I the 'dontinion. Having studied' 'his well , prepared address a have come to the conclusion that the hon. member for Quebec ,South (Mr.Power) - anade it abundantly clear what their method of campaign will be. He approached the different subgeets with Which he dealt very carefully. ,Alfter laying a. ,foundation- he approaches his next point with sante such expression •as: 1'I do it with, soave reluctance." Dur- ing the course 'of his speech be said: This is a matter 'Which AI find it sdmewhat distasteful to discuss, -Since it has been my practice ever since I entered politics not to indulge in or discuss personalities. Mr. GEORGE S'POTTON (North Huron):This is the first time, Mr, 'Spealcer, that I have had the pleasure of addressing the house during the present parliament while you have 'been in the chair, and wish to con- gratulate you, sir, upon y gratulate you with which ya e ddbates df our elevation to your present position, I also wish • to conupon the impart- iality it have Presided over ththis house. 1 think you shim] also b • e congratulated, Mt. Speaker, !kr burning the midnight oil wIhiie• learning the beautiful language • of our' compatriots. ;Right here 1 wish Ito say to our !French Canadian friend's itrolm Qu'retelc that I am delighted that I have lived long enough to hear the Prench language spoken from our, side of the house. It was rather lone- ly to be sitting'in the old parliament 'listening •bd the eloquent French !ad- dresses from the government side of he house and not knowing whether what the speakers were saying was • correct or not; but now we are glad 'we have such a gallant band of able wen from our sister province 'who will take care of the Coniervitive par- ty in the province of Quebec, and glad that theae battles of passion and 'prejudice 'will no longer hold sway. In the short time allotted to me, Mr. Speaker, G suppose I shall do as -all .ceher hon. members 'have ,done -- ,discuss everything:else but the bud- get. So Tar as the budget is CO11- roOTITed, I think it suits iny constft- uency very welt I suppose the ,prin- ciple of taxation is that it should be borne by thOse best able to bear it, • and the increase in the income tax, the lax on' corporations, comfortable chair's in railway coaches, compart- ments, 'staterooms and telegrams ,,v,-**.atild seem to be fair and equitable. (In connection with the tax on tele - Phone messages, I should like to say not many local calls in the country distriets bear tolls greater than 111 - "teen oents. About the only place our 'people will 'feel the effect of the in- creased taxation is through the six per cent sales tax. They werequite used to that under the Liberal regime, and 'apparently in my county they liked it because they supported the !King administration. Therefore so far as the 'budget is concerned G think it will be well received in the Constit- uency of North -Huron. Most of the budget speeches of the ,present ,session were made during the discussion on the unemployment re- lief measure. 1 do not know about 'Allenditions in any other province, but in the proVince Of lOntario G have heard practiCally no complaints about the handling of relief moneys. In my county relief measures were placed in the hands Of the municipalities, re- gardless of politics. A Liberal may - 'or selected ten men who went north from my home town, and we were all satisfied. The councils of the various 'municipalities in my county handled the relief 'problem in an eminently fair and efficient manner. I wish to give a Jew impressions I 'have gath- ered from listening 'to the debate. Who -1f heard "my right 'hon, leader being traduced,' as he has been dur- ing , this debate,' and When I have seen during the course of every de- bate opposition speakers trying to en- hance the glory -of the 'leader Of the opposition, it seem'ed to me that 'their attitude was fully set out, and that they had given an indication of their future campaign methods -throughout This was an admisaion that'he was going to discus:s personalities. "But on account "of the peculiar circumstances 'of the case; in .that it is prolpased, as a hope 'presently to 'be able to show, to 'entrust tb "one -man supreme ,pOwer in this country, and in that this one has; 'partly of 'his own volition and partly on account of the ,extravagant and exaggerated adula- tion of his followers, thrown 'his 'per- sonality into polities so that it has become almost a 'political issne, we who 'take a definite stand on this gnat. ter must 'dis'cuss that personality as any other live political issue." He goes, on to show that that per- sonality was the moving spirit in 'the last campaign, and gives it credit for the winning of -the general election. He then proce'e'ds to state that the personality to which he has referred is as unstable as the shifting sands, has the manners of a -Chicago police- man and the temperament of a Holly- wood- adtress. He even goes to the race track to get the -word "welsher." It Is not necessary For me to repeat the personal attacks Which have been made upon the leader of this 'gov- ernment. But let .inc say this: an 1930, rightly or wrongly, the people of Canada dismissed the old physician and took in a new one; and I pre - Sumo the will be in his place, pre- scribing for the .next three years. We have been elected for a ,five-year per- iod, and I think the people 01 Can- ada are sick and tired of political par- ties slipping to the country -whenever they think the .psychological moment has arrived. I agree with the plat- form of the United. Farmers. Of Can- ada that legislatures elected for a de- finite period should have the nerve to stay during their full term of oilfi'ce. and .appeal to the people at the end of that time, They should not strive at any 'particbler titre on some s-pecial issue to throw up a smoke screen, but should wait until they have served- their 'full term, and then face 'the country on their record. 11 the opposition think they can take a certain line of argument and hon, 'members on this side of' t'he house are so infantile, puerile, or sen- ile thatwe will take it lying down and will not meet 'it, then 1 purpose to disillusion thent to -night. We in the province Of 'Ontario are prepared to meetthe campaigners right out in the open, whether They come from Van- couver'or any other section of the do- minion. When a man mourifs.the plat- form and make's the staAentent that the le'ader of the government entered into conspiracy with the chartered. banks of Canada to put the .provin- cial savings, 'bank of Manitoba otet el business, such a statement should ,not go unclial.lenged. :That matter May High Class PrinIing We can give you prompt and satisfactory service at a moderate price in the following lines of printing: - Letterheads Cards Blotters Envelopes Tickets Booklets Statements. • Sale Bills Business Cards Bill -heads.

Early When starting a raspberry patch or' plantation the planting should take' place very early in the spring, before' the canes have budded out. This en--; ables the ,plants to go forward without' much sh.ock. It is important that the soil be carefully prepared and well fertilized if one is to secure abund- ant crons. Two general systems of planting: are 'equally pannier. With the hill: system the .plants are .set about four feet apart each way, while if the• hedge row system is used the distance• between the rows should be about. six feet, 'in order to provide plenty of room for cultivation. If the planta-: tion is of considerable size, the hest"' method to adopt is to run a furrow. and 'set the plants in this. For a:small-I plantation the hills may be' opened:1 with a spade with equal maces's: As a rule there is greater danger of shallow plantin'g -than of setting the plants too deep. The crown should be, at least four inches lower 'than the vel of the ground in such. a niannerr that the row of plants is 'in a depres- sion. 'Cultivation later on will level up ". the soil. an setting the plants the • earth should be trampled firmly above • the roots so as to ensure proper con- tact between the soil en'd the small roots.
