m-mwmumw; mmsmw’mm During the recent provincial election campaign there was much talk about alleged tollâ€"gates in connection with the liquor bought by the Ontario Liquor Commission. The sugâ€" gestion was made that influence was necessary to assure the purchase of any particular brand of liquor by the Comâ€" mission and that to secure the necessary influence the payâ€" ment of certain tolls or charges was required. Mr. Hepburn and his fellowâ€"campaigners promised an investigation into what they termed the "liquor tollâ€"gate charges." In the meantime, however, the tollâ€"gate charges have been left to await the outcome of other charges and other political enâ€" quiries. Now, however, Judge Ross, of St. Thomas, has been commissioned by the Hepburn government to conduct an enquiry into the soâ€"called tollâ€"gate charges. Mr,. A. G. Slaghtâ€"is to act as counsel for the government, or it might be said, for the prosecution. If th‘s particular enquiry does not disclose more wrongâ€"doing than shown by the other public enquiries carried on so far for political effect, then the matter will certainly not be worth its cost. The public in general is not greatly interested now in these political enquiries. So far they 'have assumed so comâ€" plete a political cast that they have lost the power to imâ€" press the people. The "tollâ€"gate" charges may or may not prove différent to the previous allegations on which engquiries were based. There @s, however, one point on which there will be very general regret. That is the fact that the tollâ€" gate charges are strictly restricted to affairs only to the end of last year. There would be much increased interest if the.scope of the judicial enquiry were to include all matters in connection with the liquor question up to the present..â€" The rumors of a tollâ€"gate in regard to liquor matâ€" ters have :not ceaseq with the change of government. Reâ€" ports have been current that there has been some sort Of 2 toliâ€"gate in regard to the issuing of the wine and beer licenses.

In both cases the onus the truth or falsity of charges made. It does not seem that buck may say is not official. This is a polte way of saying for the disorder and breach of law was piated on men O As the campaign opens for the coming election the deâ€" tails of the record of the council will no doubt be given in detail. The men who were so critical of others will not likely .escape the dissecting of their actions and motives. In the meantime, it seems to be incumbent on each and every citizen to take an active interest in the municipal situation and to assure the best possible councii for 1935. There are forces at work now to capture the municipal council for the coming year for their own purposes,. These forces care little whether it be a venal or simply 9.rJ inexâ€" perienced and fcolish type of council. The plan is to serve certain private and improper ends. The people in general, â€"the ratepayers who wish the town affairs well conducted and the town itself orderly and decent,â€"should give time and attention necessary to make certain of the fact that the 1935 council will be one of goodâ€"will, efficiency, honesty and fairness to all. No good citizen should leave it to others, but should take keen and active part himself and herself to assure for the town of Timmins a truly representative coun. cil for the coming year. t.on, the new town hall, the reduction in civic staff, the lowering of costs,â€"all heralded with brass band tacticsâ€" have one by one proven impractical or impossible of accomâ€" plishment. It is only in the last few months that the police department has been able to recover from the disâ€" organizatitn into which it was wantonly and unnecessarily thrown by the action of the council. The fire department has been similarly weakened by the improper interference of the council and will take time to return to its former efficiency and harmony. ~One of the chief criticisms made of the 1933 council by the present members of the town council was the suggestion that the old council was not responsive encugh to the wishes of the people. The truth is that never in the history of the town has there been a council that so openly flouted the wishes of the people as the present council. It will be recalled that some weeks ago the largest petition ever presented to a T:mmins counâ€" cil, backed up by representatives of the board of trade, the Canadian Legion ang other important bodies and individual ratepayers, was flouted without even the courtesy of explanâ€" ation or excuse. The record of the present council seems to be a succession of blunders, too often apparently from illâ€" will as much as from error. Of course, the present council has done :some things well, but this has apparently been when they followed the commonâ€"sense procedure of preâ€" vious councils,, and that is something that the 1934 council has appeared to wish to