Accord- ]ingly. the following from a Dominion ichernment bulletin is timely. There are people who cannot understand any- thing fully without knowing its his- ltory and origin. or course, some do ,nct understand anyway. However, here is the bulletin's story of the origin of golf in Canada:â€" “Many worth-while things have been introduced or initiated in North Ameri- ca. as in other parts of the world. by the Scotch. The Royal and Ancient [game of golf owes its introduction to ' Canada to a Scottish sailor named Wil- lliam Dibman. who, probably anxious to lescapc the monotony of his ship for a while which was berthed at Quebec nearly 100 years ago, took himself and 'his clubs to the Plains of Abraham. and in solitary contentment introduced the Royal and Ancient game to the. Royal and Ancient City of Quebec. It? is said that Dibman was regarded by' those who saw him as of doubtful men- ‘ tal balance. “Since that Scottish enthusiast play-. ed golf on a spot where many years previously a battle was fought that re-l sulted in Canada passing from thel French to the British, golf courses have] come to be regarded as an essential part of almost every community in Canada, almost as much so as schools and churches."

We do well, at times, to Iquestion the judgment of our leaders." “And when the history of the present time comes to be written: it will be in- complete if it fails to note the part play- ed by a large section of the press, both daily and, weekly, in doing just what is suggested in the last sentence of the above quotation. There is an attitude of questioning to be discerned in the contemporary press Which is clearly a reflection of public opinion. There is to-day a spirit of disatisfaction on the part of the public, with the manner in which the country’s leaders are failing to lead. The public is not content to wait for better times to come: they de- sire to see some action taken to bring better times. of a permanent charac- ter. This current attitude is voiced _in the following paragraph which recent- ly appeared in the editorial columns of the Toronto Starzâ€"It is pre:ty gener- ally agreed that some change for the betterment in the unequal distribution at wealth under our capitalist system will have to be made. The world de- pression. the slump, the millions of un- employed in a world fat with foods and goods reveal the imperfection oi the capitalist system as it has been operated. Nearly all who discuss the Iworld and though things may look well lnigh hopeless. yet with wisdom and Scourage on the part of governments 'and financial and industrial leaders Eout of the muck and mire of the pre- isent depression may come a better world. We say may, for though wis~ dam and the ultimate goody may indi- [cate a course of action, it by no means Efollows that that course will be adopt- ed. While the ultimate growth and development of human society int. something bigger and finer than as at present constituted, is almost a fore- gone conclusion, yet the immediate de- velopments are not nearly so certain. Have our leaders, governmental, indus- trial and financial, up to the present, shown either the inclination or capa- city to really lead the country to some- thing better? Have these leaders at- tempted a reconstruction of the indus-} trial and financial structure with the object of overcoming the basic causes of these recurrent depression periods. Signs of the Times “Though the world may be at pre- sent enveloped in the blackness of de- pressions, with governments at their wit's end to know which way to turn, and hardly any two experts able to agree on what should be done, signs and indications are not wanting that the processes of evolution are..§tfll busily at work. The world is now, as it never has been in the past, a. changing It is remarkable how many news- papers are discussing ideas along this line. In The Northland Post. of Cochrane, a week or so ago there was a lengthy editorial that deserves study. It may non convince all on all points but its ideas are certainly worthy of study. It is given below, practically in full:â€" Wealthy Must Bear More of Their Shm of the Burden of Taxation. Also Must Show More Patriotism.

The Star elabor- ates this idea with the use of a neat sirm'le, by comparing human society to a hive of beeszâ€"Organized society has begun to do for the individual money- gatherer what the bee-owner does for the bee. It makes everything ready for himâ€"lays everything beside his hand. It provides him with his hive, admirably constructed for his purpose, with comb foundation, honey cells, and puts his hive in a blossoming orchard close to great fields of clover and buck- wheat. In other words the individual finds available to his needs telephone] telegraph. radio, railway, motor ve-l hicles, roads level as tables, flyingj machines, newspapers, fire brigades, pol- ice forces, post emces, hydro power,} electric lights to make night into day.l‘ Why then should not the state, like the1 bee-owner, gather honey as a crop, tak- ing most from the hive where the most is, on the assumption that it was placed‘ among the richest clover. l “There is no doubt that an increase in the income tax, particularly on the higher incomes, would not only be the most equitable way of increasing gov- ernment revenues but it would also be in line with public Opinion. As the Star says. “Men who are rich often say that its not the wealth they covet, achievement is what has kept them pressing on," and as proof of the utter uselesnas of great wealth in itself. we have had the tragic spectacle of two subject admit that some change. some improvement must be applied but most of them declare that they do not know what the change must be. ”5:3! - Enigma?

