Nixon Raps Stables Planned for C.N.E.; TooCostly,HeSays "I am ready to accept the recent challenge of the Premier, and say what I think of the building of the $1,000,000 stable at the Exhibition. The 'Treasurer very properly com-- plains that Opposition critics talk in round figures and sum totals, but don't give concrete instances. So I most emphatically condemn the Gov-- ernment in this instance. I hope they are not taking credit for an agricul-- tural expenditure. The farmer ex-- hibitor felt that very adequate quar-- ters were already available. But the wealthy multi--millionaire who carries on stock--breeding opsrations as a fad has, in some lines especially, practi-- cally eliminated the farmer from the show--ring at the Canadian National Exhibition. So we have the building of the million--dollar stable. to which millionaire stock--raisers will be paid to bring their fancy stuff, and will not be used for more than three weeks in any one year. So I repeat that, in view of the alarming condition of the debt of the Province. city and Fed-- eral Governments, this expenditure, which will produce no revenue to the Provincial funds. should not have been undertaken." Ridiculous, Says Deacon. Mr. Nixon's allegations were branded as "too ridiculous" by Colonel F. H. Deacon. Chairman of the Cattle Committee of the C.N.E., and R. H. Jenkinson. Manager of the Agricul-- tural Section. Colonel Deacon, when interviewed by The Gli~be, was quite emohatic on the point that at Jleast 82 to 85 per cent. of the exhibitors are m>n ho make their living on farms. He won-- dered if Mr. Nixon thought that the money which city people were sinking in order to carry the best possible cattle, was against the intsrests of the Province. Colonel Deacon thougsht that the service which was being rendered in that connection was "priceless." 4¥ s Claiming that the Ontario farmer already had bseen practically elimi-- nated from the show--ring at the Canadian National Exhibition, Hon. Harry C. Nixon, Progressive Leader, speaking in the Budget debate in the Legislature yesterday, condemned the proposed new million--dollar stable at the Exhibition as something that should not have been undertaken in the face of the present financial con-- dition of the Province, and as only another move to aid the multi--mil-- lionaire showman who carriese on stock--breeding as a fad. Mr., Nixon's Charges. Mr. Nixon's remarks in this con-- nection were, in part, as follows: He drew attention to the fact that on account of the reputation Scotland had for gosd cattle, that Argentina believed it was the only place to bu; cattle, while he also cited _ nri~s« Million--Dollar Scheme Not Practical Now, He Tells House -- Sees Farmers Discriminated Against for '*Multi -- Millionaire Stock Raisers' "TOO RIDICULOUS," SAYS COL.
