Stewart Bros. SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1923. ONTARIO'S POLITICAL SITUATION' Part IL • Everyone realizes. that the mem- bers of the present Cabinet took of- fice with the best intentions. Tho difficulty seems that some, at least, have never assumed full control and' effective supervision over their own departments, but have allowed their staff to largely direct matters, re- gardless of the consequences. Under such conditions the deputy heads not being responsible to parliament, and through parliament to the people, we cannot expect anything else but large- ly increasing expenditures. It was also known that the Hydrt. development at Chippewa must be completed; but, that the coat of al- most every department of the Gov- ernment should increase so enorm- ously, and that such a debt would lir so rapidly piled up, was 'something which no citizen of Ontario ever (:cant of under the direction of a Government composed so largely of farmers. 'fake, for instance, the educational department, the cost of which has risen from $3302,487.11, in 1919, (the last year of the Hearst Government), to $10,649,328.38 during the past year ending Octuber 31st, 1922, or a three- fold increase in three years. If lavish expenditure means increasing effici- ency, our educational system must be efficient. Let it not be supposed that we do not desire an efficient Educational system. The children of Ontario are entitled to be trained under the di- rection of the best educational sys- tem in the world, but it must continue to be broad, based upon the people's will. However, the Drury Govern- ment is not responsible for every defect in the administration of our present educational system. Their weakness, rather, is that they have failed, in the granting of the sup- plies towards education, to re-estab- lish in all its integrity, the first prin- ciples of representative responsible government, which at all times con- stitutes the greatest possible check upon extravagance and waste. The history of Liberalism in On- tario shows that Liberalism has al- ways stood for the preservation of 11 MacLEOD GOODS DELIVERED TELEPHONE 190• C Quality First Food is Man's most vital necessity.

It was in = fighting for these principles that th _ Liberal party was given the mandate by the electorate of this Province to assume the reigns of Government, E The previous Sandfield McDonald administration had frequen(ty asked = Parliament to place in its hands un- conditionally, the expenditure of large sums of public moneys, and ir- the end, the vital issue before the peaple was, whether the Government should be granted the power to spend the lump sum of $1,500,000.00 in aid of railways, when and where they wished; the Liberals contending that the Executive or the Cabinet was re- sponsible to parliament and through parliament to the people for every dollar expended, and that Parliament had the right to know each session, el where and for what purpose every . dollar would be used, before the an- nual supplies were voted. As the champions of that principle, they won the confidence of the elec-' _ Wrote in the fall of 1871,, which, for the unique period of 33 consecutive = years, they maintained inviolate, thus proving that 'it has always been the 1 policy of the Liberal Party to "trust1 the people." It is quite true that even the Con- servative party to -day would readily accept many things, which would not have been accepted even to Liberals a century ago; but, at the time each • reform has been gained, it has been due to the efforts of the Liberal' Party. Throughout the long contest it had become established, as a fundamental principle of popular government-, without which representative institu- 1 tions cannot stand, that the repre- scntatives of the people in Parliament , must control the expenditure of the public money through an annual vote. This has proven to be even an a f- feetive check upon waste and extrava- gance, and is largely the reason why the Liberal Party in Ontario is able to show such a splendid administra- tive record. it remained for the succeeding Con- servative Governments to step fifty years baekwards, and in autocratic fashion, take away from the repre- sentatives of the people the rightof voting annual supplies. The particu- lar instance is in connection with too University of Toronto, which by Sec. 140, of the. Statute of 190G, is entitled for all future time (as long as this prevision remains in force) to one - belt of the annual receipts of the Province from succession duties,` averaged over each preceding three years. This money, he the amount gteat or small, goes direct to the governors of the University without being voted annually by the members of the Legislature. The Liberal Lead- er, Hon. A. G. Mackay, vigorously protested against the principle of the provision, when the bill was going through the House, but without avail, and since that time the Liberals have protested time and time again. In this way the Conservative Party have refused to trust the people or the people's representatives. As n consequence, not. ten per cent. of the members of the House know anything about what is being done with the money. The grant is not discussed in Parliament, and the money is hand- ed over to a body, who are directly responsible to no one but themselves, and thea the door is open to possible PRUNES, per pound FIGS, (Cooking) 2 pound for RAISINS, (Seedless, bulk), pound RAISINS, (Seeded, Package) ASPARAGUS TIPS, (Canned) PEACHES, (Halves in Iiieavy Syrup) SPANISH PUMENTOS, Tin OILIVE BUTTER, Jar HEINZ, i Sweet Midget t;hurkin.t) SPANISH ONIONS, 3 Pounds for FORNIA BUTTER BEANS, 3 pounds for SLICED PINEAPPLE, Tin EVAPORA'I'EI) HORSE RADISH DATES, (Good, Bulk), Pounds GRAPE NUTS, Package MACARONI, (Lion Brand) SPAGHETTI, .(Lion Brand) 25c -35c 20c 2Oc 15c 15c 25c 25c 15c 15c• 171/2o and 20c 23c 15c 20c 50c 25c 15c 20c 60c 25c 25c 35c 25c 1Oc •16c 15c 15c 23c 50c 70c 20c 20c PURE COCOA, (25 per cent.

