LETTERS TO THE EDITOR > Until now the food -offered has altogether unassimable; it is a of bones and nervous tissue, nervous tissue, and very very bones whose meat was severed them in the early B.C.’s, Now, to bid me mind my own business as its destiny has been foreordained and is beyond my control,*Sq, I have told it to carry one. If it offends, it can’t help itself, if it gains approval of its doings, well and good; if it awakens no concern, it will be better.than sat isfied, Yet it must be satisfied that the food the Leadership League is forcing on it will be at least digest ible. been mess very aged from Mr, Thompson says I am a critic of the League, though I disclaim that nomenclature. I have not criticised the League. I can’t ciriticise anything that is nothing, and in my estimation the League is nothing, Until the Lea gue formulates a program of reform I will leave it alone, but so long as it continues its vitrolic attack on all our M.P.’s, some of whom have work ed hard for the advancement of re form, I will stand up for the maligned members and see, that they get recog nition. In this regard I am urged to stand up for our local representative, Mr. Deachman. To my knowledge he has put himself out of his way to try to do what he thinksxhe should do for his constituents. I have been in touch with him and had occasion to bespeak his attention to matters of concern for his constituency, and he has responded with alacrity and with an exercise of thoughtfulness that has endeared himself to me. I don’t see eye to eye with Mr. Deachman on many things, but I do honsetly think he represents the feelings of his con stituents. I feel it my duty to try to alter these feelings, but I am not go ing to indulge in wh wholesale de nunciations such as the League mak es. I am not a Tory, I am not a Grit, I am only just a Christian believing 1 in Christ’s precepts, and awfully an xious to see these carried out. .•Yours truly, James G. Webster.

FERGUS EDITOR TAKEN BY DEATH J. c.Templin Dies at Home of His Daughter in Hamilton also of Fergus Lodgq I.O.O.F. He was a member of the Canadian Week ly Newspaper Association. Mr. Templin is survived by one son, Hugh Templin, of The News-Record,, and two daughters, Dr. Marian Temp lin, and Margaret Templin, of Ham ilton, also by two sisters and two bro thers. J. C. Templin, editor of The Fergus News-Record died Wednesday of last week at the home of bis daughter, Dr. Marian Templin, of Hamilton. . Mr. Templin was active in church, educational and fraternal circles. He was born in Fergu's in 1870, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Templin. He received his early education there, later attending the Elora Model School, the first year it was in opera tion. He was unable to teach for a year following his graduation because he was too young. Later he was prin cipal of Marsville Public School. He attended Ottawa Normal .School and later taught on the Fergus Public School staff for 12 years. He resigned to enter the newspaper business as owner and editor of The News-Re cord in 1904. He was married to the late Annie Black, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hugg Black, of Fergus. Mr. Templin served for 30 years as a member of the Fergus Board of Education, five years as chairman. He was a member of Mercer Lodge, A.F. and A.M. and SANDINGBy R. J. Deachman, M.P. -------- 0 There is a great deal of nonsense about the debt of the Dominion Gov ernment. Substantial reductions were made between the years 1924 and ’30. During this period the debt was re duced by $276,000,000. The years that- followed, beginning with 1931 brought about sharp additions to the debt, due primarily to two factors, the cost of unemployment relief and railway loss es. During this period the debt in creased by $840,000,000. But there is something else we want to keep in mind. Interest rates have declined and interest charges on the public debt are actually lower than they were in the years -from 1921 to 1925 and they are $7,000,000 lower than they were in 1934. one of the depres sions years when debt burdens were, certainly difficult to bear. Besides the bonds which represent the debt are owned mainly in Canada. What it really means is that all the people of Canada owe some of the people of Canada a considerable sum of money, but the nation is not bankrupt nor is the total wealth reduede by this pro cess. It would of course be pleasant to get rid of the debt but there in reality bigger problems. Other Expenses The expenses of government not the only expenditures which average citizen must meet. I check- ’ ed over the other day the cost of mov ing a ton of freight, or its equivalent in passenger traffic, one mile on our railways. In 1913-14, the cost was 4.8 mills or slightly less than one half- cent. In 1936 the cost was 8 mills or 4’5 of a cent. This represents an in crease of 67%. The price of farm products is now almost exactly at the price level of 1913 but are the things which you buy as cheap as they were in 1913? They are far from it. The increase in taxation is not the only factor in adding to costs. Price creases check demand and lead to employment. It is extremely interesting to how your dollar of taxation .money is spent. This table shows the number of cents and the fraction of a cent which goes to meet certain government ex penditures.
