No As The Advance suggeste('i last week the real cause of the present ecoâ€" notzic¢ ills of the world may be traced past Labor and past Employer to the wronug standards theld by the people themselves. There aré injustices, foequalities, hardships and evils that have grown too entrenched in the system for either Labor or Capital to ic able to sucessfully remove them urtder present conditions. The foundâ€" dation of the trouble really lies in the faet that on the one hand there are wmen fwith â€" enough selfislhness and thoughtlessness to unduly profit at the expense of the people in general,â€" t take more than their share, to *hog it‘ to the limit,â€" on the o?tlter hand the people th general are ready to acclaim and respect these people so long as * they have the money,."‘ There is a deference to rickhes, and a contempt for public serâ€" vice, that cannot fail to breed the woarst of evils. The men of public smrit who tries to serve his day and esneration is viewed with suspicion and charged with deep ulterior moâ€" tives, until it is learned that che is actaally sincere and honest, then he is often looked upon as A fool for us psics. If men who built up fortunes 4y extortion, by mean oppression, by processes no better than highway robbery and blackmail «were treated by the public as the eriminals they are, certain forms of high finâ€" ance and profiteering would not be so A SUGGESTION FOR THE CURE OoF ECONOMIC ILLS ° "*WEDNESDAY, JULY 2nd. 1919 make more than 12 per cent interest per year on this, he was branded as a usiirer and laid himself liable to the taw and its penalties. . If he turned ‘his $100 .00 into clothing, tor instancs he could secure unlimited â€" interest on his money. _A recent case coming Jefore the Roval Commission, inâ€" vestigating the Cost of Living had shown one firm to have made 300 per eent profit on their «:apiml last year. this firm dealt in elothing,â€"one of the necessities of modern lif>,â€" and their exorbitant profit eould be matâ€" ched by many .others supplying artiâ€" eles that were absolutely necossary to qivresentâ€"day â€" litfe, Mr. Devaney thought that if a man who chargad â€" more fhan twelve per cant per annuim \ for the loan of money should be scorâ€" ned as a usurer, then the man or snen who would charge 300 per cont NRA EAL o Mb PE s uid o T90 0.A + dress suits will be marl\q ut disgrace or regard except as warranted by the men inside;â€"when tais is the pubho attitude, there will be a real end of nw presént problem of the high eost ¢ living and the other troâ€" ubles that alarm the world toâ€"day. 1t will, however, take the world some time to reach this common sense reaâ€" tization and in the meantime someâ€" tling must ‘be done to smooth things <lwt)l O At the Board of FTrade meeting last week Mr. J. A.â€" Devansy made a that is worthy of wide pubâ€" licity and eareful eonsideration by the people in general #a present method for alleviating the evils that have grown around the modern methods of commence and trade,. _ Mr. Devaney suxgested that the law dimit the proâ€" fits that may be made by‘ manufacâ€" turers _ and morchants â€" and others . He pointed out that/if a man hbad §100,00 in gold and attempted to United States â€" $3.00 a Subscription Rates : ; . . _â€" _ â€" ONTARIO TELEPHONES : â€" _ 5 Residence 112 per annum for the use of money for | the making of life‘s necessaries | should also come in for due share of the general scorn. He thought furâ€"| ther that the law should provide that no manufacturer or retailer or other should he allowed to charge exorbitant â€"profits, or interest, or charges. If the law could step in and stop usury in the one case, surely it could be used to prevent undue exâ€" ploitation, with its attendant train of hardship and evil in the other cases, Mr. Devaney argued. His suggestâ€" tion was along the lines of a limitaâ€" tion of profits from whatever source. He suggested no particular percentâ€" age as a fair one, no doubt considerâ€" ing that the fair rate would vary with different lines of business. The eleâ€" ment of risk in some instances would suggest the necessity for greater reâ€" turns, though it need not be forgotâ€" ten that the concerns with the most assured lines of trade are those that today seem to be tempted to take the greatest toll from the public. â€" The eold storage plants, the textile comâ€" |bines and some of the producers of |staple food lines might be quoted as among those most inclined