Revision Helps Save Work In Parliament The plan was evolved on Parliament Hill about two years ago to send more work to committee for detailed study The aim was commendable It was to case the lead on the House of Commons members as whole and to bring greater efficiency It is now becoming more and more evident the Commons committee system is not working out well and that further adjustments will be required In fiveday week it is becoming in creaslltgly difficult for members of par lianlent to provide uorums for the com mittee meetings described by The Ottawa Iornal the situation is case of the load being too great for the willing horses Some members are not keen on committees and find reasons to be ablt sent Those who attend faithfully often find it impossible to provide quorums for meetings on Tuesday and Thursday Many members still feel Monday and Friday are halfdays as far as their at tendance in Ottawa is concerned Wed nesday as caucus day keeps members in their party parlcys for the full morning The problem has therefore become one of endeavoring to fit the sexton of 31 committees into threeor four days of the week Particularly when many of these committees are active con siderable difficulty is encountered IIo proposals have been made to remedy the situation The Jotunal says thoughqu members speak more and more of committee days the set ting aside of one day week for com mittee work only The House of Com mons would not assemble on the day designated and members woidd be ex pected to devote their time exclusively to their committee responsibilities second suggestion is that the House of Commons adjourn for week at time and members turn their attention solely to committee work The committee system as means of handling the increased flow of public business and of keeping members more fully informed is sound It should not be permitted to deteriorate On Its efficiency to major measure depends the efficiency of parliament DOWN MEMORY LANE WAR DAYS

TAXES Dear Sir Rob the poor to aid the rich phrase in the Barrie Ex aminer of the Dec 22nd inst by ihe Ionisfit Township Reeve Taxes have to be paid and it doesnt matter when they have to beipaid but the summertime when they are working is the best time though the two per cent allowed as rebate is their savings for the next years tare es however two per cent is small savings pretty low in terest on their money Many of the poor people and the writer is one of them in the twin came tax bracket class have to wimp and save all year to pay when their tax notice comes in any 33 days and am glad to save the four dollars per year for the next years tnxes think the poor peope should he encouraged by tax rebates to pay IheLr taxes eady in the year and not at Christmas time which is the best method for them There are many ennfldcrably wealthy and very welloft people living in this township as it Is one of the detract townships In Ontario The residents oWn lake property and cottages houses

have to pay taxes anyway Living in the township one knows the rich who get richer from those who are poor and get poorer Let them complain about the rebate if they dont pay earlier The writer is sure that th council can use the tax money at any time of Ihe year but more especially so in the sums mertime when there is more work to be done Ihe council could invest the surplus money for interest and his wouldhelp reduce the taxes for the poor If they wanted too The system on taxes is fine Hueser Aos mange would cause dissention and may jeopardize the vote at the next coming election of rceve and officers for the town ship if the old ones run Any change wouldnt make any dif ference to the poor Taxes should be calculated on peoples totnl yearly incomes say five per cent Instead of assessments
