governments step in the financial post in new york city a fund of 1s000000 is being raised for unemployment relief in canada unemployment relief is being car ried out largely with government funds all over the united states local private organizations are raising unemployment relief funds and the total to be raised through out the whole of the country will be very large and will probably amount to as much per capita as our governments in canada are expending on unemployment relief the american method of hand ling this problem is a better one than our own it is a very danger ous plan to introduce as we have done in canada the idea that the government owes every man a liv ing our plan is extravagant un wieldy and unsound moat of the people who are now drawing payments of one kind or another undor our unemployment relief plan are people who have en joyed good incomes in the past but who through inability to budget their incomes or through misfor tune have hot exercised the quality of thrift that is the only certain assurance against need and priva tion people who have saved their money are now being taxed to maintain those who have not obvi ously those who have are willing in time of crisis to share with those who have not but their contribu tions should he voluntary and should he expected of them only when there is absolute necessity for them one trouble with govern mental schemes of relief is that they have a tendency to become more or less permanent and develop abuses not forseen originally what start ed out as a perfectly good unem ployment insurance scheme in the old country developed into a public bonusing of idleness governmental relief schemes have another serious weakness in that they pile up public expenditures at a time when public revenue drops to a low ebb they create budget deficits which in turn create un stable monetary conditions and high taxation these two conditions lead inevitably to a prolonging of the period of crisis a vicious spiral is initiated and in the end the degree of privation actually created by the scheme amounts to more than the degree of privation ameliorated by it it is to ho hoped that qanqdas present experience with govern mental financing of unemployment relief will teach us a lesson that will be a warning to us in the future the store of splendid service buy your new coat now our coats are excellent value in

not measured up to ex pectations the weather man could never have been blamed for the disappointment for last sunday was as fine and warm as any day in the late spring season both morning and evening large crowds attended these public services and heard the dis courses delivered by dr ce holling ba bd of lindsay because of his prominence as a divine and be cause ho is fairly well known here to many people as a speaker of more than usual ability great things were expected and none went away disa ppointed his discourse on the church of jesus christ on earth at the morning service was a thought provoking address wlneri called forth the best and highest tat is in man that wo might hasten tho day when such ideas as are foretold in rev 2122 should be paramount the evening attendance was greater than at the morning service the preacher of the day here introduced a modern innovation when he sang a couple of stanzas of one of tho selections in the now hymnary the choir and congregation assist ing in tho remaining stanzas the selection having been composed by the speaker of tho day dr holling addressed the business mens class in the after noon on a timely subject civiliz ations

appreciated as was the quartette selections miss nnc lehman ofllciated at the organ the collections for the day nearly reached the objective of 400 it is confidently felt in high finan cial circles that all the elements re quired for success attend the current notation of a loan for 150000- 000 by the dominion of canada through the department of finance that all the money required by the government to carry on the affairs of the country without resort to outside markets will be provided by investors is not questioned as a sound investment in five and ten years 5 per cent bonds at attrac tive prices is one which investors will be glad to obtain it is felt that it is only necessary to lay the facts before the country and that the rest will be attended to local per sons with money to invest should not overlook the high yield for a bond this nature confidence is returning through out the country after passing through a trying period of two years during which prices of hqth commodities and securities sank to abnormally low levels there is sereue conviction that the decline has run its course and that the tide already started will be running strongly in the other

the york county assessors association foremost amongst the suggestions is the resolution that in municipalities other than cities the court of revision shall consist of three members appointed by the municipal council no member of the council and no officer or employee of the corpora tion shall bo a member of the court of revision this the members felt would establish a court of revision more in keeping with that now in use in cities with a population under 200000 would relieve the council of a certain amount of unpleasant duties and the suggested board would prove more satisfactory to all concerned different assessors stated flat income rate the assessors urged tho county council to support tho proposal which comes to tho legislature from the ontario municipal associa tion to establish a flat rate of 35 mills on all income tax assessments with a recommendation that the general rate and not tho school rate be the first charge on that money in the townships towns will if the bill passes be settled with the schools getting first charge in respect to the 35 mills discussion among tho assessors showed that applying tho provision for the schools to got tho major share of 35 mills would work an unfairness in the case of townships the more wealthy districts schools would get the benefit and the schools in tho workingmens dis tricts get nothing perhaps the most important itom

in the field again for tho reeveship and may get opposition from deputy reeve g wesley williams as he expressed himself to the tribune tho deputy reeve said it was a littlo tar away for one to commit them selves other than to say that if there is an election forced from somo quarter he would naturally seek the reeveship reeve kidd has been returned three times as chief magistrate by acclamation and the deputy reeve has been tendered similar honors if there is a scrap for the chief office in all probability the remain ing three members of the council will seek the vacant chair of deputy reeve
