During last session of the Leg- , islature. in answer to a question, the in. l i formation was given out that from Tem- iskaming alone over eleven millions were I paid into the Ontario Treasury for min. I ing lands. rents and royalties. This did i I“ not include licensee. registration fees, ) tremendous amount for Company organ- , I ization and Federal taxea As a matter 3 I of fact about fourteen millionahave been [paid in fifteen yeara' Theindustry has employed on an average about three thousand men. Doesn't that mean that one dollar of a man's earnings coca every day to pay the burdens impoaed upon them by our Gnvernmenta in mining taxea alone ? Witt the Province kill the ‘zooae that laid the fourteen milliondol- lar tt ?

Sunk it in time (or thoughtful PM to at "Wharadoua pin-i hare?” "on that the m from tttlet diamante. NortheraOatarlo in» bl Let us look at another of our resources t (the lumber industry.) Have you ever I seen a load of lumber in New Ontario? ' If you have you may be fairly sure that _ the Government of Ontario has been paid twice for that lumber. The Prov. lince sold the timber, Ontario got the money and spent it. Alter some time the Province got hard up. There was a . come back. A tax clone dollar a thous- . and, called "Stumpage Tax," was put . on the lumbermen. Alter another lapse of time the Provlnt: got harder up than ') ever. Then the Government came back , again and put on another additional tax lofone dollar upon every thousand feet 1 i manufactured by the iumbermen. Sur-) 5er the industry that has paid already) ltwice for their raw material should bel l left alone. Hany one has short changed T the Province let him be made to pay the, luttermost farming. but to talk ot more ltaxes on lumber, an industry that can I hardly now compete-with the imported, lprnduct, seems to be sheer folly. on. ?tario must orepare for a steady decline 5 In revenue from forest products But Ontario, not tatiUied Iwi‘h this, went further. It passed an edict that no man could uurvey a piece of his own land into town lots-at least he could not register such until he had first made a present to theCrown of one quarter of all the lots surveyed. Not even content with that, the Province passed another law forbidding any person settling on the lot or the lot adjacent to that which the G. T. P. passed through. To-day you could not get a marfto accept as a pres- ent, any townsite in Northern Ontario. The Province :was absolutely merciless, and as a result oneof our great resources is now of no value at all an revenue getter. Everfa new district like Temiskaming, has reflected the life and sentiment of Old Ontario. Fifteen years ago all the Government required to do was to have a surveyor put in a few pegs in I piece of land. then give it a name and call it a Towneite. ZIP! One hundred. two hun- dred, four, five hundred a lot-fifty, one hundred, two hundred thousand for a fraction of a Townsite. During the first years of the century we were governed by a Party that had been in power far too long. It certainly was time fora change. But with the change came a new and unforeseen cala. mity from which to-day. we are suffering. The City of Toronto with its extraord- inary selfishness and cupidity, found for the first time a Government within her boundaries with which she was all power- ful. From that time there went on a centralization and concentration of all our institutions and a building up of City sentiment. As a result the history of the smaller Cities and Towns and the rural lifeof the Province has been one unbroken tragedy. The changes which we have experienced are the result of many causes, so many that I have neither the space nor the inclination to go into here. I mention only one (our Provincial government). Some people think one Government is about as good as another. They say it is only a matter of one party being out and another in. lam far trom accept- ing that view. On the contrary I believe that many of our troubles can be proper- .ly laid at the door of our various admin- istrations. Under the above caption in the New Linkeard Speaker, Mr Angus McKelvic. an old Egremont boy, and well known in Durham pours hotshot into government' past, and present with an especial bomb for the protiteer. The article will be found readable for Angus knows what' he is talking about-none better ; "In every epoch of the world's history changes have been going on continually. There has been no such thing as stand- ing still. But at no time and in no place hlve changes, more in number, of a more startling character, and having more serious results occurred than what we have eeen in our own Province of Ont- ario. Very many of these changes are not for the better. The parents have lost much of their authority in the home. The Church has lost much of its power in the community. Law and Order is not obeyed nor respected as formerly. Crime is on the increase. The City Daily Journals are regarded with utter contempt. Our educational institutions are deteriorating and our rural popu- lation is declining. "Princes and Lords may flourish or may tade, A breath can make them " a breath hath made.
