Greig 'Clothiot • THE UNITED FARMERS' CONVENTION The United Farmers' Movement in Ontario is live and vital.' No one who attand.ed the annual convention in To- ronto last 'week could doubt either its vitality or its strength. Over 2,500 delegates representing over 1,400 clubs almost filled Massey Hall, the largest public auditorium in Toronto, and for three, days problems national and provincial were discussed earnesq- ly and seriously and decisions were reached only after everyone had had a chance to express his or her views. As was inevitable in such a gather- ing, there were differences of opinion and debates were. often vigorous. No better indication. of the good health of the movement could be desired. There was no difference of opinion on fundamental questions, but what dif- ferences there were may be accepted as proof that the organization is not machine controlled. Even a suggestion of machine con- trol was resented. This was best ex- k-mplified in the laying over of pro- posed changes the Farmers' plat- form. These changes, suggested by . the Council, of Agriculture, weres t I raw n up so recently that there Was [to time to submit them to the clubs for discussion. A: delegate immedi- ately_ objected to putting through important business without full op- portunity for _discussion. He found roach support, the matter was laid over for another year and the old platform still stands. There were few set addresses this year. On Wednesday evening Premier Drury received an almost tumultuous welcome that demonstrated just how strongly the U. F. 0. is behind the provincial Premier_ President Rey - of the Ontario Agricultural College, and H. W. Wood, of the United Farmers of Alberta, also re- ceived warm welcomes and an at- tentive hearing. Aside from this one evening, however, the sessions were given over largely to distussion and the results of the convention are em- bodied in changes in the constitution of the U. F. 0. and in the resolu- tions. Rural democracy had a great three days of self expression. Secretary J. J. Morrison received a hearty and• affectionate greeting when he rose to give his report.

Were all membershifs paid in, he would have been ab e to report the U. F. 0. as 60,000 strong. In 1918. there were 25,0(10 members in 620 clubs. "This is a remarkably kood showing in view of the 'fact that no abnormal condition prevailed that would tend to stimulateorganiza- tion," commented Mr. Morrison. "A new vision has possessed the rural. mind and steady determined progress and loyalty toward this • end is every- where apparent.

"Central funds," he said, "should be used only for the introduction of the movement into unorganized districts and for promotion Of schemes in the interests of the industry and the as- sociation as a whole." , District and riding meetings had not been held in many cases and township organiiation is neglected. than t e cy U111111111111 IM▪ MO MOM / MO Miff HEARTILY DO WE WISH YOU A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS 0.8!

The present sys- tem, Mr. Staples said, was not adapt- ed to the .business of farming. J. Mawing objected to voting on a subject on which not one in 20 of the audience were in a position to form an intelligent opinion, Mr. Fisher, St. Catharines, thought the any farmer who understood the lim tations of the present system was in a position to vote on a change: Mr. Tom MelV411an, another member of the Commission, also spoke in favor of the resolution, telling in more detail of the experiences of other provinces and other countries with rural .credits.

' Legislation bringing - the "recall" into effect was demanded in a resolu- tion introducted by W. L.%Smith, Uoder this system a member Ailio did not prove satisfactory to his constit- uents could be recalled at any time. The seconder of ' the resolution was of the opinion that such legislation would be a most effective bar to graft. Mr. Wright, nominated as U. F. O. federal candidate in East Algoma, said that one of the great advantages was • that it transferred greater responsibility On the elector- ate. After some questioning, the resolution was passed - almost una- nimously. • , Some form of consultation that will lead to more co-operation between electors and elected was asked for in a vigorous address by J. J. Morri- son, in which he condemned the whole party machine system of the past, freely admitting that the system was bad because people wanted it so. Now we have a farmers' platform, MO - democratically made, and we must keep in touch with our members and see that our wishes are carried out. The convention approved of the prin- ciple laid down. Mr. Ascough, New Ontario, made the claim that thousands •of dollars are watited in road construction in unorganized districts in the north by road supervisors locally appointed and ignorant of their work. He nerved that the government be asked to ap- point competent engineers to super- vise the work and *that .the work be done by contraet where possible. An aniendment asked that the resolution apply to all roads in the province. Mr. Sangster, Ontario County, moved a further amendment that the resolu- tion be referred back to be re -draft- ed. He objected to the work being done by contract. Thil last amend- ment was carried. * The railways cross many farms bald Id such eases the law requires that a proper crossing be provided. The planks are removed in the fall. before snow and the result is great incon- venience and frequent loss. Mr. II. Currie, Middlesex, moved that 4the Government be asked to compel rait- ways to leave planks on erossings as long as necessary. There was abso- lute unanhnity on what may seein a small question to somet but is most aggravating to those directly affect- ed. Fariners are not milli' ristic. They protested against any urther grants by the Provincial Government to the Navy League, on the ground that such funds are used in part at least . to inculcate the spirit of militarism in the- minds of the young: A resolution, that was to havelleen seconded by Prot A. Leitch, had he been present, provided that investiga- tions into the cost of production -of fano products, as concluded by the Department of Farm Management of the 0, A.
