THURSDAY, FEB: 27th, 1919. WHAT'S WRONG WITH FARMING? Mr. W. L. Smith, writing in the Weekly Sun, is very pessimistic regard- ing the effect upon,farming of the an pounced Ontario Government's policy of spending large sums of money on public improvements euen as road building with a view to absorbing, to some 'ex -tent, the unemployed • men returning from Europe, or who have been thrown out' of work by the,cessation of war ac- tivities. Mr. Smith thinks that .this policy will rob the farmers of the labor. they hoped to secure at reasonable wages when munition planta would close and the army be demobilized. That he is right in this cannot be denied.' But what is wrong with the business of farming that it must have cheap labor in order to avoid the ruin which Mr, Smith fearb? Wages on the. farms always have been notoriously low as compared with wages in many other lines of industry. This may be more apparent than real, because the fareu hand usually gets board and has his washing done where he works, and�he is relieved from many other little incid- ental expenses. On the whole, however, it is still true that wages% Ontario farms have been low, as compared with wages elsewhere. Yet the farmers have not been making fortunes out of this cheap labor. As compared with the bulk of the population in many other countries they are comfortable and well off, hut they have not become wealthy as men in many other lines of industry have; -nor have they been able to com- pete is tbe labor markets with manu- facturers, .railway companies, builders and magi others. They didn't have the income. In short, work on the farni hasn't given the return ii money. But the remedy will not be found in bolding back other work nor in permit- ting or creating a congested labor- mar- ket All along there have been in this country, as • to other countries, a privik eged class and an unprivileged class -- the first implies the second; and the fart'ners bare not been the privileged claas in this country nor in the United St tree. Io onr complicated sr►ei:al arrange- ments, and with the tangle of laws which atm to regu'ate industry, creating a privilege here and giving a bonus there, it is not easy to trace nor to explain the injustice, but it is quarte evident that there is much wrong with a set e,f ar rangenients wbicb enables a few men in a country to beceiee millionaires in a few year*, while others by a lifetime (.f toil and saving are able to get only a commonplace living and barely escape the Poor House in old age. The want of business ability on the part of some and the foolish wasteful- ness of others, while they add to the difficulty of understanding the problem, . do Lot explain. THE RAILROADS IN POLITICS Advocates of the public ownership of railways and their operation by the governmert need to say that "if the government did not own the railways, mecca for the purpose of having lens paaaed favorable to themselves. 'they wanted to bleed the public for all the ;rallic would stand; and they wanted land grants, money grants ann privelegea in crossing public highways and private property. Generally they got what they wanted. With the passing of private owner ship that so,tof influence comes to au et.d, but another comes _in. Instead of the railway owner influencing the gov- ernment to rob the public in their in- tereste the railway operatives are going to do the influencing. These are now thoroughly organized and they. can at 'any time tie up the whole' transportat- ion system of the country if :.their de wands are refused: This they are threat- ening to do over in Brrtatn, and when 1,'remier Lloyd George protests that their demands- will infjict hardship on other classes of woikmien, they laugh at the idea. What do they care? They are leek= ing out for number one, just as the rail- road owners -did before. Now that th a •railroads are under gov • ernment-mianageorent in the United States the same' trouble arises. The brotherhoods of realway ewployee>: claim'' that they have -a right to direct the pol- ,icyof'tiheroads, ,st?eiug'.that 'their inter` eat ,.in them is•eo great. The interests of the public will get little consideration from them.If this idea is acted upon it is easy. to imagine bow the public may become a greater sufferer under the new than it was under the old system.. The organized- e m ployees . wa make any ,de- mand ae to high wages and short hcurs, and what government' will •dare .to r•p- pose them with their threat of political opposiiion backed up by a. threat to strike and paralyse the whole business. of the'country. It will never do for a government and the public .to be at the mercy of an organization able .. to tie up transportation, and prepared to dolt in order to exact a demand. I:, would seem that the real solution of the railwsy problem is the same as the solution ..f the public highway prob- lem. The government should pwn the roads and keep them in repair, permit- ting anyone who wishes to run :trains' upon them uncle: necessary regulations and restnctions There is no good reason why the railways should not be managedas the streets and public high- . ways are managed. THE WAR SAVINGS A vigorous campaign is under way throughout the country to promote sav- ing by the purchase -of Thrift' nd War Savings -Stamps. This is a way the Government has' of reaching down to those who can put away only small sums at a time, and inducing theta to invest these small sums in government sec�Cr- ities. The same plan has been adopted in the United States where it appears to be more popular than iu this c' untry. The popularity of the War Saving Stained in the 1-. S is due lfi tbb that the` ' great wave of patriotism set 11 motion by the war has not yet sub - aided. rhe people are still prepared to do almost anything for, the country. But they help themselves at the same time that they, help the country; and the ewe . is true of Canadians who in- vest in our War Savings 'Stamps. It was announced the otberi day •that our Government had extended credit to the governments of France and Ron mania to the extent of fifty million dol- lafr�. That means that these, countries can now buy goods in Canada to the amount of fifty million dollars without paying cash for them. The Canadian Government. will pay for the goods iii- ' stead, charging it up to the country re- (eivir,g the goods. It, of C,.ur�ee, has to pay interest to our Oovernweit until the debt is paid. Uur Government, on. the other hand, pays interest to the cit- izens who lend the money to it. If an arrangement such as this had not been made the people of France and Rou- mania would have tc get along without . the machinery, building. Along and -food--stuffs wbicti they so much need. It is a f tan fur promoting busi'riess on credit, and there is .practically no risk to anybody. The only way in whilch Inas -could be'incurred would be in the event of the gobernments of France or Rou- mania, or any other country receiving credit in tlmt way, go�irg bad as tie rnment of P►issia went and ref nd- g its debts: It is safe to say that is little danger of this urine,► the last year r,f the war the to btiy great �lulotitit s of! war stn and France in thin way, enabltni .rl&rititii of par tial which they otherwise would bad to produce at bomeordo with Witha view, to promoting other of export the Govetomeot of the fed States is now eltending credit her countries. the railways would own the government."
