V MUST CURB HI-GRADING «3 (Continued form page one) but that is one of the things in de- mocracy, We have freedom of speech â€"freedom of -assemblyâ€"freedom of religion and freedom of elections. The great problem of the government is to make it efficient and maintain the unity of- Canad'i, which is- the same problem as in the days* 1 of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Unless we make progress in this respect it will be disastrous for the future. In 1935 the Liberals ob- tained the largest majority in the House of Commons. We have seven distinct groups in the House today. There atre a great number of argu- ments in, parliament but we . might better have arguments in parliament and in our meetings than revolution in our midst. Mr. Rickard also spoke briefly on .fhe tariff and defence policy. Hon. Gordon D. Con-ant, Attorney- General of Ontario.â€" M-a-y 1 first put you at ease by stating that I am not going to speak very long. In listen- ing to the- ladies speaking this after- noon I am convinced that they are altogether too modest in the apprecia- tion off their excellent ability in ad- dressing an -audience. 1 have been interested in your meeting, partic- ularly in the fact that it takes me back over the years. I am glad that I have been able to co-me because 150 years- ago my forefathers, landed on the shores of Lake Ontario which is now Ae Town-ship of Darlington.. I wish to congratulate you on your nomination of your new President whom I know is a square shooter and a go-getter, and also your -Secretary- Treasurer, who is a real financial, wizard. Mr, Mercer made a slip when he spoke of the next, election. I rath- er feel that we are jus-t getting over the last election, and would- rather deal in retrospect that in anticipation. Canadians are interested in -sound government. They want a govem- ment such as is under the leadership of Hon. Mitchell Hepburn.. I have my roots in the soil of this district and take great pride in serving this ridingâ€"not the pride of achievement, .but rather the pride of -ancestry. $ have noently returned from a trip to the northern part of the province and perhaps a few words may be of interest to you from, that district. I visited the Quintuplets. I had not been in office long before I found- I was responsible for them too (this re- mark resulted in some humorous ex- planations). Nevertheless the Quin- tuplets present -a- problem of many sides to the government. The gov- ernment has done what they, think was right in regard to the Quints and will continue to do the right thing always for their welfare and health. They are a heritage and. we are going to protect them. However there are other aspects not so conducive to hu- mor. I speak of the Olay Belt. It is a remarkable stretch of country north of the Hudson B-ay. The land there is cultivated and • they have splendid farms. I have found from statistics that the value of the field crop there for 1937 was $2,000,000. The soil is very fertile, the reason be- ing that, it is all virgin soil. It is a district very different from- here. The harvesting is mulch earlier. I do not know what the future of that district will be, but I db 'believe that as the district is cleared the danger of frost will recede. Northern Ontario oon- isuimes everything they grow and at advantageous prices. The mineral industry there is sec- ond to S'outh Africa., the wealthiest gold mining district in the world. In -the Province of Ontario mineral pro- duction is third in our production of Wealth. Our gold- production this year in Northern Ontario is estimat- ed at $97,000,000, an increase of $7, 000,000 over last year. Nothing has contributed to -the stabilization of 'currency as the production of gold in northern Ontario. Without our weal- thy gold mines our balance of trade -and our economic structure would have been very seriously impaired. The governments are no-w construct- ing railways and. goo-d roads in Nor- thern Ontario. We have given as a government, both Provincial- and Do- minion, considerable assistance in one of our greatest assetsâ€"the mining in- dustry of the north. The mining in- dustry effects a large class of people, (also effects the government, We have a problem in this northern district which is called hi-grading 'n the gold (mines of Ontario. Hi-grading is 'another name for stealing gold, It is done by the workers- in the mines-. The fine gold found in thé ore is broken away -by the miners and hid ton the person and sold through some medium. This constitutes hi-grad- ing. It is a criminal offense and -a Serious one. and we have not succeed- ed- in cheeking it adequately. The mining industry is the beginning -and. end of existence in Northern Ont but they have not yet appreciated the ser- iousness of hi-grading and it is still permitted. They 4-on’t, regard it as stealing. Hi-grading is stealing FOR SALE Gravel Pit.â€"Ph-one 45rl9, Qr-ono.

The sooner the people of this province realize the vast importance of the mining industry, they will realize success depends on cheeking hi-grad- ing. The Federal government has promised, co-operation in tightening up on our laws. W-e need' provincial enforcement. The people of the coun- try must observe the importance of law enforcement on drunken driv- ers. They are -criminals -and some-' times murderers and will be treated' as such. There will be no leniency in the prosecution- of drunken driv- ers. Within recent years people have -eoime to realize the seriousness o-f driving while drunk. Our courts have tightened up on these drivers and have increased the penalties. I suggest that they do so in hi-grading also. The Provincial Government re- ceives a great deal of criticism. Why don't you. do this and that. Why don’t you relieve us- of taxation. The pro-- vinoial -affairs and your business af- fairs are practically the same thing and are dealt with in the same man- ner that you deal with your business problems. Our -difficulties largely arise from the fact that during the last few year we have so increased our social services that they have been a very substantial part of our provin- cial budget. Once the government takes on a social service they cannot ever get out o-f it again. -Once a, so- cial service is started it increases like the proverbial snow ball. When you- criticize the Provincial' government remember it is simply a tax collection and tax dispensing medium. Last year the municipal relief in this prov- ince was- $11,750,000. That was- a di- rect shifting of a burden to the Pro- vincial government’s shoulders. I would like to -close w-it-h this re- mark that in October last you sent AD. Mercer and myself to Toronto to support Hon. Hepburn. -Some of you have known me before and I m:ake no secret of the fact that I be- came your candidate at the right time for it was under the administra- tion of 'Hon.
