• The Wise heads counsel leaving the
••.xnatter oyer till the.next:;general elec.
'tion,.. when then candidates can tell the
voters frankly that they want four
thousand dollars a year salary. . Rut
many oil the surprise packages in the
shape of Members of Parliament who
Will not get another nomination and
who cannot expect to pass this way'
again,, are anxious to suek the orange
right now and let the juice drip down
their chins. They have no interest in
future Parliaments' wages—it's their
own they would be attending to.
This campaign for a raise in wages
is being conducted with great persist-
ency. It has taken form as slackness
in attending divisions—once the Gov-
ernment squeezed through with a
majority of five only -but this `prac-
tice is dangerous, because if the Gov-
ernment were defeated, the wage
raisers would presently be getting no
wages at- all. This prudent fear of
spilling the beans resulted in a Gov-
ernment majority of twenty-five on
the budget, but the growlers are still
at it and threatening other embarrass-
ments.
Most of the sulky fellows are on
the Government side, but .there are
enough wage -raisers in the Opposition
to make the movement formidable.
Toput the increase across the Gov-
ernment would like to see the move-
- meat unanimous and failing that,
things may. remain as they are.
A deputation which visited Premier
Borden, shortly after his return home,
received a non -committal answer and
withdrew muttering. Naturally the
Government has a real fear of Parlia-
ment raising its own wages at a time
when soldiers' gratuities are being
refused and pensions are being cut
down. •
The Horrid Details.
The statistics of the case are these:
Last year Parliament held two ses-
sions, the members receiving therefor
five thousand dollars. This year—it
is hoped—there will be only one ses-
sion:, and the pay as usual, twenty-
five hundred dollars. Averaging the
two years, the members of Parliament
have been in receipt of an annual
sessional indemnity of thirty-seven
hundredand fifty dollars, which is
within two hundred and fifty dollars
of the promised land. This is pretty
good considering the hard times. The
projected increase would mean an
appropriation of half a million dol—
lars, which, at five per cent. -repre-
sents a capital sum of ten million
dollars. Even_ in these days of large
figures, ten million dollars is a con-
, siderable investment, although it may
not look so prodigious `to a Govern-
ment who is cheerfully losing a million
dollars a week in the national rail --
ways.
That the indemnity grab does not
find favor with the Ottawa corres-
pondents is shown by the fact that a
week ago last Monday every daily
newspaper in Canada carried a story
from Ottawa, pointing out the im-
pudence of the projected raid on `the
Treasury. The Ottawa correspondent
takes no . stock in all this buncombe
about the high cost of .living for mem-
bers of Parliament, because he knows
right well how closely the average
member of Parliament lives. Neither
does he take any stock in the agru-
nnent that four thousand dollars a
year means better members of - Par-
liament than twenty-five hundred
dollars a year. If he is old enough
lie can remember when members of
Parliament got only fifteen hundred
dollars a year, and those fifteen hun-
dred dollar members were the best
members of all. They had some love
for their country—they were not al-
ways trying to bleed it.
The salary -grabbers express sur-
prise that the newspaper Hien should
interfere in what they call a purely
domestic affair, forgetting that the
press is here to watch the interests
of the people when the members of
Parliament ignore them. It takes a
eagilant press to guard the guardians,
and when that press has • lately had
its face stepped on by a Parliament
which condoned taking away from it
the freedom of the lobbies—a very
necessary thing in the correspondent's
business—it . naturally becomes that
much more vigilant.
Where Thrift Conies In.
The averagemember of Parliament
spends not more than a hundred and
fifty dollars a. month at Ottawa. Indeed
one hundred and fifty dollars is a gen-
erouspaysperhapsseven
estimate. . He s n
dollars a week for his room or his
share of an apartment, fourteen dol-
lars a week for his board—that makes
eighty-four dollars a month—and the
other sixty-six dollars a month he has
for laundry, tobacco, movie shows and
the joy of living. I don't see how he
gets away with that item of sixty-six
dollars for sundries, considering the
fact thaf he franks his laundry home
to get washed, and enjoys besides free
postage, free stationery and free travel
on the railways. He is a great little
man for getting things •free and has
no false modesty about asking for
more. So far he has not been able -
to wrangle fres berths on thesleep-
ing car andfree meals on the diner,
but he will probably get them both,
in the long run. Meanwhile he has
an annual pees on all the .railways,
and is setting up a 'great howl to get
the same.. for his wife and fanuly.
On the whole it would be just to
say that the average member of Par-
liament lives for next to nothing, per-
haps one hundred and twenty-five
dollars a month at the outside—five
hundred dollars, let us suppose, for
the average four months' session, and
the other two thousand he salts away.
There need be little 'Sympathy with
the cry that his business is suffering.
If he has the kind of business that
suffers in his absence --par example--
a doctor, he should not be in ' Parlia-
ment. If he is a lawyer his business
probably benefits by his Ottawa con-
nection. If he is a merchant he prob-
ably has his business so well organiz-
ed that the machine works without
him. If he is a farmer 'the crops
certainly do not refuse to , grow be-
cause he is away from hone and what
he makes at Ottawa is jiet lie much
velvet.
If any member of Parliititent=` is
poorer for playing politicsat Ottawa
it is up to him tqstop playing politics
and mind his own,. business..-

