Had Never Seen Rain •
The Ottawa Journal says that •out
in Sa,skatchewan they are telling of
a :child of three years of age, who
'had never seen rain until the'other
day. .1When the downpour opened,
she told, her father someone was
throwing water on her.
!When one lootks about this part of
Ontario, that is a pretty hard state-
ment te believe. But, nevertheless,
it is undoubtedly true.
There are parts o southern Sas-
katehewein Where there has been no
rainfall for over three years, and yet
the settlers in those districts have
held on, undergoing' privations that
would halve daunted our Ontario
pioneer% who surely knew what
privation meant.
PeoPle in Western Ontario can not
conceive of what rain means to the
people of those drouth stricken ar-
eas. It means not only a land .re
stored to fertility, but a wonderful
dream come true. Almost life itself.
'We, in Ontario, are apt to grumble
if the rain does not fall at the right
hour, on the right day of the weak.
We gruireble at a little dust.
Take a long look at the country in
your district to -day and then con-
ceive, if you can, what the view
:would be like if there had been no
rain for three 'year, or even three
months. " •-• •
IHave we much to complain of?
Have we even hard, times?

It Cost EnOugh Now
Hon, J. D. Monteith, Minister of
PliblieWerks and 'Labor, has made
the announcement that the Ontario
, Government has under censideration.-
the advisability ofchanging the pres-
ent system of unemployment relief.
Instead ef direct relief, as at pres-
ent, the Government in contemplating
• a programme embracing ,eimployinent
of men on P'ublic construction works
at nominal wages.
Most taxpayerswill agree that un-
erripleyment relief 'is costing enough'
tow, without changing the order of
giving.
Anyplan of public coastruction
Work wOuld necessarily have to be
on a very largs scale, if the building
operations were to absorb all the un-
employed.
If the Ontario Government has any
such' plan in mind, it is clearly evi-
dent that the powers that he in To-
ronto, do not know what the word
depression means, nor have they,
personally. been affected , by hard
times.
It is a very different story with
the tax -payers who sepply the money
with whi•Ji the Gov.:eminent has
been spending sr) lavishly during the
past few years in order to make good
fellows of thee:selves.
This Pre% lnce had a sample of
what relief C;,;t1-tructon cost two
years ago, in the form rr the trans-
roe-tine:Pal highe•ay, whish was sup-
posed to he a relief measure..
It was a relief measure all eight.
Jt breught'great relief and solid corn-
-
free to an army of Government eon-
tractose ani inside friends ef the
Government. but it scarcely touched
! the fringe of the unemployed, and
even to them the benefits were nil.
It is a well known fact that out of
every ten dollars the people pet up
to give unemployed men work on this
high -way, the contractors and others
got nine dollars and fifty cents, and
the unemployed men the remaining
half dollar.
The people of the coun,try, as. a
whole, are 'not callous minded to-
wards the unemployed and those in
distress. That is a fact that" has
been demon'strated over and over
again during the past two years.
At the same time, the average man
has had to sacrifice himself; to a
greater or lesser extent, to carry on
uneenployment relief. To him fifty
cents is fifty cents. He cap not af-
ford, nor does he again intend to
put up ten dollars, even if he has it,
to play Santa Claus to those who are
much better able to aid the cause of
unemployment than he.
Mr. Average Citizen is pretty n'ueh
under the impression, too, that what
the country is now suffering from is
!too traueli 'Oolverimient conatruiction
work, not too little. -
That if the Government had not
theens keen to play Santa Claus
'er'ith other people's money •in the
/Met few years, the burden of taxa -
titin will' not be what it is to -d,
