again the government has made the public the goat a stiff increase in the cost of motor licenses comes with some surprise to say the least within the recollection of even the young men the present government declared in favor of a gasoline tax instead of license tax and accordingly put on a stiff gas jtax and reduced the motor license to a nominal fee this was a commend able move for the party who wears out the highway is the party to do the most paying but now with no decrease in gas tax up jumps the motor license to more than double for some types of cars with the ontario governmentlike every other government bending its efforts to finding new ways of taxing the people instead of bending their efforts in reducing expenditures and j it can be done it would just be surprising to hon geo henry should he come to the country with his program of more and more taxa tion to learn the hostility he is engendering brought about mainly by the non payment of arrears of taxes scarboro township council is faced with so serious a situation that the town ship bank refused to issue de bentures amounting to s7s000 in tended for the construction of a watermain to east york as a relief measure until a drastic cut in ex penditure is made by the municipal ity in all departments the assets of scarboro are listed at s 000 000 and the debenture debt 4 000 000 will greed of nations for trade wreck the league of nations a man with more than average understanding of world events gives a concise opinion on the league of nations and the orient if the league of nations ever had its great opportunity it would seem to in the present conflict between japan and china which now threatens to blossom out into a fullblown war yet beyond various meaningless gestures the league of nations is doing nothing and what is more the feeling of well informed statesmen is unit the league of nations will be able lo accomplish nothing the league may bring all its moral forces to bear upon both japan and china but it cannot take definite action theoretically the league of nations could institute an enquiry to determine which is the aggressor nation and then could briny into play the moral and even the physical powers of the member nations to punish that aggressor but the league of nations will not act without the consent or cooperation of the two or three european countries which really run it and these countries are not anxious that the aggressor should be named for they well and truly know that the only logical conclusion that can be arrived at is that japan is in the present instance the aggressor if the league were to name japan as the aggressor it would un doubtedly react unfavorable against great britain france and some other countries in the meantime the united states which is not a member of the league and which would there fore maintain a detached position of independence toward the proceedings would gain a great moral advantage in japan anil the influence on japaneseamerican trade relations would be pronouncedly favorable at the expense of british and french relations under the circumstances we may expect the league to continue to go through the motions of attempting to bring out peace between japan and china but without accomplishing any of the purposes for which its idealistic supporters think it was formed on the other hand one wonders how the league of nations can continue to have any great moral influence so long as it proves to be helpless when a real military crises arises it has managed to settles some small difficulties that would have been settled by the pressure of larger powers in any event but it apparently dares not offend any of its larger members the outstanding taxes unpaid at the end of 1930 amounted to almost 500000 the north end of this county liiids it hard to understand the riotous living that the southerners indulge in they are the chief cause of the countys alarming school debt while here in the north we build more in keeping with our ability to pay the south demands elaborate schools with cafeterias j gymnasiums etc it is refreshing toi see that someone has brought one of the big spenders up with a haul as the bank has

upon it but in the opening address coinj mercia conference secretary of commerce lamont there is one sentence that is so complete in itself that it can be fairly commented up- i on the speaker was discussing the question of tariffs and in lifting the j one sentence from his speech this i newspaper disclaims any intent to i iterpret his attitude as being cither for or against the present tariff law j in a nutshell chairman lamont ex pressed a great truth and with that alone the wall street journal is concerned here it is but the point i wish to malt an argument was in course of discussion in the editors sanctum a few evenings ago we work night and day when the opinion of the men present was that motor trucks should pay a higher license fee as no one present could tell what the real cost or a truck license should be as based- on a fairproportion of their contribution to road upkeep they all based their opinion on the fact that trucks do the hauling now at a less rate that the railway and deliver from door to door in the bargain when we stop to think of it there is really no reason why truck rates should not be lower than freight rates the truckers have no sir henry thorntons drawing down 570000 per year and 20000 or l000 addition for expenses nor are the truckers caled on lo pay the taxes imposed by the m r iei- palities for railway property in their borders also the truckers are free from union labor which in some we have everything in the line of poultry feed and baled straw straw 50c bale marmill laying mash is much lower in price than a year ago scratch grain crack corn and buckwheat are also down in price put in your orders for coal and coke now while you can get it dry and clean brandies is holding the railways up to healthy hourly wages let the railways get rid of the 70000 salary individuals and a few other extravagant methods and then the steam roads may have some change to cope with the truck competition even now they ih i haul in some cases for less a i recent test showed on 3 haul of so miles that a farmer gained 30 in from the freest possible contacts operation and exchange of good j and services between the nations that the greatest good to the greatest shrinkage and 20 in transportation number of the people in this western g11 a i ot 21 cattle hemisphere and- throughout the world for that matter will come j tho last analysis however cost of transportation or transport ing goods is paid for hy the people who buy the goods to make any transportation agency pay more freest possible contacts coopera- is to tion exchange of goods and services between nations what are they here they are laid down as tho means of bringing the greatest good thei r carrying charges up to the rates of steam roads is unfair to the public increase must he based on knowledge of the truckers share of i of the earth can any- shaws store phone 9512 stouffville ontario to the nation one say this is not true in this age of division of labor can any maiui capitalist or wage earner prosper unless he can exchange the products of his labor for those of oilier labor a shoemaker may make great quantities of shoes but they will not give food clothing shelter and warmth lo his family satisfy tax and interest demands unless lie can ex change them for other products what is true of shoes is true of every other product of industry man livetli not unto himself alone neither does any nation in this day of quick communication no nation least of all the united stales can be prosperous unless other nations are prosperous because in tho division of the worlds labor eacii country must become the market for the products of others this implies that every country must be able to purchase tho products of tho others i it cannot he said that there is anything approaching full coopera- tion between the nations if there were the world would not now bo plagued with fear of some thing it knows not what while its being broken under the weight of armaments neither is there a free exchange of goods when high tariffs countervailing tariffs and tariffs for reprisal are the order of the day our diminishing exports point an accusing finger toward our own tariff which going beyond tho bounds of protection has placed ob stacles in the way of export trade something that is essential to busi ness recovery chairman lamont is entitled to road moot j thanks for so vital truth cogently stating a 111- crease further the already tormid- 1 able cost of distribution taxing the truckers to compel them to rain costs life is complicated hy mens desires not by their necessities differences of opinion are oftimes the fog in which men fight out their selfish battles simplicity and dignity mark the observances superin tended by our staff ours is a service of
