Relief for whom? The contrac- • tors, the Government, or the unem- ployed? - That is the usual order of benefit • on public works contracts, and hu- • znan nature being what it has always • been, we see no justification for the belief that unemployment will fare any better in this new spending cam- paign than it has done on other occa- sions. • • Particularly so'*hen» the money is to be expended only in favored locali- • ties and not broadcast over the Do- • minion as a whole. • In other words, this $40,000,000 of the people's money is to be expended • only in constituencies where it is ex- pected it will do the most good— good to the Government that is. • The City of Calgary, for instance, is to receive $1,300,000 or better. That is Premier Bennett's own rid- • ing. He is certainly being good to his own. Just why the City of • Calgary or any other large city or centre should be given upwards of a million and a „quarter dollars for relief, while rural *districts like the County of Huron, • who help furnish that same money, receive nothing, is for many' rather hard. to understand. Premier Bennett went into power in 1930 largely on his promises to make Canada 'the' land of Cannan in a world of depression. That, was four years Ago and Can- ada, far from being a Bennett Utopia, has suffered, in its agricul- tural districts, perhaps the hardest times it has known in history. It has taken Mr. Bennett four •years to bring)iis first relief measure to the forefront, and it is just pos- sible that if his lease of office was not so short, his unemployment re- lief measure, such as it is, would still be undecided. If Mr. Bennett's relief measure had come in his first year of office instead of his last, there is a possi- bility that it would have been receiv- ed with a much greater grace than it is receiving now. To the every day. man in the coun- try it is being looked upon as a bid for election. Simply that and noth- ing more. And, to give it a still more sinister look, all contracts for public works hi this 'relief measure under $25,000, are to be let without tender. That will be nice for- the Government's contractor friends, won't it? Ii fact the whole relief measure *looks very much like a pre-election bid for power. Row under the cir- cumstances, can it be looked upon otherwise? If 'Mr. Bennett had wanted to come to the relief of the unemployed— td the unemployed- only -.--direct un- cial aid would have come nearer to Ifihg, then:ail on the head. overnments have no money of their own to give.

WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY. ,PROFIT IN HORSES ' (iSt. ,oatharines Standard) What does the Horse Show mean?' An autle erotic story is told of the purchase in one of the eastern counties by a good judge Of horse- flesh oil two horses, one for $225 and the other for MI5. They were kept, groomed. and fed for a year at the end of which they were sold to a New York :men for $5,000. Now that is good business, but one -first has to know what a good eon is or what he can be developed into. There's the rub. • "NOT A PARTY HACIi" .• l(Winnipeg Free Press) The Free Press is in receipt of a couple of .. 'emergent telegrams from individuals in New On- tario who describe themselves as chairmen of Liberal campaign committees. They object to news aboat the •Outario pro- vincial election campaign appearing in the Free Press as not being agreeable to their idea as to the kind of despatches; that ought to be appear - hag. They even go so far as to deinand an explana- tion.. The explanation is very simple. The Free Press as a newspaper and note. party hack. But there are some people 'wko need to be reminded of this fact from time to time. • EACH YEAR THEY COME »' - '(Stratford Beacon -Herald) What's the use? We keep on trying to tell people in United States that we do not live in 'wigwams, that we do not eat blubber and that in a general way eur landismuch the same as their own. • But what's the ' use? The other day there passed through Montreal another of those Unit- ed States cars to the rear end of which was tied a sleigh. The folic were coming up to Can- ada because it was hot at horne and they were 'going to ride down the snow-covered hills. They'd get so cooled off that they could ride homie and &band the remainder of the hot season. Probab- ly they figured it would be something to go home and tell the folk that late in June they pelted snow balls at each other in Canada. The wonder is that people would not recog- nize and realize just hew stupid they must look when they give such an outward and visible ex- hibitiot of their ignorance. Every person would laugh at them as they paesed; folk would laugh at them when they -pimp -rad Each year seems to produce its crop of people from United States who enter Canada with sleighs, snow shoes and all such equipment. We can only hope that they find it necessary to perspire freely during their stay in this country. • "THIS GENEReUS 'LARGESS"' (Toronto Star Weekly) The utterances of the defeated after an elet- hen are often quite interesting --and qui -be re- vealing. Those of .the !Mail and Empire follow- ing the debacle. of 'June 19th were particularly iilumnin'ating,because the attitude which they dis- closed is not •only, that, of a newspaper. It is, to, too great'an extent, the attitude of ,politicians in general, and is the attitude especially,we fear, of the politicians whom the .Mail supports. Extracts from that newspaper's editorial col- umns on the two days following the election illustrate the; podnt. It said: Mail, June 20: "The unemrploye'd have been fed and Clothed and cared for through the ef- fo'rts of Ministers,. iti co-operation with the fed- eral government and the m.unicipalities, but it is obvious that .the .beneficiaries of this gener- ous largess have been moved by no sense of gratitude." Mail, June 2j: l''It is apparent that tens of thousands of those on relief in Toronto and other industrial eeetrese and indeed in most conetitruen- ales, cast their ballote agahist the a,derninistraticm which has taken the lead in feeding and cloth- ing and housing thetm. . .
