Finish, which is so important, is clearly in- dicated in the top line. Well tin- ished hogs are of medium width throutghoutt, indicating a full deep loin and 9. long well developed rump.

It is due to the watchifulness and care of Mr. Meighen and his col- leagues that the National R-ail-\va_vs have not been more seriously bur- dened and handicapped than they are. Already the capitalization of this syslteeui, due to the mad over COI1StI'UCJt,ilO11 of 20 years ago, is at least $300,000,000 greater than it should be to 1lll1l{'e the system a business plroposition and to give to the people of Canada relief from the .frei_::ht rate burden so injurious to business of all kinds and cstpecially tio interprovincial trade, one of the bonds of conxfederation. With such a. capital burden it is essential to the very existence of this sywstem that this caipitaxl should not be unneces- sarily aug-mented. To prevent this Mr. Meighen has closely scrutinized expenditure, not to deprive the people of necessary transportation fiaicilities, but to prevent political expenditure that injures the railway, deprives the people of essential ac- comumodation, and will perpetuate the freight rates burden. Last year the Government present- ed a branch lines progranmne that was stated would cost about $30,- 000,000, but which railway experts claimed would entail an ex,penwdi~tu1'e nf can nnn nnn Tn thin nrnannnvrnn UIHMIIBU.

In this prognam-me were many essential lines, but. also some of the pork barrel" variety that were unnecessary and meant, if builut, a continuous drain on the pay- ing branches for generations. The Government told Parlia.1uen't that they must vote for the whole pro- grmmne or none at all. It Was a clear nttenrpt to build political lines, by taking advantage of the necessi- ties of certain sections entitled to transportation and including the political lines in the programme of necessary lines and then telling Parliament to swallow all or nothing. No intormation was given as to cost, necessity, traffic, estimated pro- ts or deficits. The Senate refused to vote for the bill containing such pork barrel railways as the Guys- boro branch. rejected by Sir Vvilfrid Lauirier, Sir Robert Borden and Hon. Arthur Meighen.

This year the Governzment has in- troduced almost the same pro- I CONSERVATIVES AND THE NATIONAL RAIL\VAY gra.-nnne, but, despite threats to the contrary by Hon. George P. Graihr - , each branch is judged on its merits, and it is not a case of last year- all branches or none. The Senate s action last year has been justified by the Govern=ment .s surrender this year, which permits Parl-iamenut en- dorsing essential lines and rejecting pzoliticai projects. Parl-`iament. therefore, retains control of this capital expenditure to some degree. It can do justice to citizens requir- ing railway facilities and also jus- tice to the country in rejecting un- necessary ines. `\/I-nr-h ha: hpnn said of Sir `Henrv l'1(`.`CE5-S2'1l'_V 11185. Much has been said of Sir Henryl Thornton s letter endorsing the branch lines prograinnie. It bore every evidence of having been wrung from him, as it gave more reason why the programme should be careful-ly scruttinized than it gave for the endorsation of the whole proposal. It is known tlratt the Canadian National Railway oiclals, mot directors, fear the adoption of the whole prognzumne. It can be stated, and on the best authority, that leading Canaidian officials will welcome, in fact are pri\'ate.1.y asking, that many of the ipork barrel branches be rejected. It is a G1o\'ernment and Naxtional Railway directo1`ate prograinnte, not| Nzitioital t.he prograinvme desired by the rail-1 way men, who wish to make the systein a. success. Oit` course it is endorsed by the direc-tors-~that aw-| f-n1 directorate--th*at Sir Henry Thornton has to tiglrt, and whose waste and rapacity are only parallel- ed by the Drury-ISmi:t.l1-:Big.g.s com- bination that discredited and almost ruined Ontario. Sir I~Ienr~y Thorn- ton has to ght both the Govern- men-t and his directorate. Many of` the branch lines are directors lines. ma.- Tllntnhnn and his nnnnnin-for Mr. Meighen and his associates will see that every line required inl the interests of the public and the rail\v'z1_v will receive support, but they will guard the treasury, piuibliic and railway against the enemies of the National system on the Govern- ment benches and the railway (lir- ectorate who will wreck it by extra- vagance, since they failed to prevent its coaordinartion. The Governzmen-t is attemptinsg to make the `railway a. political adjunct. If this is per- mituted the railway is doomed. Wasteful exrpenditrire will wreck the system already oveitburdened with! debt. Mr. Meighen is having 21 sreater battle to conserve the Na- tional system from Grit polit-icianis that he had when he defeated their attempts to prevent its c0-ordi1ra- tion. He will see that eve't3 thinz necessary will be stippzorted and every politcal line extposed. I In the past year ending March 31, 148,560 ilmnigmnts envterecl Can-` ma.
