CANNING INDUSTRY PROSPECTS

Bun-It ls pleasing to have Mr. Humphrey admit lh his letter in Thursday's Guardian that he was incorrect. in his first letter in say- ing that thej-Ilghgatc Canning fac- ‘tory in Ontario was the permanent l failure that he pictured n, and that it. has been dosed down temporarily simply because of the depression. In the United States thousands of factories of one kind and another have had to close their doors since 1930. On the other hand, Canning South of the line has stead alone as the only in- dustry of any importance that has grown in number and size of the factories. and in profit. making during the past six years. Mr. Humphrey evidently be- lieves in following the line of least resistance and of using all his best endeavour to do nothing himself and to prevent everyone else from making n constructive attempt. to solve the all important problems 01' Dmvfding work for the unem- Dlﬁwd and of rendering farming and fishing more profitable. Perhaps Mr, Humphrey will tel] readers of the Guardaln how he would overcome these difficulties. Provincial taxes are admittedly I0\v and. by doubling them. those on relief might be assisted materi- ally. hilt the do‘e robs them of their self-rczpect and morale. It's up to Mr. Humphrey. Let us have the result of hls wisdom, I om, Sir. etc.

________ TRUCK AND TRANSFER TAXES

Sir.-It is with much regret that we learn of the enormous increase in the regrtrntion fees for truckg and transfers for this season. It; Ls evident that. the farmer and the labourer again tnust bear the brunt 07 U"? present Government's con- tinual litcieased taxation, for this particular tax no doubt: boils right down to the former who in the past

".2 been using the transfer exten-

dlffercnt shipping points along the railroad, therefore saving timedn the fall of the year" when time means so much on n farm, moreover very often giving him the opportunity of getting his produce on the market at. a time when the price is at. its best. For example take a farmer living 8 or 9 miles from York Station; he has one t.hou=and bushels of turnips ready for the market- The best he can

and in order to carry seventy five bushels per trip, he must have a good team of horses and a heavy wagon. The very best he can do is land 150 bushels of_ his lhctisand at York station in one day, and in order to get his llIOlLBIlCl bushels on board the c r" at. York, he loses sh: m" nor.- days,

Oh (‘to oihri- ltnnd if he uses n truck Pﬂl'l'_\‘l‘\l‘_ 22.’) bus. pct" trip it is only the lllililf‘? of a day's haul- ing and he hm. the use of his tram of horses nt. llClII!‘ to plow or what- ‘ever he wisllr: to do with them. and l.l'l.llEX'l1l0I‘€ it is of great benefit to the railroad. that one 2-t0n truck h-‘nllitg potatcc". or turnips this distance can keep one railroad cor a riay rolling from York to the export; shed at; Char- lottetown. Otherwise hauling by team would keep n reefer car on the siding for days waiting to be loaded.

Now I think I have pointed out to some extent the benefit of the transfer to the farmer. and for this reason I have no doubt that the

will agree with me in saying that the present; scale of taxation is out of all bounds. I do not hesitate in saying that the truck pays more tax than any other vehicle travel- ling on the road. To use 15 gallons per day is only cuisldered a falr day's work on a good road. Al: 8 cents tax this would contribute $1.20 per any to the Government. This is only the minimum; the maximum might. run as high as 27 gallons per day. So we have lt that a man owning a truck that carries a five- ton load contributes over $300.00 I for a sctron which does not exceed 8 months, or three trucks carrying five ton each would contribute dlr- ectly to the Govemment in a tax well over one thousand dollars. Part of this comes directly to the Government ln the form of a check from the oil company to the Bank of Montreal, and the collect- ing of this does not cost the Gov- ernment one rcd cent. '

It is qulte evident that the Gov- ernment ls trying hard to deprive truck drivers of a llvlng. Under these conditions if a man should be fortunate enough to rake the price of a lloene. he must in order to live raise the price of frelghtlng. And who docs this effect? The poor old farmer who is already over- burdened with taxes!

So in conclusion I say. let. the farmer. merchant and truck owner get together and try and have this enormous tnxntlon adjusted with the Government.

=The Decadence Of Reading

"Reading is one of our bad habits." says Aldous Huxley. in the most striking of the essays 1n- cluded in his new round-up, "The Olive Tree". “We read, most of the time, not because we wish to instruct ourselves, not. because we long to have our feelings touched and our imagination fired, but... because we have time to spare" and have lost the fine art of do- lng nothing. We are in a. hurry: our notion of time is a collection of minutes, we have lost. the sense of seasons but think we must do something every minute. So we turn to that “doughy. woolly anodyne writing that. exists mere- ly to klll time and prevent thought- to deaden and diffuse emotion... an addiction, like cigarette smok- lng." Aldous Huxley, writer, is dgppessed by the unlmportance of writers today. Being themselves professional writers, he says, his- torians are prone 0o exaggerate the significance of literature. They devote their pages to analyses 0! different political and economic theories. lightly concluding that. the writings of men have had a more or less decisive influence

upon the course of history. But where ls the evidence of it? “Today most of us resemble

Modern science has destroyed thc ancient prestige of those classics upon which the contmon culture and common understanding of all Europe was based: fl: has set no new magic in their place. The in- stinctive desire to worship persists; but science has inadvertently con- verted the world from monothelsm to local idolntries.

it deals with quantities. not qual- ities; and its words are arranged without art. And information is devoured without digestion. “There must. be many people who. once having escaped from school or the university. never" rend anything wrlth concentration or more than once. They have no verbals props to shore against their ruins. Nor, indeed, do they need any props.
