THURSTON, . • Editor Assoc Editor EDITORIAL ITE.M8 Politicians on the midsummei ftump, are discovering that they can- rot reconcile any people and make them happy by incrvasinif thi-ir taxes. • • • The stock jiiarket took a crash last week and a niiriad of investors (suck- ers) were caujfht. It was expected that the market would receive a set- hack before a permanent le%'el wa." reached. • • • . The summer camp editor of the Be -ton Herald is an observant phil- /)sopher. lie remark.^:- "The new Jiathin? suits are cut so low at thi back that the girls will be tanned almost down to where they would have been in prandmaV day." • • • . John D. Ro:kefeller, multi-million- airt-, makes this explanation of his I>ersistent austerity:- "I'm an old jnan, and If I smiled peopl?t would think I were pretending." But why jiot smile, John. You rarely paid attention to what paople thought of you when you were accumula<|inn j'our millions. Look at the bright pide of thinjfs; bettor to lauprh al ^•nur own jokes than not to laugh at all. The world really loves the man, old or young, who sees the funny eide of things. Besides, it helps your digestion. • • • .^ correspondent asks what is the origin of the name "Nazi," assumed by the dominant political party in Germany. The title is made up out of the word Xationalsozialistichc. The full name of Hitler's party i.s Nation- alsozialistiche Deutsche Arbetterpartei X National Socialist German Labor Party), which would be too long for popular use. • • • Political leaders in Canada have re- cently been celebrating birthdays, the latest being Premier Henry. Premier Bennett also acknowledges a sixty- second birthday the other day, and Mr. Mackenzie King, the Opposition leader, with les.sening locks, a short time since confessed to being over eixty. The Ontario Opposition lead- er, Mr. Ih'pburn, is but a youth in comparison, 'though forging to the front. As for feminine political leadership, the maidens rarely con- fe.-^.s more han twenty-five past, and gallant associates are prone to con- cede that they do not dare to guess the age of the fair one, but that, anyway, she does not look it. • • • â- Wheal, for future delivery, went over $1 a bushel in the Winnipeg market recently and a few days after- wards dro])ped back to lower levels. .The phenomenal upturn in prices is said to be mostly speculative, as the foreign demand has been indifferent, and there is stilT^ very large (luan- tily of last year's crop in storage in Canada and the United States. Vn- fortunately for the growers, it is not i,n their pos-cs.slon, but is held by the speculators and by the Governments, and so only a limited number of pro- ducers are directly benefited by the increased prices. There is the added explanation for the increased prices that in both countries the acreage of the ll'Ii.'i crop was considerably de- creased and adderl to this the damage caused in the widespread areas by the drought and invages of locusts. iWe in Ontario have fortunately not been injured by the locusts, but our ccrgal crops and fruits have suffered from drought at the tims of writing and are still suffering. In our <li.<trict the lo.-s from wheat shortage is small as our acreage is never large, but the oat crop is very poor in many neigh- borhoods. A redeeming crop is hay, which has been of more thati average yiild and quality. Recruiting For Regiment The Grey Regiment goes to camp at the Brigade camp in Owen Sound on August 8th, together with the Simcoe Foresters, Northern Pioneers and the Algonquimi, which comprise the Infantry Brigade. Recruiting is now taking place for "D" Company and men will be taken from Flesh- erton, Durham and Hanover. Fif- teen men will be taken on the strength for the company, besides the c-ight who coniprispd the class last fall, and who will take the second part of their course at the camp. Any young man who wishes to be taken to the military camj) are re ((uested to make arrangements with -Major A. E. Bellamy or Capt. W. E. Turney. Something For Nothing Offers of politicians to grant all sorts of favors for nothing is a favor- ite device of politicals, especially when an election is in the offing. .-Vbo- lition of examination fees, lowering of gasoline taxation and aulomobilt license fees, doing away with county contiibutors to old age pensions, and to highway constiuction and other things have been mentioned recently as bids for support. The electors should look on such offers with more than suspicion. The Goderich Signal, a staunchly Liberal weekly, is quite right whtTi it declares in regard to Leader Hepburn's prom- ises that if he is placed in office his Government will assume tho on(ire ^ost of Provincial highways. The Sig- nal is "not sure that this would be a good move. The money, whether paid by the Province or by the county au- thority, comes from the people; so it might be said it makes no diCferenee, in the lung run, which authority pays the bill. But when the county council knows it has to collect and pay over to the Province twenty per cent, ol the cost of any Provincial higluvay within the bounds of the county it asks the Government to go -slowly in the construction of any such high- ways, lest the taxpayers should gruni- ble at the county rate. For instance, the Huron County council a few years ago represented to the Provincial De- partment of Highways that furtliei highway construction in this county should be so limited that the county -â-  liability should not be greater than could bc^ met with an annual rate of one mill. If the present system is changed, and the Province pays the entire cost of Provincial highways, this check upon expenditure will be removed, and the De'|)arlinent ot Highways will be besieged with de- mands for new highways here, there and everywhere â€" all to be paid for evt'iitually by the people, but indirect- ly so they will not realize what they are paying for. Indirect taxation is an expensive system of raising gov- ernmental revenue; there should be lc-«s, rather than more, of it." The same may be said of old age pensions. Remove the c-tunty contri- bution of twenty percent and you re- move a reason for some measure of local control, which is too sliglit al- ready. â€" Mt. Forest Confcxlerato.
