Often the eheapitst—Always the Best Management to Blame for Farmer's Bank Smash SIR WILLIAM MEREDITH, IN REPORT TO PARLIAMENT, SAYS TREASURY BOARD HAD NO IMPROPER MOTIVES IN GRANTING OF CERTIFICATE Ottawa, Feb: 20.—Sir :William Meredith's report as royal tom-' missioner appointed to investigate the affairs of the Farmers Bank and the relations of the former minister of finance Hon. W. S. Fielding, and the treasury board thereto, was tabled in the Com- mons this afternoon by Hon. W. T. f White, The conclusions reached in the report may be briefly sum- marized as follows : The whole ! blame for the failure of the bnalr, involving a net loss to the de-, 1 0 , positors of $ ,3 6,137 is ascribed to the recklessness and fraud of those intrusted with the ratan tg e- I went ,of the bank, and not to (the l granting of the certificate by the treasury board. Treasury Board Guiltless, In so far as the treasury board is concerned the commissioner finds I that there is no ground for im- puting any improper motives to i the ex -finance minister or his colleagues, and the most that can properly lie charged against them is "an error of judgment." This error of judgment lay in accepting the repeated assurances of Traverse as to the correctness of the sworn • statements of the bank's affairs without making a sufficiently searching inquiry as to the truth of the allegations made by Sir Ed- mund Osier, Mr. David Henderson, M. P„ and others, Sir William Meredith. Not 'Honestly Managed. The chief justice further finds that Sir Edmund Osler and Mr. Henderson did not think it worth while to bring before the House of Commons the action of the trea- sury board in granting the certi- ficate, and that this `may ibe ob- served as probably indicative of their view as to the gravity of the irregularities of which they had been informed." Sir William says that if the bank had been prudent- ly and honestly managed there is no reason why it sho,}tld not have succeeded, despite the, irregulari- ties on the part of Travers and his misconduct in connection with the application for the certificate. This would seem to indicate that the shareholders and depositors will not have much to go on in their de- mand for reimbursement from the Government. Both Mr. Peter Ryan and the late I Hon. Col. Matheson, Provincial treasurer, are exonerated of any culpability in the matter. In regard to the latter the report finds that the Provincial Treasurer, 1 in making deposits in the bank. , acted with nothing in view but the public interest, and was not aware of any agreement between the To- ronto World and Travers. The Dominion Subsidy After a spirited debate in the legis. lature on the question of Provincial subsidies paid by the Dominion Gov, ernment, Mr. Rowell's motion to the affect that the house memortallze the Dominion Government to readjust tide subsidy payable to Ontario for debt allowance upon the same basis as tiilit received' by Manitoba was defeated by a vote of 70 to 17. This question was also the subject of a keen debate -in the session of 1912. Hon. I. 13. Lucas strongly condemned the practice of granting fixed assess- ments, claiming that city councils hail no right to grant them. 444-+4+444++4..4+++++4++4•+4+ *++4•h'+++++4+•'..+'i+++++++++ + + + + + + Doctor's SPECIAL Not a medicine But a man's Calfskin Shoe, built to keep you in good heaith— free from colds and rheumatism.
