The Government has proven its good faith and also its ability by the reâ€" voking of the duty on glass. The chief objection to protective tariffs has been | the claim that the duty has been added on the price of the home manufactured article and so the consumer has been far from protected. When Sir John A. Macdonald first evolved the idea of the national policy of protection, his idea was to protect the struggling young industry from the "dumping" !tactics of foreign nations, while at the same time the consumer would also be protected from the greed of the home manufacturer. The present Bennett administration has proven that they favour a real national policy of protectionâ€" policy that will truly protect, not only the manufacturer and the labourer who works in the factory, but also the ordinary, everyday consumer, the felâ€" low who seems hitherto to have been more or less forgotten in the whole matter. | The increased duties on window glass approved at the last session of Parâ€" liament have been revoked. This acâ€" ticn constitutss the first defiinite step of this kind by the Government to protect the consumer against enhanced prices of commodities the duties of which were increased. The acticn, according to an official statement, issued by Sir George Perley, Acting Prime Minister, Thursday of last week, follows on receipt of comâ€" plaints that the prices of ordinary window glass to the consumer has been doubled since the special session of Parliament. Enquiry by the Governâ€" ment it is stated, resulted in the conâ€" clusion that no active steps have been taken to produce glass in Canada by those having factories here. The step taken follows on an exâ€" change of cablegrams between memâ€" bers of the Government here and Preâ€" mier R. B. Bennett, in London. The duties on window glass now reâ€" turn to what they were before the special session of Parliament, namely 7 1â€"2 percent, under the British preâ€" ference, 12 1â€"2 percent, under the interâ€" mediate, and the same unrder the general tariff. The schedules approved at the last session divided the commoâ€" dity into classes and fixed specific rates which were a great deal higher than those which had been effective. Strenuocus debate followed the introâ€" ducticn of the new glass schedules into the House of Commons, Premier Benâ€" nett read to the House a letter from the Canadian Libbyâ€"Owens Sheet Glass Company, Ltd., in which that comâ€" pany undertook to take immediate steps to bring their factcries into operâ€" ation if the increased duties were granted. Mr. Bennett explained to the House that a Belgian glass cartel had Orderâ€"inâ€"Council setting forth that it | has become apparent that considerable time will elapse before producers in Canada of ordinary window glass will | be able to supply the demand; and in the meantime it is right and conducive to the public good that the ultimate consumer of this commodity and the users thereof in Canadian manufacâ€" tures should be protected; and that the duty on common and colourless window | glass under item 318 shall hereafter be the rates applicable prior to the special session viz: 7 1â€"2 percent, preferential 12 1â€"2 percent intermediate and 12 1â€"2 Ipercent. general. ‘ "The Cabinet has therefore passed an succeeded in closing out the Canadian glass industry. The object of the inâ€" creased duties, he said, was to revive this industry. There was to be no inâ€" creased price. "During the special session when the increases in the tariff were under disâ€" cussion, the Prime Minister stated reâ€" peatedly that the Government would not permit consumers to be exploited or charged unfair prices, and that if anything of that sort were attempted, the Government would exercise its power to reduce the rates of duty. Complaints have come to the Governâ€" ment that the price of ordinary winâ€" dow glass to consumers has been douâ€" bled since the special session, and after inquiry the Government has learned that no active steps have so far been taken to produce glass in Canada by those having factories here. Under the circumstances, the Prime Minister was communicated with by cable and he replied, stating again definitely that glass users must not be exploited and that therefore the duty should be reâ€" duced as being the only way to protect them under present conditions. "This action is taken in accordance with the settled policy of the Governâ€" ment as stated many times definitely by the Prime Minister himself, that we wish to encourage in every way the production of everything that can be reasonably produced in Canada, but at Cabinet. Sir George Perley Emâ€" phasizes Fact That the Consuâ€" mer Must be Given Protection. er to reduce elt that the GONNNUED AGCTIVITY 1N MINING INDUSTRY HERE _ The new crusher plant and mill exâ€" tension at the Teck Hughes Mine is nearing completion, which will materâ€" ially increase their power demand withâ€" in the next few months. In tht Porcupine district, increased activity is also most noticeable, the reâ€" building of the Dome Mill and the conâ€" struction of the new Mill at the McInâ€" tyre Mine being outstanding features, which will naturally call for increased power requirements. The Noranda Mine in the Province of Quebec is steadily adding to its utilizaâ€" tion of power, while the operations at the Amulet continue at the full capaâ€" | city of their equipment. [ The Tough Oakes Mine in Kirkland ! i | 5 Lake has been reopened, operations beâ€" ing conducted by the Bunker Hill Exâ€" tension Mines and satisfactory progress is being made in the exploration work which they have undertaken, and there is every probability that their Mill will be in operation in the