THE DRYDEN OBSERVER dd | pe in 4 SER hp MAROH 17d 1008 fds DOING IN TORONTO? (Continned § froin Phe 1) cars and trucks registered in the Province is less than in the pre- vious year that the amount col- lected m gasoline tax was great-| er by $865,499 than in the year c¢nding October 31st, 193i. This was no doubt due to the higher] tax per gallon. In reply to a guestion, Mr. DBlakelock was] shown that the Province collect-| ed $1,201,000.00 from race tracks. ! Mr. Tweed was informed 2,647 farm mortgage loans were made in 1932, amounting to $8,500,- 000.00. Mr. Taylor learned that the total cost of erecting and furnishing the Ontario Govern ment Building in London, Eng- land, was $123,724.30. On Monday, March 6th, nine | Jills were introduced and given first reading. Bill No. 75, intro- duced by Mr. Shields, Toronto, | to amend the Assessment Act,! provided for. a super tax on large incomes but was with-| drawn after debate in which it was noticeable only lawyers from the Government side of the House took part and several from Toronto condemned the Bill. The trouble with this] amendment to the Ontario Assessment Act in the manner provided in this Bill would be] that" it~ would encourage very | wealthy men to live in other Provinces, very likely establish-| ing homes' in Montreal. The principle of the Bill would have | received a great deal of support] but it was generally regarded | that it was a Dominion matter | so that it would apply to all provinces alike. In reply to a question, Mr. Nixon was inform- ed that Mr. N. Tilley, K.C., had been retained by the Hydro Commission in connection with the Abitibi power purchase and that he had been paid $10,000.00 for his services up to date and the account not closed. On Tuesday, 16 private Bills were introduced and the ad- journed debate on the Speech from the Throne was resumed. Mr. McArthur from Northum- berland devoted a portion of his time to lauding the record 'of Government and then rather g¢ himself by ecom- n farming conditions ~ that farmers were | 3 pe than ever before and that little or nothing was being done to help them in the sale of their products. He be- lieved that the : Co-operative principle should be encouraged in the marketing and selling of farm products. He also com- mended the Bennett Government for their stand of encourage- ment of reciprocity with the U.S. Dr. Simpson, Centre Sim- co, following Mr. MeArthur made what is generally regarded as the best speech of this session. He made a slashing attack oun the Government and made hig position clear with respect to the Liberal Leadership. His speech was marked by a very violent clash with the Hon. Mr. Finlayson. It-is to be noted in this connection that this particu- lar member of the Government has a habit of interrupting op- position speakers no matter who they are or where they comc from. His reference in thi particular case to "gentlemanly instinets" when he attempted tc interject a statemen which ir contrary to the rules of the House at one point in Dr. Simp- son's speech. was particularly amusing to those who know the tactics adopted by this Minister. Dr. Simpson declared that Mr. McArthur was wholly wrong in his remarks with respect to for- bidding trade with Russia simp- ly because it was "seething with atheism.'" This was a very poor principle for anyone calling himself a Christian to have be- cause if the Christian religion means anything it means that its followers were not afraid to test 'it against anything else in the world. He also took 'the Premier 1to task for his manner of replying to opposition criticism. and ad- vised him to keep his temper. He characterized the attacks on Mitchell Hepburn, M.P., as cowardly, contemptible and un- sportsmanlike. He referred to the Workmen's Compensation Board as the most antoeratic organization in Canada an wanted to know if the Govern- ment contemplated any definite reply to a question vshich had been asked with respect to change in this regard. He con- sidered that the policy used in the Redistribution Bill was an { under the to dissension in their own ranks. ! Bates by production of | The ere given 'second reading.

Ii this was the policy to be adopted by the Government members, then the sooner there was less of them the heeter. He also secured from the Hon Mr Kennedy, Minister of Agricul- ture, a denial that packing plant interests were opposea to any Government assisiance for] the Barrie Co-operative Packing Co. In eonclusion he urged members to vote for prineiple and not for their party which would earn them greater repu- tation.

