M. Smith, De puty Minister of Highways for On- tario This expenditure was divided between 43,361 miles of township roads, 7,941 miles of county roads and 2,977 miles of King s highway. nn nur main `highways. 2.318.5 L This must be maintained, as well as the 659.4 miles unpaved.

As maintenance, is in- cluded the entire upkeep of the right- of way from fence to fence, in addi= tion to the road surface. Snow re- moval and sanding of the highway are further outlays chargeable to maintenance. Last year the Govern- ment contributed either as direct ex- . penditure on our highways or as as- sistance _to municipalities, the sum oi $3,547,076.52 for maintenance alone. In addition, the department pays 8U per cent. of the cost of construction on main highways, and from 40 per cent. to 50 per cent. of the cost of construction on secondary roads, a sum which last year amounted to $.11,715,833.36--a total expenditure including municipalities and pro- vince of approximately $23,000,000, the province contributing 66.3 per cent.

Generally municipal and provincial authorities have come to the conclusion that while reduced expenditure will be made, the curtailment must not be carried to such an extreme that so- called economy becomes a future !bur It is further agreed that On- tario must maintain the -high stand- `ard she has reached in the develop- lment of road surfaces as testied to by millions of foreign motorists who pass over our highways. No expendi- ture has brought a greater return. .The `Canada Year Book of 1931 esti- [mates that $215,000,000 was expend- ed in Canada by foreign motor tour- ists in 1930. Taking into considera- tion the fact that well over 60 per cent. of the total entries came through Ontario points, it is fair to assume that well over $100,000,000 was ex- pended here. ing to note that last year through It is -rather interest _ our trafc census we determined that ` the tourist traffic did not go below ` 92 per cent. of the 19:29.

Mr. Mac- Donald himself answered this query. Those who never look back into the past, he said, will never look forward into the future. These inquiries Wlll add to the prestige of a form of re- presentative government at a time when representative government is being attacked in many parts of the world. Finally, any further informa- tion about the growth and develop- ment of Parliament cannot fail to il- history. rn\__..- _.._ :...........A....1.`I.. ........-4.....- A committee of scholars, historians I and members of the British Parlia- ment appointed by the Treasury three ` , years ago to investigate the personnel of Parliament from the earliest days ' until 1832 has now issued its in- terim report. It sannparsa that there is abundance Z64 to boas. The examinatlon of the record 01 each member's career, so far as it is possible at this date, will probably take several years anld cost something like 30,000. The Government is willing to pay its share of the ex- pense, and the chairman of the com- mittee, `Col. Josiah Wedgwood, M.P., is determined to carry on the work whatever happens. An appeal for funds has been made by the Prime Minister over the radio. uuuu-1.; - There are innumerable quest1on.~ concerning Parliament that need to `be answered, and this inquiry wui answer most of them. Why did the people wish to be represented ? When did the House of Common: first become so important that Min- isters of the Crown began to desire election thereto ?

Before the Great Reform Bi11, whose centenary has just been celebrated, the Commons were summoned to more than 250 parliaments, the member- ship of the lower house varying from 264 to 658.

Hale, of the Packet and Times, Orillia, did some night prowl- ing around `Barrie last week, and now suggests that our police do some cunbing on the curb cruisers.

Coal which is laid down in To- ronto at $7 a tom, is sold in that city and throughout the surrounding terri- tory at $14 and upwards per ton. Ths is regarded as being too great . a snread.

If the ndings of the Fuel Board are not satisfactory to the public, a request may be led with the Registrar under the Combines Act, and he is required by law to make an investigation. China furnishes new evidence that gives pause to the Darwin theory. Dr. George B. Barbour, professor 01 ` geology at Yenching University, and lecturing at the University of Cincin- nati on the nding of the skull of the Pekin Man in 1929, receives cabled news from associates at home that the unmistakable wrist bones of this citizen of 250,000 to 500,000 years ago have now been discovered. This upsets the theory that the Pekin Man, doubtless the highest specimen of his day, was only an ape man. There were plenty of ape about, as the fos- sils prove, but the -Pekin Man was no member of their fam~ily--he was prob- ably human enough to keep a few apes in a cage so the children" could learn about the lower animals. After more than a week s debate on the Imperial Conference agree- ments, the Government's position is stronger than ever. The arguments which the Liberal critics have ad- vanced have not convinced even E themselves that one mistake has been , made. In at last two speeches, , those of W. H. Moore (Ontario) and . Joseph Bradette (Norbh_Tem&skam- , ing) there has been a tendency to , praise the Government for the agree- , ments it made at the Conference. Preferences in the British market for 2 bacon, dairy products anid fruit iook 3 _ good to the constituents, Liberal ano Conservative, and it would not be surprising to see a number of L1'ber~ als vote for the agreements, or at least refrain from voting against them. j__-4 Announcement has been made of the oating of an $80,000,000 Fed- eral loam on October 31st. In a time , of world-wide stress, when it is waste- ful to raise new money in other coun- tries, `Canadian investors have proveu I themselves m-ore than equal to the need of the treasury. Already about a `billion dollars of obligations have . been refunded before reaching matur-I ity. The promptness with which the,` people have backed the Government - in nancing, demonstrates a general public condence in the future of Canada. We have no doubt but that the new $80,000,000 otation will be over-subscribed, as were each of the two loans in the past two years. `We are sufficiently hard boiled to be very skeptical of prisoners who want to organize a Bible Class in the pen. It is more than probable that the sponsors of the Portsmouth Bible Class are the kind of citizens who, 11 they were in full possession of their liberties, woulid have to be ro-ped and thrown hard before you could get lthem within 40 rods of any Bible 'Class on Sunday afternoon. Also it |is quite inconceivable that inmates who had reformed to the extent that they wished to organize a Bible Class would cheerfully accept the alterna- tive of organizing a riot.-Toronto Telegram. Our governments are blamed for not stabalizing the price of farm pro- ducts anld giving more aid to agricul- ture, but the record of expenditures by the United States during the past two years in an effort to aid agricul ure, when judged in relation to the present condition of the American. farmer, presents the best argument ` against excessive paternalism. Dur- : ing the past two and a half years government credit accommodation and ` other aid to the extent of more than ` $l,200,000,000 has been provided American farm interests. In the face of this lavish generosity there has been `a higher ratio of farm mortgage foreclosures in the United States than in Canada, and it is hand to see where the farmers who were sup- posedly being aided, have secured any lasting benets. A large share of this credit was extended with a view to stabalizing commokiity prices, a goal that was attempted through large purchases of wheat and cotton. but this effort, while it seemed tem- porary successful, has actually result- ed in increasing the world stores of these products, and in the n'al an- alysis these holdings are a threat against the farmers they were design- ed to aid, and still have a tendency to keep world prices in a depressed ` state. T.he -result in South II-Iuron will nat- I urally be ldisappointing to the Govern- ment and encouraging to the Opposi- tion. But its importance need not be exaggerated. . Any Government in office at the present time has to bear the brunt of discontent with economic conditions.--Wim1ipeg Tribune. noon. A.necn?nnr BARRISTBR, SOLIOITOR, NOTARY DI. E.
