Ottawa, Jan. 21.--Before the bill enabling the government to take! 8 10 lease branch lines and feeders of Intercolonial railway was final- ly given {ts third reading in the com- mons yesterday afterngon, Hon. Mr. Emmerson, the chief protagonis t of the movement for the absorption of the branch lines, took the opportursty to give a general review of the situa-| tion and to endorse the bill as being | a step in the right direction, though | at the same time he eriticized it as being overloaded with conditions lke- ly to cause delay and as being legis. lation of the rocking horse variety-- all movement but no great advance. Hon, Mr. Graham, -in replying, | thought that the government had] gons as far ns was wise and that the ponditions' necessary before any lease was made were all important safe guards of the public interests as a whole, On motion for the third reading of the bill Mr. Emmerson noted that be had been prevented, hy absence, from discussing its provisions when it was up for second reading. The hill, he said, practically endorsed the princi- ple that he had been advocating for several yours, He had no political or personal axe to grind in urging the absorption of branch lines since he bad no direct or indirect interest in Bhy of them. He was afraid that were too many cvidences ° of tidity on the part of the govern- ment in grappling with the question. Four important condifions had to be fulfilled before the branch lines could be wiquired. There was, first, the necessary initiative on the part of t the board of management, then the chief engineer had to report the road ato condition for opeiation, then a » gl must tion before it could be taken over, | then he wished to tell the govern-{ ment that, the Intercolonial, itself, "could not some up to the standard Je 2 un one who had travelled over cpuld testify.

Mr. Tal-| fn and tr.

"I'he CPR however, realizing that the absorption of branch lines would improve traffic and ) increase earnings through * the pro- of ab the In that case before absorption the bonds Now the road was able to pay a dividend on common stock. His chief objec tion to the bill was that if the roads had to be put in a good condition he government would be powerless to -- as the branch companies were not in a position to improve their lines, He #ppealed to the minister of rail ways to take into consideration the Heatures of the bill which made it imperative, The people could not have thé branch dnes too {soon and they should be taken over on the basis of a division of earn ings. Hon, Mr. Graham, in replying, that he would leave the question to the condition of the Intercolonial till he made his annual statement when he hoped to be able to show a very considerable improvement in the situation in regard to the road as compared with previous years. He thought the government had 'shown considerable courage in adopting the principle' and paving the way for the absorption of the branch lines. The board of management were the safest and best advisers as to the roads that should be taken over. As to the question of not taking over a road unless it was in good condition he believed that this provision was ne cessary in order to nieet the general country. Had the Intercolonial been owned by a pris vate company some of the branch lines would have undoubtedly been taken over long ago, but there were also undoubtedly some branch lines which no trunk line would take over at any price. He believed that the bill was a substantial step forward and he did notishare Mr. Emmerson"s fears that it would not achieve the results aim- ed at. E. M. Macdonald, drew attention to what appeared to be a mistake in the drafting of the bill. In the committee stage a clause had been inserted sta- ting that after parliament had ap- proved of the lease and all the other conditions had been complied with the minister of railways must go back to the chief engineer and the board of management for a final approval. He thought this was both unnecessary and ridiculous. "Hon, Mr. ceeded along this wise policy sorption. A case in put was said as Pugsley explained that this clause simply provided that <he draft lease must be approved by the hoard of management and then when parliament had approved of it the a would become operative. As to t fh ray a fo se to bade slowly and take care that no addition should be made to the capital indebt-' {&dneds of the country. He believed the measure was a reasonable one and would produce the resultg, de- sired. He pointed out that in case the board of management thought it was désirable to acquire a branch line a long lease could be agreed upon on | the understanding if the road were put in to good condition a reasonable amount would be allowed for expendi. ture incurred for making repairs. The | bill was then passed. The debate on the budget was resum- ed by Mr.. Loggie, who continued his criticism of Mr. Foster's gloomy pre sentation of the country's finances. Mr. Loggie showed that the customs duties in 1896 averaged $19.13 on every hundred dollars worth of goods imported while at the present time it was only $16.56, a reduction in the rate of taxation amounting to 32.55 or thirteen per cent. If the same du: ties had been imposed in 1909 as were in fores under the conservative regime the people of Canada would have paid last year no less than $7,344,000 addi tional duty. During the past thir- | teen years the lower tariff had saved the people seventy-one million dollars in taxation. Mr. Loggie had not con- cluded his speech and the house ad. journed at six o'clock.

We are agreed in our affection for the colonies, in our desire, in every way compatible with the interests of the people of this country and of the empire, to cement the fabric, tighten the band, and deepen the common- sense attachment, loyalty and affection of the parts. But the colonies have wise, prudent and far-sighted states men who govern their destinies, and they would be the first to deprecate that any kind of pressure should ap- pear to be exercised by them on the free judgment of the people of this country," (Cheers).
