such perslstent reports itsuillv implj timt thtv are the fore- runm rs o action luce during the past scveial jcars all political parties in ihe house of commons have joined in paying tribute to the necessity of devising ome means for curbing elec tion corruption now it appears that these post election reports or stones along parliament hill may be follow ed by the dawning of a brighter and happier aav foi cmadas ax wenrj citizens who do not look un these rumors as viciois nonsense but who vigilant 1 bcli ve that a nation at war should be guirded against such evils of alltged graft or patronage if they exist to any extent in order that expenditures may be limited as much as possible to funds required for the purchase of weapons or equipment that are to protect our national exis tence the safety of our ships and ports and the lives of our people in other words graft and patronage to the slightest extent have no place in canada in these days of grave na nonal responsibilities of excessive debts of huge deficits of high taxes and of constant menaces to the na tion from internal and external in fluences such whispers cannot be hushed up and passed over if the masses of our nation are to retain their faith in our institutions of gov ernment there is no doubt that political lenders of all parties past or present do not setm to have any knowledge of concrete evil practices in elections and it is the experienceof this ob server on parliament hill that they would not object to threshing out the whole matter in order to absolve in nocent persons and to remove the stigma on the house of commons however at this point a very serious question can be raised about the in vestigation and purification or elec tions in canada b how can an investigation be held into alleged political corruption in any canadian general election this question can be answered in four ways in the first place under the contro verted elections act any qualified elector can make a formal application for the investigation of the practices dividual of good breeding tood brains and good character he ls usually an individual who does no make as much money as he could get in any other walk of life on the basis of his abilitv energy and esteem in the com- minitv generally he lives most mod estly he ls usually devoted directly intimately and unescapably to public service and public honour he has generally no personal axe to grind in the pol it cal vernacular his records usually can bear the light of day and if nor it is attributable only to ex treme indifference of the people them selves he ls always concerned much moie with all public questions than private citizens in fact in a hetero geneous netlon like canada in which onlv a small fraction of the elector ate ls dlscrlminitling the proportion of practical men of truth and hopour ln politics is as onlshingl great and rates fairly well with persons who- earn theh living by other means though the faults or misdeeds of per sons in public life always receive greater publicity than those of per sons in private enterprises this is the basis for many false and erroneous impressions ami popular demagogic
