Mr. D-tt chin that "we need leadership from the Federal govern- ment". If the mlmster has the courage to get up and open a subject that has been hushed up for years, then It would seem that he would be In logical person to lead the movement to do away with these death traps. Ever since the first train crawled along a track. people tlave been HIM on level crossings with a regularity that would have brought prompt action against any other form of business. Because of the human element involved, and because there are more and more cars bung used, the total from these level crossing midenls IS bounHu use 7 . Pages of copy have been written condemning the railways for thawing such hazards, hut nothing other than the odd placement of signal lights, has ever been done, Now at last a Government otNial has developed the courage to come out and say that the level crossmu are very dangerous and that they must go. Mr. Doucett also sprung another surprise. Speed has always been blamed for the numerous accidents and deaths on our highways. Now he says that attempts to pass on hills and curves are the main causes for loss of Me and limb, Mr. Doucett should have added the slow driver to his list " causes and he would have been closer to 100 percent right.

If your group is so ctvic minded how about looking into this matter and doing something about it. It seems that all these political organizations do is sit around knocking themselves out trying to think up ways and means ot collecting more lucre from the single person. Even a single man shouldn't have to pay poll tax. What's the matter, i. it a sin or something to be single? Should the single pemn be burdened with more and more taxes untli they are carrying the whole load? Let's remember the Baby Bonus etc, which the single person is pay- ing-and our income tax hits us heavier. Why don't you call it a penalty tax instead of a poll tax? Why should the single person pay to vote, anymore than the married person? Freedom to vote-ao the single person has to pay " or $10 a year for the privilege. Great! Everyone is quite aware taxes are needed to run a city and my for the maintaining ot diaerent administrations. But how about cutting down on some of the administrative std! and ml! punk: and meetings which are paid tor through taxation. Jud how much do you get paid for attending trim meetings? Why don't you ask the aldermen of the City Council if they wouldn't be willing to take WINNIPBG " CANADA'S NEW INDUSTRIAL HUI Believe It or not, Winnipeg's major wealth in industrial nth. than "riculturai.

They all hold other Jobs or positions, so they wouldn't starve to death it the whole amount was wiped out, and the position made purely honorary. If your group or the City Council really want to help the city, you would volunteer your services for free. Yes, I know you and the rest ot the crowd have to live too, but how about the single gal-with her big 835 a week-or to be more 'specific her big $25 to $30 a week. Could you live in the way you have been accustomed on $25 a week? ? ? Without these conditions of ttexibility, freedom, experiment. and capacity tor rapid initiative, enterprise becomes first stereotyped and standardised, then paralysed. Invention is ignored, productivity ne- glected. Under the rigidity of the guaranteed'annual wage, labor is bound to suffer. As the health of the business declines, both the opportunities and the rewards of employment are bound to dim- inish, it is hard enough now to start new businesses. This added handicap might reduce new businesses by half, thus depleting new employment opportunities. The guaranteed annual wage is a dangerous delusion. It embo- dies the myth that somehow or other workers can guarantee them- selves against the vicissitudes ot business. Moreover the guaranteed annual wage would restrict competition and would tend to play into the hands of Socialists. The "planners" smack their lips " the prospect of the guaranteed annual wage'. So it is not surprising the Communists put the guaranteed annual wage in the forefront of their policies. Here is what Tim Buck has to say on the subject in "National Affairs", the omeun Moscow-line journal in Canada-. "It is natural, indeed inevitable, that along with the demand for a shorter work week the demand for a guaran- teed annual minimum wage will grow also. These two demands grow out of the same conditions as do the demands for full i,'pe,'t/'ri1t and pensions; all four demands reflect the inseparable relation between class needs and group initiative." You preach democracy-how about practicing it? Stop taking away our God-given right to think and decide-ttttd spend our hard earned money ail by ourselves without your help. Pretty soon the single person will hand your group their my cheeks and then you civic minded people can hand us back our tobacco money-it we are lucky. Pardon me for living but the graveyards are Med, London. August, 1953. PEARL 1 (From The Outlook) The guaranteed annual wage is contrary to the basic princtples of the market-economy, These principles are mrrrihility, freedom, experiment, and capacity tor rapid initiative. A dynamic economy is prepared for change at any moment. Artificial rigidity is its death knell.

Why don't you and the rest of the crowd do something constructive just for once-and give the single person a break by leaving them alone.
