From Our Own Corregpondent, Ottawa, * July 6--~Mr. Emmerson's bill, 'to amend the railway act, has been one of the important measures the session. It has . : To deal with the bill from a negative point of view, in order to illustrate that there are trends of opinion not satisfied with it, perhaps it would be well for a moment to consider what in the end the committee refused. First of all, the government refused protection ageinst the Bell Telephon: company monopoly to rural Umunig palities, How. does this work out? It means that the streets of a muni ciphlity are not its own, that the Bell company can tear them up at will, can establish their unsightly posts on the thoroughfare, and render the town another hideous monstrosity. There is no redress; the company can do practically, what it likes. fused is interchan companies. See how this works out. A rural municipality, a farming dis} trict, or some isolated community, we shall say, has had its little telephone system of its own established for a long time. The savings of these not overly wealthy people financed it, and built it. It is there, a living fact. The Rell company's trunk lines come along and the rural company asks connec: tion with its trunk lines. It is nota competition on the part of the small company; it is a case of a big com- pany or trust coming. into the field. The Bell company begins to establish a rival telephone system, having con- nections with trunk lines, The poople must have long distance, and in time the small company goes to the wall. There is no recourse. The government has refused to compel the monopoly to serve the public. Another 'matter which has been res fused is the two-cent rate. In the old ountry the two-cent rate prevails, find in most parts of the United States it has come into operation. Evidently the Canadian day of cheap railway travelling is not yet, but it is bound to come soon. Permission to Manitoba to expro- priate telephone trunk lines, has been refused, thus forcing upon that pro- vince the wasteful duplication of a natural monopoly. Some time ago the province of Manitoba asked the per- mission of the government to be al- lowed to expropriate the trunk lines of the Bell Telephone company. The provines is progressive, and has aim- ed at the conclusion that public utilities should be in the hands of the people. It was decided to build up a useful, complete and adequate public system by government ownership, but the government Ras said nay. Why ? Surely this is. a question of provincial ights. The danger seems to he loom- ing ahead, and made 'all the more ominous, that Canada from sea to sea is soon to be tight bound in the grip of this unsparing and merciless monopoly. The little fellows who have \epent their money will lose it, and those who contemplate further enter- prise in this direction, had better be warned. It was also refused to provide a date within which express companies must submit to the control of the government. A feature of our modem life hay been the rise and progress of express companies. and their system. From being a luxury they are now a necessity and rank as a public utility, therefore, it was felt that it was time they were brought under the control of some responsible body, suéh as the railway commission, However that seems not to be yet a while, Two things must be remembered. The first is that this is not alto- gether a political question. If the op- position, for the most part has fought these questions it has been simply for the sake of opposition, The other thing to be remembered is that there are many good things in the bill, all of which have already been dealt with and so we have certainly made pro- gress.; But one thing above all others has to be borne in mind, that there are certain companies and cor- porations, rather should we call them trusts and monopolies, which, if they once gain a strong footing, are apt to uproot and destroy individual enter- prise, which is» the heart of the na- tion. Men of that stamp should not be sent to parliament, where laws are made and legislation given. Take the case of Manitoba. The province has practically been ordered to build her own trunk telephone lines, and submit to.all the competi- I tion possible in the way of building up a great system for her people. She ean do it and wll do it for a people can dev anything, but she will have diffi- cultien_ for there are enemies within her gates, Another important matter was de- cided to-day by parliament in con- nection with the Lord's Day Observ- ance bill, There will be no Sunday golf and no Sunday ericket, no such like things.

Kingston, July 7.--(To the Editor): The communication of residents of George street, to have the beautiful row of 'trees cut down certainly ex- hibits an utter disregard for the beau- ty of the city. Tha beautiful arch of green, formed by fhe two rows of trees on that street, has long been dne of the beauty features of Rings ton, and fo ruthlésly destroy this would be a piece of vandalism that should not be considered for a mo- ment. If is unfortunate that Add. Bas- sam has so little appreciation of the. beauty that trees lend to a city to] want more trees cut down. There has this season and many fine specimens have been sacrificed to satisfy the whims of some. If the civic improve: ment society is not dead, it should be doing something to dave ouf trees.-- TREE LOVER, - The reason given by the residents of George street for the cutting down: of the trees is that they are detri- mental to their property. They think' that sanitary reasons should come ahead of a desire to maintain a forest, of trees for beauty. However the board, of works will not grant the request without very careful consideration.-- It was 'tents, bushels grain, new binder. horserake, vulsions, One brother, Mr. Hall, lives joer and. other implements.
