Mn: is} 'e, ‘3? The parliament of Canada for the first time in very many years, was in session on Ash Wednesday. The session was held on mo- tion of the Prime Minister. Some Yeats ago Sir Robert Borden proposed like action, but there was a storm of protest from the French mem- hers. The present ministers of justice and customs held up their hands in holy horror at the thought of parliament meeting on a re- ligious holiday. What was a crime when pro- posed by Sir Robert Borden is a meritorious act when performed by the Right Hon. Mac- kenzie King. The government is doing every- thing in its power to shorten the session ex- 1;ept stop the flow of talk from Hon. Mr. Mo- therweil, "V In one year the net production, according to the "Canada Year Book," amounted to $2,- 728,000,000, while the grand total of taxes col-, liictied in the same year, Dominion, Provincial and Municipal, amounted to $627,902,000. In other words, one-fourth of the annual net pro- duction of Canada was used up in taxes. Un- der such a public burden it is very difficult, if not impossible, to re-establish Canadian busi- ness and restore prosperity. There must be greater economy on the part of individuals and governments before progress can be made, and there is not much sign of it. in the records of governing bodies anywhere. The City of Hamilton has been spending $1000 a week for relief, of, the unemployed. To this must be added the very considerable sums that are spent every day by the social organi- zations and church societies, a record of which is never made public. The closing of some in- dustries and the weakening of others since the tariff changes has resulted in conditions in that city which were never-before equalled. As in days gone by in Canada, protection means prosperity. Anything approaching free trade the opposite. an additional sum of $35,000,000 had been bor- rowed in New York in addition to the large commitments of last fall. "Mr. Marler sees," says The Gazette, "the ultimate remedy in the carrying of more freight and passengers, by a policy of encouragement of, immigraton, but he does not overlook the fact that a substantial reduction could be made by lopping off some of the extravagant and wasteful duplication that now exists. Granted that the country, with its nine million people, is overbuilt with railways, does it not appear to be an act of sheer madness to intensify this condition by the duplication of trains, of, advertising and by a cut-throat policy of equipping coaches, sta- tions and offices with luxurious" appointments with the sole object of bringing prestige to the road? If the railways continue this policy in spite of warnings, the sorely tried taxpayers will have to devise some effective restraints. PAGE TWO Discussing the railway situation, Mr. Mar- ler, member of the House of Commons for St. Lawrence and St. George division of Montreal, pointed out that during the fiscal years of 1921, 1922 1923, a sum of $314,000,000 for our State railways was paid out of the Dominion treasury, which is to say out of the pockets df the Canadian taxpayers, actual or potential, while a sum in interest of $74,500,000 was also lost, thus increasing our railway indebtedness during these years by $388,000,000. As the address pointed out, there is no indication that the end of such borrowings has been reached. Twopyteks ago announcement was made that "It has been suggested that we should have a seasonable duty for the protection of uur product in order to prevent the dumping of United States surplus fruit and vegetable products on Canadian markets. This, I am tif opinion, would not meet the case. The eonsumer would not, I take it, suffer material- ly by having the duty placed on vegetables at the port of entry The additional cost would be slight, and it would, to a certain extent, pro- tect our gardeners whose standard of living, all will agree, is higher than that of foreigners in the South.” T ' "On top of all these handicaps, our markets are being flooded with trainload after train- load of vegetables from the semi-tropical sed- tion of the United States and grown by the cheap negro labor of the South. The free trade theories that are being discussed in this coun- try are a waste of time, living as we do along- side a nation of 120,000,000 of people who have built a wall as high as Haman's gallows to pro- tect their growers against their neighbors here in Canada. Another point that is unfair to the men who are helping tp pay the heavy taxation burden of this country is, to quote you a spe- cific instance-carlo/is of pears were brought into this country by canning companies, put up in tins and exported again, and these were practically free bf duty, while hundreds of or- chards in this country were loaded with pears .which could not be sold for the cost of grow- ing. “Many thousands of baskets of tomatoes, cherries and other fruits and vegetables were left rotting in orchard and field in 1924 as the high cost of transportation, fees to commission and middlemen and the containers, made it im- possible to ship to markets without incurring heavy 1055,50. that the rotting process was in- evitable. [ Addressing a convention of fruit and vege- table growers, ’Mr. J. Lockie Wilson, whn has for many years taken an active interest in all matters pertaining to the welfare of those fn- 'gaged in agriculture, expressed the following views regarding the conditions