ALLâ€"BRAN Canadian Pacific ntented Cows sUDBUERY PAPER MAKES RETRACTION TO COUPLE In despatches sent out some days ago fram and in the columns of The Sudbury Star reference was made to the alleged practice of communists in Sudbury district of being married or divorced simply through advertiseâ€" ments in the Finnish paper, Vapaus. Sample advertisements were quoted in regara to the alleged marriages and divorees on this newspaper plan. The Advance in referring in the despatches, last week suggested that the sample: "divorce" announcements might not be anything else than it purported to be, and that was a "notice of change of names.": The Advance did not use any names in the matter as there should be no reflection cast upon anyone until the facts are clearly established. As The Advance pointed out, it has been a .more Oor less common custom for Finnish communists to live together as man â€" and wife without "benefit of clergy," or the use of any legal marâ€" riage form. This has proved of decided disadvantage at times, especially to the women and children concerned, and it was this feature of the case that The Advance emphasized,. This paper sugâ€" gestea that "Vapaus," the Finnish newspaper at Sudbury whose title is the Finnish word said to be the equiâ€" valent for "Liberty" in English, should bend some effort in seceking "liberty" for those misguided Finnish women communists and the unfortunate childâ€" ren who suffered from the oneâ€"sided plan of ‘"marriage" adopted by some communists in this country. After The Sudbury Star had published a sample of what it believed to be a "marriage by adavertisement only" it was found that the couple mentioned in the odd note or advertisement in "Vapaus" had actually been legally married by an English Church minister. The Star at once published a full and fair reâ€" traction to the couple concerned who were found by The Star‘s investigation to be respectable and estimable Canaâ€" dian citizens. It may be noted in passing that The Sudbury Star has done a very notable good work in callâ€" ing attention to the improper activiâ€" ties of communists in the North Land. The publicity has freed a lot of good Finnish people from the tyranny of the "BReds," who were bullying their fellowâ€"countrymen who wished to be good peaceful Canadian citizens. It would be too bad if a side issue should take away from the good work accomâ€" plished bY The Star in its straight fight against the autocracy of the Finnish Reds and their intolerant treatment of their fellow countrymen who hold Canada in proper regard.

If one were to search for the outstandâ€". ing characteristic of the economic situâ€" | ation of Ontario he would find it in the | great diversity and stability of our proâ€" \ ductive industry. We can count upon ‘a yield of about $500,000,000 from our \farms, and yet only about 40 per cent. of the estimated possible farm land of ‘ Ontario is under cultivation. One can readily see that a great expansion of | agriculture is possible in Ontario under ithe most favourable conditions. . | manufacturing interests have reached ‘truly imposing dimensions, . With an tannual output reaching $1,677,000,000 we have added $350,000,000 to the reâ€" | cord during the course of five years. | Steadily the mineral output of Ontario has grown until it has reached $100,â€" ;000,000 annually and yet the possibiliâ€" | ties of the industry are scarcely realized | our forests are yid‘ding a harvess which markets at about $120,000,000. iOur lakes and streams yield commerâ€" cial fish food to the value of $3,000,000 | or $4,000,000, but furnish the game fish which draw millions of tourists to Onâ€" :tario. These tourists, who number from 7,000,000 to 8,000,000, spend from |$150,000,000 to $200,000,000 annually in |this Province. This is a source of ‘wealth that, thanks to our excellent highways and widespread publicity, has developed enormously of late, and is capable of greater expansion. I think these facts are sufficient to show that the outlook for Ontario is good, both for the coming year and those that folâ€" low. We are, in my judgement, enterâ€" _ing upon a period of unprecedented exâ€" pansion which will contribute to the | prosperity of all Canada. From Forest Mine, Lake, Stream, Farm and Factory Comes Steady sStream of Wealth, Says Premier. FORTUNATE OF THE PROVINCE OF OX; ARIO In the recent annual Financial Surâ€" vey number of The Globe, Hon. G. Howard Ferguson gave an inspiring reâ€" view of the possibilities of this province. In the article referred to the Premier says : â€" ; "It is a good old custom at this seaâ€" son to review the past in order to find inspiration: for the future. This task is not a difficult ond to the people of Ontario. Year in and year out the sum | total of the wealth of the community| inpcreases. In every important line of production there is continuous advance, not always uniformly great, but on the whole uninterrupted and encouraging. "I draw attention to these facts beâ€" cause of the intimate association the Provincial Government has with the social and material welfare of the peoâ€" ple. It is our belief that the chief purâ€" pose of government is to provide public services. Within its sphere the Govâ€" ernment of Ontario seeks to promote not only the material interests of the Province, but also the comfort, happiâ€" ness and welfare of our people. In doâ€" ing this we have to maintain a variety of services, some of which function for the entire community, while others have a more restricted application. For instance, the services for the mainâ€" tenance of law and order, and for the promotion of agriculture, education and public health are fundamental, and therefore are legitimate tax upon the general revenue. "On the other hand, there are public services of which the cost is rightly borne, wholly or in part, by those who directly benefit by them. The oustandâ€" ing instance of this nature is the genâ€" eration and distribution of Hydroâ€"Elecâ€" tric power. Here we have a great pubâ€" lic benefit provided without any burâ€" den to the general taxpayer, because the financial load is carried by the conâ€" sumer. The same