drop suddenly Such a high rate of speed was expected de velop in matters parliamentary that the legislators would have to wear their hats all the lime to keep their hair on Sir Robert could proceed to delouse the Government so to speak He would jam the Franchise Act through he would smash Bolsheviks lie would hustl the budget he would do this and do Uiat Well three weeks have passed and Sir Robert has done nothing to take Parliaments breath away The Fran chise Act goes by the board the still urismashed the remain intact intriguers and all Nothing has happened except the budget and that Is a standoff The only speed shown is in ending the Ses sion whicli is accomplished by he simple method of putting off ill to morrow what could be done today if the Government had courage to do it They used call Sir John Old Tomorrow and sometimes Tomorrow is a wise policy Tomorrow means wait and see let time heal the wounds But what will they call Sir Robert Probably After Tomorrow as the lotos eaters in south ern lands phrase it Of course passing the buck that is to say shifting responsibility postponing the wrath to come As an old dodge but Parliament is beginning to wonder if the people are getting wise to How much can the Government do it and get away with it Within the last month the Government has passed or will pass the buck four times which seem to be crowding the record for procrastination When I say the Government passes the buck four limes do not count the dilatory com missions and temporizing war boards and committees which are already in existence mean four new laid eggs which I name in order of their appearance First and foremost In Industrial Inresl Commission short title Whose object is to find out what labor is grouching about anil make a report on it This report may be ready in time for Parliament to act upon this session or it may not If is not so much the belter tin Government has not lost Its at At the latest It will be ready for the session by which lime the fever may be out of situation knows of course what la matter with labor There are re ports on it already many reports from many sources all n Pally shelved and gathering dust For four years sibli men have been observing what was Ihe matter with labor and for Same length of have been prophesying how labor would cut up the war Rut seemH thai the another report to give profiteers Info to make killing The cause un rest Is continued injustice of the high cost Of living The war over war on Nobody is wil ling be the to let go Sir Joseph bacon which sen forty cents a pound in England

better than that Labor retaliates in kind If the can greedy so can the Ingrnan There Is more feeling than thinking behind the worklngmans demands There Is ameasure of in wages lie asks for and who can blame him He does It in self defence There Is a show of rea son In his clamor for One lllg Union when One Rig Union already In ex istence Ion over men t to wit seems to do nothing hid skin for the benefit of its friends Give him his eight hour day his forlyfour hour week and Ids collective bargaining ami he will still cherish a smouldering re- for the wrongs he has en dured and still endures at the hands of and his tribe It speaks well for the lawabiding character of Canadian thai he handles himself with the restraint he does even in presence of Mr Arthur Who Is a queer sort of en cumber to to sun shine among the strikers The next notable case of passing the buck in Cost of Living which Is not more than three weeks Old We had a cost of living report from Mr more than five years a two volume report both ex haustive and exhausting of Which Mr spoke In praise at the time We ha1 a cost of living re port by Commissioner OConnor nol so long ago Which caused Joseph to he discovered by his And we have had several reports In between all hinting If not slating causes which are Just the same as they were before the war on ly aggravated by the golden opportunity ami he striken for the ruthless of the coldstorage brigands fids avarice has no courage at the FLOOD SWEEPS THROUGH NEWMARKET Several Bridges Washed Away back of it It refuses to lake any risks credit that is to say backs deb tor countrys and if that country defaults then Canada pays In fact it has paid already because our prof iteer has already discounted the paper at the Treasury Meanwhile the protected home market pays the top price a suffer price than Kurope pays for the leavings after export trade is satisfied This ex plains why a country of eight million people like Canada pays more for meat than a country of forty four million people like Great Britain although has only a million less cattle to draw on for its much smaller pop ulation One would almost expect these cattle come begging to be eaten at any price but takes care that that does not happen These credits are weirdest kind of finance particularly when you consider that they must be paid if ever arc paid la- goods which are fined thirty five per cent for en tering Ibis country So long as and his crowd gel this sort of help from the Government the Consumers will find hat the only way to reduce the high cost of living is to consume himself But even nere lie Is up against It for MrRowell would probably head him off with law against suicide on the instalment plan The third case of passing the buck is the budget which I need nol elabor ate here Give it oneover and you will readily see how It shifts load from the rich few to impov erished many while at the same time it says Tombrrow inequities should be adjusted right away And when budget is over the bunk will he passing The fall is he fourth case in point It is easy way of giving the members of Parliament who hungered for a four thousand dollar indemnity two twenty five hundred
