The Liberals had sug--; gested that. agricultural schools, with demonstration farms, should ' | be established in each county, but| MR the Government had each tim_c |\ |voted down the proposal. '"We _ |should endeavor to fortify the :oun-- | i |try life in every way we possibly t |can," he said. While the tariff ques-- _ |tion was not a matter for the Logis-- lature, in discussing the many dif-- ig ficulties -- confronting farmers the ; _ |fact that the agriculturists had to tpay duty on almost every article ; could not be passed over, Mr. Mar-- ; !shall said He pointed out that} the Model Farm at Guelph had last| i | year had a deficit of $9,000. | * Mr. Marshall referred to the state--; |ments Hon. "Bob" Rogers made in reference to the tariff at a recent _ |meeting. "He (Rogers) is like a Lord High Executioner who would l cut off the head of a political op-- d 'ponent and make him think he was , |his best friend," said Mr. Marshall. l "A good politician," interjected Allan Studhoime (East Hamilton). , "A pretty good scout," added Sam o 'Clarke (West Northumberland). | Cost of Government House. ; | _ Mr. Marshall once again protested ; 'at the huge amount which the Gov-- ; ernment House had cost. In 1912& _ |the estimated cost was $400,000; in | ; i1913 it was $622,000; and in 1914l it was further increased to $875,000. |He caused some merriment when|, 'he read from the reports some of | the articles purchased for Govern-l |\ ment House. The huge expenditurel _ | was indefensible. | [ | Mr, A. F. Rykert (North Went--| - ;worth) moved the adjournment ofl '\the debate. ! | _ Mr. Wm. Proudfoot, the Opposi-- |tion Leader, has given notice thatl he will inquire of the Government| '»s to the official position and duties 'of Mr. Fred Dane. | ns rr o h ranpenrade infi ie n o eerge Freag eous 1
