bllClAl A“ Lunv yLLULu v -vwv.-v -_ V V The extent of the tax burden in this country demands that the cost of government should be reduced. The log- ical place to start is by abolishing the County Council. which as a part‘ of our governing system can be dispensed with, Without any loss in service to the people, and with a saving to the taxpayers. There are few if any functions of County Council which could not be more efficiently and more economically administered by the provincial govern- ment and the township or town council. ‘ u .1 '11 ALLUJLU uuu an“, uv . - . . v . . . r. - County Councils are onWay out, and there will be no mourning of the taxpayers when the end comes. Commenting editorially on the proposal to abolish County Councils the Globe and Mail says that opposition already expressed to the suggestion is easily understand- able from a personal View. “But it is not a matter to be decided on personal grounds. It is purely and simply a question of what can be done to remedy a governmental system already lopsided from overexpansion and which is becoming less and less efficient in proportion to its ever- increasing cost. A. . n. u 0-" , J “It may be true that the County Councils fill a need as things exist. But this is no logical explanation of why they should be continued if a better system can be found. Arguments of civil rights, proper representation, cries of Haitlerism, and so on. cannot hold up under any reason- able, unbiased analysis. The County Council, for example, is an administration superimposed on a collection of town-v ships, each of which is adequately represented. What is there in its relationships with them that cannot be handled more efficiently and less expensively by co-ordination under the various Departments of the Provincial Government ?" A CONTENTIOUS QUESTION ’ To-day the matter of sweepstakes for Ontario Will be dealt with by the Government and the matter has attract- ed considerable attention with opinion vastly varied. In Newmarket a goodly number, we imagine, would favour an Ontario Hospital Sweep as in the past three years near- ly thirty-five thousand dollars has been won by three local citizens from the Irish. Sweep. Of course this might not happen again in a thousand years and yet again it might repeat on the June lst Sweep, tickets which are now being offered for sale. The attitude taken by many is that peo- ple will buy the tickets anyway, so why not help institu- tions at home instead of sending our good Canadian dol- lars across the seas. It has also been pointed out that, while certain gentle- men (and we do not refer to the clergy) will condone the stock market and various other lotteries, they raise their hands in horror at the thought of an Ontario Sweep. The debate to-day will be hot, and no matter what the result, one faction the pros or cons will be greatly disappointed. In any event, you will still secretly or otherwise be able to send your money to Ireland.â€"Newmarket Express-Herald. TOURIST INDUSTRY Tourist expenditures in Canada last year showed an increase of 18 per cent., while expenditures of Canadian tourists abroad advanced 15%. According to preliminary figures the expenditures of tourists in Canada are esti~ mated at $295,000,000 in 1937 as compared with $249,- 000,000 in 1936. On the same comparison, expenditures of Canadians travelling abroad rose from $107,000,000 to $123,000,000. The tourist industry, ranking with the larg- est in the Dominion, should have special consideration from governments and citizens alike. That in Ontario during 1937 approximatelyUSOO peo- ple were killed‘by street and highway a'ccidents gamed by motor vehicles? Over a long period of years vocated the abolition of County have many times stated in thes viction that the County Council These accidents have injured between 12,000 and 513,- 000 men, women and children? , Ontario’s economic loss occasioned thereby reached the astounding total-of $40,000,000? Lt.-Col. W. P. Mulock, M.P., for North York, is one of those mentioned to succeed as Postmaster-General, Hon. J. C. Elliott, who may be forced to give up his Cabinet post because of illness. It might be fitting that a grandson of Sir William Mulock, who, as Postmaster-General in the Laurier Government introduced twoâ€"cent postage, should occupy the same office in the King Governmentâ€"Barrie Examiner. An interesting question is raised by Brown’s Weekly. The United States National Research Council has disoov. ered that auto drivers between the ages of 18 and 22 kill, twice as many persons in proportion to their numbers as all other drivers combined. They are also the group most frequently arrested for speeding and reckless driving. Possibly. suggests our contemporary. we should raise the age limits for drivers somewhat considerably.
