* | »ELMIRA WILL HOLD A REUNION ||public opinion.~ â€" â€" The Canadian National Railway Board is composed of a President of high standing and experience and other experienced railway officials and business men: It was this Board program of extensions which the House of Commons endorsed but which has been nulliâ€" Red by the Senate‘s nction. _. . Failure to authorize the expenditure of the funds required to carry out the carefully planned extensions is to be regretted. If the Cearfadian National Railways are to be adequateâ€" ._ _ "Thousands of Saskatchewan farmers are unable to produce to capacity because of the distance from transportation facilities, people in large areas being up to sixty miles from the railway. Many of the proposed lines were projected years ago and settlers went into the areas believing that a railway would soon be built. This Government is convinced that if the Senate‘s action causes abandonment of construction program material logss of popuâ€" lation in these areas will result,. Also would urge that these areas are among the most atâ€" tractive for new immigrants when transporâ€" tation facilities are provided." The action of the Canadian Senate in throwing out the bill authorizing the expendâ€" iture of upwards of twenty million dollars for extensions to the Canadian National Railways has raised a storm of protest in many quarters. Their action, it is claimed, will seriously retard the development of Canada particularly in the West. The Government of Saskatchewan has sent a telegram to the Dominion Government asking it to exert its influence to overcome the situation created by the Senate‘s action which is causing considerable dissatisfaction in the West. The telegram reads: . Dominion Day, the anniversary of the birth of this sturdy young natfton, was royatlly celebrated throughout the length and breadth of ~Canada on July 2nd. And well it might. Not in the Old World or in the New is there a fairer land or one more rich in the bounties of nature. Canada is blessed with every material advantage necessary to the building up of a great nation, having untold resources of land, forest, mine and water which are capable of great development. M Hand in hand with the development of this land of promise should go the building up of a citizenship, sturdy and self reliant and worthy of the magnificent heritage which is ours. The inculcation of high ideals and right ideas of citizenship is seriously engaging the attention of leaders in many fields of endeavor, and rightly so. Only in this way can we develop a truly great nation. ~ Although many believed that the majority of Mr. Homuth, the memberâ€"elect, would be reduced, the big inroads made on the majority of the Labor member was one of the surprises of the election. The reduction of the previous large majority of 4,000 by which Mr. Homuth won the election four years ago: to the narrow margin of thirteen, was a notable turnover and showed in an unmistakable way the change of feeling in regard to the Farmerâ€"Labor Govâ€" ernment and its representative in South Watâ€" erloo. | SENATE THROWS OUT C.

Assurances have been given that there is to be no election in the immediate future and the return of such a small body of Liberals in Ontario will not encourage an early appeal to the electorate, Premier King has assured the House that redistribution would be brought the Government to hold an election. __ ‘The vote indicates that a considerable number who voted dry some years ago were evidently converted to the idea that Governâ€" ment control of liquor would accomplish better results than the legislation which has been in force: The future will disclose the effectiveâ€" ness of the new legislation which is shortly to be introduced. 1 ‘ The bill which it is anticipated, will shortâ€" ly be passed by the Manitoba Legislature, will provide for the sale of liquor in Government stores, the control to beâ€"vested in a commission of three persons to be appointed by the Goveinâ€" ment.
