A statement issued by the
Royal Bank of Canada places the
annual cost of conducting the
business of the Federal and Pro-
vineial Governments at $53.90
for each man, woman and child
in this country.

Eyen more alarming than the
outlay for running expenses is
the magnitude of Federal, Pro-
vincial and municipal indebted-
ness and the rapidity with which
the same is growing. Figures
recently given show that the net
Federal indebtedness of Canada
ig around two and a half billion
dollars, and that this debt has

been considerably more than
doubled since 1918. The state-
ment issued by the Royal Bank
places the aggregate funded Pro-
vincial debt of the nine provinces
at close to $600,000,000 more, and

ling increase of late years. In
Alberta and Manitoba indebted-
ness has been doubled in four
years. In British Columbia it has
been more than trebled. Jn Ontario
there has been an increase from
less than $67,000,000 to nearly
$225,000,000 in funded indebted-
ness.

Municipal cbligations have also
reached startling proportions, ten
Canadian cities having combined
obligations of $428,000,000. All
of these cities save Vancouver
have largely inereased their in-
debtedness since 1919, the fund-
ed debt of Toronto alone having

one hundred and thirty-six and
a half millions.

The conclusion of the author of
the bank cireular that ‘‘the
fundamental need at present is a
rigid poliey of economy in ex-
penditures”’ is irresistible. Dis-
