BErrEU YEAR INDICATED SAY^ POL'LTKY AUTHORITY Hydro is very much in the public eye this sprinc- Whether anything good will come of the jjublieity may be cjuc.ttionable, but there are .signs that the discussions will bear fruit more or less acceptable. For in stance we have been informed that the chief cnKinecr gets $21>,720, and seventeen officials are credited with $iyi,733. The Ottawa Letter Government commissions and Ijoards came in for a great deal of criticism last week. The Tariff Boai-d has not yet begun work, yet a liill was inlroiiueeJ raising the salary 1 U. tVjoke, ehairmun,; of the chairman. Judge Get rjfc- Sed^'c- got $13,781. t'2. The vice chairman and Hon. Arthur Meighen each draw $«,2S0.08 this year. The hydro costs arc heavy to the consumer these days, but its high-up employec-s do not appear to be in a languishing position, notwithstanding the depres- sion that others are suffering. By the way, hydro refused to sup- ply a St. Catherines firm at the set price it had agreed upon and took the case to the Privy Council. In the decision last week hydro lost out. Hydro has its own highly paid solici- tor, but even he, it appears, figured- wrong as to the possibility of his 'W|300|000,00a corpioraition" riding rough -shod over the little fellow. We have before heard of something called only "a scrap of paper." EDITORIAL ITEMS wick, from $12,000 to $15,000 a year. The Hon. Ernest LapainVa led the attack again.-l the bill, charging that it was an unsound practice to select membci's of the judiciary for Civil Service appointments and pay them a higher salary than that enjoyed by members of the Supreme Court. The Prime .Minister defended the increa-se in salary on the ground that Judge Scdgew'ick, before his appoint- ment to the Tariff Board, was re- ceiving a salary of $10,000 with op- portunity for promotion and a retir- ing allowance three-(iuartei-s of his salary. Mr. Bennett stated it was not desired to penalize him financiaHy for accepting the position of chair- man of the Tariff Board. Magistrate Spereman, at court on Friday, thought there was too much running to magistrates for the col- lection of debts. When there is a disagre^cT.t between parties the CB'se should be taken to Division Court, in place of the Criminal court. • • • There are plenty of high school teachers either looking for situations or deViring changes this year, as wit- ness the 300 api-Rications for posi- tions in the Thornbury Continuation school. It a!>pears as though teach- ing profession will be glutted with teachers again this year. • « » The one Scottish female preacher, lUv. Vera Findlay, M. A., B. D., as a good many people expected, solved the opposition to her selection by marrying a member and offic.er of her congregation and promptly re- signin.g her pastorate. .\s the con- gregation declined to release her, the fair pulpiteer will remain. The Chronicle tells us that the Rev. Vera has certainly an attractive person- ality: She is an earnest Chri.stian and - orator of the first rank and pretty. • • « Colonel John Buchan, M.P., His Majesty's Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the church of .Scotland, is an ideal representative. Though not taking part in debates or knotty controversies he has the experience and tact necessary to rep- resent His Majesty during the sed- erunt of the great churfh Court and in di-.^pcnsing hospitality at Ilolyrood Palace he will be at his best. Colonel Buchanan is the third Commoner to npresont the King in this capacity, his predecessors being Mr. James Browm, M.P., the genial miners' lead- er, and Sir Ian Colquhoun, the Scot- tish chief. Colonel Buchan has had an extraordinarily varied career, bein;? equally well known as a novel- ist playwrijcht, historian, soldier and politician. • * * The ptoplu of Great Britain wore Blower in taking advantage of tele- phone facilities than we in the home of the 'phone; but in recent years the instrumcTit has been in great favors. Last year the British post- tnasler-gencral reports, over 4,000 new stations were opened, and the service handled over 1,600,000,000 calls, or nearly .1,0(^0 a month night and day. The British system calls for payment according to number of calls, and a leading official of the post office, under which department, telephones are operated, suggests that if each subscriber made on? more call a day the revenue would bo in- creased by over three million dollars a y«ar. Inventions come and arc tried out, but there arc no greater time savers to be had for the money than the phone. So let's not be too hard on the operator when occasion- ally wc get the wrong number. • • • Now that the long days are here and there are so many temptations to postpone bed-time, heads of families are apt to forget that growing boy.i and girls need many ho^lr.