Adshed (Labor, Calgary Fast) and Burt W. Fan- sher (Progressive, Lambton East), voted against the trans-Canada highway amendment, but for the main motion. Otherwise the Op- position groups and Government members voted solidly against each other, Talks of Vicious Principle Premier Mackenzie King made a surprising admission during the course of the debate when he char- acterized as a "thoroughly viclous principle" the expenditure of Fed- eral funds in the Provincial field.

Realizing the good roads senti- ment in Western Canada, the Con- servative and Progressive Opposi- tion spokesmen tried desperately to effect a wholesale holt from Lib- eral-Progressive members sitting behind the Government. But they' secured nome on the first vote, in- volving the construction of the trans-Canada highway, and only two Liberal-Progressive votes on the second division, on the issue of the general subsidy for good roads. The bolters were William J. Lovie Macdonald and James Steedsman (Souris), both of Mani- fous principle. Mr. King--T think it is. Yes, I have come to the conclusion that it is a thoroughly vicious principle. It is the Province's oblgation and so far as this Government is con- cerned we have sought to safe- guard the public treasury to the ex- tent of at least one-half of the ex- penditure.

Every outlaw along the river feared him; every crook- ed gambler in the monte dens play- od fair when Duane happened to drop in; every imitation bad man in the southwest of Texas wanted to kill him, bragged on his name, bunted him, when fired by drink, The better half of that widely calities Duane had visited, was loath to believe him perpetrator of the crimes laid to him, The ignor- ant and outlawed class fastened on his name all the rustling, hold-ups, robberies, murders, when direct evidence did not point to someone else, In a sense, the reputation of every famous outlaw developed by these wild years had suffered more or less from this natural exaggera- tion and misrepresentation. But no outlaw before h'm had ever had such a host of admirers and par- tisans who fiercely gave the lle to any accusation of robbery or crime attributed to him, It was widely known that he had never earned a dollar in his out law career.
