Lind Values
For the third year in succession,
average values of occupied farm lands
In Canada are estimated at $24 per
acre. Farm 'land valueshave been
declining since 1928 when, they were
reported at $38 per acre. A low point
of $28 per acre was reached in 1934
and an increase of $24 occurred in
035 since whenthe valnea have re-
thained at .that figure.

questions asked were, to say the
least, rather obscure: It was pointed
out that Canada would !have to make

lent has been airaplified .by the Bri-
tish Government placing an order for
5,000, which willmaterially reduce
the cost. The two Governments are
sharing the cost of the -necessary
equipment.
It would appear that the problem of
what to do' with recent legislation
passed by' the Alberta Government is
a serious one, and will shave far-reach-
ing effects no.matter what the deci-
sion, It is quite evident that the
deArtite .promise .given that no one
would be injured by Social Credit pol-
icies is entirely forgotten in the lat-
est legislation.

Tuesday, May 17th
• Whiie the House of Commons was
diligently spending its time plodding
through the agricultural estimates,
there was considerable stir and
alarra being exifibited in the Senate.
Senator Meighen is seriously alarm-
ed over the debt legislation in. Al-
berta, and contends that if drastic;
steps are not taken immediately to

clamp down on these proceedings, we
are through. Of course, what the
Senator has in mind is some Acts
passed at the, reeetvt sitting of the
Albert legislature.
First is the Home Owners' Secur-
ity Act (Bill No. 74). Under this Act
no mortgage creditor may foreclose
an an urban home, in city, town or
.village, without making a gift of
$2,000 to the' person whose home is
foreclosed. For 'example, if a man
purchased say a property worth- $2,-
000 on which he has paid perhaps $100
and declines to pay more, or says he
can't pay more, the mortgage cannot
be foreclosed for the $1,900 except
by paying $2,000 into court—this to
be paid over by the court to the deb-
tor if the foreclosure is granted. This
sound's incredible, but it is the Act.
Further:. 'Phis Act alio exempts
what is known as the "'home quarter
section" of any farm from foreclo-
sure—virtually carves it out of the
mortgage. Thus if One man farms a
auarter section (160 'acres) which he
bought for $3,000, paying $300 and
giving a mortgage for the $2,700, the
Act, in effect, makes him the out-
right owner of the 160 acres without
paying another single cent. If an-
athei man farms a whole. section or
I more, the 160 acres on which his farm
. buildings stand become exempt from
foreclosure. In other words, the best
and most valuable part of the mort-
gage's security is removed arbitrarily
from the mortgage and action perm-
anently barred.
The Security Tax Act (Bill No. 84)
This law imposes a tax of 2 per cent.
on the principal sum owing on the
mortgages. The tax is on the lender,
and notwithstanding any provision in
any mortgage to the contrary, it can-
not be imaged en to the mortgagor.
The tax is payable on June 1, 1938.
Failing payment by that date, a pen-
alty is provided of 5 per cent. per
month; 60 per cent. per year. In ad-
dition, all owners of mortgages -must
file returns by June 1, 1938, giving
elaborate particulars of the mortgages
held under penalty of a fine of $10
a day in- respeet of each mortgage.
What this means may be seen from
the fact that more than 20,000 Alber-
ta mortgages are owned by private
individuals, this altogether apart from
some 20,000 more held by Corpora-
tions, by Insurance Companies and
LOan Companies, the funda represent-
ing the small savings, and invatt-
meats of small estates of ordinary
people of philanthropic and charitable
Institutions.
The' Limitation Act, 1935, Amend-
ment Act, 1938, (Bill No. 115): In
the operation of this Act action to
realize on any debt incurred before
1936 must be taken before 1940. Thus
if a loan were made, or any debt in-
curred, secured or otherwise, prior to
1936, not maturing until say 1946, 'or
any time after mid -1940, the debt
would, be statute barred and extin-
guished by July 1, 1940.
The aim and effect efl'ie statute
is to force creditors to seek retie -Wats
before 1940 arrives, and if the debtor

Dr. Bruce, former Lieutenant Gov-

tion: "This is not merely reptidia-
Oen. it is stark confiscation."
Mon signor Michael Cline, noted

Thursday, May 19
Farmers' problems have been prom-
inent in Parliament al/ this week, Isi
one House or the other, and today it
was so in both of them.
In the Commons the agricultural
estimates were again touched up,
along with those for the harbors, and
in the Senate, Senator Meighen made
some luminous and rather caustic
comments on the Farmers' Creditors
Act and the way it bad worked out.
He claims the effect is the reverse of
the design.
The session goes on more or tetra
in a spirit of suspense. Rumor ap-
parently well-fouttded, !has it that we
will prorogue early 40 June, to come
back later to deal with this trade
agreements. Meanwhile it is the in-
tention to sit on Empire Day.
The Railway Committee is now at
its most interesting stage. The co-
operation end' of it was concluded
yesterday. It has been made abund-
antly clear what has happened, Ges-
tures, hav6 been made at co-operation
and same small 'Saving has been made

Sir Edward Beattie will be the wit-
ness next week. He will then, be giv-
en the chance to make a definite ex-
planation of his plan for unification.
He has been going through the coun-
try., telling what wonderful things
eau be done. Next *week he will be
on the spot'and will have to be dean-
ite.in his statements.
Minister of Transport, Hon. C. C.
Howe, an a brief statement while his
estimates were under consideration,
gave the Com.mittee some interesting
facts. The. Minister has endeavored
to run h's Department on business
principles. Last year he was bitter-
ly attacked regarding his Transport
BH}, especially in regard to the ap-
pointment of a Harbor Commission.
Tonight he said savings effected in
the management of seven principal
ports have amounted to $185,000,
which is $50„00(amore than the Whole
Iroad office expenses for 1937. Some
of those who vre oiSpostng the Mita
leiter hist year gave him praise to-
day for what had been accomplished.
