. Vigorous condemnation -- also . of Government policy in connection with late developments in the Ka-- puskasing colony came from -- Mr. Lang, who heatedly criticized the methods that, he alleged, were being pursued in connection with the pro-- posed -- townsite of Kapuskasing. While the Government dallied in the matter, Mr. Lang said, settlers were being forced to erect their buildings on land leased at high rates from private holders. Legislation on Kapuskasing. "It is a most inopportune time to introduce any increase in the min-- ing tax," he declared. "IL doubt if you can collect more than $50,000 by your proposed tax, and it will come mostly from one mine. I don't care if you take $50,000 from the Hollinger mine. I don't care about the effect of your tax on one mine, but I do care about its effect on the whole mining industry of the North country."' Pointed criticism of the Provincial Treasurer's proposed increases in the mining tax was indulged in by Malcolm Lang, Liberal member for Cochrane, at last evening's sitting of the Legislature. Speaking, he said, not only as a representative of the people, but as an experienced pros-- pector, Mr. Lang informed _ Hon. Peter Smith that he doubtéd his ability to collect from the mines of Northern Ontario the sum of $100,-- 000, as named in the Budget. To this Mr. Lang replied that, in his opinion, the so--called _ '"model townsite," with the exception of one or two hundred. acres, would be flooded during the period of high water on the river. That Family Tour. Premier Drury interrupted to an-- nounce that he hoped a bill would be brought in to--morrow, containing all legislation regarding Kapuskas-- ing townsite. NORTHERN LIBERAL SCORES MINE TAX RANEY AND ORPEN | JOINTLY TO JUDGE "DENS OF INIQUITY" Legislator Startles House by Inviting Both to Visit Race Tracks and Take Treasurer Along--When is Wrong Not Wrong? H. P. Hill, Conservative member for West Ottawa, caused the House to rock with laughter with his hu-- morous word picture of Hon. Beniah Bowman and all his relations in-- specting the resources of Northern Ontario. Truly, 'he said, the re-- sources of the Province had received 2 most thorough and effllicient in-- «spection when the Minister of Lands and Forests and the relations set out in their private car. Attorney--General Raney was | aroused by the reference, and caus--| tically asked the speaker if he would j abolish the tax on race tracks. "Not! at al!," replied Mr. Hill, "but Mr.] Attorney--General, you know you| He applied to Attorney--General Raney the descriptive term "political cuttiefish." He was appalled, he said, that such a righteous man as Hon. Mr. Raney, who had written for the Social Service Commission articles condemnatory of the race tracks, should sit in a Government whose Provincial Treasurer had just announced that it was subsisting, in part, on a million dollars of revenue derived from "those dens of iniquily," the race tracks.

"If the Province has power to stop cows from running up and down Yonge street," replied Mr. Hil1,. it has the power to stop horsges running! around in circles."' If the Attorney--General would at-' tend a race track meet, suggested Mr. Hill, he would find them not the dens of vice he had described them. ;"Win you come, Mr. Attorney--Gen-- eral?"" he asked, amid laughter from all sides of the House. '"'We will | take the Provincial Treasurer along, | anda we will bring Abe Orpen."' | _J. G. Brown, U.F.O. member for ll\'orth Middlesex, defended the Drury administration from criticisms as to lits being a °' class Government that had been levelled against it. The very taunts of honorable members opposite proved in some cases, he said, that there was no foundation for the charge, and he instanced the fact that only six out of 254 bills brought forward last year related to agriculture. _ . cannot make an iquiiy by taking lars out of it._" had 2 Arddadianakcrendsant T It was unfair to assume, he de-- clared, that because the farmers of the Province owned 60 per cent. of the bank deposits that they were wealthier than other classes. Busi-- ness men, he pointed out, did not leave their funds in the banks. The rural problem, he believed, would only be solved by making farming operations profitable. Mr. Brown approved the report of the Hydro Committee recommending a $2 im-- post per horse power on urban Hy-- dro consumption. Proceeding, the member for North Middlesex said he did not believe, as some members on the other side did, that the prohibition issue was re-- sponsible for the downfall of the Conservative Government. It was simply the new awakening of the people of the Province to a demand for better government and more ef-- ficient administration.

The measure also provides for the appointment of county Pro-- vincial officers. T. Marshall, Liberal, ILincoln, moved adjournment. Two New Measures Receive First Reading in Legislature First reading was also given to his measure to legitimatize children born out of wedlock, upon the mar-- riage of their parents. The latter legislation proposes to set up a Provincial officer who will have a status similar to that of a guardian to the illegitimate children. Upon his motion or that of a mother or relative, application may be made to the County Judge for an affilia-- tion order. The court then must determine the man to be the father, and the father is compelled to give the child the same sort of upbring-- ing it would have had if it had been born in wedlock. The father can also be made re-- sponsible for the mother for,ia per-- iod before and after the child's birth. TniQtJity' not an in nearly a million dol
