THE COMING CENSUS As the time approaches for the tak- ing of the census, guesses are ven- tured as to how Ontario will fare in the next redistribution of Federal Seats. At present this Province has 82 members as against 65 representa- tives of Quebec. Enthusiasts are not lacking in Lower Canada who main- tain that the impending enumeration will almost wipe out the advantages which Ontario’s population now gives it in the Federal legislation and that ten years hence the star of ‘Quebec will be definitely in the ascendant. The philoprogenitiveness of the habi- tant has been more than a match for the immigration into Ontario. The remarkable growth of Montreal has also to be considered by the caleu- lator; and the boosters of that city foretell ever increasing material pros. perity on the ground that too “pro- gressive” legislation is driving both labor and capital away from compet- ing centres.
