Local grocers were apprised Monday morning that sugar was up 12 cents per hundred pounds on account of the in- crease in freight rates and other comm odities would be proportionately dearer. Only in a few instances will the retail price be effected to amount to any- thing. Squirrels Have a Friend. The squirrels are safe Isere and else- where in the province at least until t923. An order, province -wide, has been issued that prohibits the shooting of squirrels. This is contrary to the opinion of local sportsmen who have been taking it for granted that this is the open season for squirrels. The Child Driver. Anyone who handled a fifteen year old girl a loaded revolver and told her to leave it in a crowd would be regard- ed as viciously and criminally reckless of human life. Yet parents will permit a boy or girl to drive a motor car upon a public highway and thing nothing of the fact that they are risking lives right and left and incidentally, violating a law designed to afford protection to ri C users of the public streets. Failing off in Number be of Registered istered Letters. Since cost of registering a letter has advanced from 5 cents to 10 cents there has been a noticeable falling off in the number of letters registered. Thousands of dollars in actual money it is stated is passing through the mails daily without registration protection, This 'n prance o theincrease, s w,s rani before 1 gas aP but there has been a narked increase since, People are risking loss of money rather than pay the additional 5 cents to have it protected. The revenue from registered mail on the 10 cent basis will greatly exceed the revenue when the fee was 5 cents. Tax Evaders. The customs and inland revenue de- partment is taking steps to guard against evasions of the new budget tax- es. While the revenue is coming in hea- vily there are reasons to believe that some are making returns which are in- complete Others are not making returns at all. To sleet this situation a special corps of expert auditors will be appoint ed within a few days and given exten- sive powers. There will be about forty int, all throughout the country and it will be their business to carry on investigat- ions supplementary to the regular staffs in the various districts. "Busy Bee" Well Named. The Manchester Guardian quotes ex- perts as saying that this is to be a good season for honey and it adds that many people will welcome the news though few realize the enormous effort a single pound of honey necessitates on the part of the bees. "In a pound Jar," the Guardian explains, "there is the conceit trated essence of over 60,000 flowers. It is calculated that to make a pound of clover honey the bees must take nectar froln 62,000 blooms and slake 2,750,- 000 visits In the process. Often tate journey fent the hive t the flowers and back runs to two utiles so that the *taking of a pound of looney entails Jour Heys agregating over 5,000,000 miles, When it is remembered that a single colony of bees will produce from sixty to eighty pounds of honey in a season' it is clear that tine "busy bee" is well unwed." Price Of Newsprint May AdvanceAgain. Another advance in the price of news print to the Financial News Bureau, which states that an increase in the price is expected to be made by the mills around the first of October. The understanding is that the new price will range from $130 to $140 per ton for rolled news and $20 in advance of. these prices per ton for sheets in two ton lots and at the mill, 13y January 19 21, the prospects are that newspaper publishers wiiI be paying as high h as $200 per ton and it is even possible that this figure will have to be raised fait: '50 s(1 �.iP, a le:' to atielet hen 115055 to '117xiit 400 psi' 1.0.11 u, f..nr ,fug,- le 1°)(i7 ii.o pn�q lFoy t tun. o61.5e This lose t u, llin first half of 1918 and to $81 In the sec- ond half.

The Census Department upon the basis of the average increases in popula Hon in the past 20 years estimates the number of the country's inhabitants at about eight and (11ree-quarter millions. That method of computation however, is not considered infallible particularly with respect to the Western Provinces. At the last quinquenial census of the Prairie Provinces Saskatchewan showed an Increase much greater than the nor- mal or than had been estimated by the Census Department, Rates Increase Judgment Was Written by Chairman F. B. Carvell and Asserted to by Four Commissioners — Gives Reason for Keep- ing C. P. R. Reserve Fund Intact. Ottawa Sept. 8.— The reasons which induced the Dominion Board of Railway Commissioners to authorize Canadian roads to slake thelarge increases in Iran sportation rates announced yesterday are set forth in the formal judgment made public this afternoon. That docu- ment was prepared by Hon F. 13. Car- vell, the chief commissioner, and was assented to by Commissioners McLean Goddeve, Rutherford and Mantel. The board has sanctioned as already announced increases in freight rates to tine amount of 40 per cent in Eastern Canada and 35 per cent in Western Canada until Dec. 3t when the per- centage over present charges is to be reduced to 35 per cent in the east and 30 per cent west of the.'Great Lakes. It has granted increases of 20 per cent in rates until Dec. 31 passenger , and 10 per cent from that date until June 30, 1921 when the fares now effective are to be restored, it has allowed 50 per cent increase in sleeping and parlor car charges and 20 per cent increase in ex- cess baggage charges. It has permitted no increase in rates on milk crushed stone sand and gravel, required for highway construction and has limited the increase in switching charges asked by the railways. 1 I• y, r r a v 6 1 ar+ f,Lrntt nt, P a40e'•e 44 •44.440444.4000464.14vE e6h0iS ;194 ✓4J,ra14 3 o • 9 degi;.. „etthei 4015 Chatrraa.