^ of sleep Thor« arc about two hundred bonrs in the body, all growing in length and thickness, as hard as they can, nnd that puts a strain on tl.o onsii tution. Moreover, in childhood, «s The Radio Cominij.sion was bitterly criticised in the House of Commons for a whole day. The occasion of the dc-t>ate was a bill introduced by the Government widening the powers of the Commission. It proposed to give the Commission power to appoint its staffs, fix their salaries, buy sta- tions without the consent of Parlia- ment, but with the consent of the Government, and to spend the money appropriated by Parliament and whatever accrues from its business. Last year when the' Commission was set up to take over radio as a public enterprise the House was practically unanimous in .support of the idea. The legislation went through without a vote. There seemed at that time a general under- standing thai the Commission wouki be impartial ami non-political in character, but these hopes were dash- ed to the ground when the apjioint- ments were made. The cliairman Mr. Hector Charlesworth, was an out- standing Conservative editorial writ- «â- ; one of the Commissioners, Mr. Mahcr of Quebec, was Conse.vativc organizer in the Province of Quebec; the other Commissioner, Mr. Steele '.vns a technician unknown to the Canadian public. There is undoubtedly need of na- tional programs in this large and very sparsely settled country. It is one way of unifying the Canadian peoi)Ie. (ireat Britain has made such a suc- cess of public owner, liip of radio, wc ought I think, to peiTist in our en- deavor land seek to eliminate the difficulties, rather than allow our- selves to be turned against the idea. At the moment, however, Canadian people are very critical nf commis- sions and boards of various sorts; they are too well jiaid in comparison A bill of interest to all people who have money borrowed â€" and that, I guess, is most of us â€" was the one introduced by Mr. Coote asking for an amendment to the Intei-est Act by which the maximum rate of interest would be set at five per cent. In his closing address on it Mr. Coote said he would be willing to have the bill go to the Committee and the maximum rate decided by the Com- mittee. Both the bill and his sug- gestion were defeated on division ol the House. Mr. Coote said it seem- ed to him that the Finance Minister, •Mr. Rhodes, took an attitude of sym- liathy with the people having to pay interest rates of any size with com- modity pri'.C'i at present levels, but felt nothing could be done about it; or in oher words, his attitude would lead us to believe that there is just so much money in Canada, a fixed sum, and therefore the borrowers will have to do the best they can under the circumstances. Mr. Coote then went on to express as hi-3 own opinion that it is the duty of the Federal Government to see that there is sufficient money avail- able at alll times for the carrying on of industry and trade and commerce. Money, he stated was of no use un- less it circulated and if the Govern- ment takes the attitude that industry must be carried on with the money now in existence, it should take steps to see that the money now in Canada is circulated and at rates of interest which industry can afford to pay. If the Government put a tax on unspent balances the money in the country would soon be put to work. In reply to the Finance Minister's statement that capital, if taxed here, would leave Canada, Mr. Coote asked where it would go and went on to show that it w^ould fare far less well in Great Britain or the United States than in Canada. When the Dominion Government cannot secure money at five per cent, it was then the duty of the Government to use some of its own money, Mr. Coote said. The Dominion Governmenf is the source of all real money; the only legal tender in Canada is issued by the Dominion Government. The rate of interest paid on Dominion Government bonds i-s the chief factor in fixing intere.st rates and in the opinion of Mr. Coote, any govern- ment that pays five per cent, or more than five per cent, for money is sur- rendering its natural right to the money trust. That Ontario farmers are confident poultry is again to be their best cash crop, is evidenced by the fact that more chicks have been hatched and sold this year than any year to date. From present indications^ according to T. A. Btmson, Dominion Poultry Blanch, this year should be distinctly better than 1932 for those in tht poultry business. Hanover's former police office is to be turned into a barber shop. The two bear a resemblance. â-  You often u-dergo an incjuisition in each. We believe that if the upward trend of farm produce continues the merchants will benefit almost as aoOD as the farmers. 'Barley is the hardiest of cereal plants. The cultivation of this crop is diistributed from the desert's fringe to ,the edge of the Arctic. I have always wanted to see the Niagara peninsula in blossom time and this year I did, and a beautiful •sight it was. On Saturday I mot- ored down Lundy's Lane and ovei the plain beilovv Queenston Ileiglits. The peach blossoms were at theii very best. Later we motored tc AVelland and then along the shore to Hamilton, but it is all wonderfully district. The season is earlier in the X'iagara locality, than about llamiltn, but it is all wonderfully boautifiil and well worth troing a long distance to see. â€"AGNES MACPHAIL.
