THE ONTARIO SESSION ENDS The Formal Closing Proceed: ings on Tuesday Next REFUSAL OF MR, RANEY To Give Tory 'Leader Infor- mation As te Amount . Paid Lawyers. Toronto, May 5.--The last session, of the fifteenth legislature of Ontar- fo came to a close after ten o'clock last night as far as actual business is concerned. The formal closing proceedings will be held next Tues- day. Yesterday was a busy day, al- though the government got through all its business in the afternoon. The night was given over to clearing up of members" business on the order paper. All contentious resolutions and bills were withdrawn, Including resolutions for wine and beer refer- endum, redistribution and a bill which would put separate school de- bentures on the same basis as pub- lic school debentures. It is expected that dissolution will be announced within a few days and the elections held late in June. Most members left last night although more than a quorum was present up to the last minute. J. McNamara, Riverdale, got .| through his motion that Ontario take immediate steps to cooperate with the dominion government and the government of the United States in the St. Lawrence power devetop- ment, Raney Is Baulky. Hon." W. E. Raney precipitated another little flurry late this after- noon when he refused to directly answer a question that has been standing on the order papers since the second day of the session. The question called for information as to the amount of money paid to lawyers by the government since they came into power, up till today, Mr. Raney curtly answered that the informa~ | tion could be found if th ol TY DN. pt to evade the question. Mr. Raney: "I'll answer the qnes- tion in an appropriate manner." Mr; Ferguson: "I want an wunder- standing to that efféct. I had a lit- tle difficulty with you last year." Premier Drury assured Mr. Fergus- on that he would see that the ques- tion was properly answered. -------- ADOPTS DAYLIGHT SAVING. Crenfell School Board Lost Argu- ment With Pupils. Grenfell, Sask., May 6.--The Gren- fell school board has lost its argu- ment with the pupils of the school, a5 to whether studies should ecom- |g woence on standard time or daylight saving time. Despite the protests of the stu- dents the board ruled school should commence at nine o'clock, standard time, although the other business of the town is conducted on fast time. At 12 o'clock Monday when tha whistles blew, 150 pupils marched out' of school, formed into a proces- sion on the streets, and to the sounds of music by the band, started on a Parade around the town. Classes were more or 'less disor- ganized and now the board has an- nounced the school will open on day- light saving time. ------------ Lord and Lady Byng will spend a week in Brantford incognito, com- mencing May 14th.

FORTY FINE BRIDGES HAVE-BEEN SWEPT AWAY it Willi Be Two Weeks Before New Brunswick Railway Traffic Is Restored. Fredericton, N.B., May 65.--The number of bridges which have been carried away or seriously damaged in the province during the floods has been increased to forty-five. Canadian National Railway officials reported that conditions on the St. John Valley division and the Canada +Bastern division have 'been hourly growing worse and predictions are made that it will be . at least ' two weeks before through trains are running over either of these lines. Constantinople, May $--0 ndet a recent decree of the Angora Gavern- ment, all foreign schools will' hence forth be required to-employ at least 'three Turkish masters to teagh the language, history and geography of Turkey for a minimum of 13 hours weekly, These masters will be ap- pointed by the Director 9t Public Instruction, but will be paid by the foreign schools.

