EMPIRE NOT AT STALE
Provincial Governmeat plies up debt
from year to year, the average coun-
ty council considers It almost a crime
to Issue debentures; the "pay ae you go"
principle is generally tavored in coao-
ty affairs. While the county council
will go to almost any length to av
an addition to the tax rate, the Pro-
s -lace is continually adding urw taxes
and seldom abandons an old one.
Thea tbere is the question ?test
We Dave heard for yearn
the complaint that governmental
Dona In this Province are centralised
to too great an extent at Toronto.
Only recently the Provinetal Govern-
ment took over the appointment of
public school inspectors, an appoint-
ment which previously had been In the
hands of the county councils, and this
la only one sample of the centraltsa-
tloa policy of the Provincial Govern-
ment.
It there is to be any readjustment
In such matters. decentralisation
should be the aim. And as for econ-
omy, the end would be reached more
rarely by abolishing the Provincial
Government and handing over its
tunetione to the county councils
throughout the Province.
t'auadians are watching with In-
terest the election campaign In Great
Britain, but there is no reason to tear
the outcome, no matter which tarty
may wen. A lot of nonsense le spread
on paper about the "fate of the Em-
pire," as It some danger threatened the
existence of the old British Empire

it anything cataclysmic were to pros-

between the so-called National Govern-
ment and the Labor Opposition is that
which has to do with Mr. Snowden's
efforts to balance the Midget. These
efforts involved the reduction of pay-
ments for unemployment insurance,
criminality termed "the_ dole," to which
redncttou the Labor party offers atren-
nous objection. At this distance we
