Ebttorf at
-The Bobca.ygeon Independent, a
radical paper in many respects, says :-
"°Air. Whitney has announced that he
intends working some of the silver
mines for the state, and others may be
worked on shares. His electrical coni -
mission reports strongly in favor of at
combined municipal plant at Niagara.
He has an act going through to en-
courage municipal telephones. He in-
troduced a well advanced liquor act,
and flatly tells a large deputation of
hotel -men that lie intends to stand by
it. Radicals could scarcely wish a
more progressive government than
Mr. Whitney's Toryism produces."
M♦♦
-Some time ago, «'m. Smith and
Geo. Ross, of the Post -office Depart-
ment, were sent by the Postinaster-
General to inquire and report upon
the rural snail service in the United
States. The report of these officers
was laid before the House on Monday,
and is to the effect that the experience
of the United States shows that the
introduction of a similar system here
would not be justifiable. In support
of this statement, Messrs. Smith and
Ross pointed out that the operation of
rural nail delivery in the United
States in 1004 showed a deficit of
$12,681,577. If the 45,000 or 05,000
other services spoken of are put on,
the deficit will run from $21,000,000 to
$20,000,000.

has done in regard to this mineral
property, set up a new standard in
public life, by which not only his own
public conduit but that of other public
leen as well will be judged in future.
13y his action in regard to the Gillies
limit, Mr. Whitney leas, in effect, de-
clared that so far as he is concerned
the one question to be considered, in
deckling upon. all matters of policy, is,
what does the public interest call for?
He will be compelled to assume tluit
same attitude when he costes to deal
with the question of railway taxation,
the electric power problem, adminis-
tration of our forest• wealth,. and all
other like nutters of vital public im-
portance. Ile has also fixed in the
public mind of Ontario a new standard
by which the Hien at Ottawa will here-
after be judged as well.
-The tower of the departmental
building, that fell recently at the Par-
liament buildings, Ottawa, was 105
feet high, and now lies an unsightly
heap of sand, small stones and other
debris. How it passed inspection is a.
mystery. There is a thin outer course
of stone and on the inside a course of
brick. Between these the walls were
filled with pebbles, cinders and sand,
with no large stones, or cement, or
other binding material to hold the
work together. Samples of the sand
and cinders were produced in the
House. Attention was called to the
incapacity of the inspectors and clerks
of works on contracts through the
country, and there was much criticism
of the character and cost of Govern-
ment enterprises in various parts of
the Dominion.
*
-Among other important provin-
cial legislation of this session of the
Ontario Legislature will be the expect-
• ed Railway Taxation Bill. In Michi-
gan the average rate of railway taxa-
tion per mile in 1004 was $310. Under
a decision recently rendered by the
' State Supreme Court, this amount
will be largely increased. The Grand
Trunk and C. P. R. both bear their
' fair share of the tax imposed by
Michigan on their lines in that State.
In Ontario, where railways are as
well able to bear taxes as are roads in
Michigan, the rate is only about one -
:
fifth the rate imposed in the neighbor-
ing State even before the decision of
the local Supreme Court was given.
The Province will expect the railways
to bear their proper share of taxation
in the future.
„ t
-Because the Dominion Govern-
ment refused to make any allowance
to Trooper Malloy, who lost his sight
in the Boer war, some one sent $1.00
towards a fund for him, but the money
was returned. Referring to this the
Toronto Telegram says :-A country
that has millions for grafters, and
thousands for pension -eating, salary -
4 grabbing politicians, is rich enough to
I pay a debt of honor to Trooper Mul-
t lily without the aid of $1.00 subscrip-
tions from individuals. Trooper Mul-
loy has not placed himself in the atti-
tude of suppliant for doles frons
vidlials. That Government should be
II ashamed at the very thought of allow-
ing a Canadian who went to South
Africa at its call to grope in blindness
I thiongh his darkened life on a pit-
° trance of sixty Cents a day, and even
'i that he gets not front Canada, but
from the Iniperi:tl. Government.

THE SASKATCHEWAN VALLEY
LAND DEAL.
This transaction, which was a feat-
ure of the debate, is simple enough in
itself but has been somewhat confused
by transfers and re -transfers of the
property and by changes in the cor-
porate name of parties. The out-
standing fact is that 250,000 acres of
farm land were sold by the Govern-
ment to a group of friends at $1 per
acre ; that the sale gave a privilege of
choice over an area of millions of
acres, and that the land has been sold
to settlers at $8 to $12 per acre. The
grant was made in 1002 and sales at a
profit of 000 to 1,000 per cent. began at
once. No amount of argument in de-
fence could efface this one fact, that
the speculators got $7 and the Gov-
ernment $1 out of the $8 paid for by
the farmer for the cheapest of these
selected lands. Discussion covered a
wide range but always got back to
this point. '
Two members of Parliament have
been closely connected with this
speculation. Mr. Turriff, now mem-
ber for East Assiniboia, was commis-
sioner of Dominion lands at the time
of the sale. His brother-in-law, Mr.
