How many, many times in my years as a newsrpapermran lhave I heard those or similar expi-eSSions used? Several thousands, at a safe years a heard t‘. used? E estimate And how many, many Limes/have I seen 'cxpenditures authorized be- cause the sponsors thereof were able to assure the spending body that “the province will take care of half of the expense.” ‘ Why is it, I wonder, that those magic words séem to have the powâ€" er to make people believe that, be- cause a senior governmental body is providing some of the needed funds, the cost to them of any project is lessened by the amount contributed by such senior body? It's a magic formula which dulls the perceptions and, apparently miraculously, solves financial problems because the money comes from somewhere else â€"â€" not directly out of the pockets of those who want new roads, new schools, new recreational centres, or what- ever the particular project may call The plain, cold fact remains that whatever governing bodies may con- tribute part of the expenses or cost of any particular scheme, in the final analysis the money comes from the pockets of the individual taxpayers. ever for. Take, as a simple example, the cost of o'ldvage pensions -â€" one of the most worthy of the social reâ€" forms ever brought into being in this or any other country. The cost, ‘as everyone knows, is divided be- tween different government bodies. But let’s stop kidding ourselves. In the final analysis every cent of every dollar given to those whose welfare is our responsibility comes‘ from the pockets of the taxpayers of Canada no matter through ,what channels it travels to reach the ultimate conâ€" signee. No Secret Gold Mine Neither federal or provincial gov- ernments have any hidden “pot of gold” by which they can hand out l-arg‘esse to the claimants for old age pensions, the school boards who wish to erect a new building, the munic- ipality which wants to cut a new road, or any of the thousand and one endeavours calling for the ex- penditure of public funds. Their in- comes‘are derived. from the same sources as those of our municipali- ties â€" through taxation. True that in many cases it is hid- den taxation. It hasn’t the same personal and telling impact as the tax bills that “Curly” Lynctt and comparable civic officials send out. But it’s there just the same. It’s concealed in the cost of every article for which the ultimate con- sumer pays â€" that is, every article subject to taxation â€" and just try to think quickly of half a dozen that aren’t in some way or other. It's camouflaged in every licence. It's hidden in every grocery bill. But it‘s there just the same, this amount that Dominion or provincial govern- ments contribute to public projects of one type or another, and it’s paid by the consumer. ' Of course it must; be remembered that said federal and provincial govv ernments hlave sources of income. through our system of the division of taxing powers, which enable them to collect money in fields not open to, for instance, the township of Markham. The province will pay half the E. J. ROBERTS, RADIAL STATION Phone 177 Skinny men, women gain 5,1_0,_ 15 lbs. ' mm a thrill!

Vim, Vigor From The Hilltop A COLUMN OF VIEWS AND OBSERVATIONS (By F. J. Picking) time and the processes of evolution can better it. But, I assert, again, we are only fooling ourselves when we halve or quarter the cost of an undertaking because some other government con- tributes OUR money to it. ried It seems to me that a realization of that plain, simple truth might have a, steadying effect upon those applicants who blithely propose ex- penditures because “the Dominion government pays half." There’s no reason why sound, jus- tifiable projects should be- halted for that reason. But it would be quite a unique experience to hear some public official ask â€"â€" “Who pays it?” and” then answer himsef and the ap- plicant by saying â€" “WE do." REV. T. K. CHIU ADDRESSES \\'.M.S. SECTIONAL MEETING Rev. T. K. Chiu, a third generation Christian and a son of the Manse, was guest speaker at the 34th An- nual Meeting of Section IV, Toronto Presbyterial, ‘held on Tuesday. May 31st in Westminster Presbyterian Church, Willowdale. He was educated at Fukien Christian University and Theological training at Cheshunt College, Cambridge, England. Mr. and Mrs. Chiu are working for the Church of Christ in China, serving as minister at Kunming, Yunnan Mission, and are spending their fur- lough in Canada having spent seven years in‘ the field. Rev. Chiu told of the problems confronting the Christians in China today under the unsettled conditions. He also spoke of the theme “Behold I have set before thee an open door” which was also the theme of the first Christian Conference in China after the cessation of hostilities with Jaâ€" pan He said doors that were open then have been closed but there is still before the Christians in China a door which is Open, but which offers a much different kind of opportunity. Rev. Chili delighted those with his singing of severa hymns used by the Christi China, singing: them first in and then in Chinese. Some sixty delegates were present from nine auxiliaries. Reports show- ed all auxiliaries were active in the work and optimistic for the future. Mrs. A. Curr, president of Toron- to Presbyterial brought an inspira- tional message, also speaking from the theme. We extend to Mrs. Lloyd of her father, ton.
