The annual meeting of the United Farmers of Frontenac county was held. in. the agricultural hall, on Thursday afternoon, and it was] largely attended, delegates being pre- sent from the organized clubs in every township, sixty-two all told. Many very important matters were dealt with, and a determination was shown to carry on an active political { organization, J. L. F. Sproule occupied the chair, and the secretary, A. E. 'Weller, pre- | sented reports upon the activities | carried on by the U.F.O., Co-opera- tive Company and other enterprises. Complaint was made tLat farmers did not receive fair treatment at the | local income tax office. It was stated | | that girl clerks were entrusted with | responsible work, and they were not | conversant with farmers' cases. Al resolution was passed asking that a | farmer be placed in the office to assist | !in filling out farmers' jncome tax re- | turns. This was follow ed by a long dis- cussion upon appointments made | |'within the county and the general question of patronage. Several re- solutions were. discussed for presen- | tation to the Ontario government, but John McGrath and Mr. Campbell | pointed out that patronage, as form- | erly understood, had been abolished by the Drury Government, Mr. | Sproule stated it was not the inten- | tion to interfere with officials who were efficient and otherwise tory, but' in making new | ments the local executive and the | clubs were never asked for nomina- | tions. .It was evident that in recent appointments somebody had been asked for nominations, but not the j U.F.0. The delegate was directed to bring the matter of appointments | up at the next convention in Toronto. appoint- | A Farmers' Candidate. Warm discussion followed the in- | troduction of the subject of nomina- Ww work; alse hard-| tions for a candidate to the Dominion | parliament. The chairman stated that there was no likelihood of &n early election; indeed as a result of | the East Elgin election, a general | election would not be held before | 1923. It was the opinton of J. J. Morrison, general secretary, was a mistake to nominate a candi- | date more than six weeks prior to rolling day.

Vair supported Mr. Sproule, as the chairman was too far off. He urged better organization. Upon the question being put the selection of a standard bearer was indefinitely post- pomed. A vote was then taken.on the question as to whether there should /be a U.F.O. candidate at all, and it was carried unanimously in the affirmative, The Tariff Question. The tariff was the next matter dealt with, Mr. Sproule stated that the tariff commission. was to have been in Kingston for the purpose of taking evidence but the sitting was postponed until December. He want- ed to know if the U.F.O. desired to present their views, R. J. Vair read a resolution drawn up and carried by the Glenburnie club. It expressed the attitude of the gathering on the matter and was accepted as being most satisfactory upon the motion of Mr. Vair, seconded by J. A. B. Clarke. Colin Rogers suggested 'that several farmers be selected to support the re- solution before the tariff commis- slon, giving their personal experi- ence. Mr. Sproule said it was a re- markable thing that while farming implements were taxea, surgical in- struments were admitted free. There favor of doctors, one member said. "The reason for that" said another, is that too many doctors are sent to Ottawa."

Mr. Sproule gave a detailed ac- cdunt of his activities in organizing clubs in the county.

He complimented the meeting upon i the resolution passed, and while con- curring in the postponement of the selection of a candidate, he was glad ! to see that it was the determination |'of the meeting to nominate a candi- | date for the federal house because | he believed he would be elected.

I Te Toronto, Nov. 26.--Gradual adop- tion of proportional representation in the province of Ontario, with prelim- |inary experiments in Hamilton and Ottawa and one rural section of | Western Ontario and one in eastern | Ontario, is recommended by the sub- Ci | committee of the Proportional Re- | presentation Committee appointed by {the Legislature to report on the | question. The sub-committee, which met in the parliament buildings here to-day, recommended an increase of seats in the Legislature from 111 to 115 in order to try the experiment.

Homuth, South Wat- erloo, 'Following are the recommend- ations: 1--That the membership of the Legislative Assembly be increased by the addition of four members. 2--That Ottawa and Hamilton be each allowed three members, to be elected by the cities as a whole un- der the single transferable vote sys- tem of proportional representation. 3--That the present constituencies of Carleton, North and South Lan- ark, Grenville and Brockville toge- ther elect seven members under the single transferable vote system of proportional representation. 4--That the constituencies of North and South Brant, North and South Waterloo and North and South | Oxford, together. elect seven mem- | bers under the single transferable vote system of proportional represen- tation. 65--That the rest of the province select their members "in what is | known as single member constituen- | cies, but that the transferable vote be used in the election of such 'mem- | bers. 6--That municipalities be permit- ted to elect their councils by means of the single -transferable vote sys- tem of proportional representation. 7--That legislation be forthwith enacted, carrying into effect the above recommendations.