Adamson, was one of the original pur-
chasers and is now a member of the
House of Commons for the constitu-
ency of Humboldt. These two mem-
bers were asked across the House by
Mr. Foster, if they could deny that
they had personally profited by the
transaction. Neither gave such a con-
tradiction, though Mr. Turriff said
that he was not concerned in the deal
during the first two weeks after the
purchase. It is supposed that both
have been very Much concerned since,
and have obtained their fair share of
the one Million and a half to two mil-
lion dollars profit which parties con-
tracting with the Government have
already made.
1 --regarding the decision of the On-
to/ io
n-tario Government to viede the Gillies
wain€rail limits kr the benefit of the
peaple, the Weekly ,Stip has this to
say :-By dee/sting that the entire re-
, turns of the mineral production of the
location, less Bost of operation, me to
he 1eiained fear the people, Mn Whit-
nay laas fulfilled to the limit, so far rte
this pat tic ular transaction is concern-
s c=al, his pledge to administer the affairs
of the i fQavilaee in the interests of the
whole pr+sire. The indi*tcet conse-
quences of the act will, pottraps, be
imore important than the direct re-
sults. lir. Whitney has. by what he
THE NEW SCHOOL BILL.
bre property of the Public school sup-
porters of the rural schools of the
whole county, and, according to the
equalized e5secslilents, at 511111 ivhielt
shall be at least the equivalent of all
special grants made by the Legislature
to the rural Public schools of the coma
ty, and such sum shall be payable to
the trustees in the same proportion ars
the special grants are apportioned.
The township levy of $150 for each of
its Public schools is raised to $250, and
an additional sunt of $150 is to be
levied for every assistant teacher.
These sutra are to be applied exclu-
sively to teachers' salaries, It is feu -
titer provided that, in addition to the
sero provided by t.ite township council
towards each teacher's salary, the
trustees of every rural school section
shall pay annually to the teacher
where there is only one, and to the
head teacher where there is more than
one, at least the sum mentioned be-
low, subject only to it proportionate
reduction in case the whole year's
salary does not become due, that is
to say:
(a) '1'tvo Hundred and fifty dollars
where the assessed value of the taxa-
ble property of the Public school sup-
porters in the section is at least
$160,000. .
(b) Two hundred dollars where such
• assessed value is at least $80,000 but
less than $100,000.
(e) One hundred and fifty dollars
where such assessed value is at least
$40,000 but less than $S0,000.
(d) One hundred dollars where such
assessed value is at least $30,000 but
less than $10,000.
(e) Fifty dollars where such assessed
value is less than $30,000, and $150 to
every assistant teacher, whatever such
assessed valve may be.
In providing the foregoing suets the
section's board will, of course, use the
county and legislative grants, as well
as any other means of income besides
at section tax.
Considerable interest attaches to
the Education Bill now before the
Legislature. The bill proposes to
abolish the County and City Model
Schools and establish additional Nor-
mal Schools. No more third-class pro-
fessional certificates will be issued,
and the graduates of the Normal
Schools will be given an interim sec-
ond-class certificate to become perma-
nent after a certain probationary
period. This is a plan which must
certainly raise the standard of the
teaching profession, particularly as
the Normal School course will occupy
a year.
The Act respecting the Department
of Education, as explained by the
Minister of Education, provides in the
first place for the appointment of a
Superintendent of Education and the
establishment of an advisory council
subject to the Minister of Education
and any Acts or regulations in that
behalf.
The advisory council will consist of
17 members, 15 being elective and two
ex -officio. The Iatter will be the presi-
dent of the University of Toronto,
who will be chairman, and the super-
intendent of Education, who will rep-
resent the Minister, but without vote.
Three additional members will repre-
sent the University of Toronto and
three will represent Queen's Universi-
ty, McMaster University and Ottawa
University, one each. Two members
will represent the High school teach-
ers, four the Public school teachers,
one member the Separate school
teachers, and two the Public school
inspectors. The school representa-
tives will all be elected by closed bal-
lot papers. Every teacher who holds
a permanent certificate and who is en-
gaged in teaching and every Public
school inspector while in office will be
qualified to vote for the respective
representatives, The first election
will be held next October. The ad-
visoiy council will be aConsultative
committee to confer with the Minister
on such subjects as he may submit to
it from time to tune, and their advice
he may either accept or reject.
The new bill makes the minimum
salary for rural teachers $300 in school
sections where the assessment of the
property of school supporters is less
than $30,000; 50 where the assess-
ment is between $30,000 and $40,000,
$100 where the assessment is between
$40,000 and $80,000, $150 where the
assessment is between $30,000 and
$' where the $100,000,assess-
anti .>110
.,
stent is at least. $100,000. The average
salary for rural school teachers under
the new Act will probably be inereas-
ewi by at least $100. The burden of
the increase will be shared by the
bythe inanici alt
G t• intent and
ae p
ties.
'The municipal council of every coun-
ty will be required to levy and collect
by an egaati i+tssoitim nt upon thi taxa.
