Let us say at the outset and say it most plainly and emphatically, that The Expositor is absolutely guiltless. of any such intention, or of any such thought. In proof' of these statements let us point to the fact that. in our issues of August 18th. August. 25th and September Sth. we published readers totalling 33 column inches, or more ,than a column and a half, announc- ing the programmes to be giv:•n and extolling the merits of them, .as well' as giving the history of the enter- tainer. and we published them on their merits and without charge. in addition. in The Expositor issue of Septeirnlber 15th, we were very glad to• publish a comprehensive re- ply to the previous communication, written by Rev. W. A. Bremner, of Bruce -field United Church. . • It has also been hinted, if not op- enly expressed, that if The Expositor did not itself write the con•Jncunica- ' tion. "Objection," it was at least the instigator of it. That is an accusation against the record of The Expositor. so unfair and unfounded that we even hesitate' to reply to it. But that there be no misunderstanding in the matter,, we say with positive emphasis that The Expositor had no more to do with the writing or the instigation of the article complained of, than it had to do, With the writing or the instiga- tion of the reply which was made to it. That was nothing. ,Both the communication and the reply were the private opinions of two men; one a minister of the Unit- ed Church, whose standing and in- tegrity is unquestionable, the other is the opinion of a professional man of the same denomination, who is a rne1niber and an active worker in the United Church at Hensall, and who is' also a man of integrity. The .only part ,The Expositor play- ed was' to make public these private opinions. on request. Apart from that it was absolutely and entirely disin- terested. lent, °I+f expenditures in the other prov- inces have been on a proportionate (basis it follows that more than 50,- 000,000 • has been the cost of the de- pression to Canada, to the end of July, in eespece atter telief a e. This money has col e *ons the $axpayers ,or is still to`` "be paid by them --and at a time 'when they were least able to (meet such an extraordinary de - /need upon t1 em. The fact that the cost is spit three shays, that immedi- ately the money comes in equal parts from federal, provincial and nedn'i- cipal treasuries, is of no consequence. There is no source of public funds, but the taxpayer, and in one way or another he pays the shot. • Disturbing figures such as these explain the eagerness with which em- ployment and relief tieures are stud-. ied, and the deep satisfaction arous- ed in all quarters by the improve- ment in recent months. The Motorist Paps (Woodstock Sentinel•+Review) Just happened to notice that among the objects of the Ontario Motor League, as defined in the constitution are • the following: "To maintain the rights and priv•• Lieges of those 'who use motor ve- hicles; to promote rational legisla- tion governing the use of such ve- hicles."• There is a little matter concern- ing rwhich, we think, the. League ought to be heard from again. Mot- orists in Ontario were taxed c19.- 000.000 last year, exclusive of cus- toms duty and sales tax. Of this amount $1.2,3.11,237 was br way of gasoline tax, and the Act states that money so raised is for roads.eo But total ordinary expendi- ture of the department last year was only $3,865,467. So there was $8,- 500.000 surplus. or enough to pay the interest on the, whole road debt of rhe provilice-assuming that 'motor- ists ought to pay it all. 'Capital expenditure last year $6:.712,739. but the money was rowed. If it had not been, the rev- enue from motor licenses, $7.165.795, was more than sufficient to take care of it. lent as it was, in fact, borrow- ed, there •vas a corresponding sur- plus of motor revenue for general purposes. When the government increased license fees, effective for. e, the Motor League, which had reg . emend- ed a flat rate 'of $5, expressed. e hope that 'the higher scale was temporary only, and renewed its objection to a rate of gas tax higher than five cents. The government went ahead and levied a six cent tax. though at the same time drastically cutting its expenditure on roads. Hence the huge surplus here mentioned. • Ordinary decency requires thrtt the gas tax. or scale of license fees, or both, be reduced for next year. An- other holler from the Ontario Motor League aright help. i was bor- 1.° LOUKI WALiiON G OVER THE DISTRICT NEWS Tips The September meeting of the Wo- men's ; !Missionary Society and Wo- men's Association of Duff's , United Church 'was held in the basement of the'church on Wednesday afternoon, September 13. The missionary meet- ing was in -charge of the president, Mrs. Chas. Cumming. Following the opening exercises the minutes of the October meeting were read by the secretary, 'Mrs. John McDonald. The president gave an interesting Bible, reading and talk on "The Life of Queen Esther." A' reading was giv- en by 'Miss J. Simpson on "The Build- ing of a -Church in Western Canada." During the business meeting it was announced that Miss Sperling. a re- turned missionary and formerly of Brussels, would speak in the church on Sunday evening, October 2nd. Mrs. Clarence' Martin read the introduc- tory to the n:w study book, after which the meeting closed with a hymn and prayer by 'Mr. Edward Bryans. Owing to .the absence of the presi- dent, Mrs. George eicTaggart, the first vice-president, Mrs. Wm. Mur- ray, presided over the Women's At-, :sedation meeting. The opening hymn was followed with tire minutes A Light -Sentence (Stratford Beacon -Herald) Gordon Young, former treasurer of Huron County, was sentenced at Goderich to a term which means one year in the penitentiary. With time off for good behavior, it will mean less than that. The charge to which Mr. Young pleaded guilty., included that of taking an amount which may yet amount to as ncueh as 815,000 from the county funds; mutilation of county records;,conspiracy- to secure the silence of auditors hy paying them to remain silent. The course of conduct which culminated in Mr. 'Young's appearance in court for sen- tence had been going on since 1930 at lea -et. The Beacon -Herald. is not pressing for a longer sentence; we have no desire to see Mr. Young spend any more time than is necessary at the reformatory or at any other place of confinement, but it cannot be over looked that he was extremely for- tunate to secure such a sentence. Whether the decision of the magis- trate Will 'be challenged by his super- iors we do not know. There is something more in this situation. The attorney who defend- ed Mr. Young, and who made a plea for him before sentence was passed, admitted that his client, when taking office, had had no previous experi- ence in the 'keeping of books and re- cords. When a courdty • has a busi- ness which calls for the disburse- ment of as much as $660,000 per year, one might we'll hesitate to ap- point to such,a 'post a ratan who had rto experience 9 such' matters.