might get ten a week. Rewarded, as
he is, for merely voting, he pulls out
around one hundred and fifty-six Oi-
lers a week, or say, one hundred and
twenty-five dollars a division.
No Waste Here.
The rules, privileges and perquisites
of Parliament conspire to protect the
twenty-five hundred dollars sessional
indemnity from too great encroach-
ments by the cost of - living. I have
mentioned free railway fare, free
postage, free express, free stationery
free speech, of course—I must not
overlook free feeding—or the next
thing to ,it. -
If the Member of •Parliament feeds
at the Parliamentary restaurant—
which he does to the - extent of two
hundred and forty meals a year—he
cannot rossibly spend more than a
dollar ninety a day on his eating, in-
cluding strawberries and " ice cream
which are extras. If he is a frugal
man, and takes the thirty cent club
breakfast and cuts otit the strawber-
ries and ice cream, he can get along
on a dollar thirty. Mostly he gets a-
long on the dollar thirty—he and his
wife and his children and his chil-
drens' children to the fourth genera-
tion. Even the smart fellows who
are putting up a big front with a room
at the Chateau come round at meal
times to take advantage of the bar -
.gains in cooked food.
The thirty cent club breakfast would
cost ninety at the Chateau Laurier,
and so on scaling up to the sixty cent
breakfast which would be two dollars
and fifteen in the big hotel by the
Rideau Canal. The eight course table
d'hote luncheon, and eight course table
d'hote dinner,—each fifty cents—would
cost five dollars at the same " high-
toned caravansary five dollars with-
out the tip which is expressly barred
by the rules . of the Parliamentary
Restaurant. In other words the aver-
age member of Parliament who is
crying out for more wages on the
ground of the high cost of living,
sponges on the people of this country
to the extent of three hundred and
thirty-seven thousand dollars' worth
of food, which amount represents the
difference between what he pays and
what he would have to pay, if the'
Parliamentary Restaurant preserved—
as Dr. Steel, Chairman of the Restaur-
ant Committee, puts it—the "ameni-
ties of a first class club," with prices
to fit.
It is difficult to see just how a fifty
cent table d'hote and the exclusiveness
which Dr. Steel's soul craves can: go
together. It appears more reasonable
to believe that the exclusiveness would
follow if the prices were raised and
the charges adjusted to include over-
head, such as lighting, heating, rent,
labor, laundry and such.
•
Recently Dr. Steel, Chairman of the
Restaurant Committee, giving rein to
a fear that the people might tumble
to the three hundred and thirty-seven
thousand dollars' worth of food. Par-
liament was eating at the expense of
the nation, made the restaurant much
more "exclusive," by throwing out the-
officials of the House and the Hansard.
staff. Dr. Steel comes from Tavi-
stock, Ont., where, of course, ex-
clusiveness and the amenities of a -
first -class club are in full sway. Re
turned at. the election of 1917 by t'he
allocated soldiers' vote, Dr. Steel has
developed purple -notions. He speaks
of the officials of the House as "em-
ployees," and of the Press Gallery as
"low scribblers." This is pretty good
coming from a member of the bush
league, who reads . one stupid speech
a year to the House and thinks of
himself as an orator. Dr. Steel is a
hang -over from the order -in -council
period --very autocratic, . don't you
know—spit in democracy's face where -
ever you- see it. Where did he get it,
I wonder? Not in Tavistock, I'll be
bound. 'Still candor compels me to
admit that he is saving money when
he makes the restaurant "exclusive,"
because the fewer the people that eat
there the smaller the deficitL.the treas-
ury has to make up.—H. F. G.
HURON COUNTY COUNCIL
(Continued from page 1.) -
Road No. 25, Colborne, 11/2 miles
easterly from Dunlop.
Road No. 3, Stanley, 112 tiles.
It is also planned to re -surface with
gravel or crushed stone considerable
portions of the various roads to keep
then in repair. Improved methods of
spreading and applying the road
metal= is being insisted upon so that
the new gravel should not suffer so
-much obstruction to the traffic 11 is
often -the case► -
Plans have been prepared to re-
build a number of the county bridges
and one contract is already under way,
The Grand Bend bridge contract has
also been commenced, the Canadian
Bridge Co. securing the steel contract
for $16,849, . and James Lawson, the
concrete contract for .$11,000, while a
temporary bridge has also been built.
It has been found necessary also to
plan for the- rebuilding of a consider-
able number of culverts. - ,.
During the winter arrangements
were made to have bridge plank de-
livered for eeflooring county bridges.
Some of this has been already_ 'de-
livered and placed on the bridges. An
examination of -the steel bridges of
the county show that most of them
are in need of paint, and it is hoped
that it will be possible to have those
in the worst condition repainted.
The following - estmates were sub-
mitted to the Highways Department
of expenditures during 1920:
1. Provincial County Road Con-
struction, $15,000.
2. County Road Construction, $45,-
000.
3. Provincial County'• Bridge Con-
struction, •$8,000. -
4. County Bridge Coni~truction',
$24,000. -
5. • Machinery, $16,000.
6. Special Grants to nuinicipalities

