Andthere are others. In private
life a county coimeillor, When, he hires
a man, does not consider it neces-
eary,to pay from three to five_ of. his
neighbors or friends to see that the
_work is flone. That would not be
good business.
It is not good business in county
affairs either, and it is about time
the p.eopleik back home were getting

At the December se,ssion. the Coun-

'a County" Clerk and a County Treas-

Ontario's $40,000,000 Loan
„ (q'orontto Daily Star.) • .
. !Premier Henry has been speaking
in defence of Ontario's recent loan.
But nothing he can say is likely. to
remove th,e impression that the prov-
ide sold its deAnt-uree too cheaply,
,and that taxpa s, is a remilt, will
have to bear an unnecessarily heavy'
burden for years -to come. -A -lean.
that w -as kept a secret Up within
a few days el the flo.tation,. and. was
"then. snapped up in a few hours' time
was obviotisly a greater bargain than
the province need- have offered. •
It was offered under curious cir-
cumistances. On Saturday, January
lath, An announcement appeared in
the press that the go,vernment would
float a .$40„0400,000 loan the fellow-
ing week. 'Immediately there came a
declaration from Queen's Park that
this information had 9ealied -eutv
and that the government had not in-
tended to the -fact be." known so
,soon. "The loan, as ,a Matter of fact,
was offered to the public a couple
of' days later, on Monday, January 15,,
and was -all sold by three o'clock that
afternoon. •
, The • goverrintent advertised. it lib-
erally in the weekly papers of the
province which -appeared many days
after the loan was .completely taken,
There can be no objection to this ad-
vertising; but it should have appear-
-ed before the loan was offered, and
the loan should have been floated at
a figure which would require some
effort and. Some advertiAng to sell
it. As it was, the curious spectacle
was afforded4of governanent keep-
ing its fl,otatzion secret, but- offering
such a bargain to investors,:that it
was all ta,keil in. a few hours, And
-then the ,goirernm•ent- adv-ertised it
after it was sold.
When the government does a thing
like thieLwhen itS' sells its deben-
tures for less , than they would nor-
mally bring ---there is no doilit great
joy ameng -the brokers, who. thus
have no dlifficulty in selling them', but
the already Overburdened taxpayer
is 'called. upon to paY the shot. The
Financial Pos,t, which is not ,a politi-
cal newspaper, says with respect tn.
the latest lean that "financial 'circles
agreed -practically unanimmisly that
the prices were lower than those pre-
vailing in the .open market by, as
much as a full point." It was a give-
away of the taxpayers' money. It
?was Henry's ;first financing as
acting treasurer, and he seems tO'
have made a 'Most unfortunate' .bar-
gain.
