When asked by Judge Madden if he would have counsel he replied that he could not afford it, T, J. Rigney, K, C., "court prosecutor, explained to the Jury what the charge claimed that the accused obtained money for mis- sions or for the poor of Ontario and that he had used it for his own pur- poses. The four witnesses for the prosecution were all from one neigh borhood near Oso Station, all of whom were visited by the accused on the one day. The first witness, Mrs. Addie Burke, said the accused came to her door on the evening of the day in question, saying he was gathering money for the poor of Ontario, On | her husband's instructions she gave | him a quarter and also his supper, | for which he asked. He gave her | names of people in the neighbor-| hood who had given him money. | She thought the money would be | given to some headquarters but la- | ter she told Mr. Rigney that she | gave him the quarter to get him to 80 on to the next house.

A special despatch to the Whig from Ottawa Wednesday afternoon conveyed the pleasing news that ar rangements had been made with the Government for a satisfactory solu- tion of the Mowat hospital problem. Mr. J. M. Campbell, who has been in the Capital in the interests of the Kingston Health Association, was successful in securing an agreement with the Department of Soldiers' Re- Establishment that will be very agreeable tg Kingston. The details have mot yet come to hand, but it is expected that the De- partment, when it hands over the institution to the Kingston Health Association, will agree' to maintain about one hundred of its patients in the hospital at a per diem rate that will be satisfactory to the~associa- tion. This means that with the ad- ditional grant made by the provin- cial government, Mowat Hospital will continue to function. It was also learned that the Gov- ernment has agreed to construct the drain from Mowat Hosiptal to the lake, as requested by the Kingston Health Association and a number o! Portsmouth residents.

Sir Henry Drayton (Conservative, | West York) tcok occasion to call ate tention to representations made by owners of oil wells against the le- gislation passed last year to extin- guish the bounties on crude oil by {July 1st," 1825. Sir Henry said tha. {there were 3,500 oil wells in West ern Ontario, with an annual produs. !tion of 160,000 barrels. The coun- | tles of Lambton and Kent alone pro- | duced 145,000 barrels, Sir Henry {sald that on the basis of existing conditions the House must face the ) Wiping' out of an industry. There {was nothing political, he declared, lin the representation. } Bir Henry read a letter from ons of the oil producers of the district, | | Rev. Thomas Brown. Rev. Mr. Perry| WO Was head of the local Liberal |organization, protesting against the | removal of the bounty. Oil petro- | leum was a Canadian raw material, and it was just such products that the Government had undertaken to benefit by the recent budget In 1922, $93,636 had been paid in bounties. This was not a large sum lin relation to the amount of busi- | ness carried on. Investigations by oll | geologists had substantiated the | claims of the producers. | The direct effect of the Govern- | ment's action in cutting off this | bounty would be to deny employ- | ment to @ number of people, accord- |ing to the statement of this Liberal | politician, Sir Henry said. He quoted from the letter, along with statis- tics covering the profits made by the oil producers for eighteen years past. Thé figures showed that pro- fits were only 2.01 per cent. a year, and the bounty was 84 per cent. of {the whole profits. Keep It Alive, | A. R. McMaster (Liberal, Brome) | asked if Sir Henry was arguing that {an industry which was only capable {of making such a small profit {should be kept alive by means of a | bounty. | | Sir Henry retorted that the ofl-| producing industry was one native! |to the country. It was here with us/ and had great possibilities. It was \not an attempt to nourish something | foreign, like "growing bananas in ithe Yukon." { Sir Henry urged the finance min-! | ister to treat the oil producers, who are losing their bounty, as well as he had treated the agricultural im- {plement manufacturers. who lost their protective duties. Mr. Fielding {had provided for the extinction of the bounty because of a fear that the discovery of large ofl deposits in the West might put a heavy burden on | the treasury. That danger, however, had not materialized. Moreover, it could be guarded against by placing a limit on the tounty of a certain rumber of barrels per day outward, Dr. Murray MacLarer (Conserva- tive, £t. John-Albert) called thei ininister's attention to the loss which| the abolition of the - bounty would! | bring upon the ofl producers of Al-! | bart county. The oil industry thara |was in a developmental stage. It {had had from a million to a million |and a nalf dol.ats of British capital; |invested in it, | ~ Heavy Income Taxes. Hon. Edmund Bristol (Conservae | tive, Toronto Centre) spoke of the | necessity for gstting people and e:p- | ital into Canada in order to maln- | tain the burden of the national debt, {Canada was subject to an excep- | tionally severe taxation. On incon; :s {of $3,000 a tax of $40 was paid in {Canada, and only $7.50 on similar {Incomes in the United States; on |incomes of $5,000 in Canada, a tax {of $126 wus paid, while only $37.50 | was paid for the same income in the ! United States. Incomes of one mil- lion dollars were taxed $696,000 in Canada and $429,000 in the United States. These taxes were tending to keep capital out of the country. The free trade tendency of the: Government had "scared the life out of the manufacturers." Mr. Bristol explained that Canada could not prosper unless the farmers were prosperous. He could not see that the Government was materially aid- ing the Canadian farmers. The Laurier-Fielding tariff of 1896 had been an excellent protective tariff, under which Canada had prospered It might be taken as an example for; the present Government to follow.
