'* pared with almost every other nation
Hon. Thomas A. Low, Minister of
Trade end 'Commerce, on Tuesday last,
introduced in the House of Cotnntous
the mucheheratded plan to control and
reduce ocean freight rates by paying
it cash consideration to an English ship.
ing firers headed by Sir William Peter-
son, Mr. Low's speech in exposition
of that scheme and the lively debate
which followed were the features of an
otherwise dull week in Parliament.
Proper emphasis was laid by the
Minister on the fact that the Alun
had Rs foundation In the report of the
Special Committee on Agricultural
Conditions which two sessions ago,
under the etairmanshtp of Andrew R.
McMaster'(Brome, Quebec), made a
unanfinous report to Parliament show -
Ing that a combine existed and that it
was doing grave injury to Canadian
trade, He also stressed the fact that,
while It secured abundantevidence on
this combine, from the Canadian end,
the report recently tabled in the Ifouse
of Commons, and from the hand of W.
T. R. Preston was.lergely supplement-
ary to the Committee's report by add-
ing to its evidence that gathered by
Mr. Preston in Great Britain and Eur-
ope.
Conservatives Critical of Preston
Report
Conservative •opposition to the Gov-
ernment's plan, as expressed by Hon.
11. H. Stevens, ('Centre Vapcouver) and
previously by Donald Sutherland, was
not so much aimed at the issue of the
existence of a combine as at •the author-
ship off the Pression report, Mr. Low
pointed out that denunciation of Mr.
Preston was mot effective criticism of
the plan. The Government was not
concerned with the reports authorship
but rather with the report's contents
which showed conclusively that exor-
bitant freight rates were being charged
against Canadian shippers, as compar-
ed with South 'African and other ship-
pers within the British Empire, and
the urgency of taking same vigorous
steps to remedy an intolerable situat-
ion.
Mr, Low also told the House that
the Conservatives themselves when in
power took action to ascertain the facts
with regard to the control of ocean
freight rates and both Sir Henry Dray-
ton and Sir George Foster, who head-
ed commissions of enquiry reported
to Parliament the extent to which the
North Atlantic Conference militated,
against :Canadian interests. Having
shown the seriousness of the evil, Mr.
Low left the details of the plan to rem-
edy 'that evil for later consideration by
other speakers and asked or proposed
that a special committee of the House
be named to deal with this whole ques-
tion. This coming week may see the
conclusion of the preliminary discus-
sion on this subject and its reference
to the committee.
Combine Has Effective Lobby
Before that special committee the
members of the North Atlantic Ship-
ping Conference, most of (whom have
their offices in Montreal, will be re-
quested to state fully their objections
to the pllan, and also to back up with
facts and figures, if possible, their
challenges to the assertions contained
fn the Preston report As this is the
principal piece of Government legisla-
tion to be dealt with this session the
progress of .the scheme in committee
will be watched with deep interest
throughout the country. Ever since
its'announcement a short time ago a
vigorous "lobby" against the plan has
been conducted, and this fact was
pointed ito last Friday by Hon. James
A. Robb, Acting Minister of Finance,
as the best proof of its effectiveness.
Progressives Waiting for Evidence
Outside the Conservative ranks the
objections taken to the plan are on the
ground that it will involve the sub-
sidizing of a fleet of vessels to com-
pete with the ships of the :North M-
lantic Conference. Many in the House
dislike the idea of a subsidy and some
CAR OF
( fire Bones riniin
and !urUy
Progressives have openly stated that
they would stoutly oppose the intron-.
uetiof of e subsidy, On the whole, .the
Progressives *are withholding their
views of the plan until there is op-
portunity of btudying the evidence to
be submitted to the special committee.
If that committee's efforts result in
tirtnity establishing the eceudt£cy of the
facts WI figures eonttalned in both the
Preston report and the report of elle
Special Committee two sessions ago
then they will suiplp'ort the Government
in its seance In fact, the Progressive
members of ithe McMaster 1Commlttee
were most active in efforts 10 get eve
idence from the steamship people when
that cotfmittee was functioning, and
are very anxious that \the :Dien can be
made to work so that the marketing of
their wheat and cattle in the European
centres may be made less costly.
Curbing the. Hand Book Men
Some clever skirmishing for position
marked the debate on Monday follow-
ing the motion of W. C. Good, Progres-
sive member for ]Brunk, that public
gambling at race tracks be aboiished.
After he had presented his case in sup-
port of his resolution, Fred. Stork, Lib-
eral member for Skeena, B, G., moved
an amendment aiming at the prohibit-
ion of the hand book business whu:h,
as a Metter of fact, thrives best when
the races are farthest away from the
scene of the betting, Contending that
the subject matter of the Stork amend.
meat was not revertant to the .subject
matter of his own resolution, Mr. Good
appealed to the Chair against permit-
ting that amendment. The Chair, oc-
cupied at the time by Deputy -Speaker
G. N. Gordon, of Peterboro, ruled that
