Zurich Herald, 1937-09-02, Page 6uPPISident Pa et* Of ZURIC iluRoday, September 2nd, 190'i OLD MAN ONTARIO speaks for the great mass of our citizens when he says, "Thank you, Mitch". Only too well he remembers the sorry plight into which bad government had brought this great province three years ago. Spendthrift politicians were dragging us deeper and deeper into debt. Their millionaire friends were being allowed to fleece the public treasury. Every department of the public services was honeycombed with an army of hangers-on. It was then the people turned to Hepburn in the hope he could and would carry out the promises he made. Perhaps skeptics may have attributed some of his promises to youthful enthusiasm—.but Hepburn kept his word --he's Ontario's Man of Action. Today Honourable Mitchell F. Hepburn submits the most successful record any Ontario Prime Minister ever presented before the bar of public opinion. Hepburn Earns the Gratitude of the Electorate "gyp has earned the thanks of practically every man, woman .. 1 and child in the province. Wealthy beneficiaries of estates which had been allowed to mulct the province to the tune of 22 million dollars will not thank hint for recovering that huge sum—but nearly everybody else will. - Timber profiteers rue the day on which Hepburn came to Queen's Park. .but the people of the North rejoice when they see largenew industries springing up and old ones reviving. They join Old Man Ontario in his enthusiasm for the ending of unemployinent in the timber ` area and for `` turning George Henry's deficits into surpluses. "Big Business" may not be singing Hepburn's praises --but, the common people appreciate the fact that he saved them millions in interest rates, Hepburn Saves Hydro Trthe Quebec power barons had a vote in Ontario, it would all certainly not go to Hepburn—but Ontario knows that the Government's Hydro policy not only saved this great enterprise from ruin, but that it has already saved over four million dollars to Hydro users, and the new contracts will eventually effect total savings to the Province of over six million dollars a year, Profiteers from the liquor toll gate that Hepburn promised to abolish will not be on his side— but the people approve his prohibition of the sale of liquor in restaurants which the Henry Government would have permitted. Hepburn Proves to be The Tax -Payer's Friend PrHAT "Thank you, Mitch" covers a wide range of public services, alk administered with an efficiency and economy hitherto unknown, It says: "Thanks" for the lessening of municipal burdens—that mill on the tax rate, the increase in township road subsidies, the assump- tion and increase' of Mothers' Allowances and the assumption of Old Age Pensions, "Thanks" for the abolition of the amusement tax. "Thanks" for preventing the exploitation of labour by riotous aliens. "Thanks", for the advanced labour legislation, such as — industrial standard codes, extending minimum wage laws to men, and setting. up a tribunal to ensure a square deal to em- ployees and employers. This new Industry and Labour Board has already justified its creation by effecting settlements in several disputes of long standing. "Thanks" for the modernizing acid extension of our high- ways, and for promoting tourist trade on a greater scale than ever before, "Thanks" for the improvement in the preventive• measures for the healthof the people, and for the better care of the sick —physical and mental. "Thanks" for the progress of education in Ontario, and for aunling the costs of examinati('l i fees, "Thanks" for the advancement of every Department within the jurisdiction of a Pro- vincial Government. Symbol of a ,grateful . people, Old Man Ontario speaks for the great mass of our citizens when he says, "Carry On, Hepburn". Those • Who Are Entitled To Vote Every British subject 21 years of age, and resident in Ontario since October 6, 1936, is entitled to vote at the forthcoming elec- tion — but the name must be on the voters' list. A vote for the Liberal candidate on October 6th is the practical way the Ontario elector can join in the mandate, "CA,RRY ON, HEPBURN".

The Dominion Bur- en of Statistics has published that at he end of the 1936-87 crop year, on "uly 31, total stocks of wheat in the zeuntry ainounted to only $2,739,w 852 bushels, the lowest since 1925, in 1933 these totaled 211,740,188 bushels. At the beginning of the crop year just closed the carryover into 1936-37 was 108,094,277 bushels, so that, over and above the crop harv- ested in 1936, the demand for the past 12 months ate into this stock to the extent of 73,354,425 bushels. Supplementary figures isueu by the bureau early this month showed a fureher diminition of stocks during the first five days of August. from a year ago. ^emo eleven:max a et/la atln{f els XOspl Alain a:istu o} diet( este lute 'Kett m) lila ttolareAuca }sanbesgtus at(; stat as 'ulxo3i ! 1Q. eideed eatqpus owe -0.t uttr uec �S ,ass ll►i>t;A\ttaa alms ss ouel j"A,9.t y sottev114yM4 MIN dula;e, e.cd tit oTtia-timpe$eo • pug9. eulop '5oi,Itel 1ii1tt_yt}. ala iotup tgaleg liagt ' " IN'4t 011 teilAt.

No one will accept payment in gold. The discovery of a rarer metal, such as radium, may be made at any time. It is reasonable to expect that we shall and out how to make gold," "The principle of sound waves in aeronautics will be discovered and then airplanes will carry passenger's at the rate of a hundred miles an hour or more." "The steam locomotive is blowing its last blast for millions of people. Water -wheels will make electricity to run all the railroads that traverse regions in whack there is abundant water -power." "All furniture will soon be made of steel." "Within thirty years all construc- tion will be reinforced concrete from the finest mansions to the tallest sky- scrapers. Reinforced concrete is cheaper than either brick or steel and a building of reinforced concrete will stand practically forever." "books will be made of nkkel, A sheet of nickel one -twenty -thous- andth of an inch thick is cheaper, tougher and more flexible than an ordinary sheet of book paper. A nickel book two inches thick would contain 40,000 pages. Such a book would weigh only a pound. I can make a pound of nickel sheets for one dollar and a quarter. Suck a book would be indetruetible except by fire or abuse. Nickel will take printer's ink." "Machinery will replace hand labor." "The day of the peamstrees wear., fly running her seam Is almost ended." "A machine could be made that would take theraw material at :elle end and turn out finished sues -of clothing at the other." "Bound books will fall from the press." "The machine that takes in lumber will give out flnisned furniture," "In other words, machinery will make the parts of things and put them together instead of merely mak- ing the parte of things for human hands to put together." "Electricity will soon be used for every purpose, driving the farmer's plough as well as propelling powerful war -preventing submarines." "In place of the present. farmer will come a shrewd business man who will , be at ogee s soil- chemist, a , botanist and an economist. 1 think. the easing fanner will be a mag on a seat -beside .;,a push -buttal and some levers. Our present agricultural ink- plementa will seem primitive." "The submarine may become se formidable 'that it will not be worth while to build battleships." "There wilt be no poverty le Ma world a hundred years from now." "As a result of a machine age 1 Predict a world flooded with food, clothing, shelter and luxuries. Thera is no limit to the cheapness with which things can be made. But there will be one trouble. A few will have too much and the rest not enough. inventors can give the world Wealth, but government will have to regulate it, There will be some big experiments tried in government within the next flit' years, There are stormy days ahead for tke man who would take what another makes."
