day. Drifting snowrduced visibil-
it, to a few feet; often not .beyond

I South of us, in • the London dis-

worse. At Crumlin, five miles, east
��r. of London, three hundred motorists

a)l„ At times the wind blew a a rate,
r of over forty miles an .hour, and all
,� day the thermometer kept dropping

Motor travel, where there was any,
`g`? was a mere crawl, but in spite of the

TMIlettoirlie he ubject- under discussion
subject-
not.be in.the best
interests ,.,Of . the community, and
jidght, in fact, do it a good ,deal of
harm: At such times it.. is the com-
=on practise to ask the 'press to ov- s,
erlook this item in its published re-
port. And let it be said here, on n'o
such, occasion have ' we ever known
the press to disregard such 'a re-
quest, even' when some councillors G
have not been so reticent. el
But if there is any subject ,under W
the sun that is of more vital interest P
and importance' to,, every individual sl
taxpayer in the county, than is that N
k of the equalization of the county as- 11
sessment, we would -like to know I
what it is. e
t
Or, if there was ever a time when
, a
the members of the council should
speak out, and what they had to, say
should be fully reported, we would
like to know (and so would their con- t
stituents) when that time was. And
, the place to do it was at the county
council session.
Pussy -footing around such an im-
portant subject as the equalization is
not good business for the township,
the village or the town, and if the
councillors themselves do not fully
realize it, we believe there is a ma-
jority of their constituents who do.

The Srpstem of Emplorping
Ronal .Commissions
The system of employing Royal
Com,missions to investigate charges
against Governments, Government
Departments and other things, which
the -Governments of the moment
think might cause a loss of prestige,
if they were investigated by them-
selves, is not a new thing for Can-
ada.
Unfortunately for the Dominion;
however, or rather the taxpayers of
this; Dominion, the system seems to .
be on the increase. The most recent
one was the Royal Commission head-
ed -by Mr. Justice • Davis, to investi-
gate the Bren Machine Gun charges,
instigated by Col. Drew, the new
leader of the Ontario Conservative
party. Referring to Mr. Justice Davis's
report, which was recently tabled in
the House of Commons, the Toronto
Saturday Night says: "The real es-
sence of the report is in three .sen-
tences." And these are the three sen-
tences which that paper quotes: "It
will be for those charged with the
responsibility to examine and, study
(the facts reported) and to take such
action, e'tc." ; and' "I am unable to
• pass upon the substance, as distinct
from the form, of the contract," and
"That is a question upon which the
Government and Parliament must
pass judgment."
Suming up these three sentences,
which Saturday Night contends are
the real meat in the - report, that
paper goes on to ,say: "In plain
words, the business of governing this
country, and the business of admin-
istering this country, and the busi-
ness of devising methods and regula-
tion for doing so, belong to Parlia-
ment, a{id Parliament has no right
to fob it off on members, of the Su-.
preme Court."
A little harsh, perhaps, but how
true and pithily put are those
words. Royal 'Commissions have
cosh this country many millions of
dollars over not too lengthy a term
of years. That in itself is a serious
matter to the Canadian taxpayer,
but what is even, worse is the fact
that Royal Commissions have be-
comeso common as to be a by -word
. and somewhat of a.laughing-Jstock
among the electors.
It may be good politics to foist ev-
ery ticklish political question on to
the shoulders of a commission, but
it is not good government, and some,
if not a good deal, of the present dis-
content one hears so much about in
the country against our parlia-
mentary system, undoubtedly has its
source in this practise.
Memi)ers of Parliament are not
overworked; neither are they over-
paid, but much of the time of the av-
erage session, which is now spent ill
filling'the ,columns of Hansard with,
their own glory, might be spent much
more profitably, if it was used in
serious thought and constructive dem
bate on subjects which constitute our
present national problems. �: I '