avoid. It is quite a number of years since Timmins had a counâ€" cil that promised as much at the opening of the season and had as little to show at the close. Starting out on the false assumption that whatever had been done in the past was wrong, the 1934 council has shown little originality, exâ€" cept in making mistakes Unfortunately, the only new thing the new council has given the town is a strange spirit of rudeness and illâ€"will. Economy was the excuse at the opening Oof the year for actions that ssemed detrimental to the best service of the town. As the months have passed, however, economy has apparently been forgotten and the costs of the various services have increased without any inâ€" crease in efficiency. Other promises have been equally neglected. â€" The road to Sudbury, the increase in mine taXxaâ€" many important questions the present council has created unnecessary illâ€"w.ll and enmity and generally it may be that the=town is in much more undesirable condition than it was a year ago. It is a wellâ€"known axiom of democracy that the people have a right to make a mistake. The right to make the mistake of electing the wrong type of men to the town council may be conceded, but it would appear to be folly to allow the error to be repeated. With‘h ‘a few weeks the citizens of Timmins will have opportunity to remedy the mistake made last year when a group of most unsuitable men were allowed to take places on the town council. The year has been one of comic Opera when solid sense and patriotic action were needed. ‘The antics of the council and the absurdity of most of the attiâ€" tudes assumed during the year may be amusing, but it must be rememhered that the town has had to pay a heavy price for the.comic bpera. Not only has taxation been increased at a time when there was reason to expect a reduction in rates, but there has also been a spirit of bitterness aroused that previously was lack:ng in the town. its attitude on Canadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year United State#â€"$3.00 Per Year Timmins, Ont., Thursday, Nov. 8th, 1934 CURTAINS FOR COMIC OPERA A newspaper heading says that a magazine salesman wWAS committed for trial at Haileybury. Yes! but not simply for being a magaz.ne salesman. Buy a Poppy on Saturday! Wear a Poppy on Saturday! This is but a small thing to do in remembrance of the 60,â€" 000 Canadians who gave their lives overseas in the battle for the safety of others. It is but a small tribute to the 600,000 ‘gallant Canadians who enlisted in the great war. It is but a small return to the 160,000 Canadians who reâ€" turned injured or disabled from the battle. Buying a pOoppy means helping the disabled veterans who make the poppies. It means contributing to the ass:stance of the returned soiâ€" diers and their families who may be in need. Buy a poppY on Saturday! Wear a poppy on Saturday! E. L. Banner has been appointed manager of the Old Home Week to be held at North Bay next year. That looks like a good start. The parade should be all right with good Banner at the head. Word this week from Toronto is to the effect that Premier Hepburn is likely to ask for Hon. Mr. Roebuck‘s resignation. Hon. Mr. Hepburn is said to be annoyed at Hon,. Mr Roeâ€" buck because he has been talking too much. It would be more to the premier‘s credit if his grievance aga‘inst the Attorneyâ€"General was that this official had failed to act when he should have moved for the protection of loyal, lawâ€"abiding people. 2 en oi o oo e oo e oo o e t fGRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACEP Word from Cochrane is to the effect that the trouble in regard to the bush workers is over and the men are back At work. Somewhat s.milar reports come from Sault Ste. Marie. For this no thanks are due the authorities, though it is cheerfully admitted that the police did all they could to protect decent people, and Hon. Peter Heenan did his best to help the workers to a settlement. Neither Hon. Mr. Heenan nor the police were able to do much, for two reasons. One of these reasons was the fact that the trouble was no labour dispute but simply a pastime of the red element. The othéer reason was that the local authori‘es did not have the supâ€" port of the Attorneyâ€"General in Toronto. "God bless you!" the Attorneyâ€"General had said some months ago to the people responsible for the trouble. "We have the fear of the reds in the Attorneyâ€"General," the alien agitators Ssaid, as they prepared to carry on to the limit the policy of stoning the police, terrorizing the workers, looting camp stores and generally having what they cons.der a good time. Not only were men threatened if they remained at work, but there were a number of cases of actual violence, with one conâ€" tractor and a camp clerk seriously injured. A number of camps were looted, and in general affairs were under the direction ‘Oof the reds in the background. Through it