SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, Feb. 15, 1907:
:
The Dominion Parliament. .
'Phe clisclasions that took place in
the •Dominion Parliament host week
were of greater importance 'then the
real business transacted. A. motion
was introduced and carried for the
eppointmertt of 'a select committee to
hittare SO to the "existence of a
.
Lumber combine, in Manitoba. and
;he Northwest. A - motion ": by Kr.
Borden, the leader of the *mitten,
!or the appointment of a select corn-
nittee• to enquire into the conditions
,
sevalling in Canada with a view
-.o the - introduction of legisia.tIon
'or the prevention and settlemerit of
iterates between employers and em-
ileyees, elicited lquit h an Interesting
ilecustsion. Mr. Ralpli Smith, one of
•he representativee of labor in •the
louse, moved an amendment to the
:ffect that the conciliation act of .
.90Q and the valIway labor thsputes
t of 1903 coiered the ground re-
plied and that all that it neces-
ary is legislation extending 'the prin-
iplere of these acts. This seemed to
Ire :the general -opinion: of the House
nd "altbough a clivision has not yet
ak.en taken it is probable that Mr.,.
Imith's amendment will carry.
A lengthy and somewhat acrinion-
ouS dlecussiort was that Which took ,
dace: on e illation smarming the Gov-
TrtirieIft for their deal with the Bab-
as Irregatione- Company. It seems
hat the Government sold to this cern- •
any a large tract of land situated
a the dry belt near • Calgary. for $1,
ker acre_ on certain conditions, one
cf Willa is that the company_ erect
rrigation works MCI 111 this -way
(lake - the barren
lands fruitful and I
'uitable for set
lemen,t. The Opposi-
ion contend.;
1.)„ That the land -In
EUestiOn was
old too Cheap:. (2) '
That the favored company will make
an Immense fortune oat of ite (8)
That the Government instead of sel-
ling the land should have let the work
of irrigation by _contract, to be car -
Tied out under the direction of a,
special commission appointed by the
Government, and thus save to the fu-
ture settler the profits which will
now go to the company. The Govern-
ment, on their ide, showed that the
t -land in queetion was valueless with-
out 'negation ; the main line of the
0. P. R. paseed through it, and; al-
though _It had lain in this shape for
over twenty years, no settlers had
asked to locate on It, and even the
railway company would have nothing
to do with it. The objeet of the Gov -
eminent is not to r-nake money gut of
their Vacant lands, but to have ithem
Waled, and in this way make them
produetive, 'and so add to the -Wealth
of the whole country. The company
to which the land has been 'sold, had
to assumecertain honerotes candi-
tions in addition. to the Purchase price
of one .dollar per aore. Before they.
could make. any part of their land
available for eettlernent, they would
nave to expend. abut a million and
a half of dollars in irrigation werke;
they had to do so much work every
'-ear, and, in the event of failure in
. Fey one of their conditions they for-
feited al' the money they had expend -
cd; moreover, any of these lands that
remain unoccupied at the expiration
of fifteen years revert to the Crown,
SO that, if after the land is reclaim-
ed and made productive, the company
do not sell it at a fair. price to
the settler, it will not be token' up,
and this, will prevent them selling the
land at a price higher than -its value.
They maintained that the arrange -
meat made was better for the country
aed the settler than if the Govern-
ment had undertaken the work, as re-
commended by the Opposition. The
House seemed_ to take Lite same view,
as; the motion af the Opposition was
voted down an a division by a vote
or 86 to 53, the only Ministerialist
who voted a.ealost the Government be-
ing -Mr- Bourassae
sir, E. N. Lewie, of West Huron,
brought a matter before the 'House
which, elicited an interesting etate-
men t from the Premier. Mr. 'Lewis
conaidereci that the preeent system of
conducting internaLonal affairs was
not satisfactory, and while not person-
ally in favor or having &representative
of Canada at Washington, he thought
'there might be a better way of 'stall-
ing matters affecting Canada and the
United States Ulan the present. He
nuked the Prime Minister to state to
the weeld that the people of Canada
were in sympathy with, the people of
Newfoundiand,and that ea far as they
eould they would stand by them in
their present trouble. After explain -
'ng the eituation of affairs in New-
foundland, the Premier said; "Now
we have come to this -positton ini our
relations with the people of the Unit-
ed States: We never ean conceive
of war between us, or of war be-
tween Great Pritain and the United
Statez. We mean to eettle all our
difficultiee witb that nation by
peaceful means, by diplomatic aetion,
tv negtitiation, but never by war.
That is the condition. I have only to
nay, and I believe that in thie I
voice the feeling of every citizen -of
gartada, that toward the solution of
their cliffieulty- we desire , to hein:
the peenle of Newfoundland,* far as.
in our power _
Another event of the week. WAS,
tbe -pMentAtiot; by: the' Speaker of.
resignationer Ken. C. S.' H5r-
man, prOperlY „attested,. Of his -seat
in London. Simultaneous with this
announeernent the Premier preterit -
ed the correspondence between
self ,and Mr, Hymen on the -subject
of the latter's resignation of his seat ,
and portfolio ale Minister Of Pub-
lic WOrks. The Opposition :seemed to,
-insinuate that there was a "nigger
7on. the( fence" *somewhere, but the
Premier made It. very clear that
While he approved of Or. Hyman re-
signing tits seat .for London, he did
not think there was 'ehything requir-
ing tiro to withdraw from the Cab-
inet; and he declined to ask .for or
accept resignation from 947 col-
league -because of temporary ill health.
