"When you have on your hands a deal like this," the speaker said, ad-- dressing the Premier, --"take your time. Think it over.

He advised the Provincial Treasurer, in th event of further bond issues, to dea} direct with the people of the Pro-- vince, rather than through fAinancial middlemen. 'The people would give their last dollar in return for Gov-- ernment bonds, but they did not like to do their dealing through brokers, bankers and lawyers. The brokers' foes might be given to some charitable institution and the bonds sold direct to the people. Good roads, too, came in for generous commendation, and Hon.

No man in the House, he declared warmly, respected and admired Sir Adam Beck more than he, but the Hydro system belonged to all the people, and not to any one man or any one §roup of interests. If the system were eveloped, as it should be, in rural parts, therae could be an increase of 25 per cent. in farm production.
