1t is an idea along these lines that is inspiring those who are now enthusiastic for the Kiwanis community movement i# present under way. The Kiwanis have investigated wrices, quality and service in the stores of Timmins and and have found better value than offered by the peddlers and the outâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"district stores. Thus the Kiâ€" The "Buy at Home" campaign inaugurated by the Timâ€" smimrs Kiwanis Club should have farâ€"reaching benefit not amly for the merchants but for the town in general and the public. It is recognized at present that business thromwghout the Dominion, and, indeed, all over the world is mot in the best condition.. All desire to have this condition remedied, and it is well to recognize that the only way that the individual can help is in and through his or her own «eanmmunity. If every single individual in a town would bend every effort to the improvement and advantage of the comâ€" #smmity it would be surpmrising how substantial, comfortable and pleasant a place that town would become. If all the ««xnmunities followed a like plan, neither depression nor amything else could spoil Canada as a good pFace to live in. There is nothing parochial or small in the idea that every first duty is to his or her own home town. Those who prate ahout broadness of outlook and world msterest usually are simply evading the duty that lies to their own hand.

So far as possible the Government amust avoid discriminatory taxation that may menace inâ€" dustry or that may simply be shouldered off upon the backs w workers already not any too well paid. It is to be hoped tbat the Dominion Government does not proceed with any plan to further burden the mining industry, and that if the taxes on the mining industry are increased the workers are wrotected from danger of having to pay the additional costs with perhaps a little added. All will recognize the necessity for increased revenue from taxation at the present time, but care must be taken to awoid injustice and the strangling of industry. The country will be seriously injured by plans whereby additional taxaâ€" tion is secured through pauperizing the workers, or where @ppressive taxes mean the loss of both taxes and the indusâ€" tries concetned. The thriving industry should not be crushâ€" ed by undue taxation. Industriee are what are specially meeded here and now. It is not upon the going concern «hat the additional burden should be faced, but upon the fle capital. Instead uf taxing industries to death, there should ibe plans sought to tax idle capital back into active Smdlnstry. In looking for new subjects for taxation, it would aeem to be well for the Government to centre more on the Larger incomes, on profits, on idle capital. Hon. Mr. Euler m.â€"gasted some form of capital levy. Something along this lYime may have to be attempted. In any event it does seem s#gain that destructive burdens can not be safely placed on The mining industry, compared to other lines, pays at present more than a fair share to the Dominion Governâ€" ment. Addition to present rates of taxation will have the «4feet of handicap;\ng the struggling*small mine. It will mean that certain new and promising properties will not bBe able to proceed with contemplated development. Ths «ffeet on the old established mines is likely to be still mors werous. Some of thoese mines have been looking< for ar exruse to roduce wages and additional taxation will providr that excuse. The consequences to the country at large w1‘ be serious, indeed. Workers at the mines at present ar not being cverâ€"paid in view of the special dangers to health fife and limb that is their daily portion. Some of the min> may see the injustice of wage reductions and the evil effects sure to follow any such procedure, but there are others with fees modern ideas who will lack the foresight to visualize the conditions that will arise, and there may ibe attempt to pass on the additional taxation to the workers. Surely, this ts not desired by the Government!

