Like Haruiuc's ghost. it, is always there. " re- prmu-h to the guilty, jealous conscience of the Opposition. Oratorw may touch the anyrenn with their eloquence; journalists ”my build up glowmg Splltr en's“ and clevvt phruses hut nothing appeals to The Prova iike a hard invlut-tahle fact. This surplus is an. trvidence of prudence. ornnmny. and contrivance. The business of running at Govvrnuwnt, is Not, so easy nowadays as it was a genmution ago. when the great Provincial assets of mine and like and forest were practicallyuntouchvd. Gov- ernments. lake departmental stores have to he content now with small pr'ottt.s and many of them. They must econo- mize in management and in all ways (-nrve close to the bone. The Ontario Government has been confronted for a long time with the prospects of direct taxation, but this $2,400,000 surplus seems a pretty solid bulwark between the public and that eventuality. ltis to the credit of the Ross Administration that it has shown so much ingenuity in staving off the day. The spectre of direct taxation haunts many rt Legislature. and makes many calls on their cleverness to allay it. The Ontario Goyernmenthas shown in vat ions ways its willingness to tackle the assessment. problem. There was the commission. for instance, which sat not long ago, The result ofits deliberations will soon be placed before the, public. Doubtless their recommendations will even up the burden without arresting those activities which tend to the devel. opment of the Province and the exploitation of its resources. The cot pomtion tax is, of course, unwelcome in some quarters, but the principle of that iinpost will strike the people as eminently fair-that those. who make most should pay most. As fara.s the tax touches railway. gas. electric, telegraph, and telephone companies. the verdict will be that they are getting full justice. So long as public ownership of public utilities does not enter the sphere of political consideration people will be inclined to say that there companies should pay a fail return for the use of these great and profitable franchises. Some day the State will stepin and take over these franchises, but meanwhile it could hardly he the intention of the Ross or any other Administration to discourage the men and the capital that are infusing vigor into our industrial sud commercial life. These men are entitled to the fair reward of their enterprise. but they must also carry it fair share of the white man's burden. Another increasing source of revenue is the succession duties. which are alniOst double last year's. The. maintenance of public institutions. 8828,291, is the larg- est item of Provincial expenditure t and " ”diced: Woman A bottle of our 300/ Iron and Win: will prove very beneficial.

Druggists & Booksellers Mr Monk, leader and spokesman for the noble six from Quebec, was not prepared to accept all Mr Maclean's statements, and, added he, "I am not going to take up the tune of the House by indicating particularly any legis- lative remedy,-- I do not know any", Clarke Wallace talked all round the question, Joining in the debate upon the principle that West York has got to be heard whenever East York speaks; and Col. Hughes declared that "Billy" had put in an amendment, and then spoken against it. For himself he could support the amendment to take control of the 'Jntereolor,Ll out of the hands of the naughty (Grits, Jam he could not endorse the proposition that the Government should own all the railways of the country. This first serious discussion of the session has demonstrated in a manner almost startling in its completeness, the lack of purpose and policy, or even oi ordinary cohesion in Opposition 1unlo. it indeed it did not golurthcr and prove the inability ot leader and followers alike to grasp thusalicnt points of a great public question, and loriuam coherent opinion thereon. Upon the motion to go into supply on Tuesday, Mr unclean of East York brought up the transportation question, repeating his alarmist contentions uttered lust Week that the Canadian railways were in dangerot'ialling into the hands of aliens, and that to prevent this dire caluinitv the Government should at once secure control ; Proceeding then to point out how easily t?) that could be done. Mr Maclean declared that control could be secured outright, of both the great Canadian systems by the expend- iture of 'i50,000,000, or they could be leased for 999 years for one dollar each perannuui (assuming ot'courso n few hundred millions otliabilities) in Met he thing looked so simple. that the Minister of Finance was; heard to ejaculate sotto voce, "Why we could raise that w, right here". Bat what was the kernel ofthe whole matter? What was the resolution into which Then the new leaders took a hand in, and both ot them were, at special pains to make it clear to the Country that they were not responsible for their supporters views on this the first quest- ion upon which they had had a chance to l'have a policy. Mr Borden was “prepared to support that part oi the resolution which called tor freedom from political interference", --there was nothing also in it anyway ; and upon the only really importautpart of Mr Maclcan‘s speech, that which dealt with state ownership ot railways, the leader madait abundantly clear that he had no opinion sattieierttly formed to give it utterance. _ THE VERSATILE “BILLY" of East York chrystalised his scheme for meeting the impending disaster nothing more nor lessthan a declara~ tion that in order to get the best results from the Government railway system, already existing, "the administration thereot should be freed from all poli- tical infienee and a interference.” Not award about talking action to meet the awful danger which he had so luridly depieted as imminent, indeed if the resolution: meant anything at all, it was adirect negation ot all the speech contained ; because by inference it declared that Government control prevented the best results being secured and the experience of other countries goes to show that direct ministerial control is the only workable method that can be employed in the manage ment ot state-owned tranchises. It in not surprising perhaps, that the Tories are shy of the quesuon in view ot the mess their friends are in, in their man effort towards state control in Manitoba. There the Conservative premier Mr Roblin, has stepped in These succession duties are in the way of poetic justice. They rushe the close- tuted millionaire chsritshle. willy-nilly, They enforce s. public spirit among these who ere Inclined to neglect this obvious duty. Another satisfactory thing about Ontario's financial stste‘ ment is that the revenue from woods and forest. shows an increase of 16t,000 l over lest year. Woods sud forests still [ contribute the largest item of Provmcisl revenue. and, under prudent massac- ment. will continue to do so for many years. Mr Booth of Ottawa recently started that he had one limit from which he had been cutting for forty years. and that he could cut from it for forty years longer and leave it in good shape. This shows what can be done by careful concessionsiros who know what timber to cut and what toleue standing. The Ontario Government has established . Bureau of Forestry, with a progressive superintendent at its head. The duty of this Bureau is to the conservstion of our forest wealth to guard against bush tires by an efficient system ot rangers and to devise plans of reboisement wherever they are necessary. The Government has set aside in Algonquin Park and Temiscemingue two great national parks, which will preserve the watersheds of the country and will be incidentally, treasuriee of standing timber and wild Mme. In every wny the Government indicates u desire .0 husband these nuturel resources, to draw the interest so to Bpetl-t or. to squander the capital. it the plans of the Forestry Department, are carried out successfully there is no reason why the torusts of Ontario should not be as permanent sn ssset to this Province as the forests oflndia are to the British Government.