near future. We have inaugurated a new optional residential rate, which will undoubtedly ‘ increase the use of power in the homes of the residents of our territory, judgâ€" ing by the experience of our own and : other electric companies. Quarterly Letter from Canada Northern Power Corporation Refers to Promâ€" ising Situation of Basic Indusâ€" try of the North. In the letter accompanying the quarâ€" terly dividends on the preferred stock in the Canada Northern Power Corporâ€" ation, the viceâ€"president and gengral manager B. V. Harrison, refers to the situation in regard to the basic indusâ€" try of this North, mining. The letter in part reads:â€" The basic industry of the district served by your Company, viz Mining. continues to be quite active, the market for gold being unaffected by business depressions, in fact, the low price of other commodities. rather benefits the gold industry. As will be seen by the following comâ€" parative figures, the gross earnings of our Company continue to show an inâ€" crease, being $3,149,736.02 during the twelve months ending August 3ist, 1930 as compared with $3,117,680.30 during that period in 1929. The expansion programmes at the established mines served by our Comâ€" pany are making excellent progress, notably at the Lake Shore Mine in Kirkland Lake, where their new millâ€" ing equipment is being installed, their connected load having been increased by 2,000 H.P. during September. At Noranda we opened a store on September 2nd, for the sale of electric appliances, which brings up the number of similar stores to ten. Our new plant at the Upper Notch is practically completed, making available 13,000 additional horse power which will enable us to meet the demands indiâ€" cated above. The Company‘s Pulp Mill continues to be cperated at capacity and our various plants are being maintained in a satisfactory condition. Abitibi Canyon Scene of Great Activity Now (From The Cochrane Post) Ths Abitibit Canyon, some seventy three miles from Cochrane is toâ€"day one of the busiest spots in Canada. In slizhtly more than 2 months, the Dominâ€" ion Construction Company have transâ€" formed what was virgin bush into a veritable hive of activity. The Comâ€" pany‘s camp is located in a natural amphitheatre. The buildings, which are of a semiâ€"permanent construction are built on the slope of the ridge that separates the camp from the Abitibi river, about a quarter of a mile distant. Surmounting the top of the ridge are a numbsr of cottages to house the offiâ€" cials of the company and will later be used as residences by the permanent staff emploeyed in the powerâ€"house, Here also is the twentyâ€"five thousand gallon water tank to which water from the Abitibi will be pumped for the use of the camp, after being first chlorinâ€" ated to make it safe for use. Lower down on the slope are staff bunkhouse, the two large cookeries, each seating three hundred men at a time, the staff cookery, the main office building, the employment office, the camp store, the foremen‘s bunkhouse, the post office, warehouses, etc., and also two large bunk houses for the men, each over three hundred feet long. The men‘s bunkhouses are divided into sections, each one accommodating sixteen men. and will be equipped with shower baths, running water, and sewerage, as will all the other buildings. While much of what has so far beeit accomplished is more of a preliminary character, the actual work of building the dam is proceeding. On each side of the river, excavating is being done for the dam itself, while a shaft is being sunk through solid rock, from which the tunnels will be cut to take the water of the river while the dam | is under construction. The shaft has| reached a depth of over fifty feet, and the tunnels, when completed, will have a total length of over twentyâ€"two hunâ€" dred feet. A large bank of gravel for use in the building of the dam and power house is being built up, gravel coming from the pit at mileage 94 on | T. N. O., and is coming in at the rate of several trains per day. The main activities of the camp ocâ€" cupy an area of at least half as big as the town of Cochrane, while an area of three or four times that exâ€" tent has been cleared of bush, with more yet to be cleared. All the buildâ€" ings in the camp ars equipped with electric light, power coming from Island the same time protect the consumer from unfair prices." Mr. and Mrs. W.

The spread of the miniature golf epidemic is proven by the fact that several youngsters in town recently have opened these miniature golf courses in their own back yards. Some of these courses are really clever imiâ€" tations of the commercial miniature courses. Ons group of youngsters even went to the extent of putting cut sign that the course could be gone over for one cent, the youngsters being reaâ€" sonable in their prices for the work and thought spent on their course. The interest which fraternal societies take in various social efforts is shown by a despatch from Brantford last week. This despatch notes the fact that the Brantford lodge of the I1.0.0.F. has contributed a total of $3,000.00 to the Children‘s Aid work there. The Timâ€" mins lodge of the 1.O.0.F. has been a generous contributor to the Children‘s Aid in this district, as has also the Masonic lodges and the Moose, alâ€" though these societies have provisions of their own for specially caring for any children of their own members who may need attention and help. The atâ€" titude of the fraternal society service clubs and other organizations shows the increasing foresight that is being eviâ€" denced for the welfare of the citizens of the future. pictures, landing ho milés frot to be buil
