Wednesday. May 14, 1924 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE THE Flesherton Advance W. H, THURSTON, Editor TAXES AND ECONOMY The Toronto Globe has discovered that the reason why taxes are high is because of improvident manage- ment in conducting the business aflfairs of the country at Ottawa, and ahvocates a big house cleaning. It Bays that because the system was in- herited is no reason why it should be continued. The contention is part- ially correct, but not altogether. There are many other factors em- braced in the cause of high taxes. The necessity of paying our big war debt is the outstanding cause, the cap sheaf on the superstructure of high wages, and an effort to maintain the high standard of living prior to the war. We expect to pay for the war and still maintain all the luxur- ies enjoyed before the war. We pay enormous salaries to public men, maintain costly departments that might easily be made less costly, appoint commissions to find out things and then fail to profit by them. Graft, brigandage and incompetence is found in public places. Yet we wonder why taxes are so high! The cost of the necessaries of life to-day is 51 per cent, greater than in pre-war days, but taratiori itself is re- sponsible for that People cannot pay these taxes without getting the wherewithal! to do it;overhea(l charg- es must be increased, the additional cost of labor must be considered, in fact the whole affair is an endless cycle. Probably the burden could be relieved by more economy in public and private life, but the burden will never be fully lifted until the war debt is paid. PepaU â€" were arrested Monday on a charge of unlawfully conspiring with Peter Smith, A. H. Pepall and others unknown, to defraud the Province of Ontario in the sale of government bonds. Jarvis and Pepall were allow- ed out on ^0,000 bail and Jarvis Jr. on $26,000. This looks as though it might be an interesting case before it is finished. It is to be hoped that the parties "unknown" will also be discovered. The matter should be probed to the hilt no matter whose hides are nailed to the door. Let it be a thorough Investigation and no politics played. EGG CIRCLE ORGANIZED Last week the farmers in the vicin- ity of Elmwood organized for the purposes of selling their eggs co-oper- atively. This centre will serve the adjoining districts of Bruce and Grey county. The completion of organization was made by Mr. T. A. Benson, poultry promoter. Department of Agrriculture, Ottawa. The farmers agreed to sign the contract so that success is assur- ed before the circle has started. It is hoped that before the summer is over all *he Circle members will have their flocks culled. This work will be looked after by both the Grey and Bruce Departments of Agricul- ture. Other districts in Grey county could well study the Egg Circle proposition with profit The farmers in Oxford county are quite well statisfied with co-operative selling of their poultry products.

Our public pockets have been picked here at home, and now it looks as though they had also been rifled by the "hands across the sea."
