“Klanord: b
MUNICIPAL power utilities in Nova- Scotia.
1V Canada, are to be taxed in the future on the
same basis as private utilities. The reason
that, in the words of Angus MacDonald, premier
of the province. is that “nothing is more unfair
than the way publicly-owned projects are exempt
from taxation, although they are carrying on the
same business as private concerns." The province.
Premier McDonald added, should be receiving
something like $75,000 a year in taxes from the
publicly-owned companies.
That should' arouse considerable interest in
this country particularly among those who have
regarded the Canadian public systems as model
enterprises, and have’ pointed with pride to the
low rates charged. As all students of the matter
know, these low rates have been the result of a
policy of indirect and direct subsidization. The
plants were largely built with tax money they
have been given immunity, from taxes and, in
many cases, additional doles of tax money have
been necessary to make up their recurrent
deficits.
What is true in Canada .is true to even a
larger extent in the United States. Tax immu-
nity for publicly-owned business enterprises has
no economic justification whatsoever*. It is purely
and simply a political device to conceal from the
people the real financial facts about the systems.
In effect, all the taxpawers must help pay the
bills of the few who are served by public systems.
And the cost to the general taxpayer, ini such
ventures as TVA, Bonneville, Grand Coulee, etc.,
runs into the hundreds of millions.
A law’ to tax publicly-owned utilities the same
as private companies has long been agitated in
this country. It has been supported by economists,
a large section of the press. responsiBie states-
men. and thinking citizens. With government
seeking tax revenue as never before, this vital
“reform" should be immediately- effected. The
advocates of tax immunity for any government
business enterprise haven't got a leg to stand on.

HAMILTON. Bermuda, Aug. 10
The Duchess of Windeor. who will

the Luke goes there to assume his
duties as governor, already has
proved of considerable aid to her
husband in the islands.
Throughout the long interview
they gave the press yesterday, the
Duke noticeably depended on the
Duchess for whispered promptings.
Both seemed amused at the open-
ing formality of reporters, who
had been coached carefully in the
proper form of address. The royal
couple soon set the interview on
such an informal ptana that few

WHY NOT VOLUNTEER?
A USEFUL suggestion has been offered by a
H reader to those members of congress who are
violently opposing selective military service,
dilating their favor for voluntary enlistment as
a substitute. The suggestion is that able-bodied
members of congress of military age prove their
faith in the enlistment plan by volunteering
themselves for service in the National Guard or
Regular Army.
The proposal' applies particularly to lame-
duck Senator Rush Holt, who is young enough for
the army and active enough to stay on his feet
for hours in debate. The militant spirit displayed
by Senator Holt would be most useful in the
front line trenches in the event of war. and cer-
tainly after January, Mr. Holt's essential services
as a senator will not be required. He is only a
shining illustration of the point raised by) the
reader.
The same suggestion applies to the able-
bodied citizenry of military age who are vocifer-
ously opposing the draft. Ft. Worth Star-Tele-

A Soft Answer
An elderly man with flowing locks and a
somewhat patriarchal beard once lived a secluded
life near a noted college, and'it was his habit
to take morning walks through a semi-wooded
tract nearby.
On one of his leisurely morning strolls he was
met by three of the young students; who con-
ceived the idea of being facetious, and. as they
thought, “funny,” at the man’s expense. They fol-
lowed one another, a few steps apart,, and the
first one meeting him said. “Good morning. Fa-
ther Abraham the second one, "Good morning.
Father Isaac;’1 the third one. “Good morning.
Father Jacob."
Thereupon, the gentleman assumed a very
patriachal air and replied: "Kind sirs, I am not
Father Abraham, nor am I Father Isaac or Fa-
ther Jacob, but I am Saul. the son of Kish, who
went out to seek his father's asses; and lo — I
have found them."

STATION G-O-V-T
IN APRIL of this year the government
t used 108 network system radio pro-
grams to “educate” the public. The esti-
mated gross valuation of this time, if paid
for by an advertiser would be $335,303,
says Nation’s Business.
In one year this amounts to 1,296 pro-
grams. 426 hours and 24 minutes, time
value $4,023,636. Valuation figures are es-
timates based on average rates for all the
stations in the networks. It is true that not
all the stations in a chain may use any one
program. I
On the other hand, this estimate covers
only a part and perhaps the lesser part, of
free time obtained by the government to
sell itself to the public through this adver-
tising medium. It takes no account of all
those transcriptions that are sent to radio
, stations with a letter gently suggesting
that the originating bureau (a part of the
same government that licenses the sta-
