Parliament Prorogues
•
The Dominion Parliament pro-
rogued on Tuesday of this week af-
ter a session lasting since the middle
of January.
Although the session has been
long, as sessions go, it has been no-
ticeably free of disturbance, which,
perhaps,_ from the' general public's
view, did not add to its interest.
Therehas been; however,much im-
portant legislation passed, although.
the fruits of this parliamentary wis-
dom are still to be tasted and judged.
It is really amazing what members
of parliament can do when they get
down to doing it. ' Less than a month
ago the legislative agenda looked
sufficient to keep parliament in ses-
sion all summer, if not longer. And
now 'they are, through.
How do they do it?' Well, the
;weather 'man helps a lot. There are
many cooler places in the world than
Ottawa during the summer months.
And there are few hotter.
So much so, in fact, that we be-
lieve the sessions would be noticeably
shorter if they . started in June in-
stead of January. But then there is
always so much to say and s� many
to say it, and all that takes time, ev-
en when it doesn't make 's'en'se.
And Ottawa is expensive as Well as
hot, so there comes a time when. talk
palls, and home calls. Parliament is
over for this year.,

Mr. Roebuck on the School
Question
In Ari address delivered before .the
Liberal Associations of Huron, at
Hensall last "week, Hon. A. W. Roe;
buck;. the Provincial Attorney -Gen-
eral„ spoke at some length on the
much discussed school legislation
passed at the last session of the Leg-
islature, giving for the first time the'
Liberal Government's • viewpoint of
thatlegislation, and, at the same
time providing much food f o r
thought' on the part of the people of
Ontario.
Both the Conservative and Liberal
parties are agreed that Separate':
Schools are as much a part of the ed-
ucational system of Ontario as are
public schools, and as such are en-
titled to the .support of provincial
funds for the carrying -out of the ed-
ucation in these schools.
Both parties' are further agreed
that through . the trend of modern
business methods from individual to
company and corporation holdings,
separate schools have been deprived
of a great deal . of the support that
they should have received and which
the Act of Confederation clearly in-
tended to bestow upon them.
As evidence of this, . the Liberal
government in 'Ontario in 1886 ex-
tended the Confederation principle
that property owned by . separate
- school supporters • where separate
schools were in operation, should .be
- taxed for separate school purposes,'
to include property made through in-
vestment in companies as well as by
individual holdings.
Unfortunately, while the.intention
sof the government at this time was
clear, the wording.: of the Act left
much to be desired, in as much• as it
left the allotment of taxes at the op-
tion of the directorates of the com-
panies. ' And it was to remedy this
optional clause that the legi'slation
of the 1936 Legislature was passed.
That was the remedy the Liberal
--partly applied to right a recogniz-
elinnfairness in the division of school
tale's. '' And, as Mr. Roebuck said : -
-'"lLi'bal policy is one of common.
Flrtesty, ublicly declared, and open-
' 'rrie out."

ent polieyof proportioning the school
taxes,
In 1930 the Conservave Govern-
ment of iVir. Henry amended the Ed-
ucatiqg Aot by inserting a clause
which gave the Minister of Eduea4
tion power to apportion public school
monies between .public and separate
schools upon any basis on which he
might choose, having .no regard,
whatsoever, to school attendance, as
provided and provided alone, -by the.
Act .of Confederation.
Under this amendment the Gon-
servative Government, immediately
in the following year, proceeded to
increase the grants to separate
schools by fifty per cent., while the
public school's had to be satisfied
with an increased grant.of three and
a third per cent.,
Mr. Henry continued, in the- fol-
lowing years, to proportion t h e
school grants as it pleased him and,
by the year 1934 he had willed that
the separate school grants be in-
creased' by over $200,000, while the
`'same will decreed the public school
grants shad be decreased by con-
siderably over $500,000.
The figures, as given by Mr. Roe--
buck,
oe-buck, follow:
Provincial School Grants

Pei Per
Year Total , .Pupil Total PupiS
1929 $3,664,620 $9.49 ' $365,974 $4.88

Deer.
$541,805 $2.015 Incr. $206,735 $1.32
Under this method of distribution,
as carried .out by the Conservative
Government, the grants to separate
schools were increased by $1.32per
pupil, while the grants to public
schools were decreased by $2.05 per
pupil. -
As we said, both political parties
are agreed that separate schools,- as ..
a part of the national system of ed-
ucation, are entitled to a share of
the taxes collected- .for school 'pur-
poses,..:the .difference of opinion lying
in the manner in which that distri-
bution shall be made. -
The Conservative policy ,is, and
has been, to meet the needs of the
separate schools by increasing their ..
grants, such increases' tobe made
out of provincial taxes, regardless of
the fact of whether they are contri-
buted by :separate or public . school
supporters, or both.
Such a policy means, in effect, that
the people in the rural districts,
where there are few or no separate
schools, will be taxed for • the sup-
. port of these schools in the towns
and cities,where practically . all of , ..
them are situated.
On the other hand, the ..Liberal
policy, as outlined in the legislation
of 1936, provides that the necessary
....money forseparate'. schools shall 'be
raised by taxing the property of
separate school supporters, whether
that property be individual or
vestment in companies, in the com-
i ;unity—country, town or .city -=,-in
which: that school is stivated. And
in taxing no one else, and in on other.
place.
WHAT •OTHER PAPERS SAY:
•
Would Starve Without the Reaper.
(From the St. Thomas Times -Journal)
Cyrus Heal1 :McCormick, who •d'ued at Chicago a
few daye ago at the 'eege' of 77, was the son of
the man of that name who invented the reaping
erlva'ehine in 1831. He inherited a prosperous busi-
,nes's in 1884, aivd in 1902, through the co-o!pera-
tion of the J. hP: Morgan Company, he formed the.
Internrational Har'ves'ter lOormaany, a cons'ol'ida-
tion of • Several farm implement manufacturers,
which to -day has a capital of. $350,0000,000 'and
does a $35400,0010 a year business. His parents
were simple People and he inherited their ways
despite the vast wealth he atta!irued. Hris father
taught him to be self-reliant, ma;n'd to believe that
even, if he lost mioney as the result of toil the
experience of working far ib . was more valuable ,
than the money itself. -
' City `people never s1ppause to: think what farm
machinery means to them, but without the reaper
and its associate implements, the world would
actually starve. 'sdffidiient wheat co•udd neither be
grown nor harvhested to meet the barest needs of
the present vast population. Machinery is just