the amendment was in order and. nn
the Ohair's rutting being challenged, a
vote of the House was taken which re-
sulted in sustaining the Chair. Then
later came an amendment to the am-
endment by A. W. Neill, member for
Comox-Alberni, calling for the prohib-
ition of pariemutuels at Canadian race-
tracks. Uate In the evening the House
voted on the Neill sub -amendment
which was defeated by a poll of 97 to
36. Then the Stork amendment was
carried by fa vote of to8 to 74. Fol-
lowing this vote, J. L. Brown, Progres-
sive member for Lisgar, moved another
amendment to the Stork motion and
aimed to prohibit gambling not only at
racetracks but outside of racetracks.
This was voted down by a poll of 92
to 77. The net result of the motions
and amendments and the voting there-
on was that the House approved of the
legislation introduced two years ago
by Sir Lamer Gouin, then Minister of
Justice, to amend the Criminal 'Code
with a view 'to curb if not eliminate
the hand book business. That legisla-
tion was rejected by the Senate and a
few days ago Hon. Ernest Lapointe,
Minister of Justice, announced his In-
tention of re -Introducing at an early
date the same Criminal Code amend-
ment.
Rum -running Treaty Ratified
General approval of the Dominion
Government's efforts to co-operate
width the United States Government in
curbing the growing evil of smuggling
across the border—especially liquor
and narcotics—was evident on Tues-
day 'when the Prime Minister submit-
ted to the House his resolution pro-
viding for the ratification by the Can-
adden 'Parliament of the proposed
treaty between the two countries which
has already been ratified by the United
States Congress. The treaty will be
in force for one year, according to the
Prime Minister, and thereafter subject
to 30 days' notice. It will become
effeotive ten days after it has been
ratified by the Canadian Parliament
and after the exchange of ratifications
between the two Governments. By
providing for close co-operation he.
tween the officials of the two countries
it will mike much easier the suppres-
sion of the smuggling of liquor, of
narcotics and of merchandise across
the international border and will be a
long step toward putting a stop to the
degradation of "ports" or towns alnog
the Canadian shores of the Great Lakes
that have been made the base of oper-
ations for rum -runners, and also to-
ward removing the causes for irritetien
between the two countries in this mat-
ter.
HINTS ABOUT SEED
With the advent of spring, Ontario
farmers find themselves face to face
and how to ,procure their supply of
good seed.
A consultation of the crop statistics.
in possession 0 of the Department caul of
p rim
p
Agricuiture reveals the feet that West-
ern Ontario contributed over 75% of
the total production of clover and
grass seeds for the Dominion In '1923.
For 1924 92 an equably large percentage
may be expected. Ln. addition to this,
the spring of 1925 finds us with an ex-
ceptionally fins supply of oats and
wheat. This would indicate that a sof•
fickle quantity of seed is 'available for
our home use, Where then lies the
problem?
In the selection of seed
two contid-
erati0ns always present a problem to
the farmer. These are the suitability of
the variety and the grade. Except In
the lase of a crop le which the nuin-
her of varieties in use is limited to one
or two, the former is extremely lot
portant. For years, our experimental
farms and stations have tested and sel-
ected all known varieties of our corm
mon crops. As a result, vast improve.
meats are evident in some varieties
and it is shaven definitely that certain
others are not suited to our soil and
climatic Conditions. Of those that
thrive in ou temperate climate, a fur-
ther selection Is sometimes desirable
according to local regteresients.
It Is very unusual to find that a .pout
variety has become c favorite in any
district, A growing realization of tdfis
is, no doubt, developing a preference
for homegrown seed. For instance, it
would be very difficult to sell a south-
ern grown variety of alfalfa to the farm-
ers in Peel County. This •preference
for Ontario grown alfalfa seed is
spreading throughout tore province
and as a result, tt this eforage
excellent
crap is growing successfullyplaces
that were previously considered un-
suitable.
Less trouble is usually elaperleneed
with cereals. Any of the standard var-
ieties which are offered on the mark-
et may be considered "safe". The
grower would do well to beware of the
agent, who offers him a "marvellous
new variety at the absurdly low price
of three dollars a bushel". There are
no known varieties of our common
grains with which our cereafists are
not familiar and any experimental stat-
ion will be glad to classify and give all
available information about the so -
culled new variety.
Most of the difficulties in the sale 01
seed, especially of the small seeds, oc-
cur in connection with the grade. le
is not lawful to sell for the purpose of
seeding in Canada, clover or grass
seeds unless they are :graded and lab-
elled properly. But in spite of this,
the custom of buying seed from neigh-
bors and relying on their judgment for
purity, is very common. Many a term-
er who has bought and :sown in this
wahas
d
Y had ample opportunity for
leisurely repentance 'while roguing or
summer fallowing, to rid his fields of
the noxious weeds,

