Ottawa, June 7.—With a big vote, but with the Government majority showing signs of dwindling with every vote of importance. the budget proposals went through the House while the rays of sWednesday morning's sun streaked through the eastern windows of the chamber. the members were tired, but they were all in their places kw the big occasion. The Government whips reported only four absentees. Members' wives, daughters and lady friends to tete number of a score or more stayed "until the last dog was hung" and the last of the back -benchers had made his annual pilgrimage on to the pages of Hansard. The debate seemed intermin- able, but there was a relentless resolve on the part of whips and party leaders to end the debate before the House rose from its Tuesday sitting; and they succeeded. Thereby a week wa saved from the debate. Had the vote gone over, it would not likely have been taken Wednesday. Friday is a bad day for a big vote and there is a sort of understanding that the Quebec and Ontario men maw slip away from Friday until Monday without the business of the country suffering. That would have delayed the vote until"I'ucs- day of next week, and consequtntty do lased the business of the House for an equal length of time. Now the !IOUs! is in committee on the budget proposals, and while there maty be minor changes here and there, the prin- ciple of the budget has been accepted, or forced on the country by the strength of the Government majority, and therefore that principle stands. ----- The last couple of days of the debate were replete with interest. Hon. T. A. Crerar opened on Monday and made a splendid impression on his hearers. He commended the Minister of Finance for his courage in introducing his taxation proposals. the roore so because It needed courage to introduce taxation which was bad. The Minister had called them luxury tapes, but. said Mr. Crerar, he would find they bore most heavily on the people who could not afford to pay them. The luxunes had escaped, and the woollen clothinv, which the poor man must wear had to pay the taxes. Velvet and silk embroideries bore no greater share of the taxation than did the IA cap whtcn a mare on the prairies must wear for many months of the year. Dealing with the business profits tax, Mr. Crerar said it was all right as a war measure, but indetensible as a peace measure. Under it, however, the Govern- ment had not collected one-tenth of the amount it shoul have one. e t com tax increases about which so much had been said. amcunted to little or nothing. Joy and flladneas.for fhb Children. Every child, whether it be poor or rich, is entitled to joy and gladness. Health is the birthright of all and there is absolutely no doubt that tbe healthy baby is a happy baby. It is the baby's nature to be happy—not cross. Only the sickly baby is cross. The well child is a joy to the home—it is alaughing, gurgling, happy little piece of humanity which drives dull care from the household. The sickly baby is the opposite—he is cross and peevish ; cries a great deal and is a source of constant worry to the mother. But, mothers. there is no need of your little ones being sickly. Regulate the baby'sbowels and sweeten his stomach with a gentle but thorough laxative and baby will soon be well and happy again. Thousands of mothers have proved this through their use of Baby's Own Tablets —there is a smile in every dose of the Tablets. Give them to your baby and make him happy. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from the Dr. N illiams Medicine Co.. Brockville, Ont. The men with the big incomes paid little or nothing. while the men between *5.000 i and *10,000 paid most heavily. The Government had been hedging and I dodg ng on the tariff policy fur a long time ; now the House and the country had at last been given a little Tight. The Government stood for the old National Policy. There never had been any doubt as to where the National Progressives stood on the tariff. That had been made clear time and again, said the member from Marquette. The fiscal pulICY of Great Britain would be a very admirable one for Canada. The tariff policy of the Canadian Council of Agriculture did not call for absolute free trade. It demanded that tools and implements of production be made free and that the cost of neces. sine- of lite should be reduced. Mr Crerar devoted some time to an- swenng Hon. Arthtr Meighen's assertions regarding the position of England under free trade. The Minister of the Intents had worked himself up into a fervor earlier in the debate, and painted a dark picture of the Mother Country to demonstrate the evils of such a policy. He had talked of millions of people starving because of free trade. and of other countless millions being driven from their homes to wander about and seek work in the factories of the United States ur elsewhere. Hon. Arthur's friends did not tike his effort particularly. and some of them ev, n went 1 so far as to compare his budget speech Are you willing -- To forget what you have done for other people; and to remember what other people have done for you ?