Under the same Conservative rule, the spirit of distrust was exhibited by the Gov- ernment in connection with the sal- aries paid to rural public school teachers. The system of model school train- ing was done away with at a time which resulted in such a serious shortage of public school teachers, = 3 salaries of rural public school teach. on have been doubled. • If this Province, -add the ,countr9• as a whole, is to fully MAO the Standard of its great ploseibilitien, the. vital problem of maintaining upon the land a strong, vigorous and con- tented population must be satisfac- torily solved. In its solution our educational authorities, and the peo. pie themselves, have a prime respons- ibility: There -should be a syster0' of rural public -school education sufficiently complete in itself to equip the child fur the full duties of citizenship and encourage the rural viewpoint. The present rural system, with its very sparse average attendance, does not, begin to meet the requirements. To pay a t"geher $1,000 a year for teach- ing ten pupils or less, as is done in over a thousand schools in Ontario, together with the cost of maintaining the school, is an unjustifiable expen- diture for the results obtained. With an average attendance of 20 pupils = or less in 61 per cent. of the rural schools of the Province, consolidation cf rural schools appears to be the only satisfactory solution. No leap than twenty-five consolidations heel already been effected in Ontario, and at the beginning of this year seven- teen of these were in actual opera- tion. Practically all the ratepayers are unanimous in their favor. Many, previously opposed to consolidation, are now convinced it is a great ad- vantage. Their expectations of much increased taxation have not been re- alized, and their fears of difficulties in conveyance of the children have proved groundless. We should hasten the day of con- solidated rural schools. Such schools, properly equipped with sufficient ac- commodation and spacious grounds, would become our rural community centres, and the pride of the citizens of every locality, where their children could be fully equipped for the duties of life, free from the dangers and contamination of more crowded cen- tres of population. that, even the present Government, with all its ingenuity and device, has never yet been able to overtake, As the result of these and other changes, almost all authority has been taken out of the hands of rural public school trustees. They are now large- ly at the mercy of the departmental heads, and in the glamor to get large grants from the public treasury, the Firemen's Progressive Euchre In Town Hall, Monday, March 19 at 8 p.m. You are cordially invited to attend this, the Euchre you have been waiting for.

IMPROVEMENTS THAT IMPROVE Last year the Grand Trunk Rail. way sent their landscape gardener to Seaforth, where he net the Directors of the Horticultural Society to dis- cuss the question of improving the appearance of the depot area, which would not only be a benefit to the but in a large measure, to the town as well. The G. T. R. of- fered the large field, immediately north of the depot, to the town to be used as a kiddies' playground, at a nominal rental, sufficient only for the Company to still retain title to the land, the Company to provide all necessary plants and shrubs to go around the field, also provide the plants and flowers for a flower bed extending from Main Street to the depot, showing the name "Seaforth" in seven -foot letters, in foliage plants, and the necessary posts and piping to protect same, and to provide the plants, etc., for a strip on the south, from the depot to the freight office, the Horticultural Society to prepare the ground, provide the necessary fill- ing and top dressing and do the plant - leg. At that time this offer could nee -le accepted by the town ae re- gards the playground, but appeale.9 strongly to the Directors as a big item towards local improvement, the object of all Horticultural Societies. Work was immediately commenced on the large flower bed, the town gen- erously donating the required filling ,,^.nt• this year the Society will com- plete the beds, provided they secure enough members to warrant a Gov- ernment grant sufficient to pay the cost. This grant is based on the number of members the society has, In their greenhouse at Stratford the G. T. R. have already started the plants and have indeed been gen- erous tb their allotment for Seaforth. It is now up to the citizens of the town to accept them or let them he turned over to some other live town.

A few years ago. the majority of farmers buying seed corn just bought seed corn, paying no attention to matter of grade. Now', nearly every fanner' is aware of the vast difference in seed corn grades, and he wishes the beat seed that be can secure. Registered seed is the highest grade on the market, and coinmands the top notch price. Farmers very highly dependent on heavy ensilage yields favor this grade. Government Standard No. 1 seed is next in order of merit, and a close second in quality. It is the popular grade for the average ensilage grow- er, because of its productiveness and reliableness, seldom failing to produce a heavy crop when soil and weather conditions are favorable. It is sub. jeet to Governm inspection and is guaranteed to minate at least 96 per cent. Its maximum moisture ccntent is 16 pe nt. tho it is usually reduced to p cent, to • eliminate all danger of it heating while in storage during the warm Spring days just prior to planting . time. Redried seed is next on the market if its germination is high. Its mois- ture content is similar to that of No. 1, but owing to its selection and lower germination it cannot qualify under the above grade. When this seed is purchased it is well to buy it subject t o a specified germination tent ikelected seed not redried varies in vs.lue. Its selection and primary vigor compares favorably with No. 1 grade but due to its high moisture content it is very liable to heat dur- ing storage. if this grade is pure_ chased, best results are obtained, if the seed has been spread out to the air during storage. Seed corn on the market, just as seed corn is only worthy of last con- sideration. It is low in price to at- traet buyers, but is the dearest seed in the long- run. It is shelled from all sorts of ears, regardless.. of vigor, germination, shape or size. It is very high in moisture content, and is difficult to prevent a falling in vitality and germination. Last year from Government tests, some lots of this grade lowered 23 per cent. in germ- ination during the five weeks in stor- age just previous to planting time. Too often when this grade has been planted, the stand has been so thin tr that replanting was necessary, with the result that the crop was late, ' light, send the silo only partly filled; whereas had seed of one of the high- er grades been used, there would not have. been any need of replanting, hu' there would have been a heavy yield, the silo filled with rich ensilage and the inconvenience of a crop short- age would have been avoided. The increased demand for the high- er grades of seed is the result of practical education on the part of the ensilage growers, who have tried the different grades out.. Heavy yields from seed of the higher grades, and sad experiences from the use of seed of the lower priced inferior grades, have been impressive factors. When buying seed corn it is well to examine the hag and tag for the grade speci- fications, All reliable dealers amt shippers designate the grade, whether it be Registered seed, No. 1, or just redried.
