Editor BEWARK MORE TAXATION When a manufacturing concern, or private business of any kind, finds itself in a position where it is not paying expenses, and is drifting to- wards bankruptcy, the management casts about for ways and means of reducing expenses and balance the outlay. Most people would consider this the only wise thing to do. How- ever, we have known cases where a father set a son up in business. The son proved a spendthrift and there were continual demands upon the father to supply more funds, until the parent found it impossible to supply more, even to save the son from bank- ruptcy. Then came the crash. Of the two situations mentioned above, which erhibits the greater wisdom? For the past thirteen years ou> governments, Dominion and Provin rial, have been playing the part of the young man who profited by the ben cvolence of a loving parent and who blindly squandered the parental funds, without taking heed for the morrow Time and tirr." again have they un- locked the public chest and rifled it of its contents, then demanded that the public refill the chest through some new means of taxation. How long will it be before thc end arrives? And whon it docs arrive, what will happen? Why should our govern- ing Ixxlii-s not take stock of their re sources and cease squandering the principal which has thus far been placed under their supervision, and "cut their garment to fit the cloth" in other words, dispense with some ol the recently formed departments, re- duce thc ridiculous fifty and seventy five thousand dollar salaries, and ii. many oth<-r ways which the varioui Kovernments can discover if they an serious in their endeavors to remedy the financial situation? The peoplt hear that certain small salaries hav t been reduced about ten per cent., but they would like to sec a real reduction in salaries of the highly paid officials, wh-i hvo s much right to seriously! feel the pinch a* their subordinates j only receives a salary of one 01 ! two thousand dollars ^.ycar. Let! our government get "down to brass' lacks" before the young men now . Roads Blocked Tuesday Last week we enjoyed regular spring-like weather and by Saturday most of the snow had disappeared. Many farmers tapped the maple trees and some syrup was made, but thes^ operations received a rude set back on Sunday when high winds blew and snow descended. All day Monday a regular blizzard blew and piled the snow in huge drifts on thc streets and en the roads, making motor travel very difficult. Quite a number of cars became stranded in the heavy drifts, but with the aid of a shovel and strong arm work were liberated and the road kept open. Mr. Waltei Akitt, the syrup king of Grey County, had intended to commence tapping, but the storm delayed operations for the time being. Tuesday the roads were blockeo and tho mails from Kimberley ana Foversham failed to make an appear- ance, owing to tho heavy roads, but in the afternoon the roads were open- od for traffic. S. S.

No matter how bad you aim, when you throw bouquets at a man they always hit the right spot. It costs more money now to be- come a Bachelor of Arts at Toronto, but most any married man can qualify right at home this year in the finan- cial course. Even with fewer trains there are level crossing accidents. Time is a cat which scratches at .t;he corners of a man's mouth and eyes. If he smiles at the cat, the scars turn up at the end. If he scowls at it, the corner of the scars turn down, says the Kiwanis Magazine. Small Advts. Lost or Strayed FOUND In Flesherton Monday. Feb. 29th, good tire chain. Geo. Mc- Master, Flesherton.
