If ever. you would cilive.oks H t."Bear Ye One Another's Burdens'' 'Tis an old saying --sometimes a hard one—but worthy of all acceptation. • Take a present-day illustration. British Columbia --out there under the setting Dun --1e helping. to heal Ontario's burdens. She has sent to the front—that shill -torn front in France» -a larger proportion of her manhood' than has Ontario. Therefore it comes to pass that we in Ontario are being asked to'heip in bearing British Columbia's burden by Helping its soldiers' families. It's a fair, a just, request, We all are in the same boat. We must bear one another' burdens. Andif one Province, not rich in money, makes heavy calls on the Patriotic Fund, the richer Provinces smut help out their poorer neighbor. Under a plan of each Province caring only for its own, the Province sendin$natmen would spend no money. It would neither Fight nor Pay. . • Qntario will need about six million dollars in 1917 for the fatnllies of its owtn.soldiers. The Canadian Patriotic Fundis asking for that sum as a minimum below which the richest Province in the Dominion will not go. But, as a • matter of fact, the Fund hopes Ontario will do still better=will bear another's burdens by helping out gallant British Columbia. How stands the Western Province? It will require, in 1917, two million dollars for the families of its boys at the front. That is one-third of Ontario's requirements. But Ontario has probably more than seven times the population. British Columbia asks no favors. With only about 350,000 peogle—,not rich in this world's goods, but rich itt pluck and powered blood -..it is undertaking to raise One 1Vfillion Dollars for the Canadian Patriotic Fund! That equals $2,86 per head. Ontario, if it raise sitz million; will be giving about $2.38 per head. But the Western Province will still be short One Million Defiers. Where is this rum to come from? Eastern Canada. And Ontario, if it wishes to help, can do so only to the extent to which its gifts to the Fund exceed Sig Million Dollars. A lot of motley, isn't it? Yet less than British Columbia is giving, if measured on a per capita basis; and 10' 1ess if measured by ability to pay. There will beim difficulty in securing the Cix r,a .i .:a if three coulees are followed} `hree • 1. If all County Councils make reasonably large grants to the national Fund. , 2. If all towns, whether separated from their counties or not, will undertake campaigns for Course voluntary subscriptions,. S 3: If all citizens, in town or Country, contribute fairly according to their meant. rant: For alar ei increase its e` well. S'mc c has decided t '1 are beginning 1 t ogreet; die to No. 1.

The majority of the County Councils will decide at the January sessions how large their grants will be. Public opinion will have great influence on the Councils. Bvery'county ratepayer, sympathetic towards the Fund, should write or speak to his re;:resentative on the Council, endorsing a liberal grant. ''The small tax of three mills on the dollar raises a sum that constitutes a handsome con- tribution.._ • .. At to No. 2. Many toss -ns ignore the duty of holding cantpeigns. This armies patticsilerly to towns which pay *county tax. Yetthis tea never represents a fair or just contribution to the ri'r ri from i men of moderate or large omens. Prai:tically it is based nit what the Jrooret' inert cart afford. The richer shot! -1 nL'e much more, and they can be reached only through, a popular campaign. To relieve anxiety these campaigns •a'sould be held- in January or Irsbruary. Will not patriotic men and worsen in every town take up this duty? The.; can get all information as to organisation and methods by writing to the Canadiat Patriotic Fund, Ottawa. And the Fund will assist than also with a campaign of advertising. As to NO, 3.
