...... J ---- _ -flw, . The Liberal government can show a magnificent reâ€" cord of railway administratlon. Oflicial repg‘rts show that there has been a surplus 1n operation. Any man or woman who is honestly in doubt as to how to vote in the coming election should seriously consider not only the basic issues presented but the campaign mater~ ial supplied by the two parties. To their credit the Liberals point to their record which undoubtedly should be considerâ€" ed by every elector. They point to the two budgets showâ€" ing marked improvement in the national finances, to re- ductions in the national debt, reductions in general expen- diture, more liberal exemption from the income tax, reduc- tions of taxes on agricultural implements and motor vehâ€" icles the restoration of penny postage and other measures. By these the people of Canada have been releived of about fifty million dollars in taxation. H . n n 1 Foreign trade has grown to the great figure of nearly two and a quarter billions of dollars. The exports are $1,328,537,137 and exceed imports by about $400,000,000. Industry is flourishing and everywhere are signs of good times. Even the most partisan political speeches are not- iceably free this campaign from blue ruin talk. 0n the Conservative side nothing of a constructive nature which would appeal to the independent elector has been brought forward. Blue ruin talk has been abandoned because the times have been too good. So instead of blue ruin talk there is what has been termed already by several speakers \a “whispering campaign.” For instance the charge that Mi”. Bureau and Mr. Lapointe were on a joy ride on the good ship Margaret was tried before Chief Justice Lemieux appointed by the Meighen government and completely refuted. G. H. Bovin, the late minister of cusâ€" toms went down to an early grave with a stainless record. Even! the Steven’s amendment made no charge of dishonorâ€" able conduct against the“ minister. Such accusations are only made in the “whispering campaign” by some particu- larly reckless stump speakers who make no particularly good impression or favorable appeal to the voter who choos- es to do his own thinking. Aband is a real character builder for the young men who largely comprise it. The daily practice and the fre- quent, regular rehearsals which make the existence of a band possible, teach them discipline, co-operation and ex- actness, as well as providing excellent musical training and genuine enjoyment. I Dv--~.-_.y V.._, .J ___- Bandsmen stand out as leading public-spirited citizens. They feel a well justified pride in their organization and on public occasions are willing to be on hand early and late, heading processions and giing concerts in the hot sun, while others look on and enjoy the merriment. Surely such men work towards the best civic interests, and are real “tOWn-builders.” Many of Canada’s most suc- cessful and prominent men had as a training school the small town band. ’ It is a well recognized and accepted fact that perfor- mers of music find their keenest enjoyment“ and incentive towards greater achievement in ensemble work. The comâ€" radeship and friendly rivalry and the feeling of-‘inutual aid and support can only be appreciated by those enjoying such work as can be had in a band. . WOf course itvboosts the towh! As an advertiser it is recognized everywhere that a band is one of the best assets a municipality can have. A bandâ€" what a vast number of purposes it serves! It is indispensible to any town for fairs, trade excursions, public holidays, garden parties and festivities of every kind. A band draws the public to these gatherings and in- stills the spirit that is so necessary to make the event a suc- cess. It brings the‘townsâ€"people together and is a powerful factor in unifying the community. The campaign is more and more as time goes on becoming one of Deeds against Dirt, constructfve Liberalism against mean and malicious slander. If there is a band young meh cease to long to go to the city and are willing to stay at home and work in their own municipal industries. Thus the band does much to sta- bilize industry. Surely a' band is one 'of the most valuable assets a town can have and worth many times the cost of its upkeep. . Politics ,and politicians in the heat of t] be a bit tiresome, but it is one of the vital ocratic system of government such as we that we have a government in power repre people. We cannot obtain that governing have elections and so hot weather or cold V iness of election must go on. There are h adians in the cities, in the towns or on the i give a thought to govemlments, who ham their country’s welfare and who are center. 11‘ Established 1878 ~ AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT RICHMOND HILL THE LIBERAL PRINTING CO., LTD.

There has been a bad feeling in that section since the Commissioners have erected the check gate to prevent us- ers of Yonge Street from driving along St. Clair Avenue through Res- ervoir Park, dow Avenue Road, and so avoiding the toll. High Constable John has begun an investigation and hopes to discover the guilty parties.

Not once was the Liberal government defeated on a straight motion of “no Confidence,” while, on the contrary, the Conservaâ€" tive government, on the third day of its life, was voted unconstitutional and, therefore, unfit to lead parliament. There were twenty four votes taken in the parliament which came to a sudden end on July 2. Ordinarily there are not more than three or four votes in a session, the process of voting being both long and wearying. .However, in Canada’s first “one session” parliament, thee was on the average of one vote a week.

But the Ontario Legislature has not completed its term. It has at least two more Sessions to go. Why then an election? If Hon. Arthur Meighen and his Conâ€" servative followers are right it is Lieutenant Governor Cockshutt and not Premier Ferguson who will decide Whe- ther there is to be a provincial election or not. We com- mend the enterprising dailies to enquire of His Honor the Lieutenant Governor. putting their Views and party policies before the people. Then it is a solemn duty devolving on every citizen to inter- est himself in this election, to form a careful, considered opinion on the merits of the case, to see to it that his name is on the voters’ list and finally, but most important of all, to VOTE. te Occasion of Vote 4 14 No confidence amendment to motion that Throne Speech be considered . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . l . . . . . . . . . . . 1 Amendment to Throne Speech. . . . . . l . . . . . . . . . . . 5 Amendment to motion for six weeks adjournment Motion to adjourn for six weeks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 Conservatives challenge Speakers’ ruling.- . . . . . . . 16 Amendment to speech from Throne . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Clpsure motion to end debate on speech from Throne . . . . .
