I‘LL soon STOP THAT Employment Needed Not Direct Relief Ever since the governments have adâ€" mitted that there was a depwession and serious unemployment and that they should do something about it, The Adâ€" vance has been earnestly advocating that nothing be attempted except in the way of providing employment. If emâ€" ployment is available Canadians wili not ask for any relief. They will look after themselves. Given employment, they will adjust conditions and the deâ€" pression will soon be a thing of the past. Last year the plarn as a measure of relief was tried and despite all the kmistakes admittedly made in its administration, it still reâ€" mains as fact that the employment plan worked well and certainly gave better results that have yet been achieved by any measure of direct reâ€" lief. It does appear to be a fact that some of the public works undertaken to create employment were conducted under the direction of contractors or middlemen and so were perhaps more costly than expected or than they should have been, but that was simply a matter for adjustment and carefulâ€" ness in the future. In any event it seems evident that direct relief, if it is to accomplish anything at all will prove even more costly than providing employment. Direct relief will pauperâ€" ize the prople of Canada and leave them poor indeed in mind, body and estate. Under an employment plan they will retain their independence and pride and when the depression is over they will be better men and women for the care and thought forced from them by circumstances. Direct Relief Neither Practical nor Deâ€" in Canada. Eventual Cost of Help by Employment will be Less, To The Advance the situation seems quite plain. Employment will cure the depression. There are enough public works needed in Canada â€" urgently needed for the development and proâ€" gress of the countryâ€"to provide. work for all. With work provided all will Flyâ€"Tox is made in Canad touches, but harmless to humans, stainless to anything. Costs only 2 cents per room.

LIFEBuOY, PLEASE 6 WEEKS LAT ER | way, shape or form a few months ago. | Figures are quoted which tend to show | that it cost anything from seven to ten | dollars to provide each day‘s labour | under the scheme of relief work. If correct, these figures display either a | lamentable incompetency, or a clear cut case of graft. Of course, in compiling such figures, it is more than likely that no consideration was given to the fact that materials and tools used in relief work also represent labour, and the same applies to the matter of food. But even after making due allowance cents. The Advance has been emphaâ€" sizing these points regularly, and espeâ€" cially since the governments have apâ€" peared to centre upon the idea of diâ€" rect relief. It is pleasing to note that a number of other newspapers are also urging the superior value of employâ€" ment as a relief measure, rather than direct relief or the dole. The North Bay Nugget has written ably along this line. So has The Sudbury Star. Other newspaprers noted have adopted a simiâ€" lar attitude. These newspapers are in close touch with public opinion and [ they know that the whole feeling of Canadians is against direct relief or the dole. In a recent issue The Cochâ€" rane Northland Post in an editorial article summarizes the whole matter in effective way. The article is so helpful and illuminating that The Advance publishes it herewith in full. Not only that but all readers of The Post are | urged to read the editorial from that | paper and study its logic and phatriotic reasonableness. The Cochrane Northâ€" land Post says:â€" "It is clearly evident that the various ‘govemment bodies in this country are more and more toward the dole as a means of relief in place of proâ€" viding employment. Much is being said and written concerning the high cost of relief work in an effort to justify if possible the reversal of a policy which | was expressly against the dole in any look after themselves Again}gt this idea, the only unug that can be argued is the matter of cost. "Where is the money to come from?" these people ask. The answer is twoâ€"fold. Pirst, with the millions raised to keep the railways running, with the cash availâ€" able to uphold financial concerns on cccasion, with the millions upn milâ€" lions that the provinces and the Doâ€" minion are contemplating spending on the St. Lawrence Waterway, money is not a very serious consideration to govâ€" ernments after all. The various loans offered the public by the Dominion and provinces in recent months have been all oversubscribed, showing that the public are really anxious to supply the money. Secondly, it should: never be forgotten that direct relief is going to cost a staggering amount.

