PARLIAMENTARY LETTER With three weeks of the session over the House bps made surprising progress with the business in hand. The Auditor General's report' and the estimates were down early, and al- ready some of the latter have been taken op. The intention of the Gov- ernment is stated to be to keep the estimates to the fore and get as many of them through the House be- fore the end of the fiscal year. Amalgamation of the Canadian Na- tional Railway system has been car- ried out and the headquarters of the system located at Montreal, where the new board will be in a position to meet every move of its competi- tors as need be. There were, of course, objections from other cities which desired that the headquarters of the National system be located here, but on the whple the choice of the directorate has bean well receiv- ed by the people of the cou}lt y. Sir Henry Thornton has made s umber o€ appointor ata on his star the d ort 1 d' the new 'railway .:alt begin' ning -to get well rfhder way, accord- ing to reports. « * « •As was expected, the Address in reply to the Speech from the Throne carried, despite the amendment of Mr. Hoe', and the sub -amendment of Mr. Shaw against .it. The former .which declared for :further tariff re- duction immediately, was defeated by 140 to 54 and the latter, which sought to add a paragraph regarding econe omy and retrenchment, went down by 114 to. 76.. The next teat of the Gov- ernment's strength came in a resolu- tion moved by William Irvine; Labor member for Calgary, which sought to declare that no adverse vote against the Government should be re- garded as sufficient reason for re- signing unless it was follower im- mediately by a vote of 'no confidence.' The Government's attitude, stated Mr. Fielding, was that when the Govern- ment lost the support of the majority of the House, it was no longer en- titled to remain in power, whether or rel the vote was directly one of no confidence. Mr. Irvine's resolution was defeated by 103 to 52 votes. • • • The Redistribution Bill has been given second reading and the motion to appoint a special joint committee to work out its details will probably be made by the Prime Minister be- fore the end of this week. Mr. King explained that the view of the Gov- ernment was that in order to frame a satisfactory Redistribution Bill, all parties in the House should have a voice in the settlement of its details, and he, therefore, proposed to follow the precedent set by the late Sir Wil- frid Laurier, of appointing a Com- mittee representing all parties in the House to work,,,pist the details of boundaries. Under the new Bill the House of Commons will consist of 245 members as against 235 at the present time. Nova Scotia will be the only one of the. older Provinces tolose seats, and she will lose two in the shuffle. Tire Western Provinces will, of course, be: tht.ones to gain the additional i•epre- sertation. * 5 « A loan of'$.5,000,000 to assist in the development of harbor facilities at the port of Vancouver 'went through the House, with the support of prac- tically all British Columbia members regardless of their party affilis1tiors. The money is to be used for the de- vt-lepment of better elevator facili- ties at the Pacific Coast province for the handling of the western grain crop. « Quite a storm developed over a resolution by T. S. Woodsworth, La- bor member for Centre Winnipeg, who sought to persuade the House that all Canadian indemnity claims o • eaeso—.-. against Germany should be with- • drawn in the interest of world peace.

G. Power, member for Quebec South. who moved to repeal. the Civil Service t}ct. Mr. Power, in, rising, explain- ed that he wished to change his mo- tion so that it' would return the Civil Service legislation to its status of 1908. Rt. Hon. Arthur; Meighen, however, objected to • on the ground that notice had been giv- en; se' Mr. Polder, was c; lied to 'proceed with hire original tion. The- Prime minister, taking art in the debate, said the Government could not accept the motion -as it stood. To do more, meant doing a- way with the Civil Service Act and the CivilService Commission. How- es, e, the . Government did feel that there .was plenty of room for im- provement in. the Civil Service. con- ditions and he was in favor of ap- peinting a special committee to go into the whole matter and report to the House what should be done. -The Government to -day found itself with the responsibility for the Civil Service and operation of the various depart- ments, he said, but the Ministers were not able, under the present act to go put and build up or change their staffs in a way which would make far more efficiency. That sort of thing should be looked into and investigated. Mr. Meighen declared he feared patronage, and Mr. Forks, the Pro- gressive Leader,`stood pat with a cry of "Hands off!" The resolution stands for further debates. « « 5 The estimates, showing a splendid reduction in the amount ofmoney required for the operation of the pub- lic service during the coming fiscal year, have been placed before the House by Hon. W. S. Fielding and the first item of them has been pass- ed. Mr. Fielding asked for a total vote of $427,011,235, as steeliest $479,171,- 5591 last year. Of this year's total, $267,191,150, is for the redemption of debt, $73,000,000 for the National Railways deficit, and $1,500,000 a loan Clover and Timothy Seed lt<e-cleaned We have our Grass Seed cleaners in operation and are prepared to reclean all varieties of Clover and Timpthy Seed nt' all times.

