THE SEAFORTH NEWS Mr. Hepburn Must Be Surprised. Never Heard a Squawk Before The provincial government's plan to have municipal councils elected to at least two years, with a further year -by -year extension of this tern for the duration or the war, has aroused opposition in the press throughout Ontario, - Disapproval of the edict contains In0re than a lint that it is feared a mild form of dictatorship is being im- posed upon the taxpayers, for these phrases are frequently used, "borders on dictatorship,' "suspension of civic' election rights," another privilege gone." "ft is plain autocrat ' "un- warranted interference,'' "smacks of do tltorship." "not a democratic pro- posal, "dictatorship at hone is no more tolerable than dictatorship in Europe." "spending money like drunken sailors." Queens Park is vigorously urged to revoke the order. Mr. Hepburn is 00- C t war e, n iQ on the l e ) seizing P se of nu d 1 Situation as an excuse to advance pet scheme. This 1,1.111(10111 mast come as a dis- tinct shock to Mr. Hepburn. At tate past mann' manifestations of his loan hugs towards dictatorship have stet with a certain tolerance, if not out- right applause. A case in point are the service clubs, Since Mr. Hepburn came into power the did was taken off the wide- spread sale of tickets for draws stag- ed by these service chubs It has got so that scarcely it day goes by all summer without at least one ticket salesman making the rounds, often strangers, sometimes from towns fif- ty and a hundred miles away, Has Mr. Hepburn done anything to regulate these people. And more im- portant, has the public even so much as asked him to do anything? The point is, these .service clubs are collecting an undisclosed amount from the citizens of Ontario to do work that is virtually a government work. In fact it. is understood the taxpayers through the government actually pay two-thirds of the cost of t "stain of this wort( that the chubs take full credit for doing. These clubs have never published how 111nc'h their gross proceeds are - or their expenses hi connection with raising funds. nor have they given more than the merest hint of the ne- inrc of their charitable work. Take for example the slogan "Assisting crippled children." What does it meth? Ask any member of the local Lions Club how many operations, if any. the local club has ever paid for: what percentage of hospitalization is paid by the governmcut. We make no critic•isnt of the work the club cines, but merely point out that the public has never been given the information. Nor has the public ever asked for these facts. It seems they have trusted the clubs implicitly. Nn one ever' claimed that the mem- hers of these clubs who are entrusted in this fashion are elected in a democratic manner. There has never been any cry about losing civic rights when clubs were allowed to handle thls virtually government work with- out their members being elected by the people, Go the contrary, one of the import- ant qualifications of the local Lions Club is the sending of nearly two hundred dollars annually to the "International" at Chicago. They are therefore responsible to Chicago, not to Toronto, Again, we make no criticism, but merely point out that there has never been any public worry about dictator- ship, in this case. Therefore night not Mr, Hepburn be hugely surprised by the uproar caused by his latest move, to merely postpone elections for a year or two. He might well say that the public that tolerates and applauds the ger- vire clubs, not -elective bodies, who 'handle sums annually as large or larger than the controllable expendi- tures of the municipal councils, have a poo' case to complain against trust- ing their own elected representatives Inc merely two years or so, instead of nue year. "Is there any reason to believe." Mr. Hepburn night ask, "why your elected councillors cannot be trusted?
