V hwwmmmm-umwl an» not In» than load-y no...“ noun hunt... . ”but”, Citizens will readily recall the time when the wells overflowed and practically no pump- Oing was required. at recent years, however, there has been a gradual lowering of the water level until to-day it is 35 feet below the surface as compared with 27 feet a few years ago. This has necessitated the installation of more efficient pumping machinery, entailing a greater consumption of power to operate the bumps and a consequent increase in operating costs.

In a short time all wealth and all means of producing wealth passed into the hands of Lenin and his followers and he no- complished his purpose. ‘ In the retarding process he (headed may of his extreme theories. He withdraw some of the reietifnts, rxseatabliatted money Lenin, with an all-consuming belief in his theories which were gleaned from the writings of extreme radicals, was ambitious to try them out and when Kerensky, after the first revo- lution in Russia, failed to follow up his advan- tage through lack of strength and resource- fulness, Lenin stepped upon the scene of action and became the dominant figure in Russia, building up with consummate skill, an All Soviet Russia. He was surrounded by a band of workers who were fanatically loyal to him and aided him in his work. He would brook no opposition and set out ruthlessly to suppress those opposed to him and bend them to his will. In order to do so he employed methods which aroused the horror and con- demnation of the world. Hundreds of thous- ands were swept from his path in course of the reign of terror that was instituted and un- believable acts of crime were committed against every class of pOWion in order that the Soviet government ht gain its ends. With his friend Trotsky, who built up a revo- lutionary army which he successfully employed against counter-revolutionary armies, he 80- tablished himself the dictator of that vast and of the commissioners, too small for safety, there being no provision for emergencies that might arise. An overdraft incurred between the years 1914 and 1919, which'was due large- ly to free services and high labor costs, has been accumulated but with the new rates in effect it is hoped to eliminate it within the tnext year or two. With the death of Nikolai Lenin, there has passed away orge of the most spectacular as well as one of the most ruthless figures the world has produced in many decades. When all the facts which prompted the Commission to put into etteit the increased rates are considered, we believe that citizens will recognize that the proper course has been taken having regard to the efficient operation of the plant. ' . The Waterloo Water and Light Commis- sion has gained a reputation for managing this public utility in a business-like way and the personnel of the present commission is an assurance that the matter of increased rates was given thorough consideration before bang finally decided upon. Naturally the commissioners, like other citizens, are anxious to avoid putting into effect" an advance in rates unless necessity demands it but it was found that in order to equip the plant and operate it so that adequate service could be given, additional expenditures were required which must now be provided for. The aim is also to build up a surplus for emergencies and in pur- suing this policy the commission is but follow.. ing sound business principles. 192fand 1923, mythiane to-avoid" a loss in this department, e margin trf revenue over operating costs has been, in the opinion The Waterloo Water and Light Commie- in tRMtttt holster! one: man. did not get sion has announced a substantial increase in a fair show, but in than - Minions water rates, the increase going into effect on have followed and the ofttrndemg punished.

Already fully sixty per cent. of the exhibits are on their way to London. In order eliminate long drawn-out discus- sions and to shorten the sessions of the Mani.. toba Legislature, a ruling set forth in a report of a special committee on Rules, gives a mem- ber of the Government the right to apply closure on'debates in the Legislature. It pro- vides against further postponement of the de- bate and also prevents a member from speak- ing more than once or longer than thirty min- utes. It also emphasizes the fact that if the increases proposed .take .effeet on March lst they will have a serious effect on Canada's export trade. From a national stand- point they should not be put into effect, states the Association. Not only will industry be in- jured, but the business of the ports and mer- chant marine will be seriously affected. Ex- port trade cannot be carried on, under present conditions, if rates to foreign markets are to be raised, it is further emphasized. A protest is being made by the Canadian Manufacturers' Association against the pro- posed increases in ocean rates. It is pointed out that as compared with rates prevailing prior to the war, present ocean rates on a number of important commodities, Such as agricultural implements, automobiles, flour, etc., range from 53 to 166 per cent. higher while general cargo rates are from 100 to 300 per cent. higher on the measurement basis and 190 per cent. higher on the weight basis. Irreommenting on proposals to safeguard the money of depositors in banks, The Farmers' Sun states that if the government accepts any relation towards the banks which the public can construe as an assurance of security, it must place itself in a position to give real protection. Government inspection of bank head offices, it adds, should do that. It will not furnish bankers with sound judge ment, nor prevent banking losses, but if pro- perly carried out it will prevent the sort of wild-cat banking that wrecked the Home Bank and in accomplishing so much it will, have eliminated ninety; per cent. of the cause of banking instability, declares the Sun. them "make good." The fact that the Canadian government assisted many who had become stranded here, to get back to their own country shows clearly a disposition to deal with them fairly. There is too much tendency to give undue prominence to the cases cited without making clear all the circumstances in connection there- with.
