the tribune stousvihe ont thursday july 3 1947 lb tmiff trill artbunr established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association member of the audit

publishers notes and comments dogs at large after dark complaints are coming from various parts of the town to the effect that dog owners are allowing their animals to run at large after dark which the complainants prove by inviting town officials to see the tracks spotted over gardens one west end gardener another in the centre of the tow a last week appealed to have the alleged nuisance stopped that brings to the attention of the town constable that he has a difficult job one who has owned a dog can under- stand how it is that the canines should get a bit of freedom and so thev take the afterdark method what we do not understand however why so many dogs are kept half of the animals are not of the slightest value cause endless work for their owners and can be public nuisances so far as we see it it might be better if the law would permit that dogs could be fairly taxed out of a municipality but that suggestion wouldnt a approved on the farm where a dog can be as valuable as a farm hand lets celebrate them on mondays some member of parliament would win the countrys gratitude and some honor for himself if he would push the allholidaysona monday plan when they come in midweek as july i does this year there is minimum benefit and maximum confusion instead of a long weekend with a chance to make a real trip or a visit the midweek holiday simply boils down to a day you dont go to the office but stay home and interfere with your wifes housekeeping routine surely it should be possible for parliament to declare the nearest monday an official holiday or if more suitable for the nations birthday the first monday in july as a matter of fact the plan might be extended to religious holi days as well without any real hurt to anyones feelings after all when the most of the world accepted the present calendar about 200 years ago 10 days were lopped off the original schedule so that christmas and similar events today are only approximate anniversaries in any case saturday drivers an insurance company points out that saturday drivers are worse than sunday drivers in the united states for it says that in 1946 there were more accidents on saturday than on sunday which previously was the worst driving day since the beginning of motor history motor vehicle statistics for ontario during 1945 show that most accidents occurred on saturday with friday having the second highest number sunday had the least the fact that the weekly peak of accidents comes on a saturday may be due to industry getting back on a peace time basis and the shorter work week in which many persons have the whole of saturday off more people are on the road saturday than formerly was the case whatever the reason it does not alter the fact that reckless drivers are a menace on the highways whether there are more of them on the road saturday or anv other day the only difference is that the hazards are greater on the road on that day than at any other time canada being wired for business hydro linesmen stringing more and more miles of electricitycarrying wire across canada are wiring the country for millions of metal electrical dealer in ontario last year about 1200 miles of new line went up and another 1500 miles are expected to be completed by the end of 1947 last years construction connected up about 16500 new users of electricity the hardware biweekly reports the manitoba power commission expects to wire in about 3500 new rural consumers this year and almost every province has some big new power development under way when the 19 power development projects now under way are completed by about 1950 canada will have increas ed her total hydro electricity output to 11 million horse power hardware and metal electrical dealer reports but even then the dominion will be using only about 20 of her known waterpower potential unthinking drivers one thing that we have been amazed at during our driving period in and out of toronto for the past two weeks attending county council meetings is the manner in which city drivers and others will race from one red light to another at 40 to 50 miles an hour one can readily see whether the light is red or green for some distance and when red is showing they will race to the corner at 50 miles an hour jam on the brakes and then stop wouldnt it be more prudent and easier on everybodys nerves if a slower speed was used and perhaps time things so that instead of racing up to a stop one could amble along and still be at the corner by the time the green light shows up we have tried this slower means of driving and found one can reach a given destination just as soon as the imprudent driver and with a greater measure of safety the old home town w by stanley albkrtavs still waiting for imv1dexxs baulked bv legal limitations twelve years ago- the people o alberta elected a government that said it could pay a dividend of 20 a month perhaps more to every adult in the province once in office it began to enact legislation that would give the province the same right as the banks to create fin ancial credit with this power it proposed to banish poverty amidst plenty money wouid be created and distributed to tne people in dividends to ensure continuous high level of purchasing power and thus prosperity but the social credit government reckoned without the courts as fast as it passed its social credit legislation it was up set by the courts or the federal government bill of bights act it now appears as though the governments latest attempt to achieve social credit has run into the same old snag about two years ago the provincial legislature enacted what was called the bill of rights act in addition to the creditcreating social credit pro visions the bill guaranteed employ ment to everybody in alberta at the right of citizenship failing a job it proposed an unemployment pension of 000 a year other pro