Don't you realize that business conditions have changed. competition has given way to amal- gamation or merging of Industries and Finance? Labour has organized itself into Unions, all for the sole purpose of strengthening their position financial- ly. Under such modern conditions how can we expect to hold our own? We are like chaff in a windstorm being swept away by financial interests. We have to accept for our products whatever prices they feel like handing out to us, and we have to [pay for our purchases whatever prices they ask from us. Surely, Fellow `Farmers. we can not hope to get an even break in the busi- ness game of today by playing singly against controlled organization. Wham. is the answer? We must amalgamate also, not in any weak-kneed, go-as-- you-please, sell-where-you-like when- and-how-you-like and to-whom-you-| like organizations. As `this form of so- called cooperation built on loyalty and A sympathy can not serve our purpose we simply must bind ourselves togeth- er agreeing to dispose of ounrproducts through our own organization, under penalties of suitable fines if we fail; to live up to our agreement. We also must do our own financing, that is,` raise the capital required for building: and operating our plants, as we can- not expect anyone else to do it for us. , But, do you realize that the cost of the present private packing house estab- lishments and markets, as well as the upkeep, operating of .same and the millions of profits paid to stockhold-, ers, is actually paid by us farmers?` Then why not build and operate for. ourselves?

Surely it can not be the $150.00 we are ask- 1 ed to invest, as we are losing this E amount every year owing to the fact 0 I that we are compelled to accept such ; prices for our hogs as merged private C corporations feel like handing out to,t us, or are you. afraid of the men who c have undertaken the work of organiz- ing this business? It is true that they It are not what you may term polished, gt high-pressure salemen," being farmers like ourselves, but they have absolute .t confidence in this form of cooperation. [I They are fighting for it tooth and I nail; they have sacrificed time and 1 `money, and although we have failed|s to accept the proposition as quickly` as we should, these men are prepared ,: to carry on, full-well realizing their responsibility and aware of the fact 5 that unless we are satisfied with their 1 administration we can replace any or i` all of them at any time.

ULIC hUWlLllAy _ Taking up county affairs, the reeve - contended that it was good business `to have the county road system ex- tended, thereby earning a grant of 50 per cent. instead of the 30 per cent. paid to townships. The 4th line ofl .Innisfil had been made a county road .this year. Simcoe paid $65,000 for Ihighways this year and the treasurer iestlmates $90,000 for 1930. With the` good roads programme of the govern- ment we needn't look for a lower road levy. said the speaker. Another item to keep up the rate is old age pen- sions, which speaker expected to re- Iquire 1 1-2 mills in a year or two if .applications continue. In conclusion. {the reeve said he had tried to promote 1 the best interests of the township and ;.to be fair to all. . J \_,\J_AuLua.JLLuo. I :_ After touching upon the burden of, 7 gtaxation. he took up the roads ques-` ;'tion which, he said, is a big problem 3,these days. Innisl had built six ,[bridges in 1929 and four in 1928. 1 Bridges built the last four years had 1 been a credit to the township. While. some roads had not received `as much I as others, the distribution had been tfair on the whole. Certain roadsneed b assistance owing to heavy traffic, con. 1 _ 13 being an example.

In the spring of 1929 they had never been so bad. but at freeze- 'up they were in good shape. Six large ` ;-bridges were built. On the south town- I -line there was a washout two-thirds !of a. mile long, so deep and wide that , a team could be driven in it down the rniddle of the road. West Gwil~` limbury at first refused to pay half the g `repairs on the ground that they havei another parallel road only 40 rods a-` [way and only two ratepayers on the townline. Upon instructions from the Government engineer Innisl xed the mad at a cost of $530 and Gwillimbury has at last agreed to pay half. A! grader had been purchased at a cost. of $750 and the reeve advised the ad- I dition of a scarifier next year to repair washboad surfar'es. Instead of rent-- I ing cement mixers. council bought one this year for $200 which had al-1 ready paid for itself. $21,171 had been i spent on the roads. but over $7.000. would be returned in government sub- ` sidy. Reeve Webb paid tribute to the. faithful and efficient services render- ed by the late Frank Whan. as bridge foreman. rrI_.._I.:.._. _.. 1.1.- n--_____.. 11.. 1I1..I..1. l . Touching on the nances.

More About Taxes Joseph Bowman protested the high county rate. It alone cost him $60 this year. Innisl pays $32,000 in county taxes, double what Essa pays, due to high equalization. Some farms are renting now for only the amount of taxes. Where will it end? Mr. Pea-I cock had complained of the cost of education. Mr. Bowman wanted edu-; cation, but in an economical way.
