you like it 1000 salary boost the richmond hill liberal doesnt approve of si 000 salary boosts to day iu these tough times for so many and therefore opposes the easygoing york county council methods iu tacking an extra thousand to the salary of the treasurer with but one opposing vote the liberal says how would you like a 100000 increase in your salary this year to a great many people who pay taxes in york county this looks like a salary in itself but in this case the 51000 increase was given to the treasurer of york county who formerly received 300000 per annum this handsome increase was voted at the recent session of the york county council with but one dissenting voice the lone oppen- ent of the increase was reeve cus edwards of mimico he should be made warden at the first oppor tunity of course this is only the first session and next january looks a long distance away probably the ratepayers will be so busy trying to scrape their taxes together next december they will forget all about it by the time the next municipal election rolls round we would suggest that the ratepayers make a mental note of this one as it would be interesting to hear county council members explaining it next nomination day surely the genial atmosphere of the session must have created the illusion that the depression was over it certainly wasnt that the members of yorks famous legislative body had money to spare because they found it necessary to increase their levy this year we have no doubt but that york county council made an excellent choice a few years ago when they chose w w gardhouse as treasur er and we believe that he has filled the position in a most capable manner we congratulate mr gardhouse on so gaining the con fidence and respect of the members of county council as to receive a 100000 increase in salary we cannot congratulate the members of county council on their action in increasing the salary of any public official by one thousand dollars in

stsj5vsisis32isisjsjsss3 ottawa feb 22 parkdales own dave spence read a homily on the necessity for less spoonfeeding by governments and more real think ing on the part of the public to the house of commons on friday his subject in particular was the wick edness of extravagance in the agri culture department and in general the willingness of people to spend the earnings of someone else pie was impartial in his criticism he spread it alike on friend and foe and he was no more inclined to criticize the present minister hon j g gardiner than his predecessor robert weir members had risen in their seats to say that economy must not be studied here or studied there as it suited their purpose but 1 say that economy should be studied everywhere said mr spence speaking out of the bitterness of a tough year in business and the contemplation of the sort spot which governments have in their hearts tor farmers it seemed to the parkdale conservative that the agriculture department is a place where everyone can get a nice fat job and live off the country wasted money the item under scrutiny at the moment was one tor 2015900 for experimental farms which mr spence thinks is so much wasted money certainly plenty of farmers believe they are overdone we have dominion tarnis provincial farms and agricultural departments over lapping i do not say that the activities of these experimental and demonstra tion farms should cease entirely but i think much of the work could be eliminated we should let the people do some thinking for them selves we are doing so much thinking for the people today that we are making them more stupid all the time they are not depend lug upon themselves they are de pending upon the department to tell them how to build a chicken coop i contend that the people should do a little more for them selves they should not be spoon fed all the time he pictured the farmers as both ered to death with inspectors and most of the honorable members in the house troubled by not having been brought up in the college of hard knocks he confessed to hav ing had to earn every dollar for himself and having mighty little left at the end joe bradette of temiskanilng un kindly inquired whether mr spence had been in favor of the million- dollar tunnel to toronto island yes 1 was in favor of it re plied the parkdale member the city of toronto must be in keeping with similar cities in the us wo did not get what we asked for there because this government came into power and threw it out but some day we will get it zero winds wearing a muffler heavy gloves an overcoat and over shoes he was heavily garmented from chin to foot but he was bare headed he was getting along with out a hat or cap the toronto pap er comments that through the years fads have come and gone but this fad of going bareheaded iu all weathers is the most foolish of all perhaps the toronto editor is right we rather thiuk he is but the bare headed fad is not peculiar to tor onto it has reached practically every community ill the province and has very adversely affected the bat and rap business however while the majority still prefer to have their heads covered when the chilly winds blow there is no doubt that generally speaking headgear is today very much lighter than that worn a couple of decades ago in his recalling the past column a week ago a story was told in the arthur enterprise of a presentation to a departing citizen of a hand some persian lamb cap he was moving to toronto at that nobody would now very highly appreciate the gift of a persian lamb cap fur caps are out of date although they were very popular not so long ago the most of us can still do nicely with a felt hat or cloth cap in the winter but in summer more and more people get along without head covering of any kind and the straw- hat industry is very much less im portant than it once was how far this modem vogue for going about out of doors bareheaded will go it is hard to say but of the present generation at least the vast majority will stick to the wearing of a hat or cap during the fall winter and spring and in summer the nice light panama is assured of at least a diminished

