Fresh Beginning THE MANAGEMENT aiid operation of The CLINTON NEWS-RECORD has been, taken over by a new personnel beginning this week, New beginnings are always interesting events in the life of an individual or com- munity. In such a matter, as the new begin- ning of The NEWS-RECORD it is interesting both for the publishers and for the public which is to be served by them. The cooperation of both is essential in the production of a serviceable weekly newspaper. The anticipation of the publishers to be of real service to the community is a matter of joy to them as they go forward in their new venture, and the anticipation of the public, in receivingi weekly, the news of their own com- =unity is likewise a concern of interest and pleasure. The NEWS-RECORD, under the manage- Can Local Government Survive? ment of three well-known young men, Laurie , Colquhoun, Frank M. McEwan and I-larry J. 1VIcEwan, is most 'desirous of giving a complete. service to the public of Clinton and vicinity, through the published columns, and it -is anxious to receive the cooperation of all the citizens in order to render a valuable con- tribution to the life of this community. It will, be the policy of The NEWS- RECORD to conduct a local weekly newspaper, of which both the publishers and public may be proud, and one through which the highest interests and welfare of this town and sur- rounding countryside will be served and ad- vanced. This is our policy as we begin our life with you, the people among whom we live and move, and it will be the policy of e. The NEWS-RECORD as long as-we are in the saddle.

From Our Early Files (The Financial Post) HARD-PRESSED COMMUNITIES g 0 t some blunt advice for solving their financial -problems at the annual convention of the Can- adian Fedeeetion. of Mayors and Municipalities at Calgary this week. It was no magic or easy cure offered by D. C. Corbett of McGill Uni- versity. But it Was one that will make sense to a lot of people. • In briefest form the advice of this spec- ialist in public administration boiled down to this: Vunicipalities should accept their respon- sibilites and• they should exercise their author- ity. He would have a much tougher tax policy, get after and plug the• leaks and losses in the existing property tax, and raise the level if necessary. He also recommended municipal taxation on all Crown property and the re- moval of the federal sales taxes on goods pur- chased by municipalities, Corbett came out strongly ageinst the growing practice of grants and other .handouts from provincial and federal governments. That path, he warned, because of the inevitable strings attached, would lead to the end of local government. He was equally opposed to muni- cipal governments turning over important re- sponsibilities to senior governments. He stat- ed: "The fewer important functions local governments have to "perform, the less vital will local democracy' be, and the more apathetic will be its electorate and its rep- resentatives. Only where there is a proved need for central control and operation should any service be turned over to sen- ior governments." If municipal government is to survive it must, as Mr. Corbett does well to point out, solve, its own problems, stand on its own feet.

For if you keep asking the government to do things for you then you are automatically asking for higher taxes. Government itself creates and possesses nothing. All it can do is to take something from the citizens and hand it back 'to them—less a handling charge to pay the wages of govern- ment employees and cost of distribution. Taxes are the means by which this transfer is made possible. Higher wages without higher production per man mean high- er prices. If welfare transfer payments are raised because of rising prices then taxes must go up, too. Thus higher prices now mean higher taxes. Keep these facts in mind when you read about new State welfare proposals, or about new wage demands that are not accompanied by assurance of higher per-man pro- duction.
