slot machine legislation proposed legislation to wipe out the present slot machine racket in ontario will be introduced in the legislature by attor- neygenerarleslie blackwell at the present session york county police didnt show up any too good in the recent enquiry for whitchurch township and a popular demand for an investigation is heard throughout the county the york county comniission is strangely silent on the matter if new legislation is enacted perhaps it would be a waste of public money to go on with an enquiry it is understood that the new proposed legislation will declare that no person shall have or own a slot machine this would do away with the necessity of law enforcement officers having to obtain evidence of gambling and ultimately police offi cers would not have the machine to smash up with its at tendant suspicion that some police or a ring take the cash from the machines and apply it to their own pockets under the criminal code certain machines are illegal if played illegally if played for amusement only they are legal the problem of obtaining evidence is a major one under the proposed legislation the mere ownership of a slot machine will mean it is to be smashed up insulate for warmth insulate for warmth and if you cant insulate your house take a tip from the past and insulate yourself a visit to the royal museum shows that padded clothes were worn in many parts of the world in europe our ancestors made great use of tliis practical idea the ladies used to wear quilted petticoats to guard against the cold of their draf ty underheated houses an 18th century example made of bright pink silk elaborately embroidered is now on exhibi tion in the costume gallery at this time men also used quilting particularly for their waistcoats and dressing gowns the museum has recently been given an 18th cen tury mans white satin dressing gown which is exquisitely and very finely quilted by hand red cross help needed now everyone who contributes to the current national cam paign for funds of the canadian red cross can rest assur ed that it ismore than worthwhile the stories being told by repatriated men of the forces returning from the twi light existence in enemy held territory testify to that the rations doled out by the detaining power are mea gre and without the weekly inflow of supplies throughthe red cross men behind barbed jwire would soon weaken and sicken and become unbelievable miserable again and again the repatriated tell of russian prison- ers denied the lifesaving stream of food parcels who died like flies fromfhalnutrition and lack of proper attention sports equipment and books forwarded by the red cross have made a difference between monotony and a livable exis tence for prisoners of war british and allied prisoners who also come under the benefit of canadian red cross parcels have warm praise for their worth two of such prisoners are bruce lintrier and fred castle from stouff vilie who appreciate red cross parcels the proof of the pudding is found in this unvarying mass of praise voiced by those boys the activities of the canadian red cross society the generous contribution of loyal canadians throughout the dominion and the ener gy and caie that has gone into the packing and sending of shipments of supplies have proven its worth this year with the war reaching its decisive phase canadians are being asked to give a little more the need is great the canadian red cross is depending on you fearful of a crowded canada that canada faces a problem of population as part of its postwar reconstructionisgenerally admitted and many interested persons- and groups are givingi attention to var ious solutions without becoming embroiled in contentious questions says the monthly letter of the royal bank of canada there is much of interest to be explored how many people should there be in canada for the tgfeatest benefit tbtall its inhabitants is there any limit and if so what are the limiting factors if additional popula tion seems desirable whereisit to come from i jnto the answering of these questions there enters the whole worldstory of migration and birth rates of medical science and the emancipation of women of the struggle for selfsufficiency and the atlantic charter impulse toward international accord t y the theory of taxation the alemeda dispatch in britain the government taxes incomes very heavily but does not impose anything as heavy taxation on corpor ation profits as we do in canada there is a very important reason for this the theory of taxation is that it can be used to redistribute the income of the country by taxing wealthy men at a higher rate than less wealthy men are taxed which is why personal income tax is only 7 or 8 per cent for small incomes where it may be nearly 100per cent for really large incomes now when we tax corporation piofits we get away from this idea we tax the corporation profits at the same percentage so a millionaire who owns a share in a big company pays n same rate of taxation through the corporation on his share of the profits as does the widow who owns a share and has a very small income the proper plan would be to let corporations distribute their profits to their shareholders and then tax the share holders in proportion to the size of their incomes this is how they do it in britain and it is very unfor tunate that we do not dp the same thing in canada incidentally we in the west have an interest in this as things stand there is a great deal of criticism because our wheat pools do not a corporation taxon profits and it has to be admitted that there is some reason for protest in thiscase when all othercdrporations do pay such taxes kwe were to abolish corporation taxes altogether then this criticism will vanish and the- profits earned by the wheat pools will be only taxed after they reach the farm- ois who clearly would not pay veryheavy taxes- on them since not many farmers pay much income tax anyhow what we want to do is get away from the idea that cor porations whether factories in montreal or wheat pools in the west are independent affairs they are nothing but associations of individuals and it is perfectly stupid for us to try to tax them as associations the owners of these corporations should be taxed on the income which they get out of them 1 editors