The leader of the Progres•.tves took up Mr. Meighen's arguments point ley point, and in the end had Own pretty welt dissected. Hon. Mackenzie King and Hon. N. W. Rowell took a hand in the game on the last day. Mr. King appealed to all of a progressive frame of mind to stand to- gether and fight the common enemy," the Government. Not only, he claimed, did the Government load down the poor people with taxes white it allowed Its friends to escape, but it refused to listen to the voice of the people when the people said "get out." Mr. King made a strong speech. but he repeated the error he had made on vanous occasions in the House, and talked too long. He made a three-hour speech, and 'hen continued for some time. When 6 o'clock came, the House wanted to rise for supper, but Mr. Kirig said he had but a few Minutes more and continued. Then, not satisfied to wind up his argument. he read lengthy statements on this and that. and kept the House waiting for another thirty-five minutes. The one great fault in Mr. King's speethes Is that he has not yet learned when to end them. Hon. N. W. Rowell supplied a little flag-waving in the evening. The Opposi- tion had objected to the payment of some 5121.000,000 by the Government w there were'no vouchers for it. Mr. Rowe said there were now something like a hundred boxes of these vouchers ahich had been received from England and he would produce them if the*Liberals wanted to read them. Then the flag-waving came —that money had been used tp pay the soldiers over in France. and Would the Opposition have held up payment to the soldiers for the mere matter of a few vouchers here or there. It was not w neatly done as it might have been. The debate. wh ch Issted from May IS to June 2 was full of interest. and outsid- ers who had heard or read most of It seem inclined to the opinion that tbe Progressives had the best of it. so far as any of the groups went. Certainly they. added to their strength in the course of the two weeks' talk. In addition to the Mews. Wright and Buchanan, who last week refused to .support the Governmenj proposals, J. A. Campbell, of Nelsen, Man . took his stand against the continu- ance of protection in the tariff. Davis'of Neepawa stood pat. The vote was 120' to M. cutting the Government's majority down to 26 on the greatest occasi0a of tete session_- y_ ' The members now talk of being home by July 1. Outside of the taxation reso- lutions, which do not appear likely to take up a great deal of time. the franchise bill is the chief conte ntious measure left. There are a lot of smaller bills and reso- lutions on the order apper, but some of them are liable to be left there until next session. A rather interesting fight on the in- demnities question has developed. The msjority of the Government and Liberal members want the increase and thele was talk of a round robin. So far, none ap- pears to have actually been started, but members have approached the Govern- ment and, according to Sir Robert Borden. they received a non -committal answer. The feeling is general, however, that the increase will be granted by some way or other. Several of the m. mbers have taken the attitude that. while they are entitled to it. they feel that now would be a bad time to put any such increase into effect. especially while the Government is sending "economy" appeals far and wide through the country. Increasing the in- demnity now would mean a cool half - million per session. The Commoners are apparently going to escape morning sittings this year, and Saturday sittings have been sidetracked for the time being at least. Instead, they are meeting now at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, which seems a much better system than having a half -empty House through two hours In the morning. The suggestion of 2 o'clock sittings was made by Hon. T. A. Crerar, and though some of the members do not like it there has been little wide- spread kicking. As a means. perhaps. of demonstrating what it can do when the need arises, the House got busy tonight on Public Works Department estimates. and almost with a wave of the hand swept thousands of dollars' wort hof them through. The apprc- priations for each Province tent through like greased lightning and there begins to arise in the breasts of all who are tied down to work in the House during the` session a hope that the burst of energy will continue, so that some of the summer gladness may be enjoyed. Should this unusual burst of speed be continued long enough, there appears to be no reason why the sessi 'n should not end in June, but on the other hand it will be two weeks before a report is brought down by the special committee on pensions and re-establishment and that will have to be digested and threshed out before the legislators can go home with an easy conscience and a feeling that their indemnity has been well and truly earned.
