' Insurance Moen Not Traitors, He disapproved entirely of Mr. Mc~| Garry's castigation of the directors of the Canadian life insgurance com--| panies as "traitors." There was not one of those companies but was as solvent as the Province. If they were legally charged by the Province they| Should be made to pay. Last year; the Canada Life paid out millions of| dollars voluntarily to its policyhold--| ers, "Where did they get it from ?" ln-! terposed Mr. McGarry. Treasurer Woent Too Far. '"From you and from me," replied | Mr. Clarke. The Treasurer had gone| too far, he continued. It might have' been all~ right to refer to their declining to pay in other terms, but it was not to be taken that Hon. J. J. Foy, Hon. A. E. Kemp and Scnatorl Lougheed were traitors. Proceeding. the member for West | Northumberland said that never in! the history of the Legislature had an,v' previous Provincial Treasurer taken| stock of the jails and reformatories to,' show how the Province stood flnan-l clally.

'"What about the railway subsidies?" | queried Mr. McGarry. | "We do not take exception to your! spending money, but we want value| received,"" he declared. Much money| could have been saved on important | public works like Government House and the Guelph Prison. The corpora-l. tion tax, succession duties and the| Fedcral subsidy had brouglht in large returns in recent years, and Withmlt' this money he did not know where the | (GGovernment would have found itself. ; Want Biggeor Man for Agriculture. ' He pointed out that although the Government was taking credit for its| expenditures on higher education at the University, it only reached about 10 per cent. of the population, while | other branches were not efficient.

Mr. Albert Grigg (Algoma) delved into history and contrasted corditions in Northern Ontario to--day with what' they were under the old Government. He took issue with Mr. Clarke's state-- ment that the total cost of Govern-- ment House would reach $1,500,000, and quoted the figures of the Minis-- ter of Public Works that the expen-- diture to complete it was $980,000.° With reference to the war tax, he re-! pudiated that any class would object : to paying its share, and declared that| the laboring man with his modest| home, as well as the millionaire, would say, '"Let me pay, too."

Beyond a mere line in the| public accounts, the House was not informed of the business of these two departmerts of the Government, and the members had little time to give them adequate consideration and deal with the large sums required when the information was supplied late in the session. Mr. McGarry explained that the HMHydro report was held up by the municipalities sending in returr:s.' Their books did not close until the end of the calendar year, conse-l quently the final statements were not completed as early as those of thel' Provincial departments. | ol earieg e n Ti ienss
