Ottawa. May 16.—The vote on the budget, the bid event of the parliamentary session, is within reaching distance, and the Government finds itself faced with a solid Liberal -Farmer opposition. So the majority will not be overly Targe, though it will be sufficient to justify continuing until "the last dog ishung" and au appeal to the country' is forced by the passage of time. Budget day is always. a great day in the Commons, and this year it was no exception. The mem- bers' wives, cousins, listen and aunts, together with those members of the civil service who had sufficient time and in- clination, crowded into the galleries to hear Sir Henry Drayton make his annual effort at showing that the finances of the country were better wider his handling than they could have been under anyone else's. The Budget Speeeh. There's one thing about a budget speech : half of the Finance Minister's hearers don't catch the array of figures he is hurling forth, and the other half get them from Hansard the following morn - nig. so it woiks out all right in the end. This year Sir Henry has developed an overJue of caution. though the contents of his budget do not seem to warrant the extreme measured and the extreme secrecy of course which he had followed. Because Ottawa is on daylight saving time, pre- sumably. and the stock exchanges might not be , losed when the contents of his speech were sent out over the wires, tete Minister of Finance decided to smash precedents to atoms and wait until even- ing before he.talked. There is welling in the budget which !shows a tendency to reduce the cost of living. The few remaining luxury taxes I are gone. but on playing cards, wines and spirits the taxes remain. The business profits tax is dropped. but the sales tax is almost dodbled to make up for that. The anti-dumping provisions are strengthened and there is provision for computing customs duties, taking advantage of the exchange rate of th- country of origin where that is adverse to Canada. Imported goods are to be marked with the name of the country of their origin. Foodstuffs in their natural state and products of the farm and forest are free of the sales tax. There are some discrepancies, however. Floor in packages of less than forty-eight pounds is taxed, while over forty-eight pounds it is free.

"I just don't believe anything could have helped me more than Tanlac has, for I am now en)oying as good health as anyone could wish," said Mrs. Clerilda Clements, of 90 Inspector street, Monts real, Ont. h began to trouble me "My stomach and worse until about two years ago, grew w 1 could not eat anything without it dis- tressing 'rte. My appetite became ex- tremely poor, the gas on my stomach was awful and 1 suffered also from terrible cramps. My nerves lust seemed to be worn to a frizzle. my step was broken and restless and every morning I just felt that I didn't have the strength to last through the day. 1 could not attend to my housework and felt that I was growing weaker and weaker each day. "I decided to try Tanlac and i was really surprised at the way I began to improve. I continued to take It until now i don't believe, 1 was ever in better health. My digestion is splendid and I can eat lust anything I like and It doesn't seem to disagree with me in the least. My nerves are as steady as 1 could want them and i can now lie down at night and sleep like a baby. l feel much stronger and can now attend to-tey housework. I owe so much to Tanlac that I will never get through praising It." The Opposition .4meeidment. A Liberal amendment, which is tieing supported by the Agrarian group, regrets the absence of the long -promised general tariff revision. It declares in favor of a 61ca1 policy tv encourage those industries which are developing the natural resources of Canada, tather than forcing industries which have to seek elsewhere for all their raw materials. The Liberal Farmer groups are flatly against a tariff for pro- tectwn,and declare that the customs tariff should be so regulated as to reduce the cost of living to the people of Canada, a change which has been already too long delayed. Canada's war debts must be mel. the Liberal amendment states, but there isyyno justification for the Govern- addItsgbto that a�ady Keay Duren asit is doing. Hon. W. S Fielding, who is one of the outstanding figures in the House. made a masterly speech in opening the debate for the Liberals. His speech is summarized in the Liberal amendment outlined above. He declared that th^_ Government was forcing the burden of paying the war debta on the poor people while it sought by every means possible to shield its friends, the Big Interests, from the cold draughts of competition. Dr. Michael Clark, for the Agrarians. attacked the get as reactionary. The Prime Minis- ter. when he contributed to the debate, handed out a generous tonguelashing to both Farmers and Liberals. The firmer, he, declared, were practical politicians, lining up behind the Liberals because they knew they could do nothing with their own theories. As for the Liberals, the Premier charged that Mr. Fielding was a proctectionist ; that he had become Finance Minister with a protective tariff in operation and left the office with a protective tariff still in effect. The Premier made a fine "rally round the stag" effort, and got a great hand from his followers, but. like most of his speeches, this one somewhat fell short if it were analyzed in the cold gray light of the morning after when the personal touch was cut off froth it. 1 he budget debate is wending its way along, and the vote will apparently cane . Most of the leaders have spoken, not a few of the back -benchers. By ing ttfe House in session six days a and driving through until late on y night, the Government is getting bens of all three groups down to a ility where they should soon e to rushing through a lot of e hope of winding things up y home for the summer. Customs. has been somewhat of 3 storm centre sine a week ago. Hon. R. Lemieux produced a letter in which the Minister of Customs, using his office as a lever, was soliciting business for the firm of Nagle & Wigmore, of St. John, from the French Purchasing Commission Evidently the files of the Department of Citst.,rns or the purchasing commission had teen tapped for the letter was genuine and that part was not questioned. The Prime Minister said he saw nothing wrong w th such a letter. but the Opposition and a great many supporters of the Government admit that it was at least unwise. Then A. R. McMaster, of Brome, in the subse- quent debate, contributed to the gayety of proceedings by writing a couple of imaginary letters in which he made the Minister of Marine and htshenes ask the Minister of Public Works for contracts for his companies. - - -- After a tilt with the spear Mt.

There does not seem a great deal, unless it "should emanate from committees now s•tting. to delay the House beyond that time. but there is always a possibility of a ho:dup.

Committees are riving ahead in every nook and cranny of buildings, some of them getting ahead th their work and others seeming to hav reached a stage where they have amasled a wonderful pile of evidence which wilt be useless to anybody this session. Tha seems to be the situation with the speria on government-owned- and -o ways and steamship lines. The co has gathered a wondrous bunch dente, but just what will be outcome of it NI is difficult to forecast at this time. The committ on the Spinney bill to amen the Civil Service Act continues trying to make witne-ses admit that the present system is not working out right. There are some widely divergent opinions re- garding that bill. Many members of the House want it put through, though it will mean a return to something remarkably like patronage, and, while the Govern- ment Ira' a time did not want the bill to succeed, it seems to have reached the stage now where it has gone so far that there an be no drawing hack, and the act must be amended in some in inner this session. it is rather noticeable. however. during all the evidence of departmental officials that is being heard, the, the only ones who appear to he satisfied with the commission's work under the act are the ones who seem to have been given almost a free hand anyway and who have been making appointments just about as they wished. committee ted rail- mittee evi- the What INi We Plant' What do we plant when we plant a tree ?

"The fellows pester the life out of me. Be- fore one of them has finished a ride, some other fellow is Coaxing for a Turn They all seem to like my new C. C. M. a lot better than their own bikes." Aside from this one kick, Tommy is tickled to death with his new bicycle. He admits he can hardly blame the fellows for wanting to ride it. It runs so much easier. And when the boys ask him why, Tommy tells them about the C.C.M. Triplex Hanger It reduces friction. And there's a freedom from those mean "tight and loose" spots often developed by other hangers.
