On Jhe 'Land-: Farmers are on the land again, but notNall. Just a few here and -there, but it is the start of the farm- ers' annual gamble. And it is a late start as springs �„z e reckoned in this county. In fact, it will` be the end of -this week or per- haps next before seeding is general, and that means close to the first of May. But there have been other late springs, we learn from our old-tim- ers. Far later than this in fact, and no one _suffered very much. We hope we don't this year. We hope tha seed will go into a good bed. We hope the weather will be fa,vorable, the rains warm and plentiful,- and . the sun, will shine when it is *most -.-.needed. We hope the •crpps will' be bountiful ones. ' But most of all,' we -hope that prices will be good, so that the farm- er will come into his own again. He has''been living on the raw edge of nothing for so Tong, we hope every good thing for him. The Dominion Parliament The sittings of the Dominion 'Par- liament were resumed on Monday after the Easter recess, and, judg- ing from the legislation still to come before the House, the members will have to get down to real,work if they are going to finish ' before mid -sum mer. s Chief among the ' legislation,,. still' to come will be, of course the ,bud- get, which it is . expected will be .. brought down in May. ; Mr. `Dun - vin_ g's._ last budget was brought down iii M'ay,'1.930, and the Canadian peo- • ple have, not yet forgotten : it, al- -' though there are a majority of peo- ple on this continent who would Iike to' forget what they did to it. • What--. Mr,; • Dunnitlg's budget will.. contain this year is as yet a secret to himself, and let it be said, he is a man who is noted for keeping his own council. It is believed, However, in so far as actual business is concerned; it will. show .a decided improvement over the previous year, and that current revenue will cover expenditures, if not a little more. But then there is the money spent on unemployment relief, on the rail- ways and other things • that have to be considered, and which for a long time to come are scarcely likely to - make for a balanced budget," or any reduction of public debt. About the only relief the Canadian taxpayer' can look for in the budget is a reduction in tariffs which will make the necessities, of life a little -�-- cheaper to- the ordinary man on the street • and in the country, even if such, a reduction does play hob with the • profits of some off, the manufac- turers.. '•-,Parliament has now been -"in ses- sion three months, but to date the flow of business has accomplished little against the tide of words. Vain repetition and, meaningless words at that. • May we ,hope for something bet- ter during the` next three months? Or could the members of parliament -make' it two months, or even one, -without any injury to the country's business or welfare? •. Why All The Fuss? Shortly before Easter when the 'Hepburn Government's amendment irr''. •the ;Assessment Act as -affecting School taxes came to a vote in the ore three. •�gis�att , ( Members of the ,,rfb ralparty voted against the Gov - en, this action of the "bolt. rhy' are ,conicronly Called, eof We'spl sad dim „i 9-.. U 'EXPOSITOR"' 'A!. cussion,. particularly in th0 daily papers, where editorial comment has been profuse and pointed, and where there have been many contributions on the subject made—by newsp,a-per' reader"s=on both sides of politics;N Why all the fuss? Primarily, of 'course, to make political capital. Ne stone is ever' left unturned towards:' that. end. But frankly; is not the action of the "bolters" solely a mat- ter of concern between the members themselves and their constituents!? Text to that is it not' a matter of Oncern between the' members and the leader they were elected to sup- port? We have read a great deal about the conscientious scruples of these members, which prevented them from supporting their party. About their bravery and their independence too.. ' And to a large .extent, we be- lieve, some of these claims are true.., At the same . time, oiie should not lose slight: of the fact thateach one of"these members was elected to the Legislature by their constituents, to support the policy of Mr. Hepburn. Had they been supporters of any other leader or party then, they would undoubtedly have been de- feated. There is no room for argu- ment there. Have . the opinions of the constitu- ents of these three ridings changed since election, time, or is it merely the opinions of the members who have changed? There is, of course, a possibility that there has been a change 'of opinion on both 'sides. But if that is so, we haveyet to . hear . or read of an occasion in any one 6f the ridings where the constituents made a public declaration of such .a change in opinion When a member of the Legisla- ture votes against his party there is a reason. If that reason is the de- mand of his constituents, it is a good reason. If the Member does it on his own, or because he has a personal axe to grind, then 'the reason is ,not .just quite so good. There is no doubt that these mem- • bers were voting under the pressure of some of their . constituents.. But did any one of them call a meeting of their Riding Executive or . a public meeting of their constituents to get a majority opinion on a question of policy?. If not, . why not? Did they believe they were better qualified to judge of what was best for their rid- ing than did the constituents that compose it? A member.; of the .Legislature has to assuxrie responsibility, otherwise his usefulness would be nil. But there' are a good many- members af- ter they are once elected, whose chief development runs to ego rather than brains, or even common sense. They think of themselves first as M.P.P,'s. The fact that they are just the -serv- ants of their constituents isapt to be forgotten, or if there is such a thought, it runs a very bad second. At this distance we do not know the mind of the constituentOn constituentthe three ridings on th attitude of their members on the assessment Mote,. -but we will• knoW after the next election, if not befere. In the mewtime,' we take it that the whole 'matter is pret- ty much their own business to settle as they please. • Europe Is Disturbed That the situation in Europe is disturbing, is not hard to see evena„t• this distance. Italy is still ove'- running Ethiopia. Indeed the latter country would now appear to/be at Italy's mercy, to do with as • she pleases. - And as lonig.as the Italian success- es continue, Mussolini will continue his defiance to the League of Nations and any sanction's which the League may employ against his country. In fact, it would appear as if the League of Nations was rapidly los- ing its „authority in Europe, if, ac - it ever had any. rkey has followed the example of Germany, Italy and Japan, in treating the Lausanne Treaty as a scrap of paper, and is again occupy ing and fortifying, the Dardanelles. And just so long 'as 'European na- tions believe solemn treaties are made simply to be broken, just so long will there be no guarantee or even hope of peace in the world. It would appear as if economic and financial Sanctions, which alone the League of Nations are empowered to iise, were not, enough, • anduntil: the rIty,Papeysf A Small Fire The firemen were 'called out Sun- day afternoon to the Jervis Hatchery, 'ifiattenbury Street, east, . smoke hay= big been §teen issuing frown the 'build- ing.

It is the story of a man who forgot to in- vie'et lin ch'ariiity till it was too bite. The rich ndan's life is pictured be- fore our' eyes, with all its indulgence and ostentation.