(we do not recollect having seen any sug- gestion in the Financial Post favouring an increase in the income tax, but then that paper is too busy trying to reduce wages and government expenditures to deal with really basic matters) but in view of the support accorded the idea. by a large part of the press, it is surely worth consideration by the government. This agitation for an increase in the income tax is not actuated by envy on the part of the small fellows toward the big fellows, nor is it aimed at the incomes of those of moderate means. As Senator Long. of Louisiana. recent- ly said, in a radio address. “It is not the man with one million, two or three, or even ten million dollars, who is the menace to the country, but the man‘ with hundreds of millions and while “Another outspoken advocate of a higher income tax is the New Liskeard .Speak‘er. Referring to this all-impor- Ltant question. our contemporary says: On Monday last in the House of Comâ€" mons Mr. Lucas, URA. member, spon- sored a resolution favouring an increase of the tax on income more particularly as regards to millionaires and multi- millionaires. The members seemed to be favourable, but the Finance Minis- ter is not yet prepared to go into this matter fully. We believe everyone ex- cept. the millionaires believe that this is the correct system of taxation, espeâ€" :"ally when the world is in its present state, but these very rich persons have such an immense influence it seems next to impossible to get the money from them. If the Bennett Govern- ment by any means can make the rich pay as much in proportion to their wealth as the average business man has to pay there will be plenty of money in circulation in Canada to keep all the people comfortably. We hope Hon. Mr. Rhodes. Finance Minister, will be very successful in his effort to tax the very rich. And further, we hog-'2 the mem- bers of Parliament will not allow the very rich to influence them. It is up to the members, and it is up to their constituents to see that they stand by the Finance Minister if he does what at present he seems inclined to do. Re- luctance to tax the rich has been the weak spot in the taxing system of all our governments ever since Confedera- tion. There is ample machinery for. making the poor man pay. Let there be an ample machinery for making the rich pay profits, running them even at a loss.l giving away the products they could not sell, anything to keep things going. That sounds like a serious demand to! make upon the wealthy. It is not as! much as they are forcing humbler men! to endure. Whatever plan may be. adopted to’ enforce the remedy, the! remedy itself seems plain enough. For the immediate present it seems to be the providing of work to assure em-i ployment so that thabnrden of life may not be too great upon the many nor too I light upon the few. â€".

Better still, they could revive the industries from which they once made “SEAN K. 0‘ NOVA S COTIA BANKWETH Us BY MAIL Capital $12,000,000; Reserve Fund $24,000,000; Total Resources; $265,000,000 Timmins Branch: W.

Ontario and ionawa governments have taken step E to me rease taxation, not only of mines ibut also of other industries. On the face of it there is only partial discri- {minazion against mining. But a short period of reflection shows that mining costs must now begin to rise, for the simple reason that the manufacturers: and others who supply the min-es with equipment and materials will now calm- ly advance their prices to cover in- creased Operating costs, to allow the iozmer margin of profit. But the mines cannot in turn puss on this cost to consumers of mineral products. The price of metals is set in the world mar- ket, just as the price of wheat is. “In this game of tax tag the mine is “it." This situation is one which mine shareholders cannot afford to regard with equanimity. "We doubt very much if the run of Canadian citizens realize to what ex- tent and in what manner mining is taxed. The fact is that taxes are pyramided and likewise hung on to it at every convenient place, until the in- dustry is in danger of buckling at the knees." | HT | l One of the editorials in The North- ern Miner last week reads as follows: “Shareholders of Canadian mining companies are well aware that; their company executives have been engag- ed for years in a battle against costs. Sharehalders know that this fight has been a highly successful one, until to- day Canadian mine costs compare fav- ourably with those of any other cun- “Usually the farmer is an indivi- dualist, and the Communist is found in the cities.
