All the ratepayers want, in the Township of Mullett and tthe, county as a whole, is British fair play and equal rights. At the opening of this session of the Legislature in Toronto the Speech from the Throne said that the Government was going to bring in a measure that the county councils had to appoint three commissioners who belonged to the county to equal- ize the valuation of the county. There Have been valuations made in some counties away down east in Ontario that have been made by these same outside men, 'which have entail ed a lot of expense to these counties by way of appeals. I' claim that if the assessor in the Towusth4p of Mul- lett would assess the township and put it on the roll aceording to Messes. Mogg and Quinrlan's valuation, there would lye lots of appeals, and, our rate- payers 'would soon start the fireworks flying all over the township. So my advice would be to the coun- ty council 'at the June session, when the county council .meets, to throw the report out altogether, because I am sure that will save a lot of ex- pense and litigation and save the rate- payers a lot of money. As you all know, the ratepayers have a hard time to make ,up the taxes without throw- ing any money away. However, it would seem that the councillors are trying to keep everything in the dark from the ratepayers. Now I have nothing more to say in the press, but I will meet Mr. Mogg 'and Mr. Quinlan and any Reeve that was going around • valuating with them, any day they wish at the Oom- mundty Hall at Londesborot and not behind closed deers either—right in the open public so that the ratepayers will be able to see wthere they are at.

CANADIAN HOUSEWIVES i• thS`zai'rl.;^r'.'*isA1 ytraC ..Wd' lrstu"n''1 In Ottawa Monday, March 27 For the next Drop year, startling August 1, 1939, Western, wheat grow ers will be, rend a guaranteed initial price of (lb cents per bushel for No 1 Northern at Fort William. This information was given the House to- day by the Minister of Trade and Commerce. Other amendments will he made to 'the Canada Grain Act ; other changes in legislation are also to be dnteodsuced dealing with the whole western problem. At the opening of the day's sitting, the Prime Minister• gave some Intl minion of *the Legislation that is still to be brought down during 'this ses- sion. It is quids evident that the sea- sten easten is not to be a short one. The Easter recess will be trona April 6th to April 11th.. The afternoon was spent on further consideration of the Trade Agreement items. There" was some interesting information given the House regar4- ing the whole problem of our trade. Soros of the Conservative members launched a very bitter attack oil the reduction of tariffs on certain wp•oilen goods and textiles" of various 'kihds'. They. claimed that as a result of ire portatione, many here were idle. The Finance Minister was skeptical re- garding these statements, as well he might. be. On one line oomplained of, the total Canadian production was ov- er $17,000,000 and the importation, on- ly amounted to $30,000. Another' it- tem ttem was that the Canadian produc- tion was ,nearly 9,000,000, the iniipor- tation was• $650,000 from the United Kingdom and $80,000 from the United States. On •still another line the Can- adian production about $18,040,000 and the importation $265,000. A lengthy 'discussio'n also took place on coal.At six o'clock the committee arose and reported progress. The ev- ening session was devoted to the Min- ister of Pensioner Bill, which widens the scope of the We.r Veterans Wi- dews' Pension: * * * Tdesday, March 28 It was intended to go on with gov- ernment business today, but Mr.'J, J. Kfnley (Lib., L unenberg) took advant- age of the rule and launched a de- bate on tbe fishing situation in his province that lasted all afternoon. This debate is an annual event, as the trawler lioendes are granted on April 1st each year. There is strong opposition, to the trawlers operating at all in the waters off the coast of those Eastern Provinces. There is, of course, two sides to the argument. It is claimed that the trawler fishes away beyond the area covered by the inshore fisherman. It is claimed this arrangement fully pro- tects the inshore fisherman. It is al- so claimed' that if Canadian trawlers did not operate, America or any other country could, and do, have trawlers operating. There is a definite divi- sion of opinion but one can very eas- ily see that politics enter the contro- versy to too large an extent. The House listened to the eastern fisheries dispute all afternoon. Then from 8 to 9 the British Columbia mere - bees aired their views on problems out there, also with a definite division of opinion. From 9 to 11 p.m. tbe House con- sidered further items in the trade agreement and pretty well cleaned up that part of the bill before the House. It is expected that on Thursday there will be a full-dress debate on foreign affairs. 'Po indicate tee dif- ficulties of governing this country we have the Ontario Government passing a resolution asking for the conscrip- tion of wealth and man power, and in Quebec the students are storming the Legislatures protesting against con- scription. What good purpose is go- ing'to be served by prematurely stir- ring up this trouble is hard to under- stand. Even Britain has not resorted to measures of this kind, and is cer- tainly' reluctant to do so. Should war come, action would have to be taken, and it would be much easier to handle the problem then than by getting the country fighting each other before such a crisis arises. * * * Wednesday, March 29 After weeks of discussion and af- ter every item in the new tradeagree- ment had been thoroughly discussed, the vote was taken on second, read- ing of the 13111 today. The vote show- ed every Liberal and Indepen4!ent. in the House voting for the bill, while the Consiervatives mustered 32 votes against. Tie s clears the decks as far as the trade agreementwis concerned. The House then turned its atten- tion to the bill of the Defence Minis- ter, namely the Purchasing Board. The whole afternoon was spent on this bill with some heated arguments taking place at times. Grant MacNeil, who seems to spend his time searching for some indirect charges to hurl at the Minister, to- day brought to the attention of the House an article written. by some on. in the Winnipeg Free Press, which 1 volved the honor and integrity of the Minister and his department. The Minister of Finance saw delib- erate attemrpts being made to sabot- age public confidence. In this article the charge was made that some on'e in Montreal was reaping huge profits act- ing as agent for the British Govern- ment. The Minister of Finance stat- ed this 'agency had represented the British firms since 1928 and asked what business it was of Canada's as to who was selected by British firms to represent them in •this, country; as a matter of fart they had such agen- cies in, all countries% A great 'deal of time was spent dis- cussing the 5 per cent. profit on con- tracts and most of the taiking was done by those who never ha:d a con- tent and do not karow anything at all about production work. 'The House made some progress with the Bill, but it was very little om'orrow there will bp a discussion on foreign affairs. 1WEJMA IituprovetJ Greatly When He 'Tarred Kruschen There bas just come to our notice a case of gland relief from severe rheumatic pains. The seriousness of the man's condition and the step that led to his ultimate recovery, are de- scribed in the following letter:— ".For several years I suffered from rtheumatisan. I had all my teeth out, and still suffered. A year ago I lay in hospital for fourteen weeks, almtost crippled. When I got homle T on. tinned to take medicine, but began to go down again. A" friend of mine ask- ed me to try Igrusehen Salts, and I era vec-yd pleased to be able to say 'I have -been on the mend ever since." --tli-P. Two of the salts in Kruschen are the most effectual solvents of uric add known to medical science. They swiftly doll the Tharp .edges of the crystals --the cause of pain aivd stiff- nese—and often convert them into a harmless solution, which is then ex- pelled through the natural channels. VARNA (Intended for last week) We are pleased to report that the epidemic of flu has pretty well clear- ed away. The many friends of 141r. A. Mc- Connell will be sorry to know that af- ter getting on the roof to clean the chimney the ladder slipped as he was coming down and Mr. McConnell had a very close call from a more ser- ious accident. As it was he is suf- fering with a sore back and bruised chest. We are sorry to report the very painful accident which (happened Elm- er Hayter. While sawing wood he was struck on the eye by a stick. Wilitile 'his sight is not destroyed, it will be some time before the wound is healed.
