'* Underneath the surface in the provincial poli tics of O.itirio a struggle is going on at the present time the outcome of which will have far-reaching effects in Canada "and _even be yond. Itis a most unusual kind of struggle, because it is not a fight between the two political parties I The issuc is as to whether "sey: Folding Gocarts {eral cities and towns shall, under | State supervision, bring electrical lencrgy {rem Niagara Falls and distribute it at cost to conswmersor allow control of all this business to remain in private hands, Although the people of Toronto have polled large majorities in fa- vor of the by iaws voting large sums for distributing plant, - and although with the utinost emphasis all kinds of declarations haye been made in favcr of cheap power and and public control, yet the reader cannot fail to have ob served that the power people have adhered 'tn a policy of *'stand pat.". Even when, as they said themselyes, their position was an impossible one, they mnde no real effort to meet public opinion, but formed up on new lines with William Mackenzie at the front. They have chosen to fight it out and win or loose all. The men who desire to control the vower supply do not beleive that they can be prevented from ac- quiring that. control. They are not dismayed by the popular votre of two or three million dollars. for a distributing plant, nor by the signing of agreements between the kmunicipality of Toronto and the Hydro Electric Power Commis- sion, which acts under authority of the Ontario Government. Having made prodigious efforts to defeat by-laws at the polls and having, failed; having argued with legit lators and aldermen in vain, how is" it that with agreements signed and' all details under arrangement for the purchase, transmission and dis tribution of energy on the public ownership basis in Toronto and elsewhere, the power people con- tinue to fight and expect to win ? No doubt from first to last their faith in the power scheme put for- ward bythe municipalities and the has been that popular confidence in the projést could be under mined, that dissensions would newspapers would begin to find one excuse or another for offering criticisms and withdrawing sup port. No doubt they felt conf dent that time was on their side, and fhat every week that slipped away allowed much popular 'en thusiasm to evaporate and brought nearer the great day when the Provincial elections would be held. The holding of a general election gives the private backers of big schemes an opening. ~The people, | forgetting everything but" their |" prejudices, fight with each other, | - {and leave gatcs unguarded. The} - | politicians are in need .-{and it is freely of money; offered by the only. persons who know where to gett in large' wads. Not only do poli t § iced money but they usu. Recs i : hope has beea that the publics: : Hydro Electric Commission would |» peter out . No doubt their hope | arise between municipalities, that d If the pe cannot ot assurances thie work v gardics anything that may happen, and if the ministry does' not commit it- self finally before the elections-- there will be 'room for fear that the underpinning has been pulled | away from the project and used as eléction fuel." - Ca a REE ERBRBESS ENTLEMEN are never wholly indif- ferent to style.
