`AIM SPORE OF elITAI!.3TY
All of us cannot fight. All of us—men, women and children—can do something towards winning the war.
Are we seeking that "something," or are we evading it? Are we looking for the "bit" we should do, or trying
to forget it?
Take the Canadian Patriotic Fund. It
has been created to care for the families of our
soldiers in those cases—and those only—where
need exists. Experience has shown that this
means in two families out of three. Up to
December 1, 1916, the people of Canada have
given $16,500,000 to the Fund.
That is generous giving, isn't it? But
the country is still at war; our armies are still
growing; the soldiers' families are still in need;
the Fund still must be maintained. Anti what
do we find: in every part of the country men
crying that they have given enough to the
Fund, --that Government should now take the
le'afden.
Given enough! When the Canadian
lad in the trenches is dead -tired, ready to drop
in his tracks, does he chuck his job, declare lee
has given enough, and call on Government to
get another man? Given enough! Is there a
man in Canada has given enough if women and
children 'are in need while he, the stay-at-
home, has a dollar to spare?
Not This Fund, above all funds; has
a claim on every citizen who is not himself a
pauper. The fact that, Government has not
assumed responsibility for it is the fact that
makes every man responsible for it—even if
he thinks the Fund should be maintained by
(Government moneys.
Fere YOU helping to insure this home against iiee .
GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT CONTROL, BECAUSE -
1. Government would have to treat all alike. The Fund helps only those in need. If Government paid the
families of each soldier the average sum paid by the Fund the extra burden an the country would be between eight
and nine million dollars yearly. —"
2. By paying the average sum those families in districts where cost of living is low would receive more than
they need; those in high-cost areae would be paid too little.
3. Costs of administration would be enormoualy increased. This work is now done, for the most part;' by
willing workers without cost. Of every hundred dollars subscribed, Ninety-nine Dollars and Forty-six Cents go to the
farniliesi Never was a voluntary fund so economically administered.
4. The Work would suffer. There would be no more of the friendly, almost paternal, relation now existing
between the administrators of the Fund and the families. Government works automatically. The Fund's visitors
are friends in need, therefore friends indeed.
5.• Taxation would be unequal, for some counties and some provinces are already taxing their people for this '
Fund. Are they to be taxed again by the Federal authority?
6. The richer classes would be relieved of work they are cheerfully doing. They are now bearing, and bearing
because they have the financial power and the patriotic willingness, the larger share of the burden. Why take from
them this tgivepoor?
T a Fund blesses him that gives. It is a vehicle for public spirit ---a channel for patriotic .endeavor. The
work of administering it has uncovered unknown reservoirs of unselfishness and sacrifice. Men and women have
thrown themselves into this work because they found in it the "bit" for which they looked -•their contribution to
winning the war. Why stay their hand and stifle their enthusiasm?
8, Last, but not least: Government control means raising the Money by sealing Government bonds. Govern-
ment bonds mean future taxation. And that means that the returning soldiers will pay, through long years, a large
*hare of the cost of caring for their families—a cost we, the stay-at-homes, pledged ourselves to bear.
`THEN AND WOMEN OF ONTARIO:
Bend your backs once again to this burden. If you live in the rural districts see to it that your eounty const Ila
make grants worthy of the counties and of the cause. If in the towns, start campaigns for individual subscriptions.
And personally; taxed or not taxed, give es you can afford, give as your conscience fells you is your duty, your war
