ELLIOT% P nnLIenBa AND PROPRIETOR THURSDAY, 1 4 1908, that the original mortgage on the road did not cover the terminals. He did not give the Opposition time inwhtob to investigate it, It had been before the Conservative party caucus, but the Grits were not entitled to any favors from the Government, and they were expected to gulp down the dose without a grimace, Two days later the business of the House was rushed to a close, designedly it would seem, and the bill was given its taird reading at a session whioh was called hail an hour before the usual hour. Later Mr. MacKay, the leader of the Opposition, in reading over the act of. 1904 disoovered that it provided for a first mortgage on all the property, mole- I ILLS OF able and immovable, building, plant, rolling stock and revenues present and future. If there were any thing defec- tive about the mortgage the Whitney Government had to assume the reeponei- bility, since it was not given until 1906, two years after the maps and records had been filed for iuspeotiou. The scandal deepens and becomes in- defensible as a consequence, and it is not relieved in the slightest by the gross deception of the premier. He intimates that the Liberals knew the facts. They did not, or there would have been a more emphatic protest against the deal. It was, indeed, smuggled through „the House, and became effective when some of the members were away from Toron- to, and unconscious of what was going on. Some expressed dissatisfaction, and they were in the counsels of party, and conveniently absented themselves from the session which gave the full effect. NOTES AND COMMENTS Help strengthen the Opposition in the Legtalature by voting for John T. Gurria. The farmers of North Huron should vote to send John T. Carrie to the Legislature. Show the Whitney Government that they cannot "fisc' ridings to elect sup. porters, by casting your ballot on June Bch for John T. Currie. The farmers should be represented in the Legislature. The farmers of North Huron can help send a good representative in voting for Johu T. Currie. oeipts, its financial showing would be dc•p'arable. In the first plane, the revenue from suoeeesion duties, which the Conservative part at one time con- demned, has been aborarally large. Then there hag been a substantial in- crease in the subsidy from the Domia• ion, while the mining discoveries at Cobalt, aa a result of the wise railway legislation of the Rosa Government, have added greatly to the provincial in- come. The Government is reaping the reward of the progressive policy ofj its predecessors, but it, is belying de pre- eleotion prooeesions, J. T. Carrie, the Liberal nominee for North Huron, is putting up an energetic campaign with a hopeful outlook. Pronounced Conservatives say they will not poll a vote for the Whitney representative but will stay at home or vote for Carrie. Every' Liberal in the riding should hustle in view of the near approach of the elec- tion. Make Jane 8th a red letter day in the gerrymandered riding of North Huron. -Brussels Post. The Liberate of North Heron should take the advice given above, The electors of North Huron can show the Whitney Govern- ment that the riding hal not been fixed solid enough. Vote for John T. Currie. Mr. Whitney's campaign cry will be the "square deal." The Ontario Square deal will go down in history with the Republican cant about a "full dinner pail," now a ghastly tantalizing mem- ory. The law reform of the Whitney Gov- ernment was to increase its expenditures to the lawyers aboat 1,000 per cent. Their legal expenses for last year, in- cluding special commissions, was $133,- 620; as against $14,000 in 1904. The Liberals of North Bruce have nominated John Tolmie, M. P. of Kin- cardine for the Commons, and 0. M. Bowman of Southampton, for the Legia• lettere. D. M. Jermyn, of Wiarton, who has been twice defeated by Mr. Bowman, will again be the Conserva- tive candidate. The official campaign pamphlet of the Provincial Conservative party will probably be withdrawn from circulation. It contains a grossly libellous statement regarding a number of well-known gentlemen who in 1903 were acting as commissioners for the construction of the Temiskaming Railway, and who had been appointed to that piaoe of trust because of their knowledge of railway constr notion and finance. One of the singular circumstances of the present political campaign was provided on Saturday when two broth• ers were nominated for the Legislature, one by the Liberals and the other by the Conservatives. Join M. Godfrey, a lawyer, will be the Liberal candidate in the gerrymandered constituency of Peel, and Forbes Godfrey, a physician, will carry the Conservative banner in the adjoining riding of West York. The Conservatives, when in Opposi• tion, moved resolutions and made speeches condemning the extravagance of the Liberal Government, end promis- ing reform in this reepeot. What has been the result? In 1903 the total ex- penditure of the. Province was $4.448,- 9S3; in 1905, the year the Conservatives took power, it became $5,396,019, and it advanced by leaps and bounds till this year an expenditure of $8,000,000 is slated, an increase of 60 per cent. in five years. -Brantford Expositor. Christian Guardian: Like some other good Methodists, apparently he (Hon. Mr. Hanna) does not know as much about his church as he should, and is not as careful a reader of its discipline and rules as he might be Last week in the debate in the Legis- lature over tba three-fifths clause of the liquor bill he sought to justify that one-sided arrangement by a ref- erence to the methods of church courts. The impression that Mr. Hanna evident- ly tried to give' was that nearly every matter brought before a church court required either a three-fifths or a three- fourths vote to • settle it. Even if a Methodist minister, he told the House, disgraced himself and his church, he could not be removed without a three- fourthe vote. This will certainly be news to many. The fact of the matter is that a bare majority is effective in the Methodist church in every question, save when it is sought to change or modify the constitution of the church. To make this illustration of any effect whatever, Mr. Hanna would have to admit that the liquo>k,traffic was a part of the constitution of the Province, that could not be touched save by a prepon- derating vote of the people. And being a good Methodist he would hardly ad- mit that. FOUR YEARS OF EXTRAVA- GANCE. BABYHOOD AND OF CHILDHOOD.

