DAILY EDITION. CANADIAN MAGAZINES ASKING PROTECTION. Canadian Magazine publishers haTe a case before the Tariff Board asking for some measure of protection from what they term unjust and discriminator' competition of American magazines. While a duty on American magazines might not keep them out of the country an imposition of such might well be considered and there seems to be a good deal of virtue in the magazine publishers,' case. If you were a Canadian magazine publisher would you fight for justice and fair play and expect every Canadian to support your demand? Yes. They allege that they are compelled to pay duties, sales taxes. escape, and that the government virtually bonuses their competitor by leaving them free to compete without paying one cent of any of these taxes. These competitors, they say, have tremendous "natural advantages, because of their own home market, that greatly and unfairly handicap the Canadian productions, while practically every industry in the country is protected in some way against unfair. competition.

The magazine publishers of Canada constitute an 'industry which employs thousands of Canadian wwkaien, pays out hundred of thousands annually in wages, uses hundred of thousands of dollars of Canadian material and contributes handreds of thousands yearly to the public treasury. On the grounds of common justice. as well as on national grounds, these Canadian publishers ask that hJLEdHng two other Urge deals during the last two years and. In negotiating a deal on the Woodbine and Vancouver- Groups, has succeeded where others have failed. The Woodbine Group constats of the Woodbine. Kitchener, and Woodbine Fraction - claims, covering an area of Co. on their western boundaries. The locators and owners are Charles Lake and O. OXeary. two of the best known prospectors of the camp. The Vancouver Group consists of the Vancouver. Vancouver No. 1. Alaska Canadian Consolidated Fraction, and Premier Fraction No. 2 claims, with as area or 103 77 acres. This group Is owned by the Premier Extension Gold Mining Co, Ltd, and the Alaska Can- it be made possible for them to compete with foreign publishers in,un consolidated oow Mining Co. Ltd. their own market on a fair basis. Thfs is not now the case. 1 50111 companier are represented The industry undoubtedly suffers from unfair advantages ex- "r a Mf0uIr- utT managing tended to foreign publications coming into and circulated by the mil-'?rCWr lion in Canada. For instance, all the raw materials: paper, ink. en-! In 1922 these gravings, art work, etc are subject to sales tax and duties ranging from 10 to 25 per cent, while the United States publishers bring their finished product into Canada free of all duties, and import taxes. FLOOD OF FOREIGN MAGAZINES. The total circulation in Canada of United States magazines is over 50,000.000 copies yearly. For even- com? of raarazinM minted and produced in Canada, the Dominion import more than eight copies oi umieu aiaies magazines. Added to these figure-United States unij fiu reii-cnu newspapers are flooding Canada to the extent of between 15,000,000 and 20.000,000 copies annually. Together they reach the staggering total of 70,000.000 copies annually. More than 1,000.000 magazines, printed and edited in United States and cater ing to the tastes of readers in that country, enter Canada each week of the year. Striking proof of the seriousness of this competition is found in the discontinuance within the past few years of such Canadian publications as Canada Weekly, Canadian Courier. Woman's Centurv, Canadian Pictorial, Everywoman's World. VS. magazines are filled with advertising for the United States products, not Canadian. With 70,000,000 copies of these publications coming into Canada with over 4,400,000,000 pages of advertising, the volume of propaganda for U.S. products against those of the Canadian manufacturer is colossal. An anomaly in thi3 connection is this: if any American publisher ships to Canada pamphlets advertising his magazine, he pays fifteen cents per pound duty. On the magazine, itself, however, sometimes three parts full of advertising, he pays nothing. In several cases United States magazines are merely super-catalogues for manufacturers of patterns. Some of this group are issued by publishers whose chief source of revenue is pattern sales. Canadian publishers cannot absorb publishing deficits in pattern profits. i VS.' publishers, with their" larger purchasing power, are able to, and do, monopolize the work of many of the best authors and.ar-tists, withholding it from Canadian publishers by forbidding contributors to sell to Canadian magazines or newspapers. They are able, also, to crowd the Canadian product off our newsstands, off our ships and off our trains, making it always difficult, often impossible, for the home-produced publication to get equal service and display. WOMEN DEVELOP MUCH BENEFIT Given an equal opportunity, and freed from present handicaps, undoubtedly Canadian magazines would increase their sales and new Canadian magazines be developed. More Canadian pulp and paper would be used here instead of being shipped out of the country, more employment would be available