THE HURON EXPOSITOR
SEAFORTH, Friday, Nov. 19, 1929,
grant you, but a large sum of money
when totalled un. If the ex refiners
were to shut cloven, the duty 'taken
off refined 'sugar, the entire refinery
employees pensioned _off on a full -
wage sale, the Canadian consumer
wolild save almost $13,775 000, quite
a tidy sum.' That is exactly the sit-
uation, to -day, $16,000,000 being paid
to the refiners over and above a "fair"
price. The Atlantic Sugar Company
paid out this' year ten per cent on a
conunon stock of $3,500000,:- andathis
stock, when originally issued, was
given! .as a bons to the holders of
the preferred shares, and was water,
the purest. of water. The dividends
paid out this year by this six year
old "Infant", so badly in need of as-
sistance, amounted to over $1,000,000.
The sugar kings .are multi -million-
aires. Is it any wonder and is this
not a glaring case of "Protection"
being "Bonus" and is it not the we
labelled it correctly, and in big type,
"BONUS." -F, W.
SHOULD "PROTECTION" BE /-
NAMED "BONUS"
In our last article we endeavored
to prove that through the greed and
averice of Canadian manufacturing
companies the popular belief that pro-
tection protected had to be. discarded.
In other words the word "protection"
as applied to a governmental policy
had lost its driginal meaning and so
it would, perhaps, be good policy to
change the name to one more descriet-
tive of the situation. Why not call
it Bonus? Of course we all Imotv
that Bonus has a bed name in Can-
ada. It smacks of privilege, extreme
privilege given to someone as a sap,
not gat and vinegar on a sponge
either, but honey, pure unadulterated
honey. The reason the name has be-
come so distasteful may be laid to
the fact that Many unsuspecting resi-
dents have been badly bitten.
It happens this way: A man with
nice manners, coupled eleith a great
show of prosperity, indtuces a town
deancil to consider a proposition for
the establishment of some manu-
facturing business, toothpicks, hair-
pins, or some other line. lie is going
to be a benefactor to that town, for
will he not bring workmen there and
do not worlmren mean more houses,
more taxes collected, more good roads
built, larger stores, etc. Wonderful
are the blessings that will flow
through these operation. The real
estate gamblers seeing a great ad-
vantage to themselves in the beosting
of prices on vacant lots and other
property andthe po.ssibilities of buy-
ing up a farm or two and sub -divide
ing it at an advance on purchase
price, at once bestir themselves and
boost, and if anyone comes forward
and advises them to go careful he is
dubbed. a "knocker." Then, when the
excitement" is at its greatest height,
a vote is taken to grant this manu-
facturer free light, free water, free
taxes or fixed assessment, a bonus
in cash or a guarantee of bonds, and
it carrieh almost without -a dissenting
voice.
You see it is all very clear. He
has the experience and the' towns-
people have the cash. As soon as the
vote is taken real estate booms, lots
sell like hot cakes and the people go
U. bed and dream of the great city
in the building, but 'alas before the
factory is completed and the army
of workmen arrive, something goes
wrong and the people wake up to
realize that -the tables have turned
'The promoter has the cash and the
town. the experience and it leaves a
sick feeling just below the belt.
That is Just one reason why we
would like to see Protection placed
in the same category for if people re-
alized that it was really the same
old game but applied generally in-
stead of locally it might put a differ-
ent aspect on the way we view the
tales -tion on the assumption that--
tbnce bit, twice shy.
There are two methods of bonusing
by the government: 1st The direct
method. This method is used by cer-
tain businesses to put their hands di-
rectly into the treasury and. draw a
per cent. on output. An example of
that is Steel Rolling. We do not pire-
pose dealing with that kind of a steal
at present but will consider the sec-
ond method, "protection." . This is
the indirect way and! differs from a
direct bonus because it takes its toll
from the masses individually insteacl
of collectively.
Here is a sample: During the sit-
ting of the tariff commission in Ed-
11,10T1t011 a Dane named Andrew Rafn,
a resident of Alberta 21 years, was
called to testify. This is his state-
ment: "I found I would ,need a
single furrow riding plow and re-
ceived quotations from three Canadian
agent,. The lowest was $56.50, the
highest 58.50. t I placed my order
through the Grain Growers Associa-
tion, who gave it to a firm in La
Grose, Wisconsin, and the plow cost
me, laid down at my station, duty
paid, $51.00. The duty cost $8.00, so
the Price of the American plo,ev was
actually $43.00, $15 less than the
prices quoted by a Canadian. firm."
If he had beught a -Canadian-made
plow, who would have pocketed that
extra $1.5.00? Again, do we have to
paw toll like that for the privilege of
dealing, with our own manufacturers?
