RE STREET LIGHTS
A good many times since early fall
e ear attention has been drawn to the
e. lighting of our Main Street. One in-
dividual pronounced it themoatpoorly
lit main street in Western Ontario.
Well, it isn't.
At the same time, there is roteri for
improvement. Even this 'week, with
many of the stores iRuminated for
the display of .Christmas windows and
interiors, it is anything but a great
white way.
The present method of lighting
Main Street with agate on the east
side only, could not be called an en-
tirely adequate arrangement So
much se in fact, that a number of
'merchants on the west side installed
their own street lights last summer
to make up for the deficiency of the
town lighting.
That is not as it should be. The
town has a right to illuminate the
streets, and to do it properly. It is
not the merchants business to do it
for them.
That is one of the first things the
new council, or the present one, if
is re-elected, should take in hand at
an early date, and they should make
an up-to-date and thorough job of it.
It will cost money, of course, but it
would be an investment, not an ex-
travagance. You know that man
looketh on the ourbward appearance,
and there are few things that will
draw attention to a town, dravv peo-
ple to it and business to it, than will
a brilliantly illuminated Main Street;
whether the time be winter or sum -
melte
;Wield els cripple the. farrinee that
allaahasing power would be at
aaniallia1a. Point.
But, judging front the tax returns,
and no sneer barometer could be
taken ae al guide, tbis fear is not at
all *ell fouuded.
Gnarl prices have seriously affect-
ed some farmers. Those who have
interest charges and taxes to meet,
and who had expected to sell much
of their crap to meet these charges,
have beez. seriously hit.
•On the other hand there are many
farmers, perhaps a large majority in
this district, who da not sell any
grain. They feed it and it goes to
market on the hoof.
As crops of every description were
above the average this year, and
there is an abundance of feed. this
class of fanner is beyond the reach
of the ,grain market, it affords him
little, if any.
His cash crops which are hogs, but -
tee and eggs, have maintained a fair-
ly high level. None of this class of
farmers have lost money on the year's
operations; many have saved money
and many others have made some.
But the farmer is careful. He has
to be. He acquired his education in
a hard school.. When tax time came,
he had the mcmey and paid them, but
he has other money too. The taxes
have by no means exhausted his pur-
chasing power.
Hard times may not have touched
a large majority of farmers in this
county, but they have heard so much
about them and are being taxed so
much for the hard times of others,
they are going to be careful; to look
before •they leap, or rather, spend.
And being their own money, that
should be their privilege.
It is •something to know however,
that a large proportion of farm and
other taxes have been paid. That
shows there is money in the country.
And being in the country, it is artily
reasonable to believe that this money
will soon be put into circulation

Judging by newspaper reports there
will be no lack of aspirants to fill
the municipal offices in a great many
of the cities and larger centres. In
Toronto there would' appear to be
from five to ten aspirants for every
'position on the city slate, and some
ether places are little behind that re-
-cord. All of which shows a healthy
interest on the part of the ratepayers
of these places in their own particu-
lar cities and in the manner in which
these cities shall be governed.
Unfortunately that is n'ot the situa•
tam in most of the small towns and
even in many of the rural municipali-
ties.
In these latter places, in recent
,years, municipal honors have largely
gone begging. Where once the hon-
or of being elected Mayor, Reeve. or
Councillor was considered sufficient
inducement to bring out the men of
largest affair% of business ability
and organization powers, now the
honor is considered a very doubtful
honor indeed.
lit has become almost a fact that
few men are willing to chance the
loss of their reputations and their
business by seeking or occupying
public office. A man may never have
been a crook or ever aspire to be one;
not even a self seeker, but that is
about all the reputation he pcisesses
on leaving office and about all he gets
in exchange far the reptitation he
possessed when he entered it.
If this reputation was even in the
smallest part true, there might be
some justification for it, but when, in
ninety-nine cases out of one hundred,
or even a much larger proportion, it
is gained, not by proof, but by the
oft repeated hearsay of some dis-
gruntled ratepayer, who knows neth-
ing of the actual. facts of the case,
and who will not take the trouble to
study them, it is nothing short of a
disgrace to the municipality that tol-
erates it.
It is indeed unfortunate that any
such situation should exist, because
there never was a time in the aistory
•of this Province, when the wed was
so great for men of proven ability
and character to occupy municipal of-
fices of the rural districts.
Municipal government is the fauna
elation of government. If the wrench
palities, in recent years, had been
governed as well and with the same
wisdom and independence that they
were governed in the days of ou
fathers, the towns and the townships
would have a good deal more say in
the eaptenditare of the taxes they
raise, than they have to -day.
