In Mn Sinclair' address of accept- 'ance he made a distinction -between th duties and powers of the Pro- vincial Legislature as a whole, and those of the Government or the ad- 'ministrative body. 'The former can legislate and during the recent ses- sions have enacted many beneficial laws. In the Legislature the U.F.0.| have been assistéd by Liberals and Conservatives alike. In the matwer of administration, however, particularly in the matter of finance, control was in the hands of | the Government,and the figures given heréwith were startling to Mr. Sin- 1] clair in view of the very worthy pro- {li} muse of the U. F. 0. to curtail all un- ll} necessary expenditure. Untario's ordinary revenue when 'the Liberals went out of power in' | 1904 was $6,128,000. when the Conservatives gave up office in 1919 it was $17,819,000, In 1920 it was $25,000,000. 1921 it was 29,000,000. was $35,600,000. Expenditures had a still greater increase. In 1904 the were $5,267, 000. In 1919, $20,000,000. In 1920, $25,880,000. In 1921, with economy plank, $28,500,000. In 1922, $37, 500,000.

F. O, Cabinet. Another matter upon which Mr. Sinclair spoke was the appeintment of some twenty-six commissions by the Provincial Government, not one, of which had been appointed to deal with agricultural matters, and the cost had been some $555,600.99. In addition to this there had been some ixteen committees sitting during re- cess and not one of these had heen dealing exclusively with agricultural affairs. These committees cost $33,- i - A peculiar "feature of the | Provincial expenditures appears in the fact that while general expendi- 'tures had nearly doubled during the past four years, yet the percentage of expenditure on agricultural mat- ters had been reduced one half. The perentages are as follows: 1919,6.17; 1920, 4.97; 1921, 4,28; 1922, 3.08, t the conclusion of his speech, Mr. Sinclair accepted the 'nomination.

Real was asked to take the chair, but declined the honor, as his health has been impaired for some time. Dr, Jas. Moore, there- upon, continued his duties as chair- man; and a nomination ballot was taken to secure the feeling of the convention as to persons considered suitable, to be the Conservative standard bearer. Some fifteen names were thus nominated, including the following: 'Dr. Jas. Moore, Brooklin; Dr. Kaiser, Oshawa; Mr. B. Mothersill, Major R. Smith, Columbus; W. S. Short, Port Perry; A. W.

Moore, Brooklin. «In withdrawirg, one or two of the speakers refer: "1 to the rumor that the South Ontario Conservatives would not put © candidate in the field but would leave the contest to Mr. Sinclair and Ir. Richardson. It soon became e.ident that this idea would not be {avorably received and two ballots were cast. In the first vot Mr. Scott dropped out; and in the second vote Dr. Jas. Moore was de- clared the witner. The choice of Dr. Jas. Moore wus then made unanimous and in a brief speech he accepted the nomination. 'Three or four items in Dr. Moore's .peech might be noted. Belief: in the integrity of his leader Hon, G." Howard Ferguson. Second his unalterable appreciation of the loyalty and progress of the Conserv- ative party as comparing favorably with that of the Liberal party. His claim that Conservative officials had been unduly hounded by the U..F. O. Government.- Lastly that the cam- paign might be conducted without resorting to personalities.

G. Hutcheson, Manager Another item which dught to re- ceive consideration "is the plea of Wellington Hay, that we get back to the idea of spending our own money for local improvements, in schools, highways, etc. The idea has much to commend itself to our thought; but it can be carried to far. Many im- provements and developments would never be carried out at all were it left to individudl municipalities to do the financing. More than that there would be the greatest variety of standards, both in schools and roads, if the matter were left entirely to local self-government and expendi- ture. .It is an unfortunate fact that humanity will not tax itself willingly even for desirable or what should be necessary purposes. There is room for greater economy in road building but that does not im- ply a lower standard, but rather a speeding up and more efficient man- agement of the work. Schools are in the same catigory; we cannot afford to lower the stand- ard or even leave it to the fluctuating interest or lack of interest in the taxpayer.

For a number of years he has given gener- ously of his time to municipal affairs He was deputy reeve and reeve of Pickering and was last year honored with the Wardenship of the County. When the unfinished Toronto Eastern railway passed over to the Dominion Government to become a part of the National system he devoted his ener- gies to getting the powers to under- take the completion of this road from Bowmanville to Toronto. Recently it will be recalled, Sir Henry Thorn- ton, ss President of the National Railways, announced that work would start shortly on the electrifi- cation of this road. When this work is carried out it is his ambition to have the electric in- a basis for the transmission and distribution of tricts. He believes also that the splen~ hydro power and light to the muni- cipalities through which the road pas- ses and to others in the adjacent dis- did public highways which are being built will be a great asset in permit- ting farming interests to get their produce to the markets easily and in creating a large volume of traffic which will flow through South On- tario.
