The Northern News last week says:â€"‘‘Mr.~Clair Severt arrived in town on Mondav from 'hmmms for a short visit here.‘ The speaker told of the agricultural advantages of the North Land and asâ€" sured the meeting that it was not a land of rocks and forests entir ély. Fertile land, could be acquired at as Iow as 30 cents an acre, he said, and it eontained eight to ten cords of palpwood, whicth could readily be conâ€" verted into cash. s Explaining how the North Ldnd could solve the problems of Ontario, the speaker said that if raw materials were taken advantage of. industries would be made busy in finishing the output into the finished prodnct and employment would be provided the laboring classes. It would follow that they would create a market for farm produce and all classes would share the benefits. ‘‘The sales tax collected from the manufacturer is added to the cost of his product and is paid by the conâ€" sumer. The laboring classes and the farmers are paying the greatest porâ€" tion of taxation today. I believe that they are suffering to greater extent than any other class but development of our natural resources can overâ€" come this condition.‘‘ ‘‘Total taxes of Federal, Provincia! and municipal governments amount to $100 a year, and against this there is an indebtedness of $500 per capita against every resident of the Dominâ€" ion. We reached the limit of taxation. **There is in the North Land raw material, development of which will bring into this country a flow of wealth, and there was never a time when there was a greater need for it than today. ‘Ontario is faced with a deficit of $15,000,000 and it is not a bookâ€"keeping dabt; it is a real ganuâ€" ine one. sum means a direct asâ€" sessment of $5 per head on every resiâ€" dent of Ontario. possibilities. One of the suggestions that he made was to the effect that che North Land offered a solution for the burdensome taxation suffered at present. Develop the resourcesd of the country, he pointed out, and the taxâ€" ation problem will be well on the way to solution. Nome months ago an editorial article in The New Liskeard speaker suggested that the North Land in years past, through the wealth coming from its timber reâ€" sources, had saved Ontario from diâ€" rect taxation. It is only fitting that The Speaker should now emphasize Hon. Mr. Lyons plan whereby the North may now assist. all Ontario from the present burden of taxation. Last week The. Speaker gave due prominence to the address by Hon. Mr. Lyons, quoting press despatches relating to the speech, as follows:â€"â€" ‘*‘In Nortiihern »Ontario there is an investment of $13,000,000 in the pulp ndustry and.thousands of people are employed. There is also an investment of $75,000,000 in saw mills, with 22,â€" 000 people employed. These figures will give you some idea of the benefit which acerues for the whole of the Province as well as the North Land. We shonld extend the development of our mineral and forest resources, for production of raw materials will asâ€" sist those who manufacture it into finâ€" ished product and the whole province will share the success. ‘We, in the North, support Ontario manufacturâ€" ing in the purchase of all our supâ€" plies. world know the opportunities availâ€" able to those ready to build up the mnining industries of the North Land. Hon. Jas. Lyons has shown an equalâ€" ly effective goodwill in his attitude towards the ‘North Land, so far as concerns his department in the Govâ€" ernmentâ€"tlhe Department of Lands Forests. Hon. Mr. Lyons appears to have a thorough knowledge of the North and its needs and possibilities. He is ready and able on all occeasions to preach the gospel of the North. With him, it is no foolish ery of ‘*Let‘s }%00%’ _ or other meaningless slogan. He presents his case in forceâ€" ful way, and properly leaves his able advocacy to do the ‘*boosting."‘ In a recent address at Hamilton Hon. Mr. Lyons gave a big audience a lot to think upon and consider, and undoubtedly his address will result in attracting much of the rigtht kind ot attention to the North Land and its possibilities. One of the suggestions an apt way of stating those resources. and an intelligent anxiety to let the On several occeasions The Advance has taken oceasion to point out the good work done by the two Ontario Cabinet Ministers who may*%e said to particularly represent the North Land. Hon. Chas. MeCrea, Minister of ‘Mines, has a surprisingly wide knowledge of the mineral resources, Limit of Taxation Reached, but North Land Wealth Developed May Aid ‘the Province to Success, Sugâ€" gests Hon.
