HRâ€"431 Canada Northern Power Corporation Limited ‘Objects and Uses of ‘the Dominion Census NORTHERN ONTARIO POWER COMPANY. LIMITED NORTHERN QUEBEC POWER COMPANY. LIMITED Census Data Necessary for Parliamenâ€" tary Representation. Gives Analysis of the Man Power of the Counâ€" Ever since the announcement of the taking of the Dominion census on June ist there have been questions as to its value and the methods of taking it. The Advance has made many referâ€" ences to the 1931 census because it is CENERAL@ELECTRIC CONTROLLING AND OPERATING For Sale by recognized that the success of census depends largely upon the coâ€"operation of the people, As the Dominion Staâ€" tistican has phrased it, "Without genâ€" eral appreciation of the ends in view, and without the cordial assistance of individual citizens towards those ends, a good census will be impissible." Several times recently The Advance Ias been asked "what use is the census?" "Is it worth what it costs?" The Doâ€" minion Statistician has written an anâ€" swer to these questions, his article in this regard as sent to The Advance las: week reading as follows:â€" Objects and Use; of the Census. With the census of ancient times we would today have little sympathy. Originally the census was no more than a means of mustering men for foreign wars and of enabling kings and oligarâ€" chies to tax their subjects. ‘So far are we romoved from this concert:ion that it is now expressly forbidden to use census data for any such purposes. In Canada the fundamental legal raison d‘etre of the census is to deterâ€" mine the repreosentation in our federal Parliament. As is well known, the Briâ€" tish North America Act gave the Proâ€" vince of Quebec a fixed number of seats (sixtyâ€"five) in the Dominion House of Commons. The number assigned to ‘the c:her provinces was pro rata, with in arrangement that the first readjustâ€" ment should take place on the comâ€" sleticn cf the census of 1871, and that 2 similar readjustment should follow every subsequent decennial census. The con:us is thus taken primarily to enable i redistribution bill to be passed by Parliament. Bui the census has far wider uses than to fix electoral representation. It constitutes, in fact, under the modern system, nothing less than a great periâ€" pdicsal stocktaking of the Canadian designed to show from the widâ€" "HE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO est angle the point that has been reached in the general progress of the nation. It is difficult within brief comâ€" pass to explain how this functton is fulâ€" filled. Fundamentally, the importance of the census hinges upon its analysis of the human or man power of the country. The pisople themselves after all are the basic asset of every state. Their numbers, sex, age, cccuâ€" pation, racial origin, language, educaâ€" tion, etc., etc., are facts in themselves of the greatest moment. They consâ€" titute, â€" moreover, the background against which almost all other facts musi be projected if the latter are to have real significance. The well being of the stateâ€" physical, moral, econâ€" omicâ€" (including such varied phases as birth and death rates, education, transportation facilities, financial conâ€" ditions, eic..) with its converse in any form, can be apprehended and interâ€" preied only through the medium of pcpulaticn statistics. Even if the Cenâ€" sus went no farther it would ‘be the basis of all study of our soccial and concmic conditions. Linked with cther official data, however, it rounds cut the scheme cof information by which as by a chart the Government directs the national affairs Without the census, it is literal truth to say Anat legislation and administration would be carried on in the dark, and that there wculd be no means of knowâ€" ‘rg whether the country was on the road to suctess or disaster,. So coâ€" gently is this felt that censuses at five year intervals, instead of ten, are unâ€" iversally advocated, the chief drawback being the heavy cost. As the practice of nations in regard to consusâ€"taking tends more and more to uniformity, the census affords the inestimable benefits of comparison with countries and enables our naâ€" ticnal problems to be studied in their general setting. Especially is this true of the countries which constitute the British Empire. The censuses of the various Dominions, India and the Crown Colonies are now taken in the same year and within a few weeks of each other; so that when the results are completed we shall have a large and harmonious body of data at comâ€" mand for the sudy not only of the reâ€" lations of the dominions inter se bui also of the place of the Empire as a whole among the nations of the world. As a result of the work of the Interâ€" national Institute of Agriculiure, which has been investigating the requirements of a Census of Agriculture and the means by which it can be made unâ€" iform in as far as prossible for ail countries, we will now have for agriâ€" culture a body of data which can be compared with those of other countries. countries. Start Crossâ€"Cutting on the Ashley Vein The Mail and Empire editorial Ssays:â€" The last Government report on "Labor Organization in Canada‘" conâ€" tains a reference to Communism in Canada, from which we gather that our Communists try to imitate the methods of terrorism which prevail in Russia. Six of the party formed a loâ€" cal Workmen‘s Recreation Club, whose Oobject was declared to be receation in the form of card games, dances, quoits and badminton for the younger members, together with even quieter forms of entertainments for the older members. The recréationists were promptly summoned to the District Exâ€" ecutive Commitie Bureau to exrplain their position. One of them said that they had a perfect right to organize this club and that they did not consider "The Worker, the official organ of the Communists party in Canada, ridiculed the idea that a trade union was nonâ€" politcial and claimed that even a pionâ€" eer would detest the lying dishonesty of such a defense. It declared that the cynical dishonesty and open disregard of party dicipline placed these men outside of the ranks cof the revolutionâ€" ary party cf the Canadizan working Shaft is Down Now to 125 Feet on Matachewan‘s First Property, According to Official Reports / it necessary to consult any party