As an 3le, Mr, Wigle.5 bleetien advertigementin .- 3 :1':t orth• New*
Of:Jane Itlx, contains Ale following statement:
. .• .
- Splendid, if frrue-but It- is. very far from the treas.' ' WiS was
Mayor for the 16ve yers, 19184922. The tax rate po 194, v mills.
For the five Years of the Wigle iriayorality the rate was 1,', 0 : 1918,,
40 mills• 1919, 44 Mills; 1920, 41 mills; 1921, 44% millsi : , 46 mills,
The population of the town in 1917 was 4,558; in 1922, the laab ear of the
Wigle mayorality, it was 4,108.
With more taxes, and fewer people to pay, them, the statedWent that the
per capita tax was reduced from $100. to $85 is seen to be. a Agetesque un-
truth.
Let no make a comparison of the taxes levied for general.:,Ilurposes in
the years indicated, omitting the war tax levied up to 1918, and omitting
for all the years th4 amounts raised for school purposes.. In 1917 the
levy for general purposes was $49,887.98; 1918, $58,884.56019, $83,980.40;
1920, 857,257.82; 1921, $68,369.03; 1922, $66,210.95. So. tb*t, instead 'of
reducing the per capita tax, Mr. Wigle increased it from:leen than $11
in 1917 to over $16 in 1922, his last year as Mayor. Talchig a rough
average, the ratepayer whose taxes (for general mrinicinal purposes) were
$100 irr 1917.was taxed over $145 in 1922 for the same purnSitH tii
Other statements in the same advertisement are, to afifY the least,
misleading. In fact, accuracy of statement can hardly he ,said to be
one of Mr. Wigle's strong points. In his municipal- nomination ad-
dresses he used to get away with some queer statements of, alleged facts
and figures, because his opponents were not suf5cientii- ‘observant or
were not sufficiently wefi informed to catch him up. ,y such means
the former Mayor built up some reputation an a financier, although had
anyone cared to delve into the figures it would have been seen that as a
financier Ebon Rinaldo Wigle was a good druggist.
Hli
The Wigle mayoralty may be divided into tw9 parts. The„ t part was
dominated by the Steel Company episode. It will always he a matter for
disagreement whether Mr. Wigle did the right thing or not iti tagonizing
so strongly the promoters of the Steel Company. At any rate, because of
his stand in this matter he was endorsed by the municipal voters in two
elections. In the latter part of his mayoralty term he was steadily losing
friends. His success in opposing the Steel Company proposition seemingly
bred in'him the idea that it was good policy for him to oppose every other
proposition that came along, and neither the Hoard of Trad nor inde-
pendent citizens could get him to lift a hand to assist any ntriject for the
industrial development of the town..The town was losing. in Ipopulation,
development projects were held up because of the Mayor's stubborn refusal
to co-operate with anybody else, and so general was the desire for a
change that when Dr. Gallow appeared in the municipal arena Ebon Rinaldo
Wigle faded from the scenery amid a sigh of relief from the townspeople.
With the change in the mayoralty a new spirit has come over the town's
municipal affairs. Industrial and other developments are receiving en-
conragement and support, the population of the town is once more on the
upward trehd, real estate values are increasing, and the town is again
beginning to look for advancement and prosperity.
Why did not The Signal bring out these facts while Mr. Wigle was in
the Mayor's chair? The Signal sympathized with Mr. Wigle's position in
regard to the Steel Company proposition and it was after that ceased to be
an issue that his qualities as an obstructor became so pronounced. The
Signal of January 5th, 1922, in concluding its comment on the muniipal
election, tendered the following admonition to the Mayor”lect:
"Goderich needs a man who will cease looking behind; who will
look forward to, those things which are before and with all sin-
cerity voice the challenge: Let's all pull together for a bigger and
a better Goderich. This is Mr. Wigle's opportunity to supply
Goderich with a courteous and -progressive administrationP----- •
Even at that date Mr. Wigle's peculiar qualities of obstructiveness
were manifesting themselves in a degree which called for The' Signal's
reproof. With regard to the figures of the town's taxation and population,
it is never pleasant to bring such unfavorable facts to public notice and
The Signal would not do it now but for Mr. Wigle's absurd claim's to be
the financial savior of the town and his attempt to make his municipal
record a stepping -stone to a seat in the Legislature as a supporter of
Howard Ferguson and the Conservative party, Ebon Rinaldo Wigle, Mayor
of Goderich, and Ebon•Rinaldo Wigle, Tory candidate for the Legislature,
are two very different propositions. It is an open secret -•-rather, it is no
secret at all -that many of the leading Conservatives of Goderich regard
Mr. Wigle's pretensions with disfavor. As good Conservatives they are
supporting him in this contest, but his defeat on the 25th of June will not.
cause them a pang. Certainly no Liberal or Independent elector in any
part of the riding should allow himself to be misled by the reckless state-
ments made in Mr. Wigle's election advertisements.

of a large section. His cautious
financing has been his boast, in
municipal polities, and with the ex-
perience of the wastefulextrava-
gance of the late Goverrunent, the
country can well afford to have men
of hisstamp among its Legislators.
Another quality of Mr. Wigle's, and
one which is a good one for a mem-
ber of the Legislature, is his habit of.
studying out a question till he has
arrived at his own conclusions apart
from outside influences. and then ad-
hering to those conclusions and con-
victions. Mr, Wigle has a very
forceful way of presenting what he
has to say and, with him in the Legis-
61ature Centre Huron will be sure to
be heard from. Mr. Wigle's aim has
been to hold the balance between var.
bus influences, to !woo -me the tool of
no clique and to come to an independ-
ent judgthent on all questions. Ile
will give good service in the Legisla-
iu re.