"Whatever features the problem may present in other provinces, there is no excuse for having to resort to the dole in Ontario. There are more than enough public works which can be profitably undertaken at this time to provide work for all of Ontario‘s unemâ€" ployed. In the matter of roads alone, employment could be provided for many thousands of men. These men will have to be taken care of in any case, and many have dependents, so why not give them an opportunity to earn their livelihood? Even though direct relief, which is a pussyâ€"footing term for the dole, may be slightly cheaper an outlay, in the end it is more expenâ€" sive. It is evident that many thousâ€" ands will have to be provided for durâ€" ing the next few months. If they are taken care of by direct relief, the pubâ€" lic treasury will be out the amount of money necessary to care for them in this manner, and there will be abâ€" solutely nothing whatever to show for it. On the other hand, if relief work is proceeded with, though it may cost slightly more in the first place, it will not be a dead loss. "The argument against providing reâ€" lief work most frequently heard is the matter of cost. It is said that there is not sufficient money in the public treasâ€" sury to provide relief work, that the country cannot afford. But there is every reason for believeing that the country cannot afford not to carry on relief work, rather than resort to diâ€" rect relief. The Porcupine Advance sums the matter up very nicely when it says: "Under direct relief nothing whatever is accomplished for good or progress, except that the hungry man is kept from starvation. He is no betâ€" ter off after all the cost of direct reâ€" lief, except that he still exists, and it is the sort of existence for which the average Canadian will give no thanks." The Advance also claims that "Every man at work makes work for others. Every man on direct relief drags down his fellows," which statements cannot very well be refuted. Roosevelt, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Presiâ€" dent, according to the Toronto Star, "points out that when relief takes the form Oof unnecessary or ephemera: works, and when money is borrowed to pay for the same, this money, or any rate the interest on it, must be repaid that ack vious arrangements promised. The special train idea has been dropped, because of the distance to be walked from Cochrane station. Buses were mentioned at $2.00 a head. This idea did not seem to allow for an enjoyable trip' and so as a final appeal the loan of cars seems to be the most favourable. The cost of gasoline and oil will be borne by the Timmins branch who in turn will collect from those taking the trip. This means the more who attend the less it will cost. The following branches have signified their intention to attend:â€"Iroquois Falls, Kapuskasâ€" ing, Cochrane and Timmins. Refreshâ€" ment booths will be on the grounds. Races and other events will be on the and the car owners recompensed their kindness in giving the use their cars for the day. In this wa is hoped to have a larger attenda and a more enjoyable time, than ; vious arrangements promised. by future generations although they inherit n> benefit from its expendiâ€" ture." This appears to be a logical and sound of reasoning. Roosevelt would plant trees as a form of unemâ€" ployment relief work, but Ontario could profitably construct roads. To the claim that there is no money for road construction, there is the answer that, if the country was faced with a war there would be plenty of money to carry it on, yet the problem presented by the large number of unsmployed is just about as dangerous a situation as a state of war. The whole socia)l fabric is threatened, and unles measures are adopted to relieve the unemployment, the most serious consequences are liable to result. The suggestion was made many months ago that a "pleceâ€"time army of the unemployed" be formed, to be put to work, building roads ance other public works. The idea is sound and has much to recommend it. If men are willing to come to the defence of their country in time of war, and serve for the army pay "a dollar ten a day," surely they would be willing to serve their country in time of peace for the same pay. By raising such an army and setting it to work at roat construction, not only would the unâ€" employment situation be immeasurably relieved, but much needed roads would be built at a minimum expense. There would be no difficulty in finding roads that need to be built. In addition to the transâ€"Canada highway, there is the connecting road between Norembega and LaReine; the road from Timmins to Sudbury, and many others. the officers asking for arranged f is that all "The with which the recent Province of Ontario loan was subscribâ€" ed shows that money could easily be obtained by the province for road conâ€" struction. It is also inevitable that the province will have to borrow money any way to care for the unemployed, so why not use it to build roads. Fuâ€" ture generations will have to pay for relief expenditures being made now, so why not leave something tangible and concrete to show for the expenditure. Commenting on the recent "mild reâ€" volt" of unemployed at North Bay, the Nugget says: ‘"‘The men simply canâ€" not buy heavy clothing for winter on five dollars a month, in fact it imnust keep them busy buying much of anyâ€" thing on that much after they take care of incidental exrenses. That was the point raised by the men at the North Bay district jail. They wanted clothing and tobacco, and it looks as if it will come to what was suggested in the first place for the highway work, a sort of peacetime army proposition with the men fed and clothed and givâ€" en small cash_allowance for other perâ€" sonal needs. It is not a auestion of wages, but a question of living and if the men give service it is but reasonâ€" able to provide them with some adeâ€" quate allowance or arrangement for livâ€" ing. It is better than relief without asking the men to make any return. That is a vicious business and should be avoided as far as possible."" The fact that road work is in the nature of national service piaces it in somewhat of a different category to other types of labour, and while the peacetime army idea would undoubtedly have a demorâ€" alizing influence if applied to any and all forms of labour, if restricted to purely national service labour such as road building, no great harm would result. At least it would be infinitely better than direct relief, with its terâ€" ribly demoralizing effect upon those who receive. it, and the country as whole." tTaking in the trip )wners recompensed for in giving the use of In this way it er aittendance wante l0Oo0ks a any â€" take the Zenith Radio, costig $97.00; a comâ€" plete rigâ€"out for man nor woman, (from hat to shoes,) valued at $60.00; a Gruen wrist watch; 2 tons of coal; 5 cords of wood: and two prizes of shopâ€"whereâ€" youâ€"like."

The story is used to show what misunderstanding and nuisance is caused by the sales tax sometimes. The story told is to the effect that a lady asked the Peterborsugh Lumkber Co., Peterborough Ont., for prices on shingles. She was quoted $4.00 per M., tax included. This "tax included," of course, referred to the sales tax which is sometimes added to the price quoted, and at other times is absorbed by the firm. In this case the $4.00 per M included the tax. The lady was apâ€" parently satisfied with the price quasted for the shingles and ordered a quantiâ€" ty, paying for them on ‘delivery. A few days afterwards she called up the lumber firm to call them down. "When you quoted prices to be you say the tacks were included, and I cannot find a single tack anywhere in the buncdes that came from you," the lady said She was of the opinion that it was only reasonable to expect tacks â€" with shingles, or Otherwise how could the shingles be fastened on, and if the shingles are not fastened on, what SALES TAX IS A NUISANCE IX MOKRE WAYs THAX andad at otne1 firm.
