Big Brothers and Sisters The plea which was made at the Kiwanis Club luncheon for the establishment of a Big Brother and Sister Movement in Osh- awa is worthy of very serious considera- tion. Frank T. Sharpe, general seeretary of the Big Brotherhood Movement In Toronto, has had wide experience in this work, and he has proven beyond peradven- ture its value in saving young people from embarking on lives of crime. This object alone should make the pro- posal worthy of consideration by the peo- ple and organizations in Oshawa with an interest in the future citizenship of the community and country. There are S50 many conditions which can be corrected by proper guidance before the point of delinquency and crime is reached that it is worth a great deal of effort to try to correct them. Hundreds of boys and girls are in need of proper guidance and leader- ship in their impressionable years, and if the men and women of the community who can give this guidance will rise to their responsibilities, great things could be accomplished in decreasing juvenile delin- quency and crime. Rev. S. C. Jarrett, judge of the Oshawa juvenile court, is interested in this move- ment because of his experiences in that position. He had before him scores of boys and girls who only needed the kindly interest and guiding hand of a big brother or sister to set their feet on the right path. Isn't it worth while to provide that inter- est and guidance? Isn't it worth while to give to these boys and girls the helping influence that they need to guide their lives in the right direction? These are the questions which are involved in the pro- posal to establish a Big Brother and Sister Movement in Oshawa. If there is anything in 'which the leaders of the community should be interested in, it is this objective of saving our boys and girls for useful lives, instead of allowing them to drift-- *1i0 one knows where. The appeal made yesterday, made a deep impression on the Kiwanians. It is to be hoped that, as a result of the report of Mr. Sharpe's address in The Times, an even wider impression will be made on the thinking people of the community; and that success will attend the effort to provide big : brothers and sisters for the children of Oshawa who need them. More Taxes for Motorists Well-authenticated advance reports state ¥ that the provincial budget which is to be ©. introduced in the Ontario legislature on "Friday of this week will include provi- + seven cents a gallon. + gion for an increase of two cents per gallon on the tax on gasoline, making the tax Coming on top of a ¢ substantial increase in the cost of auto- { mobile licenses, this announcement is "bound to make the motorists of Ontario feel that they are being called upon to bear an unfair share of provincial taxation. It looks like an effort to find out just how much taxation the traffic will stand, or to find out how many straws it will take to break the camel's back. There was a time when the provincial government of Ontario claimed that the only purpose of imposing automobile license fees and a tax on gasoline was to meet the costs of highway construction : and maintenance. So long as that principle § & Er . was observed, there 'was no complaint for the motbrists, because they recognized that they were being given value for their money. The present government, however, has departed entirely from that old princi- ple, and has now definitely established that taxes on motorists are required to meet other expenditures than those for road purposes. Proof of this is found in the statement, made recently by the minister of highways, 'that the present year would see a drastic curtailment of highway expenditures, and 'that only the absolutely necessary main- tenance would be carried on. Much less oney will therefore be required for road oses, and if the principle that income from automobile licenses and gasoline tax- es should be used entirely for road work _Btill lived, then there would be a propor- 'tionate decrease in these items of taxation. of that, however, these taxes have 'been increased to a regrettable degree, a degree which imposes an unjust burden on those who drive automobiles and trucks, and who are already heavy contributors to the provincial treasury. Of course, the provincial treasurer must have money to meet the heavy demands of the present day. That money has to come from somewhere, and the provincial treas- urer, if the reports are true, has apparently chosen 'what he thinks to be the line of least resistance by adding further taxation to the heavy load already carried by the motorists. There will undoubtedly be pro- tests, but we feel that the proper time to protest is now, before the taxes are an- nounced, because once the announcement is made, not all the dynamite in North America would move the government from its publicly-stated position. Oshawa is Fortunate A few weeks ago we complimented th city council of Oshawa on the success of its efforts to reduce the city's tax rate. Since then, we have observed that there is even greater reason than was apparent at the time for these congratulations. Osh- awa today, is standing almost in an unique position among the urban municipalities of Ontario. Perusal of the daily newspapers provides the interesting information that most of the cities of the province have this year found it necessary to accept an increasing tax rate in order to meet the extraordinary obligations which have been incurred. ; Oshawa stands out as one of the few cities in which a reduction of the tax rate has been pc\iible, This happy condition is due only to the determination of the city council to reduce its expenditures to a bare minimum, to make drastic cuts in the appropriations of its spending bodies. In the midst of a spate of tax increases, Osh- awa is fortunate that it has been given a decrease, and, in view of the existing conditions, the council did exceptionally well to make this possible. Editorial Notes Let us hope the conference between the city council and public utilities commission regarding filtration plant costs will be more harmonious than those between the council and board of education on educa- tion costs. Ald. Morris was not far wrong when he said the city council was going to do so little purchasing this year that a special purchasing committee would not be neces- sary. It is indicative of Oshawa's attitude to- wards fire losses that a fire doing $900 damage is now considered quite a large blaze.

Modern capitalism has only itself to blame, if this state of things exist. Its adoration of the golden calf has made it turn the proceeds of labour from its proper object to the profits of its own sclfishne#s. The time has come when nature, ground down for so long, is seeking its" revenge. The millions which capitalism has denied the reasonable needs of the salaried classes it must now pay out in taxes to heal the pauperism which it has created. If the present economic regime had always functioned in accordance with 'the rules of social justice, it would not now be necessary to appeal to the State, and individual charity would be CRORE) to assist the normal number of those in need.
