But, ye ask me, what about farr

betther than the fellahs that are doin

Fur inshtance take some av our

Editor of the Advance -Times. -
On the homeward journey we pull
up at Regina, situated on the fiat
prairie, where you least expect a
city to grow, but this is a country
of many surprises, proving what the
ingenuity of man can accomplish, 1
ant indebted to Hon, W. J. Patter-
son, Provincial. Treasurer, for infor-
mation regarding. this city and pro-
vince, which says; "Incorporated as.
a town in 18.83, as .a city in 1903, :pop-
ulation at that date 3,000; in 1927,
50,000. Area of city, 5855 acres, ex-
empt land and water 2553 acres. Val-
ue of lands and improvements, $60,
000,000; pavements, 41 miles; con-
crete walks, 59 miles; plank walks,
78 miles; unpaved roads, 72 ` miles;
parks, 80 acres.; improved boulevards,
41 miles; public schools, 15; high
schools, 2. Value of sites, $3,300,
000 and number of scholars, 11,000.
There are a great many other in-
teresting itenis in connection with this
young city with which I will not
weary you, but would suggest that
you write to the Hon. member or
Board of Trade who will gladly fur-
nish you with all desired information
in booklet form. The main point of
interest to me, is mortar, stone, mar-
ble, wood and, general artistic ef-
fects in ground layout, the flowers,
trees and other natural things.
The Legislative Assembly is an-
other of those noble buildings, which
adorns our great nation, and shows
to the beholder a solidity of Empire
which nothing else can. The Hon,
gentleman writes a very large letter
setting forth in detail this wonderful
structure. To go fully into the mat-
er perhaps would tire you, but will
skim it over and give a few items. In
1906 the site was purchased, 168 acres ate from knowing the inner workings,
as required at a cost of $96,000. The of the machine -Dr. Anderson now
has the floor. "First I want to say
something of what has been the poli-
cy of the Government in the past and
as to what have been its results.
Many millions have been spent by
Governments in this province on vain
attempts to provide roads for our
people. Since 1920 or during the per-
iod ofeight years, the total amount
spent from the general revenue has
been $9,187,277, and a further sum by
way of capital expenditure of $6,428,
-667, in eight years. During this per-
iod the Dominion. Gov't has contri-
buted $1,684,394, which has been spent
by our -Provincial Highways Depart-
ment. Over fifteen and a half mill-
ions of dollars in eight years.
And what have. we to show for it?
•
Remember, during the greater part of
that eight years the •Hon. J. C. Gar-
diner was Minister of Highways. It
was shown that as a result of the
Bradshaw charges a few years ago,
that thousands of 'dollars that were
supposed to have been spent on roads
were never spent at all. The charges
of graft and corruption in connection
with the Provincial Government's De-
partmen of Highways were proved,
and to save the face of the Govern-
ment and a few officiales and Liberal
members of the Legislative were pun-
ished. How many others were guilty,
how much the Government itself
knew of what was going on, will, per-
haps, never be known until the de-
partmens are thoroughly investigated
by a new Government . Besides,
there have been enormous , losses
caused to farmers and others of the
province owing to automative depre-
ciation and breakages caused by bad.
roads.
There has been all too frequent loss
of life through accidents on the poor-
ly built highways. Thousands of
bushels of grain have sprinkled our
roads, and thousands of dollars lost
because tourists shun our province,
Probably millions have thus been lost.
The past records of the Gardiner
Government point emphatically to the
fact that it cannot be expected to
solve our road problems. Saturated
as it is with politics, its Highway De-
partment stands out as a living monu-
ment to the futility and utter impos-
sibility of carrying out a good roads
policy in an ,atmosphere of partisan-
ship, and soon 'world without end.
Another critic whom I have forgot-
ten, declares that the roads of this

and giving them the laugh occasion-
ally: Funny isn't it, this "opposition
idea" playing with Politics. Another
i
comical :circumstance, all chairs and
desks from where the opposition sit
have been removed to the attic or
cellar, as empty seats would be a bad

sweet day that furniture will be re-
placed and dusted for the said Grits.

