When taxation is discriminatory and tends to hamper progress and convenience, then it is unâ€" wise as well as unfair. Last year The Advance pointed out that the taxation in regard to signs and coal chutes then proposed came into this category and that in the end it would defeat its own purpose by stifling enterprise. This has been proven to be the case by the fact that during the past week not one, but several firms, have cementâ€" ed in the places where there were formerly gratâ€" ings in the sidewalks for coal chutes, thus escapâ€" ing the unfair tax. That it is unfair is proven by the fact that this form of taxation would have meant an addition of several hundred dollars to the taxation of one firm without any compensatâ€" ing advantage to the taxpayer or the town. It is said that one man plans to replace the grated place in the sidewalk with a door arrangement in the bottom of the wall at the same spot, this latter: of course not being subject to extra taxationâ€"at least, until the council inaugurates a policy of imposing taxes on doors, windows and chimneys. It is not known that any signs have been taken down to escape the new coalâ€"chuteâ€"sign tax, but it is certain that the impost placed on signs will halt the fashion for these decorations. As a matter of fact the cost of some of the signs was such that their removal now would be almost as serious a | burden as the tax itself. The principle of this| coalâ€"chuteâ€"sign byâ€"law is altogether wrong as The Advance has emphasized on a number of occasâ€" ions. If the council find it necessary to impose further taxation, the rate should be raised so that the extra taxation might be fairly imposed. If mayor and believe that they can gather, taxation by the coalâ€"chuteâ€"sign route and deceive the people into the idea that the taxes have not been increased, then they have a lower opinion of the intelligence of the people of Timmins then The Advance holds. The signs are an asset to the town, and if anything should be done about them, it should take the form of encouragement rather than prohibitory legislation. It is true that the town would do well to have a byâ€"law to regulate fPhe position and security of these signs, in the|!, public interest and safety. The same idea holds|| true in regard to coal chutes. This proper end.| however, could be secured by a nominal license| fee. A dollar a year fee would make the license | as effective as eight, ten, thirty or a hundred dolâ€"| j lars. The same fee for such sign or coal chute to al! would answer the purpose and be fair to all.| . Signs and coal chutes are not moneyâ€"makers. The | : n m in in in in on tm It is an odd fact that many of the very people who used to object to the idea of Britannia ruling the waves, or even singing about it, are the very folks who are clamoring toâ€"day for Britain to rush into war to protect ships under the British fmag in the Mediterranean. It is well to have all facts in mind in such a matter. First of all it should be clearly understood that the British navy toâ€"day, as for centuries, has protected all British comâ€" merce on the high seas. Next, it is well to note that the British government has warned all shipâ€" owners in regard to the dangers within the threeâ€" mile limit of Spanish territorial waters. It has emphasized that ships carrying contraband carâ€" goes enter that threeâ€"mile limit zone at their own peril. The fact that it is an unusually profitable venture tempts ships to take the risk. They inâ€" cur the danger knowing the risk, and not forgetâ€" ting the profit. In this regard, it may not be amiss to consider ownership of some of the Britâ€" Ish ships that have been sunk in Spanish waters. It seems to be admitted that all these ships wexc? carrying contraband of war. The London Exâ€" press made an investigation of one ship that wasl sunk and found it was owned by the Stanhopce Steamship Co. The main owner of this firm, it is| said, is John Albert Billmeir. A few years ago John was a minor clerk in a financial office in’ London. Toâ€"day John Albert Billmeir has a fleet! of 23 freighters, and is reported to have made no less than five million pounds in the last three years, practically all of it from what might be termed the illicit but profitable work of carrying contraband to Spain. Billmeir is not an isolated case. His rapid rise to fortune has been built upâ€" on the venturesome traffic with Spain. Surely, it would not be worth a war to give him undue proâ€" tection while at the same time he is being paid a| fortune for taking risks. It is difficult to underâ€"| stand how the same people can urge war to proâ€"| tect the lucrative traffic of the Billmeir type, after| making the welkin ring for so many years crying aloud at the munition makers profiting from war.| The more the average Britisher considers the variâ€" ous angles of the question, the more he is likely to | agree with the patient attitude of Premier Chamâ€" berlain, who is thinking more about the Britishers ‘in general than of the few who make big profits.

