The final results of the Dominion Marksman Miniature Rifle League in which lcprcscntatlvc teams from various Rifle Clubs through- out the Dominion and Newfound- land eagerly contend each year, have Just been announced and clearly show the high degree of marksmanship to be found in Can- ada. The interest shown in this annual competition was even great- er this year than before, and it has proved to be a. contributing cause to the fact that Canadians are n.ow recognized through the length and breadth of the British Empire as shooters of first-class ability. Under the rules of the League, each competing (cam is composed of seven bana-fide members of the Rifle Club they represent, but only the five high scores are counted for the team total. Evcry team fires three matches, one eoch in January February, and March. The range is optional at 20 or 25 yards, and any rific of .22 calibre l5 permitted. The prone position is stipulated and supports of any kind are strictly forbidden.

Miss Car-roll said it was a great pri- vllege to have known the young man. Many, she said, were touched with the sincerity of his messages, and she said his sincerity impress- ed her the most. Clarence S. Far- num said that never, in contact, the past twenty-five years, with young people, had he known a sweeter soul, always good natured and full of fun, he was one upon whom people could depend for any duty or task. and the servant of the young people of the union. of the society of the church.

'I‘he great increase in the price of wool has lifted our major industry from a losing to a profitable basis. This adds largely to income, and. through the con- sequent increase in land values. in- creases stability of the debt struc- ture. The generally good condition of the pastoral districts shows pro- mise for the next season. and the psychological effect of this is im- cm 6- e high price of gold has re- suited in a marked addition to the Australian output. with accompany- ing additions to unemployment, both direct and indirect. Also. it stimulated the search for gold de- posits. making possible a notable revival of the industry. Unfortun- Itely. there are still some major difficulties to be sin-mounted. The wheat crop is about b0 million bu- shels less than last season's, and demand and price are poor. Butter production, h mm. tained at ahigh level, is being cal-- ricd on at a loss. with disturbing m- actions in all sections of the in- dustry. RAPID WOW; RBALIBATTONS In a review of the wool trade, DB-lsoty and Co. Lid. state that the results of the 1933-34 selling season have exceeded the eimectations of the "1053 OPf-lmistlc. There have been fluctuations in values of late, but these movements have been due almost entirely to the vagaries of the exchanges. The statistical position for the staple remains very sound, and the future can be view- ed with calm confidence. Price var- iations will occur from time w time, but the sheepmen have little to fear. For the seven months ended 31st January. sales of wool in Australia totalled 1.858.008 for a. cheque of 97,417,133. While the average value for lb. of greasy forthe months was l5.6d., it is noteworthy that the average for January was 109d. lb. For the whole of the 1932- 33 season Australia's wool cheque for sales in the Commonwealth was i336,043.054.

Ltd. which has a controlling interest in the Blue Star Line Ltd. wag a 016856118“ for Sydney in the llnel Oriord this month. Discussing the chilled meat trade. Sir Edmund Vessey said that the Blue Star Line would enter the Australian trade within a few months and that the first vessel would load cargo, m. eluding chilled beef, in october, l-la could not say yet which ship it would be or where it would load. "N0 ditllbt." he said, “Australia could produce chilled beef of qlml- ltv equal to that of the Argentine. It Will-only b6 a matter of time before the Australian product ls established on the London market. The development of this industry should be of immense importance to the cattle industry of Australia, and there is no doubt that it will Place it on a sound footing." has OOMJVIONWBALTH AND STATES As in the case o keen discussion the financial rights of the Com- monwealth and States. Australiai central government commands all fields of taxation. and it 15 able m accumulate surpluses to the amount of millions, while the States have corresponding deficits. The keenest complaints come from the thm smaller primary producing States- South Australia, West Austl-alu and Tasmania-m which the Com- monwealth Parliament has granted annually subsidies amounting m about l 3-4 millions. At the time of writing a conference of Fedora‘ and State Ministers is discussing a readjustment. The States ask that the commonwealth should withdraw from some pflrticuiar field of tax- ation, such as the income tax, or forgo revenue in some form suffi- cient to meet state needs. Tin Commonwealth Government is sym- pathetic. but it raises objection w the State proposals. It says that the State difficulties are only tem- porary. There is a strong feeling in favor of maintaining sovereign States irl order that government in domestic affairs may be kept close to the people. In a. continent like Australia, with an area of about i million square miles, it ls felt thal the centralisation of a domlncni power at Canberra would be a. grava mistake. The Labor Party, however, is in favor of a. dominant Com- monwealth. with provincial prov- inces (instead of States) exercising powers federally delegated to them. State administration, compared with the Commonwealth. is generally more economical. This matter i: merely one of difference between the one set of taxpayers. irl their Federal and state relationships and the contentions do not affect in any way the country's security and credit. Under the Financial ASTBE" ment. embodied ln the Constitutior with the consent of all parties a! well as the people, the Common- wealth is responsible for lllc public debts of each of the States, and neither Commonwealth nor state can pledge the public credit with- out the approval of the Lonn Colm- cil, representative of all the Gov- ernments.
