BUSINESS !! GOOD
IN CANADA
No Financial Depression, and
None Since the War Began.

a well-known correspondent Of an
important Western daily paper recent
ly made an extended visit to Western
Canada, and in summing up the re-
suits. after going thoroughly into con-
ditions there, says there is no financial
depression in Canada, nor has there
been anything Of the sort since the
war began. Anyone who has watched
the barometer Of trade, and seen the
bank clearings of the different cities
grow and continue to grow will have
arrived at the same conclusion. The
trade statistics reveal a like situation.
The progress that the farmers are
making is highly satisfactory. As this
correspondent says: 1T is true there
have been adaptations to meet new
conditions, and taxes have been re-
vised, and that very large burden of
added expense in many lines has been
assumed, but 1t has all been done me-
thodically, carefully and with full re-
gard for the resources to be called on.
"That this has been done fairly and
wisely is proved by the present COM
Portable financial position.
with the exception of restricted
area In the east, Canada is not an in
dustrfal country. The greater portion
of the Dominion must be classed as
agricultural area, with only an infini-
tesimal part of it fully developed.
Lacking complete development, the
agricultural portion of Canada has
naturally placed its main dependence
upon fewer resources than would be
the case in the States. Even in peace
times, business would be subject to
more frequent and wider fluctuations,
due to the narrower foundation upon
which 1t rests.
THUS, Canada has been able to
come up to the war with efficiency and
sufficiency and to maintain and even
advance its civilian activities.
"Canada's first element of financial
strength lay in its branch bank sys-
TEN. This system has two great ad-
vantages: 1t makes the financial re-
sources Of the Dominion fluid so that
supplies of capital can run quickly
from the high spots to the low spots;
also, 1t places at the command of each
individual branch the combined re-
sources Of the whole institution so
that there is an efficient safeguard
against severe strain at any one
point.
Here in Winnipeg, the all-Canada
banking houses maintain big, strong
branches and, as elsewhere in the
Dominion, these held to an attitude of
saneness and solidity that prevented
even the start Of any financial dis
turbance.
That business generally is now COM
ing strong on an even keel is largely
due to the absolute refusal of the
banks, both branch and Independent,
to exhibit the slightest signs of ex-
citement or apprehensiveness.

figures are astonishing. Beginning with

CAPITOL PARK EXTENSION

~OVERNOR BRUMBAUGH and
IT members of the Board of Pub
lie Grounds and Buildings ex-
pect to formulate promptly the legis-
lation necessary for the treatment of
the Capitol Park Zone during the
next two years.
This legislation will include an act
authorizing the city of Harrisburg to
cooperate with the State in working
out the several problems, provide for
the transfer of such land as may be
necessary and obtain an appropria-
ton for the Immediate grading of the
park area, the planning of grass plots
and the planting of trees.
Governor Brumbaugh and those
who have been interested with him in
the project hope in this way that the
people will be able to appreciate at
once something of the meaning of the
proposed park and thus lead the way
for subsequent assemblies to erect
buildings to care for the States busi-
ness as the needs arise.
It may be said to the credit. of the
Governor and those associated with
him on the Board of Public Grounds
and Buildings that they have gone
about the solution of the problems in
volved in the planning of the Capitol
Park extension in broad and COM
prehensive way and those who follow
will be able to complete the scheme
of improvement in such a manner as
to conform with the dignity and i'm
portance of the Commonwealth.
1t is the hope of all concerned that
full provision will be made at the pres
ent session of the Legislature not only
for the planting that ought to be done
as soon as possible, but also for the
widening of the streets abutting on
the park. The landscape designers
who are working out the plans see no
reason why the width of these streets
should not be increased without fur
ther delay, inasmuch as this feature of
the Improvement will not interfere in
any respect with the general develop
