Canada can look to the future with confidence if our governments give us wise legislation. & $ ❖ $ A TOUGH BREAK The Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto, which last Saturday clos­ ed for this year, has quite a set-back in attendance. This was not due to the fact that this great international exhibition is losing its appeal or that the attractions for this year were^not up to expectations. The drop in at­ tendance was due to an infantile par­ alysis epidemic which centred in the .Toronto area which made thousands of people leary of going to the city or at least allowing their children to <do so. The same can be said of Tor­ onto children, their parents kept them at home. We are satisfied that the directors of this great international show will WHAT WILL THEY FIND? In a short time the Royal Commis­ sion, under the leadership of Chief Justice Rowell, on Dominion-Provin­ cial Relations, will start their sittings. They are ready to go to work, the hold-up at present is that the prov­ inces have not as yet prepared to pro­ ceed. It is said that the Western' Provinces are practically ready and that the commission will sit first in the West. Let us hope that the Commission will clean up many of the overlapping departments between the provinces and the Dominion. Governments dur­ ing the last long number of years have been requiring more and more not consider this set-back a perman- revenue to carry on' their respective work and if the commission can dis­ cover some method to help out the taxpayer it will have accomplished something worthwhile. The Financial Post says, in part, in an article last week: “Some degree of taxation is, of course, inevitable and useful. But taxation in Canada has passed the point where it is inevitable, in that it represents a good deal of unneces­ sary cost of government. It has pass­ ed the point at which it is useful, the point beyond which the harm it does exceeds the good accomplished. For money that goes in taxes is lost to the other uses to which it might have been put, in increasing the comfort and resources of the country. And if taxation has not passed the point at which it is productive it must be close to that point. y *»* *•* NO NEED TO RUSH The Canadian Chamber of merce meeting at Vancouver was of the opinion that Canada must have more population if it is to fulfil the destiny that nature intended for it. Canada, it is claimed, has one-six­ teenth of the world cultivable land and more than that fraction of the ■world natural resources. Canada has only one-half of one per cent of the population. Canada is a young country ahd doubt will forge ahead in years come. There is little dought that our natural resources are developed that our population will increase by attracting peoples of other parts of the world. The system that we think ts most advisable is to wait until there is a demand for immigration ent one, which it is not but will make their plans for a bigger and better ex­ hibition next year. Any annual exhibition with a re­ cord such as the C.N.E. has will, with the management it has, draw back the crowds in increasing numbers. They, however, could not control a paralysis epidemic. This great fair, despite this scare, had away over the million attend, which is no mean feat. On Monday the Western Fair at London got under way. It is the 70tn anniversary of this great West­ ern Ontario enterprise and we wish them every success. sk sk Wipgham Fall Fair Dates, Sept. 29, 30. Keep these dates in mind.

At last she said to him: “Let’s try Krusch­ en/’ and the change that took place was, in her own words, acle. “My husband is subject io rheu­ matism and suffered terribly with his back, Some time ago, I had him in the house for 20 weeksNwith it. I really didn’t think he would ever work again, We tried all the differ­ ent kinds of sajts you could mention, but none ot them did him any good.
