Like J. P. Morgan, Mr. Otto H.
Kahn did not pay income taxes in
the past three years. He got ^out of
it by selling stock to his daughter,
registering the loss in his return,
and then buying it back. Charles
Mitchell worked the same game by
selling to his wife. How do wealthy
bachelors work it?

Like Mr. Morgan, too, Kahn paid
British income taxes in those years,
but there, as in Canada, the law is
not framed to permit evasion. It
was known all along that such sales
were being made by wealthy men in
the United States to avoid income
taxes. We have during the past
three years seen frequent references
to the practice, in the newspaprs.
Nothing was done to stop it.

Why should patience have to go
without a complimentary adjective
while indignation is ever righteous?
I•t is easy to give vent to indigation,
whereas it 'often requires self con-

hath its victories not less renowned
than indignation—and quite as much
as righteousness.

President Roosevelt now asserts
that world recovery can best be gain-
ed by each nation bringing about its
own domestic recovery'. Some time
or .other he has said the very oppos-
ite, as other sagacious men have,
viz. that our present condition has
been brought about by each nation
trying to live within itself, forget-
ting that it is but a part of one
stupendous whole. The entire body
is ailing because the circulation et
the blood has been obstructed by each
member, the blood in this case being
world =amerce. Now he thinks the
disease can be cured by .the same
thing that caused it. We fear that
this new discovery of his is due to
the difficulty he is experiencing in
directing U.S. procedure at London
by proxy and long distance.

ADEQUATE REWARDS FOR
TEACHERS
.Egerton Ryerson, the founder of
Ontario's school system, realized the
importance of attracting to the teach-
ing profession the most capable men
and women of the community. In
his farewell ' letter to the :'Ontario
Educational Association in 1876 he
said: "In devising a system of public
instruction for our country, the first
thing needful was to exalt the office
of the teacher. To do this two things
were necessary, first to elevate the
qualifications and character .of tea-
chers; secondly, to provide better and
more certain remuneration for their
services." At the present time there
is a tendency to offer teachers a sal-
ary that does not compensate them
for the outlay and time spent in
qualifying them for their voeation.
The result is likely to be that owing
to inadequate remuneration the pro-
fession is not likely to attract the
ambitious and the best which will be
detrimental to the pn its of the fut-
ure. We cannot hold too high the
function of a teacher in the life ,of a
nation. To its army of elementary
teachers the nation owes more than
to any other class of the community.

FITTING DOMINION DAY
CELEBRATION
The Free Press commented recent-
ly on a growing inclination to regard
Dominion Day as just another holi-
day. There is no attempt in London
or any place in Western Ontario, as
far as we are aware, to emphasize
the character or the significance of
July 1. The London Canadian Club
for a number of years madea ser-
ious effort to hold a Dominion Day
celebration at which speeches were
made onthehistory and meaning of
our national holiday.o. However, it
met with such half-hearted support
from the general public that the plan
was dropped.
Edmonton is one city which has an.
annual celebration of unusual impor-
tance. In addition to sports and the
usual merrymaking, engraved natur-
alization papers were presented to
all citizens who had been naturalized
during the year. In the course of the
presentation, they were.reminded of
their duties as well as their privi-
leges which citizenship involves.
There is no more fitting day for such
a ceremony. Here is an idea for a
celebration of Dominion Day in Lon-
don. London Free Press.

TROPICAL VALLEY ATTRACTS
NATURALIST
En route to the famed Tropical
Valley in northern British Columbia,
Mrs. Mary G. Henry, wife of Dr.
Norman Henry, Commissioner of
Health for the city of Philadelphia,
accompanied by her son H. G. hen-
ry, left recently over Canadian Na-
tional Railways for Hudson Hopes
from which point the long overland
journey into the mystery valley will
begin. This is Mrs. Henry's third
trip into this comparatively little
known area where she has made
previous visits to collect botanical
and entomological specimens for the
Academy of Natural Sciences, Phil-
adelphia. Mrs. Henry, who is well
known for her interest in horticul-
ture, is a contributing editor of the
National Horticultural Magazine and
has related the stories of her discov-
eries made during earlier visits in
book form.

STAGE CELEBRATION
Descendants iof Loyalists who,

of
ectionof New Brunswick between 1783 and'
1790 held a celebration on Canada's
birthday, July 1st. Records show
that twenty four of the Loyalists
from the revolting- colonies of the
United States came to the Hammond'
River section and took up lands be-
tween the years stated. Just re-
cently the 160th anniversary of the
landing of the Loyalists in New •
Brunswick was celebrated with ela-

GODERIOH: At a recent meeting
of the town council Councillor E. D.
Brown expressed the opinion that
there should be no charge made by
the P. U. C. for lawn service. The
citizess take pride in keeping lawns
and gardens beautiful, and he was
strongiiy of the opinion that the pay-
ment was unfair, and the following
motion was endorsed: "That this
council considers the charge for
lawn water service by the P. U. C.
is unreasonable and penalizes the
good citizen who is endeavoring to
keep his property a credit to the
town. We therefore recommend the
W. L. and H. cons. to present our
views to the commission."

Which Stores
Do You Like
Best?
An Advertisement
Addressed to the
.Readers of this
Newspaper
Isn't it true that stores which invite your custom
oftenest, and which give you most information about
their offerings, are those to which you go by preference?
Isn't it true that silent or dumb stores—stores
which never tell you that your custom is wanted and
valued, and which never send you information about
their stocks and prices, are less favored by you than are
stores which inform you, by advertisements in this
newspaper, about themselves, their stocks, their prices?
Isn't it true that you want,before you go shopping,
information' about goods of desire, which are obtainable
locally, and about where they can be obtained?
Always remember
that the stores which
serve you best are
those which tell you
most.
The fact is that advertisements are a form or kind
of news, and careful buyers want the kind of news
which sellers provide just as much as they want the
news which it is the business of this newspaper to pro-
vide.
It is advantageous to you, regarded as a purchaser,
to be "advertisement conscious," meaning to be obser-
vant of advertisements, and to be readers of them when
seen in magazines, farm papers and in your local
newspaper.
The reading of the advertisements appearing in
thisnewspaper week by week not only will save you
time, by telling you what and where to buy; +but also
they will direct you to "all alive" stores, providing
goods which have been carefully selected and competi-
tively priced.