and needs of the /ryit-jrrowGg industry: gt, NEEDS OF FRUIT-GROWERS hiya/34 - -d a--- -V n... “was“ puuusu. n UCLLCL 1tuucuy is to be found by following the examples of the United States, Australia, Japan and France --by imposing sufficient import duty on Ger- man products to equalize the cost of manufac- ture there with that of Canadian labor here. Whatever the political creed of the individual, be he farmer, manufa,cturer or worker, there can be no difference of opinion on the princi- ple of equalizing production costs in this direc- tion, for unless the Canadian workman is will- ing to endure the servitude of his fellow Teu- ton, with his wage and standard of living, prompt action must be taken to shut out the German 'cheapjack,' protect the industries of the Dominion and retain jobs for factory and man, There is no other way out !" Discussing the German menace to the in- dustries of Canada, the Canadian Machinery and manufacturing newsin a recent issue, has the following: "No, helpful as it might be, a boycott is far from enough. A better remedy 2.‘L.\1__r, 11 fmq . __ Canadian Congress, official magazine of Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, has the following comment on Mr. Meighcn's declaN-. tion of policy contained in resolution now be- fore the House of Commons: "Mr. Meighen's declarations in favor of the creation of a tariff commission representative of the three great classes of Canadian industry, namely, agricul- tural, manufacturing and labor, and entrusted with the duty of studying Canadian tariff problems, and clothed with power to deal with cases where it finds unfair advantage is being taken of protective duties by recommending to the Government the removal or reduction of tariff schedules, or by imposing special excise taxes upon products in respect of which such advantage is taken, comes close to incorporat- ing the platform of organized labor in this respect." In twenty years England reduced its infant mortality from 155 per 1000 births to 80 per 1000. New York in the same period reduced it from 180 to 78 per 1000. In one single ru- ral parish in Canada 79 children under one year of age died out of 200 births. There is no good reason why the death rate in a rural district should be five times as great as in crowded New York. The remedy is available. Proper care, cleanliness, and regularity will save thousands who are now sacrificed because of neglect, which is usually the outcome of ignorance. From time to time evidences of dishonesty in connection with the acceptance of assist- ance from charity funds are revealed. Seldom has anything more contemptible been brought to light than the conduct of an Ottawa man, who, although the owner of a farm and of three houses, accepted $60 from the relief fund of the Social Service Department. When the discovery was made he acknowledged his dis- honesty, gave his cheque for the $60, and was allowed to go without public exposure. [Too often the deserving are forced to suffer be cause of the grasping tendencies of such un- scrupulous persons. ' Prbvincial elections will be held in Saskat- chewan in the early summer. After which it is said Premier Dunning will become a mem- ber of a reconstructed Dominion cabinet. Sas- katchewan has been controlled by Liberals since it was made a province. Under the lead- ership of Mr. Anderson, the Conservatives are making good progress, and will be an impor- tant factor in the next house. To add to the already heavy burdens and annoyances of publishers, A. W. Neill, of Brit- ish Columbia, has given notice of a bill to pro- vide that all documents or pamphlets printed for distribution shall hear on them the name of the publishers, and that the publisher him- self shall keep, for a certain' time, a register of those who have contributed to the docu- ments in question. The real significance of these figures is not the expenditure it takes to supply these eight hundred and ninety families with enough food for bare existence-although that it is a steadily mounting burden. It is the condition they reveal in a city like Ottawa where social life is said to be on a comparatively high leyel. Unemployment and charity are the disintegrt- ting forces mainly at work, sapping women and children of vitality and men of their moral fibre. No, the cost need not be counted in the money spent on grocery orders, but in the low- ered vitality, the mental suffering and the con- sequent illness, inefficiency, restlessness and despondency of many of these four thousand men, women and children who are driven to seek relief from the community which cannot give them work and, independirnce.--Citiaen. The report submitted to the Ottawa Board of Control by the Social Service Department, covering its activities for January, is worth passing notice. A total of 897 families were helped by the department during last month, as compared with 685 in December, and 594 in January, 1924. These families included 2,- 646 children, which brings the total number of persons in this city who have to depend upon relief for the bare necessities of life to well over four thousand. There were 237 Protest- ant families, 654 Roman Catholic families, and six of other denominations. No Jewish fami- lies asked for aid Approximately one person out of thirty is living on civic charity. CONDITIONS IN OTTAWA 85 King St. I Phone 1 SUNDAY, MARCH 8th, 1925 JI unn,---Publie Worship.
