The pay will not come ont of the taxes, they stated. Mayor Ratz will bring the matter before the counci] in the near future. CHILDREN PLAYING ON STREETS STRUCK BY CARS Two Waterloo ‘youthn were inâ€" jured, but not seriously, on Saturâ€" day, when they ran into or were struck by cars while they were playâ€" ing on streets in the town. A warnâ€" ing was issued lollowln$ the acciâ€" denta by the Chief of Police that children should be forbidden the streets by their parents, as far as play was concerned. 2o Vol. 49, No. 13 _ The first accident occurred when sixâ€"yearâ€"old Peter Dooley, son of sixâ€"yearâ€"oid Peter Dooi son of Mr. and Mrs. David V.._Boo!c_y of Waterioo, ran against the side of the car of Frowde Seagram on Wilâ€" low street in the afternoon» The Shants, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Shants, suffered facial injuries when he ran in front of the car of Ed. Sehutt, R.R. 3, Wateric Preâ€"Election Budget ‘Dominion Deficit | Is $117,000,000 Other more Incidental features of the taxation changes include the imâ€" position of a 20 per cent. tax on cigarette lighters to make up for the drop in revenue from the sale of matches, and more drastic provisions with regard to consolidated income returns, increasing the rate where auch returns are allowed from 13% to 15 per cent. (6) Abolition of the tax on gold mines, with the partially offsetting proviso that the tax exempion of 60 per cen. hitherto allowed the mines on depletion account shall be curâ€" tailed to 33 1â€"3 per cent., and the exemption to gold mine dividends on the same grounds reduced from 50 to 20 per cent. The cales tax remains unchanged, «xcept for a concession given to arâ€" ticles produced by the deaf and dumb, which are to be taxed at only nalf the standard rate in future. Wealthier Classes Hit Altogether, from the standpoint of a preâ€"election ‘budget, its appea) lay largely in the burden which it imâ€" poses upon the wealthier classes in the state, rather than upon any lightening of the load for the averâ€" age taxpayer, So far as the indiâ€" vidual Canadian is concerned, there is no change in the impost which at fects him most, namely the income tax. Nor is there any bid for popuâ€" ]frlty by slashing the sales tax of doing away with the tax of one cent per pound still remaining on sugar. preferentia} duties on the same comâ€" modities. ‘These changes are made with the intention, deciaredly, of combatting the smuggling and other ilffcit â€" liquor | traffice which are blamed for the drop in federal reâ€" venues from liquors from $41,000,000 in 1930 to $12,250,000 in 1934 Ottawa. â€" This _ year‘s _ budget throws into ‘bold relief, defying any attempt to overlook it, the growing seriousness of the financial problem which ia overtaking the Dominion. Revenues some $37,000,000 greater than last year, an improvement of $10,000,000 in the showing of the C.N;R., the addition of 65,000 workâ€" ers to the pay rolle of the country, and broad expansion of foreign and domestic trade, with a resulting eubâ€" stantial measure of recovéry ‘by inâ€" dustry and agricultureâ€"all these faâ€" vorable features of the 12 months now ending fail to disguise the fact that its net result, rallway and relief costs considered, is a deficit of $117,â€" 000,000 to the public treasury. And since 1930 the cumulative deficits of the Dominion have amounted to $669,900,000. 1934 Ordinary Outlay The Rhodes budget estimates the ordinary expenditures for the year 1934â€"35 to be $356,600,000, which is approximately $2,200,000 lower than the amounts authorized by vote and statute. _ _ s _ ‘While there was an increase of $10,000,000 over the figure of the year before, he pointed out it was $26,000,000 below the ordinary expenditure in the year 193031. â€" â€" FHEREFI®G® ..::/isc00. .ce mm ioi imiigeteies Governorâ€"general‘s eecretary‘s office Immigration and colonization ...

The lad, curious as to whether the hatlets which John Seip, 13, had fired at an outhouse, had pierced the wall walked into the shed and was struck in the upper left ches: by another bullet fired by Seip who was unaware that the lad was behing the wall The bullet which was of a .22 calibre :ifle plerced the lung, causing a hemorrhage and severing several large arteries connected directly to the heart. He died within a few minâ€" utes of the accident. Dr. W. H. Harvey of Baden, who was called by the frantic father, agreed with Dr. T. B. Feick of New Hamburg, the coroner, that an inâ€" ques! would not be necessary. It was learned that the older Schmidt hoy, Kenneth had been called by hils father.to assist him in moving a stove while he and his brother were enâ€" guged in target practice. Seip, he stated. apparently walked in and picked up the gun. The first inlimation it had been taken was when a report of a discharge echoed through the ouse. Going out to inâ€" vestigate he saw Seip, who had bulâ€" lets of his own, near the door. Schmidt continued to the side of the outhouse when a second bullet was Bred.

The approximate salary for the in: «pector will be $2,500, Dr. Geiger, chairman of the local board was told. Waterioo will bear a fourth of the c~st of the inspector, the authorities were told, if they agree to such a scheme. At the present time Waterâ€" loo pays out over $200 for inspection of dairies, herds, etc. and the fourth of the salary of the full time men would amount to $500 an increase of about $300. Mayor Ratz and E. A. Strasser exâ€" pressed themselves as favorably imâ€" pressed, but gave no definite aseurâ€" ance to Kitchener on the subject. Considerable duplication is at pres ent heing done by the inspectors from each municipality.

CLAIM THEY ARE UNDERNOURISHED Two Fathers Sentenced on Tuesday to Ten Day Jail Term for Defying Court Order. The twelve Bridgeport families who were ordered to Kve their 265 children return to school immediâ€" ately, were still voicing their deâ€" fiance at presa time. Their children, they claim, are so badly underâ€" nourished that they should not be allowed to attend school. ‘Despite the fact that the County Officer of Health declared that they were in the best of health, the relief assoâ€" ciation of the county had the chilâ€" dren examined and it was found, they allege, that twelve of thirteen children _ were markedly â€" underâ€" weight and that their tonsils and adenoids were infected owing to the lack of staples in their food rations, such as meats and milk. the British preferential tariff. The tax amounts to three per cent., but last year it was cut to 1%4 per cent. on imports under the British preferâ€" entlal tariff.

Neither of the two fathers had the money. The wife of one screamed as she heard the ruling, and clung to her husâ€" band, demanding thaf she, too, be sent to jail with him. s Families of five are receiving vouchers to the value of $3.30 per week, the Bridgeport authoritiea state, while a family of seven has been given over four dollars.
