A VALUABLE LEADs
South Dorchester is one of the first townships to takie advan
tage of-a new act -permitting rural municipalities to allow taxpayers
a discount of 5 per cent, per annum on taxes paid in advance. Town
ships and certain other municipalities have been collecting taxes
near the end of the year, and >in order* to pay the township’s bills as
they fell due have been borrowing money at the current rates of
interest, usually abppt 5 per cent. At the same time a ratepayer
may have •sufficient money in the bank, drawing three per cent, in
terest, whereas if he used' this money to pay his taxes in advance,
or when the payments became due he would be. securing two per
cent, more for his money.
South Dorchester’s action could, with profit to the municipal
ities and the individual ratepayers, be followed by other municipal
ities.—St. Thomas Times-Journal.

Editors and publishers are not living on the fat 'of the land
these days. Hence when, some- liberal minded friend shows a heart
and takes a newspaper man out to lunch and thrusts a live bill of .
fare under his. nose, the s|5.r-ibe is liable to be a bit chesty. At the
same time the newspaper man cannot help keeping his nose set
for an item for his paper. And here’s what happened to the writer
only last week, on the occasion of his being dfrmd.
Uust as. he- Was. allowing digestion to wait on appetite he looked
over the 'bill of fate only to- find "the- items mentioned consisted of
a whole lot of imported goods. There were all manner Of offer-'•
ings of date pies and lemon pies and. foreign sauces and pickles and
condiments' and drinks and all that sort of thing. There were all
sorts of articles of food in one form and another that came frdm
"distant” producers. But there was an aching void where there
should have- beemappie pies and advertised: local meats and eggs
and of local made jam and sauces. So there you are again. The
city is not onto,its job, though there’s ho room for argument when
the writer .states the fanners of Ontario produce the stuff that
mak.es as. fine food, as is- to be, found anywhere in the would. Yet
the cities and towns and village merchants howl like banshees when
the farmers puriohaso their good® abrbadl isn’t It time that Cham
bers of Commerce and such bodies camo down from the perch of
nonsensical hifilutanism and' see to it that they played the game
along) with the farmers whose trade they advertise so vigorously to
secure? .Surely the- hour has struck for cities to really wake up
on such practical matter®. Farmers can’ do with less city "advice"
and with a .considerable sight more sincere, brass-tacks co-operation.
Farmers wear good, spectacles these days and take their
caps With them when they visit the city and town.
