CANCER DEATHS SHOW IN- GREASE BUT NOT LARGE

TORONTO. Jan. 26.-——"Thero is an increase in the number of re- cartled deaths from cancer," said

make a beginning than at federal| and provincial headquarters? it in notorious that the cost of govern- ments and parliaments ha! bcflll enormously and unreasonably Iu~| creased both bellore, during and since the war. In 1868 thorevellufi} and the expenditure 0f the D0- miuion were each about 13 mill-l ions of dollars and the federal taxes were not more than four dollars per bead.

Never since had we wiser or greater man in the councils of thB nation than we had than and these men served in the House of Commons for $600 each and in our Legislature for less than $200 each. And just in proportion as they were modest in regard to their own emoluments they were prudent and. careful as to the pub- lic expenditure and the burdens they imposed upon the people. Rigid economy was practised then and was little talked about. Today our politicians talk glibly and co- piously about economy and spend the public money, especially upoll themselves with a lavish hand.

We allknown how the indem- nity oil members lof Parliament- was increased, first from $60010; $1,000, then to $1,500 then to 52¢

500 and finally to $4,000 each. We» also know how the local members"

pay was boosted up fnoln a mod- est 9170 to $200 and then by a big jump in ‘i920 to $500 each. 1n the meantime, although our provincial government and legislature were shorn of half their powers by the Union Act, our provincial expeudi. tures have since increased three fold and our federal outlays from 13 millions to between 400 and s00‘ millions a year!

These increases in governmen- tal expenses and in tax burdens upon the people have been beyond all reason. They constitute a dls~ ease in the body politic which' threatens the future of the country and the very life of the nation. it began at the top, the seat of government and has infected the

entire public service. There lies the source and the primal cause
