It has been shown that these two questions are closely related on many points and that they touch many other smaller isâ€" sues that are of special interest to this country. For instance the attitude of some politicians on the matter of the Transâ€"Canada highway is reminiscent of the stand of similar politicians on other questions affecting the North. Hon. Mr. King is now quoted as in fayâ€" our of the Transâ€"Canada highway, but he and all his followers voted against it at the last session. In the same way Mr. King and his satallites pretended to favour a Senator from the North Land, but always men, or woman from some other section of the province has received appointment to Ontario Senate vacancies. In other words the situation can not be escaped that the King Government, like other governâ€" ments before it, have not given the North the practical consideration warâ€" ranted. The Advance has pointed this out repeatedly during many years past and@ irrespective of the political strife of the administration that might hapâ€" pen to be guiding the ship of state at Ottawa. Recently there has been a more or less general tendency in both political parties to recognize the importance of the Transâ€"Canada highway and the serious menace of unemployment at râ€"esent throughout the Dominion. The fact that the building of the highway would be an important factor in solvâ€" ing the unemployment issue is also beâ€" ing noted by a growing number of peoâ€" ple in both political parties. The Adâ€" vance has for years been giving liberal space to the ‘Transâ€"Canada highway matter and is sure its readers are very greatly interested in the question. For this reason it is reâ€"printing herewith Intcrests of the North Land Cent: KRound This Issue. What is the Proper Stand for the Voters on the Matter. part of an editorial article from a reâ€" cent issue of The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasing. The Advance believes this Northern Tribune article to be one of the most interesting to date on the issue in its present bearings. It seems to be well worth the most careful conâ€" sideration in every detail, The Adâ€" vance would suggest that a carefu: reading of it will repay any reader. The article as appearing in The Norâ€" thern Tribune is as follows:â€" "To record a 1fact rather than to utâ€" ter boast, The Northern Tribune can probably claim to have devoted more EXISTING RATES Consumption K.W.H‘s THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO CONTROLLING AND OPERATING NORTHERN ONTARIO POWER COMPANY, LIMITED NORTHERN QUEBEC POWER COMPANY, LIMITED 593 518 space to the transâ€"Canada highway question within the last six months than any other weekly paper in Canâ€" "It has no regret for having done so. We have not purpasely avoided editoriâ€" al discussion of any other national or provincial public question in order to concentrate on the highway discusâ€" sion; but there did seem to be merit in giving prominence to an issue that very closely touches the lives and welâ€" fare of every citizen in this part of the great North, so that the urgency of its immediate construction will be emâ€" Phasized. There is some evidence that this labour was not in vain, in its local aspects. We could hardly presume for a wider audience, yet commendation has not been lacking from other centres Liberal party in Parliament to vote down the federal highway subsidy reâ€" solution) had ‘"{urnished the Opposition with a firstâ€"class fighting issue from coast to coast." It is now abundantly clear that he did that. Against this statement, we venture the opinion that probably there was more hope for the Northern routing of the highway from the late Liberal Parliament than there might be with a Conservative majority in power at Ottawa, "for obâ€" vious reasons." as well, for the arguments adduced in favour of the national highway. "Our contentions have not been parâ€" tisan, when political implications were apparent. We said three months ago that Premier King (in lining up the "The two party leaders have now made statements of their stand on the transâ€"Canada highway issue. They will bear companson. "Some weeks ago Hon. Mr. Bennett included the highway in his platform of pledges. This pledge is consistent with the vote of himself and his party in favour of it in the House of Comâ€" mons on April 10th this year, and there is no reason to doubt its sincerity. ‘"Hon. Mr. King‘s declaration wAs forced from him last week, and such as it is, it is quite unsatisfactory. He proposes to allow the mooted fall conâ€" ference on unemployment to change his mind for him, and then he will graciously accept an almost unanimous Canadian verdict and proceed with the highway constructionâ€"if the voters have trusted him again! This peculiar and circumlocutory method of changâ€" ing dignified politicians minds for them is circuitous and costly for the counâ€" try; it is much easier to let them reâ€" fiect at their own expense, and bring forth fruits meet for repentance. "The transâ€"Canada highway is no sop to be thrown to the unemployed, and brought into Parliament by the back door through an unemployment conâ€" ference to save somebody‘s dignity who cannot afford to change his mind , on too many public questions at once.