THE SSUES ARE: REVEWED Which Group Will Be Most Successful In Convincing the Electors ? Toronto, May 5.--For the six- teenth time since Confederation, the electors of Ontario will during the last week in June seléct a new legislature. For the second time wo- men will take part in making that selection. What will the answer be? That is the question which is troubl- ing a lot of members of the fifteenth Legislature of Ontario as they leave Queen's Park for their homes at the prorogation. The month of June is becoming increasingly popular as a month for elections. Away back in 1894 June was the month, then again in 1902, in 1908 'and in 1914. June is a con- venient month for the farmers and any month is all right for the city voters. Leaders of each of the groups proffer absolute confidence of vic- tory but the careful observers who love to forecast such events are ex- ceedingly doubtful at this distance. They are met by two outstanding difficulties. One is that there are really four parties--Farmers, Lab- or, Liberals and Conservatives. The other is that there is no outstand- ing differences of policy among them. The dividing lines are un- certain and indistinct. The Parties' Claims. When it is all simmered down the Drury government goes to the country on its record as one good enough to merit a renewal of the people's confidence, while the Con- servatives make the opposite claim ~that the U.P.O.-Labor Coalition should 'be turned out for the way it has handled things since it took over the reins of power. The Liber- Cras hotter management of , and that the Liberal party, since it in- cludes people of all occupations, would be able to present a stronger ministry than a group with which a large proportion, particularly the professional classes, are not exten- sively identified, Labor will prob- ably endorse a straight Labor plat- form, and those friendly to the pre- sent Coalition will claim that the present government has gone furth- er to meet the wish of Labor than any previous regime. Now all this will furnish the basis for a lot of campaigning, but it is difficult to réach any conclusion as to which group will be most success- ful in convincing the electors. Po-- Prohibition Question. Next to the question of past per- formances as a whole, the prohibi- 'tion enforcement will furnish the big argument, It {s bound to be an is- sue, and may develop into the all- absorbing issue. The Farmer can- didates intend to see to it that it is an issue. To the claim of some Op- position members in the legislature this session that the temperance question should be kept out of poli tics, government supporters came back with stout assertions that the temperance question was already in politics, and that the people would decide this election largely, if not wholly on how the government had administered the O.T.A. Where do the parties stand on [* prohibition enforcement? The gov- ernment says 'look at our record. We stand for strict emforcement of the act." The Conservatives say "The Conservatives put the Ontario |a Temperance Act on the statute book. Our party's record on the temper- atce question when In power was a straight-forward one, that merits the confidence of the electors a8 to its enforcement." The Liber- slguny "Advanced temperance meas- tish Whig The Conservatives will counter this by denying the wisdom of the de- cision and would also argue that members of the government have agreed that the fault was in the sys- tem of handling timber limits, un- der the former government, not. so much the particular minister and that the present government has fail- ed to change the system. "They will claim that the sale of limits to the Backus interests was a worse mis- take than any the Conservatives made. The government will retort that the Backus deal was in the best interests of the province and the Liberals will insist that neither of the other two parties have any cause for pride as to timber, sales, that both have shown an absence of busi- ness methods, Other Contentious Matters. Road building will - be another battle-ground, with the government pointing with pride to the accom- plishments and the oppostion groups askance at the "terrible 'extrava- gance." The radials and the Hydro-Elec- tric development question have been so much debated that there is expect- ed to be few new angles brought out. The government will claim to be the real true friend of public ownership iby insisting on efficiency and cauy- {tion in its development, while its opponents will accuse it of béing out to kill hydro and hydro-radials, The government will be held res- ponsible by its critics for the high taxes. "Lavish wastefulness," the opponents will say. The government will defend itself by pointing to what has been accomplished with the money spent and how fairly it has nursed the revenue. So it will bg a merry battle in the merry month of June with lots of outdoor meetings, lots of picnics, thousands of speeches--eloquent and otherwise--all to decide who will look after the business of Old Man Ontario. The U.F.0. claims that one effect of the Farmers' movement has been to encourage the farmers to take a deeper interest in politics. It is sald the average man in the country has a better perspective on questions af- fecting the government than do the electors in the city, ------------ (RINE AS HELPFUL ALLY IN MODERN AVTONOBLE tistios--The -- ey £ % Chicago, May B.---The motor oar of to-day, in the hands of thieves and robbers, has far outstripped the stolen horse of pioneer days as an afd to crime, says te 'Chicago Crimea Commission in its latest bulletin While the horse thief in the days when justice was stern and swift might see himself dangling from a bulter, the auto criminal has a dif- ferent mental picture in the event of capture, according to the commis- sion. His modern view includes ar- rest, release on bond, conferences in the well furnished offices of the criminal lawyer, trips to court, de- lays, possible conviction, a new bond, appeal to the Supreme Court the "fixing" of witnesses and escape. Motor cars were a factor in 355 felony cases in Chicago in 1922, the commission points out, but the per centage of defendants penalized in {1622 to 37 per cent. as compared to 26 per cent. in 1921. Ninety per cent. of Chicago rob- beries in the opinion of these ex- perts, are preceded by the theft of an automobile, and in 1922, 2,007 wobberies were committed. These in- volved 115 defendants charedd with robbery with a gun in cases where automobiles were taken from thelr nossessors. Of these 115, only 12 suffered penalties, seven going to the penitentiary, four to the reform- ratory and one to the house of cor- section, During the year fifteen man- slanghter cases were called in erim- final court and only one of the de- fendants was penalized. He received reformatory sentence, according to these records. C.N.R.