principle is worked out in connection with workmen‘s comâ€" pensation, toward the cost of which the Government formerly contributed, but which is now entirely borne by those for whose interest the system was established. Another instance is that of the Fire Marshall‘s Department, which is carried by the fire insurance companies, who are its chief beneficiâ€" aries. "The Government feels that the widâ€"| er application of this principle is fiable. Consider the case of our highâ€" ways. While it is proper that a portion of the cost of highways, relatively small, perhaps, should be spread over the whole Province because of the benefit the people as a whole receive from them, the greater part of the expense should be carried by those who use the highways and in proportion to the amount of use and benefit derived from them. Hence the gasoline tax has been accepted as a fair method of distributâ€" ing the financial burden. The same principle is being applied with respect to our public institutions. There should be few people in this community who are not able to contribute something, either directly or indirectly, to the cost of their own maintenance in thes> places. Yet, out of 10,000 of the patiâ€" ents in our institutions 5,000 pay noâ€" thing toward their upkeep, and the ‘other 5.000, with few exceptions, pay only a small proportion of the cost of their maintenance. We are endeavourâ€" ing to place the cost of this service, more and more upon those who personâ€" ally, or through their dependents, reâ€" c>ive the advantage of it, and who are fairly able to relieve the general taxâ€" payer to that extent. "We might go on and enumerate | other public services similarly situated but I have mentioned sufficient to deâ€" monstrate the principal, which is a sound one, that the cost of special pubâ€" lic services should be borne to a greater extent by those who are specially beneâ€" fited. The application of this principle gives flexibility to our financial policy, and enables us to deal with particular requirements without disturbing the: balance between revenue and expendiâ€" ture. C "Our sources of revenue are not cap-‘ able of indefinite expansion. We have great natural wealth confided to us for the benefit of present and future genâ€" erations. We can count upon Cconâ€" siderable income from corporation taxâ€" ation, but this has definite limitations Such income as we receive from taxaâ€" tion of luxuries, such as amusements and race tracks, is of a fluctuating naâ€" ture, as also are the succession duties.

In the case we are reâ€" ferring to this young felow undertook to write indecent stuff in the books of his sister. The father remonstrated and the aileged assault took place. Magistrate Atkinson gave the culprit a wellâ€"merited talking to and sentencâ€" ed him to from 3 to 18 mouths." The New Liskeard Speaker last week published the following paragraph:â€" JACK HAMMEL ASKING FOR BETTER ROUTE TO RED LAKE Mr. John Hammell, president of the Northern Aerial Minerals Exploration Co., was in Toronto last week as leader of a delegation of mining men and others interested in regard to a better route to the Red Lake fields. The deâ€" putation interviewed Hon. Mr. Finlayâ€" son, Minister of Lands and Forests, emphasizing the great possibilities of Red Lake area, and urging the fact that only through development of more adequate means of transportation can the field be properly developed and progress as it should. The deputation asked that the water route to the Red Lake and Woman Lake fields be imâ€" proved by the department. Hon. Mr. Finlayson gave a sympathetic audience to the delegation and promised to have a survey made with a view to alleviaâ€" ting some of the difficulties pointed out by the delegation. The delegation were pleased with the attention given by Hon. Mr. Finlayson, and are hopeful that some good will be accomplished by the visit to the Minister, as Hon. Mr. Finlayson was placed in possession of all the facts of the case with a number of practical suggestions for imâ€" provement of conditions. IF WOLVES WANDERED ROUND QUEEN‘S PARK AT TORONTO In an editorial note last week The Pembroke Standardâ€"Observer touches again on the matter of doâ€" ing somthing to rid the country of the pest of wolves. In a recent letter in The Advance Jack Miner, the noted nature lover, made it clear that the wolves are killing off the deer in this country. That is bad enough, but it is also a fact that wolves are doing damage in settled parts of the province and are proving a menace that needs attention in such sections as Muskoka Renfrew and other localties, not to mention what is known as this North Land In this North they have causâ€" ed much loss through the killing of sheep and the chasing of cattle on ocâ€" casion. In referring to the matter the editorial note in The Pembroke Standâ€" ardâ€"Observer says:â€" ‘A gray timber wolf was recently shot in Sullivan Township, Bruce County, and it is said that it is forty years since a wolf has been shot so far south in this Province. Should a wolf wander along Queen‘s Park it is altogether likely that the bounty would be increased, but what happens on the Manitoulin, or in Renfrew county, or in Renfrew county, or in districts bordering on the Alongquin Park, or in the great Northern hinterland does not count." to contribute to the maintenance of all| the public services; but, so far as this| taxation serves to restrict the drinklng habit. which is its best sorvice, it is | a check upon itself. l "If we are to meet our responsibilities | courageously, energetically and adeâ€"| quately, we must recognize that the public services of Ontario are legitiâ€" mately expanding, and necessarily must expand as we grow and prospeéer. The cost must be met. It is the function of the Government to ensure that the finâ€" ancial burden is equitably distributed so that our progress may not be hinâ€" dered or retarded by lack of wisdom and forsight, and that we may realize our legitimate aspirations. Proper exâ€" penditures are in reality investments, the dividend from which comes in the form of general progrtss and expansion, from which every one benefits."
