servative, brother of Attorney -Gen-
eral W. H. Price, was elected:in four

Liberal, Bukley the Labor candidate
polled 3869 votes, 3000 less than Mr..
Price; Reid, Socialist, polled but 107
votes and in no way affected the el-
ection.
All parties appear satisfied with
the resat, Premier Henry getting a
win in hard times. and in a riding
where there'is considerable unem-
ployment, is very gratifying.

sion in the number of Conservative

tion of Mr. Price with such a small
majority compared to previous elec-
tions in West York •a moral victory.

USERS DISCUSS
TELEPHONE RATES
Good Turn-otit Despite Wet
Welzther ,
Rural subscribers of the Bell Tele-
phone system, forinerly users of the
North Huron Telephone held a
meeting in the Foresters' Hall, Bel -
grave, on Thursday evening last to
discuss telephone rates to rural sub-
scribers,
Mr. Peter W, Scott, Reeve of East
Wawanosh, was appointed chairman.
He stated that lie considered the
service given by the company to be
of a high standard but felt that the
Bell Company hag not done their
share to aid subs ribers in this de-
pression period. However, he said,
there were two sides to every story,
and :that Mr„.7. J. W. McIntosh; Dist.
Mgr. of the Bell Telephone Co., of
Stratford, was present, and asked the
assembly to give Mr. McIntosh a pa-
tient hearing.
Mr. McIntosh, iii his address, ex-
plained that the rates charged by the
Bell Telephone Cm mpany were set
by the Dominion .p.ail way Board as
passed away in Clinton on Monday a protection to thi subscribers. Two
morning, in the person of Hector firms of accountants had gone thru
McLean. The funeral service was the cost of Bell Telephone operat-
held from R. A. Currie's undertaking
parlors on Tuesday afternoon and
was conducted by the Rev. Kenneth
MacLean. Interment was made in
the Teeswater cemetery,

The funeral service was conducted
from the home of her son-in-law,
Percy Harris, Charles St., by Rev.
h:. Hayes, pastor of St. Paul's Ang-
lican Church, on Sunday last. The

