Flood of Paper

The Federal Government's printing and s..ltionery bill for 1950-51 will be in the vicinity of 813 million. In 1938-39 the cost of Ottawa's printing and stationery was about h2.5 million. In view of Finance Minister Abbott's promised economy drive, such figures suggest that printing and publishing would be a good place to start. When the Government's big new printing plant in Hull, Quebec, is finished, chances are that the flood of official publications will grow.

The trouble with a lot of government

publications is that they cover, as a rule, events that are no longer news. Seldom do the blue-covered documents contain infor- mation that is useful to newspaper editors. Rather, they serve merely to clutter the archives of libraries from coast to coast. ' The only way to curb government ex- travagance and waste in printing and pub- lishing is to compile a list of all official documents, reports and publications. No such list is at present available. It would then be possible to cut out much useless material. Faring down the number of pub- lications and PRO's that flourish in Ottawa would undoubtedly save the taxpayers of Canada several million dollars without the slightest inconvenience to anyone.

Rhodes scholarships

Former Rhodes scholars have made their mark in every part of the Common- wealth. They have been selected on the basis of their qualities of leadership rather than pure scholarship, and the system has proved its worth producing outstanding citizens.

November 1st is the deadline for ap- plications and successful candidates will proceed to two or possibly three years at Oxford or other recognized university. It is reported that in recent years the trend is away from history and law which were long popular studies, and towards science, philosophy, politics and economics.

It will be interesting to observe wheth- er this change will make any notable dif- ference in the qualities of citizenship of graduates. It would seem that the older favorites, history and law, brought out the capacity for public service. It remains to be seen whether the modern curriculum does so well.

"We The People of England"-

The editor of the London trade paper ”Tailor and Cutter" has delivered what is intended to be a devastating blast against men's clothes as worn in the United States. That nation is classified as a coun- try of sartorial Peter Pans who have never grown up as far as clothes are concerned. ”At present". he goes on to say, ”American clothes resemble the fantastic fashions of equatorial regions."

The duty of Canada, in this unprovoked attack on a neighbour, is plain. We must with all diligence come to the aid of the American male, and also convince the ag- gressor that its attack is not backed up by anything like the majority of English- men.

It is only necessary to look at English school children, dressed in what amounts to a severely cut uniform until they reach the age of discretion, to realize that no true Briton would ever think of sloppy and colorful clothes as being a sign of immatur- ity. Rather it is only when the school- master's discipline is ended that anything daring in the way of dress can even be contemplated. '

It would seem that what at first ap- pears to be national aggression is merely a successor-to the protocol of the three tail- ors of Tooley Street.

Tax-collectors can Bo Vim:

Since time immemorlal the lot of the tax-gatherer has been hard. His function of extracting money from an unwilling pub- lic has earned for him a idlsugreeahie reputation. The unpopuiarlty which he "enjoys" can only be ameliorated by the fairness and reasonableness with which he discharges his duties.

Rules presently followed by the.Income

A Tax authorities in Canada. especially in re-

'spact of tax appeals, must serve only to in-

thovunpopulsrity of the tax-gather?

' Certainly their insistence that, coin-

with tho launching of on appeal, the A poll! "without. smit-

ing the appears outcome, is not calculated to impress the public with the Income Tax Division's sense of what is fair and just.

People who appeal the rulings of the In- come Tax Division usually do so in the con- viction that taxes assessed are unduly high. and that the assessing authorities erred in imposing them. This being so. it is but elementary justice that no money should be collected by the Income Tax Division until the appeal has been heard and a de- cision handed down. To insist that the claim he settled in full before the appeal is heard, is the same as for the claimant in a civil damage suit to insist that the amount awarded by judgment of the lower court be paid over to him, on the under- standing that he would pay it back if, on appeal, the judgment of the lower court were reversed.

Mr. W. R. Shaw, M.B.E., is being com- mended for his handling of the potato situ- ation before Federal Agriculture Minister Gardiner. Certainly no one knows the subject better than Mr. Shaw or could han- dle it more effectively. But Mr. Gardiner has the last word in presenting the case before the Cabinet, and his attitude so far has been non-committal.

Too much importance should not be at- tached to the statistics relating to the in- creased production of margarine, and the decrease in the production of butter. The former is largely dependent on earlier wea- ther and market conditions, while the for- mer can be readily turned out to suit cur- rent conditions. For good creamery butter as for good butcher meat, there will always be a steady demand at remuneratlve prices

PRINCE STREET WEAR?

