the age of sixteen is about a. thouSand dollars, which sum is too high and has the efleCt of discourag- ing matrimony. He then proceeds to fix the amounts of the bonus ii. each case. $100 for one baby, 8300 for twins, and $50 per year for each I child in a family of more than three.
