readers the charge is sometimes carelessly made that news papers are written and edited for simpletons- on the contrary they are written to appeal only to a highly- educated class but intelligence and education are not synonymous terms plain writing for plain people is a rule which newspapers apply as closely as they can to their treatment of news not all parts of a newspaper are written to appeal to the same group an editorial page for instance which attempted to appeal to every reader would be as much a failure as a comic page which devoted itself exclusively to the taste of a few highly sophisticated readers but there is something for everybody in a newspaper and that ac counts for the fact that newspapers are followed by a greater group than any other sort of publication or means of news dispersal peterborough examiner abroad kssocuflfla- editors note this is the fifth in in the evening we were the guests the series of weekly articles which of the workington and district giowmellaultl society at their annua no ontario income tax premier prew seems to have met the tax situation for ontario in a fairly satisfactory way despite the inability to strike an agreement with ottawa to rent the ontario field for a stated sum what was feared in this province was that if no agreement was reached between the two govern ments ontario would be faced with a double income tax but such will not be the case there will be no additional income tax and this should hurry a further reduction at ottawa for those in the lower income brackets there is no question but that liberal politicians were hoping that the drew regime would have to resort to income tax because it would have been received with disfavor but in this regard drew seems to have outsmarted the fondest hopes of opposition it is to be hoped that before another year a settlement will be reached that will eliminate the confusion between the dominion and the province of ontario in its content the budget proved more of a surprise by the taxes it omitted than those it included treasurer frost passed up an opportunity to divert to ontario coffers 5 of what the dominion collects in ontario from personal income taxes but stated we propose to offer no impedi ment to drastic income tax reductions by the dominion government it imposed instead a higher corporate income tax rate 7 than was generally expected also imposed was an additional three cents a gallon gasoline tax expected to net 12 millions yearly this three cents absorbs the saving to motorists through the domin ions forth coming threecent reduction in this tax- announcing the corporation tax expected to raise 385 millions treasurer frost said i think it will be agreed that this tax is not above the level of our own requirements or of the taxpaying capacity of the corpor ations is fair and reasonable and one wholly warranted by the circumstances of the times in which we are in announcing no increase in succession duties mr frost stressed the increased burden of the dominion suc cession duties and stated the only solution is for the dominion authorities to withdraw from this field wrote from britain he accom panied the tour of canadas cham pion plowmen who have just reach ed home belfast delayed j now were in ireland and the weather continues to be bad so bad that it begins to seem well have to return to canada without taking part in any plowing matches over here its a great disappointment to all of us but the conditions have been ex treme and the matches are post poned in my last letter we were in glasgow just about to leave scot land we took an afternoon train for carlisle where we stopped 1 overnight at the crown and mitre wars he said we have stood hotel next morning we were side by side to fight a military dinner this was to nave been the plowmens banquet at which prizes would have been presented if the match had not been postponed pro posing a toast j lancaster the chairman said there never was a time when agriculture was quite so necessary in england this is an industry that has been neglected in the past now if we are to survive we must get back to the land mr lancaster also declared that plowing matches between one do minion and another are an activity that will help to bring the countries of the empire closer together canada came in with us right at the begining of two world driven the 35 miles to workington workington is a mining town in cumberland and it was there that we were to have competed in our first plowing match we were re ceived by mayor r townsley and were his guests at a civic luncheon the afternoon had been set aside for plowing practise in preparation for the match next day but due to the heavy snow and cold and their effect on the ground the match was postponed for two weeks this was a disoppointment in the town too because the people seemed very interested in us and had made many careful arrangements as an example the education officer had planned to bring 600 schoolboys to see us compete the champion plowman of devon who has won 43 cups had intended to enter the matches trips in cumberland however the postponement gave us a little break and most of our boys took the chance to catch up on their sleep before a rotary dinner that night next morning we were taken for a beautiful drive through the cumberland mountains our first stop was at the very fine farm home of mr joseph musgrave at tarnbank after viewing his herd of holsteins and other stock we were received in his home by his wife and family another example of the british hospitality we have received everywhere we had lunch at keswick a very popular resort in the summer and then we drove a few miles farther to a sheep farm in the hills heare the owner a mr relph gave us a demonstration of sheep dogs at work that was simply amazing the three- dogs were directed by their masters whistle each by a note of its own and rounded up the sheep with remarkable intelligence and skill this was one of the most enjoyable trips of our entire tour enemy now we are prepared to continue side by side to fight what is an even greater enemy the world food shortage next morning we visited another farm near workington where we saw a large herd of grade milking shorthorns they had nearly 300 head young and old with over 100 milking the farm home and other buildings were built of stone and the house and barn were attached but the arrangements struck us as inconvenient and making a lot of extra work that night we took the boat for ireland where we arrived next morning after a smooth crossing of the irish channel we were met at the wharf by james ruddock secretary treasurer of the north ireland plowmens association and a number of directors bad weather in ireland ireland is sharing englands bad weather and conditions are very unfavorable for plowing because of the fuel shortage there is no heat in our hotel rooms and we arent very comfortable but the lack of heat is being made up in kind hospitality for nowhere in our tour have we received a warmer welcome from the people on our first day in belfast we were shown through the buildings and park of the agricultural association these grounds were used as a military camp during the war and now require some extensive repairs this is the headquarters for livestock sales in northern ireland like the perth sales we saw in scotland they have a very fine building which is used for hockey in the winter with an ice surface of 220 feet by 180 feet by monday morning it was quite evident that the plowing match which had been set for the following wednesday could not take place be cause of the frost and snow and it was postponed to the end of the what does a bank mean to you fk a friendlij neighbour week i a cocoa
