MAY PROVE A NIGHTMARE Labor's Pre Election Promises Worrying Macdonald Cabinet | |THE MNSTRY MAY FAL Through Excess of Timidity, According to Opinion of Lloyd George.

London, Jan. 25.--Labor evident- | ly intends to inaugurate a new 8ys- tem of Government within the Cab- | inet by forming committees which | will deal with the details of admin- | istration, leaving the full Cabinet | free and unfettered in their | | | sions of matters relating to genera policy. Ramsay Macdonald is adopting the practice that has long been in vogue | In Laber organizations believing 'that the practice will result in great- er efficiency and less loss of time. | The first committee of this kind will probably consist of the Home fe retary, the Labor Secretary and/the'| Secretary of the Board of Trade to | deal with the rajlway strike. The | second committee, consisting of the Prime Minister, the Secretary of State for War and the First Lord of the Admiralty, will determine on the form of recognition which will be granted to Soviet Russia and there- after will take up the problem of re parations and the Ruhr occupation. A-- Lloyd George's Opinion. Lloyd George's private opinion 1s that the Labor may fail through excess of timidity in both foreign and Home fields, and he sug- gests in conversation the possibility that, after having bacome entanglea in difficult foreign disputes, Pre- mier Macdonald within a few months may feel compelled to invite cer- tain Liberal former ministers with | more experience in diplomacy to en- ter his Cabinet to help him out. One of the thornfest problems La. bor faces is the relations between the Labor Government and Sue | Parliamentary Labor party. Strict party discipline has been maintajn- ed in the past and Labor's leaders have always admittedly been subd. ject to orders from the Parliamen- tary Labor party as passed at its general meetings. r---- LASER EE EEE EER ER WEY - i > 4 THE POLICE BURN < CITY OF FANATICS.

THEIR SALARIES? The Scottish Wing of Party Against Accepting the Present Amounts. London, Jan. 25.--Whether the salaries of Labor Cabinet ministers will be reduced was a question alse raised at the party meeting, but it was gide-tracked. Any alterations must be carried out by the Gov. ernment. Some of the rank and file object to the premier and other prin- cipal 'ministers getting £5,000 a year each, with £10,000 and a pen- ever, that thé income tax takes nearly half these sums, and the min- isters must entertain and are sub. ject to many unavoidable expenses.

FROM BURDEN Frontenac County Council Wants Government to Pay COST OF PROVINCIAL ROAD Councillors Discuss Holding + of Four Sessions And Re- ducing Their Indemnity. The Frontenac county council went on record at its Thursday after. noon session of being strongly in favor of urging the Ontario govern- ment to assume the whole cost of the provincial highway. A message Was received from the warden of the county of Oxford asking the Frond tenac council to express its opinion on the matter, and on motion of Councillors Spankie and Drew it was decided to heartily endorse the pole ley of the Oxford council and to de- spatch a telegram to that effect, also stating that a committee would be appointed to co-operate in the mate ter, This resolution, moved by Councile lors Halliday and Sibbitt, was pass ed: "That the corporation of the county of Frontenac feel it is un Justly burdened with its proportion of the cost of the provincial highway and that the ecunty has.mo voice in contracting the costs of construction and maintenance of said highway; therefore we humbly pray that the honorable the minister of highways will have the provincial highway act amended so that the government will assume the full cost of 'construction and maintenance of said highway." The discussion on the matter was along the line that the provincial government did the work on its own initiative and that the counties could not afford to pay the large sums of money levied upon them. Councillor Drew pointed out that Frontenac was by no means the only county suffering from the highway charges. Other counties were ob- jecting. He held that automobile owners and not the farmers should pay the bulk of the cost of the high= way. ) Adding Another Session, The council discussed the by-law presented by Councillors Halliday. sure method--the distance from the | To Be Built at Montreal | and Hamilton to hold four sessions of the council during the year, make them four-day gessions instead of five, and eliminate the meeting of committees between sessions. Coun- cillor Halliday declared that the county would be sdved a good deal of money by this plan and that greater eflicicn: © would result. He claimed that a March session was needed so as to prepare road plans, etc., that could 'not be done at 'the January session. N Councillor Guthrie said that if the plan of Councillor Halliday would save the county money he would vote for it, for he claimed that the coun= cll was wasting a great deal of time during the sessions. He . thought that eight dollars a day was too much to pay as sessional indemnity, Councillor Drew sald he had a motion to reduce the sessional in-: demnity to six dollars a day. He pointed out, however, that there wag the danger of cutting expenses to the detriment of the county. Councillor Storms was in favor of { the by-law if it would reduce expen diture.

"The eity council does more work in four hours of a -night than this couaty counefl does in two days," he declared. Councillor Graham remarked that the council should have had more business transacted by Thursday than it had, but the select committees did not make its report until the afternoon of the second day of the session and nothing eould be dons for twenty-four hours as a result Councillor Drew followed and took the Kingston township regve to task for hig remarks about the select committee. - He pointed out that the council deeided to adjourn ungil Wednesday. afternoon and therefore it was Impossible for the committes to bring In its report before that | time, ' Councillor Hamilton also entered into controversy - with Councillor Graham on the matter of wasting of time, and sald that the latter did not protest against the adjournment, The speaker favored the by-law be cause he thought it would result a saying of.money and better work, Councillor Jamieson figured that the tounty would perhaps be $700 to the good by holding four sessions and eliminating com meetin Until he wag , id reduce 'expenses " Cominned
