O>visucly, if Canada can expand its mining operations it can get rid of a lot c{ its unemployment. Some people say more mines could end unemployâ€" ment and therefore relief in Canads. Logically, then, the thing to do is get more min*s. The mining industry has declared that fair, just and stable taxaâ€" tion will tremendously accelerate minâ€" ing activity in Canada. The provinces recognized this and have stabilized taxes, and their action, plus the hope of Ottawa action, have already greatly stimulated the mineâ€"making business. If Ottawa gives tax encouragement, angd a reasonable measure 9f stability, this new activity will become a very solic and much biegger thing. Of course, if Ottawa fails there will be a bad letâ€" down; and the provinces will feel reâ€" lieved of their promises not to seek heavier taxes from the mines., However, An editorial last week say mine are 100 cent in miner. ing wages to t Extension of Mining Would Help Employment THURDAY, MAY TTH, 1836 .Oo-f""'o"”o"o t P PA AP L â€"AP L AL L P â€"AP C P P PP eP Bargain Coach Excursion 7 Pine St. N.

But any help, we say, will be stimulating. And It is good to that many of the most influential papers in Canada have reached the conclusion that something should be done, for the national welâ€" farse, to help mining. There is growing in Canada, among newspapers and the public, an enlightened appreciation of what the industry has done, is doing, and can do for the common good. This appreciatior is important. It has come withcut press agenting. Thoughtful men have reached their own conclusions and as a result we have a force in Canada which can accomplish great things toward its fullest, and fastest, growth."
