-A. 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.

HIGHER', Taxes?
"Don't be silly," you ore likely to retort. But the question is
not' a foolish one. 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.
