. Published every Thursday by David Bean and Sons, Ltd. % 4 111C ~â€"Waterloo Chronicle In the Ontario _ Legislature â€"recently W. G. Weichel, North Waterloo‘s representâ€" ative,, gave expression to his views on several questions of public interest, He was quite frank in his advocacy of a high tariff and referred particularly to the United States, to which country many Canaâ€" diang have gone in the past few years where they are employed in manufacturing goods from Canadian raw materials. Canada, he said, never needed protection as she did toâ€"day, and he would build a tariff wall so high that United States products could not enter this country. ‘"Inch by inch, foot by foot, I would put that tariff wall up against the United Statesâ€"and a little higher," declared North Waterloo‘s member. _ The tendency of our neighbors to the south, of late years, to imâ€" pose added restrictions on goods going into that country from Canada, has tended to inâ€" crease sentiment in favor of higher protection against United States products which are sold The suggestion is made by the implement manutacturers that if it is found advisable to give encouragement to western agriculture, the greatest assistance could be afforded to the farmers at the present time by the immediate abolition of the 6 per cent. sales tax on farm implements in which case the companies would immediately reduce the prices of all their imâ€" plements by the amount of this tax. In view of the facts presented by the imâ€" plement companies the Government should consider well their representations before making further reductions in the duties on agricultural implements. We believe that no member of the Government desires to take any action which might result in blofting out one of the important industries of the country which has been in existence for seventy years especially when little benefit will result thereâ€" from whereas an irreparable injury may be done one of Canada‘s large industries. As to the prices of implements it is pointed out that the cost of raw materials is on the average 138% higher, labor 113% higher, transportation for incoming materials and out~ going implements, from 44% to 100% higher, and taxes 100‘% higher than in 1914, not inâ€" cluding the 6‘ sales tax imposed recently. The distressing experiences of the farmers have been shared by implement makers, the losses of eight of the principal companies in Canada during 1921 and 1922 amounting to $5,905,000, while nearly one half of the emâ€" ployes who were engaged in the industry lost their positions. ‘Thirtyâ€"two implement manufacturers, inâ€" cluding the Waterloo Manufacturing Co., in a joint statement of their position, frankly lay their case before the public in which it is shown that abolition of the duty on agricultural imâ€" plements would result in but a small saving of $7.57 per year to the farmer on his necessary and most expensive machines. On the other hand it would place in jeopardy nearly one hundred plants which employ over 11,000 hands whose livelihood would be affected and give but little corresponding advantage to the farmer. Canadian tariff rates on agriâ€" cultural implements are now low as a result of six downward revisions since 1883. From 35¢% the duty has been reduced to 10% on mowers, binders and reapers, 12%%‘% on cultiâ€" vators, harrows, rakes, drills and manure spreaders and 15%% on ploughs and threshing machines. The fact is stressed that if the duty is removed the whole agricultural implement industry would disappear and eventually the United States implement companies would reâ€" place the Canadian companies. The intimation in the Speech from the Throne delivered in the Dominion Parliament in February, that it was the opinion of the government that such reduction of taxation as it may be possible to effect should aim, primarily, at reducing the cost of the instruâ€" ments of production in the industries based on the natural resources of the Dominion, has stirred the implement makers to action as they fear that the government is about to make a further reduction or abolish the customs tariff duties on agricultural implements. | W.

Advertising copy‘ must reach the office not later than Monday noon to insure insertion, IMPLEMENT MAKERS _ OPPOSED | TO FURTHER REDUCTION | IN TARIFF DUTIES | SUBSCRIPTION RATES ADVERTI8ING RATESs LEGISLATURE North Waterloo has a considerable number of industries which would be affected te a more or less extent by any changes in the tariff and the views of Mr. Euler on the subject were therefore awaited with considerable interest. Naturally, as the representative of a riding which is largely industrial, he advised against any action which would tend to react unfavorâ€" ably on the business interests of either the manufacturer or farmer in North Waterloo so that his stand on the tariff will appeal to a large section of the community as one which has in view the conservation of the interests of his constituents. The King government secured the record majority.of 121 in the vote on the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne, the Proâ€" gressives supporting the government. However much we may deplore artificial obâ€" structions to Free Trade as evidenced in the policy of protection we must take conditions as we find them and so adjust the tariff as to protect the interests of both the agricultural and industrial sections of our population. Not until the budget is brought down, however, will it be definitely known what action the Government proposes to take on the tariff. In the meantime it is interesting to note that Mr. Euler supported the GovErnment in the vote on the Address. An important feature of the debate in the Dominion House has been the united and inâ€" sistent demand of parliament for a decrease in taxation. : rlant section of indusiry, conâ€" W. D.

Dbome un pes We m mels The member for North Waterloo left no doubt as to where he stood on the various questions which he discussed in his address and even though his constituents may not agree with all of the views expressed by him on the subjects referred to they will credâ€" it him with frankness in his discussion of public questions and a desire to serve the inâ€" terests of North Waterloo and the province generally. As in his other public addresses Mr. Weichel again took a strong stand on the O.T. A., asserting that prohibition had not been a success. He claimed that it had driven the liquor evil underground with the result that bootlegging had become the most flourishâ€" ing industry in Ontario. Mr. Weichel favored an early vote in order to ascertain whether the people wished the O.T.A. continued. There is a growing feeling among Canaâ€" dians that we should develop our own resources and Mr. Weichel did well to call attention to the matter. Reciprocity in the shape of an interchange of the products of the two countries would seem to be more desirable than a constant raising of tariff barriers but of course there must be mutual concessions. ‘The raising of the tariff barriers by one country but invites retaliation by the other. It is hoped, however, that nothing will develop that will imperil the good relations of the two countriés. Mr. Weichel has always been a staunch adâ€" vocate of bringing Alberta coal to this province. He said he was in favor of granting a subsidy if necessary in order to secure Alberta coal for use in Ontario and was confident that it would not only help to bring east and west fogether but would be of material assistance to the Province of Alberta, as well as to other proâ€" vinces. 4 agitation for higher duties on goods coming from that country. \ | W.

Ridout of the firm of Ridout & Strickland, insur ance and financial brokers, Toronâ€" to, stated that be had made a proâ€" fit of approximately $100,000 on his purchase of the $10,000,000 of Proâ€" vince of Ontario Treasury bills from the former Provincial Treasurer, Hon. Peter Smith. He â€" cleared $50,000 in twentyâ€"four hours and anâ€" other $50,000 in the same length of time. * In the Ridout transaction | the $100,000,000 of bonds were split into two sections of $50,000,000 each, and Mr.. Ridout told the committee that in each of the two deals, involving overnight trips to New York and a few hours‘ negotiations at each end, his profitâ€"was, roughly, $50,000, Out of that amount, however, were to be deducted a.$1,200 fee which he paid for legal advice in connection with the deal, and the expenses of himself and Assistant Provincial Treasurer Charles Mathews _ on their two jourrieys to New York to put through the transactions. 1 In the morning the body was dug out and taken to the residence of Mrs. M. Whalen and funeral was held from there. There was a bad storm raging at the time and the house was comâ€" pletely destroyed, with all its conâ€" tents in a few minutes. The body was buried in snow and the three who escaped from the house had to take refuge in the barn for night. DOUBLE MISFORTUNE IN HOME. wWIFE DIES AND HOUSE BURNâ€" ED TO GROUND SAME DAY A double misfortune attended the home of Mr. Weadensodia near Charlton recently. His wife died late in the afternoon.
