The National Railway System is the 'work of the Conservative Party and especially Hon. Arthur Meighen. Through his constructive states- manship the 'bankrupt railways -the result of the Liberal railways policy:- in/ere olicy-•were rescued from disaster, brought together and co-ordinated into a great transportation 'entity, He Was the founder of our great publicly owned system and is now its guard- ian: Today the control of this system is in the hands of elle amen who op- posed the absorption of the Grand Trunk and who fought for the return of the system tei corporation •owner- ship and control. They •now profess devotion to this great public enter- prise, 'but in act and deed are de- stroying its effectiveness and wrecking public faith in it, It is due to the watchfulness and care of Mr, Meighen and -his col- leagees that the National Railways have not been more seriously burden- ed and handicapped than they are. Al- ready the capitalization of this sys- tem due'to the mad over construction If 20 years ago is at least $300,000,- 000 greater than it should be to make the system a business proposi- tionand to give the people of Can- ada relief from the freight rate bur- den so injurious to businessof all kinds and especially' interprovincial trade, one of the bonds of confeder- ation, With such a capital burden it is essential to the very existence of this system that this capital should not be unnecessarily augmented. To prevent this Mr. Meighen has closely scrutinized expenditure, not t de- prive the people of necessary trans- portation facilities, but to prevent political expenditure r the people peopat le injuresthe t railway, deprives es- sential accommodation, and will per- petuate the freight rates' burden. Last year the government present- ed a branch Lines' programme, that was stated would cost about $30,000,- 000 hut which railway experts claim- ed would entail an expenditure of $80,000,000. In this programme were many essential lines, but also some of the "pork barrel" variety that were unnecessary and meant, if built, a continuous drain on the paying branches for generations. The gov- ernment told 'parliament that they must vote for the whole programme or none at all. It was a, clear attempt to build political lines, by taking ad- vantage of the necessities of certain sections entitled to transportation and including the political lines in the programme of necessary lines and then telling parliament to swallowall or nothing. No information was given as to cost, necessity, traffic, estimated profits or deficits. *The Senate refused to vote for the bill containing .such pork barrel railways as the Guysboro branch, rejected by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Robert Bor- den and Hon, Arthur Meighen. This year the government has introduced almost the same pro- gramme but, despite threats to the contrary by Hon. George P. Graham, each branch is judged on its merits, and it is not a case of last year- all branches or none. The Senate's action last year has been justified by the government's 1urrender this year,. which permits parSkingat endorsing essential lines and rejecting .political projects. Parliament therefore retains control of thircapital expenditure to some degree. It can do justice to citizens requiring railway facilities and also justice to the country in rejecting unnecessary lines, Much .has been said of Sir Henry Thornton's letter endorsing the Branch Lines programme. It bore every evidence of having been wrung from him, as it gave--rnore reason why the programme should 'be care- fully scrutinized than it gave for the endorsation of the whole proposal. It is known that the. Canadian Na- tional officials -not directors -fear the adoption of the whole pro- gramme. ° It can be stated and on the Co-operation Will Win.
