country up with folks from other

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.

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.

Possesses Violin Over
Three Hundred Years Old
Mr. Wm. J. McNall of Lucknow
is in possession of a very rare violin,
which he received as a present nine
years ago. Mr. McNalL has discover
ed a label within the violin which
reads: “Jacobus Stainer in Absam

in is one hundred years older than
one owned by G. A. Schattfe of Wing-

of a collection in the United States,
which is worth many thousand dol

may yet be discovered that Mr. Mc-
