Ontario went to Ottawa over 1500 strong last Thursday and presented the Waterways and Hydro Radial memori,als to the Government. Many short and concise addresses were made by re,presentative delegates the Government being represented bv Premier Borcleas Hon. W. T. White, Hon J D. Reid and Hon. Robert Rogers who gave the delegation a most attentive hearing. Hon Adam Beck was the pairscipal speaker for the visitors. He pointed out the great need of deepening and improving the -waterways and helping in the building of radials throughout western, Ontario. Iii reply Premier Borden compli- mented the speakers on the concise- ness of their remarks and said that Cor its size the delegation had occu- pied less time than any delegation he had ever received. He pointed ,out that the projects which lead been laid before the gov- ernment were of a far reacheng char- acter and it must be understood that as he had not hacntinee to go over the proposals with his colleagues he could do no more than say, that they would receive the very gravest consideration. Dealing with the general qu7estion of transportation lVfx. Borders said that nowhere wa,s jt more vital than In Ca- nada It concerned every class dnd in the end resolved itself down to the question of linking as closely as pos- sible the farm and the market. Oa the subject of subsidy for hy- dro radials Mr. Borden was, as might be expected, nonncommittal, While there was no reason in principle why assistance should not be given lento- s+ incial or municipal -owned railroads, yet under the British North America Act smatters of this kind were left to provincial jurisdiction; it was true that this ,paiacipie had not been Jived un to and mall he had consulted bis colleagues he was not prepared to say tha a further departure from that principle might not be warranted in the future, In whatever the Govern- ment did the interest of all Canada would have to be looked to. The east careful, consideration would be given these matters by the Cabinet. The • deputation, did not go to Ot- tawa to ask for a grant this, year, but they did aria the GOVernmenf alive to What is being done by he Hydro Commission, and a favorable consideration of the projects is ex- pected The delegates had a chaace to listen to the government debate for a few hours, and it nothing else were accomplished they all had a good time. __— Hydro •Radial matters were (lis- aissed at St. Marys en Menday \\*NM the following resolution, was submit- ted to the meeting by reeve Routly of ttsborne, Tovonghip) and Mr, M.

The McCormick bill brought the mat- ter u. and Mr. Henry Eilber, South Huron. for the Government side, went into the question fully, and no man in the house is in a better position to discuss the subject from 'he standpoint of the rural districts, He took the ground that the present law was ,aot ope to be lightly tampered with It was vitally boned ap with the who municipal organization of the province and aa slight ighange might) throw the whole into chaos. The chief poirn taken. was that if the burden on the people at the pres- eat time was to be affected in any way by proposed local option meas - area ir would not be lightened, On the contrary et Would only be shifted from those now capable of bearing it to the shoulders of the farming -Aim- mainly The change, too, would in- volve immense difficulty sa equalizing the general county rates. The whole nature of the step proposed by the bill was single tax. A hem stand was taken by Mr, Either. He claimed to begin with that he would not take ,he opinion of the Dominion Grange or any other organization, but would pro - deed on, the cardinal' principle that "whatever property was worth for income or sale, at was worth the same for purpose of taxation." Those per- sona, who advised meddling with the pxesenact little realized the great effect it would have upon the munit- ipal organization. ' Tc remove the tax on, buildings, he argued would. include also those of the merchant and hotelskeeper„ Huror County had a total assess: meat oe $42,000,000. If the building tax was removed the sum of $75,000 would have to be made up in some way and that will be requited by ats additional tax of 1.92 mills. It meant five if the tax on the towns Ind vitt Lagee went down, five s the fanners will have to go up.
