ASSEMBLY DISCUSS RADICAL CHANG! m OIIUIDH GOVERNMENT MONTREAL, Oct. s-wlll the Gflrsl Assembly bs shorn of some of its executive administrative powers? This is s, question will lsltsts the minds of the mem- bers of the Presbyterian Synod of Ottawa when it meets in Smith's Falls, Ontario, next week for tbs annual session. cg 5r S 3'5 8 § 8 S ininn to tip radical nature of E???’ g: this question will probably in interest when representatives mine together out their lroblems. question of an sa- of powers of this body. which has been more of a discus- sion than legislativs one, has been 55?"? General Assembly of the Church, -when the proposition was brought before it this summer, sent it back to the Synods for further consider- ation, and now the Montreal and Ottawa Synod will have their first opportunity to express themselves after the Assembly's handling of the question. 1t went to the As- sembly in the form of an overture from the local Synod. From the point of view of econ- omy, of suitability as to size, and tbs fact that the personnel of the ministerial members is much more constant than that of the General Assembly, it is srguéd that the Synods are well adapted in various respects to take the larger‘ part in the executive administration of the Chllrclrs work, and on this basis it is likely that the Rev. Dr. Allan Reid, clerk of the Synod and sec- rotary of local Presbytery, will launch the main arguments for the change at the lorthooming Synod meet‘ , in a few days. He was a protagonist of this overture at the last Assembly. As a detail in the general scheme Dr. Reid will maintain that all paid officials of the church, having at- tained the age cf 70 years, be now retired with such provision as the General Assembly may find advis- able snd possible to make; also that a small executive committee be appointed which shall conduct the won: of the General Assembly between its tinsfl. with the ex- tho pension fund; and that this committee be tarnished with a secretary, who shall givs_. special attention to the Foreign Mission work‘ and who, with two "clerical helpers, shall be the entire staff employ“. in the central office of the Church. ‘the Pension Fund should be retained under a separ- ate Board. which shall appoint its own secretary. In addition to this it is held by Dr. Reid that the office space and rental should be reduced to cor- respond to the reduction in staff as already M99099!!- MBET EVERY TWO YEARS In conformity with this whole move to reduce the Assembly is his prop05fl to have-the General As- sembly meet after 1995 only bi- annually, instead of annually as at present. What is sought in this movs to- ward decentralization is a measure granting that upon each of the Synods, in oo-operation with their Prssbyteries, shall rest the full re- sponsibility for administering the Home Mission work within its bounds, and that financial provi- sion, be made for this by the dif- ferent Syrlods tainin a certain percentage of the budget money raised within its bounds each year; the” w. entages to be determined by the General Assembly for each Synod according to the contribut- ing ability of each, and the Home Missions required within each; it being clearly understood that where the Missionary glvfngs in any Sy- nod cannot be expected to meet its Home Mission requirements, a grant will be available for the Synod from the Assembly's budget fund. Also shall rest upon tbs Synod, in co-operation with the Presby- tery, the responsibility of raising the budget of the 'church according to the allocations made to each by the General Assembly, as well as the full responsibility of supervis- ing, maintaining and extending the work of the church in ah respects within their bounds. It is understood that this en- largement of Synodical powers is f ‘ also in the west and one Presbytery, that of Saskatchewan, has formally advocated this in an overture to the General Assembly this ysar- - The position oi the nev. Dr. Reid, after travelling some 60,000 miles in I) months investigating the church's work, will be presented nest week, including his recom- mendation that the chluch is spending far too much of the bud- gst rsvenus on the central office, on overhead and fixed expenditure, and that the work could be dons with fsr less expense and with far greater efficiency by. spreading it enlisting the voluntary services o! the ministers and elders. ASK WIDIB POWER. It is contended that this principle is actually in force and hss never been rescinded, and. as fur lisck as 1910, it was applied to the Western Synods by resolution of the Gen- srsi Assembly. Now it is a general application that is soug t for s principle accepted by th Presby- terian Church prior to the United Churdl coming into being.

Railway Vital ~ Factor in Internal Economy Canada stands third in the list 0! countries having the greatest railway mileage. 'I'hs United States heads the list with 246.829 miles. Russia has 47,974, Canada 4.2.9110, mdia 80,821, Francs 89.550, Germ- any 86,404, Australia and New Zealand 30.821. qreat Britain in- cluding lreland 24.414, Argentina 28,756, Brazil 19,720, Japan 17,960, Mexico 16,443, Poland 13,406, Italy 19,049. Union. of South Africa 12,- 602. Sweden 10.446, Spain 10.187. Just what the railway industry means in the internal economy of a country is strikingly set out by recent figures for United States railways. In 1999 the total payroll was 81.406.881.004. paid t0 970,898 employees. Lu 1933 the total payroll was 1,047,097 employees to whom were paid $1,469,394. in wages. If the demands of traffic had le- quired the same number of employ- ees as in 1916 there would have been paid out irl wages the stupen- dous sum of around 3,271,702,262. The average annual wage paid in 1989 was $1,445.97 and in 1019 $891.61. Tile average number of hours worked per employee in 1938 was 2,900 and in 191d it was 3.151. nnchsses o! fuel and materials and supplies in 1933 fell off‘ more than half in the decade, amount- ing to a grand total of as compared with $1,739,709,000. in 1929. The fuel bill is the largest item. $180,526,000. being paid out in 1988. of which $151,293,000. was for coal. The railways are among the biggest coal users in the coun- try and the lessening of consump- tion by them as a result of loss of traffic is a serious thing for the coal mining industry. 1711s ap- plies particularly in Canada where other forms 0f fuel do not occupy the same relative position in the internal economy as does coal. The total property investment in 1993 was 915.942.000.000. The railways in order to miti- gate the losses due to the depres- sion and motor competition instit- uted economies which resulted in great savings, not only in fuel but in other lines. A reduction of 26 per cent in the amount of coal re- quired to move 1,000 tons of freight and equipment for a distance of one mile was made in 1933 in com- parison with 1922 and in the pas- senger train service a reduction of 15 per cent. Lou and damage ’claim were reduced from 91.11 per revenue ear lpaded in 1922 to .052 cents in 1983. In 1982 out of every revenue dol- lar 46o were paid in wages. 17-79 for materials and supplies. 9.00: in taxes (in 1916 it amounted to 4.87 cents), 5.4a for fuel, l.9c for loss and damage, injuries to persons and insurance. To show the extent to which mo- tor competition has grown, in 1919 come when there is little place left for the Synods. It is clear that the constitution of the church itself meant that the Synods should be Jitted for greater executive powers than they appear to possess today. Dr. Reid claims, pointing out that the Synod is s more democratic snd fully representative body than the General Assembly.
