July 15, 1931 TAX ON WORKINGMEN One of Prince Rupert's prominent businessmen, who is not given to letter writing, suggested that one of the difficulties of making Canada an industrial country today was the fact that the cost of living was higher than in the neighboring country to the south. He spoke of a number of articles of general use that were much more expensive in Canada than in the United States, this being caused by the tariff. Many of the necessaries of modern life were pot grown in Canada and had to be imported. These all had to pay to the government at least one per cent duty apd four per cent sales tax, amounting in all to five per cent. In manufacturing centres where some benefit accrues from the extra employment brought about through the replacement of foreign manufacturers by home products, this import duty is not felt as much as it is in the west where the people benefit little from the duty yet all have to pay the extra charge. It was pointed out by the same person that it is the workingman who has to nay this import duty. Not one person escapes. Food and apparel cost more because the government takes toll on practically everything. '.'.. AUSTRALIA TREATY The new-treaty with Australia seems to be an improvement on the old one and Western Canada should benefit from it considerably. Lumber is one of the staple industries of the west and anything that will tend to improve the demand is worthy of support. The canned salmon market also is very important to this district. The Bennett Government serns to have made a good job of this treaty. We hope they will continue to do good work and that the policies they have initiated will work out to the advantage of the people. If they do not they will have to be changed. 18. ?h U HAVING CONFIDENCE Confidence is one of the great factors in civilization. In the old days groups of people had no confidence in each other so they tried to kill each other and wars were going on all the time. To be successful we must have confidence and we must inspire confidence. If we have no confidence in our country we cannot expect foreigners to have confidence in us. That seems to be the case in Germany today. Other countries remember how she debased hor currency by printing an unlimited quantity of bills and thus got rid of her debts. All are suspicious of her and now in her time of need there seem to be none ready to lend a helping hand. So It is necessary that we have confidence in our city. If we have not, how can we expect others to have confidence. The city is what the citizens make it. Finally and most important of all is it necessary for each person to have confidence in himself and his-wo'rk. If we are doubtful of our own ability to carry on we are bound to find the going difficult or perhaps impossible. Confidence is necessary. The moment we begin to doubt ourselves we begin to lose ground.

' An old negro applied for membership In an extremely exclusive church. But the bishop told the old man that his spiritual condition was not satisfactory and sent him home to pray. After a few days the petitioner again sought the minister and again the bishop said that he was unsatisfied and recommended the darkey to prayer. But the next' day back came the old pan, hlv face shining. ' j "Well." said the bishop. "How Is Jt with you. Sambo?"

As the walls are of frame construction with stucco finish, the house Is reasonable to buUd. It can, of course, be constructed of hollow tile, concrete blocks or brick with; stucco over, if so desired.

As there Is no dining room in the house, a large breakfast nook Is provided, which, owing to iU eon yenlent position and size will adequately fill the place of a dining room. The convenience of the pantry with ample shelves, cupboards and islnk will allow much of the work of preparing meals to be done in it, sn leave the kitchen free and opn j ' for other work.

Along with funda mental simplicity jf manufacture, however, there are c amputated aspects of design, expensive machinery, and high priced workmen. From the householder's point cf view, linoleum Is divided Into two great classes inlaid and printed Injald is further divided Into many classes, but fee essential feature of all Is that the pa turn extends through the cork clear to the burlap backing. That Is, color It mixed with the aoj k compound and the mixture 13 pretted Into burlap under tre mendous weight. Inlaid linoleum is therefore the most durable type. Printed linoleum is composed of a layer of oxidlied linseed oil and i powdered cork ovtr burlap, the de sign printed on the surface by sue cesslve layers of oil cola If the sur face is protected by wax or lacquer so mat tne wear does not fall directly on the printed colors, the design will last Indefinitely.
