The }louse adjourned on Monday out of respect to the memory of the Tate Sir George Ross, after Hon. J. J.

Provincial License Inspector. to the Counties of Peel, Huron and Welland in the week preceeding the votes on the Canada Temperance Act. The fact that Mr, Hanna has had to make so so many statements in regardto this seems to show that they are not receiv ed with satisfaction. Indications point to this Snider affair as one of the most important subjects for the Legislature and much more will undoubtedly be heard of it in the following weeks. It is admitted by Mr. Hanna that this Provincial License Inspector visited the three Counties and advised aainst, the passing of the Act. Mr. Hanna. however, infers that Mr. Snider went only to officers of the law whereas the charge is teat he visited prominent Conservatives and told them that it. would embarrass the Government if the Can 'da Temperance Act carried, Mr, Hamm has dodged this issue but the affair is by no means closed.

In concluding the debate on the Budget, Mr. Rowell estidaated the net deficit of the Province last year at $3,450,060, severely arraigned the Pro - violet Treasurer for nob presenting a financial statement, which was fair, charged a gross abuse of authority on the part of the' Government in secur- ing loans under the Northern' Ontario Grant Act and then using the money for other purpdses. which amounted to emits -nee of Must funds, and dealer ed that if the Treasurer of any private Company"conducted business like the Provincial Treasurenbas done•during the last year, he would quickly' he call ad` to account.

