Of Interest to Nonâ€"Members Remarks similar to the foilowing ones are often being heard from reâ€" turned soldiers who are not members of the Canadian Legion:â€""What‘s the good of the Legion anyway?" ‘"What good would it do if I joined?" and "What benefit do I get?" In anwering the first question:â€""What‘s the good of the Legion?" it can be truthfully stated that the Canadian Legion since its formation by the late Earl Haig in 18925 has a record of outstanding acâ€" complishments in connection with the problems concerning the returned solâ€" dier. It did not, as it could have done, had it so desired, make its beneficial influence felt for its members only, but it took in all returned men as a whole. The Canadian Legion‘s first accomâ€" plishment was the formation of its Service Burceau. Men who thought they had a possible chance for pension, widows who were without allowance, and men who did not think they were receiving what they should clamoured at its doors. They wereâ€"all treated alike, their cases investigated and all possible done to secure justice, as the case may be. In this they have been of much benefit and the number of claims that have been adjusted number in the thousands. Then came another point to be considered. In 1921 and 1922 the government ordered nearly all pensioners up to 20 p.c. disability for medical board. They were then told that as their disability was not of a serious nature, they could commute it for a given sum. In some cases men were told their pension was to be cut anyway. Thousands cashed in, not looking to the future when their disaâ€" bilities would hinder them from usual occupations. The lump sums they had received soon went and the time came when several were down and out again. Sir Arthur Currie in 1929 saw visions of what might happen and in a speech at Regina outlined the Legion‘s work in this respect. The Dominion Command passed strongly worded resoâ€" lutions to the effect that these pensions be reâ€"instated, where the disability was still existent. Another clausse which gave added benefit was the right of a returned soldier to appeal the decision of the board. The Legion secured the desired legislation and now men who were cut off or commuted their penâ€" sion can regain same, the government of course, retaining the amount paid to the pensioner, as his lump sum, but paying back pension from time of comâ€" Thursday, Ja". 28th, 193 MATINEE DAILY AT 2.30 P.M.

Many other similar activiâ€" ties can be credited to the Canadian Legion, for the betterment of conditions among exâ€"servicemen, and only illusâ€" trate the good work the Canadian Leâ€" gion is doing. The next question, "What good would it do if I joined the Leâ€" gion?" It would help very materially. Your addition to the ranks would help strengthen our numbers and with a united front, the various activities would bear more weight. In local branches, such as the Timmins Branch of the Canadian Legion, matters perâ€" taining to employment, etc., could be made stronger with a united front, than a divided one. Employers of laâ€" bour can say at present "You do not represent fully the exâ€"servicemen of this district, hence your porposals canâ€" not be considered.‘" But go to them with a full membership behind you, and the answer would be slightly difâ€" ferent. Your membership in the Canaâ€" dian Legion is earnestly desired. Whq not consider and join up now? In answer to the final question. "What benefit do I get?" it can be said that the benefit is all yours. You receive the thrill that you are helping some comrade. You retain the spirit of comradeship you enjoyed overseas. You also assist in the social element which prevails at all of our meetings. Individual benefits there are none. We are not a benevolent association, but if misfortunte ovrtakes you the Legion will give you the hand which will asâ€" sist you over the rocky road.

The speedy work of Roy, the former Timmins lad, however, saved the day. His many friends here will be pleased to see how he continues to make good. One of the in referring to the boxing card, put on by the Lake Worth American Legion sugâ€" gests that the bout in which Roy Hamâ€" ilton took part was vastly superior to any other number on the programme.

Both boys put up aA real fight but Hamilton knew great deal more than the Tampa lad and punished him severely with a stinging oneâ€"two, and clever inâ€"fighting." The Post, published in the same city is even more enthusiastic over Roy‘s good work. The Times says:â€""Roy Hamilton, 127, Detroit, won over Young Figueredo, 128, Key West, in an eightâ€" round preliminary that saved the day for interest. It was a whaling good bout, chock full of gloves and ripâ€" snorting boxing, in which the two boys belaboured each other tremendously to the body, with Hamilton jarring Fguer? edo now and then to the head.

Acâ€" cording to the charges made against him the exâ€"tax collector of Cochrane is alleged to have a shortage in his accounts in regard to taxes collected. He is charged with the theft of $3,â€" 645.00, but this amount may finally be increased or decreased, as the case may be. ‘"I find there is more to the case than we thought, and we are unable to go on until we have all details," is what Crown Attorney Caldbick is creâ€" dited with saying.

In answer to this resolution The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasing la«t week had the following editorial article:â€" "In a long resolution printed and circulated by the Cochrane board of trade dealing with the present Canâ€" adian railway situation, the final piuraâ€" graph recommends joint use of the transcontinental line of the CN.R. from Winnipeg to Quebec City for the moveâ€" ment of western grain to Canadian ports on the Atlantic. Such an idea should not even have countenance. The people of Canada paid out over three hundred million dollars to build this one railway line, and duse to the aposâ€" tasy of our politicians since its compleâ€" tion it has not filled its intended purâ€" pose, with the consequence that anâ€" nual interest charges had to be paid out of the federal exchequer. _ Now, when the time has finally arrived that public attention is focussed upon such an absurd situation and there is good promise that it would be remedied so that part of the cost of the road would be restored to its owners and revenues more than mset operating expenses, this proposal is put forward that the line shall also be used to earn dividends for the privatelyâ€"owned rival and reâ€" duce the earnings of the publiclyâ€"ownâ€" ed system! To give such a proposal the label of a gesture of fair play is surely begging the questien.

Public .ownershin of public utilities has been evolved in many parts of the world as a more or less partial relief from the exactions of large priâ€" vate corporations operating for proâ€" fit. Thess corporations first derive their franchises from the public auâ€" thority, and more often than not they are substantially subsidized when their undertakings are launched. Also, if they get themselves in a Jam, the pubâ€" lic is called upon to help them out of it (witness the Canadian Northern). But in only a small proportion of inâ€" stances where government ownership is called into being to oprrate a public utility is there a survival of private compstition. When the people decide that the time is ripe for them to own and manage a public service, they buy or legislate competition out of the way first, so that their investment has clear sailing. of paying traffic with its rivals that it could hold for itself? Interchange of freight traffic is one thing; out and out running rights on even terms is an iron horse of ancther colour.

The former is the usual, indispensible sort of interâ€" change of freight on cond‘tions and rates laid down by the Dominion Railâ€" way Commission. The public interâ€" est dictates that this mutual exchange Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"A daily miracle is provided in the fact that a boy riding a bicycle is not killed in the streets of Toronto every 24 hours.

Supposing it is calculated and admitted that from that point eastward the CN.R. has a decided adâ€" vantage in freight haul costs per ton mile, why shouldn‘t it benefit accordâ€" ingly? As we said before, it has cost the people of Canada over $300.000,000 to put it in that preferred position, alâ€" so a great deal of interest added since. To claim that it should forfeit this adâ€" vantage is much like arguing that no rovernment owned public utility must, be constructed better than a privatelyâ€" owned rivalâ€"it wouldn‘t be ‘"fair"!
