[. ------ vy \ 2 Some Ottawa Glimpses ~ Special A 5 \-- ,Ottawa, Sept. 9--What is now happening to the Ontaria Govern- ment is exactly what has been hap- pening to every Conservative Govern- ment in Canada since the war began --it is tottering. tering, it's pottering, : It takes it day about--one day to potter, ithe next| day to totter, It is making good on both jobs. : 3 Nothing has been sald about nickel since Hartley Dewart was elected in South West Toronto. Naturally the pargel of village cutups in Queen's Park want to forget all about that. It makes them nervous to have the thing mentioned when the boss is around. is the boss and he is none too pleased needed with the mess his naughty By their blundering they have draw attention to the fact that the Ontario Government, is owned body, bones and breeches by the Nickel Trast, good In shaking out the worst class of operating through the Minister of Rallwlys at Ottawa. This close con nection with Ottawa is not a good thing for the parcel of county law- yers who corfjtitute a Cabinet-afraid- of -losing-itg- Mb in Queen's Park. It gets themn inte a lot of trouble. It threatens to send them all back to |g the bush and take them out of minor league company. The last thing they want to talk about is nickel. They would rather talk about hydro-radial, unwelcome as that subject is, A belated anpouncement is made that the Ontario Government will spend $1,300,000 on hydro. This is another cage of pottering. They are prepared to potter that much to keep | ready taken a suite of offices in the| from tottering any farther. Since the events in South .West Toronto, [/Church street, Toronto, Imperial Oll | {aa eher. they have seen a new light on hydro | being John D RockefeHer's alias in| jeq a new milking machine, radial] They are going to love it from now on. That is to say they are prepared to go through the mo- tions, hoping that an opportunity will offer, sometime, to give the cause of public ownership a kick in the slats, by way of an order -in-council or something like that. How the $1.- 300,000 iy to be spent nobody knows It's a safe bet that there's a string' on it. Where the $1,300,000 comes from likewise nobody knows. t is probably part of the thr mil dollars excess taxes/filched ¥yom the people of Ontario as war tadgg and then diverted to other purpose Thé one sure thing is that it will be handled in the way best calculated to do the most harm to Sir Adam ,Beck and the project he cherishes. Some Conservatives see in Sir Adam Beck a chance to regenarate the party and provide it with a new premier that will he more in touch with the common people. But the Queen's Park bunglers don't see it that way. Sir Adam is the last man they want to look at, Sir Adam may consider himself passed up. He is too popular. The thing the Ontario government | chooses to potter with most is pro- hibition. So far as we ¢an see from where we are sitting now prohibition is to get the hinky-dink from the Hearst Government, or rather from the remodelled Government which succedds tflis one when Premier Hearst is hearsed by being made a Correspondence by H.
