THE 'l‘.-\Rll*‘l“ COMDIISION.

The Western Farmers a-ppeared before the tar- iff commission at Winnipeg the other day and it felt that the presentation of thein case, through their representative, Mr. Norman Lambert, rather

The Commission delving into the tarifl’ question is a thoroughly business one. They are examining facts, not theories, their purpose is to rectify real wrongs, not imaginary ones and they want concrete

Mr. Lambert instead of presenting concrete facts read an exhaustive thesis on the evils of the pro tective principle and entirely failed to come to grips with the tarifl’ question along direct practical lines-

The Western Farmers are beginning to realize that the weakness in their fiscal policy is the reduc- ~ tion of customs revenue without furnishing an ade- quate. remedy that will meet t'he enormous annual financial demands of the country. They have changed their policy on this issue several times. First a land tax was proposed but this was generally unpopular and had to be modified and is how applicable only to undeveloped lands. To replace the deficit in addition to their modified land tax they are now advocating a personal income tax, an income tax on profits of corporations and an inheritance tax on large estates.

the revenue from these sources not by increasing the levy but by greater efliciency in collection and, with- out furnishing any proof they have assured the Fi- nance Minister that from the personal income tax alone he could raise'$200,000,000. As a theory little objection could be taken to these representations but the commission is looking for cold facts accompan- ied by indisputable evidence.

The fear of stagnation or the destruction of Can- adian industries through an uncertain interference with the tariff is also a sort of nightmare to many of the western farmers and is weakening their alleg- iance to the party.

The fiscal system of Canada will not be altered on mere theories or for political effect and the men v. ho appear before the commission must be well arm-

them. The adjustment of the tariff is one of the most serious problems today confronting Canadians and we may rest assured that those now dealing with it will have good and substantial reasons for any chan- ges they may recommend to parliament.

“'l‘lll€ xhiuvoifildoii‘ i¥iuisPi~:ui'r\'."

Since the beginning of the war we have been talking in millions and billions; millions of men, mil- lions of shells, billions of dollars. Steeped in this oc- ean of incalculablc and unintelligible figures we have lost our sense of proportion. Money has been flowing like water, money for war work that must not be stinted; money for food that must ‘be had at any cost; money earned or unearned, and in abundance, most of it sticking t0 the fingers of the shrewd speculat- ors, the rest of it running like sand through the fin- gers of those who considered themselves rich because of the temporary pleasure of handling it. Prosperity previously unknown in this generation has been sweeping over the world like a flood and we in this province and in Canada have_ been revelling in it.

The flood is subsiding. In favored spots there have been accumulations. gAmong the rank and file the sand has almost if not quite filtered through the fingers and we are again face to face with normal conditions. The money which flowed like water was not a spontaneous creation; it was largely borrowed and now it must be paid; we must pay the interest on it also, and besides, we must earn our living and pay for our former prosperity by ordinary labor for ordinary pay.

We have not yet awakened fromthe “narcotic

of prosperity.” We are still steeped in it and we are badly drugged. Our quasi prosperity is the only god we know. If we are not rich we must pretend to be rich; if we have not the means to gratify our passion for pleasure and luxury we must draw upon the fut- ure. We are glorifying wealth, bowing down before it, aping it, thirsting for it. We have given it the place formerly occupied by the real things of life, by brains, by intelligence, by the things that matter. ' , In the evolution now in progress, or the revolu- tion that seems to be impending, we may learn to put first things first, may learn that selfish pleasure is not the chief end of man and that wealth is neither a substitute for or the equivalent of service.

THE BEST M A RKET.

With the exception of the Balkan States and Russia European countries are rapidly recovering "their pre-war production. Our Canadian farmers must not lose sight of this fact or of the other equal- ly important fact that every country in the world is striving to increase its farm‘ production and so de- crease its dependence upon outside sources of sup- ply. Competition for markets abroad is certain to be- come increasingly keen and far-sighted agricultural- ists 1n Canada appreciate more than ever the fact that the home market is the best market and that their interests will be bet served by the develop- nient, along with‘ agriculture, of strong and eflicient

manufactnringjndustries. ‘
