Tresidder, representative, ade ide oor WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1927 == BUILDING OSHAWA Monday night's session of the City Council was remarkable in several ways, A large .mass of business was transacted; acrimonius 'debate was markedly absent, but criticism of boards and departments was freely offered and accepted without anger; and several steps were taken which distinctly look towards the Oshawa of tomorrow, "One of these deals with the naming of a committee to investigate and report on a pro- posed subway under the C.N.R. tracks at the Oshawa Junction intersection, Another was the appointment of a committee to report on the proposed amalgamation of Parks Board, Cemetery Board of Governors, and Town Plan- ning Commission, Last but not least as an indication of the Council's willingness to co- operate with the city's industries, was the ap- proving of pavement requested by General Motors to further its employees' housing scheme, The Oshawa Daily Times was sharply criti- cised in this regard. A reference was made to "catering to newspapers" that was, perhaps, unjust. The Times wants no one to cater to it, and hopes that the aldermen will be actuated by a similiar high motive when the next civic election looms on the horizon. In the mean- time, this newspaper is proud to congratulate the Council on remedying, to the best of its ability, a mistake made at a previous session. Everybody makes mistakes, The wise man corrects them, Only fools think they are bor perfect and not subject to correction, ' THIS DELAY WISE The City Council acted advisedly in following Ald, Swanson's suggestion that the request of The Oshawa Railway Company for permission to inaugurate a bus service to the C.N.R. sta- tion and thus permit better street car service between Cedardale and North Oshawa in which many of Oshawa's industrial workers are much interested. On the face of it, the Oshawa Railway Com- pany's request seems entirely in order. More, it appears as a long step forward in improving the city's traffic service. Different opinions may be expressed about the slightly higher rates which it is proposed to charge. Yet, despite the urgency of the Oshawa Rail- way Company's request and the admitted fact that the officials of the company have nothing further from their thoughts than "putting something across the city," the vital interest of Oshawa in its urban transportation demands vigilance that, at times, may seem to err on the over-cautious side. However, The Oshawa Daily Times believes that the City Council is overlooking the fact that there is a sure way of expediting its own and publie business generally, with full guar- antee of the city's interest being safeguarded. LAWS AND CRIME A New York magistrate says the gravity of officials. The second reason given by this judge for - the disturbing prevalence of crime is frequent Aailure of juries to convict, even when the evi- dence warrants and demands a verdict of guilty. | A This trend in the jury box, if it amounts to that, he attributes to the same disregard for - law that is responsible for the "crime wave." These are phases of the crime situation if they are not contributing factors, Many rea- sonable heads will question the statement that men and women commit crimes because of an inherent "disregard for law" or in the hope of beating the law. The criminal's chance of es- cape is smaller today than ever in the past, and yet one hears it said crime was never more prevalent. The threat of arrest and punish- ment has always existed, but se has crime. Suppose there are some laws which afford the criminal undue protection, Would the pub- lic voluntarily surrender them? Knowing that the idea 'of changing these laws is blasphemy to many judges and lawyers one would answer that the law-abiding will cling to these statu- tory and constitutional protections as jealously as will the criminal, It is not impossible in this civilized age for the life of liberty of inno- cent people to be placed in jeopardy. THE LOQUACIOUS SEX Believing that women talk more than men and more than necessary and knowing how men of his profession suffer from feminine garrulity, a family physician has set out to probe for the cause of this feminine gift of loquacity, He arrived at a diagnosis by examining the symptoms, which is strictly according to Hoyle in medicine, In other words, he observed that words from a woman will draw a grunt, or, at the most, a laconic sentence from a man, The truth is that the female's mind is more volatile, no matter what its depth, than that of the male, It demands less excitation to cause it to evaporate in vocalities, For the explanation of this difference be- between the two sexes one must go far back into the history of man, to the time of primi- tive man, In later times women have worked, buf in the childhood of mankind theirs was not to hunt, kill, fight, dig or build, These things were the sole prerogatives of their hairy lords and masters, All they had to do was to bear children, and later on, perhaps, to cook food brought to them by the males, The main busi- ness of their lives was to kill time, and this they did most effectively by chattering it to death, It was in those dark primal aeons of anti- quity that the seeds of garrulity were sown, Prehistoric woman learned to talk and then made the most of that acquired ability to keep herself from losing her mind, All honour to her, If history repeats itself and women continue pouring into the business and professional life of the world, the time may come when the female of the species will be no more talkative than the male, And there is some evidence that the latter is well on the way to meet her, EDITORIAL NOTES Many a woman goes visiting hoping they are not at home, Auto speeders are making Sunday a day of putting to rest. The cost of keeping up appearances is hard- ly ever worth it. Why don't they make hinged windshields for driver to go through without breaking the glass. The modern idea of exercise is to take a good stiff motor ear ride of ten miles before starting for work. A few more generations and the children won't know what the old folks are talking about if they quote something about leading a horse to water, In a single vear the circulation of books at the New York public library has fallen off 500,- 000. Well, there isn't much time to read be- tween dances. Scientists are still puzzled over the location of the original Garden of Eden, a matter al- ready settled in the mind of practically any chamber of commerce secretary. | Bit of Verse It may not be my lot to win The crowd's applause, the world's regard; But I can turn my back to sin, And keep my worthiness unmarred. I may mot have the gifts to gain High favor or to win renown; But I can manfully refrain From ever pulling others down. I may mot win the splendid race That calls for strength and speed and nerve; But I can keep from being base, However humbly I must serve. --8. E.

