rev g f gorman gradlegrave utopia dream says minister dreams of a s50amonth pen sion to everyone over 65 years were rightly blasted last week bv hon w a goodfellow minister of public welfare in a speech made at kitchener such a scheme he said would cost about 840000000 more each year than the government takes in annually in revenue figures showed the cost of such pensions would be s240000000 a year annual revenue of the ontario government is about 200- oooc0o a year he said au idealistic dream although he believed some sort of social security scheme was coming the cradletothegrave utopia was just an idealistic dream which could never come true the cabinet minister emphasized that any social security scheme should be on a contributory basis probably a certain percentage of the individuals income paid in annually mr goodfellow said no system should be established where all would get the same amount and that amount should only be at a subsistence level efforts would have to be made to encourage thrift insurance and other methods of supplementing any payments from a social secur ity system he said i on display today jftitst jfmest at lowest cost 2e jvew chevrolet and only

sjestiuv r proved certisafe hydraulic brakes chas cooper claremont ontario h more pay less cost by r j deachman you may be shocked when i suggest that we ought to pay our mps 10000 a year wait a moment there is a codicil in this idea it may be more difficult to add a codicil to an ideal than to a will there are 272 members in the house of commons each is paid 6000 per year a total of 1032000 if we reduced the number to 150 and paid them 10000 a year the work would be done more efficient ly the cost would be 1500000 per year the saving appeals to my scotch sense of thrift now we know how to be more generous and more thrifty at the same time there would be other savings the members receive free steno graphic help free stationery each member of parliament should be entitled to an office some under present conditions are forced to double up even treble up no member can do a full days work if he has to share his room an mp should have time to think thinking alone can give us a better house of commons i am serious about it the 10- 000 salary under this plan would cost less than 6000 old style yet more work would be done it would bring into the house of commons a higher type of representative with 6000 of which approximately 2000 will go for expenses the average business man cannot afford to accept seat in the house of commons the work of an mp is a full time task no man can render full service as a member if worried about what is going on in his own business back home under present conditions the members cannot do a full days work there are too many inter ruptions yes i know that there are over goo members in the british house of commons i have also been told that there are not enough seats for them that type of house tends to develop a num ber of hangerson men who go there for the kudos of it they may of course help to keep the majority party in power a silent tower of strength so to speak the thing we need in the house of commons is men who are will ing to work and think when i write this i am not implying that we havent men in the house who botli work and think many of them work hard and think clearly but under present conditions they havent the opportunity they would have if the total number of members was reduced to more reasonable proportions and the pay was better it may be claimed that with a small house there will not be sufficient members for committee work and to carry on the work of the chamber there will be far more time than there is now we must make allowances for speeches practically every man who is a member of the house of commons wants to make a speech if we had 150 members instead of 272 there would be less talk and more work accomplished the house of com mons should be a deliberative body not a forum of course there will be objec tions each province has the right to send a certain number of repre sentatives to the house of com mons if a percentage reduction were made all along the line it would not interfere with the relationship of one province to anothei we shall be told that this would make the constituencies too large the constituencies were never smaller than they are now if we measure size by ability to cover distance an automobile travels at least 10 miles an hour a horse trots 7 miles a man walks 4 we have reduced the size of the constituencies by approved means of commmunication but we go on increasing the number of mem bers stupid isnt it a days work in a movie studio boils down to about two minutes screen entertainment
