Ordinarily a sentence of 125 words
would require severe editing. It is
likely to be involved and its-_ulean-
ing obscure, The following sentence
has been handed to us and it is given
here in its original form because
there Is no obscurity as to its mean-
ing and because it constitutes a per-
tinent commentary un the current
political situation:

No one questions the t ve sirs of

nection with the dissolution of parli-

the country would •be without a par-
liament for over two months. Should
war break out during that period the
country would be in a difficult posi-
tion, Mr, Mackenzie King has to
guard against such a contingeney.
Therefore, hie periodic statements
that he cannot. because of the ten-
sion in Europe, conte to a decision
as to calling an election. are general-
ly accepted at their face value. It is
admitted that he has a good excuse
for delay. But in political circles

he finds the excuse very convenient.

A while back some of the Prime

that the government was due for

the election was brought on, felt that
Bone advantage was to be secured in

that is one reason why he would not

Judgment Against Hay Tp,-
Of
p;Of significant interest is the Divi-
sion Court judgment just handed
down by Judge T. M. Costello in
favor of Robert Thompson, Hay
township farmer, against the Town-
ship of Hay. Two identical actions,
involving larger amounts, were listed
on the County Court docket in June,
but were adjourned sine die by Judge
J. L. Killoran pending a decision in
the Division Court ease heard at
Zurich. Judge Costello thus reviews
the case in a written judgment: "The
plaintiff claims $14.42, monies paid
to the defendant corporation undei
protest. this song having been levied
.:,inst the lands of the plaintiff for a
drainage sclieartr which had its origin
ill 19::1. in that year the defendant
t•orporation. upon petition, passed a
bylaw for the construction of certain
drains in the Township of Hay. The
report was adopted by bylaw on
March 2, 1931. At that time Andrew
Hess was the clerk and L. H. Rader
the reeve, The report of the engineer,
John Rodgers, was considered and
went to the Court of Revision, where
all appeals were dismissed, on April
6, 1931. On that same date a bylaw
was passed adopting the report, On
April 14 the Township was served
with notice of motion to quash on
behalf of Sarah Petty and James S.
Petty. The matter was further dealt
with an the 16th o£ April. and again
on the 19th. Eventually the original
bylaw was rescinded and the engin-
eer's report referred back tor further
consideration. In the meantime a sec-
ond petition was. presented and a se-
cond report from the engineer was
adopted. The costs of the first peti-
tion were added on to the costs of
the second petition and report. This
was one of the matters objected to
by the plaintiff, who claims that in
r•'nersation with the reeve and one
of the councillors he was told there
would be no expenses charged up
against him in connection with the
original petition. He paid his regular
tuxes within the statutory time but
not his drainage taxes. On the evid-
ence of the plaintiff, which has not
been contradicted, it would appear
that there was misrepresentation
n 'tie to trim and as far as he was
concerned the whole proceedings
must be considered as irregular and,
if paid under protest, should be re-
-'tnled There should be judgment,
therefore, for the plaintiff for the
amount of his claim and court costs,
with witness tees to those actually
suimoenaed. '

Demand Increasing for Lighter Cattle
"With the demand increasing for
lighter finished cattle, it is my opin-
ion that we in Ontario should be
planning for the production of more
cattle to be finished at ages of from
12 to fifteen months, which means
pasture is not of the importance It
was when two-year-old and three-
year-old steers were the objective of
most farmers." declared L. E.
O'Neill, director of the live stock
branch, Ont. Dept. of Agriculture, in
discussing the beef situation in the
province.
Consumer demand, continued Mr,
O'Neill, is continually toward lighter
beef which will yield shall steaks
and roasts, and away from heavy, fat,
wasteful beef. There should be no
dairy steers raised. It would be far
better to market them as veal.
If the American market is to be
satisfactory as an outlet for Ontario
feeders, then it must be satisfactory
for American feeders. When this con-
dition prevails, American buyers will
take drafts of the best Western
feeder cattle across the line for feed-
ing purposes and Ontario will be
asked to absorb the lower classes of
cattle from the West,
With the production of \Vesteru
cattle increasing in the mixed farm-
ing areas, there' is a reduction in the
general quality of Western cattle. eo
that the prospect of obtaining a large
supply of satisfactory quality feeders
from the West is not improving, tr,
say the least -
