The Canadian farmer has paid the extra shot, and the Can- adian manufacturer of farm 'imple- ments 'has benefitted from the addi- tioanl protection.

In essence, this regulation prevented a leading United States manufacturer from selling to the Canadian subsidiary implements at the same price at Which it sold its implements to the‘1 American distributing company. i 'The Committee looking into the voting system came to no conclusâ€" ive finding, except to register its opposition to proportional represen- tation or the single alternative vote. On compulsory registration and com- pulsory voting it returned a neutral report, suggesting that further study another session was necessary. In view of the disparity between votes cast and members elected at the last general election, in October 1935, there has been widespread demand “for some reform. It appears, howâ€" ever, that the cure is not easy to discover. POSsibly before another general election some improvement in the existing system can’be intro- 'duced. 1111919, put. R.R.

Ottawa, June 16.â€"Signs that the end of the session is not far away begin to multiply. The committees, which have been looking minutely rand laboriously into such widespread problems as the marketing of wheat, the cost‘ of farm implements, the system of voting, veterans’ cares, 'g'overnment annuities and railway finances, have reached the ‘repor’t- 'ing’ stage. They table their recom- mendations and findings in the House of Commons; and then it 'is up to the government to carry them out, if it fits in with government policy.

A month’s treat- ment for LIVER TONE $1.00 By Wilfrid Eggdeston The report here is that the pro- posal of the Canadian Pacific to run a line north from the Ottawa-North Bay line to Rouyn and beyond3 para- llel for a considerable distance to [the T. and N. O. alarmed the On- tario government and that a good deal of protest was evoked at once. Now that the Canadian National is definitely going ahead with its con- struction, the Canadian Pacific pro- ject will, it is supposed here, be per- mitted to drop. (Several Lively Tilts) The Bank of Canada Act, as it passed through the Commons, was the occasion of several lively tilts. We had, at one stage, a joist be- tween “Gerry” McGeer, who repre- sents radical monetary theory, and The Minister of Railways said that the territory tapped by the proposed line contained a. number of produc- ing- gold mines, two more just com- ing into production, and a score or more of promising developments. The report here is that the pro- Legislation authorizing the Canadâ€" ian National Railways to build ap- proximately 99 miles of line between Rmen, the gold mining centre, and \‘Senneterre, on the National Trans- 'cont‘mental, was launched last week. {The cost will be about $6,000,000. and ithe line will be finished, it is expect- ‘ed, in 1939. The proposal of the Canadian Pacific Railway company to build a line through almost identi- cal country, encouraged by charter from the province of Quebec, was responsible for the action of the gov- ernment. The Canadian National has for some time planned that line, but with the financial position what it is, they would probably have waited several years longer, if their rival had not made a bid to get in there first. mended in pensions legislation by the committee which studied the sub- ject. The age limit for beneficiaries of the War Veterans Allowance Act l (for the ‘burned-out’ veteran) will be 55, if the recommendation is adopted. (Limits for War Pensions) After July lst, 1936, no applica- tion for pension for anyone who served only ‘behind the lines" 'in Can- ‘ada and England, if the report is iimplemented, and after July 151:, 1940 {no further pensions will ‘be consid- jered from actual combatants. Limits to the retroactive payment of pen- sions are recommended. It is be- ‘lieved that the load of pensions pay- ments for participants in the "last war has now about reached its maxi-‘ mum of over forty million dollars,‘ and that from now on it will show‘ come decreaset l The British North America Act appears to have weathered another attempt to amend it. The Senate ’last week turned down an Address, to the King- seeking' two amendments to the constitution, the first to legal- ize indirect taxation by the prov- ince, and the other to provide maâ€"I chinery for a loan council, through which the federal government could guarantee provincial securities if an agreement could be reached between the two governments. ' Some minor changes were recom- The government annuities were deliberately made as cheap as poss- ible in order to encourage persons of modest income to provide for their old age as reasonably as possi ible, and there will be some opposi- tion to a raise in rates. But with annual deficits on other matters, running into scores of millions, there will be a disposition, one imagines, to make the government annuity. scheme come a little closer to sup- porting itself. If nothing is done, it will not be many years before each year the government will have to vote millions to make up for the in- adeqwcv of annuity income into the feder"l treasury. \. lift Liberals are out to abolish the dump duty regulation; and some of the more trenchant ones would a- bolish dump duties on all lines of goods. Such a step is highly imâ€" probable, but it would not be sur- prising to see an intensive drive a- gainst them in some quarters. (Higher Cost of Annuities) Government annuities are going to ’cost more in future, it would seem. The Senate committee which has ~been inquiring into them, claims to have proved that they are being sold at substantially less than cost. An- nuities sell for a sum which is based: on two main factors; the normal ‘expeqtancy of life’ pf the person obtaining the annuity; and the earn-z ing pow-er of money. The expec- tancy of life, because of medical ad? vances and other things, has been rising; and the investment yield of; money has been falling. Private anâ€"l nuity companies, and the state annu-i ity scheme in the United Kingdomfl have raised their rates two or three; times since the beginning «of the§ century. But the Canadian annui-i ties are still being sold on mortality: tables prepared from the experience- in Great Britain between 1863 audi‘ 1893. l LIABILITIES 8 Payments Electric Light Debenture . . . . . 2 Payments Electric Light Ext.

