Road Sign of 0, M. L. N'ow Over

for road signs from the affiliated. clubs
are far ahead of Oast year, when the

bringing ,the dotal up 'to the 70,000
mark. No less than 1,000 signs have
been already requistioned this year by
the Georgian Bay District alone, The
0. M. L. has erected morel road signs

cents a pound. " This rate applies to
parcels mailed in Clnade addressed for
delivery in the United States, end when
emailed in. that country addressed for
delivery in 'Canada. The rates given
for the United States in the Postal
Guide are changed to the following:
One pound, 14cents; 2 pounds, 28c.;

THE RAILWAY PROBLEM IN
CANADA
there is no denying that, owing ho.
the general depression In bussess
throughout Canada, the problem of ,the
'Canadian National Railways is an urgent
one. The enemies of public awnersbi0
are persistently clamoring WO 'the
time has come for the absorption of
the Canadian Nationals by 'the Canad-
ian Pacific. This, they claim, would
enable the Canadian Pacific to control
a huge monopoly of the Canadian rail-
ways sthat would eliminatei
nate all waste
ate
and icompetition, and enable it to be-
come once more a prosperous cor-
i+oration capable of paying rich divl
deeds. The agitation for this amal-
gamation has become so persistent and
urgent it; certain circles that no other
Inference Is possible than that tt is ac.
Mated by selfish financial motives.
The deficit last year on the oper-
ation of the 22,000 miles of the Can-
adian National Railways was 555,000,-
000. This almost absorbed the rev-
enue from income 'taxation last year,
which was about $56,000,000. The
r •
people eahze that everything possible
roust be done t ran
obs ce
the railway
budget.' et. i

g s probable that the oper-
ating expenses of the railways in both
Canada and the United States have be-
come so high that reasonable profits
are no longer possible. Just how
these extravagant expenses are t0 be
scaled down is a matter for the 'rail-
way managements to Jointly solve. It
is, evident that no petty palliative will
suaice.' The problems will have to be
considered carefully by both the ,bre
railway systems of Ca ada
' ss
well as
the federal government.
. 'rhe course that will be acceptable
to the country is co-operation and re-
adjustment, rather than amalgamation.
The proposal of Sir Henry Thornton
that the solution is co-operation be-
tween the Canadian National and the
Canadian Parlific, with the ,aim of elini-
inating waste, and improving the finan-
cial position of both systems, rtther
than amalgamation, will be endorsed
be the vast majority of ..the Canadian
people. The people of C
aadal
would
not tolerate a merger of the Canadian
National whit the Canadian Pacific, It
would create a huge railway monopoly
that weed have the country by the
throat. The sooner the enemies of the
public ownership and advocates of
'monopoly learn that the people of Can-
ada want thein to keep their hands off
the Canadian National Raihways the
better It will be for all concerned. The
Canada of the future will not only need
these roads, but many additional lines,
and a renewal of national prosperity
would soon tax the carrying capacity
of both systems and solve the revenue
