W. P. Mulock, K.C., the: memiber for North York made an. appeal against the proposed increase in the price of radio licenses. i As reported in Hansard, Col. Mu-i lock spoke as follows: i “I fully realize the difficulty of‘ the minister in- administering this act, and I congratulate him upon: the improvement that has been made in radio generally throughout the cOun< try. But I should not be expressing the feelings of the people of my ridâ€" ing if I did not say that the in« crease in the license fee is, to say the least, not popular in the riding i of North York. We realize also that there are many districts which have not received the same advantages ‘from radio that Toronto and York and central Ontario have received. The people in our part of the coun- try find it difficult to see what ad- ditional benefit they are going to receive by reason of the increase in this tax. Realizing as I do the diffi- culty that people in various parts of the country are having, as mentionâ€" ed by the hon. member for Algoma West (Mr. Hamilton), and that they are not receiving any benefit at the present time from the broadcasting Icorporation, some consideration must certainly be given to those districts. Would it not be possible to do that without increasing the tax at the present time? Could this matter not be referred to the radio conimittee set up in the house, the personnel of which was announced to-d‘ay? 'People are having difficulty in pay- ing their taxes, and if it is humanly possible I would ask the minister not to raise any tax at the present I time.” Essentials, Unity; In Non-essggLiEIIS, Libertl; In ALT} A large audience enjoyed the an- nual public school oratorical contest held in the High School ‘Gym’ Tues~ day evening.
