"What is •tee salary of a cabinet
minister in, Osrtari;e?" asks a sub-
scriber. The premier feta $12,00 a
year, the other ministers $6,000 each.
and the leader •of the Opposition $5000
In a:.ditioe they receive the sessional
Men -mats of $1,400 paid all members.
Hen. I, B. Lucas, the Attorney -Gener-
al, also received $4,000 as a member of
the Hydro-'1^lectric Committee.
The larmer who owns a farm is the
particular .person who is fixed. Batiks
may fait and factories close, workmen
strike antes suspend, e
m.ar usp nd, merchants
fait and towns burn, time, may be
panicky and evert crops may be short,
but the farmer who owns biz acres
will get elong, He
will live in: com-
fort an - quiet, with plenty to eat,
drink and wear. He is the moat in-
dependent man cqn earth. .
Premier Drury says that blind party -
is Canada's national sen. Hon. Mr.
Cxerrr says ;that the tariff is the
Burse of 'Canada, The former may be
right, but the latter es undoubtedly
wrong, If we hada no tariff we would
have little revenue and Canada would
be a dumping ground for United Stat-
es manufacturiese Our cities would
rec'er be above small trading towns,
and the borne market, which is the
best, would be destroyed,
Premier Drury seems tot�o take a de-
light in er,itizjng Conservative
policies of the pact and present -par-
ticularly as regards Dominion politics
Last week he took occasion to crit-
icize the National Policy and also the
Conservative campaign, of 1911 against
Reciprocity. The old National
Policy ,of Sir John Macedonald. has
stool the test of time under both of
the old parties, and it would seem odd
indeed if it was 'only now that it was
Cound to be •entirely wrong. 1 eciproc-
ity would kill manuf'acturies, and that
wvould hurt Labor,. and Labor is apart
of 1Mfr. Drury's Government., Mr.
Drury apparently does not intend to
cater to the Conservative party in his.
endeavors to foam and carry on ,the
Government.