Would Keep C. P. R. Intact. The chairman of the board is unable to agree with G. R. Geary, K. C. of Tor onto and other counsel who contended that no increase in rates by the Canad- ian Pacific Railway should be permitted while that company possessed a Targe reserve fund which might be drawn up- on - on for the payment of dividends. "It would be only a question of time," he says "when this company would find itself in the position of the Grand Trunb and Canadian Northern systems," He considers it a national necessity that the Canadian Pacific Railway at least should be kept in a healthy financial condition, with the hope that as a re- sult the other great railway system Education and Farm Im- provement.

Trope that by wise and prud- ent operation it may within a reasonable time reach a position of independence. Mr. Carvell differentiates between the Bast and West in dealing with freight rates, because he conchliles that present rates in the Western Provinces are from 15 to (8 per cent higher than those east of the Great Lakes. Except in the case of transcontinental comm- odity rates the percentages of increase east and west of the Great Lakes will apply to the east and. west factors of through rates. The Increase in rates now granted is the third since early in 1918. In that year an increase of 15 per cent in fret ght rates was allowed. Later in the same year a further increase of 25 per cent. was authorized in Eastern Canada. In Western Canada the earlier increase of 15 per cent in freight rates was allowed. Later in the same year a further in- crease of 25 per cent was authoriged in Eastern Canada. In Western Canada the earlier increase of 15 per cent was rescinded and an increase of 25 per cent substituted therefor, In the present case the railways asked an increase of 40 per cent in freight rates 20 per cent in passenger fares 50 per cent in sleep- ing and parlor car fares 40 per cent in rates on milk 20 per cent in excess bag gage charges 40 per cent in switching charges. Cost To Public What the granting of these proposed additions to rates would cost the public was variusly estimated at the hearing of the rates case. Some counsel at the in- quiry placed the amount at $160,000,- 000 P. J. Symington, representing Man- itoba said $214,000,000. Other interests foresaw a still larger cost to the public The chairman of the board himself on the bais of 1 920 figures estimates motes the additional revenue which would be earn n ed by the Canadian Pacific alone in 19- 21 as a result of the increases sought at $46,720,000. Details of Judgement "1 realizeCarvell in the Slid says Mr,C gment that these rates will be a sub- stantial burden upon the people of Can butt oda, it was admitted by all parties at the hearing that the cost of every- thing entering into the operation and maintenance of railways has increased more than too per cent in the last four years while the railway companies have been ,granted increases in what are known as the 15 per cent and 25 per cent cases amounting on all average to not more than 35 per cent." The judgment lays emphasis upon the fact that a large proportion of the increase granted will be taken up in meeting the increased wages which em- ployes of Canadian railways will receive when the Chicago wage -award schedule goes in to effect in 'Canada. "At the hearing," it says, "Mr, I.lo- ward G. Kelley, speaking for the Rail- way Association of Canada Aired that they had decided to pay the railway em ployes the rates granted by the Chicago award granting back pay to the first clay May ,last and on cross-examination he frankly admitted that if they were not granted he firmly believed there would be a general strike throughout Canada. Realizing as '1 do the sincerity of itis statement and the terrible results which would necessarily befall the people of this country as a whole under such a contingency 1 have taken his statement into consideration in adjustin the rates herein, It roust not be forgott en that a very large part of the increase hereby granted will be necessary to take care of this increased wage in the case of the Canadian Pacific Railway Com- pany alone, amounting to nearly $22, 000,000 per year." Statements Showing operating Costs. The judgment states that the rail- way during the hearing of the applicat- ion filed statements showing their fin- ancial conditions for some years past. Though all showed substantial increases in business operating ratios (Hlenumber of cents which a railway must expend in order to earn one dollar) showed that in practically I ail cases vith thee ex- ceptin of the C. P. R. it was costing as much of more to operate them than the Were receiving, Y v ng, The Statement of the C. P.

According to estimates filed with the board the result for 1920 on tutee Can- adian Northern if increased wages were granted and no increase was made In traffic rates would be an operating ratio of 134.23. The chief commissioner states that lir. McMaster counsel for the Canadian Manufacturers Association contended at the hearing that the rates should be so adjusted that the Canadian Pacific Railway would be able to pay its divid- ends without drawing ale ng on its reserve. Mr. Symington counsel for the Province of Manitoba, "was not quite so gener- ous," and Mr. Coyne, representing the Amalgamated Boards of Trade of the three Prairie Provinces advised drawing upon the reserves of the railway if sec essary for the payment of dividends.