Thf emmtry would benefit greatly by any extension of the gold mining industry. It would seem to be the part of wisdom to seek ways and means to foster and extend mining activiâ€" ties, rsther than to impose further penalties that can have wo other effect than to restrict operations. Toâ€"day Canada will benefit more from go‘ld mining expansion than from any other single industry. It is a wellâ€"established fact that taxnrtion beyond a certain point defeats its own purpose. When taxation reaches the point where it is oppression the There are reports current that the Dominion Crovernment wmoxxres to materially increase taxation on the mining inâ€" duxtry. Any such plan should be vigorously opposed in the Interests of the of Canada no less than for the proâ€" of the mining industry itself. At present any increase in taxution on mining will mean little more than a serious nuviien on the gold mines of the Dominion. Duringy the wresent depression the gold mining industry has been the ame bright spot on the horizon. That fact has been emâ€" mhasized so cften that it might be expected that even moliticians would be seized with the realization of its truth. Why attempt through oppressive‘ taxation to strangle the aste outstanding industry of the country toâ€"day? Why risk mn gaginrost certain injury to the leading industry of Canada for a problematic advantage? Would it not be well to seok to encourage an industry like gold mining that is doing so mwech to steady conditions and lead the way out of the coummry‘s present difficulities, rather than to prejudice its whances by burdensome taxes? Of all the industries of the wecont in Canada mining seems to be the one that SBubscription Rates Panadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year United S it would pay Canada to bonus an industry like that of gold minime,. rather than lose its value at this time. The inâ€" Thursday, March 31st, 1932 BUY IN TIMMINS AND DISTRICT United Statesâ€"$3.00 Per Year According to a resolution passed at the mesting of the town council this week, it is the intention to publish a list of the names of all securing direct relief from the town. It is to be hoped that the council will not proceed with any plan that would prove intolerably cruel to many poor people who are sensitive even if unfortunate. The plan would not deter the unworthy from attempting to secure relief from the town. Indeed, the unworthy are about the only ones who would desire relief under such circumstances. There is a class that would not care a rap about publicity or anyâ€" thing else, but there are oth>rs in temporary illâ€"{ortune Britain. It should be comparatively easy for the United States to make peace in China, by radio, when it was able to win the Great War years ago before radio had reached its present perfection. Radio is certainly a wonderful invention. Over the radio last Friday night Canadians had the opportunity of learnâ€" ing that the United States had stopped the war in China, which, according to the same radio, was caused by Great At Kirkland Lake the transient unemployed have to walk a couple of miles for their two meals a day, the free meals being served at camps out in the country. On nice days literally hundreds of men take advantage of the opporâ€" tunity for free meals. On inclement days, however, it is said that only a few men walk the distance required to secure the food. Apparently, strong men.are not as hungry on stormy days as in pleasing weather. It is an interesting fact to know. The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasing, says that "The Advance will get nowhere in trying to make out that The Ottawa Journal is a nincompoop because of its stand for free speech. This proves how free speech is with both The Journal and The Tribune. The Advance never knew The Journal to advocate free speech. The Ottawa paper has advocated an imprissible sort of license for speech that in its heart it must know is neither practical nor desirable. As for trying to make The Journal a nincompoop, that must be more freedom of speech as it appears to The Northern Tribune. All The Advance desires to do in the matter is to prevent, if possible, both The Tribune and The Journal from becoming too nincompoorish, without due protest. sisting or attempting to assist to an end where there could not be any freedom of spsech. These newspapers pretend that expression of opinion is curbed in Canada, though their own columns show how free speech really is and how cheap at times it may become. At the mresent moment the trio persist in suggesting that section 98 of the criminal code is @ stumbling block to free speech toâ€"day. A reading of the section shows this to be wholly untrue and unfounded. As Attorneyâ€"General Price recently pointed out the campaign against this section is based on fabrication and falsehcod. Any man may express his views, he may advocate any type of government hss pleases, he may attack any and all govâ€" ernments, and he may howl in public for the most radical changes, and still not come under the ban of this section. What this