after you have tried youll bo sorry that you didnt try it sooner begin now call up the food man stouffville bakery ambrose stover proprietor surely the canadian statesman of bowmanville takes a rather critical view of church folk and church meetings in its editorial which we reproduce below it is a fact that much prominence is given at annual meetings to the financial success of the church year just closed but it is necessary who ever heard of a normal congregation like one would find in bowmanville saving soils in an astonishing way while the church was a financial failure fact is brother editor the two go hand in hand publicity is given the financial end because it is not possi ble to do so about the spiritual side it is more difficult to appraise in print it is admitted that some folks keep up their givings as a matter of outward show but surely such in dividuals are few we are inclined to give the average church support er credit for his desire to see the good work of the lord go forward the statesman has this comment an interesting sidelight on annual meetings of churches which are very seasonable at this time of the year is gathered in reading over the reports which are published in newspapers in practically all in stances the main features are the raising of money the meeting of budget provisions and the payment of debt these things no doubt are important but it seems to us that the most important thing of all the actual christian dividends paid are overlooked in these reports who ever saw a report which featured the number of souls saved during the year or the actual spiritual pow er developed by the congregation perhaps this would be impossible to tell ibecauso profession of faith joining of the church and outward profession of being saved may not necessarily mean actual salvation in the sight of god whether or not it is possible to actually report on the amount of good accomplished by the church it should be possible for the enlightenment of others to give some idea of the value the church has given to its members and adher ents monetary reports represent so many things we are not skeptical but at the same time we would not be true to the facts if we did not state that much money donated to and raised for churches is done for other reasons than the furtherance of christianity in the commnnity and elsewhere it is true that the mission givings are one of the best indications of true christian giving because they represent practically nothing in the way of credit or local returns so many people and there will be hundreds who disagree give to the church for reasons other than those which a true christian would give wholl deny that givings are often made for business reasons and wholl deny that in some instances contributions are made to keep up with the jones wnile others have been accused of giving for the sole purpose of having fellow churchmen look up to them as having given more to their church than another the parable of

that sincerity is a liner ideal than even giving despite the necessity of giving queens park arena by the watchman toronto february 25 passage fo the provincial income tax bill was the highlight of the week in the legislature the second reading of the bill was productive 01 keen debate and the opposition sought strenuously to obtain from the government financial data as to the provincial debt which would perhaps convey some reason they said why a provincial tax was necessary premier hepburn in reply said the budget would give all the necessary information and my honourable friends across the way may not like it hut the people of the province will a feature of the vote on second reading of the bill was the support given the government by fartiuhar oliver ufo member for south grey a brilliant speaker and re garded as a most promising though 1 lethargic member mr oliver in the course of a brief address voiced his support to the measure saying he accepted the claim of the govern ment that the tax was necessary to balance the budget peg the debt indicator and maintain public ser vices mr oliver referred to the charge of conservatives that the in come tax would for the first time in the history of the province com pel farmers to pay a tax on the revenue from their farms he said he hoped the day would come when many farmers and small wage- earners would he iu a position to contribute to an income tax the proceedings in the house were enlivened by an attack on the impartiality of speaker norman ilipel who was accused of partisan ship iu his rulings a motion by arthur ellis conservative member for south ottawa to adjourn the house to debate the question was voted down on a standing vote the liberals were incensed at the re flection cast on the speaker and cries of shame tilled the chamber the fact that the provincial in come tax is to be collected by the federal department of income tax will save the province approximately threequarters of a million dollars the premier told the house it was for this reason that the ontario act was similar in almost every clause with the dominion act if the two sets of regulations differed it would mean two forms would have to be issued he said ample opportunity was afforded all members to discuss the bill and it received a thorough airing from both sides of the house there were several warm exchanges between members of
