EHGAR THOMAS, Ferndale, Barrie MONEY EXTRACTED Page Four Lad Them Alll mrsu Fnurrs FOR _sAL Toronto i Value of Waterways May Come Back is the heading of an article in last week's Newmarket Era. It will be a long, long time before any- one will be able to discover any value in Newmarket s great water- way, Mulock s Ditch." V - , I WORTH A MILLION A WORD One of the -real lessons in the worth of advertising is the place in which one slogan has been put upon the public mind by well-directed announ- cements_. President Trigg of the National Paint, Oil and Varnish as- sociation, appraises Save the Surface and You Save All, the association advertising slogan, at a million dol- lars a word. So great has been the success of this campaign that_the- pro- moters are convinced that it will make 1922 a greater _year than any before, and double the business by 1926. A [million dollars a word is little enough for a slogan that can double a two hundred million dollar industry in ve years. Of course the advertising was good but it had to `have good goods to make it worth the`money.'-Bran ' don Sun. -c &V\lLJH|J Franklin said that a. Bible and}; newspaper in every house, a good- school in every district--al1 studied and appreciated as they merit--are the. principal support of virtue, mor- ality and civil liberty. ~ 4 One public speaker recently told a Barrie audienceithat Civilization is falling; it is doomed. Another, a few days later, said: Civilization has broken through the crust and has struck out on the open road. Per- haps those of the audience who heard both have a vision or two themselves r not different from what Billiken might vizualize.` After all aren't they both right? Man is always fall- ing and always striking out on a new road. , He may have to payga lecturer to hear the point brought home tohim occasionally, but it's a hundred to one he will go right on falling and striking out till that fatal . doom s day arrives; and if his record 1 shows his earthly hours were _spent ` in `nothing worse than `falling and 1* then striking out again he's pretty 1 sure of a more comfortable place '1 than thos who proved afraid to . lstrike out for the cowardly reason 1 [that they had~to run the risk of fall- ', I ing-i ' I Complaint is made by'the Renfrew Mercury that the town newspaper re- porters were debarred from publish- ing important details concerning the contract for the, new collegiate, the Board going into committee of the whole to prevent the proceedings be- ing reported. Why should informa- tion disclosed in committee not be available for publication? The ob- ject of" taking up business in com-' mittee of the whole is to facilitate discussion, the members being then untrammelled by the rules of debate. There is no general rule of proced- ure which forbids publication of com- mittee debate; it issimply a rule that certain bodies have seen fit to adopt for keeping the `public in the dark as to what they are doing. Sucha rule is not in the public interest. If there "should be disclosed any inform- ation which would be detrimental to the board s business if given out, the Press could be relied upon to refrain from publishing it, provided it is not necessary in the public interest that it should be given out. Neither the Town Council of Barrie nor the County Council of Simcoe try to put any closure upon reporters in com- mittee of the whole. In this way the publichas an opportunity of know- ing what is going on, which is a` very wholesome inuence upon those transacting public business. I [I10 SBEISIQCEOIY CXPIEIIEEIOII. . ' It had been made very plain to the Council that any license" charged would have to be paid for by the guarantors. The fact was_also known that the local people behind the Chautauqua would have to meet a large decit, which shortage could be met only by a levy upon those who becanrfe responsible for the guaran- .tee. Naturally such a` levy could not be made until all expenses had been gured up, and the total loss ascertained. This the committee had not been able to do when the per- emptory demand for the money was made on behalf of the Town. 11L: 1` 715,, I unuuv \IIl UCIIHIL VJ. UIIC .1. VW Chief King is not to be blamed; he simply followed his instructions. What the guarantors would like to know is by whom he was directed to take such action. Without a motion of council, the only ones who should have authority in such a case are the Mayor or the Chairman of Finance, The Examiner does not believe that either of `these was the man behind the scenes, but perhaps they will be good enough to ascertain who was responsible for threescore reputable citizens being treated as though they were an aggregation of dead-beats, In a letter from Mr. Young which! appears in this issue, it is stated that, the Chief of. Police was sentto col-1 lect the amount of the license fee! from the Chautauqua guarantor's.i This was adding insultto injury. ` It; was an action for which there can be no satisfactory explanation.

EDITORIAL COMMENT Premier Drury says that his Gov- ernment has no power to wipe out race track gambling. yet he declares that the ve per cent. tax imposed has done morevthan anything else to 1 make this form of gambling unpop- ular. If a tax of ve per cent. has such a wholesome effect, why not double or treble it with correspond- ing reductionsin the amount of fod- der`for the pari-mutuel machines? Accepting Mr. Drury s `own state- ment asto the deterrent effects of the tax already imposed, it is very plain that the Ontario Government has an effective weapon in its own hands for reducing betting to a min- imum if it cares to use it. Ottava reports that the 1917 Vic- tory` Loan issue will be renewed' when it falls due in December next. It is said that the renewal will be upon practically the same basis with the possible exception that they will be taxable. Beyond question, the re-_ issue should be taxable. This will affect only. those liable to income taxes and these are able to pay the- small extra taxes levied upon income from these securities. Renewal of these bonds is not compulsory, yet a re-issue on the old terms, though subject to tax levy, should prove an attractive proposition to Canadian investors. Several members of the Ontario Cabinet are understood to favor an election this Fall in order to take ad~ vantage of improved conditions due to good crops. Premier Drury, how- ever, thinks otherwise and his den- ite statement that the present Legis- lature will be allowed to live its al- lotted term has put a stop to rumors of anearly election._ Mr. Drury rmly believes in xed peods for elections. ` He is right.
