TO BE MADE AGAINST CUTTING DOWN FAIR GRANTS. « Government Came In Foy Strong Cri. ticism At Meeting of Direc tors Of Kingston Industrial Fair Associa. tion--Member For Frontendc In Legislature To Be Waited tow. The cutting down of fhe govern ment grants to fairs, will be strenu ously opposed by the members of the Kingston Industriel Fair Asgociation The matter came up for discussion at the meeting of the directors of the fair, held in the police courtroom on Thursday afternoon, when the mem- bers voiced strong opposition to the aet of the legislature in making the cul, and a committee was formed to wait on Anthony Rankin, M.P.P., for Frontenac county, and ask him to take up the matter. The different associations, whieh met in annual convention at Toronto recently, de- cided that each association should take up the matter with their repre- sentative in the legislature. The committee appointed to wait ® On Mr. Rankin will be composed of the president A. E. Weller, Messrs Sproule, Day and secretary Bushell The committee was selected on mo- Hon of Messrs, Henderson and Simp san The matter came before the direc tors as a result of the report given by Secretary Bushell, on the recent cou vention of the Fair's Associations Mr. Bushell said that the conven tion had been an excellent one, but that jt had just one drawback, and this was in the fact that an order-in council had been passed cutting down all the grants to fairs to one-half, and he severély eriticized the govern- ment for their action A deputation from the convention, humbering over four hundred, went to the parliament buildings and des- ired to see Premier Hearst regarding the cutting down of the grants, but after waiting for about half an hour were unable to see him. Througn » mistake of the committee having the interview in charge or one of the de- puty ministers of the department, this interview did, not take place Hon. Mr, Dull, the minister of agriculture, | was interviewed and his report to the delegation was that he was very sorry, but that owing to the war, the cut had to be made in the grants, Mr. Bushell said that at the con vention it was decided that each as- soclation should appeal to their re pbresentative in parliament Referring to the arguments placed before the minister of agriculture, Mr Bushell said that reference was made to the enormous sums of money which had been passed for good roads between Ottawa and Prescott and between To- rounto and Hamilton. The cry of the government was for. increased pro- duction, yet in the face of this, the grants for the fairs, which were do- ing a great work in educating the Young farmers, had been cut off. The government had been warned that in their action they were turning down the farmers, and that they had better look out. Statistics were presented showing the large sums of money granted to fairs in. other provinces. These grants were far in excess of the Erants made to fairs in Ontario. In Ontario alone, there were 380 fair associations, more than in ahy other province, ' + "The government has not been cut- ling down in other things, and it is | WD to us to get busy," said the sec- retary, and all the directors agreed 4hat it was up to the association to make a strong protest. Mr. Bushell while in Toronto at- tending the convention, also had an interview with Hon. Dr. Pyne, minis- ter of education, and raised strong objection to the government cutting down the grants to rural schools. Nothing In The Story.

The president drew the &ttention of the members to the fact that the association had clashed with Napan- ee, in the dates selected for the fair. At the last meeting of the directors the dates decided upon were Sept, 14th, 15th and 16th, but at this time it was not known that Napanee had had decided on these dates. The secretary, R. J. Bushell, said he had received a letter from Dr. Ming, of Napanee, regarding the dates, and he read the letter. The Secretary added that he did not con- sider it fair to have the two fairs clash, and the members were also of the same opinion. The secretary favored the latter part of September. For five years the exhibition had been held Sept. 26th, 27th and 28th, and with great sue- Cess. There was-a good deal of diseun sion on the matter and i¢ was finally decided to hold the fair on Sept. 281k 29th, 30th.
