off ono of her customers by her action in raising new zealand butter duty to s cents a pound is the opinion ex pressed to the financial post this week by a representative of a leading canadian export bouse who has just returned from an extensive tour of that dominion canadas ex ports to new z ealaud have fallen oft drastically in recent months de spite the fact that the country has enjoyed comparatively good busi ness during the past yearaiul should have proved oue of our best custom ers in 1930 xew zealanders it was pointed out to the post are for the most part unfamiliar with actual dairy ing conditions in canada and as a result british manufacturers and their representatives have capitaliz ed to the fullest extent the rather peremptory action of the canadian government and have been making the most of this opportunity to take for themselves a trade which formerly went to canada australia is favored what xew zealand resents per haps even more than the imposition of an eight cent duty is the fact that canada has not even placed her on the same basis as australia but allow the australian product to be imported into canada at the pre sent time in preference to the xew zealand product the australian duty on butter is still only one cent a pound to which is added a r0 per cent dumping duty which brings the total duty on australian butter up to between 5 i and c cents as against s cents on xew zealand butter xew zealanders point out that their country has always ex tended a wide preference to canada and has looked up to this dominion as somewhat of a nig sister where as canada has only had preference in a selected list of australian im ports another unfortunate effect of the raising of the duty m canada and one which is not generally known here is that the increasing of the duty to four cents a pound by the mackenzie king government in the spring of 1930 came just a few days before the question of extend ing a preference on canadian timber was to be discussed by the xew zealand parliament the raisin of the duty by canada at that particular time is said to have destroyed immediately any chances of a favorable revision of the tariil and set at nought the excellent and paliitakiug efforts or the canadian lumber delegation nhkh visited australia and xew zealand at con siderable expense a year or so ago melinite gesture needed what is needed now according to this exporter is a neflinite gesture on the part of the canadian uover- ment which will indicate our will ingness to do business witli new zealand and to renew on u reason able basis the trade relations which had developed to such a consider able degree until a few months ago poor pedestrian be no more will peter pan fabr canadas most popular seller the fate of the pedestrian is sealed and his ultimate disappear ance is predicted according to pas sages taken flora the bible and found in the book of isaiah concerning the disappearance of the pedestrian a passage is taken from chapter 22 verse s in the book of isaiah which says the highways lie waste the wayfaring man eeaseth and another from the same book and they gleaned from them in the highways j000 men the amazing foreknowledge of modern highway conditions is seen in references taken from the good book all appropriate passage which well pictures our highways follow ing the usual weekend account of accidents is and amasa wallow- oth in the blood in the midst of the highway a fitting passage which aptly il lustrates the main thoroughfares of our cities each evening is the chariots shall rage in the streets they shall jostle one against another in the broad ways they shall seem like torches they shall run like lightnings foreteliings of airplanes and dirigibles hold true in the book of ezekiel 1 2 and when they went i heard the noise of their wings like great waters another passage from isaiah saysthey shall mount up with the wings of eagles the various passages were com piled by a railroad concern those men fail to find any passage con demning the railways either markham township council want us to go out into their municipality and light ires in our area or they do not if they do then they ought to pay us was the substance of the words used by councillor mills of richmond hill when addressing markham town ship council at its last meeting in an effort to secure pay from the- muuicipality in the event of their lire brigade being called beyond the confines of richmond hill into ma i kham township such talk on the part of coun cillor mills is mere bluff everybody knows that markham council ap preciates tho efforts of richmond hill lire lighters or any other per sons who render service in time of distress but as to the advisability of the council to pay for this service from the general account of tho township is quite another matter why should a special service be created for a few farmers ill the reach of the richmond hill brigade at the expense of the whole town ship they might just as reasonably create this special service for an other set of farmers within the reach of the stouffville brigade which carries a chemical outfit that is some use where water is not available hut why create these special services at all when the whole township is not to benefit the entire southeast corner of the township secures no such benefit and should not bo called on to pay tor fire protection for the other portions anyway it is doubtful if the village brigades are of much service- out in the country the township maintains an interest in fire equipement at union- ville but to establish a bonus for richmond hill to fight fires only in vites a similar situation at stoult- ville and possibly markham village all of which would be very expen sive to a township already feeling the burden of taxation surely it is a question of payment by the area served and their wtilngness to pay should be indicated by the farmers themselves who should petition for a fire area wo question every much if the appeal from richmond hill will carry much weight before the councillors of the township who are not in a position to extend fire pro tection to favored areas a 14week
