Lively Session -in
Prospect at Toronto
Approach of Election Expected
to Inject Spice into the
Proceediegs
(Special to The Signal)
Toronto, Jan. 21 -The fifth and
final session of Ontario's eighteenth
Legislature, which ell' get ander way
when seventeen gun. boom in Queen's
Park next Wednesday, promises to be
a brief but boisterous one. Cbarges
of mal adutinl*trstlou—ptelodes to the
general election next summer—will be
brought against the Government by
Opposltlonlsts and are expected to
make things lively. But little con-
tentious legislation, that would take
up the time of the House, has been
forecast. The session will be like
fireworks—spectacular and short.
One highlight will be the special
committee Premier G. S. Henry has
promised to sift charges that Daniel
McCaughrtn, former Ott
police
magistrate, was to get $2.
from his
successor for rethink, that two Cabi-
net Ministers connived at the payment,
seed that one of the IIInIsters ' con-
cerned was a relative of the man who
was to be McCaughrin's succe'paor.
Liberals claim the committee's findinge
will be a "whitewashing' in
wof
the preponderating number of Conser-
vatives that will sit on it. The acts
at any rate, should be broughtto
light
prcTertjona1 W that part of
this cod prife-beliirfueld ode.
Although great hopes were held out
that Premier Henry would return
from last week's Dominion -Provincial
couference with a scheme ter unem-
ployment insurance, it now appears
that this question is still unsettled
and no legielatk n on it can ►,e ri-
led fA1a nesMon. The conference
will. however, probably result In min-
Nfhiglslatlon on a works program and
tlirtet yelicf.
Noiltint New on Beer Question
Rumors periodically crop ,up that
the L.C.A. 1s to be amended to legal-
ize sale of beer by the glees, but of-
ficialdom refuses to deny or confirm
these whisperings. Premier Henry's
suggestions', made last summer, favor-
ing a "loosening -up," remelns the sole
official retuark. It appears that the
Government intends to wait as long
as possible before crystallizing plane
on this question, in order to see which
way the Ind is blowing at election
time. The Premier bee received some
15,000 postcards protesting against
any change in liquor yacee, while Bev-
eral delegations have lately urged
freer sale. All these indication of
what the Province is thinking will no
doubt be considered before a policy is
formulated. It remains a poesibtity,
however, that this session will see a
beer -by -the -glass measure imaged.
Several Vacant Sesta
Nix members present last year will I
be missed when the House opens.
Five have died : F. J. Skinner (Cont,
Leeds), P. J. Henry (Com., Past
Kent) , F. W. ElUott (IAb., North
Bruce), Hon. E. A. Dunlop (Cons.,
North Renfrew), and Hon. Dr. J. D.
Monteith (Cone., North Perth). L V.
Cote (Com., East Ottawa) has be-
come a Senator.
Only one of these vacancies has
been filled by by-election. In East
Kent, D. M. Campbell, IAberal-Pro-
greasive, woo allowed to take the seat
by acclamation although It End pre-
viously been held by a Government
supporter. Premier Henry has taken
over the treasurership, Tacated by Mr.
Dunlop's death. Hon. L Macaulay,
Minister of Highways, has became
Minister of Works as well, and Hon.
Dr. J. M. Robb, Minister of Health,
is now also Minister of Labor, Use
two portfolios having previously been
held by the late Dr. Monteith.

On the other hand, the Government
will be able to "point with pride" to

Year
had budgeted for31 a 62,900,000 de-
fcit. Then Opposltionlsts will "view
with alarm" an increase of some $20,-
000,000 in the public debt, notwith-
standing the surphns. This Is due to
the bookkeeping system which classes
certain items as "capital expenditure"
and ignores them in computing sur-
plus or deficit. They can also point
out that more than half the Province's
gross debt of 6600,000.000 has been
incurred since 1923, wbeu the present
tsglme began, and contrast Ontario's
per capita debt of $145 with Quebec's
The Government will probably
titres' the argument that revenues ex-
ceeding the estimates testify to re-
viving prosperity, while lower expen-
ditures are evidence of their economy.
They will land themselves for the so-
cial services—old age pensions, moth-
ers' allowances, unemployment relief

tenure of office.

If Lawrence A. Nicholson, the man-
ager of E. A. Buckman and Son, In-
surance agents, Brockville, had carried
on the traditions of a long line of
prominent ancestors, his Dams today
would be inscribed in Canadian mili-
tary records and his titles would be
dletingutahed. 'The Nicholson family
have always been fighters, and If one
were to look closely In the records of
the United Empire Loyalists, that
frame name would be found more times
than one.
That old adage, "like father, like
son." does not, however, bear any In-
fluence In title day and age. And Mr.
Nlcholeon, instead of becoming a sol-
dier and carrying on the old, old
record of military achievement won by
father and grandparents before him,
became a bualness man and won bis
