SATURD-TY, SEPT. 23:91} A Well Fought Fight .- ‘lhe representatives of the seven Provinces dissenting from the Transport Board's ruling on the freight rates issue have scored a substantial victory in gaining this week a three-months de- lay in the hearings on the railway application for a new incrcase based on the recent wages boost This in effect is a reversal of the Board's previous attitude that flat-rate increases are equitable. Now thc Premiers of the dissenting Provinces aie preparing to do battle at Ottawa on Monday and Tuesday against the increase granted last March. They will appear before the Dominion Cabinet with a well prepared brief stressing the following chief points: 1. That the railways failed to establish fin- 2. That the board did not make full enough investigation into some claims of the railroads. 3. That the railways failed to show they had effected all possible economies through co-oper- etion between the two big systems. 4. That the board's formula for determin- ing the financial needs of the railways was an improper one. 5. That the board went beyond its jurisdic- tion in authorizing a flat percentage increase applicable across the country. The central issue, of course, is that 0n a flat-rate basis the Maritime and Western Prov- inces suffer most heavily from the payment of higher freight rates. A fairer arrangement would be the granting of a subsidy to the rail- ways to meet any necessary rising costs, but the Central Provinces object to this proposal on the ground that they would bear the greatest burden if the increased railway costs were met by taxation. The answer to that is the greater amount of'taxable wealth in those Provinces- wealth which has been drawn from all parts of the Dominion through a system of centralization of industry and commerce which has gone hand in hand with Confederation, and now threatens to destroy all that the Confederation Fathers labored to achieve in the way of national unity. The Liberal Premiers of the three Mari- time Provinces have fought shoulder to shoulder on this issue and have not hesitated to oppose their own party leaders at Ottawa in no un- certain terms. This is the most significant feat- ure of the case politically, and it is one on which they are to be wholeheartedly commended. Farmers’ Dollars Farmers‘ cash receipts for the first six months of i948, says an Ottawa dispatch, were $989,572,000 as compared with $742,626,000 and $636,244,000 for the some periods in 1947 and 1946 respectively. The farmer has earned that better position because he has done two grand iobs these past ten years. One is that of pro- duction; the other that of paying off debts. Today's dollars will not buy the same quan- tity of articles the farmer buys as the dollar would in i947 and i946 and very decidedly not as much as the dollar would buy before the war. But those dollars are just as good for pay- ing debts as they ever were. lndeed debts may never be repaid with cheaper dollars than this year. While living costs have gone up enorm- ously, debts are a fixed amount and so when a debt is paid today the payment represents a far smaller quantity of goods than it did before the war or when the debt was incurred. Moreover, as the Winnipeg Free Press points today paying dGlJlS Th0" it Wlll go buying any commodities. it may be that the price rise has reached its top or nearly so and that it will be followed by a decline. But the individual, whether farmer or wage level to pay clf debl: will be hurt for less curred new dcbt or who has spent his higher in- come without a due regard for the future. Canada By Famlllb; During the six years from the 194i census to June, 1947, the number of families in Can- ada increased by approximately 20 per cent. On the other hand, there was a decline in the aver- age size of the family. The estimated number of families in June last year was 3,042,000, which is an increase of 516,701 over the number re- corded in thc 1941 census. This gain is shared by all provinces, the increases ranging from 11 per cent for the Prairie Provinces to 37 per cent for British Columbia. For the Maritime Provinces the rise in number is estimated at 15 per cent; Quebec, 25 per cent; and Ontario, 18 per cent. ' Ontario had an estimated 1,073,000 fam- ilies consisting of 3,680,000 persons in June last year. Quebec hard 812,000 with an aggre- three Prairie ish Columbia, 293,000 families with a total of 966,000 persons; and the Maritime Provinces, 273,000 with 1,083,000 persons. Average size of Canadian families in 1947 at the 1941 census, the bureau estimates show- ln the Mari- time Provinces the average size declined from 4.2 in 1941 to 4.0 persons; in Quebec, from 4.5 inces,,from 4.0 to 3.7; and British Columbia, Due largely to the increase in marriages Providing they have been kept in proper stor- tions of families in 1947, as compared with 1941, consisted of two, three or four persons, and o resulting decrease was shown in the proportion with five or more persons. Seventy-five per cent of all families were composed in 1947 of two to four persons as compared with 70.8 per cent in 1941. EDITORIAL NOTES The relief of Lucknow this date 1857.

I I e r The United Church, being short of 405 ministers, has decided by a 3 to 1 majority to admit "Conschis" to the full benefits of the Church's ministerial plan. No doubt the end, in this case, iustifies the means. Canada has as much to worry about in dwindling Commonwealth trade as has the United Kingdom. The success of Sir Stafford Cripps’ mission will mean much to the long term prosperity of this country. “I fi D Q One aspect of prices which might repay investigation by Ottawa's Prices Commission is the high cost of government. lf there is an in- dex figure it must make other increases look very moderate indeed. i a n n Would-be medical doctors are having a tough time.

"Representations have been made to Ottawa to put them on a quota basis, and if the Government docs relax its restric- tions this might happen any time.

Sacred White Kine Of Britain's North (Robert Parker in the Belfast Telegra pill In the seclusion of a larfie estate in the peaceful border country 1n the North of England, the last of the ancient breed of cattle are struggling for survival. They are the famous British white cattle. and are dir€ctly descended frrm the herds which existed even b8- fore the Romans invaded Britain The "British Whites" as they are called, were the-nselves the descendants of the ancient au- rovhs, the great wild oxen of pre- historic days, which roamed Europe and Asia in vast herds. until well info the Christian are.‘ It. is these oxen which are men- tioned several times in the Old Testament. They were black ln color and the story of how their British descendants came to be all white -—cxcept for the tips of the horns -lias been pleird together by historians and naturalists. It appears that the ourochs. like most other "colored" creatures. occasionally produced albino off- spring. These white freaks. were probably regarded with awe by the superstitious Britons. and, as the Druldlc religion developed, the whit-e cattle were adopted by the priests and were worshipped as sacred animals. 0f the calves of these white cattle not. all were while, but those that: were not must have been carefully weeded‘ out until the all-white strain he- caitie predrmlnant.
