The Budget Canadians have been waiting with some anxiety for the budget speech which was delivered by the Hon. E. N. Rhodes, min- ister of finance, in the house of commons yesterday. Now it is here, and the people of this country are faced with substantial increases in the burden of taxation they have to bear. That was expected, and in some respects, the items of taxation are just what the country expected. : The finance minister has no light task in preparing his budget. It is not pleasant for a minister of finance to contemplate telling the country that its debt has in- creased $119,505,000, as he had to do. But these are extraordinary days, with expen- ditures which cannot be considered by any means normal, and the only consolation is that things are not worse. Canada is still able to meet her obligations as they fall due, and is able to face the future with a vigorous optimism, as the minister said, confident in the hope that when better days come, Canada will be in the van of pro- gress. The taxes which have been increased, and the new taxes imposed, are all revenue taxes. The government is determined to pay its way, to balance its budget, and it has seized upon every possible line of revenue-producing activity to do so. The increases in sales, excise and income taxes were expected, and so occasion no surprise. In other directions, however, the govern- ment has hit hard. The increase in the tax on cheques from two cents to three cents is simply a means of securing added revenue, and should - cause little disturbance to business, beyond increasing the cost of bank transactions. A hard blow has been hit, however, by the five cent tax placed on all telegrams, cables, radio messages and long distance telephone calls. This tax will produce a very large amount of revenue, but its effect will be felt to a large degree by telegraph and telephone companies. It is only reasonable to expect that people will be more careful in future in sending telegrams and cables and in using the long distance telephone, and this is bound to he reflected in de- creased business, No changes have been made in the tariff. In view of the coming Imperial Economic Conference, it was expected that the gov- ernment would leave the tariff schedules alone, pending decisions on what mutual . preferences are to be brought into effect by the conference. The budget, on the whole, is a hard times budget. The government realizes that greatly increased revenue is neces- sary, and has not spared itself nor the peo- ple in spreading the burden over as large " a field as possible. The taxes, in a general way, will bear most heavily on those who are best able to pay, since the sales tax, income tax and telegram, cable and long distance telephone taxes will be paid in proportion to the purchasing powers of the individual. Increased taxation is never pleasant. But sometimes it is unavoidable and that is the situation today. So the people of Canada will just have to tighten their belts another notch, grin and bear it, and hope that conditions will improve so rapidly that the new taxes will not remain for many years on the statute books. Motor License Fees Motorists in Ontario have been doing a good deal of grumbling because of the in- crease in motor license fees this year. It is highly interesting to note, however, that in spite of the increase, the fees in Ontario are still much lower than in any other province of the Dominion. This is shown in the following tables, which give the license fees payable in the different provin- ces on certain specified types of cars: ! Ford Chevrolet La Salle Four Six Eight rons 3 7400 $12.00 $20.00 17.20 18.95 32.50 25.90 28.00 44.50 21.60 23.40 42.30 18.20 19.95 33.50 11.50 14.00 29.00 17.50 20.00 32.50 Alberta .... 17.50 © 20.00 32.50 B.

With these figures before them, perhaps the motorists of this province will feel a little better satisfied that the provincial government is not really over-doing the license fee busi- ness. De Valera Cools Down A decided change has taken place in the attitude of Eamon de Valera and his gov- ernment of the Irish Free State in the last two or three weeks, Immediately after his success in the election, De Valera announc- ed to the world that he proposed to cut the ties binding the Free State to the British Empire as one of its overseas Dominions. He proposed to abolish the oath of allegi- ance to the British crown, and to discon- tinue payment of the land annuities to Great Britain, both of these being require- ments of the treaty by which the Irish Free State was brought into being. Under the influence of his ministers, however, De Valera has greatly modified his original attitude. The firm stand taken by Great Britain in connection with the Irish treaty may have had something to do with that change of heart, It is not likely that the Irish Free State cabinet would look with equanimity on the possi- bility of an open breach with Great Britain, The British connection is much too valu- able to Ireland, from the standpoint of trade and commerce, to be cast aside lightly and it is likely that De Valera will have to drop his radical republican ideas, for the time being, at least. The real truth of the matter is that the Irish Free State would lose many times more than it could possibly gain by sever- ing the tie binding the country to Great Britain. The Free State is so dependent upon Britain to provide a market for its products that the loss would be tre- mendous were it to cut loose from Britain and take upon itself the status of a foreign country. And that is exactly what would happen were De Valera to put his complete program into effect. The Irish government of today is finding that it is one thing to advocate a policy when in opposition, but quite a different thing to put that policy into effect when in power. Power brings responsibilities, and the realization of responsibility quite often has a mollifying effect upon radical temperaments. That is what has happened to De Valera, not of his own volition, per- haps, but rather because the ministers of his cabinet are taking a longer view of the situation than he is doing, and are more concerned about the future prosperity about tHeir country than they are about gratifying the personal ambition of their leader. Editorial Notes The motto will now be "stop and think" before using the long distance telephone. So the board of education has won its point, even to the extent of having the city pay the lawyer's bills, Savings in the Penny Bank in Oshawa are still increasing. Habits of thrift are usually acquired during hard times. Canada's debt is up by nearly $120,000, 000. That helps to wipe out a large part of the debt reductions made during the prosperous years of 1925 to 1929, The government of Newfoundland has found out that public opinion cannot be ignored too long. Eventually it is bound to break out in an unexpected way, as it did. | | Other Editor's Comments PEOPLE DEMAND IT (St. Catharines Standard) We can't have our cake and eat it too.. 1f people expect the government to provide all the services demanded of it, they must also expect to pay. To a considerable extent rizht in this province, there is socialism "in our day." ONE MEMBER ENOUGH (Toronto Telegram) The rumor which has been busy with Sir Henry Drayton's name has suggested that upon his retire- ment the Liquor Control Board would be reorganiz- ed with 'two instead of three members. . It might well be reorganized as a one-man board. There is no more necessity tor three commission- ers than for three ministers of education. One man at $10,000 a year would amply meet all requirements in place of three men, as at present, at an aggregate of $40,000 a year. BITS OF VERSE CLOISTER CHIMES 'Tis the hush of a Sabbath eventide When the sun is a dying glow, And the leaves of the trees are rustling As the breeze blows to and fro, Then the cloisters sound, with the chimes of bells 'That ring ever sweet and clear; That makes you feel that God is there, Though you cannot see--you only hear. "Tis the faith of fathers as of old, Tis the thoughts of the heavenly love; "Tis the widely far flung ageless cry I'hat comes to the earth from above. "T'is.the hush of the holy eventide The cloister chimes and the sacred air.' That awakens the glory, wrapt in our souls, Each bell an angel, : each chime a prayer, ~Austin' Francis Leyland.
