This is vouched for by the fact that the Treasurer of the Canadian National Railways has received a total of $1,114.85 in conscience money during 1934 from persons wishing to make restitution for certain wrongs comâ€" mitted. Frequetly the remitter omits to state the exact nature of the act which caused a troubled conscience and in such cases the railway conâ€" siders the amount as "belated" pasâ€" senger revenue and it is therefore credited to that department.

Ritchie, teacher Friends of the Family OV Advertised products have a standing that commands respect. They are not nameless, but vouched for by responsible firms. The fact that they are advertised is in itself an indicition that their standards of quality are strictly maintained, that they represent honâ€" est value. Look at the packages on your pantry or bathroom shelves and see what a multitude of brand names you recognize. Some of them have been familiar for years. You may have made the acquaintance of others only a few weeks ago. But even these are not suspected strangers. You have bought them confidently because they were advertised. And it is the same with your sheets and towels, your shoes and clothes, your electric appliances, the car in your garageâ€"nearly everything you use. As science and discovery go on, newly developed products are constantly being adâ€" vertisedâ€"ready to help you save money and improve you standard of living Every adverâ€" tisement of such a product you read in your newspaper is alerter of introduction to a uew and possibly useful friend.

The annual meeting of the Grey and Bruce Mutual Fi Insurance Company will be held the Head ers. Theso revenues jumped almost a million dollars â€" $909,249, to be exact. !At the same time, the Motor Vehiâ€" cles Branch, into which motor ownâ€" ers pay their license feeg, reported an increase of a million and a half over last year. It may be significant that nearly a third of the increase is in Hon. T. B. McQuesten‘s department, due to rising gasoline tax revenues, which were the subject of special analyses and "leakâ€"plugging" by new Deputy Min‘ster of Public Works, Col. Waltâ€" ed among members of the Governâ€" ment as one big step toward the uiâ€" timate objective. The results of careful husbanding of provincial revenue resources are even more vividly displayed in a comparison of revenue total at the <nd of the first quarter of this fiscal year with the total at the end of the first quarter last year. The compariâ€" son shows an increase of $2,584,999, which is abort as encouraging a figâ€" ure as government authoritiee â€" and taxpayors threatened with addiâ€" tional imposts â€" have looked at for many a long day.

UNITED STATES‘ GREAT F PRESIDENT Today, Tuesday, Feb. 12th, United States officially observed the anniâ€" versary of the birth of Abraham Linâ€" coln. _ No president of the United States before or since has appealed Ebe Rurkum XRrview Agoes Macphaii‘s ONTARIO TORONTO The government, apparently proâ€" poses to avoid the prolonged arguâ€" ment which would result by amendâ€" ing the constitution, and is prepared to assume that where a national inâ€" terest conflicts with a local one, the former is paramount. It plans to first approve of the conventions on hours of labour and such matters arising out of the peace treaty, secondly to ratify the conventions and then to apply Section 132 of the B.N.A, Aoct. Judgments of the Privy Council in radio and aviation cases were given by the Prime Minister as proof of the right of the Federal Government to assume authority for the loguh-l tion proposed. The tedium of the learned debate was relieved by Mr. Heaps, (hbour.} Winnipeg) story of his experience with Criminal Law. He and four oth-: ers were on trial after the Winnipeg strike. The other four were defended by learned counsel, while Mr. Heapal pleaded his own case. The four 'mi convicted and Mr. Heaps walked out of court a free man, A few days latâ€" er Mr. Heaps met the judge on the street. . "It is a good thing you deâ€" said, "or you would now be doing time with the rest." And ‘Mr Heaps told the House that his respect for _ The last day of the week was a field day for eminent lawyers, Mr. Bennett, Mr. Guthrie, Mr. King and Mr. Lapointe participating. Charles Bishop in the Ottawa Citizen says it was the finest constitutional arguâ€" ment heard for many moons. It had to do with the B.N.A. Act. Canada has now decided to put in operation the clause of the peace treaty logalâ€" ising the eightâ€"hour day, day of rest, etc. There was no division as to the merits of the legislation proposed but there was a decided difference as to where rests the power to legis-; late. The Prime Minister apparently | entertained no doubt that such su'b-; ject of general national interest, comes within Federal power; while! Mr. King and Mr. Lapointe took the. opposite view, maintaining that proâ€" vincial rights were being invaded. | At the close of the debate on this particular point which had been inâ€" troduced by Mr. E. J. Garland, the Minister of Finance, Mr. Rhodes said that it might be possible to arrange to have the Farm Loan Board act in conjunction with the Debt Arrangeâ€" ment Act but warned that individual or company creditors must not reâ€" gard it as a reservoir from which can be bailed out the debts of farmâ€" ers to their creditors. \__A Frenchâ€"Canadian Liberal membâ€" |er, Mr. Bertrand of Prescott, stated |\ the case thus: "It is absolutely necâ€" 'eosary to amend the Farm Loan Act so that when a farmer makes a reaâ€" sonable offer to the Reeciver, the latâ€" ter may have the power to instruct ‘the Dominion Board to lend the necâ€" essary amount to facilitate the arâ€" rangement." Mr. Bertrand commentâ€" ted upon the Finance Minister‘s stateâ€" _ ment that at this time no such arâ€" ‘rangement can be made and strongâ€" ly urged that if the financially emâ€" barrassed farmer is to be allowed to remain on the land, that a long term loan at low rates of interest is imâ€" perative. "It would be better to have thq rate of interest made low enough to enable the farmer to keep his land and when better times come he would continue to pay his debts. In that way the lender would not lose his claim and especially the legend would not grow that we in this countâ€". ry do not pay our debts." | "If we allow our people to get the idea that the farmer also may have recourse to bankruptcy, I say quite frankly that we will never again have settlers like those of old, who have contributed so greatly to our wealth." He continued: "Our farmers still wish to pay their debts. It is considâ€" ered in cortain quarters that this Arâ€" rangement Act allows farmers to go bankrupt in the same way as other classes who have in the past caused losses to the people by selling them worthless securities and have then escaped their obligations by going bankrupt. Ottawa, Feb. 9th, 1935 * In a further discussion on the Fedâ€" eral Farm Loan Act, several membâ€" ers emphasised the need of connec ting the Debt Arrangement Act with it. That is, when the farmer has reached a settlement with his creditâ€" ors through the good offices of the Official Recciver, the farmer ought to be able to borrow sufficient money io meet his obligation under the Farm Loan Act, having the opportunâ€" ity to retire the debt over a long perâ€" iod of ycars at moderate rates of interest. It looks at the moment as though the Federal Board _ wil\ charge 5% % with the Province of Ontario paying 1 % of this, leaving the farmer an interest charge of 4% por cent.

