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.• Sank aretiotr. on the part of " the tC ig1iwa t 'I eparttirent may seem to :ti 1 'b+znre hardtihup,aztd unfairness,: ;t it Wald 'lid• ftit better to he on do it.
