HURON CANDIDATE SPEAKS IN LONDON AT BIG MEETING R. J. Deachman, Liberal Candidate, Assails Ben- nett Tariff Policy.. TARIFF AUTHORITY trade and movement of good's so that the Canadian railways have suffered. +Startling figures on the .reduction in indv;strial production and decrease in wages earned in the city of Lon- don siee 1930 when the Bennett Gov- ernment came into power were quot- ed by R. J. Deachman, Liberal can- didate in the Federal riding of North Huron at a well -attended and en- thusiastic meeting held in• Hyman Hall, London, Wednesday -night in the interests of G. A. P. Brickenden, Liberal candidate for the city rid- rrg. ,,,... rIn 1930 industrial production in the city was valued at $4 ,400,000 and in 1933, the last year for which fig- ures are available it had dropped to $29,400,000.. The wage. bill decreas- ed front $11,000,000 to ..$7,60.0,000 at the same time in that•.city under the impact of Bennett policies, stated Mr. Deachman. tMr,• Deachman and Me. 'Bricken- den 'were the speakers of the even- ing and both condemned the Bennett Government for its high tariff poli- cies which have restricted and de- creased Canadian foreign and do- mestic trade. Mr. Deachman is a noted economist and authority on the tariff question and in his address he presented a brilliant analysis of Can- adian trade figures for the .past five years. Apostles of Restriction Labelling both.. Mr. Bennett and 11. H. 'Stevens as "apostles of restric- tion," Mr. •Deachman asserted that tariff barriers have riot only restrict- ed import trade but export as well. This has been reflected in domestic In 1933 and 1934 the earnings of Canadian rail workers have dropped more than $100,000,000 from . the earnings in 1930, Mr; Deachman pointed out and asiked if the "rail- way' employees in London are likely to overlook that fact when the next election comes." In 1930 wages paid in Canada would have paid the entirecost of Govern- ment with some $330,000,000 left ov- er. In 1935 the total wages would not even pay the coat of the Federal Government, said Mr. Deachman. • Insures 50 Years WithSameCompany INA. J.

CONSIDER DRAINS AT COUNCIL METING Tuckersmith Council Adopts Engineer's Report on Sinclair Drain. The Council of the Township of Tuckersmith rnet in the Town Hall, Seaforth, on Saturday. The Reeve presided, and members all present. The minutes of -last meeting were read and adopted on a notion by McKay and Gemmell. The 'report of Engineer S. W, Arch- ibald on the 'Sinclair Drain was read and an opportunity .given the inter- ested parities present to express to the council any objections to the matter as contained in the report and suggestions as to the manner of 1 payment for the work. f tMeKay-Whitmore: That the re- 1 pori of the Engineer on the Sinclair Drain be provisionally adopted and t the Clerk prepare a bylaw to pro- t vide for the work and for the bor- t rowing of $2,700 to complete the same, payable in 10 years at 4 per cent. per annum, and Saturday, Aug. 24th, at 4 o'clock be set for holding the Court of Revision, also the Clerk write the Municipal Board for auth- ority to issue debentures as contain„ ed in the bylaw. DISCUSS MINIMUM TEACHERS' SALARIES Public School ,Inspectors of this district, speaking at the enquiry into the cost .of education being i onduct- ed by Dr. Duncan McArthur, Deputy Minister of Education, were in favor of, the closing of certain schools with small attendances. The committee sat in Stratford on Monday and took evidence from a large number of persons interested in education. Dr. McArthur asked a number of those who were called, about the new •ruling orf the Department of Educa- tion which had set the minimum sal- ary for sehbol teachers at $500. He wanted to knowthe reaction the rul- ing had had generally speaking with the Hiring of teachers for the forth- coning terms. Some said that the ruling had tended to send salaries war tothe min- imum because trustees who`had been hiring teachers under $500 had to live up to the new regulation. However, on the other hand, there was information before the committee from more than one source that teachers were being paid $500 in schools„ where ftlhe, former teacher had received as high as $800. It was taking advantage of the minimur salary o.ff $500, claimed one Waterloo man who appeared before the com- mittee and said quite frankly that he did not think the new ruling was hav- ing the desired effect, as far, as he Doul} see. The advocation of town- ship school boards was another mat- ter which received considerable prom- inence throughout the discussions'. Reeve Nagle Speaks • Reeve Joseph. 'Nagle, of Hibbert Township, said it was unfair for the manner in which money is collected to Ipay for eaterlty pupils. " e are charged $145 in Hibbert per pupil and while Downie Town- ship in Perth, • near Stratford, is charged :half of the cost of edtscat- ng a 'pupal. That sum is accounted or by the fact that Downie has a arge number of county pupils," said Reeve Nagle. His "contention was hat the levy should be through the ownship and not through the coun- y. "We are buying education at wholesale prices from these towns and cities. They sell it at $45, half price to one tawns•hilp and penalize us by selling it to us at $145 per pupil," said Reeve Nagle. Pupils should be at 'home hel'pin'g their parents -on the farm, said Reeve (Continued on Page 4) Bell-Gennnell: That in answer .to a petition signed by H. Parker and S. 'Mitchell, and others, praying for a drain to be constructed, the En- gineer be instructed ,to, examine the area described in the petitioh and re- port there on to the council„ dt as early a date as possible. McKay -{Whitmore: That the as'- sessment for lands and roads in the Township of Tuckersmith concerned in the Kinburn Swamp Drain, $102.50, be paid. 'Gemmell -McKay: That R.

PRACTISED ., HERE High honor of an unique nature has been bestowed upon Dr. W. J. R. Fowler, of Guelph, who has been ap- pointed iby the French Government Chevalier Du Merite Agricole de France, according to, a recent 'des- patch in the Guelph Mercury. Dr. Fowler is a native of Hullett Township and practised in Seaforth for a number of years. . Dr. Fowler received a communica- tion from M. J. Cafsez, French Min- ister of Agriculture,. informing him of his new distinction. The letter said in part: "I am happy to inform you that I have appointed you a Chevalier du Merite Agricole de Tranee.• I am happy to grant you this dinstinction for your splendid work on behalf of agriculture," ' The honor was completely unex- pected, and came as & great surprise to Dr. Fowler, who is recognized as one of the cleverest 'veterinary sur- geons in his field. Two years suc- cessively, he was called, to England to operate on some of the finest hors- es bred in the world, and on other oc- casions he has been invited to assist as an expert technician at various points. Have Seen His Work French veterinary scientists have been present on occasions when Dr. Fowler has performed his operations and it presumed that they have re- ported to their Government the work Which the is doing. Friday, Dr. Fowler received an invitation to be present as guest of honor at a dinner! to be given in re- cognition of his work by the Eastern Canada Veterinary Association. One of the outstanding figures in his profession on the continent, Dr. Fowler has also gained faiag as a judge of horses. Himself a breeder of fine animals; he is in demand in all 'sections of the country for work of this class. To G+uelphites, it is of particular interest to recall that the growth of the horse show in connec- tion with the Ontario Provincial Win- ter Fair is particularly due to Dr. Fowler's work. • Golfers Enjoy Two Ball Foursome An interesting two -ball foursome was enjoyed by members of the Sea - f rth Golf and Country Club on Wed- nesday !afternoon.
