Foster as fihance minister, A gentleman who was in Ottawa the other day recalled an incident trative .of the small, narrow, mean, and unnecessary point of view too often the hallmark of the finance de- partment. 'Lhe position of assistant receiver-general at Toronto became va- cant.) David Creighton applied for it and was appointed. He was notified of his appointment, and his friends congratulated him. In the treasury board--that small star chamber of the government--Mr. Foster and his col leagues fixed the salary at $2,300. Mr» Campbell, the old receiver-general, had been paid $3,200, but Mr. Foster thought to cut it down to 2.800 in the case of Mr. Creighton. " From a pro minister's salary. Mr. Creighton pro- tested and refused to acquiesce in the reduction. He went to Tom Long. Mr. Long was indignant. He would get some friends together and be in Ot- tawa. the next morning. When Mr. Foster arrived at his office next morn- ing he found Mr. Long's deputation waiting for him. They told him they thought it a mistake to cut down the usual salary in the case of Mr. Creigh- tofi, who had served the conservative party as journalist and legislator for over twenty years. Mr. Foster said the revenue was declining, and the covernment had to try to keep down the expenditure. Then, said Mr. Long, as bold as you please, save the mil- lions you are spending on question- able public works or railways and yea rs can live in Toronto. Mr. Foster look- el at him through his glasses and be- gan to argue, when Long stopped him and said : "Mr. Foster, there's no use to talk any more. We came here justice done to Mr. Creighton, and we must have it." Then the fin- ance minister said he would do it at a particular time, naming a pgriod months ahead. "No," cried long, "vou must do it now.