He says: "We have a large acreage of Western land which has never been touched by the hand of man and it ought to be put into cultivation. Our food would then be cheaper and the high cost of living would come down." What is the essence of this man's plea for immigration? We would say Ithat stripped down to the bone his desiro for immigrants is that he may be supplied with cheap food. "Come and grow us cheap food!" is the sub- stance of his cry. My! What a Int of unthinking people can he caught with the slogan, "Cheap Foul " The great cry of the Labor politicians in the Old Country is "Free Dinner Pail," meaning no taxes on food. If only one of our Canadian politicians could "corner" that catch -cry, what a following he would gather around him in the urban centers. But, hon- estly now, don't you think that food is cheap enough at the present time? We do; we even consider that so far as the farmer is concerned, food is toe cheap—much too cheap. You say you are 'paying out ton much of your earnings on that which you con- sume. We answer, you are not pay- ing enough or if yen are it is no. the farmer who is benfitting there- by. Now, Mr. Urbanite, we want to take you into the field of eompiirative values and ask you to balance up your various wants. Figure out tho relationship of your needs; weigh them up carefully and see which plumps the scales. Here they arra . Fond, clothing. housing and enter- tainment. Which of these items is the most neceaanry to your existence. or which is your primary need? just to help you arrive nt a sane conclu'- inn. suppose we ask another ques- tion. What is the fundamental con- dition governing the being in a position to work in the city? Is net the answer health, Strength? Why? Premise, if wr are net in pose,•••. .n of health and strength, we could nit work. No work in the city mean: eln money; no money, no fond: rn food, starvation and death. If that be the case, then that which no, •:s',- 1-3 !hc body -giving health and strength holds first place in our lives, (I ani speaking here of physical life only) ant! is, therefore, of prime• value to us. This means then that food is ' actually worth more to us in ex- changeable cash valves than any tbh-'. kliryt front heg'; =W148 ,4,1,0' ce f cents for r„ht�lat cents, and . when tluft home at tea time she,iin slices for her 45 Melte, tat simply asked her ifaba bfld, a. time.

December' els* last, the , emigration<"tough- Kingsgate alone had been 5,0.00 in excess of the immigration. Auoth6r Western Member stated that on the train he started • east on were thirty families going to Oregon. What is the matter? Just, two words . sums it up: "Cheap Food." Ir the Peace River District this fall the price paid for wheat was 65 cents per bushel, and oats 17 cents per bushel; oats coat 14 cent$ to three) and while I neglected to ask what' it - cost to thresh wheat, my informant stated that every bushel of wheat he sold at 65c cost him $1.25 to pro- duce. That meant a discount of al- most 50 per cent. of its value. How longcan our Western farmers sur- vive if they must sell their 'produce at 50 per cent. ofita cost. Is it any wonder that the settlers are getting out as fast as they can? Now un- der such conditions would you bring a stranger, stick him out on a piece of land, say "God bless you," and then calmly sit down and calculate how long the fellow will last before financially bleeding to death. Do you not think that when we point a set- tler's eyes westward, buoy him with hope and faith in a "land flowing with milk and jeoney" and then sur- round him with conditions that saps his energy, pumbs his courage and destroys his faith we make a stupen- dous stupid blunder. Have we not heard some say, in bitterness of their blighted hopes, "Canada is the last country -god .made And He .forgot to finial: it." Shall we' continue to bring men here to "God's own country" and "break" them with cheap food fee the city man. Cheap? Yes. in cash, but God only knows bdw dear in everything but cash. City man, your food is too cheap now. F. WELCH, Varna. ' • • LOGAN The Council.—Conncii met on Feb. 20th, with all the members present.
