The world as a whole is pouring $4,000,000,000 a year into armaments. If it can afford that luxury, it can afford Whatever is necessary to insure the kind of “national de- fense” which Will safeguard helpless millions from destitu- tion and despair. To a starving man a crust is worth more than a cruiser. And men did starve in “civilized” countries last winter. If there is money for killing, there should be money for saving. Toâ€"day nations face losses graver than the taking of territory. The danger may be less apparent, but it is So great that communities and individuals should be galvan- ized into action to combat it with war-time energy and enthusiasm.â€"Christian Science Monitor. Recently the Hon. Leopold Macauley made an announce- ment that there would be no new highway construction this year, yet the Hon. William Finlayson told the Simcoe Coun- ty Council last week that $225,000 shouuld be spent on paving in this county in 1933. One wonders who deter- mines the policy of the Highways Department. The policy of governments spending more money than they have to spend is not wise, Mr. Arthur Brisbane com- ments: “Treating taxpayers as the ancient, nomadic Tar- tars treated their cattle cannot go on forever. The Tartars travelled slowly on their shaggy ponies, driving cows and oxen before them. When they wanted meat they cut a piece off the living animal, and the suffering animal was driven on. When from too much cutting it could walk no longer, it was slaughtered. “All cattle conld stand that for a little while.- None could stand it indefinitely. Governments will find that the taxpayers cannot stand the same treatment indefinitely either.” Business slows down when advertising is cut down. To secure the most profit out of any business it is necessary to stimulate a greater volume of business by newspaper advertising. A live business concern is ever alert to serve the public and assure satisfaction. There is always a greater degree of assurance accompanying purchasers from persistant advertisers. Their goods are moderately priced, good to look at, and give the service guaranteed. The buying public prefers to buy from those concerns Who tell through the printed page What they have to sell. Newspaper advertising can always be depended on to stim- ulate business because it commands attention. Newspaper advertising has a_ great guiding influence. It is a great help to both buyer and seller. Newspaper advertising is the surest method of at- tracting trade in business to-day. ‘ The printed word has a world of meaning to buyers. Those business concerns who have concentrated their selling efforts to persistent newspaper advertising have been able to increase turnover to such an extent that they can give greater value and receive increased profits, even in times of economic distress such as that of to-day. “In certain sections there is a demand for lighter clear- Iegged horses, big enough to do some work on the farm and also suitable for a certain amount of road work. The de- mand for hunters and saddlers compared with some prev- ious years is by no means keen, nevertheless the outstand- ing animals still find a market at a good price. The inter- est in the hunter and saddle horse, however, is apparently as keen as ever judging by the fact that htmt and riding clubs are increasing rather than decreasing even under present conditions. This goes to show that as conditions improve the demand for this type of horse will steadily In- crease. As it takes five years to develop a hunter and as there is a scarcity of them in the country to-day, the horse- man that continues to breed will be the fortunate one four or five years hence. The same holds true in the breeding of draught horses. The dmeand for horses for draught work is growing and will undoubtedly continue for some time owing to economic conditions. It is further safe to assume that to many it has been demonstrated that the horse is helping to keep dOWn the overhead under economic pressure and he_will also help to lessen operating costs in better times.” A paragraph of special interest to Canadian farmers appearing in the annual report of the Horse Division of the Live Stock Branch is quoted as follows: A declining tax rate is a valuable asset to a municipal- ity. Richmond Hill is fortunate that the decline has start- ed and it is gratifying that it is in the forties and not in the fifties. NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING SUREST METHOD OF ‘ ATTRACTIN G TRADE The council has demonstrated that they appreciate the difficult times and intend to give an economic administra- tion in tune with the ability of the ratepayers to pay. -We believe that they have taken the right stand and it is the duty of all ratepayers who approve of the reduction to do all possible to assist the council in keeping the expenditure within the amount estimated. The reduction means that the ratepayers cannot look for any expensive, new improve- ments during the year, and. when ratepayers ke any such requests it should be more in mind that impr ements cost money, and that every expenditure is reflected on the annual tax bill. Reeve Greene and members of the 1933 council are to commended for the tax reduction of five mills this year which will be heartily welcomed by the ratepayers. In "zese difficult times any reduction would have been Weiâ€" tomed, but a substantial cut of five mills is one which will make a material difference to every taxpayer in the muniâ€" cipality. To obtain the reduction the council has pared the estimates to the limit but at the same time it does not ap- pear that any department will suffer.