But this causes her no embarrassment, Under her free trade policy she takes her pay- ments from her foreign dehtors in the products of their countries, In other words, her trade balance shows a large visihle excess of imports over exports, NEATLY PUT (Philadelphia Public Ledger) A famous Russian dancer in this country who is himself a good mus- fclan, was a gnest at a reception, where, without wineing he listened to a pianoforte performance more vigorous than skilful, on the part of the daughter of the house. "And how do you like the young lady's playing?" some one asked the dancer. "Ah, madam," replied he, very tactfully, "I think the young lady has a very firm tread." ARE FARMERS SHIFTLESS? (E. W, Howe's Monthly) Years ago I recall a type of farmer who had a large barn and small house. He had a great number bf horses, cattle, nork, animals, hay. corn and wheat, and a large barn was necessary to accommodate them, whereas a smaller structure would care properly for a wife and five or six children, and possibly a hired man or two; humans are smaller than horses and cattle, This type of farmer was usually prosperous, and a usefu] teacher in his neighborhood because of good farming, and thrift. There was no mortgage on his farm, and frequent- ly he had spare money to invest, af- ter he reached middle age. But he did not suit the Good Gentlemen. They said he thought more of his live stock than he did of his wife and children; so they wrote letters to the papers to denounce him. With the result that farmers are now as shiftless as town men. INCOME TAX COLLECTIONS (Ottawa Jourmpal) When, last session, Mr. Robb, the Finance Minister, made additional cuts and exemptions from the in- come tax, it was thought that the Treasury would lose several mil- lions. On Saturday, however, Mr. Euler, the Minister of National Revenue an- nounced that income tax collections Yor the first five months of the fis- cal year exceeded the collections for the same period last year by $100, 000. The sum taken in for the five months fis $47,500,000. Two deductions can be made from this. The first is that under the re- organized Department of National Revenue collections are being made more rigorously. The second is that high taxes do mot mecessarily bring large revenues. The United States, during recent years, has been consistently reduc- ing taxation without greatly reduc- 'ng its income. Reductions simply meant that more capital was freed for development and enterprise that individuals earned more money. and could pay more to the Trea- sury. The lesson of this, as well as that lost, it is to be hoped, on Mr. Robb Canada's income tax can be brought to the United States level without harm to either the Treasury or the country. DANGEROUS 70 PUBLIC WFL- FARE (From the Goderich Sigmal) "The scheme of greup govern- ment which Miss Macphail so per- sistently expoumds is dangerous to the public welfare -- or would be dangerous if it were mot - merely 'oolish and futile. It would, if car- ried into effect practically disfcan- chise large elements of the popula- tioh in every riding; for imstance. in North Huron, it would lower to an fnferior degree of citizenship all but farmer voters. Tha; is a low estimate of public life that would make material considerations only the basis of political panties or groups. We might as wisely, or as foolishly, form our melitical groups on peligious , Or on ra- of our own experience, will not be |: dle-aged respectively. This scheme is futile, because mo one can _rea- sonably believe that it will be adopted within any limitable period of time. Meanwhile, time and en- ergy are being wasted in discuss- ing it which could be employed to much better purpose in education and organization to secure those re- forms in political affairs and econo- mie conditions which the farmers of Canada are justly and reason- ably seeking. Miss Macphail has nothing but scorn and derision for those in public life who do mot agree with her peculiar ideas, even though they may be as sincerely devoted as she is to the welfare of the producing classes of our coun- try. The narrowness and intoler- ance which she constantly displays in her addresses render impossible any large syccess for her cause." CALL DAILY TIMES FOR BULLETINS ON DEMPSEY-TUNNEY While the outcome of the Demp- sev-Tunney bont at Chicago does not mean anything to Oshawa sport followers, there is, however, a tre- mendous amount of local interest in t It. So great is the interest that The Oshawa Daily Times, in its effort to keep the public informed as to the latest changes and results in activities of the sporting world, will operate an up-to-the-minute tele- phone service tomorrow night.
