Dear Sir:â€"In answer to the "Lady from Glengarry," whose address is now Connaught, I wisch to tell my lady friend that I don‘t mean all the pecple down in Old Ontario are like the monkey I spoke of in a former letter. She is right when she says it was men from Old Ontario who helped to build the North. I am one of them and have been north for 29 years and in all that time I have put my feet on Old Ontaric ground for two weeks only. Niagara Falls is my home town. I have done my share to put Connaught Station on the map.

Box 1239 Fast and Efficient Service Call or Telephone Correspondent The Cochrane Post editorial then proceeds as follows:â€" "As The Advance so aptly puis it, poor and the middle classes. The ediâ€" torial quotation from The Advance conâ€" cluded with these words:â€"‘"The govâ€" ernment should look for sacrifice but they should first demand it from men who have piofitted so greatly in recent years from privileges and concessions relating to the resources of this counâ€" try. This may not be a popular policy with the high finance folks but it would please the people in general, and it would be fair and reasonable." that those who have deorived the most material benefit from the country should now shoulder a jus share of the burden, surely a reasonable proposition. The following remarks of The Porcupin: Advance on the subject are worthy of rer‘rcduction giving as they do, the viewpoint of the average c‘tizen, and coming as they do, from a source enâ€" tirely free from any suspicion of either socialistic or communistic leanings:â€" The post then quotes from a recent editcorial in The Advance in which it is pointed out that people in Canada are patrictic and ready to make sacrifices, but that there must be sacrifice on the part of the wealthy as well as by the With much of the time in the Dominâ€" ion prarliament being taken up with what is no more and no less than simâ€" ple political claptrap and chéap wit, with honours in this deplorable conâ€" test about evenly divided between the parties, it is pleasing to note that most of the newspapers are taking a much higher stand. The Toronto for instance, was one of the first to demand that certain defamatory statement made by cheap politician "to enterâ€" tain his audience," though it reflected seriously upon the premier of Canada, should ‘be duly withdrawn at once. The attitude of the newspapers on Bsauharnols has been to the effect that the unsavoury mess should be cleaned up, regardless of politics, In regard to the "depwession," the newspapers genâ€" erally have not wasted time on stressing too much the idea of where the fault lies, but they have given much study and thought to constructive suggestions for remedy and improvement. Among the newspapers that have published thoughtful and able articles on the imâ€" mediate problem of the movemnent, The Cochrane Northland Post is worthy of special mention. Recently, The Cochâ€" rane Post has been carrying on a litâ€" tle argument with The Financial Post, of Toronts, and anyone following the discussicn with open mind must b:e tempted to admit that from the standpcint of logic, patriotism, scund sense and regard for humanity, The Cochrane Post has the better of the argument all along the line. In a word, Ths Cochrane Post argues, as The Advance and other newspapers have done, that cutting of wages «by Governments and others only adds to the difficulty, and that the real soluâ€" tion lies in providing work for as many as possible, regardless of expense for the moment, but with the idea that the financiers who have made immense money from the privileges and concesâ€" sions in respect to the resources of the ccountry should pay their fair share of the burden of toâ€"day. An editorial in ‘The Northland Post, of Cochrane, last week exprlains its attitude, and is givâ€" en herewith:â€" The Cochrane Post says:â€" "While papers like the Financial Post are bending every energy toward a reduction in wages in the country, and governments are following this lead with cuts in wages affecting nsarâ€" ly every branch of the public service it is heartening to note that the wisâ€" dom of such a course is being serilously questioned by some of th.s energetic and outspcken papers. There is every indiâ€" cation that any move to lower the stanâ€" dard of living in Canada is going to be met with rigorous opposition.. The "high finance crowd,." as our contemâ€" pcorary, The Porcupinge Advance has latelled them, is quite generally held to be respons.ble for the present sta‘e of affairs. Few people will be inclined to @ccept the suggestion of the Finanâ€" clal Post, that present conditions have been brought about by tco much govâ€" ernment in business. In fact it would asear that the bect is on the other foot, and that what we are now sufferâ€" ing from is partly due at least, to too much *"big business" in government, such as Beauharnois, where men have reaped where they did not sow, apparâ€" ently with the full knowledge and conâ€" sent of governments. It was due to the efforts of the leader of the westeorn Farmer Members in the House of Comâ€" mons that the country learned of the Beauharnois machinations, not to either of the two old parties. And it should be borne in mind that what occurred at Beauharnois, was but a repetition of scores and hundreds of other "deals" In view of the apparent inability of the industrial and financial interests to avoid the bog of depression in which the whole world is at present mired. any "cures" for the depression coming from these sources is bound to be locokâ€" ed on with searching scrutiny, if nct actual susp‘cion by the "man on the street." It can be reasonably argued that men who lacked the discernment or ability to avoid a pitfall may not be the best ones to select for devising a way out of it. Hence we find measure adopted by governments which conâ€" of only ecanomy, and that largely Let the Sacrifice be Borne Generally Wealthy Muast be Prepared to Bear Their Share to Offset the Present Conditions in Canada. hrousg ng wi yhich 2M d by governments which conâ€" only economy, and that largely h a cut in salaries, is not mgetâ€" h the widespread commendation no doubt was hoped for.

That th‘s is a point which needs to be ke;,\ in mind is illustrated by the closing paraâ€" graph of an article recently appearing in the Financial Post on the ques‘ion of a Federal tax on electric power, On Friday morning last the roof and chance!l of Holy Trinity proâ€"cathedral at Cochrane were considerably damaged by fire, smoke and water. The origin of the fire is blamed on defective wirâ€" ing, possibly because there is no other apparent cause to lay the blame upon. The blaze had gained considerable headway before the alarm was given and the Cochrane firemen reached the scene. The firemen soon had the fire under contral but not before damage to the extent of around $1500.00 had been done. Church furnishings were saved and the body of the church which says:â€"*"To increase the rate on the present forms of taxation would not rest lightly with the taxpayers, Bu:t if the governments decide to tax the publiclyâ€"owned power sysiems thoey may receive a large income, while at the same time the added charge would be widely distributed and not so noticeâ€" able a burden as would be the case if a direct form of taxation was used." "Practically every tax now being imposed, with the exception of ‘the inâ€" come tax, is passed along to the ultiâ€" mate consumer, which is the general public, and the general public is carryâ€" ing not only its fair share of the burâ€" den, but just wbout all it can handle. It would appéar, therefore, that a conâ€" siderable increase in the income tax, on the higher incomes puriicularly, is not only in order, but is the only fair and equitable method. The objection usuâ€" ally taken to such an impost is that it would result in driving capital out of the country, but the public are justi«â€" fied in asking if patriotism and loyalty is to be confined to a certain class, or if it is to include the capitalists of the country as well." escaped damage COCHRANE PROâ€"CATHEDRAL DAMAGED BY FIRE LAST WEEK 14 9â€"12p $# \\\X\\\S\\\\\S\\\\\\%fi\S‘SS%\\\‘%\“SM\WXW 8888888 * * * 4 * * 5 4 5 6 6 o . o . . . . . . . ib . ib . ib i5 5 i5 5; 5) 5 05 00000000454 ALSOQ CLEANING, PRESSING, REPAIRING PROMPTLY DONE J.
