off? The cost of education is $9,-
967,000. Surely the least we can
do is to afford facilities for the men-
«tal and physical dvelopment of our
youth. It costs considerable to
maintain our high standard of law
-and order. The government was
■trying 'to protect the public against
unscrupulous stock salesmen. Hydro
had been -extended to the rual sec
tions. Protection has been given to
women and children in factories and
a minimum wage established. On
tario enjoys facilities that are not
enjoyed by any other state or nation.
The hog markets have been developed. Assistance has been given in
the development of community
centres. Considerabde money is be
ing spent on the highways so as to
give employment 'to -the needy. To carry on all these activities the gov
ernment must spend money.
The speaker stated that Mr. Hep
burn is reported to have said that
he would abo-.ish the department ot
agriculture. The old stalwarts of
Liberalism have made a fight for
provincial rights. Will the farmers " j of Ontario- have a better chance of.
getting what they want through Ot
tawa in competition with the other
provinces than they have at Toron
to? Mr. Hepburn has criticised the
surplus hydro power but it had been
shown that the actual surplus was
not far in excess of the demand. The
record of hydro in ten years shows
an increased revenue of 80 per cent,
and increase in the service to agri.u
culture 120 per cent: and an increas
ed financial reserve of 43 0 per cent.

1’933 with that of 1923 and in spite
of this period of development the
expenditure was $5,000,000 less on
the capital account than it was ten
years ago. Had it not been for
relief the Henry government would
have spent about one quarter of
what had been spent ten years be
fore. Mr, Hepburn criticises the
Henry government but when two
hundred million dollars had sifted
through the hands of the Dominion government Mr. Heyburn had little
weight with liis own party at Ottawa
and if he could not do it at Ottawa
how could he do it in Toronto? Tile provincial government had made
considerable saving by retiring the
debt at New York when the exchange
was at par. The government had
floated a loan at the lowest rate in
the history of the province. The
speaker commended Mr. Henry as a
man who had brought this province
through troublesome times and a
man whom we could trust. Mr.
Henry was not as eloquent or fluent
a -talker as Mr. Hepburn but was a
man of sound Judgment.
The speaker said that he had spent
a lol of time and money -advocating
temperance. Whether -or not the
Conservative party had given us the
leadership we want, we know where
they stand. The Henry government
is anxious to maintain sobriety and
temperance. Mr. Hepburn h.as been
trying to find an issue on which tc
split the people of Ontario. He has
tried many but none of them have
clicked and at last has dragged on
the old banner “it is time for a
change.” Mr. Henry has kept step
with the times and the. demands and
has made change after change. Mr. Hepburn in his eagerness for power
has intimated his willingness to fall
in behind Mr. Woodsworth by his re
cent utterance. “I will swing well -to
the left.” The electors will do well
■to stand behind Mr. Geo. S. Henry
and his supporter Mr. Elliott.
J. C. McRuer, K.C., Toronto
Mr. J. C. McRuer K.C. spoke in
the interests of Mr. Ballantyne. He
stated there was evidence of a tre
mendous amount .of money being
spent in this election to return Mr.
Henry. If Mr. Henry was so sure
of his election why did he undertake
to spend thousands of dollars on
highways on the eve of an election.
It had been charged that Mr. Hep
burn would do away with the de
partment. of agriculture. Was the
statement true when Mr. Hepburn
had pledged to make Mr. Duncan
Marshall minister of agriculture if
elected? What Mr. Hepburn said
was that some departments would be
curtailed and some abandoned. Is
there any good reason why thous-
sands of dollars should be spent on
a motion picture bureau or the department of colonization to biting
people to this province when we can’t
feed the people that are here. The
speaker was indebted to Mr. McAl
lister for bringing up the bond is
sue. Why was it necessary for Mr.
Henry to get advice from the. men
who were to buy the bonds and pay them handsomely for that advice
The bonds were sold at $96.00 and
were supposed to be sold to the
people of Ontario but was there one
in the audience who had been able
to secure one of these bonds. They
had been bought up by bond dealers
and insurance companies and were now bidding around $108 a gain of
twelve points in three months. This
is not the whole story. Mr Hepburn
says he will not allow anyone to sit
on a. company directorate and at the
same time occupy a cabinet seat.
When one sits, on a directorate he
must buy as cheaply as possible and
as a cabinet minister it is liis duty
t<o sell as high as possible. The
trouble is, Mr Hepburn is just a lit
tle ahead of the rest and is giving
the leadership that has not been
had for thirty years. It can be shown
where the cost of administration
can be cut down fifty per cent with* out cutting the mother’s allowance
or the old age pensions one cent. It
was the Liberal’s that started Old
Age Pensions and the Drury govern
ment the Mother’s Allowance.
The speaker said that banks and
loan companies had no money to
loan to fanners because they were
making big profits from government
bonds and in the past two loans
floated by the government the- gain
to bondholders was $7,9 5 0,0 00; The Henry government had been elected
for four years. They had taken five,
and no one knows what they will
take .next time if elected. The Con
servative party -says that your leadt
er is your policy but Mr. Hepburn
says that a .representative should
represent 'his constituency. On the
question of hydro Mr. Hepburn says
that it belongs to the people. It
was not right to buy Ontario Power Service Company bonds at $90 when
they were listed as low as $37. It
took three weeks in the legislature
before Mt. Henry admitted that he
had made a profit on these boners.
Such things will ruin ihydro. That is
why we attack it on the hustings.
In reference to the liquor toll-gate was- it right that distillery compan
ies should be paying commissions for
selling liquor t-o the province. Any
tax should be put on by the province
•and not by party heelers. He- spoke
of the government spending $187,-
000 for a school that would house
only 40 delinquent girls. The salary
list alone of this school is $17,0nu
a year. You know Mr. Ballantyne’s
record in the county. Had there been
a few more Ballantyne’s in the Con
servative party things might not
have been as they are. He appealed
to the electors to support Mr. Ball
antyne at the polls.
At the close of Mr. Ruer’s address
Mr. Elliott was given ten minutes to
