Since many munici- palities, Barrie included, set a date toward the end of the old year it has created confusion so far as compilation of returns throughout the province is concerned. This is not aserious con- sideration hecause municipal elections are pure- ly local in effect but it makes it hard for peo- ple to keep track of results in various towns and cities of the province. A common municipal election day in Ontario is not a necessity but would be a good thing if a date suitable to all could be selected. l The Liqu Brass Polish I SPECIAL- /\|as| Red f Golien` BE" TIN 22 SALMON Pure Black Currant Jam nt\n:'D'I'ct\lu` l.......-o.d_. . _ O6 539 ";';kVW T 2 Lbs. 25c Bulk-l-`Ines: Quality . . . . . .

I He sat in the House of Commons press gallery himself at one time and is thoroughly conver- sant with the horrors of Hansard. We would point out to him that the days of medieval tor- ture passed away cen-turies ago. If the prisoners , in Walkerton jail were familiar with speeches in Parliament, as recorded in the official record, ' they would probably prefer the rack or thumb- - screw to the discipline proposed by the Mirror. For the greater part of 1929 Orillia labored under the depressing delusion that it had wound up the previous year with a deficit. Then, about Christmas time, came the joyful announcement t that the town had really closed 1928 with a surplus of between $35,000 and $50,000. If the amount involved in the difference was not so staggering the incident might be understood readily enough. But, under the circumstances, it looks as if the representatives and officials re- sponsible for keeping the people informed a- bout the municipality s financial standing were somewhat remiss. if the supposed deficit did not exist, and, in place of it there was a substantial surplus, why didn t the public find out about it at the proper time? It looks as though Mayor` Johnston, that assiduous investigator, should get busy on this mystifying problem. es of Ontario and Quebec. Commenting angrily upon the proposed in- crease of $5 a ton on Ontario and Quebec newsprint a St. Louis, Mo., paper suggests that Americans raise the price of coal to Canada. 'l`he American paper does not pause to consider that the increased price of newsprint is effective in Canada as well as the United States but as- sumes that discrimination is being practised `a- gainst that unselfish, magnanimous ol_d gentle- man, Uncle Sam. Anyway necessity is the mo- ther of invention. For a long time Canadians have been considering means. of using Nova Scotia and Western coal in the central provinc- Cheap trans- portation, of course, is the stumbling block. But even now more Canadian coal is being burned in this part of the Dominion than ever before. Increasing electrical development, too, has reduced tremendously our dependence upon the anthracite mines of Pennsylvania. So there isn t much doubt we could get along without American coal altogether if forced to do so for economic reasons. The St. Louis paper doesn t , understand the situation or it would realize that its suggestion, if implemented, might mean cut- ting off one s nose to spite one s face.

SHOULD STICK OU-T THEIR CHESTS Goderich Signal--A remark made recently by _Miss Mac- phail. M.P.. has been wrongly interpreted in some quar- ters. Miss Macphail did not say farmers are too cheap" but that farmers hold themselves too cheap.

SOMETHING TO THINK ovm St. Marys Journal-Argus--Speaking to his fel1ow-mem- bers of the Rotary Club on Monday evening, Postmaster B. F.

If we would adopt Christian principles inour giving, said the speaker. we would not give to those who are as well or better off than ourselves, but would put it into lump sums and dis- tribute it among the needy and those in distress.

MUNICIPALITIES THE GOATS Fergus News-Record-M any municipal councils have been complaining because they have received accounts for part of the expense of the late Ontario elections. This I would seem to be most unjust and merely another way of ` passing along the expenses to the municipalities to be raised by direct taxes on the people. Sums that we have noted in the accounts in Wellington vary from $60 to $80 and are supposed to be the expenses of `the Election Board. The Reeve of West Luther complained that only three names were added to the list in his township, yet 1 they were forced to pay some $70 or more. _ Xonmous Oi-` omens AN INCONSISTENT PEOPLE .I..........-8.-6 CERTAINLY NOT TORONTO ,.._-1 -3 LI... .. : Over in_Wa1kert0n :,.....A +n Inn rnarnv THE ARRIVAL OF TRIPLETS at the hnmn nf Bandsman and Mrs. Geo.

The engineer for the township of Oro. George Cavana of Orillia, in his award ordered a culvert. on the C.N.R. to be closed. This would prevent the water in question from flowing over Mr. Packard s land, but he also order- ed an open ditch to be constructed a- cross the centre of Mr. Watt s land to provide for the disposal of the water. Mr. Watt appealed to the County Judge against the award and the hear- ing took piace at Shanty Bay before Judge Wismer. who upheld the engin- eer's award.