to ‘‘usâ€" ury‘* of the one type. The adjustâ€" ment of the various percentages of [profit, the allowance for legimate exâ€" {penses, the provision for depreciation, etc.,â€"all ‘these are matters of detail that may easily be adjusted once the of the limitation of profits is accepted and enforeed. It is not enough to suggest that such a plan is impractical because of the accountâ€" ing difficulties involved. The country that ean survive the intricate workâ€" ings out of the Government Income Tax regulations, for instance, need not fear even the accounting necessâ€" ary for a ‘""‘limitation of profits." None but those who now ‘*unduly profit*‘ need fear the working out and enforcing of Mr. Devaney‘s suggesâ€" tion. It may sound radical and disâ€" concerting to those who view _ the world through Barnum‘s eyes, ~but there is always this comfort that the adical view of toâ€"day becomes very often the accepted conservative law ofâ€" the morrow. In any event Mr. Devaney‘s proposal is worthy of genâ€" eral consideration. pleasing features of the gaine was the zgood sportsmanship shown by all the members of both teams. â€" Mr,. W . G. A. successfully acted as base umpire for the game. â€" The lingâ€"up for the two teams was as follows:â€" South Poreupineâ€" Grey and Drumâ€" mond, battery; Ellis Pilsworth, Murâ€" ray, Biuuns, Levine,; Fell, Thomas and Graham. â€" Timminsâ€" Halford, Welâ€" don, MeDonald, Moore, King, Lake, MceCoy, MeNiven, Wray and «Jemâ€" mett. _ The game introduced two new Timmins pitchers, Halford and King, bothâ€" of whose work <â€"was watcehed with interest and pleasure by the erowd. As it was his first time an the box for years, Halford did good work. â€" King went into the box in the fAfth innings, with the bases full, and put the first two batters out with only the six balls thrown. South End did not get a run from King. This inâ€" teresting game closed with the seore 8 to 5 in favor of the Timmins team. The Boys‘ Baseball in the evening was between the Timmins Publec School _ and a ~picked town _ team. Charlie Jemmett pitched for the P.S. team, and tlhis lively match resulted in a win for the P.S. lads by the score of 24 to 10. Mr. Vincent Woodbury umpired to the satisfaction of all. The Tugâ€"ofâ€"War proved one of the most exciting events of the day. The event was scheduled for 4.50 but had hbeen postpaned until after supper on account of other events conflicting. There was some difficulty then in getâ€" ting the teams tngethe}, and eventug!â€" Iy a team was picked up on the grounds to pull against the S(fl)lllllil("h-i er team present. This match, with | tlhe prize of a cheque for $25,00, was won by <the Schumacher team, the the pickedâ€"up team xor ‘being heavy enough to hold the strong men f_'romi Schitmacher. _ After this tugâ€"ofâ€"war was over, the Italian team came on the grounds ready to enter, only to. find that the entries ‘had closed, and. the Schumacher team was not read.\'l to forego tlreir right to consider the event as over and won. There was sonie disappointment, / but this was soon changed to interest and then to excitement.. Mr. Leo Macioli solved ‘the difficulty, like the good sport he is, by offering a prize of $25.00 cash for the winning team, it the Schumâ€" acher team would pull against the Timmins team. With the prospect of another $25.00‘% in view the Schuâ€" macher team agreed to the second match. â€""The Timmins team this time was a fine looking lot of men and they certainty had the pull all right. Mr. Masciolo chegsred them on with eties of **Timmins, Timmins!‘ and the ecrowd took up the cheering, the good sportsmanship _of the contestants appealine to all. ~There were thundâ€" evin‘z x rounds ‘of esncouragements from all sides, and both teams pulled as if their lives depended on it. For seâ€" veral minutes neither side could gain any advantage, then one side and then the other would gain a fraction of an inch. ~Then gradualy the Timmins team pulled the Schumacher men over the latter team being unable from sheer muscular exhaustion to hold out any longer. The winning by the Timmins team was .the signal for burst after burst of applause and cheers, for this was one of the most strenously contested tugsâ€"ofâ€"war ever seen ‘here. The â€" amusement booths on the grounds and the iceâ€"cream and reâ€" tfreshnment booths were attractions for the day and added to the success of the heat and the dust were about the only drawhacks to a most successful event.
