This is a little better than the Ccollections made at this time last year. Accordingly it will be generally considâ€" that taxes are being paid in pleasâ€" ing fashion this year. . The general feeling will be that taxes might well be little slower in commg in this year as compared wth 1932, so that if the amount collected this year exceeds that of last year‘s collections to the same date, then the record is aâ€"good one. The total amount of taxes in 1932 was $448,683.89. ‘This was for the two instalments. Last year the greater part of the taxes were paid in the latter part of the year.â€" The same is likely to be ‘true this year.

However, he did ‘say that his party was not adyocating violence or the use of force but thought the radical changes suggested might be made through conâ€" stitutional means. Mr. Woodsworth replied to a number of questions durâ€" ing the evening, several questions being asked him by one man prominent in the work of the alien agitators. Arnile Mr. Woodsworth‘s address was greeted with considerable applause at many points, the feeling of the majority of the thoughtful people present was one of disappointment at the indefinite naâ€" ture of the new political party. Mr. Woodsworth‘s reliance on generalities and broad statements disappointed many. Others were disappointed not to find him a more able speaker than him were D. McKenzie, Moise Maltais and others. J. S. Woodsworth was the only speaker for the evening and he elivered a clever political address. He ferred to the organization of the party of which he is the leader, the "C.C:P." as it is usually called. He outlined the policies which this new political group advocated.‘ He also told of the success of the organization of the CC.F. party in various sections of the Domonio The chief part of . his address touched. on what he considered"to beâ€"evilsâ€"about L. tb e l k [ The Goldfields theatre, Timmins was ‘filled to capacity on Sunday evening for the address by J.
