Let Us Explain
We have been given to understand
that a commenieation which appeal-
ed
ppeared in the September 8th ed'i'tion of
The' -•p'xpositor, under the heading
"Objection," has been interpreted by
some people in thetoivir as well' as
by some others in the district, as an
attempt on the part of The Exposi-
tor to belittle and even to falsify the
quality of the entertainment and the
character of an entertainer, who was
billed to appear in one of our local
churches, under the . auspices of ono.
of the Societies of that church.
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

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. We
ean at the .misMe i't think of no priv-
ate concern which would do business
;that way. .It can hardly be called
(,air to the ratepayers of the county.

According to figures compiled by
the Department, the yield per acre of
spring• grains is considerably below
the figures of last year. Threshing
results have shown, however, returns -
better than the standard in the field
indicated and the quality of grain
generally, is reported quite good. The
aggregate yield of spring, wheat.,
oats. barley and flax is placed at 79,-
367.300 bushels in 1932, and an an-
nual average production of 117,50.1,-
100 bushels during the ten year per-
iod 1922:1931.
The weather has continued very
dry and has retarded the seeding of
fall wheat, for which,a greatly in-
creased acreage.isbing prepared.
The -Zink of the crop is just being
sown. Dry weather has severely
injured the root crop. Turnips are
poor and in some districts water
core is very prevalent. Potatoes
are yielding very- light and on
many farms the output will be
considerably less than in 1932. In
Kent and Elgin 'Counties the crop
is extremely variable with a •sample
pone,too good in some cases. Yields
will ange from 3 to '20 bushels per
acre. In Huron the prospects are
more favorable and , a yield only
slightly below normal is reported.
Sugar beets have frithstood the dry:
season very well and the 'crop pros-
pect is better than that of any, other
crops.,The corn crop is extremely
variabl. Corn borer infestation has
been slightly= heavier than for several
years. •
