civic office the thorold post is paying fur ther attention to the ontario muni cipal act especially that section outlining the qualification of candi dates for civic office this discus sion has been going on since the last municipal elections and many anomalies in the act have been pointed out for example a tenant who has not paid his rent may qualify as a candidate but the man to whom he owes the rent may be disqualified if any part of his taxes is unpaid men on relief may get their names on the ballots but not a large property owner whose taxes are in arrears says the globe as the thorold post puts it the best citizens of a municipality may be barred from holding office on the most trivial technicalities while at the same time people utterly irre sponsible either in character or in estate may hold the highest offices and thus assume authority in many- ways over better men the essex county council has been considering this queer legisla tion and will ask that the muni cipal act be amended so that no man may be elected to municipal office who is not enrolled on the voters list as an owner of a reasonable amount of property a stake in the community other county councils are being asked to join in petition ing the legislature to have these discrepancies corrected and thi3 should have some effect the post is right in its conten tion that those in public office should have more than merely a residential interest in the municipal ity these are the men who decide on the spending of public moneys but it is the citizen who owns some thing who must pay the property owner in council has a grim realiza tion of what taxes mean to his own pocket whereas the man who may not even have employment views taxation from quite a different angle other papers in the province have been discussing this subject along lines similar to those taken by the thorold post and this is the most effective method of getting relief from election qualification regula tions that are obviously

tha ontario legislature concentrated its attention so forcibly on the pre sent and the past as it has in this first gathering of the hepburn government the pitiless glare of publicity has shown up in detail all the workings of the enterprise from the early days when sir adam beck fought to bring his ideal to fruition the hepburn government intent on smashing the grip of private corporations has dealt telling blows in its fight for the rights of the province certainly it is true that many things have come to light which for years have been secreted in the files of the hydro com mission hidden away from the knowledge of the people there is little doubt in the minds of competent observers as to what the government hopes to accomplish the legality of the private power contracts with quebec has been questioned by attorney general roebuck but it is believed the government is aiming at revision of these contracts and the eventual building up of a power supply with in the confines of the province hon t b mcquesten minister of highways and hamiltons con tribution to the liberal cabinet made one of the most effective maiden speeches ever heard in the house late last week he hammered

the county benefits to the extent of about 17 per month the balance is left with the inmates for spending money speaking on the value of a picture theatre in town the new market era has this to say which is food for thought anyone will agree that a good local theatre is an asset to the merchants talkies are a commodity which the public wants to buy and if a householder has to go elsewhere to buy this service the householder will take other business away too the grocer and the clothier should and no doubt do realizo that the success of the local theatre is important to them but how often does he take the trouble to say to his customer when he knows that he can truth fully there is a real picture on this week you ought to see it if the local theatre has good atten dances it can afford to

the gatiueau beauharnois and maclareu power contracts without consulting the commission more than this the then premier of ontario was accus ed of political intrigue and with placing political considerations be fore the welfare of the peope fn making these contracts let us revert to the policies of sir adam beck declared mr mcquesten in this statement coupled with the suggestion that ontario should proceed with development of its own power supply the highways minister indicated the trend of government thought no matter what happens to the quebec power contracts no matter whether they he cancelled repudiated or revised one fact stands out clear the liberal government does not intend to always be dependent on the sister province of quebec for its supply of electrical energy there is more than a prospect that quebec power companies will seek an interview with the ontario cabinet by the time this appears in print that conference may hsive al ready been arranged but the first move must come from the power interests themselves this appears to be the attitude of the premier local theatre do you know the total population of york county according to figures sub mitted to county council is 230- 000 of which 200000 is in the area surrounding toronto york is the largest county in the province with essex standing second with a popu lation of 04037 in york county the number of old ago pensioners stands at 1979 or one for every 116 persons when we read that 1075 gideon bibles were stolen from hotels in 1984 we consider it a hopeful sign there is an earnest search for truth going on among hotel guests the word stolen seems too strong when it comes to carrying off bibles the same word with its un lawful significance is used in re ference to the pocketing of knives spoons and forks from hotel dining rooms in regard to the carrying away of bibles we would say they were taken by thoughtless persons who forgot to read the sign on the bedroom door to take a look to see they had not forgotten some thing we do not wish it to be inferred that we are encouraging tne stealing of bibles but we read so much these days about the dust- covered bibles in socalled christian homes that it seemed to us to be of real news value that bibles were be ing so highly prized that they were being removed without authority and we considered it only fair that a word with less sinister meaning than stolen should be used in re ferring to the absentminded per sons who walked away from hotels with bibles in their club bags days op abolishing here missing cat travelled 400 miles this students in high schools and collogiates will welcome with de light the announcement from hon l j simpson that there will be no more matriculation examinations for pupils who obtain 60 per cent on the years work this wipes out the last measuring stick in the school career of the student before university entrance while doing away with examinations has its good points it is not necessarily a step toward making better educated pupils there will ever be the danger of just passing pupils along to got them out of the school even with test examinations sufficient help can be extended to the weak pupil to en able him or her to get the necessary 66 per cent we have known of pupils being passed through rooms in the public school that could never pass an examination they were be llow normal and the attitude was was set up a tnat tnev slou be moved out of him the way this was right in our way these seem to he days for abolishing premier hepburn it is rumored favours abolishing coun ty councils and then along come some county councillors advocating the abolition of the ontario legis lature of which mr hepburn is prime minister evidently they agree that something in our governmental machinery should be abolished and in this many will agree it is surprising the extent to which that word abolish has work ed its way into our everyday think ing we long have thought of abolishing the senate but the senate remains grand juries should be abolished in the opinion of some others would abolish the gold standard if president roose velt has not already rendered it inoperative premier hepburn has abolished the ancient and honorable office of sheriff in many cases and county cemetery commissions must also go examination fees have been abolished and examintions them selves are abolished many would abolish the recently instituted bever age rooms while other would abolish leverages sold therein in any shape or form tariffs should be abolished along with prejudices and arma ments that keep ruinous nationalism alive mr hepburn would abolish the office of lieutenant governor and mr woodsworth and miss agnes macphail would abolish the whole capitalistic system so it goes we all have something that we think should be abolished and too often we have nothing better to put in its place certainly there is much that should be abolished but in the pro cess there is a danger of abolishing that which should be retained still after all in our canadian life per haps we suffer more from our hesi tation to discard the old than from our eagerness to adopt the