Gentlemen: I, the undersigned Auditor of the Municipal Council of the Corpora- tion of the Village of Richmond Hill, have examined and audited the books and vouchers of the Treasurer of the said Municipality, also the Electric Light, Waterworks and Public Library Accounts for the year 1935, and certify that in my opinion the accompanying statements, abstracts, assets and liabilities are so drawn up as to exhibit a. true and correct View of the corporation’s affairs according to the best of my information, explanations given to me and as shown on the books of the Corporation. All information and explanations required by me have been cheerfully given. Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett quite stren- uously opposed the change, which, he Hon. C. H. Cahan, of Montreal, who speaks for the orthodox and estab- lished view. It was an interesting clash of two contradictory points of view, but it is doubtful whether eith~ er converted many members to his own side. The “sound money" peoâ€" ple are definitely opposed to anyâ€" thing that savors of inflation, where- as the monetary radicals for the most part argue that an issue of paper money would relieve the debt problem, give a new stimulus to busi- ness, depreciate the Canadian dollar so as to help export industry, and so forth. One finds a considerable number of thoughtful people who would support a measure of infla- tion, if they could be sure that it would not get out of hand. Then there are others who make “sound money” a sort of tin god. and who cannot be budged an inch. (Bi~Lingual Bank Bills) Another warm exchange developed on ,the plan to alter the language on/the Bank of Canada bills. In the past there have} been bills in Eng- lish and others in French, and peo- ple could signify, at the bank, which they wished. Now it is proposed to print all bills in French and Eng- lish. Stamps, of course, carry both languages, and those who support the change argue that it is no more obâ€" jectionable to have French on bank bills than on postage stamps.

There were, rather two of- ficial languages. Erasers are the nicest things. Of that there is no doubt. We write wrong words. A few quick swipesâ€"and big mistakes fade out. And you will find erasers, of a very different kind, Extremely helpful, if you will try to bear these facts in mind. When you bump someone in a crowd, and almost knock her down, A soft “I’m sorry!” Will bring smiles and rub out that old frown. Apologies, invariably, obliterate mis- takes; And three small words, “I love you!” can erase the worst heartaches. This prompted Hon. Ernest La- pointe to make one of the striking speeches of the session, in which he pleaded for less talk about race and race, language and language. He stressed the desirability of a united Canada. Dr. H. M. Tory, formerly Presi- dent of the National Research Coun- cil, is to investigate the importation and distribution of anthracite coal. This is a live issue in the Montreal- Ottawa country.
