The Goderich Board of Trade has
issued a. publication called 'The Catad-
en Gate" to arouse interest in :h un-
iform rate for Hydro Electric Pone
to the municipalities of Ontario. Zany
arguments are „given in favor of their
contention,
f
's that the c
which rates .or
�. ,
light and power should be the skme
all over the pravinee.
The Walkertoa Telescope says that
while they are.paying $22 for real an
that town, the people of Durham, a
near by place, buy for $16.50, and
• when ono dealer tried to get $20
a ton the local authorities made him
hand back $3 a ;tea. Undoubtedly
coal varies in pr pe to the dealer, and
it is hard to say what is a 'fair price;
we
All can say is that Durham folks
who claim they are getting good coal
are ie luck.
Buy i!n the stores that invite you
to buy through the Advocate. Your
business is ,surely worth ask;ng ler,

The Ontario Legislature is consid-
ering the increase in membership from
III to 1155; that ,Ottawa and fiamil-
tm-t he gieen, three members each, to
be elected as a whole under the sin-
gle transferable vote system of pro-
portional represe`:enien; that certain
counties are to comlt're to vote for
several members as a try -aut. Just
what "single transferable vote sys-
tem o: proportional representation"
means we are at a loss to know. It is
doubtful whether oat (tut of ahundred
understands tiwlhai it means. Candidly,
we do not. There is a goad subject
for debate, boys.
ARE YOU A MANUFACTURER.
If so do not delay finding outif
your manufactured articles are those
that come under' the Dominion Manu-
facturers and Sales Tax Act. Sever -
a1 :lien in town have just lately found
out that they must make out returns
for the past few months, or be liable
to trouble. It is a troublesome busi-
ness, hut who war must be paid for.
PRICES CRASH,
Nealy all along the line prices of
farm produce, groceries, clothing, etc„
are dropping very :Cast, sometimes so
rapidly that heavy losses are sustained,
Sugar prices were about the first to
fall egad ;millions were lost by the bis,
owners, to say nothing of the loss
to the sugar beet growers through-
out the country. However, sugar is
still a .good price. The big city stores
are cutting clothing prices nearly in;
half -on tate idea that the tirst loss is
beet. `Hardware, paper and building
materials seem ata be holding up, and.
even advancing an peace lin some 'aces.

The better the stores, the bigger the
town; the bigger the ,town. the more
people to buy produce, and the better
for ,the farmer who lives nearThe
toa n -and the more valuable his farm.
It would be a disaster indeed, were
buyers to go on a (strike just now.
Business, must be kept going. Trade
and industry .must be active to ensure
prosperity. The manufacturer and
the
t merchant should take alittle Fess
profit, the workmen, a little less wage,
in order that all may assist an, getting
conditions bank to normal
The manufacturers appear to be un-
animous in the opinion that the coun-
try is on the threshhold of acommer-
cial depression, that the bubble of
prosperity is about to burst. All who
have situations are advised to hold to
them as long as t°Eey last, Those who
are new out of work should make it
a point to get something to do if this
is at all possible.
The removal of "Government con-
trol" of Victory Loan. and War Bonds
(leis .not affect the loalding value of
these bands, but it,d es affect the
selling or buying value. They are now
selling below recent prices, but do not
forget that the security is as good as
ever '
was, d
an on maturity they will
be payable at par. It is a good time
to hold what you have and if possible
to buy more,
The wise mangy will,get his hotase, en
order before the hard times arrive,
Signs of a t ime of stress have been
apparent for ,a ]long time and e•-
cha�nts,_and others have been trimming
their sails to. 'meet it. The great re-
adjustment has already begun. It i,
to be hoped that it' will be gradual
atel 'that the transition peribd be-
tween false standards and rock -bot-
tom values the least hardship possible
will beexperienced-Exchaange.
City papers aretelling theirreaders
about the great riches the farmers are
gathering in This year. But they for-
get to say that these returns have been
rade possible only by the toil of his
whole family, The faimiiy on a pros-
perous farm do mare hours of hard
work week days and Sundays in three
months than the members of a well -to -
de city family do lin a year. Any
prosperity that ,comes to -the farmer
is well ,earned, If the working hours
on the farm wiera as few as they are
in the city, starvatt{:aaa and :famine
would soon be the result...
"Speaking of a general election re-
vives .th,c rumor that there will be a
re -distribution 'bill,;before the govern-
ment goers to the country. It is to be
along lines of representation by ,popu-
lation. That -wars: once a very popu lar
cry in Canada -Rep. by Pop. That
was in the days when ;the rural 'dis-
tricts were more thickly settled than
the urban centres. Rep. by Pop. now
promises eta (bet a popular move, a. it
would offset the U.F.O. movement. If
it ,comes about at;o one will be tot blame
but the U,F.O., which ,shuts out all
but .farmers from its councils. True
it has allied etseer in the local house
with labor, butthe alliance is some-
what weak and a break would place
Premier Drury at the mercy of the
old time parties,. Premier Meighen
some politician and if Rep. by Pop.
would save ,his :government, then we
may look for a re -distribution along
those lines." -Kincardine Reporter,
