FARMERS PROTEST
DISCRIMINATION IN
FREIGHT RATES
The farmers of the district in a
meeting at Belgrave on Friday night
at which C. R. Coultes was chairman,
and at Wingham on Saturday night
with, W. J. Henderson, chairman, dis
cussed the unequal freight rates.
The export rate on Ontario wheat
flour was raised .^not long ago from
ISVs cents per hundredweight to 21
cents, while the rate on Western flour
from Bay ports to Montreal is 13
cents. It is possible also to bring in
to Ontario United States soft wheat
of a quality equal to that grown in
Ontario, pay the duty, mill it and ship
the flour to Montreal for export at
the same rate enjoyed by Western
flour. The duty is returnable when
the product is exported.
The situation is serious for both
farmers and millers, especially the
former, because it is a development
likely to become permanent unless
something is done to restore the more
favorable conditions prevailing up to
the last few years. The crux of the
matter seems to lie in the fact that
Ontario wheat is discriminated ag
ainst through freight charges on ex
port flour as compared with freight
on Western hard wheat flour. There
is little, if any, competition between
the two kinds of flour for baking pur
poses. Each has its place. Yet On
tario flour cannot get into the mar
kets as cheaply as Western flour.
The problem has been brought to
the attention of the railways repeat
edly in recent months, and also has
been taken up with the Minister of
Transport and Minister of Trade and
Commerce at Ottawa.
The view taken by shippers is that
Ontario mills, practically all of them
inland, are punished for lack of wat
er-borne competition. They must use
the rails for shipments. The farmer,
in the end, has to ..absorb the increas
ed cost along withT'tiie*‘nsk of a re
duced demand for his wheat.
At Belgrave, the following resolu
tion was passed: “Resolved that we,
the farmers of this vicinity at this
meeting held in Belgrave, urgently
request the Dominion Government to
take such action as will remove the
discrimination now existing against
Ontario farmers by reason of high
freight rates on Ontario wheat and
Ontario wheat products now existing
in Ontario.
A similar resolution was passed in
Wingham on Saturday. Copies of the
resolutions were forwarded to C. A.
Robertson, M.L.A., Hon. W. D. Eul
er, Minister of Trade and Commerce,
and Hon. C. D. Howe, Minister of
Railways.

PREVIOUS RECORD
GOOD - RECKLESS
CHARGE DISMISSED
“This case is on the border line and
I’m going to give you the benefit of
the doubt,” stated Magistrate J. A.
Makins in Wingham police court on
Thursday as he dismissed a charge
of reckless driving laid against 68-
ycar-old William Henderson, Tees
water, result of an accident. Hender
son, returning with a party of young
people from Kintail on June 27th,
struck the girder of a bridge south
of Whigham on the London-Whig
ham road. The car turned over with
the result that several of the young
people were injured* and the car
wrecked. In evidence it was shown
that the. driver had been blinded by
the lights of ^pproahclng cars, and
because of the narrowness of the
bridge and rain he struck the side of
the bridge approach. Henderson has
been driving for 32 years and this is
the first accident he has ever had.
Prior to the accident he had returned
from, a B,000-mlte motor trip. Magis
trate Makins dismissed the case.