LAKE, Owner and Pablisher United Statesâ€"$3. 50 Per Year Mr. McAree would have a translator to transâ€" cribe the fairy tales of old into words of one or two syllables. This might make them more adaptâ€" | ___Mr. McAree suggests that the classic fairy storâ€" ies of Grimm and Anderson are written in a lanâ€" Iguage beyond the understanding of small childâ€" ren. "What small child," he asks, "could underâ€" lstand a phrase like ‘stately dignity‘ or ‘forfeit hi: life‘?" Generations of happy children could anâ€" | swer him, The rolling phrases to the child‘s quick mind explain themselves. The tone of voice, the look, the unconscious gesture of father or mothe: or big sister or jolly old Uncle Bill (reading with the memory of the understanding of their own childâ€" hood when fairy tales thrilled them) give the litâ€" tle cue that may be needed to make all clear. Mr McAree might be surprised at all the youngster:s understand if only given a chance. Indeed, one of the troubles is that they sometimes grasp too much, and this is one reason why a diet of fairy tales does childhood less harm than too many of the alleged comics of the present day. Children know that fairy tales are fairy tales. They reâ€" cognize them for what they are. Therein they are more shrewd than those untrained in fairy lore who have to wait for adult life to hear the fairy stories. Children love to live in a world of makeâ€" believeâ€"pretending it is all real, yet knowing in their little hearts that it all but fairy lore. Adult life does not foresake the makeâ€"believe, but it does often seem to push the truth further back in the mind. ' J. V. McAree, the gentleman who writes the Fourth Column on the editorial page of The Globe and Mail, confesses that he was told no fairy stories when he was a child. Poor lad! Many have perhaps, suspected that he had been handiâ€" capped in some such way. It is to the credit ofi McAree that though he does not like fairy tales himself he is trying to do his duty as a father by reading fairy tales to his own little girl. One oi the troubles of the world toâ€"day is that too many fathers are telling too many fairy stories to theil wives and not enough fairy tales to their little children. A youngster, who has never had the thrill, the heart interest, the stir to the imaginaâ€" tion from the classic fairy stories is a neglecteC and dependent child. That youngster has been defrauded of the joy of childhood. No fairy storâ€" ies in childhood? That is on a par with the pool tot that never saw a circus. It is an incomplete life. A youngster so neglected might in adult life rise to the highest heights â€" _ even to writing 2 column for the papersâ€"but he could never be anyâ€" thing but a sad Napoleon, a frustrated Hitler, : despondent Stalin. Childhood is the time foi fairy tales. Adults can never truly understand. them, unless they have carried a rare combination of innocence and imagination with them through the yearsâ€"a sympathy and understanding of the improbable, the impossible, that can be learnec only in childhood and from fairy tales. The fairy tales that are referred to are those charming stories of elves and witches and gnomes and giantsâ€"and the inevitable triumph of good and the confusion of the badâ€"that lightened the days of so many fortunate children and planted in their lives ideas and ideals that made adult life so much the better. At the outset The Advance would say that the heading of this editorial seems out of place in these columnsâ€"thus forestalling any of the smartâ€" alexs who might have ideas along that line afte: a few days‘ deep thoughtâ€"if any. ! signs brighten and adorn the town. In this reâ€" gard the electric signs are especially valuable. It would be a serious loss to the town if any considâ€" erable number of firms removed them, or if others were debarred from putting them up. Any danâ€" gerous signs or coal chutes should be placed in proper position. Taxation on them makes them ho safer. In any event there are so few to which objection can fairly be taken in the public inter est, that it would not be a very onerous matte: to deal with them all. It is apparent, however ! that the coalâ€"chuteâ€"sign byâ€"law is not designed to protect the public, but rather to raise furthel taxation, and still leave the rate at a figure thai may appear to be defensible by mayor and council The business men of