man is usually pointed to as the object of such tactics but the smallest and cheapest trkk we ever heard of being enacted is that of the man wlio when pulling down a salary of nearly 1500 a mouth the salary of the average man for a year bought an overcoat at the expense of his employer to make a business trip to europe with f a gaby chief engineer of the hydro electric power commission was the man who got the coat and the big salary too josephs coat of many colors for the time being is pushed into a state of obscurity while gabys coat of hydro fame holds the centre of interest says the cobourg sentinel star this week 59 of the weanling shet land ponies at pontiac stock farm were sold to john miller of ash- burn when mr miller arrived to take the ponies to ashburn he only- had one man to help drive the ponies there and they started along the front road for whitby at the king ston crossing the ponies sot on the tracks as the flier was coming along and the gatekeeper had to stop the train else about fifty of the ponies would have been killed the ponies then ran up the lane leading north from the kingston crossing and at tiie base line separated half going east and half going west owing to not having enough men three of the ponies were not rounded up when he got home he only having 56 of the 59 of those he started out with armistice day in france was wit nessed by one of the most terrible parades in history when 25000 dis abled war veterans marched through paris and sought an interview with the mayor of paris on the question of unemployment heading the par ade were legless men one of whom was carried by his wife next came a small army of onelegged men followed by the armles3 and one- armed bringing up the rear were the blind the men whose features were terribly mutilated and the stretcher cases men tumble to walk but carried along by their comrades thousands of people saw this parade and wept there was no cheering it was probably the most effective advertisement against war ever made v m barrie examiner in a suit over a contract for christmas trees heard before judge vance this week it was shown that 4000 of these trees had been shipped from tay township and the value of these was estimated at from ten to twentyfive cents per tree this is but one of many ship ments of trees that have been made in ontario it is amazing that the government should allow this dis- struction of the potential forest wealth of this province last weeks examiner told of two million plants at the midhurat forestry station ready to be set out in an effort to replace the forests by the slow pro cess of growth from the seedling stage the government spends large sums of money in this replacement work yet allows tne destruction of thousands of vigorous young ever greens that represent years of growth the folly of it w every little while wo read that there is a possibility or a reduction in postal rates the present heads of the postal service do not appear to be making any serious move to ward this end doubtless they fear a loss of revenue the same cry went up when sir william mulock reduced the postage but the in creased revenue left him a surplus we note what reducing taxi fares in new york meant the old rate was 4 0c per mile and it was reduced to 20c under the first tariff a cab earned about js50 a day under the new tariff 1150 per day was pro duced the public became greater users and proceeds jumped a two cent postal rate we believe would have the same effect we know a concern who found it cheaper to pay for personal delivery of letters than to pay the regular 3c charge of the postal authorities it wouldnt cost the country much to give the lower rate a trial w it has been semiollicially announ ced that the legislature will be asked to add 3000 to the salaries at present allowed each of premier fergusons colleagues this would bring the remuneration of these ministers up to 9000 each in addi tion to the salary allowed each minister in common with other mem bers of the legislature receives his sessional indemnity of 1400 plus free transportation by rail within the province ten thousand four hundred dollars a year with per quisites added may not be more than these ministers could earn in private employment it may not be more than their services are worth to the province but it is more than the people of ontario should be called upon to pay when a passes in the community are feeling the pinch and when relief measiirei tor unemployed are being considered even in advance of snowfall is no time for aa increase in salaries of public officials prenller ferguson will not show the political wisdom he is generally credited with if he brings before the legislature what has been outlined in the press general
