Canadians and Americans visit.-

ing England and countries on the Continent are i.mpi'e.~§ed with the relative scarcity of private automo- biles on the streets and the high- ways and with the manifest fact that they are the possessions main- ly of persons of obvious means. An inquiry conducted by one of the. London newspapers into the amount of earnings necessary be- fore a resident of England can af- ford to keep an automobile estab- ll.she.s clear.y the reason why they are not the property of large num- bers of citizens t.here_ as .is the case ln this country and still more in the United States. An owner of an automobile ln England, the inquiry finds. must have a minimum income of $2,000 a year. The reason is not to be found in the cost of the car but. in taxes. When an Englishman pays $100 or more a year to regis- ter a car, even the cheapest, and eighteen cents a gallon for gasoline, together with his other taxes, he has taken a substantial cut out of his income. - Kingston Whig- Standard.

War Veterans And Relief

(Butterfield in Vancouver Province)

There is a. report. from ottawa

the placing on the Domlnton relief mils of all war veterans in the

assistance. It ts undoubtedly ii. good thing ln Itself but lt ls un-

of war veterans in the non-pension class to be placed upon Dominion

ing relief to be placed on those rolls.

if, an theother hand, such

veterans as the report includes have, since the war, developed disabilities that may even dls. trmtly be traced to their war service. they are morally entitled to a. consideration of their claim to receive a. pension and not only to receive a. pension but to have lt made retroactive.

Not without, ctmslderalble interest,

in canada. and ln Particular ln these Maritime Provinces, is it re- cent report adopted by the New Ycrk State Chamber of oommeerce. The \‘°P°l1 was presented as the result of the consideration of two committees on the spending of Eovemment funds for the canal‘z- lllB of the St. Lawrence and the constriiction oil' a. water-way con- necting Monti-eal with the Hudson River. "Both wrrmutbees reached the conclusdon that_expendi¢m~¢ of Dllbllc funds On the St. Lawrence was unwarranted. and recommend- ed that the United States Govern- ment should not pm-t¢i»paf,e 1-in U10 expenses of canellzatlon or of the development of power on the St. Lawrence."

‘_The report also weint on to state: Your Committee ls also oipp~s-

ed to a seaway which would extend from Montreal through lake Cllllmpllllh. Lake Gebrge, and con- nect with the Hudson River at Albany. Your Commtt.t.ee believed tlils project la also economically

The emeince of a suc- cessful sea route. namely. fre- ¢l\l¢ll¢Y md rofrularlty of galllngn. woul be lacking. The diversion of tmirmire from existing routes would be lhwflfoenf. to make the project prolltaldle. _
