WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING
YOLK TAX 1'OiR W OMBN
The proposal made by the council
of the city of Kitchener that wom-
en receiving $100 a year or over be
taxed has received the endorsation
of at least two other councils, while
at least one council turned the pro-
posal down flat.
We could not agree, to theplacing.
of a tax on either men or women
who receive but $100 a year, but we
always have been in favor of a poll
tax for women meaning of - course
single women who are working and
are earning a
fair wage,
Why should discrimination be
shown in regard poll tax? No one
seems to know. Apparently the non-
taxing of single women is "fust one
of those things."
The spinsters enjoy the same
privileges accorded the men—why
should they not be expected to help
pay their share toward those privi-
leges. It is time the single men
woke up and demanded that their
bachelor sisters help pay toward the
Bost of government.

THE SMALL TOWN
(The Financial Post)
Publicist Roger Brown got his
name spread across the newspapers.
of the continent the other day by
advising university graduates not to
get married hastily but to get a job
in a small town and to put their
savings into a small farm. "Your
real hope," he said. "is getting a
small business of your own. Try to
get a job in a small town."
Hemy Ford is equally enthusiast-
ic about the small town as a place
to work and live. His spokesman,
W. J. Cameron, made some pertinent
remarks about the matter not many
weeks ago. "Nowadays," he said,
"no one need go to the city for a
career. Big things can be done in,
smaller places. Towns and villages
are even coming to be preferred for
many types of enterprise."
The small town has always been a
good place to live. Today, any dis-
advantages it may have had as to
distance or isolation have disappear-
ed. Traditional qualities of friend-
liness, freedom and fresh air have
been enhanced by most of the am-
enities of "city" life.
• NOT A FAVORABLE RECORD
Canada's national account has
shown a deficit in the past eight
years, and the Minister of 'Finance.
forecasts another deficit for the cur-
rent year.
Not since 1930 has Canada balanc-
ed its budget. In the four years
previous to that, there were sur-
pluses totalling $211.8 trillions, being
$41.9 in 1927, then $50.9, $'71,3 and
$47.7. The yearly average would
show a surplus of about $54 million,
available to reduce taxes or to reduce
the debt.
Then the full effects of the de-
pression in,and the next set four
years showed deficits of $88.9, $114.2,
$220.6 and $183.4, a total of $452
million and a yearly average of $118
million. We were going backward
twice as fast as we went forward in
the great days up to 1929,
The last four years have been
somewhat better, the deficits since
1935 being $116,1, $159.9,' $77.9 and
now $13.8 million. This is a total
of '$367.7, and 'the: yearly average
Was about $92 million.
The figures speak for themselves.;
In a year of unprecedented pros -I.
perity, such as we enjoyed in 1929,'
we had a surplus of $71.3 trillion. In'
a year of unprecedented depression,.
such as. 1933, we had a deficit of
$220.6 million.
It takes three good year, to make
up for one bad one.
In four prosperous years, we had
a surplus of $211, but in the next
eight years of depression we went
over $820 million "in the red."

A letter receivedby the editor the

Kamloops, E.C. recalls Lynn Gord-

Lynn writes:
"Just a week ago I was on a trip

SETTLING THE EMPIRE
That staid old body, but the most
progressive body in all the world,
the British parliament, has a project
before it of supreme importance,
that of settling the Empire. That
term "settling" sounds good and the
effort smacks of the very thing. For
a decade or more, in fact even since
the opening of the present century,
the world has been doing anything
but settling and its failure to do so
has resulted in untold harm. The
Empire has lost immensely in blood
and treasure 'by its failure to ob-
serve this principle. Business, every-
where, is in its present mess because
it has been following all sorts of
will-o'-the'wisps. The church is in
her unhappy plight because she has
been scenting about for some new
thing. Youth is flaming because it
has not got down to brass tacks and
stayed right there. Industry instead
of pegging away at things it could
accomplish, has been nosing after
projects it was not prepared for. We
have had about enough of wild ex-
perimenting. Democracy has run
mad. A little nonsense is all very
well, but when ,it becomes the pre-
vailing practice of men everywhere,
its time for wise folk to assert them-
selves. Whether we like it or not,
it's high time for the world to set-
tle down a bit. ' Common sense and
brain -sweat and elbow efease will
work wonders for those who use
them. They never fail,

Curtain: Raiser
By Vaughan Dryden
Nobody ever knew whence "Tof-
fee" Hines got his peculiar nick-
name; and nobody ever asked. Tof-
fee
hada dislike for people who ask-
ed questions which he deemed taking
a liberty. This dislike may have come
from his contacts with the police;
for it is wellknown that they have
a habit of asking questions in con-
nection with missing goods, espec-
ially jewellery;: which it may be dif-'
ficult for an innocent man to answer,!
And Toffee always was innocent; hel
said so himself.
Along with 'the police,' and takers
of liberties,' the blameless man dis-,
liked the variety profession. This
dated from an unhappy experience of)
his much earlier days, when he lived
in Kensington, 1
On a Sunday night Toffee would
take a stroll, weather permitting, I
along the leafy Brixton Road, until
he came to a large pub, of which
the saloon -bar would be crowded with
members of the music -hall profes-
sion. It is well known that Sunday;
evening is reunion time with variety'
people, when they meet and over a
social drink discuss the events of the'

ley acts, ventriloquists, trick -cyclists,
sketch-teams—fill the chairs and
gather round the little tables, and'
stand in serried ranks along the
counters. At least, so it was in thel
days when Toffee had his disastrous'
encounter with the Child Wonder.
Toffee was not particularly inter-
ested in pros. as such. He was, how-
ever, much occupied with a well- l
known habit of the women perform
ers, who used to invest a good deal'
of their earnings in rings, brooches,1
pendants, bangles and other artic-
les of the same kind, which they,
wore constantly and not occasional-
ly. In itself, this was a gine adver-
tisement sneaking to agents, man-
agers and "brother and sister art-
ists" of long contracts and higher
salaries.
The custom was also useful when
dates were few on the tree. Then
money could be raised on some .val-
uable article, tiding the artists over
until the signing of a new contract.
Hence a display of costly jewels was
not due to mere ostentation, or even
a love of pretty things.
Dazzling Temptation
Toffee took a business -like inter-
est in this custom of the dashing
series and charming vocalists; and
during his visits to the professional
house of call had singled out a Miss
Adele Rion for attention. Her bil-
lowybosom wasplastered p este d with all
kinds of brooches and her fingers
stiff with rings, while half -a -dozen
diamond bracelets jingled on her
plump wrists. Under the many _ el-
ectric lights on .a Sunday evening
she was a dazzling sight.
One of his scouts had reported
that' Miss Roze was a widow, Her
husbandhad been Walter, of the
er's arms. Miss Roze hugged her
offspring "passionately, whispering
some words into her tiny ear be-
neath the golden curls, Then Baby,
Winnie danced out of 'the room, with
a final wave of the hand to Toffee,
who was profoundly thankful that the
interlude was all over,
Miss Roze turned to her, unwel-
