'Unscrupulous dealers were found during the past year to have imported inferior qualities. of .coal with the result that the govern- ment has taken immediate action to check the practice. Not .only is the bill designed as a protective measure but it is felt that it will stimulate the sale of the product in Ontario with the result the $100,000,000 now sent to the United States for .American coal will be kept in circulation in Ontario.

With an eye to economy whin possible, without a de- crease ecreat e itt efficiency, the Government measure reduces the number of poll - big places it being contended that, in the ,cities particularly, there are far too many polling places.

But from investigation we 'find that the present legislation regarding 'the ad'Inission oaf indigents .to hospital treatment free is being greatly abused and" it, lacks very much in the necess- ary'' machinery to insure fair treat- ment being enforced in that it tends towards pauperizing those who would otherwise disdain to, Moist themselves on the charity of others, many of whom are not so well able :to pay as they are themselves, but in many cases they are not apprised of the position they are placed in by those too intent upon a. sure collection of fees, Tor we believe the word "in- digent” is rather flippantly used and that 'tile patient is so classed without proper evidence. We at'e satisfied that great im- provement is .the method employed in :placing so-called indigents in hos- pitals for treatment is very much needed and :for that the legislation though :good in principle and intent, is lacking in the very ,precautionary -measures required to make it a suc- cessinstead• 'Oran abuse.