FINANCE STRENGTH

A good deal of imisconception is a-
broad regarding the relative financial
strength of the Presbyterian and Meth-

of information that statements are be-
ing privately circulated that the Meth-
odists are anxious for union in order to
augment their financial strength.
The values of real property and

GODERICH ELEVATOR CO.
GAINS APPEAL DECISION
Had Been. Sued by Winnipeg Concern
for Value of Oats Sent to Firm,
Which Later Failed
The appeal of the Goderich Elevator
and Transit Company from the trial cle-
dtsion winch held them liable to the
Northern Grain Company of Winnipeg
for the price of 70,000 Wishes of nate,
was allowed by the Appetate Division,
Toronto, on Friday. The oats were
shipped to the elevator company from
Fort William, and later instructions
were given by the owners to deliver
them to the Peerless Cereal Mills et
Woodstock. That company went into
liquidation and the Northern Grain
Company sought to recover from the
Goderich (Elevator Company the value
of the grain, alleging that it should
have been held until bills' of lading had
been delivered. The Appelate Division
holds that when the shipper's instruct-
ions have been 'carried out the Elevat-
or 'Company had done its duty.
TAX COLLECTING.
SYSTEM CHANGED
Dominion Levy on Incomes May
Be• Paid 10 Customs Collect-
or at Local Parts
While no defiinte Informatieo a t
the proposed change lass -been re0ei
ed by the officials here it is now a
tain that there will be a change in the
method of making income fax collect-
ion returns this year o d that the re-
turns will be made through the cus
toms office here.
A rather pecuilarey worded memor-
andum on the project change has been
received at ixlndon, The details of
this memorandusp are as follows:
The filing of returns, as in former
years, must be done on or before April
30 and payment Oen also be made on
or berfore that date or on instatlntenit
plan, as formerly, lack of any spetifc'
instructions on the latter point indicate
OS. At the outset the .memorandum sets
forth that income Rax returns may be
filed wife the collector or subdallector
of customs "at the nearestport or out -
port, together with payment thereof."
Further on, however, Pt states that pay-
meat may be made to the inspector of
taxation in cities whl4h form district
headquarters, the inspector to mike
daily records of assessments and to
{sand these to the coliecitorof customs:
Cities and Towns.'
In cities and towns where there are
Ito .inspectors of taxation, the coillec-
tors or subcolleetors of customs 10
whom the income taxes are paid, are
required to forward the records and
payments to the iteepector of taxtation.

until they have been instructed in tahelr

with the work involvedin income' tax
collection,
The apparent reason for the for-
warding of returns and payments to
the inspecitor of taxation \from outly-
ing customs offices_ is that' assessment
and payment entris may be duly re-
corded in the temper cash books. Af-
ter customs officials have become
thbrou'ghly versed in the various de-
tails of income' tax collections lehraugh
the services of competent instructors,
these books are to be handed over to
the customs officers and income tax
collection thereafter to be .canried on

to do only with forms •T4, Tia, olid

Neglected Graves
in Ontario
A few years ago during the regime
of the Drury Government, the Prov-
incial Legislature passed an act regard-
ing the maintenance and care of cem-
eteries in Ontario. This adt was the
result of a public outcry against the
neglect (hat is, apparent in so many
cemeteries, iscattered throughout the
rural lodaiities, containing the graves
of pioneers who helped to lay the
foundations of this fair province. The
chief officer of health for Ontario, Dr.
J. W. S. McCullough, whose depart-
ment has the supervisidn of this work
has sent a letter to the county coun-
cils, who are charged by the act with
the responsibility of caring for these
cemeteries, in which the neglect Is
pointed cud. "I am sure the members
of the council will agree," -he says,
"that the graves of our forefathers
should not be neglected and that cem-
eteries should be so maintained 25 to
prevent their being, as many of them
are at present, an eyesore to the pub-
lic."
It does not take much observation
on the part of those who travel
throughout the country, to see thet
this notification is timely. The con-
ditions of many of these rural burying
places is deplorable. These hallowed
plots, that contain the sacred dust of
our forefathers, are in many cases
shamefully neglected. They are over-
grown with grass and weeds, and the
grounds are littered with broken head.
stones. It is a disgrace that has Ions,
demanded attention, and 4f Dr. McCul-
lough succeeds in arousing the attent-
ion of the people to these conditions
he will win widespread •approval.
Now that the .county councils have
been reminded that it is their duty 'o
superintend the care of all such places
coming within their ijuriseliction, even
when the grost.nd Itself may be in prise
ate ownership, this rtegtlect will surely
be remedied, There is a direct obli-
