Beyond all question the most potent creator of business demands in Canada is the newspaper advertisement. Milli- ons upon millions of dollars are expended every day in the Paying for the past World War has proven a burden to every nation that participated in that struggle, but Canadi- ans should consider themselves fortunate in the matter of taxes as they have been steadily decreasing. This, howâ€" ever, is not the case in Great Britain for the government in the old land recently announced increases in the income tax “hich brings it to 22 1ré per cent. RICHMOND HILL FAIR The eighty-first annual fair of the Richmond Hill Agri- cultural Society will be held on Saturday, May 24th. It is an institution which is part and parcel of the life of this community and even the oldest resident can not recall when there was no such thing as the Richmond Hill Fair. An in- stitution with such a history and an institution such as the Richmond Hill Agricultural Society which aims at fostering all that is best in the community is surely worthy of the best support and co-operation which the people of the community can give. The ofl‘icers, directors and members of the society are rendering a notable public service and give freely of their time and energy without any other remuneration than the satisfaction of doing something for the public welfare. The Richmond Hill Fair is wOrthy of your support and we are sure that such support and patronage will be evident this year as it has in years gone by. Deeper reasons than just a desire for another holiday lie behind'the general observance throughout the Dominion cf Canada of the anniversary of the birth of Queen Victoria. This is not just another holiday, a meaningless observance. T he influence of the beloved Queen who for so many years presided over the destinies of the Empire has left an indeâ€" lible mark on our national life and treated for herself a last- ing place in the history of this country. It is well that the British Empire should pause to do honor to her memory. Confiscation of cars involved in liquor cases is now be- ing urged in some localities. This would mean that the owner of a car, if it was used by a drinking party, would stand a chance of losing it. There is no room for drunken drivers on the highways today, and any penalty that can put them Where they belong, would not be too severe. The delay in the car service means dollars and cents to every interested ratepayer in the north Yonge Street dis- trict. The people of this district are in earnest in their de- mand for a car service. The people intend to see that their wishes are carried out. Who or what is standing in the way of the operation of a car service? Whoever it is had better stand aside be- fore it is too late to do the sidestepping gracefully. No influences other than THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE DISTRICT should be considered in the transportation problem. The people have spoken and the councils should act; or tell the people who is standing in the way. OF THE PEOPLE EXPRESSED SO UNANIMOUSLY AT THE POLLS AND THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE NOR- TH YONGE STREET DISTRICT SHOULD TAKE PRECE- DENCE OVER RED TAPE AND CHEAP POLITICAL JOCKEYING IN REGARD TO TRANSPORTATION ON YONGE STREET. Delay is costly and it is the people of the North Yonge Street district who will pay. A car service for the people of this district is of more importance than anybody’s political neck. The apparent delay in carrying out the mandate of the people to secure a car service on Yonge Street is costly to the North Yonge Street district. It is proposed that the people purchase the line and if the purchase is held up much longer the cream of a good summer traffic Will be lost. The dang- er to public safety of the continued operation of the busses in the heavy summer traffic may be costly in a needless sac- rifice of human life and property. The inconvenience of travelling in the hot summer months in the present unsatis- factory and over crowded bus service with all its attendant undesirable features is something which the people of the North Yonge Street district did not vote for and something which they should not be forced to endure. THE WILL The people with their ballots gaVe a clear and unmis- takeable mandate and that mandate is to get a CAR SERV- ICE ON YONGE STREET. The 1336 property owners who voted for the bylaw and hundreds of others in the North Yonge Street who did not have a vote on the bylaw but who are vitally interested are asking one question and that is “WHY THE DELAY?” The vote ‘of the people was so unanimous as to remove any doubt which may have existed as to where the people stand on the transportation question. The people want a car service. The people voted for a car service and if we are not badly mistaken they voted to have a car service NOW not next winter or a year from now. WHY THE DELAY? It is nearly three weeks since the ratepayers of the North Yonge Street district in the municipalities of North York, Markham, Vaughan and Richmond Hill voted by an overwhelming majority to authorize the municipal councils to proceed with the purchase and operation of a car service on Yonge Street to Richmond Hill. Why the delay in thercarr service? Who is holding up the people’s car service? PAGE TWO J.

The MILL Freight & Cartage Service Richmond Hill Fair Notes IHE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO It is not the current news of events alone that makes the press of such incalculable value to the nation, nor the tree editorial expression of opinion. The business news of the day, as told by business concerns in their announcements to the public, decisively influences both the volume and the direction of trade which flows to this or that store, ofl‘ice or bank. This is a fundamental fact no business house can af- ford to overlook. Res. 82-W Licensed Carrier Richmond Hill The largest stores in our greatest cities have been built up by their advertising, their persistent and clever invitat- ion to the public in the press to share in their bargains. Im- agine what would happen to daily sales of merchandise, real estate, theatre tickets, insurance, books and other things, if newspaper advertisements were prohibited by law for six months. It is not exaggeration to say that they would drop 5.0 per cent. stores of the Dominion because well written advertisements have directed public attention to convenient, becoming, at- tractive, useful, ornamental and suitable merchandise. The sale of all necessities, all luxuries, all indulgences, is more powerfully stimulated by the newspaper advertisement than by any other agency. Only hunger, cold and nakedness are comparable to the advertisement as a promoter of salesâ€" and even purchases of food, fuel and clothing are directed more largely by the business columns of the press than by any other influence except immediate necessity.
