the tribune stouffviue ont thursday may 6 194s our capital correspondent written exclusively for the siouff- vill tribune by m l schwartz every whisper heard backstage in ottawa suggests that there is a possibility that provincial elections may occur in five provinces across canada during the next twelve months and that a genera election may be in the making either this fall or early summer of next year with the result that the political air is now what may be termed overcharged with political rumors to uch an extent that the man-in- thestreet can easily be confused unless he is told what is really be- ing talked about in wellinformed circles along parliament hill it can be reported that the gen eral election machinery is definitely being put into shape here so that an appeal will be possible within three months after all the current amendments to the dominion election act are passed in this session in other words the mechanics for calling a nationwide vote should be ready before long however these are only the mechanics the machinery and the maninthestreet must be told blunty that the recurring rumors suggesting a vote this year are by no means supported by veteran observers on parliament hill in face of all stories the government says political observers in this capital is not likely to call an election on the hot freight rate issue it is true that the government has received support by a comfortable majority of its policies on the freight rates issue but it is also true that resent ment against the increased rates is known to be far from dead con trols and prices are hot right now so that an appeal during this year is voked while excited feelings exist on the questions with the expecta tion that these will exist for some time yet when a new liberal leader is chosen in august this year at the national convention in ottawa it is more than likely that he may want some time before leading his party into an appeal to the people campaign there are several other important angles which now suggest delay in the calling of a general election this year however with less publicity than it deserves the greatest likely cause for a delay calling a vote is the tense international situation which appears to be more critical upon observation inside ottawa than when viewed by the man-in- thestreet elsewhere across this country if the present glowing crisis in europe will reach an emergency state or climax it is quite unlikely that a general elec tion would occur in 1918 or even 1919 during the early months in particular this is predicted by veteran observers on parliament hill where the european situation is considered as grave and momen tarily charged with explosive pos sibilities more than generally realized evidently it is a fools paradise to guess or speculate about elec tions being called at any time in 1918 unless all the abovementioned considerations are taken into account even if five of the pro vincial governments should be pre paring for tests of public opinion this year or early in 1949 their position it must be said with strong emphasis is far different than that of the government in ottawa where the shadows of a deepening crisis overseas are cast ing serious reflections which may wipe out all thought of domestic politics during a crisis or emerg ency on the international scene small boy ready for big dog contest incomparable

bounty is j paid and on being urged to impose j a bounty the county councils answer to a request from the waterloo county federation of agriculture for the restoration ofj fox bounties was a suggestion that the department of game and fisheries be asked to remove all restrictions on foxhunting members of the agriculture and j conservation committee pointed out there had been some abuses under the fox bounty system possible diflieulty tendency on the part of some bounty claimants was to bring then- foxes to the county paying the high est bounty whether or not the foxes were from the particular county asked to pay reeve amos wilkinson indicated that with wellington county pay ing s3 for foxes and 150 for pups and waterloo county not paying anything the likelihood would be that the wellington county treas ury would be paying bounties on some waterloo county foxes council consensus was that the menace to farmers engaged in rais ing poultry is erious and that some thing more than a mere county bounty system should be devised to bring about the extermination of the animals members felt the bounty system was wide open to abuses such as had been experienced in this county last year reeve 0 j wright woolwich township contended a resolut n asking the department to remove all protection of foxes under the game laws would be a satisfactory solu tion of the problem under present game laws some hunters have paid fines for fox hunting but if the regulations were removed there would be every possibility of hunters solving the problem deputy reeve w j kinnaird felt the problem really belonged to the townships as settlement with farmers for poultry losess resulting from fox raids on poultry shelters came out of township treasuries reeve wilkinson insisted that unless some effective measures are adopted the price of eggs and poul try will advance due to losses ex perienced by farmers and also due to farmers abandoning poultry rais ing
