CORN SYRUP,
TAXES
We don't know of any community
an which taxes are not considered
high by those who have to pay them,
^vlany places the taxes are materially
higher than a few years ago, We
can’t help coming back to the belief
we have long cherished that sooner
or later we will have to find more
equitable ways of raising money with
which to run our various municipal
governments.
The real estate property tax was
adopted in America in the pioneer
days when there wasn’t anything else
much to tax except land. We like
the English system much better.
There property is taxed on the basis
of what it earns — the income tax
carried down to the income of every
body who owns a piece of property
that is rented, Of course, there are
other taxes, but they do not consti
tute a lien on real property.
Property taxes can’t go much high
er in most places without stirring up
great discontent against the present
system.

OUR RAILWAY PROBLEM
Probably the greatest problem that
confronts our Government, besides
unemployment, is the question of our
railways. All realize that each year
the people are paying huge deficits
for the Canadian National system.
Often one hears the marks that the
weight of debt of our government-
owned railways, will, if not corrected,
bankrupt the co-untry. We must plead
ignorance as to whether, this state
ment is correct or not. However,
most of us realize that the millions
that this system is costing the coun
try constitutes a very serious
lcm,
The Senate is setting up a
mittee to look into this matter, oth
ers have done it before, but what is
needed is action, some means..of co
operation that will reduce this bur
den on the people of our country.
We believe that it is an accepted
fact that we have more railway lines
than are necessary. To overcome this
handicap the most careful business ad
ministration is necessary as well as!
close co-operation between the two
systems. If the Senate committe can
devise some method of easing this
railway burden they will have to
some extent justified their existence.

A disastrous early' morning fire

was done to the building, but the

J, J. O’Connor, of Meaford, died in
the Oyven Sound hospital last week
as a result of a terrible- scalding re-

water used for removing ice from logs
at the McArthur planing mill. Work
ers at the .mill said O’Connor came
to the mill to get a load of sawdust.

Clinton’s Oldest Industry Closed
Pair’s mill, the oldest established

has ground bread flour. For several
years after being built a distillery
was operated along with the milling
of flour. Oldest residents of Clinton
and vicinity can recall seeing the huge
distillery vats and a keg of whiskey
with a tin dipor handy, where farm
ers bringing wheat and barley to the
mill might help themselves.
