Legalize Sweep Stakes

Caundians are all sweep-stake mind-
ed. Everyone is buying some kind of
a sweep-stake or a lottery or a draww-

ing ticket of some kind. They are
working cross word puzzles in hopes
of a prize; much of the radio -ndver-
tising offers prizes for something and
the people fall for the prize end of it.
Not only are charities of all kinds be-
nefitted, but some of the enterprises
are questionable. But if one is not
tight none of them ‘are right, and so
long as charities are permitted te be-
nefit from so-called guinbling, many
suirt people are going to benefit also.
We do not hold that sweep-stakes are
wrong. Quite the reverse. We think
the great majority of the people of
Canada feel the same, certainly they
aet that way. Dven some of those
lundest in their opposition either buy
tickets themselves or permit members
of their families ,te buy, Then why
not make sweep-stakes legal: and con-
trolled, or better still, operated by the
TDuminion government, and them alone
and for the benefit of the whole peo-
pic. The Dominion government has
ull the organization necessary to con-
dict a grand sweep-stake, in the Royal
Cunadian’ Mounted Police, That body
could conduct the entire enterprise,
even to selling the tickets, and at no
extra cost to the government. Why.
not make Canadians honest? Or, let

them he honest?

What About Gas Prices

The Macdonald Royal Commission
investigating the price of fuel aud gas
ech, for a couple of years hae finally
handed its report to the ywovincial
vovernment and by sow it should be
hefore the membees of the lesishature.
Tt is understemd that the Commission
reported that the price of sasoline in

something that everyone in the pro-

and drives a car, or is connected in
any way with an owner or driver, who
uses fuel oil, coal oll, flys a plane or
burns a gas lamp, could have told the
government, and did tell the govern-
ment, many yeurs ago. But, for some
reason the government permitted the
oil companies to continue their exces-
sive charges.to the people all that time

hns the “intestinal fortitude’ as Mrs.
Steeves, M.L.4, would say, to take
any action against such strong corpor-
ations as the oil companies. In case
the government did take any actlon to
lower the price of gas and ‘oll to the
consumer it is o good bet that Hon.
Fohn. Hart would collect such saving
in the way of additional road tax, So
long as the-business concerns and the
private citizens can struggle under the
load of excessive prices nnd excessive
taxes, the government will take but
litle if any notice.

A BIG FIVE IN FISH

The Big Five in Cunadian Atlantic
Fisheries in the following order are
lobsters, cod, sardines, haddock and
herring. Yhey are all in the million
dollar .cluss. Placing Jobster first is
because it harvests the most revenue,:
but it is a question as to which is the.
most profitable to mankind. Men sail
ed ships from Europe centuries ago to
the Banks to gather food for the peo-
ple and cod was what they wanted.’ It
was food and ‘strong food. -'Today, al-
though lobster leads in money value,
it is regarded generally as a delicacy,
a toothsome morsel. Cod means a big
hearty meal, like haddock and herring.
Last year the lobster catch had a val-
ue of almost four and a half million
dollars and came next to salmon on
the Pacific coast, Until’ a compara-
tively few years ago much the greater
part of the lobster harvest was used
by the canneries, but recently ‘the
trade in live lobsters has’ expanded
greatly and accownted last year © for
moré than two million dollars.

Among the Atlantie. fisheries cod
came second last year with a marketed
value of over three and a quarter mil-
lion. The flesh is sold mainly in fresh
aud dried forms.

New Brunswick surdines are becom-
ing incrensingly popular and in the
canied form are sent ail over the
world. The market value of the sar-
dines was. over a million .and a quar-
ter, considerably move that baddock:
and herring. Atlantic herring ave sold
fresh. canned, kippered and pickled,
and also make fish meal and oil, and
haddock are smoked, canned and dried:
Finnan Haddie is haddock smoked as
