hound the wolves out of business from the mail and empire we hope and believo that the meth ods employed by the ontario govern ment to find out what has been going on behind the seemingly open coun tenance of the stock exchange busi ness will bring everything out of shadow and put an end either to wide spread suspicion or to entrenched ras cality if thero has been a great co operative movement to fleeco trust ing customers if bucketing has been prevalent where there was sup posed to bo actual responsible trad ing it is not enough that the sharpers be forced to reform they must be brought to justice and heavily pun ished there certainly was no inten tion on the part of the government or of any other honest folk that member ship in a stock exchange should be treated as a license to plunder people who could bo lured to do business with the holder the presumption that a coispicuou3 business is of a respectablo character and that those engaged in it are persons of common honesty is very general who doubts a broker who has taken upon himself the obligations of membership in a reputable stock exchange the con fidence thus so generally reposced in such dealers would doubtless be a temptation to men of a certain type if thero aro such men in brokerage and if they yield to the temptation they can in a time of active business in a few months build up a fortune if a few ot them work together so to abuse clients what might they not do in the way of accumulating mil lions innocent people who seek to better their lot by buying shares on a stock exchange are at the mercy of any pack of wolves that infest the mar ket also the productive business or businesses in whose shares the trad ing is heavy may suffer very great damage and tho public credit itself be impaired we have a mining indus try in this province that has been wonderfully progressive there is every prospect that if that industry receives from all hands the fair treat ment that it has had from its most enterprising men the men who have staked large capital sums upon their faith in it it will be the source of vastly increased wealth in the next few years and will be a permanent source so both from regard to its duty to protect the saving citizens of ontario and in pursuance of its steady policy to keep our mines flow- lug sources of wealth the ontario government is bound to see that the people who invest in the shares of our mining corporations get a square deal from the brokers to whom they entrust their orders but there must be no sparing ot the men who have been false to their trust as

go far to re volutionize transportation in canada the hudson bay railway and the new welland canal will be com pleted and inaugurated this year on a third the cliiguecto canal in nova scotia a physical survey started some time ago will be completed all that remains to be done on tho hudson bay road is some ballasting but this will be completed in advance of the formal opening july has been suggested as an appropriate date for the ceremony but those familiar with tho district report that that is a very- bad time because black lies aro then mobilized in battle array it is more likely to be in august the comple tion of the railway is of course only one step in the development of the hudson bay route because elevator and other terminal facilities must be completed first it is hoped however to be able to move a part of the 1931 crop by that route to the ocean the date of opening the new wel land canal is somewhat uncertain ex cept that it will be next summer considerable work has yet to be done on the new transfer terminal for lake traffic at prescott five millions will be spent this year mainly in ele vator accommodation the prelimin ary works and railway layout are now pretty well completed when the job is finished the big lake boats which now stop at port colborne will come down east as far as prescott the chignecto canal in nova scotia is not yet in the stage ot
