the tribune stouffville ont thursday march 7 1946 ultjp touffmllp uribunr established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association issued every

strikes in the united states is being attributed to communistic agitation the purpose of which is to create a spirit of unrest and of class hatred among working people that of course is in full accordance with the teachings of karl marx upon which communism and socialism are founded marx visualized a filial struggle between labor and capital for supreme power in which labor would be triumphant and state socialism established in its place that is what happened in russia as a result of the communist revolution led by lenin and trotsky- the question arises whether the labor union leaders and the workers whom they lead really want to gain supreme power destroy the capitalist system and change the name and nature of the united states of america to that of a united socialist republic of america that may not be the intention of the labor unions in promoting these strikes but that is what it will eventually lead to if the capitalist system is destroyed socialism and capitalism cannot live together because they are totally opposed to each other socialism demands complete state control on both capital and labor of production wages prices and the private life of every citizen labor unions would be abolished or become mere instruments of the government to keep the workers in order labor leaders would be civil servants or would be maintained by a checkoff system and their chief job would be to supress agitation among the workers and nip strikes in the bud this might be a good thing so far as the disrup tion of industry is concerned but it would mean the loss of freedom and the workers would become state slaves with the union leaders as their taskmasters that may be the best system for the russian people who for centuries lived in cerfdom under the czars com pared to which communism was a form of emancipation but it was not freedom the soviet leaders themselves realized that the russian people were not ready for freedom and could only be governed by regimentation they were ripe for communism even today after a quarter of a century of communism the russian people have no free dom their soviet rulers are selfappointed their education is strictly insulated from all democratic ideas they have no freedom of speech or free press their newspapers being restricted to news views and even advertisements prepared by government officials one could not imagine the working people of the united states submitting to such a slavish system but they are heading in that direction in their struggle for dominating power in industry which must inevitably result in the de struction of the capitalist system the only alternatives to that system are socialism or fascism provinces were pei 1539 nova scotia 5690 new brunswick 549 ontario 79803 manitoba 34 661 al berta 63113 one reason the saskatchewan farmers paid more heavily than others was that their income vas derived from wheat and the income tax assessors could make the round of the elevators and see what the farmers got it has been general talk in ottawa for some time that the farm population was not taxed to the same extent as the white collar workers whose incomes were known to the last cent and were deducted thereon everybody is agreed that the income tax starts at too low a bracket 660 for single and 1200 for married people it is such things as this and the fact that the government members themselves are allowed 2000 free of taxation from their own salaries that farmers will continue to dodge taxes because thev are sold on the thought the thing is not iust any old time wont do recently this column referred to the inevitable mudd ling that will occur this summer and every summer because the dominion government when disbanding daylight saving law failed to adopt this fast time during the summer or passing such law as would prohibit individual municipalities from using it the bungling that will ensue is exemplified in the case of fort william and port arthur one town has adopted daylight for this summer and the other has rejected it thus the public become confused if half the towns and villages in york county adopt daylight and others remain on standard time we will witness a return to the muddle of the time situation as it was just before the war and until the government took a hand and made time uniform again it would seem that the popular move would have been to adopt daylight time for the summer with a return to standard time for the winter and fall season and to make it compulsory all over canada leaving each municipality to its own whims is a great mistake say farmers dodge tax the vigilant eye of the federal income tax branch is being turned on the farmers of canada under the suspicion that theres something funny about the tax collections from the agriculturists special assessors have been put into some of the western provinces to check up on farmers income but the situation in eastern canada is far more serious in 1941 quebec farmers with 115000 occupied farms with a net income of 118000000 only paid 5205 income tax 1 british columbia farmers less numerous paid 43876 in 1942 the total income tax for all farmers in canada in 1942- 43 was 440212 and amazingly enough the farmers of saskatchewan paid nearly half of it although they have been struggling to recover from debts of the drought years the income taxes assessed against farmers bv other canadian songsters return among the most conspicuous signs of spring in the realm of nature are the early birds which begin to cross the southern border of ontario by march these are mostly birds which have wintered in the area extending from the ohio valley to the gulf states although their appearance here varies according to the season their ultimate arrival is a dependable natural phenomenon associated with the advent of spring the horned larks come first in february followed in march by crows robins song sparrows bluebirds killdeer redwings grackles meadowlarks canada geese marsh hawks cowbirds sparrow hawks phoebes flickers and great blue herons in approximately that order naturalists at the royal ontario museum of zoology report that about one day is required for them to reach hamilton from london 9 days to cover the distance from london to toronto 10 days to ottawa 12 days to colling- wood 14 to sault ste marie 16 to fort william and 33 to cochrane an additional influx during april brings the birds which have wintered in central america and northern south america and the migration reaches its peak in may with the arrival of the insectivorous birds which have spent the colder months farther south in south america the 16 birds which reappear in march augment our permanent residents and winter visitors and lend colour and music to a landscape that has been particularly quiet throughout the long months of winter uncle hy says march is the month wed much prefer when first the frost king grips the land and streams freeze up and cold winds blow and life seems dead on every hand and birds are in their southern home and trees are bare and summers flown march is the month we dream about when sitting by the roaring fire outside the glass is very low we wonder when it will be higher by now we watch the calendar and count the days the very hours when we can get outside again to greet the early springtime flowers march is the month we welcome most because it opens wide the door and winters snow is going fast and days are lengthening more and more for march ends winters cruel reign and ushers in the spring again sunday

period of some three hundred years when israel was ruled by divinely raised up judges boldne demonstrated at a time when the nation as a whole had sunk to a very low place so far as both piety and morals were concerned hut god who never forsakes his people nor ever leaves himself without witness put his spirit upon certain men and one outstanding woman giving them special energy and faith to act for him as deliver ers when the foes of israel became strong and oppressive because of the supineness and wickedness of the backsliding people of god the various judges did not neces sarily follow each other in direct succession some arose in the northern part of the land and others in the south there were long periods of oppression by the different nations either left in the land or in contiguous territory during which israel endured ignominious bondage and wretch edness until they realized that their calamities were the result of their departure from god when they repented of their willfulness and re turned to him he heard their cry and raised up deliverers who lex them triumphantly against their oppressors and then sought to regulate the disordered society according to the law given by god at sinai while there were partial responses to these eitorts the mass of the people remained in a state of semianarchy everyone doing what was right in his own eves judges 176 2i25 moral