"With polling day little more than three weeks away, it seems that the electorate should by now be able to make up its mind on where the transâ€" Canada highway issue stands in this campaign, and which party deserves support therein. The Northern Triâ€" bune has withheld its own decisions until the Liberal position was discliosâ€" ed, much as it had criticized the parâ€" ty‘s previous record on it. There was still hope that a satisfactory shift of position might be made. But not now. "We have reached the conclusion that it will be necessary for those voâ€" ters who wish to have the transâ€"Canâ€" ada highway constructed as soon as possible through this part of the North, to cast their votes against the candiâ€" dates of the Liberal exâ€"Premier. , No other way seems to offer hope of acâ€" complishing that object; and that obâ€" ject transcends all others in this conâ€" stituency. We will recapitulate the reasons for this judgment, and so that the reasons themselves may carry their weight rather than the extraneous questions of how, when and by whom they are put forward. "First to be taken note of are the growing indications of Hon. Mr. King‘s pending defeat on July 28th, which would deprive him of the capacity to give his own interpretation to his beâ€" lated halfâ€"promise to grant federal aid to the cost of the national highway construction. He really appears to have no chance to make gains in any of the other eight provincesâ€"rather the reverseâ€"and in Ontario, relatively small as his percentage of seats has been, it is almost certain to suffer furâ€" ther reduction. The two Ottawa seats have an almost uncanny habit of going over to the winning side; this time they are headed back to the Tory fold. Niâ€" pissing and South Temiskaming appear to be Northern losses, with Liberal conâ€" "Should Hon. Mr. Bennett emerge victorious, carrying with him the seats of Nipissing, South Temiskaming, East Algoma, West Algoma, Port Arthur and Fort William (if not Kenora also), while North Temiskaming returned the late Liberal member who voted against the highway, what chance in the world have we up here of getting the highâ€" way routed this way? Which section would have the most influence, with Conservative governments in power at Ottawa and Toronto, and our riding in opposition? Figure it out yourself. Mr. Bradette in the role of a champion for this highway route against such odds, after he has written columns and fidence and morale waning in this North Temiskaming riding. King may lose ten seats in Ontario; and that wil} dissolve his parliamentary majority. Then his nod to the unemployment conference, to endorse the highway, will be impotent as far as he is conâ€" cemed. 9.78 2.46 9.18 2.50 Amount $1.22 REDUCTION IN ACCOUNT columns of arguments to prove that the federal government couldn‘t parâ€" ticipate in it at all, is a diverting speâ€" culation. who shall rule. These two groups have strongly favoured the national highway construction, and will be loathe to conâ€" tinue Mr. King in the premiership while he was either opposed to it, or later very luckewarm and evasive in its favâ€" our. They also jointly supported the Labour men‘s resoultion on unemployâ€" ment, over which Mr. King waxed so peevish in his "fiveâ€"cent‘" speech. Will they fight Liberal candidates and then support Liberal premier? Not unless Mr. King reduces his chest expansion considerably and radically alters his tune. The probability is that in the event of such a staleâ€"mate, the other Northern members will be out full chorus for the highway to be routed through their ridings and with a Liberâ€" al member North Temiskaming would "Suppose, however, that the federal result is different; that neither Grits nor Tories have a clear majority, but that the Farmers and Labour men hold the balance, and in effect determine A report recently received by FP.

EARLTON MAIL CARRIER PASSED AWAY LAST WEEK man, shows that Canadian entries in the Overseas Section of the British Naâ€" tional Laying Contest nmow being conâ€" ducted in the Old Country are among the leaders, holding third and fourth place respectively,. A pen of Whie Leghorns entered by C. D. Calder, of Cowansville, PQ., holds third place with a total soore of 825 points, while a pen of the same breed entered by J. C. Quandry, Port Dover, Ont., holds fourth place with a score of 782 points. The leading pen in the international conâ€" test is an entry of Rhode Island Reds from France, total score 926 points. Calgary Daily Herald:â€"A Quebec orâ€" ator has denounced Mr. Bennett as "a type of Englishman we do not like to see in this country." It is surprisâ€" ing that sort of nonsense is heard 63 years after Confederation. Mr. Morin, an old resident of Earlâ€" ton, died very suddenly on Tuesday afternoon of last week, when he ‘was seized with an attack of what was beâ€" lieved to be heart failure and collapsed at the T. N. O. station. He was 65 vyears of age and had been well known for many years in the town, where he carried the mails from the station to the post office. Second place is held by an entry of the same breed from Ireland with a total of 924 points With some weeks yet to go the position of the Canadian entries may be materially improved if they keep up their present excellent performance.