sectiion bansâ€"the only thing it really forbidsâ€"is the advocacy of physical force and violence to effect changes. In other words it strikes at Oopin rebellion, at bloody revolt, it communismâ€"the policy that has no other foundation ‘han violence and assault upon others. Would this trio nmnake open sedition and the appeal to force lawful and ight? If not, what do they desire? Support to the comâ€" iunist effort to have this section of the code repealed is not rorking for further freedom of the press or liberty of ~pech, but quite the contrary. Advocating what amounts 0 no less than wicked license can do nothing other than ‘rejudice the true cause of free speech. The silly argument ‘hat men should be allowed to openly advocate any form of violence or brutality because otherwise the rot inside them may fester and cause greater evil is on a par with suggestâ€" ‘ng that the laws against theft and rape should be withâ€" drawn because otherwise the criminals might turn to murâ€" der in their repression. The whole matter resolves itself inâ€" to the question as to whether or not loyal and decent peoâ€" ple have any right to protection or safety. Reading the trio "of the alleged advocates of supposed free speech it can only be imagined that there are people who would give traitorous minorities any license they might request, while the majority would ‘be left without any rights or any liberâ€" ty or any privilegees, There are a hundred indications every week as to the broad measure of freedom enjoyed by press and public in this country. To talk otherwise is to misreâ€" present and also to add to the general tendency to curb reckless and unfounded and vicious utterance. can equal the quality and service and price of the peddlers and other outâ€"ofâ€"town concerns, and that accordingly every impulse should be toward making all purchases locally. The mpxdldler‘s method is the most expensive form of salesmanâ€" ship, lacking as it does sufficient volume of sales to meet the overhead costs necessary. The advantages of local tores that stand behind their goods, where merchandise may be examined and tested and where there is responsible guarantee of service and satisfaction,â€"these and other facts are to be emphasized for the general advantage. At the meeting of the Kiwanis committse and the merchants on Wednesday of this week numerous examples were quoted where conditions and experience make it .possible for the business men of Timmins and district to give better value than the extra specials offered by peddlers and others from afar. The business men have taken up the whole idea with enthusiasm and the public is showing equal interest. The result promises to be of marked advantage to the district and its people. Its local effect will be the district‘s conâ€" tribution to a benefit of much wider range. The Ottawa Journal, The Kartskasing Tribune and a certain or uncertain Toronto newspaper are earnestly strivâ€" ing to have freedom of speech and the liberty of the press curtailed. Probably one of these three newspapers does not know what it is doing; another would sooner be smart than be right; and the third of the trio would not understand what it was doing even if it knew. The three newspapers, however, while howling about free speech, are actually asâ€" wanis committee has come to the conclusion that patriotism and economy alike urge the "buy at home" principle. Local business men pay the taxes that maintain the various serâ€" vices of the town. They contribute to every worthy cause, They support all local sports. They give leadership and coâ€"operation in eyvery line that means a better town. Supâ€" porting local businesses means supporting the town itself. It means emrfoyment of local men. It means building up the town. If every individual in Thnmins and district gave the preference to local businesses in all purchases it would assure a prosperous and progressive town. The "buy at home" campaign is founded on common sense, If it can be made a success in Timmins and district, it will form an inspiration to other places and thus make for general beneâ€" fit and progress. The plan of the Kiwanis "Buy at Home" campaign inâ€" cludes the proving to the people of the town and district that the merchants and other men of the camp» WORKING AGAINST FRI*,E SPEECH ; nVs t t t m o t w W ap iss THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The Cochrane Northland Post suggests that The Advance is bitterly opposed to any thought of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Rallway being sold to the Canadian Naâ€" tional Raillways. The Advance thanks The Post for stating the idea so mildly. Despite the famous section 98, The Adâ€" vance rises to remark that to consider the sale of the Onâ€" tario railway to the Dominion lines would be a crazy comâ€" bination of inbecility and criminality so far as this province is concerned. The Ontario railway serves its territory and pays its way. The Dominion lines give neither fair local service nor any profits, The transfer would mean nothing but loss to Ontario, and especially to