If a farmer has to pay out money for
which he received no value whatever,
thus making a present of hard -earned -
&liars to some member of the C.
M. A. is vot "bonus" the right word
to. use? Now one more illustration.
Since that pet of the Union Govern-
ment. the Board of Commerce, palled
its colors to the mast and unwillingly
forced the sugar question to: the
front, we have all been more or less
interested in that sweetening com-
modity. A few facts have been
gathered together on "sugar," which,
to say the least, is very interesting
reading. There are- only six refining
conaranies in Canada , with a total
number of employees placed. at 2,542.
The average wage paid to these people
is $872 per annum (not a very big
wage in these times, protection or no
protection). Now Canada eats
800-C,(0,00d pounds sugar in some
form or ether and the extra duty' we
would have to pay if we shipped it
alee.ady refined would amount to
$6,000,000. But instead of paying it
to the government, we pay it out to
the Canadian refiners. This is a toll
of $2 per head for every person! in
Canada, not very big individually 1i

SOLDIERS' MEMORIAL
UNVEILED IN HOWICK
Three years ago the citizens of
Howick ToVenship decided to erect a
suitable memorial to her 19 men. who
gave their lives in the Great War.
The memorial has taken the form of
a soldiers' monument erected in
Fordwich, in a park donated by the
citizens of the village. To -ay
that monument was unveiled and ded-
icated in loving and sadred memory
of our fallen heroes and neighbors. .
The township committee spared no
pains or energy to make the ceremony.
a fitting one. A. well-prepared pro-
gramme was printed and: distributed
so that all might joins
At 2 o'clock Bugler Harry Richards,
late 153rd Battaliondsounded the call
to assemble and fall in and a military
guard marched from the public sehool
and linedup on their side of the mon.u-
/trent The chairman, Rem A. Laing,
gave a brief outline of the movement
Which led up to the service and also
reminded the people for what the
monument stands. Other speakers
included John Joynt, M.P.P., Lieut. -
Col. R. T. Pritchard, of Fergus, and
the local clergy. Many of the Ford:
wich men were under 'Col. Pritchard's
command in the 153rd.
Mr. Joynt congratulated the people
for what they had done and said the
monument would be a worthy record!
in days to come of the spirit and !de-
votion of the men of to -day,
Lieut. -Col. Pritchard also cornm.end-
ed the citizens of the municipality for
erecting such a beautiful tribute in
memory of the fallen and brought
the news that this is the first bronze
statute of a soldier molded and cast
in Canada. Canadian holdiers, he
said, had never turned their backs
upon the foe, had never failed to
take an objective, or lost a, foot of
ground so :gained!.
Geo. Hill is spending a few days with
her daughter, Mrs. J. Cornish, of
.Usborne.-Mrs. Jas. Foote and MSS
Foote, of Drayton, have returned
home, after visiting with Mr. ,John
Foote at Bannockburn, `
Telegrams of regret at inability to
attend were reeeined from Rev. W.
Fulton Wallace, of Toronto, a Ford-
wich. boy; James Bowman, M.P., and
Lieut. -Col, •D. Carmichael, of Toronto.
-
The last named in his message said
he would have been glad to meet
again the men who returned, but
wished!. to tell them he was confident
that they would facet the everyday
problems of Canadian Citizens in the
same steadfast courage with which
they encountered the enemy and bore
the hardships of active service, and
that by so doing they woul& per-
form as 'great service and earn ae,
much gratitude as when they served
in the armed forces of the empire.,
At the time of unveiling, Lieut.
Corbett called his guard to attention
and the bugler sounded "Last Post."
Reeve P. F. Doig then unveiled the
monument amid profound silence.
Rev. R. F. Jones, of the Anglican
Church, who served overseas, offered
the dedicatory prayer, and all joined
in the Lord's Prayer. A massed
choir from the churches of the dis-
trict rendered four selections; "0;
Canada,' "Onward Christian Sol-
diers," "0, God, Our Help in Ages
Past" and "Dear Lord and! Father
of Mankind." The National Anthem
was sung in closing.
Although the weather was cold the
large assembly stood in close atten-
tion for nearly two hours.
The monument itself is on a con-
crete foundation; is of best Canadian
granite, surmounted by full-size figure
of a soldier. The whole stands 16
feet above the base. At the feet of
the soldier appears. the names of the
19 men who gave up their lives. On
the eides appear the names of the
principle battles in which they en-
gaged. At the back is a wreath and
the dates of the war. The figure of
the soldier is in full trench equip-
ment depicting a man. just corning
out of the line. He has received a
letter -,from home and stands in medi-
tation.
