NI. Bowman, chief oppo- sition critic, to puncture Mr. McGarry's surplus. The method of book-keeping adopted was complete reversal of the policy maintained by the present Govern- ment to keep entirely separate ordinary income and expenditure, as distinguished from capital income and expenditure. It was therefore with some difficulty that Mr. Bowman tried to convince the House that $1,500,000 of war expenditure off- setting a still larger item of receipts from the war tax, should be transferred to ordi- nary account and deducted from the sur- plus. It must be remembered that from the beginning the Government has consist- ently held to its proposal to apply "a11 revenue from the war tax to war purposes which leads to this method of distribution in the financial statement. I-Iowever, by this process Mr. Bowman reduced the $1,800,000 surplus to his own satisfaction to $300,000 and then proceed- ed to further reduce it by tacking on cur- rent expenditure $475,146 representing additions to public buildings. This ac- cording to his calculations naturally created a deficit and he began to pile that deficit up by treating as current instead of capital expenditure the money spent on Northern Ontario Development, amounting to $645,446, and $042,208 on highway improvement. While briefer in his remarks than usual Mr. Bowman was unable at any time to get through Mr. McGarry's guard. The Provincial Treasurer was not on the de- fensive for a moment, but was constantly parrying Mr. Bowman's arguments with the question, "How would you do it?", before long the opposition critic sought refuge behind the discredited method of accounting employed by the old Govern- ment The dowing dialogue is char- acteristic of the whole discussion: Mr. Bowman directed attention to an expert- diture of $3,000,000 for war purposes for the past year. The Treasurer had,receiv ed over $2,000,000 from the war tax, which left a difference of $1,597,400, which had been placed in capital expendi- ture, "I contend" said the Liberal critic, "It is not proper treatment of this amount to transfer it from ordinary expenditure to capital expenditure as has been done in the statement presented to the House, since in former years all this expenriture was dealt with in current account. "How were the receipts dealt with . in 1915 from the war fund ?'' broke in Mr. McGarry. r•If my memory sert(gs me right they were dealt with as current receipts." re- plied Mr Bowman. "Well, there you are wrong. I carried down capital receipts of $1,800,000 in that year, and therefore this year I carried down capital expenditure o f $1,500,000 against it," said the Provincial Treasurer. Once the bookkeeping aspect of the de- bate was passed over, the Liberal mem- bers had a field day and discussed 'their favorite subjects Mr. Sam Carter, (S. Wellington) took another fling et the nickel industry and critic:sed the Govern- ment for not taking more money in taxes from those companies. Mr. Chas. McCrae, Sudbury, who fol- lowed made a strong plea for common sen°' being applied to development poli- cies. al Northern Ontario. For one thous- and dollars made in mining one hundred thousand was lost. It was a hazardous enterprise. For years the nickel companies had struggled against the difficulties to refine their product and then had to make heir own market. Lest year the nickel industry distributed over $20,000,000 in Ontario for wages, -supplies, etc., exclusive entirely of taxation. Tnere would be no further investment of capital in Northern' Ontario if the Government at every hand went to the mine owners.•and exacted the last dollar of profit from, operations. The war of killing was aver and the war of commerce had begun. In the lat- ter Canada would have to stand on her own feet, The policy for the Province to pursue was to make it attractive for dap- ital to be invested. To open up great in- dustries, fo provide employment, to se- cure social and industrial contentment by work at good wages under proper condi- tions. He deplored the fact that the great de- posits of iron ore in Northern Ontario were lacking developement because of the competition with American ores, The Canadian ores were different to smelt on account of their peculiar chemical content, It would be worth while for the Dominion or Provincial Government to depart from its usual practice and lifer a bennty of 50 cents a ton on all ore mined and smelted in Canada. It would estab- lish the nucleus of a great iron and steel industry that would be an immense asset to the wealth of the country. - Mr, J. T. H Regan (S, Wentworth) re- ferred to the recently revived farmers movement. He ventured the opinion that the farmers would get more out of their organizations by keeping out of pol Aim. Capital, labor and agriculture had to be brought closer together. A gulf separated them now. That was the prob- lem of the future and he advised the Gov- ernment to invite farmers to accept the' more hfcrative posts on various com- missions that were appointed, and in this way secure the'benefit of the best agricult turas brains in the country. The Workmen's Compensation Act, was a big step in this direction and its benefits were appreciated by the in- dustrial classes The Governil ent ie going farther in its efforts to reduce the annual fire losses in. Ontario. Amendments were suggested to the 1~ 'ire Iviarahat's Act by the Attorney General to enable this department to work in closer cooperation with the ntuti. icipalities in order to secure the elitninatb ion of buildings and local conditions that ittreStatd tits flea risk, There wlfa some SAM, AD`,.1V' CE criticism Against the Fire Marshal con* ducting his own examination of witnesses. Mr. 1 roudfoot thought this could be better done by the Crown Attorney, but Mr. Lucas argued that the Fire Marsh* al's knowledge enabled him to get more satisfactory testimony from witnesses. Legislation is to be introduced facilitat- ing the organization in the rural districts of consolidated school*. These schools will be made up of a group of school sec- tions and will- be assisted with ample grants to offset the displacement of the present school premises. More effective work it is claimed can be done where the' attendance ie large enough to warrant the employment of more highly trained teach- ers. 13y this system of linking up small- er schools, the choice 'of having, a con- solidated school will be left with the mun- icipalities. Another piece of legislation that will he welcomed is the bill now before the House to provide for the appointment of a public trustee. Mr. V. A. Sinclair (S. Oxford) has argued this matter upon the attention of the Government for some years. Such an official will have charge of escheated estates and simple administration as well as lessening law costs. WAR AT-MONKTON (From Toronto Globe) Monkton, March 12,—Fighting took place here Monday night between mem- bers of the local Lutheran church and re- turned soldiers and young boys from the village. ,.Several members of the church were badly bruised in the faces, but none was seriously injured. The are a number of Lutherians in this vicinity and Monday night's trouble was the culmination of a growing antipathy between the two fac- tione. Pte. Lorne Wicke, a member of the local Lutheran chntch, was known to be returning from active service Monday night and a reception was organized in his honour. The Lutheran minister, Rev. Mr. Wohlert, was invited to speak, but did not appear. No Lutherans appeared to welcome home one of their own mem- bers. Then it was learned that the Luth- erans were holding a meeting to arrange 'some internal trouble. A party of young lads. accompanied by one returned ixtan, went up to the church, They raised a disturbance outside, and some of the members carne out and dragged them in- Ode. - There, it is alleged the boys were very roughly handled. One of them was hit over the head with -a broom -stick and others were badly mauled. ' Their hair was pulled and they were then "kicked" out. The angry youths went for reinforce- ments and waited outside the church, ready for the members when the meeting should break up. They lined the exit and practically forced •the Lutherans to run the gauntlet. Fists were used freely and the man who.had wielded the broom was singled out and badly beaten. Only three returned men are said to have taken part in the fighting, and only one took part in the first expedition. About 77 men have enlisted from this vic- inity, and of these only 18 or 20 have re- turned. The Lutherans spoke yesterday of tak- ing the matter into the courts, but decid- ed to let it drop. No action is contemp- lated on the part of the civic authorities. For some time there has been a feeling in this district that the Lutherans have not done their share in the war They were accused of having pro -German sympath- ies, and it is claimed that very few of,. the Lutheran boys enlisted.

Moreover, if you stick to any one laxative, you've got to be increas- ing the dose all the time. That can do you a lot of harm.
