DEATH OF JOHN McMAHON The funeral was held yesterday of the late John McMahon, who died Saturday at the home of his niece, Miss Richardson. He was the own- er-of the Doan farm, east of Auro- ra, & part of which he denated to the town as a public park when the property was subdivided. When the C. P, R. was being constructed Mr, McMahon held a position in charge of 'supplies.. On his retirement from active business, he lived for some time in Newniarket before remov- ing to Aurora. ' He resided here for the past quarter of a century, WELL-KNOWN RESIDENT PASSES At his home in. East Cornwall, Fred Piteau, a well-known resident, passed away early yesterday morn- ing. He was attending the stove and expired while doing so, His wife heard him moaning in the kit- chen, and, rushing downstairs, found her husband lying on the floor dead. The deceased was born in Rimouski, Que., and was 48 years of age, a son of the late Phil- ip 'Piteau, He was a noted local swimmer and won many contests, and frequently used his ability to save swimmrers in danger of drown- ing, When a young man he was a member of the junior teams, and was drummer in the Cornwall city band since its organization over 20 years ago. He leaves his wife and seven children, BURNED TO DEATH Fire of unknown origin cost the life of Cleophas Geneau, East Corn- wall, at Legaultville, a suburb, yes- terday. Geneau's body was found in the ruins 'of a small frame shack owned by Joseph Andre. The victim's' presence in the build- ing is a mystery, It is believed he went to' Legaultville on business yesterday morning, but apparently he had not been seen since he left his home, Authorities have, so far, been unable to determine the cause of the fire, which burned the body almost beyond recognition, Geneau came with his wife and family to East Cornwall four months ago from Summerstown Station, where he had conducted a black- smith shop for eighteen years. He was born in Glen Sandficld, Glen- garry, fifty-five years ago, a son of Mr, and Mrs. Francis Geneau, who still reside there. His widow, four sons and four daughters survive, | [lett MAKE YOUR OWN SOAP DISINFECTING LOWER TAXATION, DEBT REDUCTION Contnued From Page 4 Bennett took occasion to scout the suggestion that this visit had any relation to an altered status upon the part of Canada, the Oppositien Leader referred directly to the con- dition of trade in the country. While the Speech from the Throne had drawn attention to the "sound eco- nomic basis" of* Canadian conditions, the fact was, he declared, that Can- ada during the past year had pur- chased $50,000,000 worths more. of goods abroad than in the previous year, and had sold $80,000,000 worth less. The surplus imports had large- ly represented goods which "should have been made in Canada and em- ployment given to Canadians who are now idle." Unemployment was commented on by the Conservative Leader, who referred to the memorandum which Premier Bracken of Manjoba had forwarded to the Federal! Govern- ment asking for assistance in that Province's unemployment problem. Calgary was also mentioned as a city -which, was spending more to alleviate the problem of its work- less than it had for some time past. The railway situation was also declared by Hon. Mr, Bennett to fail to support the claim of a "sound economic basis." The net revenue of the C.P.R. had decreased during the past year by $4,700400. The net revenue of the National Railways during the same period had. similar- ly shrunk by $5,500,000. Since the National Railways had only a total net revenue of $30,000,000, it was apparent that within five years, un- less conditions changed, there would be no net revenue left at all, and this condition could hardly be ar- gued as reassuring to any degree, On the matter of the trade fig- ures themselves, Hon. Mr, Bennett emphasized that they represented to a large extent an impairment of the country's capital, "The truth is,' the Conserva- tive leader declared on' this point, "that a lesser number of people inhabiting the same area have, during the past five years, been creating new wealth more rapidly than they ever did before. They have been utilizing tly great re- suorces of science awd of scienti- fic investigation, improved mach- inery and equipment, and they have been increasing the natural wealth of the country at a very rapid rate indeed. The Customs Report "The only other domestic mat- ter on which I desire to speak at some little length is the Customs report," he went on, "In that re- spect, I am only going to say this: That no more ample vindication of the expression of opinion made by the honorable member for Van- couver Centre (Mr. Stevens) could' have been made, Nothing * more clearly indicated the conditions under which the revenues of this country were being lost to the Ex- chequer than that report, and nothing more amply indicated the wrongs which were being commit- ted under political protection and under the protection of the law in various parts of Canada: [I sup- pose my friend the Minister of Railways (Mr, Dunning) realizes what was said by counsel for the Commission at Regina when deal- ing with the cases. I suppose oth~ er gentlemen have realized what occurred with respect to prosecu- tions in the province of Quebec; and in all sincerity I say to my friend the Minister of National Revenue (Mr. Euler) that this re- port. is considered by this House, as it will be when the legislation which is to be introduced follow- ing that report, as promised in the Speech from the 'Throne, fis brought down, he will 'want to have something more to answer than the mere glorifications that have appeared in the newspapers as to the efficiency with which: his department has been' conducted. This Parliament has been flouted with respect to the Customs in- quiry. The Conservative leader ekpress- | ed himself in favor of the expendi- tur of larger sums of money for research work, and reserved his opinions upon the proposed amal- gamation of the . Departmen; of Health and Soldiers' Civil Reres- tablishment. He was amazed, however, that the Speech from the Throne had made no reference to pension lgislation, i "No Equality of Status" Then Mr. Bennett took to task the Prime Minister and the Min- ister of Justice for references he declard they had made as to Can- ada's alleged equality of status. "When we say. that we have equality of status," he said, "we saying something that is un- It is a species of de- the yo men and this country 1 of status. - There equality of status as Colonial Laws Validi- Nadan case," he went was decided that because Parliament of Canada has a statute that was repug- {nang to the provisions of a Britis statue it had no force, no power and was invalid. In the light of an equality with any other people | within' the British Empire, but | there is one thing we wil not do, and in this regard I shall in a moment quote the language of the , Chief 'Justice of Canada. We will not become parties to any subter- | fuge or any use of language which leaves the 'impression that what we aspire to has in fact already transpired. We will make no such pretense. There can be. no suh thin cgas equality of status so long as that British statute re- mains in force. h Quotes Minister of Justicee "What said thes Minister of Justice. (Mr, Lapointe) in discuss- ing this question? He advanced the view that the only means by which we might atthin the end to which we aspired was through the repeal of the Colonial Laws Val- idity Act. He said: "I think that what must be done is to repeal the Colonial Laws Validity Act, on) which that judgment, thas is, the: judgment in the Nadan case, was based.' . "Therefore, until such time as the Colonial Laws Validity Act is repealed -- and I have no doubt that members of this House would like to know precisely what the act provides--it follows that there can be mo equality. It seems to me that nothing could be more fa- tal, more injurious, than to have the younger men of this country wake up some morning and find a decision of the Suprfme Court of Ca to the. effect that' cer- tain legislation passed by this Par-. liament was invalid on the ground that it was repugnant to the pro- vision of a statute passed by the Parliament of Westminster, False Impression, Says Bennet "Nowadays, most Canadians are under the impression that such is not the state of affairs. My right honorable friend the Prime Min- ister has gone about the country and discussed the question in such. a way as to convey the impression that equality of status was an ac- complished fact. But hhat is the real state of the case? In the very report of the Imperial Con- ference the statement is made that subcommittees have been set up for th purpos of determining what should be done in the mat- ter. Under the circumstances, therefore, let us in all consiceence say to the people of the country that what really is the situation is this: That equality of status is de- gired, and hat proper measures should be taken to achieve it. | Hamilton By-Product ~ -=Coke-- * $12.50 per ton, delivered W.