7, Special 'Grafts to Municipalities

$; Superintendence, $3,000.
' _ 9. Provincial County 'Road Main-
tenance, 1$15',000,I':' `'i •41-
10. .County Road Maintenance $30,-
000.
Total, $32,000,,:
Provincial grants on this expendi-
ture if the programme were complet-
ed would amount to $113,400. Munic-
ipalities would provided $26,000, a
total of $139,400, which would leave
$92,600 to be raised by the county by
direct levy.
These -estimates are quite liberal
and it - is expected that aa it is so
difficult to secure the men and teams
to get the work done and as prices
are so high, a great deal will be left
over for the future,. so that if a levy
of two mills or $85,002.80 is raised
it will be sufficient to cover the whole
expenditure.
It would seem advisable for various
municipalities to allow the expendi-
tures to - which they are entitled to
accumulate as a sort of sinking fund
to be used when conditions become
more suited td the carrying out of
heavy work.
Frequently the county is able to ac-
commodate a local municipality by
loaning machinery to them. 'For the
sake of uniformity and to place the
inatter. on a business basis it is sug-
gested that the following rates - be
charged or others that the council
deem more satisfactory: -
1—Crusher and bin ..$8.00 per day
2—Gas tractor 5.00 per day
3—Grader - 2.50 -per day
4 -wheel scraper , , 1.00 per day
5—Road hone 1.00 per day
6—Drag scraper .. .50 per day
With' regard to County Bridge work
there is tittle to report except that
most of these having been absorbed
by the Designated Road System, it
leaves little of the former county
bridge work being done.
With regard to the payment of
accounts, the present method of 'pro-
ceedure is not always •satisfactory;
leading to delay and dissatisfaction
in_roany cases. All menehaving money
due them desire -to secure it promptly
and in many cases have absolute need
of receiving it -without any delay.
Moreover the county is frequently able
to secure discounts on bills if proinpt
payment is made. It is therefore re-
spectfully suggested that the Treasur-
er be authorized to pay directly on the
order of the engineer and that a Board
of Audit consisting of the Warden
and the County Clerk sit monthly or
quarterly to examine and audit all
accounts paid.—T. Roy Patterson,
County Engineer.
County Property
The County Property Committee re-
ported as follows:
We examined the Court House and
found it clean and some of the work
which was recommended at the Jan-
uary meeting has been satisfactorily
done, and the rest is to be completed
soon. We also recommended that the
outside of the Court„House be paint
ed.
We recommend that a desk phone
be obtained for the clerk's office.
We recommend that shelves and
racks be obtained for papers, etc.,
for the enginee's office and also a
phone for his office.
We visited the Children's Shelter
and found everything clean and tidy.
Some of the work recommended at
January meeting has been dorie..There
are four children in the Shelter at
present, , who appeared to be happy
and contented and well looked after.
We visited the Registry Office and
found it clean and well looked after.
We visited the jail and found there
seven prisoners, none of whom had
any complaint to make of their care
and treatment. We found the jail and
surroundings in fair condition, with
the exception of a few cracks in the
yard walls, which should be fixed.
We recommend that all future sup-
plies for repairs and upkeep for the
•jail and house be ordered only through
the Committee or the Clerk.—John
Douglas, Chairman. -
Education Committee
The Education Committee reported
as follows: Re communication of
Deputy Minister of Education in re-
ference to creating a new Inspector-
ate, your committee recommended
that no action be taken.
We recommend the payment of the
following amount of • fees of the
County of Huron pupils, attending
Harriston - High School, $417.36. --
Morton -Elliott, Chairman.
Warden's Committee
The Warden's Committee reported
as follows: Re attendance of meet-
ing at London as called by Board of
Trade for Western Ontario for

