lfc- fe 13 c the tribune stouffville oit thursday max 1 1945 established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario subscription kates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa s20 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments the farmer and income tax the number of canadian farmers who now make in come tax returns have increased sharply of recent time- it is stated that 25000 are now paying the tax as against only 3500 a few years ago if a farmer does not voluntarily come forward with the tax demanded by the government it is very hard to prove against him since his booking is difficult to follow perhaps there should be some improvements to the act that would encourage cooperation on the part of the farmers in paying the tax for instance his wife works just as hard as the farmer but no consideration is given for her labor if a married laborer in the city or town is working and pays a tax over his earnings of 1200 his wife may still go out and earn up to 660 additional before she is taxed the farmers wife or the wife of any person employed legally by the husband cannot claim any exemption for the service put into their business by the wife this seems un fair and is a ground for widespread complaint trying with his- 50 per cent payment to chools to see to it that the smaller places receive a larger share of the gov- ernment money toronto teachers are not worth any more than teachers in stouffville or any other smaller centre excepting of- course the difference in living costs so far as public school teachers go the instructor out on a concession line who works under unfavorable conditions earns her money in a harder way than the city teacher who is giveneverything to work with under more congenial working conditions we believe the government will have to take a greater hand in the overall direction of salaries in order to bring them to a more equitable basis toronto teachers will and should receive more pay than a teacher in an outlying town because living conditions are more expensive yet be yond that and possibly meritorious considerations to some extent salaries should be nearer a level over the province ratepayers have confidence in board of education the stouffville board of education certainly have the green lighf from the ratepayers to get on with the job of bringing our big knowledge works up to a fair comparison with that of surrounding towns there are two reasons why the people support this view one is that everybody enjoys the best of conveniences and wants their children to have these advantages while secondly the ratepayers may well be mindful of the fact that if stouffville does not keep her schooling facilities uptodate then the school will notbe patronized by outsiders who help pay the costs in the ratio to which they patronize the school y at- the annual commencement on thursday night the reeve declared stouffville had one of the best boards to operate here in his time and with such an efficient body we may hope that they will continue to press forward in solving our heating problem at the school as well as the demand for an auditorium so badly needed the lack of an auditorium was keenly felt when the commencement exer cises were so well carried out yet marred because of lack of stage facilities and other conveniences which the school lacks the board of educations problem is certainly not be ing hampered by an unwilling set of ratepayers who seem to have given the green light to the members to go forward jusing their best judgment teachers salaries are inequitable toronto school teachers are the best paid in canada according to an advertisement inserted in the toronto dailies protesting the higher salaries for toronto teachers the advertisement at the same time asks why the teach ing profession in toronto is ready to shoot holes in the price ceiling or words to that effect when all other peoples areexhorted to respect the ceiling as a sense of loyalty and for other reasons that might be mentioned that is torontos quarrel but we do believe that be cause of the higher salaries the teachers in toronto are able to command the board of education there is able to sweep over the province skiming off the cream of the pro fession for toronto schools the city can readily do this be cause of the manytaxpayers there who share the costs thus their school rates in toronto are not as high as in many a smaller centre ah this emphasizes the unfairness of the situation and we are glad that premier drew is plan for world peace is the world to have a war every twentyfive years if so it appears that the increasing proficiency of arms and explosives one more war would possibly put a finish to the existence of the human race at any rate civilized nations are going to have a big job on their hands either to pre pare for another war or ele to prevent such a catastrophe in this present war canada and this continent have been far away from the scene of batfte at the start of the next war if v is one armed forces will have the facilities to attack our shores at once from a centre thousand of miles away therefore it is easy to realize the importance of a sound peace plan based on facts as they are and aimed at the realization of our ideals for a peaceful world in the opinion of highlyqualified observers both of these requirements have been met in the proposals that were drafted by representatives of great britain united states eussia and china who met at dumbarton oaks every effort is now being made to submit them to the thoughts and suggestions of the public churches and public bodies have issued pamphlets to encourage the study of the plan in the current issue of the readers digest there is an article by edward r stettinius jr secretary of state for us on what the dumbarton oaks plan means which we would advise our readers to study it is largely on the above article that our present remarks are based the plan proposed at dumbarton oaks has four corners first is a banding together of the peaceloving nations of the world to maintain peace recognizing the equality of all and at the same time their inequality of power to pre vent war all members shall be represented on an equal footing in a general assembly also there will be a security council of eleven members in which the five most power ful nations will be permanent members the other six mem- bers to be elected for twoyears by a twothirds majority of the general assembly thepiimary responsibility for the prevention and suppression of war rests with the small body the security council the primary responsibility for creation of the international political and social conditions favorable to peace rests with the assembly the supreme- duty of the security council is to take any measures necessary for the maintenance of internat ional peace and security this constitutes the second corn- er of the plan all members states undertake to settle their disputes peacefully by means of their own choice if such fail then the nations are obligated to come to the security council the general assembly is empowered to consider such quest- ions and to make recommendations providing that the security council is not already dealing with them an international court of justice is also provided for it is only after means for the peaceful prevention of war have been exhaused that the security council will then turn to forceful means for the prevention or suppression of war if further means are not enough the security council is empowered to take military action thus the security coun cil is given powers which the league- of nations did not possess this army vv- ik slow down hcrbic yer drivfn too fakl news from queens park the legislature is rather slowly getting down to business only a handful of- government bills have been presented and only

this had not been done he suggest ed that the government might have freed provincial trucks and men to haul coal that deliveries to non essential users might have been restricted till homes and essential plants had been supplied and that the fuel committee of the legisla ture might have been asked to in vestigate the shortage premier drew tcplied that fuel was controlled by the- dominion government as long as the war lasted and the province ftpd no authority to act howard brown ccf welland and grieve robinson ccf water loo south both poined out that the same condition r existed when

carried out all the promises made in the 22 points it may claim to have done something on each point he said some trivial things and some important things but that is not enough the under takings given must be carried out as they were made the people of ontario in 1913 be lieved they were electing a legis lature that would take definite far- reaching action on postwar prob lems they must not be disappoint ed he said the government had promised to cooperate with the dominion in t establishing a sound basis for ures certainly there had been no cooperation on family allowances mr jolliffe said it had promised to encourage private initiative but it had- produced no plans to keep full employment after the war it had promised an agricul tural coiiinission of enquiry and had appointed the commission but had done nothing to carry out its recommendations it had promised the fairest and most advanced labour laws- where were they it had promised to appoint a man with practical mining
