Seldom have que--tions been put on the order paper by mcmbers of the House supporting the Government, un-- less they were questions that could be answered in terms most flattering to the Administration. Yesterday's series of queries, however they might reflect dissatisfaction with the Liquor Control Board, cannot reasonably be interpreted as a chafing against party discipline by Mr. Heighington. Only a few days ago in the House the member for Toronto-- Si. David's disclaimed in emphatic terms any intention of causing dissen-- sion in the Government ranks and Married women on the staffs of To-- ronto vendors stores are said to be a big factor in the considerations prompting Mr. Heighington's questions. The per-- centage of veterans employed and the number of employees over sixty years of age will also figure in the discussions on the questions when, and if, they are ancwered from the Government benches. The purpose of the questions, The Globe learns from well--authenticated sources, is to bring the Liquor Control Board to a realization that it is "not doing right" by good Conservatives in Toronto and elsewhere in the matter of handing out jobs. "The board is not treating the boys right," said one local political author-- ity, discussing the questions and the matter of distributing employment by the board. Percentage of Veterans? Here it is: "1. How many people are emvoloyed by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario? (a) Men? (b) Women? 2. How many men are over the ago of 60 years? 3. How many employees served overseas in the Canadian Expeditionary Force? 4. HMHow many employees had members of their families who served overseas? 5. How many employees had members of their families killed over-- seas?" The sword was in the form of a ques-- tion' which Mr. Heighington placed on the order papers of the House. It is just a question--but what a cuestion, coming from the Government's own ranks! Tory workers, disgruntled over the way they have been treated in the mat-- ter of jobs by the Liquor Control!l Board, are preparing an assault against the ramparts of Sir Menry Drayton's fortress on University Avenue. Wilfrid Heighington, young Conserv-- ative member for Toronto--St. David's, is leading the attack. Yesterday, just after the adjournment of the House, he drew a sword from the sheath of Parlia-- mentary procedure and took a thrust at the Liquor Control Board. What a Question!

Is Premuer's Plaint But then the Liquor Control Board is not the Government. And reporis are insistent in good Tory circles that this question presages a well--considered movement to see that the Liquor Con-- trol Board "does right by" the faithful workers in the party who are just try-- ing to get along.

In fact, tomorrow, if my memory servas me aright, there is a delegation coming to the Government to place before it the nsed of relief for the urban centres in relation to the development of roads in their immediate suburban areas. Now it must be quite apparent to every thinking citizen that you cannot build roads without money. We have no method, as a Government, of coining gold ad lib. and going on indefinit»ly. We can raise a certain amount of monsy from the various taxes. That, however. does not mset the need, or, at least, it will not meet the demand: so we have to go on borrowing on the future.
