The following are extracts _ from his address as reported in a 'Toronto paper: - _ "A former Minister of Educa- tion once said," he told his fel- low teachers, "that what the teaching profession needed was certain positions which might be regarded as plums. One might reasonably look to the Depart- develop ' should pay a salary that would enable it to command the ser- vices of the best qualified and highest paid teachers as normal school masters, as directors, and as inspectors. But it does not. Last winter we read of the agi- tation for increased salaries for county judges. Now the county school inspectors are about equal in numbers, and I think, equal in ability and training, to the judges. Their work is at least as arduous and as important to the state. No one will deny the right of the judges to an adequate salary. But why should the inspectors be expected to get along on less?" Mr. Tuke declared that in his opinion principals of collegiates in the city should be paid as much as other educational officials. "I canpot re¢ ain from mentioning | GZ foi the Board of Ed- fe yom jlldetarsest city paying + less® tu its coflegiate principals ~ 'than to a number of administra- tive or office officials," he said. The salary scale of teachers in the city was humiliating them in the eyes of outside observers, keeping brilliant students out of the profession, and had often re- sulted in Toronto teachers being grabbed up by other cities in the province and paid higher salaries, Mr. Tuke continued. He also protested against De- partmental examinations. "Fore- most of the handicapping in- fluences," he said, "is the contin- ued paralyzing domination of the Departmental examination sys- tem, deadening initiative on the teacher's part, and causing more heartburnings than all- other causes-combined." cAnnouncement On and after Sunday, January 5th, 1930, the Drug Stores in Haileybury will be open on Sun- days 10 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. and 7 to 8.30 p.m. only.

Normandy and N. Mclsaac to Run for Reeveship with Seven Aspirants for Council Burton Normandy, a_ former reeve, and Neil D. MclIsaac, a member of the council for the past five years, are candidates for the reeveship of the Town- ship of Bucke, in the election to be held on Monday next. There are seven in the running for the four seats on the council and the election promises to be an inter- esting one. Those who fre striving for seats on the couhicil board are Olaf Nelson, West Road farmer and Alonzo Totten, blacksmith, members of the 1929 council seeking re-election, and the new- comers are: James Phillips, mill- man; Thomas Poole, carpenter; Fred. Radley, farmer; Robert Stoughton, shift boss, and Alfred Williams, foundryman. The fourth member of last year's council, Chas. Peterson, was nominated but will not run, as he is now working at Noranda. At the nomination meeting on Monday afternoon, the greater part of the discussion centred around the legal dispute between the council and the pubile school board at North Cobalt, which culminated in a hearing before Mr. Justice Raney at the spring assizes here. It was claimed by the board that there was a con- siderable sum of money owing by the council on past requisitions and levies for school purposes. The financial statement showsa balance of $994.14 due the school board, but it was held by one of the trustees who spoke at the (Continued on Page 4) The Best Cough Remedy ate compounding. _ FERGUSON AVE.

