Foolish Legislation

It is getting just about the lim-
it when the Dominion-govern-
ment falls for the fanatie’s legis-
lation, such as the recent enact-
ment against newspapers publish-
ing racing news from the foreign
race tracks, Horrors of horrors!
Money being spent from which
the self-admitted righteous get
no rake-off. The poor unfortun-
ates who pretend that legislation
will stop the human desire to
gamble! It’s little they know of
human nature. But when one
thinks of men (supposedly real
men) and politicians at Ottawa
encouraging such self-righteous
ignorance as displayed by the
ministerially appointed spiritual
advisors of the great masses of
unlearned and uneultured, it is
beyond understanding.

Many of the newspapers of the
country have repeatedly advised
against such fanatical legislation.
They have pointed out the utter
nonsense of attempting to legis-
late against human desire. So
long a3 men and women wish to
gamble, and that will be a long
time yet, all the legislation that
can be passed between now and
doomsday will not stop gambling,
Fool legislation against the javs
of life only weakens the cause of
the supposedly righteoys. We
use the word supposedly advis-
adly, because we do not believe
the advocates of such nonsense
are in anyway sincere, They re-
mind us as no other class does
of the publican and the sinner.
We take the stand that all such
foolish laws should be scrapped.
It is better to permit some liber-
ties than to kill all initiative in
the entire population to save the
poor weak fools who are no good
to the country anyway. It is as
wise to try to legislate people
good as for a camel to go through
the eye of a needle.

Every time the forms arrive
for personal property and income
tax returns we are reminded of

‘Here and There

In conjunction with che further
Idan of $8,000,000 for colonization
to be-authorized by the Quebec leg-
islature this season, it is also in-
tended to raise the bounty to set-
tlers on the “acreage cleared, “'At
present the government gives a
bonus of $6 an acre, It will be
raised to $8 an acre. The province
spent $30,000 in this way in the last
fiscal year,

The amount of butter exported to
Japan through Vancouver during
1924 was nearly twice that of 1923,
according to figures supplied by
the Japanese consulate at that point.
The report shows that in 1924 the
quantity was 476,454 pounds, as
compared with only 299,695 pounds
in 1928. Total cheese shipments to
the game destination last year
amounted to 2,685 pounds, as
against only 40 in 1923.

A recent analysis of immigration
according to occupation of immi-
grants arriving in Canada since 1920 |
shows a steady increase in the ra-
tio. of agriculturists and domes-
tics towards all others. In 1921

One of the outstanding feature:
of the Grain Commission Board’s
report for the season 1922-23, was
the tribute paid to the excellent
service rendered by the Canadian
Pacific Railway in handling the
western crop, Though the company
handled 105,000 cars of grain, it re-
ceived only six complaints about
lack of ears from the railway and

that during the 1924 hunting sea-