any party to run a country and they

see just how it is going to be donee
The "Church" has to be consulted in
the matter, for they hold the balance
of power, and, as I said in a former
letter, when the "Middle European"
arrives here be is taught to say "We
vote Liberal" and there you are, what
can be done about it? The beggars
have the whip Band in the gigantic
"Machine" which they have built up
during those long years, When I
was a young gaffer, I thought the
Tories were past masters in political
manipulation, but I. find they don't
begin to hold a candle to this aggre-
gation for keeping themselves in pow-,
er. Premier Gardiner is said to be an
awful Grit, has no use for Tories
whatever, and why they ever existed
is 'beyond his understanding. They
appear to be to him like a red rag
to a bull, His day, like Ferguson's, is
coming and the hand -writing upon the
wall, see what Anderson, the leader
of opposition says regarding the "ma-
chine" as set forth in the "Regina
Star", the new Independent paper,
and by the way, the Government had
the press all to themselves until the
advent of this paper, which is a god-
send ,to this country, to expose their
doings and endeavor to bring into
better conditions for the benefit of the
commonwealth. You know what it
means to have a monopoly to make
use of the gag and prevent the Elector -

Premier Ferguson has heard no pro-

the change in the Ontario high school
curriculum, by which British history
will be taught only in the first or see-
and forms, and Canadian history in
the higher classes. • Complaint has
been voiced in some quarters that
this change will mean that pupils now
in the lower forms will have to study
Canadian history over again in their
higher years, and will miss 'British
history altogether., Premier Fergu-
son, as minister of education, declin-
ed to comment on the situation until
he consults officials of the depart-
ment. It is pointed oat, however,
that booklets describing the courses
were in distribution at least a month
ago and that the changes were lis
'cussed with the inspectors of public
schools' last February. It was the op -
of the inspectors that it would
be better not to study British and.
Canadian history at the one time.
Pupils will lose no standing by ,the
change. For examination purposes 'it
is considered best to have only one
history, for one year; -Walkerton

SELLING THEMSELVES
CHEAP
The other day we satin a man beat -
'ng a bill. He owed something over
four dollars and deliberately refused
to pay it. The amount was too small
for the creditor to sue. In looking
over the list put out by a collection
agency we final there are hundreds of
people in this country who owe small
amounts that they could pay and do
not,
Call any one of these bill beaters a.
iar and he will fight. Tell him he is
a crook and you will insult the honer
of his family. Call hien a man with-
out character and you stake an en-
emy for life.
Yet there are hundreds, of people irk
any county or large city who will sell
their reputation, which is the public
conception of character, for a five -dol-
lar bill or less. It would, surprise you
how many there are who would deny
reflection on their honor and yet sell
their reputation for honesty for a few
dollars.
Money is not the yardstick bywhich-.
men should be measured. Soinetinaes.
it is. The man who beats a bill, who.
cheats for the saket"of a few dollars,
is the man who is too small to be

splendid Library containing much of
interest, the principle thing being the
old table around which the Fathers
of Confederation sat during the Con-
ference at Quebec in 1864. The in-
scription of same says. "At this table
sat the Fathers of Confederation
dur-
ing the Conference held at Quebec
in 1864, which having been adjourned
on October 10th and led to the draft-
ing of the B. N. A. Act."
After the close of the Conference
the table was transferred to Ottawa
and for a time was used in the Privy
Council Chamber. Later it was sent
with other furniture to Battleford, at
that time the Seat of Government
for the North West Territories, a
position which the town occupied dur-
ing the years 1878-1881, when the
Honorable David Laird was Lieut -
Governor. When Regina was made
capital' the table was sent here and
became the House table of the As-
sembly, remaining such up to the
time when the present Legislative
and Executive building was opened
up in 1912. It is said this splendid
building has the longest corridor in
the world. This pretty little city is

MOTOR CAR COST
Few automobile owners take the
time necessary to ascertain, with ap-
proximate accuracy, how much it
costs then to operate their cars. So
long as the owner escapes a huge bill
for repairs he is content when the
expenses .does not unduly exceed, what.
he can pay without inconveniently-
straining
nconvenientlystraining his available resources. Busi-
ness efficiency experts may talk of -.
depreciation, tires, gas and oil, and,
the advisability of an occasional over-
haul, but the average owner and driv-
er settles when the time arrives and;
lumps it into service cost. So long as..
the car gives satisfaction, he never
dreams of worrying over the expense
of keeping his bus going. •
Conditions in Canada being closely
comparable with those south of the
border, a motorist interested in know-
ing what a car's upkeep costs the oth-
er fellow can refer to. the figures cons.-'
piled by the American Motorists' As-
sociation. As the result'of its know-
ledge and enquiries, this organization
reached the conclusion that in 1927'
the average automobile cost the aver
age motorist around a dollar a day,or
$365 a year. This calculation. is based
on a depreciation allowance of $136,
the balance of $229 being ascribed .to .
operation and naint4inance. The de-
preciation itself was figured on a life:
expectancy of seven years for a pass-
enger automobile and the average re --
tail price of $900 during the year.