the Attorneyâ€"General had the effrontery to continue saying that there was no serious trouble, The Attorneyâ€"General was apparently tim‘d enough about his own safety, but whale of a brave fellow when it was only some decent loyal citizen who was being beaten up or ordered about in his country by aliens. In the meantime the Attorneyâ€"General talked about "strikers‘" and "strikeâ€"breakers." As a matter of fact there were no "strikeâ€"breakers," but rather decent, loyal fellows who wanted to remain at work but were orcerâ€" ed around by a group of malcontents. Neither was there a "strike" but rather a walkâ€"out, largely forced by violence and threats of violence. Any gr.evances the men had were lost sight of in the situation that developedâ€"a situation seldom paralleled in British territory. The ocutcome was inâ€" evitable. Eventually the patience of a lawâ€"abiding people was exhausted. When a crowd of thugs attacked the police at Cochrane last week the cit:zens took a hand and assisted the police to clear up the whole situation. It only took a few minutes. Faced by the viclence they had been so free to use upon others the thugs ran so fast that few of them could be caught. Only a few were placed under arrest and these were left to their fate. The bold pirates of the Norâ€" thern bush, those who had whispered violence to others tor months, failed to â€"return. Instead they sent a woman to see to the concluding of what the men had started. The Attorneyâ€"General can not plead that he was not inâ€" formed of what was going on. At the very start of the trouble Mr. Wicks called the attention of the Attorneyâ€" General to the thuggery commenced, and aAsked for proâ€" tection. Later a leading Liberal at Iroquois Falls, himself a respected union labour man, wrote the Attorneyâ€"General explaining the actual situation in the North. Settlers in the North who were interfered with also communicated with Toronto and asked for protection. The man who was stern and indignant because Stratford citizens chased a mischiefâ€" maker from their city, could ncot see any particular harm or damage in loyal men be‘ng beaten up, goods stolen and other depredations committed, All that the people of the North asked of the Toronto authon.ties was that decent lawâ€"abiding men should be alloweq to go about their affairs unmolested. The police would have been glad to have seen to this had they been left alone. Contrary to the suggestions Of some of the authorities in Toronto no one desired the police "to take sides‘". in any labour dispute. They did expect the police to be left free tou see that law and order were maintained. The police would have been able to do this without any diftiâ€" culty had they been untrammelled. As it was, however, it looked for a time as if it would be necessary to call out the militia to assure the safety of ordinary decent, lawâ€"abiding men, women and children. Cochrane, however, had to clean up on these fellows once before, and they know how to do it and do it well. It is a disgrace to the country, however, that c‘tizens should be forced to take such action, The Advance would emphasize the fact that the police were not to blame. They did their best under the handicaps forced upon them. Mwmchmmm.ndpmmsv Att.ms date it is not likely that any money wW.ll be returned to the province or anyone sent to jail, even though it shoul4y be shown that the alleged tollâ€"gate charges were true, In the case of the suggestions that there has been a tollâ€"gate for wine and beer licenses, much gocd would be done by provâ€" ing the reports either true or false. If the reports are falise, awarded to people utterly unworthy according to the reâ€" cords, and who were not favourably reported upon by Liberal party leaders in the localty concerned, If the charges were proven false, it would also relieve some good citizens from the evil aspersions cast upon them by those who may have ulterior purposes to serve. If the charges on the other hand were proven true, it wouid likely be found that the keepers of the tollâ€"gate were not local people at all, and the public would certainly be (nterested in knowâ€" ing who they really were. Has the Hepburn Government the courage to have a real iInvestigation into the alleged tollâ€"gates that may have been kept not only under former governments but also under the present administration? There will be no prize for the answer to that question. It is too easy. ) particular purpose will be served by an enquiry into the "I don‘t see any sign of the promised new town hall," says a ratepayer. Why friend didn‘t you . see the sign, “Hqtel de Ville?" It could only happen at the Hotel de Ville:â€""You‘re absoâ€" lutely incompetent and worse. Here‘s $500.00 as a mark of appreciation for your good services." that Hon. Mr. Roebuck has been talking too much. When Hon. Mr. Hepburn turns to politeness, what does it signify? Class Firstâ€"M. G.
