As e rule if a man spends more than be're- ceives he is to that extent in debt, Bet not se with the Federal system of finance. Though their income is some sixty million dollars short of expenditure, yet the finance minister reports a surplus of some two mil - hon dollars. This reminds one of the days when Peter Smith was training a' big surplus. The radio broadcasting stations in the United States should take a lesson from their best magazines and moving -picture corporations which have ceased publishing, or showing, propaganda at the expense of neigh- boring countries. It is not very pleasant to find some the larger broadcasting stations' fn New York or Pittsburgh "cotning in" with a lecture that delights to "take a slap" at England, or boasting of their liberty, or their form of govern- ment as vastly superior to the rest of •the world, It might not be out of place for the Federal governutentt atOttawa to get some able speakers like Canon Cody and others, to use the C.N. Railway +broadcasting sta- tions in Ottawa, Montreal, Whittling and Edmonton to tell of the real liberty, as distinguished from license, enjoyed in Canada; of the excellence of Canadian marriage laws; of the administration ofjustice and the many other advantages enjoyed by Canadians, rw A new Representation act is now being considered in the Legislative Assembly for election purposes. While not finally decided, it is expect- ed that the three Huron con- stituencies will remain as before, but Bruce county will probably be changed. Seeks to Curb Hasty Marriages. Toronto, March 3L—The legal committee this afternoon reported the bill sponsored by E. R. Wigle, M.P.P., by way of amendment to the Marriage Act. It provides for proof of age of both parties, upon applic- ation of either for a license; and fixes a penalty up to $100 for anyone sol- emnizing a marriage within three clear days after the license is issued. "The whole abject," Mr. Wigle ex- plained, "is to curb hasty marriage among the youth. If approached from a serious angle, rattier than a senti- mental aspect, you will agree some- thingshould bedone. We have many y hasty marriages, whereas if .3 days were required before the marriage took place the parties would have opportunity of deliberating upon the seriousness of the contract, Then in. a great many cases the applicant, usually the man, swears falsely as to age of the other party. We have a recent case where the parties were intoxicated, and •when they came •to their senses wanted the marriage annulled. I have sent copies of the bill to clergymen, and in nearly every instance they give indorsation, and laymen have as well" Russell Nesbitt thought that in towns and •ities .there should be ad- vertisement of licenses issued, but' Mr. Wigle urged that too long a step' should not 'be taken at a time,, "Licenses have been procured without intention of marriage at all," Law Clerk Dymond pointed out. "The issuer at the city hall here says there is a lot of perjury." Clause 4, providing that the bill should go into effect upon the royal proclamation, was deleted to con- form with the practice of "60 days atter the session," and the hili was then reported, The Deficit Appears, As has been expected the Kung Government really has a deficit on the financial year.

After this function was per- formed the evening was spent in games and cards and pleasant con- versation. Mr and Mrs. Carlin and family will be greatly missed is the community as they were popular With both young and old and excellent neighbors, We wish them the very best success in 'their • mercantile career in thb Beechwood general store. The following is the address: "To our neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Jasties F. Carlin and family, - "We, your friends and neighbors, have gathered here this evening to bid you fond farewell as you' are leaving is and to wish you every success in your new undertaking. As a boy you grew up among us and when you decided to settle in our neighborhood bringing in ane ,of Mc- Killop's finest girls to be your life partner, we were overjoyed at our good fortune in having for neighbors such a •fine couple, Who were always willing to lend a 'helping hand, As a token of our respect for you, we ask you to accept these presents, im- material as they may seem as a re- membrance of your neighbors of the Huron 'Road; We look with envy on the neighborhood of Beechwood, which is 5o fortunate in getting a couple of your calibre. In your new undertaking we +wish you every suc- cess and a long and happy life and we assure you that as customers, we will give you our support and co-opera- tion. Signed oe. behalf of your neighbors, John Murphy and Peter H. McGrath." same method of arriving at the state of finances fled been followed as was followed by Hon. W. S. Fielding there would, as Sir Henry Drayton has pointed out, be a deficit of $80,000,000, for the new bond guar- antees +for the Canadian National represent $64,000,000. Proof that a surplus does not exist is to he seen in the admission 01 Mr. Robb that during the year the net national debt has 'beeat increased ,by $13,703,838, Last year he said that the debt had been reduced by the amount of the surplus. It follows that this year there really having been no surplus, the debt has naturally been increased to this extent. Some remarkable flguringx,has been done in order to arrive at the pretended surplus. In the first -place it is admitted that total revenue for the year will be, $52,800,000 below that for the year 1923-24, As at the end of February it was $55,000,000 below that for the corresponding eleven months of the preceding year, it will be seen that the estimate is very optimistic. But let it go at that. The total estitnated expenditure, Mr. Robb puts at $342,- 177,000, or only $1,844,076 below that for the preceding year, according to itis own figures. And yet with an expenditure almost equal to that of the preceding year, and with nearly $53,000,000 less to meet it, Mr. Robb figures out a surplus of $1,832,000, Can you beat it? But not satisfied with this, Mr. Robb says •prat $4,000,162 in the form of back interest, which Greece and Roumania have promised to pay on their Loans, should be added to the $1.832,000. This money had not been received; all that the Government has is these countries' promise to pay, ayet t 'tand is treatedh t e se d ut as money in the treasury. The Home Bank directors got into trouble through including overdue interest in their statements of assets, attd yet here is the Government cuing the -same. Wh'eu a Govern- ment adopts such methods it is easy to see where it will land the country, Mr. Robb's remarks respecting thaw way the Budget was prepared last year showed the correctness of Con- servative criticism as to the means by which the surplus of $35,000,000 was arrived at. He admitted that during the fiscal year 1923-24 the total requirements of the railways had been met out of ordinary ex- penditure and so had been a factor in producing the deficit of $31,641,067 that year. But he said that the Government could afford to do so as it had received $36,000,000 from the British +Governnnent that year. This supports the arguemnt of .the Conservatives when they pointed out last year that the Government got its alleged surplus 'by leaving out of account the money procured for the Canadian National Railways through the guarantee of bonds. This year the Government went even further, it left out of considera- tion the rash advanced to the rail- ways and the Merchant Marine. It should be •Horne in mind that mani as is the surplus that the Government claims, it has been ar- rived at through estimates that are almost certain to remain_ unrealized: Lam session the Government estimat cd that the total loss is revenue through the tariff reductions. t 1 tl c cutting of the sales tat. til rot reed ;'26.000,000: but nuc.