er, W. :Broom, C. Bleach, James
Jones, Jack Smith.
Interment was made in Wingham
Cemetery,
Richard Chamney
'There passed away,' from pneu-
monia, on May 28th, at the Ontario
Hospital, London, Mr. Dick Cham-
ney, son of Mr. John -.Chamney, of
Westfield and the late Mrs. Cham -
hey.
Surviving him are his father and
one brother, Robert, his mother pre-
deceased him five .weeks ago.
The funeral service was held from
the home of his brother, Robert,
Rev Dr. Mortimer officiating both at
the home and graveside. Interment
was made in • Donnybrook Ceinetery,
Henry I. Pearen
On Sunday morning last, at Vic-
toria Hospital, London, there passed
to rest, Henry 1, Pearen, who was
born near Brampton, Ont., but in his
early teens moved with • his parents
to East Wawanosh Twp, and for the
greater part of his life lived in
Wingliain and vicinity.' Deceased had
enjoyed an active life and compara-
tively good health until five weeks
ago, when hes was stricken with par-
alysis which with subsequent co'?rt l.i-
cations caused his death last Sunday.
There lives to mourn his death,
two daughters, Elva and Lylah, of.
Wingham, his wife, the late Char-
lotte i3engough, having • predeceased
him some years ago; also his broth-
er, Matthew, of Medora, Manitoba,
Esaias of Pasadena, Calif., Lawrence
of Toronto; and his sister, Mrs, Jas.
Hunt of Toronto, Relatives from a
distance who attended the ft -mesal
services conducted by Rete. Sidney
Davison at the United Church here,
on Tuesday afternoon, were,, Mr L
tion before these rates had been put
in force that are Considered fair to
the users as well as to the company.
Mr. McIntosh stated that Ontario
and Quebec are enjoying lower rates
thanthat of other ;provinces.
He spoke of the hazardous nature
of the telephone business and as -an
example he quoted• the terrific dam-
age done by the sleet storms of last
winter and explained that extra re-
serve of money was always .neces-
sary to meet these reverses in order
that good service may be maintain-
ed.
Mr. Mclnotsli also stated that dur-
ing the times when prices of the
goods were at their peak that the
cost of telephone service had not
been advanced and therefore thought
that no reduction should be expect-
ed at this time. Mr. McIntosh also
pointed .out that the telephone is a
convenience -that in present day soc-
iety is really a necessity, being ready
at al ltintes to serve in case of sick-
ness, fire call, in fact, for all emer-
gencies or quick dispatch of mess-
ages,
The chairman then introduced lfi'
Robt. Coultes, an ex -Reeve of East
Wawanosh, Mr. Coultes stated that United Church W. M. S.
the desire for phone service • had
been built up by the North Huron
Telephone Company and he felt sat-
isfied the present Subscribers would
not have taken on the phone at the
present prices as they had at $10.00
per year front the North Huron Co.
He wondered why the Sell Tele-
phone with all their expert men
could not git'e service at less cost
when companies such as at \ Brox
eter and Blyth were able to do so.
He said that the people are not giv-
ing up their phones on account of
desire to do without theta, but be-
cause of the cost. The high cost of
service was antagonizing the people
and driving the people to look to
public ownerehip for relief, People
Inust have contented minds to ward
off Communism and the following of boost
other fanatic ideas. Duplication of
lines for ecenotny's sake are prohib-
ited and this looks like monopoly,
because even if all subscribers on a
lute ceased to use this service, no
other phone company would be al-
lowed to enlist these users.
Robt. J, Scott, President of the
United Farmers of Ontario, was the
next speaker. He also stated that
there was no fault to find with the
service given the employee or the
company, but he could not feel the
same toward the board of directors,
He took exception to the fact that
during different years the Bell Com-
pany had sold stock to their share-
holders at much less than market
value, and that this practice created
a greater number of shares of stock
on which to pay dividends than was
necessary, The Western Provinces
rebelled mid are operating their own
systems. In 1910 the Railway
Board was given control of the• ii'ell
systerii.'rates but this has not stop -

al coaches being puton the regular

sold.
This section of the country didn't

The chairmen of the different
townships and towns were re-elected.
Hon. Nelson Parliament was the
first speaker and he stated that or-
ganization was necessary for success
as the vote could not be properly
polled unless this was done. He stat-
ed that prosperity was apparent dur-
ing the periods Liberals were in
power and that it had been the re-
verse during Conservative leadership.
He blamed the Conservatives for de-
stroying the Tarrif Board and prop-
er contact with Britain by not ad-
opting methods of the Dunning P,ud-
get,
Hon. W. R. Motherwell, former
Minister of Agriculture, was then in-
troduced to the audience. He claim-
ed Hon. R. 5, Bennett was the .whale

ports with high tarriff, and cut aur community singing. Several musical
trade in two. He hoped Mr. Ben-
nett will make satisfactory progress
at the Imperial Conference and not
destroy chances of Imperial - Trade
as at the former conference. He
stated that exchange of commerce
between countries was for mutual
benefit and prohibitive tarriffs are
wrong, paralyzing railways and trade
in general. He claimed the present
government was a Millionaire Par-
liament who, outside of Hon. Robt.
Weir, knew nothing of agriculture,
and that Mr, 1,\reir wee inexperienc-
ed. That the government changes its
mind often and quickly was evidenc-
ed by its attitude on main subjects,
cutting civil pay and not the judges
and other, only to change tinder
pressure and do so. '" e •
C. A. Robertson, North I-Itiron re-
presentative in Provincial House,
charged the Henry administration
with being very late in practicing ec-
onomy, not doing anything about it
until last year. Commissions are do-
ing a Tot of the work the Cabinet
should look after with their depart-
ments and the big Administration
Building filled with clerical staff
were costing the province too much
money. Every car owner in Huron
County he claimed, paid $26 in gas
tax alone and the extravagance of
the present administration will nev-
er allow for reduction in taxes. Urge

thereby defeat the present govern -
