Sensational Rise In Canadian ' Bank Stocks

(Special to the Guardian)

OTTAWA, Ont, April 16. -— The sensational rise in Canadian bank stocks is attributed in Government circles largely to the buying of a United States investment trust as-l scciation, which regards the securi- ties of the Canadian banks as gilt- cdged from an investment point of. view. ‘

It is also pointed out that Canadail is now embarked upon an era of ex-" pension and prosperity, and mar banks, industrial companies and‘

cf his contention that the average of ordinary drivers belonging to the province operated not more than 2.000 miles per season. and that therefore, inking into account tlie icduction in his registration fee of $1.50 he would only pay out $200 more iii gasoline tax-an increase of 50 cis. per year.

At present too. said Mr. Allen. thc llficc of gasoline is lower than it was last year.

The amount of money YBOEIViIfl from this province per year in taxcs is very little more than is required] to run Falconwoqd for a year. He did not commend the opposition for having reduced taxes while they were in office. and gave it as his opinion that the people would not object to paying higher taxes so long as the money was being ex- pended wisely. and for the benefit of the public.
