There was a scandal about the build- ing of the Canadian Pacific ; there is a scandal about the building of the Grand Trunk Pacific and there are indications of a scandal about the fin. taming of the Canadian Norther n Phew i Let us deal first with the Canadian Northern whose request for govern- ment aid hes brought matters to a oriels. This road is practically owned by MacKenzie & Mann—now Sir Wil- liam MacKenzie and Bir Donald Mann. These amazingly enterprising men have succeeded in building a large part of a tranwoontinental railway by gett- ing the Federal Government and the various Provincial governments to guarantee their bonds. They have been dealt with liberally but there r,eema to be no end to their needs. Because they have been able to pledge the credit of Canada they have raised vast sums of money in England to push their railroad building. Between bonuses and guarantees and land grants, they have been aided to the extent of over two hundred millions and now they are aeking for another guarantee of bonds, which, at the time of writing. is variously estimated at from thirty to fifty millions of dollars. No wonder that our representatives in Parliament are becoming alarmed. become too difficult. In the meantime, there is urgent need of government support for radial railways thet`would handle much of the local traffic and so curb the greed of our present railway system. But these are matters that need to be dealt with separately. in future articles. Those who urge that MacKenzie & Mann should be granted the bond guar. antes they ask at the present time, point to the nesceseity of completing thie great undertaking on which so much money has been spent. if the work were stopped, many other institution* might be embarrassed for these enterprising men have had access to the savings of the people in the banks, as well as to the credit of the country. It is pointed out that in no case where the bonds of the company have been guaranteed has any government been forced to assume the obligations. This is the same as if a farmer were to boast that although he had often backed notes for friends he had never been called i pon-to pay one and that be thought the practice a safe one. I have no doubt that many readers of 'The Farmer's Ad vacate' are opposed to backing any rnen'e notes, and yet they are being asked through their repre- sentatives in Parliament to back the notes of MacKenzie & Mann Inc mil tione. That is exactly what it amounts to.
