It ended up in a ploughed field. The road hogs were slow drivers, and drivers who held the middle of the road, or made the curves badly.

Down in Essex County an, experiment is to be made with a new type of road surfacing called a "salt road." In order to build this type of road a chemical analysis is taken to deâ€" termine the gravel and clay content of the roadbed. After the surface has been scarified to a depth of about three inches the required amount of salt is mixed in and cunâ€" solidated. The result is a road similar to concrete in point of hardness and durability, it is claimed. A numâ€" ber of roads of this type were put in in the State of Michigan a year ago and have stood up well under traffic. Winter frosts have not affected them either, it is said. It is elaimed that repairs are easily made as all that is required is an application of the mixture of salt and gravel to any depressions or potâ€"holes that, might be eaused by heavy traffic. It is dustless and only requires an available water supply while it is being constructed. This style of surfacing is to be tried out in Simcoe county says The Collingwood Bulletinâ€"Enterprise, Chairman Crawford of the County Roads Comm"s;ion stating that an experiment will be made on a mile of road. if it measures up to the claims made for it, this kind of road would provide a fairly durable surface at small cost. It should be given a thorough test.

"You‘ll not meet them again for three months, at least," added the magistrate, and the story was closed. As the Owen Sound Sunâ€"Times quite reaâ€" sonably says, "we admit having a certain respect, of a sort, for the fellow who holds up a bank or goes into a house at night to help himnself to what he can find That takes a certain amount of nerve. But the miserâ€" able apology for a man who would take advantage of another‘s infirmity to steal from him what the poor blind chap probably could ill afford to loseâ€"well, if we tried to express it here it would certainly not pass the censor. "Stealing candy from ‘a baby‘" has been characterized as the meanest of crimes, but it has very little on stealing from a blind man. We leave you to fit the proper language to your opinion." _Une cannot read the newspapers from various parts of Ontario without realizing that there is a strong feelâ€" ing of resentment at the way the new beer regulations are working out," says The Barrie Examiner. The Simcoe Reformer commenting editorially on the great increase in drunkenness, says, "Soon the streets will not be safe for women and children after dark." Referring to the "strong criticism" of the new beverage rooms the Owen Sound Sunâ€"Times says: "Much of the criticism comes from people who are moderate drinkers and who are astounded at the increasing drunkenness and the disorder which follows the beverage room:" None of the papers quoted are unfriendly to the Hepburn Government. They may be said to represent the country viewpoint, but many city people hold similar views. In Toronto the other day, we were talking to a taxi driver whom we know to be a Liberal and not by any means a prohibitionist. "If this beer business is not better controlled it will wreck the Government," is how he expressed himself and thouâ€" sands of others who voted Liberal in the June elections feel the same way about it. Premier Hepburn is adâ€" mittedly a busy man yet he will do well to find time to give serious consideration to the widespread resentment regarding the effect of "this beer business." the dominion. May The Gleaner continue to grow and prosper. Many people in Ontario are shocked and saddened these days by the uncouth and undignified language and the crude attitude of mind displayed publicly on so many occasions by the new premier of Ontario. Never before has Ontario had a premier specializing in barnyard humâ€" our and the manners of the bull pen. Previous premiers have shown respect to others and accordingly proved that they respected themselves. It is too bad that Hon. Mr. Hepburn was never taught that at least other people are entitled to some degree of respect, whatever he may know about himself. Heaping contumely and cheap slur upon faithful public servants with long records of good work is no credit to anyone. Therc is nothing clever or bold about #t.â€"Porcupine Advance. Half a century ago The Montreal Witness was read in a considerable percentage of the homes of thoughtful people of the dominion. John Redpath Dougal] was its editor from 1870. He died last week at the age of 93 years. A strong man who maintained an unswerving allegiance to his principles, J. R. Dougall as an editor emâ€" braced the cause of free trade, advocated ‘Liberalism, preached uncompromising temperance, upheld the rights of Protestantism, opposed barviers among Christians and steadfastly campaigned for complete civil and religious equality. Mr. Dougall served his paper 73 years without accepting salary or dividends. He belonged to the same Dougall strain that once lived on the Anderdon front above Amherstburg. The place where Walter Papst and family live is still called the Dougall home. "One cannot read the newspapers NOTE AND COMMENT , of his belief in the scarcity of water, he at first might be sparing in his i use of it, afraid to avail himself too freely of his new privilege, lest there . again be an insufficiency.

Mr. N. W. Rowell, a former leader of the Ontario Liberal party answers Mr. Hepburn as follows: "I am glad our Prime Minâ€" ister is in Geneva at the present time, notwithstanding the other views exâ€" pressed. I think that is where he should be. There is no question more vital to the homes of Canada than that of international coâ€"operation." A few weeks ago it was announced by Attorneyâ€"General Roebuck that one Police Magistrate would discharge the duties in Peel and Halton. Mr. L. J C. Bull was appointed. Last week a very strong deputation of Halton county Liberals, headed by Mr. Blakelock, M.P.P., informed Mr. Roebuck that Halton must have a magistrate of its own. Following the interview it was announced that the former Halton magistrate would be reâ€"appointed. Hon. Mr. King and Premier Hepburn have announced their opposition to the trade agreements entered into at the Ottawa conference, the former declarâ€" ing that he will cancel them if successâ€" ful in the next election. Hon. E. J. Davis, of Newmarket, a prominent Libâ€" eral in a speech the other day expressed the following opinion: "When the Premier of Canada decided to call a mecting of representatives from all parts of the Empire they met and made arrangements which laid the foundations for one of the greatest developments that we can imagine in the British Empire.