I never havo enjoyed having my elbow jogâ€" gled while I tried to drink tea in a crush, I must say, but tea is my fayâ€" orite beversge and I hope the Prime Minister of Ontario will not prohibit teaâ€"drinking over the whole Provinâ€" ce, since that would include Ottaâ€" I was very glad to see on the front page of the Ottawa Citizen, this morning, the following stateâ€" ment: "Agnes Macphail, (Progressive Grey Southeast) last night made an explanation of a statement made some time ago, that people were kept waiting for entry to an Owen Sound hospital, until they could satâ€" isfy authoritiee of their ability to pay. Sho said she had a letter from the chairman of the board of the General and Marine Hospital at O. Sound saying this was not the case. She was sorry she had not verified the statement and had no desire to be unfair to the hospital." 1 Then too the loss of other markâ€" ets occasioned by the high tariffs aâ€" round the Empire, cannot be measâ€" vred yet. In closing I ventured the opinion that world trade was unlikeâ€" ly to reach the volume of 1929, due to the striving for selfâ€"sufficiency of all nations, and the lack of money to effect the exchange of goods. I further pointed out that in all| probability the Canadian ma.nul’act-| urer was being protected at the <>x-1 pense of the Canadian consumer and‘ the British manufacturer and recallâ€" od to the Government their refusal in 1932 to take such action in regard to Canadian money as would have made the use of the British market possible. When farm prices were at their lowest level, the government refused to depreciate Canadian cur rency, until at least until it reached a parity with the pound, and waited until the United States moved in monetary matters. | The resolution asks us to say whether or not the operation of the trade treaties has been (beneficial to Canada. I stated: " I doubt very much whether anyone can answer that question. I think it is very much too soon to know. There are many factors which we cannot weigh for a considerable time yet. If the temporary gains that have been made in hog prices â€" and I am inâ€" clined to think that the agreement had some effect on these prices â€" have been secured at the cost of dissatisfaction in Britain.....then it seems we are paying very dearly for temporary gains......If by the treatâ€" ies we have added to the cost of those things which we punchase from Great Britain, we have possibly eatâ€" en up more than all the benefits that would accrue." A member of the governing party, Mr. Harris of Toronto, asked the House by way of resolution, to ap prove of the operation of the Trade Treaties and a rather lengthy debate ensued. The government members of course defended tho operation of the treaties and the Liberals criticised their protectionist aspect. Only Mr. Woodsworth and I have spoken from th7; Independent section of the House so far and we took the position that a vote of confidence in the Governâ€" ment, moved by a Government supâ€" porter, was a most extraordinary thing. And further, that such precâ€" edent should not be established. As a protest against such tactics we proposed to vote against it. "Are we to be compelicd in this House to go on over and over again threshing the old straw of three years ago?" Mr. Woodsworth asked.