He characterized the attacks of Liberals in the House as being an effort to injure Hydro. This would seem to be the line adopted by all Govern- ment. speakers in this regard. Apparently they are not in a position to detend the Hydro and thus resort to casting re- flections upon the speakers in- stead. : On Wodnesdoy, Mareh 8th, four Bills were introduced of which the most important was Bill No. 49 to extend the Mora- torium Act of last year. This Bill gives the courts authority Act to grant relief with respeet to interest as well as principle payments when the arcumstances of the dispute are such that the unfortunate owner of property cannot make his payments with respect to the mortgage. Mr. Newman was in- formed in reply to a question that the new Botany Building of the University of Toronto cost $517,000.00 of which nearly $40,000.00 was for the green- house and that the building was not yet completed. Mr. Robert. son was told the various amounts in capital construction costs of University of Toronto buildings for each of the last five years to show that the grant steadily arose from 1929 when jt was $362,000.00, until 1932 when it was $518,000.00. Four Bills were given second reading and referred to. various committees ~o average for consideration. Bill No. 73 by Mr. Tweed, to amend the Municipal Aet, which would have provided property qualifi- cations for members of Munici- pal Councils was lost on division. Mr. Finlayson, speaking for the Government, was satisfied to have this measure go to com- mittee, but it was opposed by to] He wound] effect that he hesitated to make any change in speed laws or to add any of the staff in order to check up on traffic violators. larl Hutchinson, Kenora, follow- ing in the debate condemned the dole system of giving relief and had evidently prepared his matter in such a manner that it was not assailed by any men- ber of the Government except when he referred to the party machine and the method of dis- wissing for the service certain employees who had reported irregularities. He state that the party system of giving jobs to "party props'"' without thought of proper qualif.cations was one of the main reasons why deficits were had in budget and why it had been necessary to resort to "slavery wage" on the Trans-Canada Highway construction work. He showed from Hansard that th Trans-Canada Highway workers the Provinee of Nova Scotia paid nearly $3.00 a in Ontario enga » work were paid but , which was eonside r- the in day, were those while in the 9 3 > on th ar with de his pesition cl to his independence of p House and his freedom t mn improp- r administration at any and all! times. He concluded his remarks by advoea the introductio: of the law which has been tried out in Alberta sterilize tha mentally unfit. Mr. Charles Harrison in ti concluding speech of the dap alluded to the fact that he wa a railroad conductor and usual was following the énvin. eer. He wished to deny the stories that had been recently printed in a Toronto paper res- pecting relief conditions in his District. He had taken occasion over the weekend to investigate and had denials from those who | had been interviewed by report ers as to the statements they had made. He also took occasion | to clear up the story that had | been going around to the effect that he had been given $10,000 to administer in the form of cirect relief. He stated thar this had been done by Depart> ment officials and not by him: self direct. Mr. Oliver, S. Grey, adjourned the debate. On Friday, March 10th, Mr. Sinclair, Liberal leader, intro- duced three Bills and they were given second reading. These all had to do with school matters. The first Bill, No. 90, is to amend. the Public School Act by raising from five to six years the age at which pupils may enter public schools. Bill No. 91 seeks to cut down the com- pulsory school age from 16 years: to 15 years. and Bill 92 provides for the payment of fees for repeaters in examina- tions in high schools. In reply to a question of Mr. Bragg, the Minister of Northern Development stated that the to- tal cost to date of the Ontario- Manitoba road between Kee- watin and the Manitoba bound- ary had been $689,146.00 and that the cost per mile had been $25,052.70 and that but 16.2 miles of this road had been com- pleted and that no construction was going on at present on the remainder of the road.

On Thursday, March 9th, three private Bills were reported from | the Private Bills Committee. The | debate on the Speech from the Throne was resumed by Mr. | Ross, N. Oxford. He deplored | the conditions affecting the far- mer and made a comparison showing how the farmer's in-| come had shrunk. Four years] ago it took four hogs to pay a certain' farmer's taxes and to- day it took eighteen. His plea was for investigation into prices of milk and farm products with especial reference to the great difference between prices receiv- ed by the producer and consum- er. The Hon. Mr. MacAulay, Minister of Highways, devoted his time largely to an attack upon Mr. Hepburn and the Lib- eral organization. His devotion of 50 minutes of his one-hour's time in this manner would rath- er indicate that the Government is worried over, the activity within the opposition ranks. It a 10¢ and 25¢ size.