the North. The neglect of local traffic by the Canadian National lines is notorious. Perhaps if local traffic had received more attention the losses on the Dominion railways might not be so serious. In any event, there is not a single gain for Ontario in conâ€" who would feel humiliated beyond words. It should not b forgotten that people who have been citizens an taxpavers for years have more or less right to look to th town for help when in temporary need due to the times. The weedingâ€"out of the worthy from the unworthy is the work of the authoritiees. Publication of the list of those receilving relief would not deter the unworthy ones for they are not sensitive. Should worthy people who are sensitive, widows, families where the breadâ€"winner is ill, and others in misfortune be subjected to the added hardâ€" of publicity? The list of indigents is always available to taxpayers who desire the information. The Advance knows of no other town where a list of indigents is publishâ€" ed, and it is doubtful if the people of Timmins would care to be the first to have the questionable distinction suggestâ€" ed by the resolution. "As we have said, the Attorneyâ€"Genâ€" eral has done a public service in putâ€" ting Sir William‘s Jjudgment and a reâ€" view of the recent Communist case before the public in a convenient form. All those who really desire to get at the root of the matter and to underâ€" stand its implications should procure this pamphlet and carefully digest it. T‘wo things are certain, and these are: (1) That Col. Price was protecting Onâ€" tario and all of Canada when he forced Tim Buck and his colleagues to trial; and (2) that Premier Bennett served the country well when he refused a reading to the bill repealing the famous section 98. Another very satisfactory cirecumstance remains to be chronicled. That is, that the great mass of wageâ€" earners throughout the Dominion are "As is further emphasized, parliaâ€" mentary institutions, Britain‘s gift to the world, have been developed by slow degress, by careful reasoning and arguâ€" ment, by adapting our governmental machinery to the ever changing times. But the British way is not the Bolâ€" shevist way. The Bolshevist plan scorns democracy; it is to sweep away the existing fabric of civilization and substitute therefor the principles of Marx and Lenin. The Soviet idea is to ignore the people and to impose a dictatorship upon themâ€"to subject the majority to the ruthless rule of vinâ€" dictive minority. If such rule were to triumph here, there would be no more free speech in Canada. It is Communâ€" ism, thejefore, and not Section 98 of the Criminal Code, or any other part of the law of Canada that is a foe of free speech. "Any man may advocate whatever type of government he thinks most Gdesirable he may attack all existing institutions; he may argue for any, even the most radical changes; it is only when the ways of force, violence or physical inâ€" jury to persons or property is threatâ€" ened, advised or defended that an ofâ€" fence is committed, and the offender comes under the act. The object of the section is not to protest existing institutions against legitimate criticism, but to protect citizens against red revoâ€" lution and civil war, against the fire and sword of armed rebellion." "Hon. W. H. Price has done the pubâ€" lic a service by issuing in pamphlet form the judgment of the Court of Apâ€" peal in the case of the King vs. Buck and others. In a foreword the Attorâ€" neyâ€"General describes the finding of the Chief Justice, Sir William Mulock, confirming the verdict of a lower court and jury as consulting one cf the most important criminal trials which has ever been held in this country. "So far as is known this was the first proceeding in which the legality of the Communist party as such was called in question, and the result is virtually to declare that party an outlaw in the Dominion of Canada." In his judgâ€" ment the Chief Justice outlined the origin of the Communist Party of Canâ€" ada. He showed it to be an intregal part of the worldâ€"wide Communist Internationale and demonstrated that its aims and Oobjects are subversive of the world‘s peace. ‘‘Colonel Price strongly attacks those enemies of the State who have steadily misrepresented Section 98 of the Crimâ€" inal Code, under which the conviction was secured. . The Attorneyâ€"General says: "It has been repeatedly said by illâ€"informed or by deliberately untruthâ€" ful persons that Section 98 of the Criminal Code is an attack on the right of citizens to free speech. That stateâ€" ment is a fabrication." After quoting the section in full, Mr. Price proceeds: There are some newspapers like The Ottawa Journal and The Kapuskasing Tribune that pretend to believe that Section 98 of the Criminal Code has something to do with free speech. The fact is that it does not hamper free scneech at all. As Mayor Drew phrased the matter on a recent occasion Secâ€" tion 98 does not affect any decent loyal man in any way. The Toronto Mail ard Empire recently had a good ediâ€" torial reference to the matter.
