SEAFORTH, Friday, July 15, 1932.
The Abused M,P,'s and
M, L.A.'S
Mr. William Fester •Garland'
member of 'Parliament for the con,
stituency of Carleton. •Recently he.
addressed the annual meeting of the
Conservative Association in, his rid-
ing, and served notice that hereafter
he is going to take Sunday off from
his official deities. On that day he
will positively refuse to. see any per-
son regarding political matters. He
said:
"I'm going to have that•one•dsy to
myself. Just because one man is a
member of Parliament and others
have nothing to do on the Sabbath
does not mean that they should run
to him to burden ham' with their
troubles."
Mr. Garland is perfectly justified
in his attitude, one which, other M.
P.'s and members of the Legislature
might reasonably adopt. Some peo-
ple judge a public man's work by
the number of speeches he makes on
the floor of the douse, by the num-
ber of times his name appears in
print. 'If he is a speech -making
gentleman, they call him a good mem-
ber. If• he' doesn't make a lot of
speeches, which in actuality mean
nothing, some suggest that he
doesn't earn his indemnity. As a
matter of fact, a legislator's hard-
est and most continuous work has
nothing to do with delivering perora-
tions about the Dear Old Flag. The
most effective work in the interests
of the people is done in committee
when the House is in session, and by
personal interview and correspond-
ence during the recess. A member
who has never risen .in his place to
address Mr. Speaker may be a bet-
ter mcinber•, so- far as looking after
his constituents is concerned, than
the wordiest member who ever bored
his colleagues.
•In these days the lot of a public
roan is a particularly hard one. His
telephone and doorbell rine inces-
santly. People want jobs, they want
favors, they want to complain. about
this and that, and there is more to
complain about than usual. His cor-
respondence is particularly heavy,
he must spend money on long dist-
ance and telegraph tolls to Toronto
and Ottawa, he must make trips to
and from hisconstitueney to the cap-
itals, all on his constituents' business.
All these things cost an actual cash
outlay, besides what he loses in his
business or practice by being absent
from it. Then, too, in recent months,
there has been a heavy drain on his
pocketltok imposed by constituents
in actual distress, who turn to their
member first. He must head every
charity list. It doesn't take long to
run through an indemnity at, that
pace.
No matter whether he be Con-
servative, Liberal, Labor, Independ-
ent or U.F.O., the average member
does his best for his people. If he is
not motivated by ideals' of public
service—as the vast majority are--
he
reshe gives service because he wants
the suffrage of his voters again.
These are things to pause and re •
fleet upon 'when inclined to abuse an
M. P. or an M. L. A.—London Free
Pres.
Make. Fanning Pap
The Pembroke Standard uttered a
world of truth when it said: •'It has
been more than evident for the past
few years that something has to be
done to place farming on its fen:.
And we are not to lose sight of the
fact that if the farmers become pros-
perous, then those engaged in all
other lines of industry and business
will share in this prosperity. Ac-
cordingly then, we want a m irket in
Great Britain for butter, cheese,
wheat, hogs, cattle, etc., and the big-
gest --thing- the Imperial Conference
can do for 'Canada is to start some-
thing which will make farming pay."
No one can foresee the outcome of
the Imperial Conference. It may end
in nothing, or worse than nothing, as
the last one 'did.' Dr, again, . it may
prove the deciding factor, which will
swing prosperity hack again.
,Certainly, regardless of politics,
that is the hope of every Canadiar..
At the same time we are hearing a
very great deal about the needs of
the manufacturing world; about dut-
ies and clumpings, and very, very lit
tie -about the needs of agriculture.
Duties and tariffs are all right in
their way, but Canada has gone -tar-
iff crazy in the past few years. The
cry used to be "Tariffs for Revenue
Only," but tariffs for revenue only
area thing of the past in 'Canada. It
is now tariffs for the individual only,
and.not one of those individuals re •
hide on the side concessions.
What the farmer wants `and needs
is a market,, and where is there a
more, reasonable .place for him to look
for one than in Great ,Britain, or
-other Empire countries?
Mr, Bennett and his government
aright do far worse things than for-
getting all about tariffs for a while;
by opening the Imperial Conference
with a program aimed at the needs
of agriculture, and closing with that
subject too, because prosperity has
got .to come to the farm first, before
it can come to the rest of Canada.
Don Do It.
The practise of hiring• trucks to
convey picni'dkers or passengers to
same celebration or other, has :been
found by people, especially in rural
sections, to be a very convenient and
cheap mode of transportation and has
been very generally followed.
But the next time there • is to be
a picnic or a celebration, and you
figure on using trucks for busses,
don't do it, that's all.
And don't do it 'because` the On-
tario Highway Department has put
m ban and a very strict one too, on
that mode of transportation.
Hereafter transportation for hire
of passengers. over the roads of the
Province is strictly limited to
vehicles licensed under the provis-
ions. of the Public Vehicles Act,
which calls for the use of a suitably
designed vehicle, maintained in pro-
per condition, driven by a properly
trained driver, and insured for the
protection of the passengers.
That to many in the country will
appear to be a pretty drastic ruling;
because busses are not picked up on
the concessions as they are on city
streets, and to hire one from the larg.
er centres, would make the cost pro-
izibitive.
But the law is the law, and this
Act was designed solely for the safe-
ty of the public, and it wouldn't pay
to bake a chance by trying to gat
round it.
Early warnings, it is said by the
Department, have failed to discour-
age the practise, so that now every
Infraction of the Act is to be vigor-
ously prosecuted.
There is to be just one exception.
And that is that the owner of a truck
niay take his own family to a 'picnic
or anywhere else in it, and may,
moreoivrer, take his friends ,top, pro
videcl� he makes no charge.
The 'latter, however, would not be
rn altogether safe move, no matter
how Isindly the intention of the truck
• ownet might 'be, as in ease of ac i-
rlent, he would lay himself open for
a anzi:t of dama'gesi, or a dozen suelz,
;e iy of hf 'pas'seng+ers happened
crto be inattred.•

per reunion, held at Stratford Park