Mr. Proudfoot Addresses the Brantford liberal Clu Continued From Page 1 ward!- at a time there 'was a need and et a personal sacrifice to.him- self. • Ile scored the government for not bringing down something new on the bill -of -fare in the address from the throne. T'Ia Workmen's Compelnsation act was promised, while it was noted that the revis- ed statutes would soon be out. "T.hey, are eight years'late with !them,"' commented the Ispe{aker, who 'then added that ,followin.g on the address, Mr. Rowell made a characteristic address, in which he showed that he stood high among the public men. Mr. Rowell had in this address' slcored the govern- ment for not bringing down some - thin for the - workingmen. In other parts of the ,world good work was being done, but in Ontario one de partment was . under one minister and another department was under another, and the result was that nothing was done. Mr. Rowell had us red the appointrnel t of •e lade- iiitas of labor, a great need of On- tario as the ',people r"rognixe,1. "What can a man, securing only $300 a year, do in securing work" for the uneinployecl2 asked Mr. Proucif oot; who 5arcastically.re,fer- ret to the method of conducting ,e,mplby u ner bureau in ,inch a Fie way that a man would do very.lit tle work,nor could afford to do very- muh. The ,speaker referred to the fact that in 1009 he had urged a work= en'e cme'sat a ' m o p o iion act, dthe t o government promised, to bring in a bill at the next session. Noth-4 ing was done until just before' the elections, when a commissioner was appointed, but the bili had not yet been brought, down. '!They are dilaltory in that as in many other matters," said Mr..Proudfootwho ,:'felt, that the time had come for a change in leaders with Mr. Ro- well being given an opportunity to I show what he. could do. He denounced Mr. A. C, Pratt, M P.P. for South Norfolk, for calling him a coward to. his electors and yet :sitting in the !louse end say- ing siothing. He expressed 'the hope that Mr. Pratt would ,come forward• at this sitting of the leg- islature and make what statements. he had to make on the 'floor of the house. The speaker stated that be certainly would not run away, from Mr. Pratt or any, other mem- ber of the oppositiop. "If you want to have clean eleen tions, you have got to go to the. top, A ,stream is no cleanerthan at its source, and you mast start from there," said the 'speaker, tak- ing up the charges he had made on 'the floor of the house lovely 'the Scott -Taylor contract. Ms'. Tay- lor had been called up said Mr., Proudfoot, to the .,provincial secre- tary, and there informed that he should pay over ,sonietlhing to the Conseeva.tiv,e party fund, Mr. Tal' for did' not :like to. pay ,out ,his good Money (for this, but after thinking- it over, 'felt that it- was better- to stay in with the powers and; he dneas out $500 which, was given !to Mr. ;Hanna. "Mr, "Ilanna that it .was nothing new for con (tractors: to' contribute to ,,party 'funds, but it was new in the Brit- ish i tis1 Dominion for a cabinet minis - tea' to go ,after it," s•tu1 Mr, Frond - 'foot, who de larod ±1 itt it amount- ed'to the quid pro quo. Mr. Tay- lor put in a claim for id7,000, which; the public ,accountant refused to pass, as he claimed the man was fullypaid.With an election com- ing om ingn ,, sortly :afterwards, the claim was referred to a Mr. Thorne a personal 'friend of Mr. Taylor. Then the latter increased his claim and the arbritator's 'report was made awarding him $21,000, of which Mr. Taylor paid $1000 to Mr, Thorne.. The. speaker .said he had heard of this and presented his •state- m,ents, asking 'for a royal commis- sion, lent this was denied. A com- mission was appointed from the house, but after .:'few session{ the Liberal 'memb'ersi tet ted a's they could not ask the questions •they. desired, while evidence was stop- ped by the Conservatives. It was admitted by the. premier, that Mr.: 'Hanna had received 'thel$50U. and nx^a?calhegrreed (ttitW the !'at tfachte, Pheinquiry speyake.the.r hat chairman had insttructed the wit- nesses not to answer questions. Mr. Hanna had stated that he wanted all the information brought out, but his counsel continued to ob- ject to questions of iMr. Hanna's wish and if he wanted to know all about it, he could grave instructed his lawyer to conduct the case dif- 'Twently or change counsel, but he (did not do .sor Tlne speaker stat- edthat the reason he did not take an oath before the committee was (that he knew nothing personally of the coal contract manipulation, but was in the same position as ,a lawyer, who received information and was making enquiries. 'He was willing to appear again, before a royal commission, Taking up the question pf the wastage of funds by the govern- ment, Mr. Proudereot referred to the •fact that $+/00,000 had, already been spent on the new.goviernment house, and now 'the te,Iders for plastering and ,wood -work are 1.v - ing called for. A site was fhrht sdouned on.Bloor 'street, but the building lding was being buiit in the Don Valley, with a beautiful viewof the Davies' brickyards. It was built 'below the ,street, levlel, and alt on,e time it started to slip into thevalley, and 5 t a 6 000 retaining wall had t be built to toe . it up. The house was not in a good s dt for it should (have been near p t , the parliament buildings, while it would cost another $300,000 to com- plete -it:• . The revision of the statutes which was ,coven. years late, was costing more than twine what any other previous revision had cost, The judges, who were commission- ers also, received about $11,500 to date for the work, $2000 a year for each,' in addition to their salaries as judges. Their lunches cost $6150 and cab -hire was$327. The speaker did not doubt that -the judges had not worked hard lilt the better plan would have been to appoint .three or four, even to work at it eon'tinually. The, government claim, ed (that these were but small prat- tens, but they mounted up. The ex penditure had jumped from $5,000,- 000 to over •$10,000,000. The government, 'said Mr. Pruod foot, pointed :with pride to, their enforcement of the license saw, bull he did not think it fair for government Ispotters to tempt a man 'to violat@ the law, and then summon .him, The goeseenment is actually in partheaship with the liquor men, 'for they ,made a div- ision of ,the profits', getting five pee cent f sales over a certain 1 0 amount!: In lessen't elections the governm,ni,t has ,shownthat it was in league With the liquor men.

Mr. Proudfoot criticized the pole- 'icy of the ;government in passing 10,000,000 for 'Northern Ontario by order -an -council, and not giving the, representatives of the people an opportunity to say how and where it .should! 'be spot. It was passed by the cabinet alone, and the speaker 'felt that this was a very dangerous policy—a policy which, by 'Live way, was the cause of the 'defeat of John Sandfield Macdonald, and which may yet be the cause of the downfall of the persent government, Before coming into power the Conservatives donourtced the pot- fay of granting aid to railways, yet. granted, ,sin,op going into power, 2,000,1100 ares of land to the Can- adian Northern raillvay, and many other railways had been aided, de -s spite their .previous denouncement of the policy. The educational de- partment was arrogating to itself •the authority of the trustees of the schools, True, the government had done some good 'things, had 'Iolloweld out the roads set forth by the Liberals, but they were. open ito much: criticism.
