"You do not need to be damned about the immigration lituation," snorted Mr. Stewart. "It will cure on the St. Lawrence it can be utilized. He be. lieved that development of the water power at th present time may even precede transports tion Neititiets. The, Minister of the Interior, Hon. Charles Stewart, speaking recently before the Border Chamber of Commerce, and expressing his per- sonal View. stated that the time was ripe for the development of the St. Lawrence water- way and that the power developed would pay the entire cost-of the project. So rapid, he stated, has been the development of the water- power usage in this country that he believed now that as fast as this power can be developed According to competent medical authori- ties, sickness costs hundreds of millions a year while premature death from causes which to a vast extent are preventable, costs additional millions. A well-known public health official at- tributes the public indifference in this direction to a general want of knowledge of these losses and of the effective mea s whereby sickness and premature death afray be prevented. Some such plan no doubt will ultimately be put into effect in this province. Assuredly the matter is deserving of attention. Undeniably many valuable lives are being lost in rural Can- ada each week for lack of medical health s vice such as is proposed. Some time ago the people of the neighbor- ing province of Quebec, feeling the need of a more adequate health service in the rural com- munities, organized County Health Units; small, full-time medical health departments. Since then the counties protected by these County Health Units have had fewer deaths and fewer cases of sickness than ever before. Their health, according to reports, has improved amazingly and hundreds of lives have been saved. Public health work, though it saves lives, costs money and this has been the obstacle in the way. It is encouraging to note, however, that a plan is now being worked out under which the Dominion and the provinces would combine to help the counties pay for full-time County Health Units. C Recognizing that good health is a national asset, efforts arm)“; .beig directed towards securing for the people in the rural and semi- rural districts life-saving advantages similar to those enjoyed by urban centres. Their lives. it is pointed out, are just as important to Can- ada as the lives of city dwellers, yet every year in these districts thousands of lives are lost that could be saved if these places had the same public health work done for them that the cities have, asserts the General Secretary of the Canadian Social Hygiene Council. I --,-i---. The objects which Mr. Weichel seeks to accomplish with his proposals are to be com- mended. His suggestions are assuredly worthy the earnest consideration of the highways de- partment. The danger occasioned by glaring headlights on the highways at night is a real menace and any plan which will lessen or eliminate it will naturally be welcomed. He also suggested that the left front headlight .

It Ag Mr. Weichel pointed out-and those obviougty is not a pleasant experience for the who have had occasion to motor on the high- eou.ltry.m.an, on visiting his poultry yard, to ways at night will confirm his statement-there find choice birds missing which have dis- is a period when two cars approach each other appeared during the night.

In its current issue, the Monetary Times, Mr. Weichel urged that every motor vehicle carry a spot light on the right side of the car at on angle of forty-five degrees so as to throw a beam of light on the edge of the pavement, the use of such light to be made compulsory. He also suggested that the left front headlight of a car. the one directly in front of the driver, be changed to a dimmer or green light which, he stated, would reduce the da'nger which now arises from glaring headlights.

An incl-sue of $11,000,000 in the production of nickel Ind copper assisted materially in e.tab1ishintt this meor6brtsakirtg produettmt ttgum.

The budget also includedl the repeal of a number of nuisance taxes inc uding those on transportation and telegrams. wahWive time to the study of the steel situation which has proved a trouhious prob- lem in its essential features. A third influence, it is pointed out, is the desirability of seeing what Mr. Hoover proposes before-the Canadian tariffs are materially changed. l As predicted, the budget brought down by Hon. Mr. Robb recently provided for few tarif f changes and none of vital importance. Three reasons are advanced for this. One is that the government, not expecting to go to the country this year, has refrained from making any radical cuts in taxes, reserving these for elec- tion year, while another consideration, it is suggested, is the fact that the government "It is reasonable, however, to expect that some means could be evolved whereby no Man- cial agent over a term of several months could accumulate personal liabilities in such volume that they swallow not only his own personal resources but those of his clients as well. Such a measure would protect the financial agent as well as his client." "There are difficulties in the way, of. course, and the volume of margin accounts handled would add to the obstacles existing in ordin- my cases. "The Monetary Times has never been in favor of the extension of government Imegttla- tion into the realms of business, but it would appear that "some machinery might he invented for checking up accounts and preventing brokers getting into trouble as deeply as some would appear to have done with proportionate "loss, to their clients. It is possible that an audit by a firm of chartered accountants at regular intervals, whose reports would be 'sub- mitted to the government, would go far to re- iduce the losses which sometimes occur. These iinspections if made at certain periods by re- sponsible auditors would not prevent failures occurring, bututhey would by disclosing some-) thing of the true condition of affairs tend to; prevent liabilities mounting up to the stupen-j dous figures which they might otherwise reach.

If clients" funds Were required by law to be kept separate from the broker's own funds it might afford some measure of protection to the cus- tomer. ' In its current issue, the Monetary Times, discussing the advisability of according ade- quate protection to brokers' clients, has the following timely comment on the matter which has been brought prominently to the attentioii of the public by reason of the failure of a Well- established brokerage house in Toronto: . it in proposed to embody provisions in the propoeed legislstlon that' would make it nice» nary for all persons transporting fowl to have a license. It is also proposed in addition that they carry records showing where the fowl Were purehased and to whom it was sold. The Jhrpartment of Agriculture which has been studying the question for some time, suggests ‘that authority be given police officers to make a search of all trucks carrying poultry, and, in addition, that they be given the right to exam- ine the records of theianaport company to. ascertain where the fowl originated and their destination. . jatar-Aattoromirwtuintmaaetimodueir. 1uittasdmi-dto-toitht-tietrs.
