MAMES, Edut., The Old Spoils Sysiem Shown In Local ILandout The aid "spoils system" which was popular a generation ago in Canadian political li, and which is generafly frowned upon taday by people of broad political marais, appears ta have been resurrected in this district by a re- cent appointment ta a lacal job of a party ad- herent, the glit of a Minister ai the Crawn in the Liberal regime at Ottawa. The old systemn operated under the slogan, "to the victor be- long the spoili." In ather wards, the party ln power claimed and exercised the right to give public jobs ta party heelers whether competent or not. The lacal member or ex-member, dlaim- ing patronage rights, had the say as to recom- Last week this paper carried twa items in whlch this systema was fuily exemplified. Briefly the story is that the former Liberal M.P., during'a ten-year regime, did viery littie in getting dredging donc at Port BawmanvIlie and an important fishing industry was in danger of being put out of business. He was deteated at the iast election and the neW M.P., a Pro- gressive Conservative, at the request of Town Council, went direct to the Ottawa ministry and got a promise af action. A cantract was let and the job is now under way. Immediately this news broke in the ptess, the former M.P., wrote the, Minuster ta recom- inend the appaintment ai an octogenarian party friend as inspector af the Job. He gat the ap- polntment. In the letter of confirmation there- was no mention of qualifications, nor any mien- tion that the Canadian Legi'n had been con- sulted in. the inatter. With severai local returned men stili out of jobs, not one was considered, no roatter il they had experience ln clearing harbors in the assaults in Itaiy and France. 1'he plain fact is that returned men were once again treated with contempt, not unusual ta the person holding the patro.nage. *The matter gaes far deeper when ont con- siders that leftiats are aiways on the idokout ta exploit the weaknesses of democracy. They are quick ta deteet the arbitrary use gf patron- age and play it up as oppressing the underdog and as, discrimination againit men who fought to win ireedom, with the hope of a fair.break at the bands, ai government ini securtng jobs on their return home. W. believe the public, inciuding tht fair- sinded of ail parties, will condemn this local action. It is a case where the Legion shouid register an opinion. It is a case, we believe,. that sets aside ail chance of a former member and candidate ever xnaking a successful bld for re-election to any responsible public office. Aside fromn the question of principie, the dis- crimination against returned mnn l a matter that cannot be explained away nor iived down, Mechanization Speeds Farm Output Titre are fewer farmers in Canada's fields tban a decade age, but lbey are enjaying a hîghen cash income - - mort maney ta apend I baistering the nation's economy, points out Tht Financiai Post.

The addresa in our opin- Ion is a bluepinit of thte course Canada ihould fobbov/ to sustain our econemy amidat tht mnani- fold probiemas presently faced by the statesmen acrostbe globe. Wlth realistic aptimisin Mr. Berkinshaw states tht case as il exista today. We cosnmend the reading of this address ta our subscribers wba wlsh te keep informed on Canadian affaira. In ietcent issues Tht Stalesman. bas pub- lisbed infarmtd opinions on world trade and- the dollar criais ill with tht hope oi stimnulating Public interest ln tht langer problemi of the' moment. Tht addresoi Mr. Berklnshaw is a most e ffective corollary te tht formet~ articles. Itla is ten aaid thal the force ai pulbic opinion is tht thing liaI moves governmients ta adopt policies for tht public welfare. The function of tht press is ont ai liaison in this relation- ahip. Wlthoul commenting on the generail points raised by Mn. Berkinsbaw, we feel that we shouid mention -ont ai bis concbuding remanks: "Industrial management should lake the public more- fuliy into its confidence." For tht p'ast five years Tht Statesman bas been hb'arping on the theme: "Industry Has a Stary ta Teil." It ks moat gratifying te find the President ai tht Canadian Manufacturera' Association taking preciseiy liaI view. While sevenai large in- dustries are naw embracing thus wise principie there is rooni for many mare ta get on tht' bandwagon and justify tht systeni ta which they muttiy adiere. Trees Conservation Act Passed By County Council As part ai tht conservation and reforesta- lion acheme now under way in tht United Counlies ai Nortbumberiand and Durhami, the County Council passed tht Trees Conservation Act at tht June session, 1947.

Western Farm RevoliT hreatens Farmer Federation News reports from many parts ai Canada show a very considerable degree ai unrest on the, farm front duning tht past few months. Out west many meetings have been held and région- ai organizations created as a protest against the price ai wbeat flxed by the British agreemients and the state regimentation entaiied in giving effect to overseas food commitments. Down east a farmey's union bas been organized in tht Hlastings-Frontenac district with 22 locals ai- ready established. Tht pratests appear basicaiiy ta condenin the eléments ai sociaiism introduced by Ottawa ta contrai and regimient Canadian f armers. Tht revoit is a distinct threat ta tht Federation ai Agriculture., SDuiring tht past seven years Canadian f an- mers have sacrificed hall a billion dollars by viýrtue ai tht variaus schemes.foisted upon them by triai-and-error poiicieÊ. Bewiidered by sub- sidies, bonuses, contrais, drawbacks, subven- tions and artificial stimulants, farmers carried an during war but are now completeiy fed Up. Oniy recentiy they were aga.in appeased with a iast minute décision ta continue tht subsidies an feed grain. Now they are plagued by the dollar crisis. Laoking back they set every décision taken as iorced by same eTnergency. There bas been no lang-view policy. Tht dissident fanmer arganizations are now openly attacking tht Federation bif Agriculture. They dlaim that the leaders bath in dominion and provincial setups appear te be entrenched in office as firmiy as tht leaders at the hcad of trade unions. Exception bas been taken ta the recent appearance ai an officiai ai the Ontario Federation aI a C.C.F. summer schoal. They set a socialist trend in leadership; thaI back- door politica are a danger te be detected. Too many are talking aiong these lines for tht good ai tht' Fédération.