visions included educational bene fits for children under 18 and dis ability and oldage pensions for people over this age to test the validity of the bill before putting it into operation the government referred it to the alberta supreme court the cana dian bankers association and the federal government claiming that the power to create credit was vested solely in the dominion gov ernment opposed the bill as a result the court declared the credit- creating section ultra vires a pro vincial government it sustained however the section guaranteeing employment as the right of citizen ship the alberta government prompt ly appealed the decision to the privy council the hearings con cluded in london on thursday al though the lords reserved their decision news dispatches report court officials as saying the credit- creating section will almost certain ly be ruled utra vires the same thing they indicated may happen to the first section proposing pen sions in lieu of employment when the committee reserved judgment the canadian press re ports from london only the valid ity of section one that relating to pensions was in doubt court offic ials the cp continued said a declaration that the creditcreating section is ultra vires could be antic ipated because counsel for the dominion government and the bankers were not even called tc reply to the alberta governments submission scoff at social credit this being the case albertas attempts to institute social credit have failed again unfortunately there abe only two kinbs in recent months the editor attended a banquet at which hon ruisej g kelleymlmster of health for the province of ontario con gratulated those present for taking a public interest in matters that brought no personal benefits to the men present and he apny brought hi address to a close by reciting the following lines which we obtained for our readers as something worth- reading and preserving the lifter and leaner there are two kinds of people on earth today just two kinds no more i say not the good or the bad for it is well understood that the good are half bad and the bad arc half good not the rich or the poor for to know a mans wealth you must first know the state of his conscience and health not the happy or sad for the swift flying years bring to each man his sadness and to each man his tears no the two kinds of people on earth i mean are the people who lift and the people who lean and where ere you go you find the worlds masses are always divided into just these two classes will and oddly enough you will find too i wean there is only one lifter to twenty who lean in which class are you are you easing the load of the toilsome toiler who toils down the road or are you a leaner who makes others bear your share of the labour and worry and care quakeb group disclss plans for future however an ultra vires decision will not clear up the question of whether social credit will work out in practice accomplish the things its sponsors claim it will an ultra vires decision will meieiy mean it is not within the power of a pro vince to enact a bill providing for the creation of credit it leaves undecided the equally important question of whether social credit is the answer to some of our fin ancial ills orthodox financial men scoff at social credit say it would result in inflation but there are others who are not so certain it would bring on monetary chaos they argu that inflation does not result when the banks create and distribute credit as they do every day why they ask should it happen if the government issue credit within certain well defined limits social credit springs from the theory that our economic system suffers from a chronic lag in pur chasing power because people have not enough money to buy the things they produce as fast as they produce them surplus stocks arc built up when surpluses become too big workers are laid off un employment and depression follow this social credit supporters claim was illustrated in the last depression the stores were full of merchandise of all kinds but the people had no money to purchase it in an economy that is sound they add there should always be enough money in the hands of the people to buy the goods they pro duce and thus sustain production at high employment levels to prevent a return to depres sion conditions the bill of right proposed that the government should create and distribute to the people sufficient money to make up for this lag in purchasing power in other words through the distribu tion of pensions of one kind and another the government would see that there was always enough money in circulation within the province to buy the goods and services offered for sale done by chequr tne means by which the govern ment would create credit are de scribed as the same as that of the kinks the banks as people are beginning to realize do not lend money placed on deposit with them groups of the society of friends from toronto newmarket welland and northern new york state met at pickering college newmarket for

creating credit cheque money for every 10 they have in reserve they can safely lend up to about 100 this is possible because most of the nations business about 05 per cent in fact is done with cheques the government claims the real security for the credit the bank- create in this fashion is the re sources of the country the credit is not backed by gold or anything of this nature and if it is sound for a bank to create credit against the resources of the nation it should be equally sound for the government to do the ame so long supporters explain as the govern ment does not issue more credit than the price value of the goods and services for sale there could be no inflation whatever the merits or short comings of social credit it has tended to focus attention on our monetary system it is prompting people to ask for example why the federal government should borrow from the banks at interest when the government itself has the power to create its own credit especially when the money