Legislative Assembly. March 5- 1856:

Hon. Mr. Coies. Colonial Secre- tary, called attention to the neces- Sny wmch existed of providing another wharf in Charlottetown. where the I-Illlsborough ferry boat could have a secure and conven- lent. landing. The want of ll proper slip at the old Queens Wharf ll much felt. and females Pll-lllvlllllllll” ly suffered from the want of the necassary accommodation. He thought it impossible '0 C0”5ll'"C;' is good landing place at this whard. its the shlpplns. usually mm" there. would be much interfered with. But he considered that the end of Prlance gtareei. would be a most eiigi le s e.

He stated that Dennis Reddin, Esq., had offered the site of a por- tion of his wharf for the annual rent of M0. The acceptance of this proposal he did not deem advisible. as it appeared lnexpedlent to con- nect public with private propell- lmd besides the accommodation constantly required for a tel”?! wharf would be liable to frequent In- terruptions our hindrances by ves- sels taking up berths near the wharf. and the dep05ll- of prlvzjte property on it. Prince Street was geogfgphlcany cenilral, and the ex- tension of the town eastwardly would soon render it central with reference to the business of the city. It. was intended to construct the wharf to the edge of the chan- nel: the cost would p!'0b3bll' be some 121200 or 21500.

O O 0

Hon. Mr. Montg0mEl'Y. in BPP,l'0V" big the suggestion, said comlplalnls were unceasingly made about the want of proper accommodation at the wharf at present used. The in- tercourse between both sides of the i-Illlsbccough had now become very extensive; a large section of the population. living on both sides. were interested in keeping up an in- tercourse as free from obstruction as possible,

Mr. Douse objected to the Hon. Secretalryis proposal to build B wharf on the flats of East River. at a place where, if it were not protected on the outside. the ice in the spring of the year would sweep it away. He advocated the ferry landing at either Messrs. R.eddl.n's or Peoke's wharves, as be- ing more economical.

Hon. Mr. Palmer said that Prince Street had the advantage of be- ing directly opposlte the ferry on the other side. It had been object- ed that it was not sufficiently scl- jacent to the places of business. but the establishment of the landing there would speedily attract busi- ness to the locality. The ferry boat plying at Prince Street would have the additional advantage of being free from the delays which arose from vessels tacking and changing their , sltlons near the western wharves. Mr. Rieddi.n's offer, though at first it appeared economical. would on examination be -found not to be so. The rent he asked was equal to the interest of 2700 or woo, and the difference between thpt and the estimated amount for the new wharf was really not very material when it was considered that the Government would have full control.

0 I I

I-Ion. Mr. Wlghtmon said he had heard that Mr. Peaks had offered a site between Mr. Tremsinu wharf and the old steam Mill, which he considered 1 very suitable place. If it were not accepted he would vote in favour of Great George street. A wharf It the end of Prince street would be very much exposed; noth- ing could withstand the run of ice in the spring of the year. It would. moreover, involve the necessity of building so or loo not more than would be required at Great George street. and they should consider wllethcr they would give 21.400 or 11.500 for 5 work liable to be ost- rled sway at any moment.

The Colonial Treasurer, (I-Ion. before many years it was prob- able that the Hlllsborough would be bridged. The stone wharf sug- gested by Mr. You would cost s very large sum, and would not be more secure from worms than a structure of cedar.

Mir. McIntosh thought the dis- tance between Great George and Prince streets was not worthy of consideration. Prince street was central, and it was but fair to let the eastern section of the city particl- pnte in the trade of the country people. Younger members than he might probably see a bridge across the I-lillsborough.

After fulrther discussion. I-Ion. Mr. Wightman moved an amend- ment, substituting Great George for Prince street. This was lost on the following division: Ayes -I-Ion. Messrs. Montgomery. Wightxnsn, Mooney. Messrrs. McDonald, Douse, Yeo, Laird. McGi1l and Cooper -9. Nays - I-Ions. Col. Secretary. Col. Treasurer, Mr. Palmer. Mr. Long- worth, Mr. Whelsn. Messrs. Havi- land, Dingwell. Munro, Mull:-head and Clark - 10. The House went into committee of supply. when a resolution was passed appropriat- ing a sum sufficient to build the wharf at the front of Prince Street.
