Thisâ€" information was given in the Legislature Monday by Premier Hepburn when it was decided to let the bill to amend the Social Diseases Act stand on the order paâ€" per until the report of the Magone Commission. which recently conductâ€" ed an inquiry into mental institutions is tabled in the House.

One can easily imagine united the people of Britain, France and United & hardâ€"boiled councillor asking, "What‘s that States, and their fight for liberty and demoâ€" got to do with it ?" cracy. Perhaps Mr. Fairweather, when he argues in rrmmeoninrseliees bcica ces this manner, is confusing two types of public When Hitler‘s army marched into Czechoâ€" enterprise.

Similarly, the management of a waterworks system that was losing money might excuse itâ€" In the case of Canada‘s railway problem, the taxpayers may with justice make a similar demand, and they are making it in many parts of the country today. The answer they are reâ€" ceiving, if Mr. S. W. Fairweather is assumed to be the official spokesman of the railway management, is that the deficits incurred each year are a small deduction from the national wealth created in communities served by the railways and are thus not sericus. | If the village waterworks department were not selfâ€"sustaining, the village taxpayers would want to know why and would insist that corâ€" rective measures be quickly adopted. No excuse on the part of the management to the effect that the supply of water was an essential public service and that a deficit was therefore unimâ€" portant would be accepted. The village taxâ€" payers would argue, and argue soundly, that net earnings of the system had to be sufficient to meet fixed charges. Deficits might be corrected or revision of rates or by economy in expenses; but it would be up to the management to pro-‘ vide corrections and not excuses. In some instances, the parallel is even more striking. There are some towns where the elecâ€" tric plant or street railway or the waterworks has originally been the property of a private company and has then become a publiclyâ€"owned utility. In all cases, it is safe to say, the comâ€" mission or civic government entrusted with the operation of the utility has been faced with the problem of meeting regular interest payments on the debt contracted when the utility was built or purchased, making provision for reâ€" tiring the debt, providing for depreciation of plant and paying current operating expenses. ; Was it Mr. Curran of the Sault Ste. Marie Star who said that the way to settle Canada‘s railway problem was to hand it over to a townâ€" ship council? It is a suggestion worth conâ€" sidering, for there are many municipalities in Canada which operate utilities resembling the Canadian National Railways in that they have been established for the public benefit ; but difâ€" fering from the railways in being selfâ€"supportâ€" + SUBSCRIPTIONS PAYABLE IN ADVANCE 5 §$2.00 per year in Canada. $2.50 per year in the United ‘Wtates and forcign countrics.

Hitler‘s troops on their return from Prag;l’e will be asking "Where do we go from here ?" There are two dangers in the acceptance of Mr. Fairweather‘s theory. The first is, that if taxpayers are content to continue paying withâ€" out protest the losses incurred by the C.N.R., the management will have no real incentive to reduce the losses ejther through increasing }menue or economizing in expenditures. The second is, that by an easy extension of the‘ theory, any new expenditure on the C.N.R., such as the completion of the Montreal terminal, can be justified. Neither of these dangers will be lightly dismissed by anyone who remembers the railway history of the past fifteen years. John Bull‘s big job today is to find how to stop Hitler‘s rise to world domination. sheet and transferred it to the national debt.
