stouffville people as she cruised over toronto on monday morning one man who has enjoyed relaxa tion since july 2s is premier king nearly nine years of premiership carry with them more than the honor of otlice 1robably no prime minister was a more indefatiguable worker than mr king a corps of half a dozen secretaries were among the hardest laborers of the capital during his regime his energy seem ed inexhaustible when the campaign ended ho journeyed to his estate at kings- mere and there except for clearing up his desk has been enjoying respite from the responsibilities of oilice mr king and the liberals came into power at a time of business de pression they rode upward with the country on the- cycle of prosper ity and took a great deal of credit to themselves for having created that prosperity but when the cycle mov ed on remorselessly again to some thing like depression the conserva tives blamed the liberals for hard times mrbennett and the conservatives are going into power at a time of business depression but in the words of the popular song now cur rent good times are coming and mr bennett and his colleagues will no doubt not fail to point the moral but hard times will come again re cent events having demonstrated that business cycles are still with us and then no doubt mr bennett and the conservatives will blame world conditions and the liberals will blame the conservatives canada has its ups and downs though mostly ups whether con servatives or liberals are in power no government at ottawa has ever shown any ability to control the busi ness cycle and the degree to which any of them has modified the effect of the business cycle on canada has not varied much between govern ments of different political affilia tions nevertheless the party in power will always continue to take credit tor good times and the opposition will retaliate by waiting for bad times and then blaming them on the government it is a little game of political make believe most people know that it is but it goes on just the same and will continue until human nature and politicians change a spirited campaign is being carried on to have the new govern tueut continue hon vincent massey lu oilice as cauadas representative at london or failing that to have him return as minister to washing ton the argument is that the diplo matic service should be out of polit ies and those in it unaffected by administration changes mr massey was named o loudon by the king government after the election was announced ho was to succeed hon p c larkiu mr massey accepted the appointment but has not presented his credentials at the capital of knipire in wellinformed conservative circles it is definitely stated that mr massey will not go to london or to washington the argument that the service should be outside of politics lias not been debated but mr massey like the late mr larktn and mr marler at toklo was actually a member of the king government hon philllpe ltoy at paris has not been an active political partisan and will likely retain his post if lie so desires hut messrs marler and massey are slated as victims of the fortunes of war and politics

months ending with july totalled 4 017939 the number of pensioners 70 years of age and over has steadily increased since the old agei pension law became operative in ontario in november last the number was 15000 in december 19000 in january 22000 in march 26000 in april 29000 june 30000 and now the total is over 31000 on the other hand deaths of pensioners have averaged about 300 a month of the sum paid out in pensions during the last nine months the do minion government contributed 2- 300148 the ontario government 1379579 from provincial funds and the municpallties which meet 20 per cent of the cost of pensions contributed 91s3s5 there was some adjustment of payments as between the provinces for example ontario paid more than 17000 to the four western provinces in which old age pension acts are in opera tion and received about 2000 from these provinces the adoption of the plan for a national old age pension system such as hon r b bennett proposed in his campaign speeches thus would relieve the ontario government of an outlay of some 1s00000 per year furthermore under a national pension system the province would not collect any contribution from the municipalities towards the cost of pensions the latter thus would bo rolievod of a direct expenditure of more than 1200000 a year witli some direct obligation on a municipality it was felt a closer check would be made on all appli cations but with the county hand ling the matter such is not proving the case when professor david davenport a mulatto operated a tonsorial parlor in the shop adjoining mathers