den's Committee to attend: Mitchell,
McNabb, Beavers and County Clerk
Holman.
Re arrangements for reception of
the Hon. 'Biggs, '--Minister of Pu&lic
Works, for meeting at Clinton on
June 15th, we recommend that , the
following members of Warden's Com-
mittee, make necessary arrangements:
• Petty, L+ep•rte and County
Clerk- oltnam -
We. also recommend that the mat-
ter of the council attending the above
meeting as a . whole be left to the
council.
Special Hospital Committee -
Majority Reportf--•In view of the
need for more efficient hospital ac-
commodation for Huron County, we
recommend that a grant not exceed-
ing $8,000 be . made to each public
hospital, not to exceed five, in number,
for construction and equipment.
Before this grant be made each
hospital board shall be required • to
raise by by-law or private subscrip-
tion or both, an amount equal to the
grant, which shall be given them.
No grant to be made until the year
1921, and it shall be put in the esti-
mates for that year.—Gordon Young,
Chairman. The motion was lost.

We have examined all investments
of the sinking fund and have found
everything as stated in Treasurer's
statement.
We would recommend that a sys-
tem be adopted in regard to issuing
cheques from pay lists, so that it may
be possible to identify the cheque with
the pay list or warrant, as it is al-
most impossible to arrange and check
cheques -with statement.
We have examined the Good Roads
accounts and have found them correct
and to agree with vouchers, and
engineer's ,books, but would recom-
mend that all business of the Good
Roads be kept entirely in one bank,
all receipts deposited therein and all
-cheques issued thereon, so that - it
would be possible at any time to know
what funds stand to the credit of the
system.
We find the sum of $236.85 entered
as a • refund from Treasurer of Mc-
Killop should not be entered in state-
ment as it was already entered in
1918.
We have examined the bonds of
the Treasurer, also the insurance oh
buildings andfind everything in
order.—D. F. McGregor. -

Eller—Cochrane: A very pretty
wedding in which many readers of
The Huron Expositor will be inter-
ested, took place at Montreal, on
Thursday, - June 3rd, when Miss
Claudia Cochrane, of Montreal, daugh-
er of Mr. John Cochrane, of Hensall,
Ont., was united in marriage to Mr.
Lorne St. Clair Eller, son of Mr. A.
J. Eiler, of Welland, Ont. The mar=
riage was quietly solemnized at 9
o'clock in the morning at the home of
Rev. Donanld MacLeod, the officiating
minister. The bride, who was given
away by her brother, Mr. James W.
Cochrane of Montreal, was moat
becomingly attired in a travelling
suit of sand colored velour, with hat
and- shoes to match, and wore a beau-
tiful corsage bouquet of lilllies of
the valley. Mr. and Mrs. Eiler left
at ten o'clock that same morning by
the International Limited for To-
'ronto and other points in Western
Ontario, where they will spend some
time visiting friends and relatives
prior to their return to Brockville,
where they will make their home. Mr.
Eiler holds a responsible position with
the Canada Foundries and Forgings
Limited, whose headquarters are in
that city. While in military service
overseas, Mr. Eiler had a very dis-
tinguished career, winning his com-
mission on. the field, and among other
honors was awarded the Military
Cross and Military Medal.
Briefs:—The rains of this week have
helped the crops and all vegetation
very much, but yet not enough to
meet the present needs.—Splendid
work is being done on the sideroad
running from the London Road to
Hensall Union Cemetery and past it,

places making it really unsafe for
driving, particularly at night, with
autos running so much, it is now a
fine wide r4oad, nicely graidsed and
much credit is due to those having
the work in charge, and it is hoped
that many more narrow roads in
places will be widened and made safe
for traffic.—Mr. A. Ryckman on Main

Rev. Mr. Doan, M.A., B.D.,• has been
slated for Wheately. The reverend
gentleman did not expect to be moved
this year and regrets very much on
leaving our village in a few weeks,
where he has enjoyed the work and
got along so well, but being the ap-
pointment of the . Stationing- Com-
mittee • he had no alternative in the
matter, but at the same time realizes
that the work in Wheately, which is
a good charge in every respect, will
not be as hard for him as it is here,
as he will only have the one charge.

slated for Exeter, will be Mr., Doan's
successor, and is very highly spoken
of as a fine man and good speaker.—
