ontario is planned new regulations in regards to the amusement tax will provincial au thoritics think stop a number of leaks patrons entering any place of amusement on a pass must now pay the maximum tax on strip or series tickets tax must be paid on the regular and not the special price tax tickets sold for use in certain houses cannot be used elsewhere no price of admission shall be ad vertised as including the amusement tax and no ticket shall be sold at a price including the amusement tax the reports received so far in 1924 by the workmens compensation board indicate that 18710 accidents have been reported during the first four months of the year and that the total compensation awarded by the board in the same period has been 207105860 this is a very large sum and with the constant desire of everyone in the country to re duce costs appears to offer a legiti mate point of attack in the effort to reduce unnecessary expense the safety movement is largely educa tional in its methods and if by in tensive work in our industries the will to safety can be developed there will be fewer accidents m the rapid increase in the number of persons in canada who are kept by the efforts of others is one of the reasons why taxes are higher the dominion government employs app roximately 160000 people allow ing five persons to a family would mean that 800000 persons are di rectly or indirectly dependent on the dominion government alone and as practically none of the government services are operated at a profit it means that this large bodyaf per sons is being maintained chieffj through the efforts of those who are in gainful occupations if those employed by the province and municipalities were added to the above it would be found that one- fifth of the total population is being taken care of by the other four- fifths from this it does not look as if the war were the only cause of the heavy taxation taxes are get ting heavier because in proportion to the population there is a smaller percentage of persons in gainful oc cupations than there were in years past the situation is growing worse for if an enterprise does not pay the natural thing to do is to work it off on the government vy the late miss reta hiscock after an illness of but a little more than a day death claimed miss reta hiscock collingwood st king ston on friday afternoon june f20t miss hiscock