Timmins (with very few exâ€" fceptions) are paying their full share of taxation without any coalâ€"chuteâ€"sign imposition. _ Ir erecting the signs in most cases the merchants conferring a benefit on the town. For this, deserve at least fair treatment. The householde) who may be told that he is escaping some taxation because of the discrimination shown against the business people with coal chutes and signs not be deceived. He should remember that it wil‘ be his turn next. If the council is allowed to ge! away +vith its coalâ€"chuteâ€"sign stuff, the ordinar;. householder will be the next victim. Likely nexi year the mayor will have the happy idea of taxâ€" ing letter slots or garden hose or chimney pots | It is to the real interests of the ordinary taxpayel to see that no discriminatory taxation is imposeC on anyone, because the principle once establishec it will go from one thing to another, and none wil‘ escape. Taxation should be open and aboveâ€". board, so that people would know what taxes they are really paying, and also so that they may no! be deprived of the right to appeal. The plan 0i sending the tax notice for signs and coal chuts in a bill apart from the tax notice left all the vicâ€" tims without any chance to appeal. The whole procedure is a vicious one and the public shoulo understand that fact. PORCUPINE ADVANCE TIMMINE, ONT ARIO On previous occasions The Advance has referred to the good friend who explained that he never read anything in the newspapers but the editiorals. Dr. Manion has been a physician, a surgeon, a soldier, an orator, a statesman, an author. He is now the leader of a great national party. He may be premier of Canada one of these days. Yet even so, he will not be as worldâ€"noted as another doctor whose fame rests on the fact that he was once a good delivery boy. Some oldâ€"timers hope that Dr. Manion‘s Naâ€" tional Remedies may become as much a household word in Canada as once were Dr. Munyon‘s Family Remedies. s After the way Hon. Mr. McQuesten, Minister of Highways for Ontario, has reduced the dust menâ€" ace on the Northern roads, it seems that he is enâ€" titled to a change in the initials of his name. While the silica dust was blowing on the back road he was known as T. B. McQuestion. Now that the silica dust no longer blows so freely, he might well be hailed as O. K. McQuesten. Premier Hepburn this week paid a visit to Moosonee for a fishing trip. It is to be hoped that he will make such a good catch that he will be put in such good humour with the far north country that he will squelch (and he is an expert at the squelching business) all talk of abandoning the pioneering railway line north of Fraserdale. able to the adult mind. But children know. For them, the fairy stories translate themselves as they unfold before bright eyes and keen ears. What is really needed is not translated classics in the twoâ€"andâ€"twoâ€"makesâ€"threeâ€"andâ€"one of a cerâ€" tain or uncertain Toronto newspaper, but underâ€" standing hearts and innocent minds to repeat the fairy tales in the "stately dignity‘" that children understand. ] Iroquois Falls : Abramson, Bindle; Andress, Shirley; Bailey, Marguerite; Barr, Ida; Barr, Myrtle; Beagan, Raymond; Beaucheâ€" min, Paul; Boucher, Aurele; Brianâ€" sky, Rita; Brindle, Hazel; Brown, Alâ€" vin;â€" Charron, Francis; Chatelaine, YÂ¥vette; Cloutier, Rita; Cutten, Laurâ€" ‘mce; Cybolsky, Bert; Dawson, Enid; Dawson, Harry; Dobrovoilsky, Helen; Dochuk, Edward; Dube, Liliane; Elâ€" ‘cko, Gladys; Federenko.

At the least, the Chinese may yet be responsible for comâ€" pletely changing the whole European situation. Germany is awake to the possibilities and has atâ€" tempted to take measures to prevent a Chinese triumph. All the German officers assisting the Chinese military staff in the war with Japan have been withdrawn, so far as Germany could withâ€" araw them. Germany apparently has seen the probability that further prolongation of the war in China may result in the collapse of Japan. Even with the German military experts withdrawn. China may by very force ot numbers and by the gaibnt national spirit being displayed win a triumph over the invader.

This week word comes from Vancouver that Mrs. Jack Dye, wife of an unemployed chauffer, has given birth to twinsâ€"a boy and a girlâ€"and that this birth of twins is the third successive set of twins to be born to this lady.
