opp time Oltaw Otta w Ing At °. south P Sudbury this cen! The Ottawa Journal recently has had a number of able and reasoned articles showing why thé group of soâ€"called "hunger marchers‘" from Vanâ€" couver, Winnipeg, Windsor, Toronto, North Bay and other outside points should not be allowed to gather at Ottawa and parade there. In this The Advance has the greatest sympathy for The Otâ€" tawa Journal. But some time ago The Ottawa Journal did not have the slightest sympathy for The Advance when this newspaper protested fare. It is idle to say that the radio supplies this need toâ€"day. Despite all the boasting about the spread of the radio, only a small proportion of homes can enjoy that luxury, especially if the stories about the large numbers of people in Canâ€" ada, classed as being on relief at present are to be believed. In addition it may be noted that the music and drama presented at church entertainments is usually much superior to the tripe served up so often on the radio. Church entertainments are certainly to be preâ€" ferred to any other form of entertainment proâ€" vided at as little cost. It is doubtful if it is the duty of governments to attempt to force church and other organizations to follow any particular line of financing. It is absolutely the duty of every government to encourage the better class of entertainment and to discourage the les..lf worthy. It is at least to be surmised that a large percentage of church and allied entertainments’ are planned chiefly to provide clean and whole- some entertainment for performers and audiencex alike. This is the case also with local sport,s| events. It is regrettable that in shortsightedness | and haste, and in the dcsire to show its own! cleverness by doing something different, the preâ€"| sent Ontario government should penalize those; least able to bear the burden of questionable taxâ€" l ation. I mined to have amusement. There are people who may feel that the desire for amusement is carried too far, but there is no escaping the fact, and it seems to be equally true that governments at least owe it to the country not to discourage or destroy honest, wholesome amusement for the benefit of the less worthy. Local sports, church and charitable events at the very worst should not be singled â€" out for discrimination and hardship. The gengral attitude assumed by the newspapers of Ontario has been to centre the protests agaiirst the new amusement tax on its injustice and injury to local sports and to church and similar events. Only one neéwspaper has been noted so far in being partisan enough to uphold the Ontario governâ€" ment‘s illâ€"considered action in this matter. The Bowmanville Statesman suggests that if the churches wish to enter the amusement field to raise money they should not object to paying the amusement tax. Church work, it adds, should be maintained by freewill offerings only. While The Advance agrees that both church and charitable work is the better maintained by straight sub-} scriptions, there is little use in pretending that it | is easy to convince the people in general of thisj fact. Contrary to the suggestion of The Bowmanâ€" ville Statesman it is not a reflection on the pastor | when his people insist on entertainments. These entertainments usually are more necessary tci maintain interest and coâ€"operatian than as moneyâ€"makers. This is especially true in rural| sections. There are areas near to Bowmanville where people depend in large extent on church | | activities for their musical and dramatic bill of| very general protest has been made against the new amusement tax because it discriminates all the lowerâ€"priced entertainments and burdens local sports and church events. Under the former amusement.tax events charging 25 cents or less as admission fee were exempt from the tax. Ifocal sports, churches and charitable causes were specially favoured under the old act. and those who give the matter any serious thought wili agree that this was right. In this age of the world it seems to be a fact that people are deterâ€" mined to have amusement There are neonle who ® TIMMIN®, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Ascsclation; Orlario Quebes Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"PHMONESâ€"â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 * t css P P eP P ~AP P C «t stt P THE NEW AMUSEMENT TAXx | I‘immins, Ont Cle Yoarmupins Advanee | it seems to be a fact that p to have amusement.

No madam, it was not, but if you think it good, there is a local councillor who will likely take the credit for it | | With Toronto and Ottawa alive to the red racket, it should not be impossible to stop the whole criminal scheme carried on through the use of dupes who apparently are in more need of mediâ€" cal attention than either food or work. As The Advance has pointed out before, the whole comâ€" munist scheme is illegal in Canada. It advoâ€" cates openly the use of force and violence and its actual practices are at complete variance with the law. The leaders of this "racket‘" are known to the Dominion authoritiee. The arrest of the leaders in this illâ€"advised movement for the actual crimes that should be easy to prove against them would stop the exploitation of the shiftless and foolish. The arrest of certain leaders some years ago did much to help curb this evil racket. A complete roundâ€"up of the criminals interested in this criminal activity for their own personal gain' would be a decided advantage to Canada at this; time. were confined lightly on Ott menace as was the case with Hon.
