In comparison the tax on the same car in the United States is $85.00. Bnuauyoneinflxhncec:nhaveflnflqplfityto'.hhkhtl motor car is a luxury, is beyond even the most gifted commercial minds. The salesman, the executive, the woman shopper, even school children are absolutely dependent in many cases on car transportaâ€" tion. ‘;-heâ€"v;o;;;:;;-ii:/ix;g'tnr enough out in the country to be away from standard methods of public transportation would be forced to mode into crowded city accommodations were it not for his jalopy. bivmascpaft se sedbedionneisutse P At least oneâ€"third of every dollar spent by the motorist goes to the tax collector. â€" Many of these men, old to be safe. The farmer depends on the family car to get him into town, to furnish motive power for his trailer so he may bring produce to the stores and markets, and get him home again with the purchases he has made. Every hunting season shows the tragedy of allowing untrained and ignorant wouldâ€"be hunters to carry guns in the bush. Other hunters are killed or wounded by some crack pot who never had a gun in his hands before, ands so crazy he will shoot at the first rustle of bush. The real tragedy comes when a hunter is killed or wounded. The destructive force of a highâ€"powered rifie bullet on tissue such as flesh, is tremendous. All the scientific study @f milltion dollar ammunition companies has gone into the making of these bullets. Many is a puny creature compared to a deer or even a wild duck. These wild creatures have an immense reserve of vitality not given to man. Ammunition companies recognize this and design hunting loads to do enough destruction to kill these animals outright. Even #f a hunter is hit in the arm or leg, he usually loses that member and could easily bleed to death before obtaining medicat aid. The whole picture is so collosal in its stupidity, it is amazing that some of our saner politicians haven‘t brough tthe matter out where it can have the airing it so badly: needs. "WD;\;n; in New Himpshire, a disgusted farmer painted the word "COW" in large letters on both sides of his animated milk supplier. Notice he painted "both" sides, not trusting that one would be {n&t;:r vehicle taxes? The answer could be very interesting -~l:a\:;zt-o:l;and property are destroyed, although there never has been a cow or horse, which resembled a deer. s It seems odd that practically every province insists on a fairly rigid test before issuing a license to drive. These same authorities give any person who can scare up a dollar for a license, the right to travel freely with a weapon far deadlier than any car. ~ A true sportsman of course will make sure of his mark before pulling the trigger. He is probably also a careful driver. This same man would welcome a Hunting License test, for he hunts because he loves the sport and could pass the test with little effort. It‘s the man who doesn‘t care what happens when he pulls the trigger who needs the test. This is the same fellow who tries to eut off pedestrians when they are crossing the street or run over your pet dog. At the present time, every man who goes hunting pays one dollar for a gun license. If he hunts deer it costs him extra. If he hunts pheasants or moose, more dollars. All this tax is earmarked for government spending. An infinitesimal portion finds its way to the Department of Lands and Forests for propogation and proâ€" tection of fish and game. The rest become part of the government‘s "spending pian". If, instead of letting any store whose proprietor has the right connections, sell hunting licenses, there were issuers appointed who were capable of judging whether a man should have a license, then we might start to enjoy our sorties into the bush, without the constant dread of being shot in the back.

Within the lnst one hundred years, or leas, The impetus of capital has brought More practical results than those ndnml Throughout a million years of human When countless generations had to waste Enormouns efforts on perverted aims To please the very few who ruled the reat.

Some people sufigestedj that if the government would only) do something to cut down these} profits, the cost of living would; fall and consumers‘ worries wouldf be over. The number of letters‘ received by newspaper editors onT this theme prompted the Ottawa Journal to point out editorially that "all businesses in Omario[ making profits of more than $10,â€"; 000 a year have been compelled‘ to pay to the Dominion ang Onâ€" tario governments no less than 52) per cent of those profits". And beâ€"! ginning January 1, the gmali added, the income tax on "profits! would go up another two per cent} to help pay for the new oldâ€"age pensions.

She is Green Meadow Lily Pabst, bred by Fred Fiher Editors Say ... THE SHLIEST PROPOSBAL (ho-h..t:-”) it is a caustic commentary on ignorance of many American Twaders and the educational system when a responsibile member of Congress makes a fool of himself by propesing thiat stega be taken to discover the possibility of the U.S. buying Canada from Great Britain.

Canada is as free from domination by the British governâ€" ment today as the U.S. ever has been since the revolution. It is hard to place Congressman Timothy Shechan in his proper place, but the fact is his name reveals a great deal. He is Jrish by race, and has lived in Chicago, where the Chicago Tribune‘s ignorant attitude toward England, under Irish influences, has existed for a generation or two. Sheehan‘s fool proposal is just the outcome of these influences. But, surely those Americans who know what Canada is and what her position really is must be blushing for theiÂ¥ We recently read an article in which a New York physician comes up with an old, but still good bit of advice. Many of your aches and pains, stomach disorders, heartburn and nausea, backâ€" aches and pailpitations are due to submerged hatred and anger. Physical symptoms, says the physician, blamed on something you ate, may, actually be caused by somebody or something that you hate. country by working for things you believe in. There are acceptable moral equivailents in which civilized man can, if he will, work off his resentments and his hatreds in a constructive way. There is nothing about anger of which one should be ashamed except as it is not converted into socially good ends. * The previous official World Champion for yearly milk producâ€" tion on three timesâ€"aâ€"day milking was the Canadian Holstein Reâ€" Echo May Burke, owned by J. E. Houck, Brampton, Ont. with 35,â€" :;H lbs. milk containing 1260 lbs. at. Nowhere eise in the world could such gross ignorance come to the surfice, and this is because of the faulty system of education which ignores all the rest of the world in its teaching of history. American school children are taught only a very provincial sort of history, especially distorted when it gelates to things British. The school history books in the U.S. are stil} where they were soon after the revolution. They are about 100 years behind the rest of the world. This is pretty old stuff for any physician to be fobbing off on the public. But the fact is, it is a thing that cannot be said too often because a majority of the human race cannot get to realize that bottledâ€"up resentments are poisons. It is always good advice to get things off the chest. You do not necessarily have to go around bopping people on the head, but when you get fancied or actual slights into the open they are not so likely to fester. ernments not indirectly aiding in the hateful inflation? â€" owned and developed by Merle H.

FISH _ HATCHERIES Visitors to the Fish Hatcheries at this time of year will see the eggs in the process of hatching, or already hatched, depending upon temperature or type of waâ€" ter with which the hatchery is supplied. _ _ In the hatcheries of the spring fed rearing stations most of the eggs will be hatched owing to the comparatively warm winter waâ€" ier with which these stations are velop fairly fast and the hatch is early. In the commercial hatchâ€" eries, which are usually supplied with water from lakes or rivers, the hatch is usually slower at this time of year owing to the colder water from these sources. Thereâ€" fore, the eggs may not hatch until the water starts to warm in the spring. This great variation in the hatching time of fish eggs seems to be little understood by mug of us who are more familiar wi the ‘reproduction of warm bloodâ€" ed animals such as the birds and mammals whose body temperaâ€" tures remain constant. In pracâ€" tically all of these creatures incuâ€" bation takes place within, or in close contact with, the body of the animal, and nature grovides that throughout their life cycle temperatures must remain fairly constant.