Legris tion to Mayora Holds Election Void as Taxes Not Paid in Time; Refuses " Contention for Acclama-=-- Ity of Haileybury When the legal arguments in not qualified by reason of the fact the mayoralty tangle had been presented in the court house here on Monday, His Honor Judge Hartman said that he was still of the opinion that Mayor Charbon- neau's taxes had not been paid in time to allow him to qualify for the election and that he would hold that his election was illegal and he would be unseated. He would also hold that Mr. Legris was not entitled to the seat on the grounds set out in his claim and that a new election would be necessary for the office of mayor for 1930. Each party to the ac- tion would pay its own costs. This judgment is in accord with the expressed opinion of His Honor at the close of the hear- ing on Friday last, which was adjourned until Monday to allow the counsel, C. FTuer for Mr.} Legris and F. L. Smiley, K.C., for Mayor Charbonneau, to present their arguments. In his argument Mr. Tuer con- tended that the mayor's taxes had not been paid in time for him to legally qualify, quoting a rec- ent case in Rainy River district in which it had been held that the elections commenced with the day of nominations. He also ar- gued that, though Mr. Legris had not been present at the nomina- tions to object to the candidature of the mayor, he had subsequent- ly acted consistently with his claim to be mayor-elect, by giv- ing sufficient notice to the town clerk and to the ratepayers that he was entitled to office. Mr. Smiley maintained that the first intention of the Municipal Act was to give the people the right to choose their representat- ives. The relator, he said, shoul have notified the public hetween ; the hours of nomination 'of_ the objection to the mayor'scandida- ture. In the notice of motion, Mr. Smiley contended, there was no word of complaint of unpaid taxes at the time of the election, but only a paragraph stating that the mayor had not paid before the day of nomination. Mr. Legris had not used the words of the statute or anything in the statute in his notice of motion. Mr. Smiley argued further that Mr. Legris was not entitled to the seat for two reasons. One was that the resolution which! gave him power to collect arrears| of taxes for the municipality had| never been recinded and that he could still carry on this' work and claim a commission from the town. The other was that he was that he is the agent of the land- lord of the town's offices, a fact that was brought out in the hear- ing. He was not qualified in 1925 when the agreement was entered into, and he was not qualified now, Mr. Smiley held. At the hearing on Friday the first witness called by C. F. Tuer, who acted for the relator, Jos. A. Legris, was H. Clifford, town clerk. He gave evidence of the proceedings on nomination day, November 25th, when both W. Charbonneau and J. A. Legris were properly nominated. The former had filed his certificate of qualification between 12 and lo' clock, after paying his taxes for the year bygcheque. The taxes were paid it full and, the witness told the court, were levied on his Rorke Avenue property which was asséssed in his own name. No interest or penalty had been added to the amount on account of the taxes not being paid on the dates of the instalments, the wit- ness stated. On the following Clifford said, Mr. came in afd paid cash, taking back Asked by Mr. Tuer as to why this had®& been done, he stated that the cheque had been taken to the bank to be "marked" and that the bank had refused to ac- cept it. Yhen Mr. Charbonneau came into the office, he had been told of this circumstance, the wit- ness said. Mr. Legris had been notified by telephone of his nem- ination and also by letter. He fad enquired if Mr. Charbon- neau's faxes were paid and the witness had told him the circum- stances. A similar letter had been yritten to each of the nom- 1G. Mes iets a : Mr. Clifford told of the receipt of the letter from Mr. Legris, in which the latter claimed that Charbonneau was _ disqualified and demanded that he (Legris) be declared elected. This letter had been published and copies had been posted up at the polling booths, the witness said. He did not comply with the request as he believed the question had to go before the electors, and he had written to Legris explaining his position. No part had been taken by Mr. Legris in the voting, to his knowledge. Questioned by F. L. Smiley, K. C., who acted for Mr. Charbon- neau, Mr. Clifford said he did not present the cheaue for payment day, Mr. Charbonneau the amount in the cheque (Continued on_Page 5) = Indian Situation Arouses Interest of British People The result of the National Indian Council, which opens in Lahore at the end of this week, is of such vital interest to the British Em- pire that in the Old Country it is being more widely discussed than the coming Naval Conference. The recent declarations of the Bri- tish Labor Government uttered in an attempt to mollify the situa- tion have rather had the effect of stiffening the demands of the Indian leaders, who now ask that the promise of eventual Domin- ion status be backed up by concrete action in London.

Hold New Election for : Mayor and Councillors Nominations Next Monday With Voting on the 20th, if a Poll is Necessary A complete new election for mayor and councillors for the year 1930 is the 'outcome of the ;tangle over the 'mayoralty situa- tion here. Following the decision of His Honor Judge Hartman on Monday, when Mayor Charbon- neau was declared disqualified and a new eleetion ordered for 'mayor, it was learned that, ac- cording to the Municipal Act, the - three members of the council who were declared elected, along with the mayor, in the contest held on December 2nd, could not retain their seats. All authori- ties appeared to be agreed on this point and the town clerk has proceeded to call another nomin- ation meeting. Monday, January 13th, has been fixed for the nomination, with Monday, January 20th, as the day for the vote to be taken if an election is necessary. The hours are 10 to 11 a.m. for the office of mayor and 12 to 1 p.m. for the office of councillors. The nominees will have until Tuesday evening to file their qualifications the same period as when the el- ections are held at the regular time. Up to the time of going to press, neither of the candidates which figured in the former con- test and in the legal battle would make any declaration Of their in- tentions in the next Neither is there in sight at the present time any other candidate who appears to be entertaining any ambition towards the may- oralty. It is likely, however, that at least some members of the council of 1929 will be in the running, but whether there will be sufficient to make a poll neces- Sary remains to be seen. The holding of another nomination meeting will clear the air and there should be no difficulty in securing suitable men to guide the destinies of the town during the year. een eee ae Awarded Cash Prize in Magazine Contest Mrs. E.