He .alsel announced that the bye -el-
ection in London will be held at an,
early, date. Ur. Hyman, the corrals-
pondenoe .disclosed, is recovering, but
is nett yet able' to corm, home or
to °give any attention to 'either ealba.
lic or private budinesee
Another lengthy debate was precip-
itated by a, motion by Colonel Sam
Hughes • in favor of Colonial repreSen-
tation in the Imperial Parliament.
The motionwas secorifled by Mr.
Chisholm, of East Huron, who made
a lengthy and able speech in its fa-
vbr. Sir Wilfrid Laurier- thoughtthe
scheme ,Impracticable and said it is
time enough triesrovide for such" mat-
ters When the necessity- arisen.' In
the , mean time Great Britain and
her colonies are getting along Very
well together and there le no neces-
sity for 'dhsturbing the pleasant re-
litherse subsisting between them. Af-
ter the leader of the Opposition and
sdveral others had spoken Mr. Hughes
withdrew his motion. '
The House adjourned from Tuesday
until Thursday on account of Ash
Wednesday.
The Ontario Legislature..
It is expected that after this eweek-
the Legislature, will get right dowa,
to. .business as Moet of the Govern-
ment 'measures are promised for this
week or( before the; 'adjournment en
Friday. The principal event of the
past, week was ,the visit; of the Legise
lators to Kingston Whither theY
went in a 'body on the invitation° of
theauthorities of Queens University.
They were right 'royally received.
They fire; visited the dairy school,,
the School of •Mining and the- various
departments- of the University' and
were afterwards entertained at a
banquet. The object of all thie
of coulee, thedesire of Queens' for an
incresased giant for both the Univer-
sity and School or, Mining. The lat-
er was very favorably spoken of by
both the representative of the Gov.-
rnment, Hon.- Mr: Matheson And the
leader • .of the 'Opposition. There are
225 letudents 'taking a , four yearei"
ourse 'ati the Mining School. It now
eeeives an annual grant of $29,500
or maintenance and $7,000 a year
Lor equiPmehb and Mr. Mathewson all
but promised that these grants evoield
e -'considerably increasedle is not
rnprobable also' tha,t a verer consider-.
ble grant to the University will be
one of the results of this visit.
A 'manor/ is 'being -kept afloat _with
.onsiderable persistency that 'the
overnment will submit .a, measure
-this -session' increasing the salaries of
the members of the Government and
furnishing a salary for the leader of
the -Opposition. Should a measureof
this: nature be proposed 'the Opposi-
tion Will not be in very. good shape
to oppose it as the government have
• a precedent for oldie a m'ove' in the ace
tion taken recently by the Dominion,
Government. And the Government can
hardly propose ail increase of their
own salaries without giving a slit*
to the Hmerrebers also. However it
will be time enough to discuss such
p-roposition When it assumes more
definite form.
The Rouges of Refuge.
Dr. Bruce', Srnith the indefatigable
and very, efficient Provincial In-
spector 'of *prisons and publec charit-
ies, in !his .annual report to the Pro-
vincial secretary, recently submit-
ted to the 1...egislature, .inclulgeeth
Spine Plaid speech in ;reference to
the 'manner in which Many of the
Houses ',= of Refuge in the Provi•nce
are conducted. Ire many of these coun-
ty enstitutions, !he says, unfortunate
inrnatee'tha.ve 'been left very much to
take care of ithemeelvee, and the sick
have beeni greatly neglected. In some
eases, the grosseet indifference could
only account foe the conditions ex-
isting._ In the house to which ob-
jection is( taken were found unsani-
tary conditions-, Stith and verrhin.
Bathing facilitlea are inadequate, and
the inmates were not kept clean ,F
Too °rtes, says the inspector, the
whole detire is to see, not bow well
'taut bow :cheaply the inatitution can
be conducted. One example le gives.
or .aa inetieutioh with 86 • inmates,
and only two domestics emploeed,
the tresult being,. that dirt and ne-
glect were everywhere apparent. The
report recommends a reorganization
of the itEryetatn of .management of theist
institutions, with a uniform system
for the whole- province intheir man-
age xne nit.
The Provincial bye -election in West
Middleaee. 'between/ Mr. Duncan C.
Ross and Mr: George A. Stewart is
waxing warm. It will be quite a
feather in the cap of the GoVernmenti
if they win thie historically Liberal
colestituency and they are putting
forth most =etrenuona efforts to
do so. Several Cabinet Ministers and
many liesser lights, are camped' in
the riding and are holding meeting -/3
nightly. The leader ot the Oppoil-
tion ' with! Mr, McKay and several
other prominent Liberals are equal-
ly active for Mr. Rosa. The result
acerns doubtful and the vote will
likely be elose. The election takes
place mit Wednesday.
