The Daily YEAR 76-NO. 78. KINGSTON, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, APRIL f 1909. ---- LAST EDITION L00K INTO ALL Of Spending Departments of Government. DOHERTY'S VIEWS HON. MR. BRODEUR MADE NEW DEPARTURE And For the First Time Since Confederation--A Hot Shot That Hit Hon. G. E. Foster-- What Hon. Mr, Brodeur Had Accomplished. From Our Own Correspondent, Ottawa, April 2.--Hon, C. J. Doher ty presented to parliament, yesterday, a motion calling for an inquiry, fol lowing upon the Cassels' investiga tion, into all the spending departments of the government, In opening the discussion he made reference to the work "done by the Civil Service Commission of inquiry in 1907, and by the Cassels commis sion, which made its report in Janu ary of this year. He said that he fail- ed to understand why the government, in view of the declaration as to lack of conscience in these reports, had de layed so long in taking action in the direction of broadening the field of in vestigation, Ii anything had been made 'clear by the reports made by the commissions, he said it was that it was incumbent upon those men who have charge of the various big spend- ing departments not only to follow the example. which had been set by the minister of marine, but to go further He could not understand how the min isters had failed to realize that there was need for inquiry in all the branches of the public service. He pointed out that some of th men found guilty of bribery by Judge Cassels were still selling goods 1g other departments, which was contrar) to the criminal code. They ought tc be punished for their crime. The con doning. of their offence was lowering the tone of public life in Canada, Mr. Brodeur, after paying a tribute to the ability and impartiality whicl had marked Judge Cassels' inquiry into the marine department, went or to deal with the assertions that he was personally responsible for ' the wrongdoing. He pointed out' that the system of purchasing supplies on # »atronage basis had been recognized # every minister of the department since confederation. He had been the first to depart from the system. | had flourished, the minister went or to say, under such men as Hon. Peter Mitchell, Sir Hibbert Tupper, Su Louis Davies and Hon. George E. Fos ter. "The system prevailed," he mod estly said, "under men who have mort ability than I have." In proof of these assertions, Mr Brodeur read a letter written by the auditor-general in 1886, in which th complaint was made that J. U. gory had béen purchasing supplies without calling for tenders, and the then minister (Mr. Foster) had decid ed to let the patronage system pre vail. "Oh, come off," said Mr. Foster. "YT don't want to fight the member for North Toronto,' said Mr. Brodeur, "bat it unfair to charge me with evervthing when 'we discover that he was in the same position."

Gregory wrote to Ottawa asking for instructions as to the purchase of sup- plies for the steamers. Mr. Brodeur then enumerated and, to some extent, enlarged upon the dif- ferent things which had been done for the betterment of the marine depart- ment under his regime. These might be summarized as follows : 1--Patronage list abolished. 2--A new and effective "cost" sys- tem established in the department which is effectiig a big saving in ex- penditure, 3--Overlapping system with all its attendant abuses wiped out, the re. sult being that at the opening of the fiscal vear, which commenced yester- day, there is enough money in hand to meet all the obligations incurred during the fiscal year which closed on March 8lst. 4--Increased salaries for lighthouse keepers who formerly were paid on a basis of favoritism or worse. 5--The appointment of a purchasing agent who calls for tenders for all contracts to exceed five thousand dol- lars. 6--The improvement of the Montreal harbor, and 7--The inauguration of contract chase of steamers, Touching on the demand made by Mr, Doherty, for an inquiry into al the departments, Mr. Bordeur took the stand that it would not be fais to brand the members of the public service as robbers. There must Ix some justification for action before any is taken. The case of the marine de partment was different from the oth erg, for there it had been shown that there were good reasons for the hold ing of the inquiry Mr. Brodeur closed with some feeling allusions' to the duty he had to per form in dismissing those members o the marine department staff foun guilty. of wrongdoing. 'I have had,' he said, "a painful duty to perform I received many letters from the moth ers, the sisters, the wives, the childre; of those officials, asking for my com These 1 found it hard to re endeavored to approach the matter, not as an enemy, not as a friend, but as a judge whose duty i was to decide. 1 have discharged my luty properly and efficiently. 1 plac myself in the hands of parliament an will submit to its decision."

To Try to Cross the Antarctic Continent in 1911--The Con- templated Polar Voyage of W. S. Bruce. Loundony April 2.--The prize of £400 offered by the Navy League of Canada. for the best essay on the question, "Shall Canada Have a Navy Of Her Own ?" has been awarded to Mrs. W. Hews Oliphant, 210 Simeoo street, To- ronto, The cesay by Frederick Hamil ton, Otlawa, was also considered worthy of honorable mention. Mrs. Oliphant holds that Canada should have a navy of her own, which, on the one hand, "should wot be a mere toy," but on the other hand, not "a fleet of Dreadnoughts." She submits a proposal to prove how such a flect can be established, mannkd and eventually efficient for the protection of the sea gates of Canada. William Specrs Bruce, who has made several 'polar voyages, is organizing an expedition to cross the Antarctic continent in 1911 irom the opposite side from which Licui. Shackleton led his expedition. He proposcs 10 start from Coats Land and cross to Roes sea, visiting the pole co route, if possible. The plans are similar to those of the Scotia-Antarctic expedi- tion of 1902-04, of which Mr. Bruce was the leader, but tha new expedi- tion will avoid the trails followed by | the Scotia. : Gen.
