But if we look at the 1923 index numbers of the goods lie has to sell the story is very much different and it is at once ap- parent that his revenues have far from kept pace with his increased costs of living and of production: Live stock dropped to 97.6, hides and skins to 80.9, whilst grains have only risen to 124.9, eggs to 130.1—those are last year's figures; eggs have dropped this year 50 per cent— and vegetables, from which in the great majority .of cases no revenue is der- ived by the ordinary farmer, to 157.7. • If we analyse price conditions from another angle we find that the wholesale prices show that wheat was at 88 cents per bushel in' 1913 and $1.08 a bushel in 1923, but we also find that a barrel of flour could be purchased for $5.36 in 1913: and that it cost $6,87 in 1923.

Yes. indeed, they endeavor to maintain that rather than a lowering of the tariff we are in need of higher tariff barriers, if we do not wish our manufacturing industry to go into bankruptcy. Mr. Speaker, higher tariffs, and in fact tariffs of any kind, can only 'bring artificial life to any industry and they never will salve the problems of the manufacturers, Their troubles lie elsewhere. They Must pare down their overhead charges, they most lessen their sales cots, they must cheapen an extreme- ly expensive distribution system exis- ting to -day, and they must realize that business expansion can only take place in sound foundations and not nn artificial tariff proppings, if they expect to bring a permanent cure to the ills of which they are complain- ing. In closing, Mr, Speaker, I wish to repeat that the dissatisfaction and uu•est amongst our farming classes is lite to the unfair conditions which I have endeavored to portray. Farmers have a vital interest in the expansion of our manufacturing industries, and their Canadianism is of a brand that extends far beyond the bounds of class selfishness. They realize that true progress cannot be local in its Scope. And our efforts to bring about more equitable conditions, are based on the absolute conviction that an adjustment of the unfair condi- ticros of to -day will prove to be the required impetus for true progress for all ".lasses and in every corner of IOWA REGRETS 10(IILDING CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS.

Mr. Murdock lived for a number of years on his farm the first concession of Stanley, a mile and a quarter south of Brucefield, and was a very success- ful farmer. He was a Liberal in pol- itics, and always took an active part in political affairs. Some years ago he sold his farm and retired to Hensall, where he married Miss Martha Butts, and who now mourns his loss. He was a prominent Oddfellow, belong- ing to the Brucefield Lodge, which by Mr. MacDonald, "the farmers got funeral t the funerallcein a body. ` afternoon' behind Miss Mae E.

She ran on a plat- form that pledged economy in more consolidated schools, and school matters and she promised to build up the 10,000 one -room rural schools, rather than to try to build consoli- dated schools and was elected by a large majority." Then for the purpose of counter- acting the attitude of these farmers, Mr. D. P. Philiips, formerly superin- tendent of a Consolidated School in Iowa, made an investigation in thirity-seven representative Consoli- dated School districts and reports the average school tax to lie 'between $1.08 and $1.22 per acre, In three of the consolidated districts the school tax was $2.00 an acre. Mr. Mac- Donald does not give the average tax -rate paid in sections that have the one -room school.

The closing down of the small mills places the farmer at the mercy of the big millers, regardless of the fact that lie has wheat and grain of his own from which Roue can be se- cured. There is always a difference in standards between farm and in- dustrial life. When the growermust sell his product according to one standard and purchase on the basis of a higher standard of prices the practice becomes irksome and most unfair.

These may attest to the- and heand thrift of certain people, lint they offer no great inducements to commercial'and moral progress. Is it the spirit of good order and law ob- servance ? That is a factor only. The sleepiest old hamlets that dot the country may have the spirit in rank. abundance. Is it the schools and churches ? May their number ever increase, but they don't make a town —they only culture it. Is it the geo- graphical location, the character of the country surrounding, the natural advantages ? None of these are es- sential. Well, what' is it that makes a town anyway ?
