Indeed, n subject for discussion toâ€" circle round sooner or la pression, unemployment, pression, unem and employmet EUrpIrIsIng @All CUIvJIiGL 111 _ AAM Northern Tribune last week in referâ€" ence to the longâ€"advocated plan of bonusing landâ€"clearing should touch on the depression, direct relief, employâ€" ment and other matters. As a matâ€" ter of fact it would have been totally inadequate had it not done so. In disâ€" cussing the "backâ€"toâ€"theâ€"land" plan of thke D:minion Government The Northâ€" ern Tribune is not as enthusastic as some other newspapers and public men are on this matter. The Advance adâ€" mits being prejudiced in favour of the backâ€"toâ€"theâ€"land p:in becauws» it is getâ€" ting away from the curse ¢f direct reâ€" lief and helping people to help themâ€" selves. In cne way of looking at it, the plan provides all that embrace it with employment whereby they will be able to care for themselves. To this extent it is the proper method of reâ€" lief and will be of benefit to the country as well as to the people affected. The editorial in The North:rn Triâ€" bune hits the nail on the head squareâ€" ly when it suggests that the "backâ€"toâ€" theâ€"land" movement proves the beneâ€" fit of the progused landâ€"clearing bonus for farmers or settlers in this North: Land. This bonus on landâ€"clearing. has been advocated for years by The Advance, as well as by The Northern Tribune and The Cochrane Northland | Post. The experience of the province of Quebec with this bonus plan proves the efficiency of the measure. Recentâ€" ly The Cochrane Northland Post sugâ€" gested that a land bonus plan be adoptâ€" ed this year instead of any scheme of direct relief for the settlers this winter. It is certain that a large numbsr of settlers in this North Land this comâ€" ing winter will have to have relief of some sort or else be allowed to starve to death. The curtailment of and the practical cessation of any acâ€" tivity in the sale of pulpwsod has left a number in such position that without some form of relief they will be faced this winter by danger of actual starvaâ€" tion. Already it has been necessary to extend direct relief to some of them. More relief will be needed without doubt. Could not some plan be evolved whereby the relief could take the form of a bonus on landâ€"clearing similar to that in force in Qusbec,. With such a plan in force the prospects would seem much more promising for the advantâ€" age of the country than any direct reâ€" lief scheme. The bonus for this year, for example, could be based partly on tand already cleared, and partly on land As to the success of the "backâ€"toâ€" theâ€"land" scheme there is surely no cause for contemp¢ating certain fallure. It may be expected that there will be a proportion of failures, but there is also reason for believinz that the majority will succeed. As a matter of fact thousands of families have been reâ€" turned to the land on the plan inauâ€" gurated by Hon. Mr. Gordon and deâ€" spite the mast inauspicious times that farmers have endured recently the plan has tz succeed in large measâ€" ure. If any success at all can be shown in these untoward days, surely with more normal times the "backâ€"toâ€" theâ€"land" scheme may be lsoked upon as likely to succeed in great measure. The editnrial in The Triâ€" to be cleared during the winter,. would mean that the settlers wo! earning the money given them, al country would be getting someth return through the betterment frco land cleared. The above are thoughts sugg the reading of the editorial Northern Tribune. This shc the editorial in question is : provoker. All may not agree it says but the fact that it spurs certainly makes it well wort Accordingly The Advance re it in full because i The above are thoughts sugges.ea Dy the reading of the editorial in ‘The Northern Tribune. This shows that the editorial in question is a thoughtâ€" provoker. All may not agree with all it says but the fact that it spurs thought certainly makes it well worth while. Accordingly The Advance reproduces it herewith in full, because it contriâ€" butes much to the discussion of a group of allied questions that go back to the depression and the unemployment that caused the depression. The Norâ€" thern Tribune says:â€" "in questionnaire rather irreguidaiâ€" iy taken recently, local branches of the Northern Ontario Settlers‘ Associaâ€" tion declared their preference for a land clearing bonus scheme over any of direct relief. Such a decision was the most natural thing in the world, and need surprise no one. The direct reâ€" lief measures have been tardily adopted only after the greatest show of reâ€" luctance by the government; they are sketchy, patchwork in nature, decidedly ephemeral, solve nothing, and impase increasing humiliations upon the reâ€" cipients. It must be evident to everyâ€" body that they are being adopted only because of extreme pressure upon the authorities, who even now pass on to the municipalities the highest percentâ€" age of relief costs that they can be badgered into carrying.