(London Advertiser) One of the cries raised against the Ross Government by Mr, Whitney and his political friends when in Opposition was that of "extravagance." The public expenditure they said, was altogether too great, and should they be returned to power one of the first matters that would engage their attention would be the re- duction of expenses. Economy would be their watchword. Well, they have been given control of the purse -strings, and what has been the result? How have their promises of economy been carried out? In 1904, the last year of Liberal rale, the total ex. penaiture was $55,267,453. Since then it has advanced by leaps and bounds. The appended table shows the expenditure for eaoh of the four years of Whitney rule: 1905 1956 1907 1908......, Thus Mr. Whitney completes his fourth year of office with an expendi- ture of $2,641,752 in excess of that in the last year of the Ross Government. In its four years of offioe the Whitney Government has increased the per capita expenditure to as great �an ex- tent as its predecessors did in their thirty-three years of power. It is noteworthy that much of this increase is charged against civil gov- ernment, that is, the civil service, which comes directly ander the control of the ministers themselves. Then there are the commissioners. Never has there been so much government by commis- sion as in the past three years. Last year $114,700 was spent in commissions alone, some of it for work for which the Government was ashamed to assume direct responsibility; for example, the unjustifiable and brutal dismissals of civil servants. But for the fact that the present Government has been singularly- for- tunate in the way of extraordinary re - 'The Teems does not know who was responsible for the carving of Heron in the recent gerrymander. It makes very little difference whether the ridings were drafted by local Conservatives or by the Government. Ole thing we do know, is that the oonnty was so arranged that it would elect two Conservatives and the Liberals were hived in Centre Huron. Many Conservatives in North Heron do not approve of this method of carving up the county. A good way in which to show the Government that the gerrymander is not popular in this sec. tion is for the independent electors to vote for the Liberal candidate, Mr, John T, Carrie. The Whitney Government began very well and gave promise o: much useful - NORTH HURON CAMPAIGN, Mr. John T. Carrie, the Liberal can- didate, is hard at work in visiting the different parts of the riding. Ile has thus far met with success and the Liber- als in all parts of the riding are doing good work. While we have an ad- verse majority of over two hundred in the riding this is no reason why the Lib- erals should not be hopeful. Majorities as large as this have been turned and, it can be done in North Huron if every Liberal does his full duty. Every friend of Mr, Currie in the riding should get to work in the 0anvas and give their candidate a whole•hearted enpport. The Whitney Government has not ful- filled its promises. It has fallen down on almost every pledge it made before reaching the treasury benches. The ex- penditure has been enormously increas- ed, ncreas- ed .the axe of the spoils system wielded with heartless disregard of consequences to its victims; the license system has been worked to party ends, needed legis- lation looking to law reform has been side-tracked, a gerrymander introduced to atifla opposition; Huron County being one of the counties fixed up to elect two Government supporters and have the Grits hived in the centre rid- ing. This one act alone should be suf- ficient grounds for tars fair-minded electors of North Huron to support Mr. Currie. the traffioing in railway guars antees and mining grants in the closing seseion has brought warm contests from many Conservatives. Many Liberate, who at the last election voted against their party's candidates are now work- ing hard to secure the election of Liber- als. The Government has had too large a majority and the electors of North Huron can help strengthen the Opposition by voting for Mr. Currie. Another point in Mr. Currie's favor is that he is a farmer, and North Heron being largely composed of rural monis oipalities, the farmers can have one of themselves in the Legislature if they Will threw party to one side and 'support the Liberal candidate. 'We hope to see Mr. Currie and his army of faithful workers victorious on the 8th of Jane.
