SHAKE-UP IN Meighen Wisis- Three Out of cc Four Bye-Elections And _ Solidifies Party. Toronto World. Ottawa, Nov, 30.--Cabinet reor- ganization so essential and so long , deferred, will' be faced by the new administration without any great delay. Premier Meighen succeeded to an office precarious and trouble- same. His first care was to stabi- lize the administration. Of bye 'elections he has won substantial victories in three. His western tour * consolidated his supporters into an enthusiastic, aggressive party and stabilized his administration. He succeeded to a factional party and has within four months made him- self chief of the post powerful poli- tical force in Canada. devote himself to reorganizatiqn of his cabinet and initiation of structive measures. It cannot be denied, that reorgani- zation is essential to the further success of the new administration. Some members of the government through age or ill health, desire to retire, others perhaps should be re- tired. There should be at least five changes in the government. There Is a long, stern fight ahead of the | administration and in that fight {success can only be obtained by men {ot strong physique and mentality | who have confidence in themselves | and in whom the people have confi- | dence. In English Canada the prime minister has ample material for re- construction purposes. Quebec is Problem. It is the Quebec situation that presents the most difficult problem ito the government. The recent ru- mors regarding Quebec representa- tion were without any real founda- tion.

In Ottawa his ut- | terances are not taken as represen- | tative of Quebec. The government |is anxious that Quebec should re- {turn to its place in the political {affairs of the nation. It is also | known that some prominent Liber- |als are equally anxious for the con- | summation of the same object, but | they fear to face their constituents [at bye-elections, What Ottawa fears |is a still greater cleavage between. jhe two races. | Tariff Revision Follows. | Next to cabinet reorganization, | the tariff revision is of the greatest { importance.. This revision will be the chief legislation during the com- | Ing session. It will clearly define | the economic policy of each of the | three parties. Generalities will not be permitted. Each party must face | the question of protection for each industry. In committee the items will be dealt with separately, and a declaration of policy on goal, fruit, | woolens, cottons, machinery, boots and shoes, sugar, and indeed, every (item imported or produced, must be | discussed in its relation to the ne- | cessity of protection or as the source {of revenue. The tariff revision will | dissipate the mists that. now sur- round the practical "application of { the economic theories of Hon. W.-L. { Mackenzie King and Hon. T. A. {Crerar. This is equally true of the government direct taxation methods. There is no doubt but that the business profits tax will be dropped, and many believe the luxury tax should also be discarded ,the gov- ernment depending on customs, in- jcome and sales taxation for federal revenue. It is believed these would be sufficient to meet the require- i ments, and, with the elimination of { the business profits tax and luxury ! tax, industry would thrive, and the | difficulty of collecting federal rev- | enue be lessened.

General Manager Fol- | ger stated that unless the penitenti- ary and Rockwood were secured as | customers, there would be little reve- | nye in the extension. The facts will | be laid before the Portsmouth coun- { cil, with the intimation that owing to | ter | high costs it is impossible for the | commission to deal With the ques- tion at present. Manager Folger presented a state- ment with regard to the gas depart- ment. It is at presgnt costing $1.94 Ito produce one thousand cubic feet | of gas. The price charged the consu- jIuers is $2. The high cost was owing to the high prices of coal and oil. { When the new generator and purifier setts are in operation, Manager Fol- | ger hopes to be able to reQuce the price to consumers to $1.90, The manager reported that in 191% the electric department lost {$1,176 In suppiring the street light- ing system. Mayor Nickle asked the ion to consider the question ot accepting from the city $20,000 | for this year's street lighting. It was { conceded, the mayor said, that the | street lighting this year was not as efficient as the citizens desired, ow- ing to power conditions over which the conunission had no control. Often inany street lights were not it. In | view of this and for other good rea- |sons, the mayor thought the $20,000 | would be enough for the street light- ing this year. The other commission- | ers decided to consiger the matter. | The acquiescence of the Provincial Hydre-Electric commission will have | t@ be secured. The manager will submit at the [ next meeting of the commission a re- { port as to the cost of doing the ne- cessary underground work in streets j that the Board of Works wishes to pave next year. : -------- A SIR ADAM BECK AT HOME An unusual photo of the Chairman of | the Ontario 'HydrofCommission, show- | ing him wielding the garden rake at! hls home in Londonk Ont. ------ The demands of the employees of the Louisburg railway, have been ac- ceded to, and therefore there will be no strike in the Dominion Coal Com- pany's' mines at Sydney, C.B.