Political Notes progress of our country. The 1934 Loan is not an incidental effort. It is a partâ€" and an essential partâ€"of the great debt conversion proâ€" mme in which E:nada has been engaged since 1931, and E;which we are refunding at maturity the large sums borrowed for wartime purposes. â€" The national importance of this g:)grammerâ€"und of the 1934 Loan as part of itâ€" cannot be over emphasized. 1t is important from three aspects: 1â€"National Credit; 2â€"National Economy; 3â€" National Recovery. I shall deal with each of these in turn. HE Dominion of Canada will offer for public subâ€" scription within the next few days the 1934 Refunding Loari. It is an undertaking of such significance to every citizen that I think it fitting to present this brief explanation of its close relation to the wclare and continued. 1. National Credit National credit means to a nation what an honest reputaâ€" tion means to a man. Its maintenance is a primary essential and necessitates that each obligation Ee met, fully and promptly, as it comes due. Our debt conversion programme is then, in the first instance, our method of meeting our obligations and thus maintaining our credit. By _ this pwfiramme Canada has _ already refunded $858,000,000 of maturing wartime debt, and completion of the 1934 Loan will hrin;f the refunded total to over one billion dollars. _ As a result, Canada‘s credit stands notably h‘i-gh. hfih at home and in the great money markets of Striking evidence of our high credit standing was given within the last few months when Canada SQ(‘!.II'NF imâ€" mediate ©verâ€"subscription of a longâ€"term loan in London at a price to md the investor less than 3!4% and, in l:lew_ Yoyk, o Il‘ll‘l.i‘ a oneâ€"year Loan of $50,000,000 Ee e o e es ie e e itaey bearing interest at 2 per cent. And there is equally striking evidence at lvhvlgrmnl, moment in the fact that every internal issue of Dominion of Canada Bonds now outstanding is selling today at substantially above its issue price. The twelveâ€"year 4% Bonds of the 1933 Refunding Loan, issued at 96/5, are now selling at 104 to yield approximately 34 %. viding substantial savings in public interest charges. m d:"i"{ which we are refunding _was incurred wi|h‘;:~ terest rates at artificially high wartime peaks. Refunding is now being accomplished with interest rates throughout the world moving steadily downward toward more normal levelsâ€"an en«mmaingsworld movement which is essential to business recovery. By refunding under these conditions Cnmhhs-irmdyobmimdareduflhmoflhemvhm interest charges nmmmti:? to more than $9.000,000 per annum, and completion of the 1934 Loan will provide a further saving of over $5,000,000 per annum. The annual saving of over $14,000,000 thus secured has a direct cash bmt'at to every taxâ€"payer: This saving has much more than offset the interest charges on the debt :'Mhnhamimmuimh:tbarnmwdinm!m unemployment relief. It has, to a considerable extent, offset the heavy burdens which the dfm‘wn period Nas iqnad!hhm to railway and other curtent requireâ€" imposed with respect to railway and other curtent requireâ€" ments. llwm‘mlhnytommm'ith the return to better times. 2. National Economy The debt cmfl';rsionl programme, in the second place, is Pc2 ooo o e n stt WB . DOMINION or CANADA 1934 REFUNDING LOAN A Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada A FURTHER STEP the Road to Recovery like this we can develop our trade even though all the rest of the world should block us out."

Mr. King held office without a majority from 1921 until he was defeated on the Customs scandal. But he says Mr. Bennett should dissolve parliament and rush the country into a general election alâ€" though backed by a large majority and in most of the important votes receivâ€" ing support from the farmer and indeâ€" pendent group. The Brantford Expositor, Liberal, has the following which answers Mr. King‘s talk about a general election: "No matter how much noise the Oppoâ€" sition may make, Premier Bennett, within constitutional limits, is the sole judge of the time in which he should appeal to the people. A spokesman of the Federal Government put it forceâ€" fully when he said: "We are here and we will dissolve Parliament when we think it fit and proper, Parliament repâ€" resents the people and, so long as the Government commands a majority there, it is entitled to remain for the full five years of its term." This is perfectly true, and there is nothing in the constitutional practice of governâ€" ments in British countries to disprove it. Anything to the contrary is mere idle talk and calculated to appeal to unthinking people. There have been times when political leaders have been influenced perhaps by the trend of byâ€" elections, but that was their own afâ€" fair. Those who are clamoring for a The debt conversion which Canada has achieved since 1931, by thus maintaining national credit and securing national economy, has been a major factor in our progress toward business recovery; frmone A year ago, preliminary to the 1933 Refunding Loan, I took occasion to exj the belief that Canada had passed the low point of J ion and was definitely upon the road to recovery. my, our progress toward recovery is a matter of established fact.
