Fewer MP's
•- WOULD FEWER MPs at higher salaries

Financial Post put that question to a group
of well known Canadians; Not many of them
thought so.
Answers emphasized, among other things,
that one duty of Parliament was to represent
the people; that some constituencies were al
ready too large, and that the P could not
do his Mjob properly if he were made respon-
sible
to a larger area.
Another point which was made was that
a smaller House of Commons might tend to-
ward more bureaucratic control.

remembered that our 'politicians and civil

Is it any wonder that the public
is surprised — that its suspicions
are aroused? Is it any wonder
that laws are brought info dis-
credit? Is it any wonder that
the, guardians of the public wel-
fare lose heart? The Huron Tem-
Jperance Federation asks that our
laws be enforced without fear or
favor.—Advt.
