(Glaring headlamps have been the cause of countless accidents during the past years, and up until new, there has been no law forcing drivâ€" ers to turn down their lights when meetine other traffic. In brief, the new section states that motcrists failing to dim their headlamns when they come within 500 feet of an appreaching vehicle will be presecuted. and it is the sinâ€" cere intention of the government to see that it is put into immedilate eRfect . , °C _ power who would do scmethinz | other thar talk about the National ‘l)ebt, the Railway problem, the unâ€" | balanced budget, and the highest tax collections that had been made ‘since the time of Confederation, | The King government, he declared, ; could take a lesson from the old | adage about making a coat accordâ€" ing to the cloth that was at hand . | Taxes, he declared, were the hlgh-‘ they had ever been, and still there {was no change in favor of a balâ€" anced budget nor any reduction of the national debt.

The present gcvernment, he deâ€" clared, had failed to institute any measure whatever of economy. Since 1936, the number of civil servants employed â€" had increased by 2000 The country, he declared, were payâ€" ing 245 men to look after the affairs of state, and these were duplicating that work by appointing commisâ€" sions of one kind and another to do the work for them, paying them enormous amounts of money, and showing little result of their work.| A wholeâ€"hearted tribute to a Grey old boy, Hector McKinnon, is made by the Ottawa Journal.
