But farming, shorn of the benefts that manufacture gives, would be ps primitive and uncomfort- able as that practised by the mostibackward races. "Nothing will be gained for agriculture by assuming that it is the great and only industry, It is true that all men must edt, and that nearly all food is produced by agriculture, but that does not prove that in the last analysis the farmer pays for everything. One might as well take five gallons of gasoline and expect it to produce properly controlled power without an engine, as to expect food to produce wealth without the labor of artizans and others who do their share of the world's work. is "'Gdod roads' are paid. i follows: Provincial Highways--The Government pays 70 per cent. of the ¢ost for both construction and maintenance, and the re- maining 30 per cent, is paid by the municipalities through which the Provincial Highway etn ally passes. ' Provincial County s--The, Government pays 60 per } gon and maintenance, and 8 idiby the County as a whole. npient pays 40 per cent. for construction and:20.per. teniafiee, and the Coun- "ty pays the balance of the gost. *. ®' Last yedr the County rate for "good roads' was 4 of a mill on the dollar, which means that property owners paid 'at the rate of 75¢. on the $1000. ' This rate was paid both by the farmers and townsmen, though the townsmen had no part of this money spent on "good roads'" within their municipalities. The Government fund, from which the money is taken for "good roads," was started some years ago, and is now largely fed by auto license fees--about $1,250,000 in Ontario last year. The Hydro. There was a conference of municipal representatives re Hydro 'matters held in Toronto last week. If we are in- clined to be impatient, we shall have to curb our emotions, as Port Perry will not likely get cither the radial or Hydro power for a couple of years yet. There are many new problems confronting the Hydro, but most of the old opposition to the movement has been removed. This opposition was very marked on the pari of the share- holders and officials of the C.N:R. .Thisroad is now in the hands of the Dominion Government, and the last of fight by opposing interests seems to have taken place at Hamilton re- cently. : The Hydro scheme has grown enormously, embracing a network of radials for the whole Province. This will require a very large expenditure. especially with the higher grade of road that is proposed--better than anything now existent-- building for the future. : There are other difficulties beside the cost of construction. Dominion and Ontario Hydro interests clash somewhat at present. ~ The Dominion, is taking over a large mileage of railways that are heavily burdened, and that are in very poor condition. It will not be pleasing to_the Dominion Govern- | ment if Hydro parallels these lines and lessens their income. © To avoid this difficulty, it wonld be desirable from the Dominion viewpoint that the Hydro take over some of the "existing steam railways and electrify them. The Hydro asks | 'At what price can these railways be bought? Willi pay to buy at the price? Will it pay better to scrap some of the Il steam railways, and build en irely new lines? - There will be ~ 1} no value in p: ng for junk at rates which should buy rea- rails and equipment. 4 : The radial entrance to the City of Toronto presents an- le.

Maharg's Threat ; Weekly Surf Projessing to speak for the farmers of Saskatchewan, Mr, Mahard of Moose Jaw, warned the Government on Monday, that the Western members would resign, if concessions were not made. We are amazed to read that one of the alternatives ich the Government was commanded to accept, was the guarantee of a wheat price of $2.20. That is, to hold Mr. Maharg's support, at least, the Government must pay out of the general resources to the farmers of Saskatchewan pos- sibly 150 million. In that case how would the Saskatchewan farmers maintain their assault on the tariff? How would they hold the support .of sound opinion, which is necessary to their success? A speech or two more like Mr. Maharg's would discredit and destroy the. farmers' movement Not Such Good Friends Now. It is interesting to note that the distillers have found out that the bar is a terrible curse to the country, and that the brewers and wine merchants are convinced that whiskey is a degrading beverage. This is expert evidence and the voters seem to be inclined to accept the verdict which these men who know have rendered. The 116th Battalion Reception Our Oshawa friends must have found it to be a most try- ing work to arrange a civic reception for the 116th Battalion. As one of the workers said, "the military plans seemed to change about once in every two hours." And at the time of writing it is uncertain at what day or hour the troop train will arrive. On Monday the report was that the train would ar- rive in Oshawa at 2 p.m. on Wednesday. Then the Globe had it that weather conditions had prevented the Olympic (on which the 116th was said to have sailed) from docking until Tuesday at 8.30 a.m. This upset precious plans. ji The plan formulated on onday was for the battalion to detrain at" Oshawa, ie through the streets,take luncheon, receive the civic welcome, and then Jrpeesd to Toronto. Word was received on Tuesday that this plan had been abandoned, and the train would at once proceed to To- ronto for demobilization, after which the Ontario County men are to be returned to Oshawa to' receive the civic welcome, and then be gent to their homes by motor or train.