for Canadians in different affected industries and the Canadin government would receive a mu-h larger revenue from potage and numerous other sources. And, through the development of Canadian industry, more magazine buyers would come to your newsstands. The development of Canadian magazines would give Canadian authors and artists a wider home market for their fiction, articles and illustrations. Publishers would be enabled by circulation increases to maintain their present subscription price, Unless they get relief, advances may be the only alternative. Newsdealers who may fear a reduction in?their sales and earnings, as a consequence of justice being granted to Canadian publishers, should take into account that Canadian publishers will naturally meet the demand with magatines that will be just as profitable to the distributor as the foreign publications he now selfe. furthermore, should United States publications find it necessary to increase their prices, the distributor will make a larger margin of profit on those copie h' dies sell, thus keenine for himself th. same earninp as now.Tli1s Is' Admitted by one of the largest dls-l mwwiwi a III scttaClUU ',,- A fair duty and stoles tax would not bar any United States magazines. It may reduce the sale somewhat but every dealer can keep up his profit by selling more Canadian magazines, newspapers, books, etc., and also develop greatly the sate of British and French magazines and newspapers. Some of the largest U.S. publishers have already considered plans for publication of their magazines in Canada If conditions make it advisable. If foreign publishers paid taxes, etc., in this country on the same basis as Canadian publishers, that is on the amount of business they do in Canada, it can easily be seen they would nour in several millions of dollars to the Canadian Exchequer. properties were bonded by Mr. McGutre to the Premier Exten-too Syndicate of Ottawa, of which the late -Foghorn" Matdonald. MI, was SB active associate. That syndicate or- ganteed the Premier Extension Gold Mining Co. Ltd-, with a capitalization f MXXMjOOO tn I5XW shares with a slew to developing the property. It had a first class board of directors, ccnslstlng of leading business men of Kew Vork City and Canada. On the board were Hon. H. H. Stevens. UP. for Vancouver, and Hon. E. Bristol. X.C MP., of Ottawa. LONIM1V INTEKOT The success of the Premier Mine, and Ute spectacular boota tn shares of B C Silver following its organization to taVe up holdings immediately north and south of the Premier, started sudden interest in London In mining properties at Portland Canal. An Eng lish engineer bonded for the Latllla interests the Daly Alaska, Forty-nine and others at high prices. The New Tork directors of Premier Extension conceived the idea of sending one of their number to London to dispose of ' Premier Extension for a large price. J. M. lies, a leading mining engineer of London, and the writer were retained to make a joint examination and re port. After a careful examination and survey of the property, including the tracing of the shear-zones and dykes northwesterly, through the toad and pipe-lln cuts and canyons of .the East and Main forks of Cascade Creek, on to the Woodbine-Vancouver Groups, they came to the conclusion that these pro- erties, with their similar geological characteristic, and the mineralization found on them fully warranted development with thf possibility of proving up ore-bodies of commercial value: and they so reported. Meantime the temporary excitement had died down: and In any case experienced mining men Ui London knew that success is not attained by the payment of Urge sums for .undeveloped prospects: but by development of ore in suncient quality in the first place and payment for it after its existence has been placed beyond doubt. The plans of the New York directors for a get-rlcb-quick scoop failed. Trouble en sued between the Ottawa and New Tork interests. Litigation resulted, and the property was tied up from development for two years. new nr.VELor.Mr.NT When the title was again cleared the property was examined by a number of mining engineers, representing leading companies, who all expressed favorable opinions concerning it. Mesntlme the owning compsnles carried on development in small way. The construction of the wagon road to the Indian Mine two years ago opened out the mineral cone in a striking manner and disclosed valuable ore in the fled Bluff. This ore was followed down by open cuts to a considerable dlsUnce below the elevation of the road. Other open cuts were made up the Red Bluff and Sack along the strike for a distance of 750 feet., ore being foand In all of them, and some of It very rich. Then a new drift was opened above the road. and run for a distance of JS feet. This work developed the best ore found on this part o? the property. From It 60 tons were piled on the dump and attracted the attention of all mining men who saw the showing, The result of this development prov-! : THE DAILY NEWS Ml; If .' i C ed most encouraging, suggesting a reserve of probable ore amounting to about 100.000 tons. Sampling for yal-ues gives an average of about 118 00 a ton.
