Legislature Begins Work This Week Brat Session Since Election Will Be of Bipedal Interest --Good Lin fog Farmers Toronto, Feb. 2e. -The curtain goes up today on another ameba of Ontario's Legislative Assembly. The Government of lion. Mitchell F. Hepburn snakes its how to the chosen representatives of the people. Hon. Dr. Bruce. the Lim- tenantOovernor, will mount the Throne and deliver his speech.

But when all tbe tormaLtlea are over, when the extra chain are re - mored from the chamber and the la- dles have departed, then the real bud- der gets under way. The Government will give an accounting of Its steward- ship and the Opposition, led by former Premier Hepry, will endeavor to and loopholes for criticism. Premier Hepburn, In good pbyeleal shape, despke the tremendous bur- dens on his shoulders, will take a lead - Ing part in the debates. As Provin- cial Treasurer, It will be his task to deliver the budget address and already keen Internet L being shown on all sides as to what the Premier I'M have to say when be makes this all-tmport- tent address. He will be able to polpt to increasing revenues In a number of departments, although the Provincial debt will show a big jump. But it the jobless men and women and their de- pendents are to be cared foe in a de- cent and proper way, money must be spent, and there 1s little prospect of the Government's being censured for spending huge sums to protect the well-being of its Miami. On the other band, there is strong likelihood of the Premier and his colleagues charging the Opposition with extreme extrava- gance with public moneys during their i last few months in Dice. There Is like- ly to he strenuous debate on this mat- ter. It is too early to make predictions as to what may happen. Tbe first session of a new Gorerument is al- ways interesting, but It does not neees- 1 Barfly mean that 1t is going to be spec - teenier. One thing ta certain: the Hepburn Government is not vuiner- Hrblr on the question vet campaign prom - bees. Every pledge made to the elec.- tors. lec-tors ins been carried out so tar. Some of tboee pledgee, particularly in re- gard to economy measures. have not met with universal approval, but they were put Into effect for tbe good of the Province as a whole and the criti- cism of a minprlty group bas not de- terred the Gosernment from par/ruing its policy of relieving the public treas- ury of a lot of burdensome and totally uuneceWry expenditure.

Hr 1. none other than the Hon. Dun• can Marshall, Ontario's Minister of Agriculture, who is not In the habit of making statements he can't back up with Ind!*putable proof. For Rome months pant, Mr. 'Marshall l has been engaged in tackling the prob- len, of how to bring about changes which would give the farmers some much-needed Income. Cattle raising, along wltb other phases of agriculture, bas been in the doldrums more or lees for a longer period than moat farm- ers care to think about. There hasn't been much money in raining cattle thee! last few years, hut farmers are noted for their dogged patience and they tightened their belts and awaited a better day. Now, according to Mr. Marshall, that day in near at hand.

An appeal Is being taken by Ilauptmenn'a coma - set and court proceeding* may hold up the final derision for weeks or months' yet. The rerdlct of the Flemington jury, however, was clear and definite. • • • The Ontario Government having been accused of "cruelly" discontinuing harm t eaaj'iasuler 1%e1?bnrn comes bark with the testament that 11.0% loans approved by the henry Govern- ment on the ere of election last year were "political applications" and "ap- proval was given largely on verbal re- eoswendetion of Tory candidates" The new Government stopped the loan machinery until these proposed Loans could be reviewed and the Province's treasury protected. Public opinion will approve the Government's coarse In this matter. HOW 90 ]OE RAT YOUR EGG?