burâ€" eau about it, either. Moreover, he adâ€" ded that the club is nonâ€"political like some trade unions. Another was more emphatic. "I don‘t give a tinker‘s damn what decision your bureau makes. You can go jump in the creek." Two despatches last week in regard to Matchewan are of special interest. The first one is as follows:â€" "Official word on the Ashley Gold property, under Mining Corporation, at Matachewan, is that the shaft is now down approximately 125 feet in depth, where the first station will be opened, and cross cutting to the vein started. The immediate objective of the shaft is 250 feet, which would be attained someâ€" time next month. While the first level will be opened, the real attack in lateral work will later be done simultaneously on the two levels With crossâ€"cutting at the 125â€"foot level on the Ashley about to start, it is estimated it will require some 50 feet of work, covering about a week‘s time, to find the Ashley vein at that depth. The incline shaft parallels the vein. In the same work it is expected the new powerâ€"houses vein, which ran highâ€"grade, will be cut about 30 feet away from the shaft, judging by its dip. This powerhouse vein has been accepted by Mining Corporation as an important asset, through its highâ€"grade, even thought quite narrow. It appearâ€" ed unexpectedly in excavating for the powerâ€"house, and from that derives its name. It was in the shaftâ€"making at between 75 and 85â€"foot depth." People in Timmins, especially those who have studied their tax bills just received for the current year, will think, perhaps, that the above "deâ€" mands‘" are the limit. But it would seem that the communists are not stopped by many considerations. It would not be surprising if the next "demand" from the communists was that all sports be stopped. This sugâ€" gsestion arises from an editorial article in The Mail and Empire last week. This article sugges:s that the comâ€" munists object to quoits and badminton so what will they say to hcckey, baseâ€" ball, tennis and cribbage. the communists demanded that all games but their own Russian game be prohibited? The second despatch reads:â€""Acâ€"} cording to word received at the office of the udbury Diamond Drilling Comâ€" pany, the machine which was shipped in to Matachewan for the Arno Mines, Limited, has been delayed in transit at Moyneur‘s Landing by the Spring breakâ€"up on the Montreal River, Meanâ€" while a road has been cut from the river to the Hurd claims, a distance of | seven miles, and driller‘s camps erected in preparation for the arrival of the| drill. From latest information received here it is thought the drill should be at ; the property by this time." | The communists in Timmins have besn free and ready in the matter of their ‘"demands‘" upon the tewn council and the Dominion and Provincial sovernments. They have demanded a sevenâ€"hour day; a fiveâ€"day week; a wage of $25.00 per week whether workâ€" ing or not; and last week they deâ€" manded that the town council provide tickets and cash for board and lodging for the unemployed, ‘"on the basis of the above demands," as they expressed it on their genuine "hand‘"‘ bills. Communists Object to Quoits and Badminton class, "Our movement will forge ahead unhampered by these fighters of the right wing:; we will proceed with our Communist tasks while these renegades will potter around with their card playâ€" ing, dances, quoits, badminton, etc., in their attempts to develop quieter and less strenuous forms of activity for their club members." The recreationâ€" ists were expelled from the Communist ranks and The Worker declares that their expulsion will strengthen the party." Is Russia Preparing for Another W ar Soon? (From The Perth Expositor) Much has been written about Russia of late and quite probably much more will be written. Most of that written has been about the fiveâ€"year, pjan, and the Russian influence on the grain market. There is another side to the. Russian menace that has not been stressed, and which is scarcely realized by the average person. The Soviet leaders have stressed the fact over and. over again that Russia works for peace. There are many who believe it despite the very chbvious fact that at the botâ€" toem of most of the trouble in the world today can be found Soviet agitators. There are many who believe Russia is preparing for war. It is estimated by those familiar with the situation that Russia could mobilize an army of seventeen million men within thres months of the declaration of war. Of these some ten millica would be memâ€" bers of live regiments ‘and provide a rifle strength of that number. Within three weeks of the start of a war the Soviet is said to be capable of throwing three million fighting men into action. In addition the National leaders have been concentratiing upon supplies and keep permanently in reserve enough to last three montns. Anyone who thinks the purpose of the Soviet is to conver; the world peaceably to its docâ€" trines is astray on the question, for Russia will throw about as many rifles on the world market when the time comes as she is throwing wheat at the present time.

Friends wrote her name on the ballot, saying she had done the work anyhow. Many prospectors from different parts of Canada have obtained these collections from the Geological Survey and have found them a great aid. The price is fifty cents per set, postage preâ€" paid. Applications accompanied by a remittance of fifty cents in the form of a money order should be addressed to The Director, Geological Survey Deâ€" partment of Mines, Ottawa. The money order should be made payable to the Receiver General of Canada. PROSPECTOR‘S COLLECTON 0OF MINERAL SPECIMENS Prospectors will find the collection of mineral chips prepared by the Geoâ€" logical Survey of Canada of great asâ€" sistance for reference during the course of prospecting. The collection contains twenty â€" samples, including galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, corundum, chromite, stibnite and others of econoâ€" mic importance. This collection of mineral chips is also used for blow pipe work in high schools and universities. A prospector‘s set of rock chips may be obtained from the Geological Survey at the price of fifty cents per set, and this set is very useful in identifying rocks in the field.
