WEEKLY REVIEW ,OF
TIkE LEGISLATURE.
The Legislature last week approved
supplementary estimates to the extent
of .,$''7,546,154 without a single vote be-
ing altered. Item of $25,000 for wolf
bounty cervices and expenses was
used by"members of the House as a
vehicle to suggest an increase in the
bounty.
"We have 'found that the money
inducement is not effective," stated
Premier Ferguson. "We have been
able to get• more wolves when paying
$15, than when we were paying $40.
:When Quebec and Manitoba were
paying $15, we were paying $40, and
we got all tate wolves from these prov-
inces. Since then we have reached an
understanding so that the treasury
will not be defrauded."
* e
Ilaving reached the stage where
medical treatment was no longer ne-
cessary, 'Premier 'Ferguson explained
to the House that there were 1,000 to
1,200 persons in Ontario mental hospi-
tals who were now ready for family.
or municipal care. Discussion fallow -
ed the introduction of a vote of $2,.000
in the estimates to provide •for the re-
moval of such patients. Many of the
patients, the Premier felt, would be
provided for the family. The he Pre-
Y Y
ei
e disposed of the idea that special
hour 1
s n gov-
ernment
be erected. "The h ov
ernment does not intend to do any-
thing heartless," stated the Premier,
ebut mental hospitals are not in any
sense boarding d houses, s but curative'.
g !

o s ifalient s

p
certain condition they .would • never
have Been taken in."
* * *
Amendment to .the Hospital and
Charitable Institutions Act, providing'
that the governnent per diem rate dor
indigent patients he increased from 50
to 60 cents a clay, has been introduced
in the Legi's'lature: The measure also
provides an increase in the municipal
grant from $1.50 to $1.75 per day. The
Ontario Hospitals association had
urged on the government • that the
grants be raised to 75 cents and $2
respectively, Provisions of the bill
are to be operative front April 1.

Vast importance of research as it
applied to farming and industry was
stressed by the, Premier in announc-
ing his measure for the establishment
of a Research Council. . The study of
elimination' of waste 'was of primary
importance, In addition, modern re-
search would result in many savings
and make ample return to the prav-
ince for the money so invested, The
Premier stated that he had secured

xirtance. of Ontario taking this step,"
'tate(' the Premier. "The proposition
it not to put the undertaking under
he direction of. the !University but
o nominate a' !Research Council,
which will be made up of university
men, representatives of various in-
dustries,, agriculture, raining, manwt
factoring of 'different kinds, pure
science, .perhaps` insurance sten-=men
directly interested in the problem."
,The Premier pointed out that there
would be no conflict with the Federal
sehetne along 'the same direction; one
being complementary to the other.
!Supplementing the Frauds Preven-
tion Act, • Attorney -General W. 'H,
Price has,introduced a measure which,
when passed by the House, -will oblige
all companies whether ineofporated
provincially or by Federal charter, or
in a foreign country to file certain in-
formation with the 'Provincial Secre-
tary. The .change comes in the form
of an amendment 'to the Companies
Act, and provides for the 'filing of a
prospectus by all companies. In the
past companies incorporated by the
Dominion 'Government have refused
to file information with the Ontario
•Gdvertnent, The object of the bill is
to provide further facilities for the
