But wouldn't the en- suinR silence be terrible. Most historians appear to be able to agree on at least one point: That othfi- historians didn't have it just rijrht. Not all who say, "I just knew it would turn out that way," would have bet on it.

Subject to widespread favorable comment when Hon. Mitchell F. Hep- burn, Prime Minister and Provincial Ti'easurer, presented his budget in the Legislature, Ontario's showing of an estimated surplus of $7,000,00 after paying a relief bill of $12,500,000, was considered remarkable inasmuch as it represented the first balanced budget in Canada since the depression. "The complete picture, as revealed in the figures of the published statement shows the actual surplus to be much larger than Mr. Hepburn indicated, namely |9,313,938; and this after tak- ing care of a relief bill, not of |12,- 500,000 only, but of $13,270,000. This more than justifies the com- ments which have already been made, not only in regard to the succegsful financing of the Province's business for a year, but also with respect to the resulting effect on Ontario's position in the financial markets of the world, aa well a» the substantial relief it be- comes possible to give to taxpayers of aH classes. Action of the Treasury Depart- ment in publishing the statement in the press is a departure in govern- ment procedure and one which is de- signed to give promptly all the facts of the Pay-As You Go policy to the persons most interested â€" the tax- payers. Unprecedented Surplus Examination of the statement now confirms the fact that the surplus is twelve times the surplus budgeted for a year ago and achieved while other provinces were striving to borrow to meet current expenditures. This is the largest surplus realized by any Canadian province since Confeder. ation. It has also been noted that, in addition to realizing an unprece- dented surplus, the funded debt of the Province has been reduced by $26,- 000,000 and the gross debt by $33,- 000,000 â€" or three times the amount promised in the last budget adddress. It is the first reduction in the gross debt of the Province of Ontario that has been made in the present century. Many of the budget announcements have been enthusiastically acclaimed throughout the Province by reason of the widespread benefits they repre- sent. The highest commendation has been forthcoming from the municipal councils as a result of the granting of n provincial subsidy to nuinicipalities eiiual to one niill on the tax rate. At the same time, these councils have t)een enabled to re<luce taxation as a result of the Province having relieved them from contributing to the cost of old age pensions and mothers' allow- ances. The government's sympathetic attitude so far as social legislation Is concerned, is also reflecteil in the Pre- mier's statement endoi"sing the Dom- inion Government's decision to grant pension.^ to the blind at the age of 40. It is pointed out also that, in ad- dition to abolishing the amusement tax representing a sacrifice in revenue of $l.iH)0.000 a year, there have been other drastic cuts in taxation which have been greeted with enthusiasm on every hand. In the case of licences for farmers' trucks and com- mercial vehicles, there was a reduction in cost of twenty-five per cent, which means a saving of ovei- $1,000,000 a year to some 80.000 of these commer- cial operators, and a corresponding loss in revenue to the government. At the same time, there has been considerable rejoicing over the ad- ditional relief to rural nuinicipalities in the reduction from ,â- > to 1 per cent in the interest rate charged under the M'uniiipal Prainage .\ct and the Tile Urainage Act, and the lowering of service charges for Hydro to farmers. During the coming year, it was in- tinuited, there will be capital expend- itures of $;U ,'.t;?5,000 to provide em- ployment, $14,.=>87,000 going into high, way extensions and $2,W>0.000 for public buildings. .•\t the same time, the government is budgeting for a surplus of $2,282,0tH> after allowing $11,000,000 for relief. A year ago, it is recalled, Mr. Hep- burn made the following statement: â€" "With the saviiig of interest and a consecpient re<luction in the cost of government. We shall be able to carry the blessings of good government into the homcv of the humblest man and woman in this province." .\nd in de- livering his budget address in March, he renuirked: "We turn our faces not toward the shadows, but toward the sun, and view in that direction the happier day for this great land."

Heard, Flesherton (Durham Chronicle) /There's money in amateur religr- ion. If you don't believe this, read up the history of the late lamented Pastor Russell, a former necktie clerk in Alleghany, Pennsylvania; the lat« Billy Sunday, Aimee Macpherson, and last, but not least. Father Divine, the bald-headed nigger who was the self- styled "God" of Harlem, a precinct in New York City. One could stay nearer home and quote heads of sects, cults, or what-have-you who have not lost very much money in the business of saving souls by the hysterical route. Pastor Russell died discredited in the eyes of the world, but a martyr in the eyes of his followers. When he admitted in his trial at Hamilton that he knew no Greek, or hiero- glyphics, which rather discredited 'nis claim that his religion had been trans- lated from the original by himself, his followers refused to believe the courts and said he had been '"rail- roaded.'' The alleged kidnapping of Aimee Semple Macpherson a few years ago was pretty well exploded when the case went to court and a man named Osborne was catapulted into the case by the police, failed to make even an eye-lash flicker amoxig her followers. Her recent lawsuit, in which her daughter sued her for money, will have a similar effect, we opine. Billy Sunday made a good many dollars out of his sawdust trail, but at that, Billy was really reformed, and not the same man who was kicked out of professional baseball because he would not obey training rules. Any- one who knows athletics, especially the professional brand, knows what "breaking training rules" usually means. And now comes Father Divine. Formerly a laborer and hedge trim- mer, he started a new cult, and found many followers. His following in- cluded not only negroes but white pieople. He was 'IGod''. When he stabbed a man who tried to serve him in his "heaven" the other day. he little recked that this would be his downfalKi On the outs with the law, his first Lieutenant deserted this self-styled Messiah and has started another opposition "heaven"' that will likely meet with as much success as the first. In the meantime. Father Divnne rest.s in jail charged with fel- onous assault. There is something funny in these new religious sects â€" funny to every person except the followers. The new "head' collects and handles all monies, grows rich in the deal, and his dupes keep carrying in the money. In some cases we know, even the churches are deeded over to the head and not to the church, the followers blindly taking for granted everj'thing the new Jehovah says. Amateur religion developed into a "racket", and one not very far re- moved from some others being run under a les« euphonious name. READ THE "SMALL ADVTS".
