ADAMS General Store LAKEPORT Phone Colborne 86r4 QUEEN'S PARK ARENA (By the Watchman) One month of the most interesting Legislature session in years has slipped into history and a review of what has transpired during that crowded period brings some interesting facts to the fore. It is generally conceded that, to date, the Hepburn forces have : ' cided edge over the little band of Consrvatives led by former Premier Henry. Those "experts" who predicted tlhat the Liberal "greenhorns" would find themselves all at sea in the face of the strategy of seasoned political campaigners such as (Messrs. Henry, Price, IMacaulay, et al, have had to revise their opinions. The Liberals have given knock for knock, blow for blow, and often their blows have been the heaviest. Premier Hepburn mlay lack experience ir Ontario Legislature, but eight years in the Dominion Parliament stand him in good stead' to-day. The premier revel® when the going is heavy and he has instilled confidence in the minds of his supporters by his confident leadership. No issue has ever gained such widespread attention as has- the Hydro controversy. In looking back over the events of the past month, the charges and count er-charg-es made on the. floor of the House over Hydro administration stand out as the most sensational rnd exciting in years. It is believed the government, by its comprehensive ■ attack upon the Hydro Commissions of the 'Conservative regime, has silenced many of the "big guns" on the Opposition side of the House. Never before has a single issue dominated the political scene to such fn extent as has this selfsame Hydro situation with its much debated and much maligned Quebec power contracts. It has overshadowed everything but the personality of Premier Hepburn, who continues to add to his reputation by his sterling Leadership. Legislation, so far, has been light. The Opposition has been criticising every ibill that hag come before the House, particularly the Police Director Bill. And even in the case of the Dionne Quintuplets Guardianship Bill, the legislators staged a heated debate with the Conservatives voicing strenuous protests against certain clauses of the bill. The tactics of the Opposition ] been successful in one regard, if in no other. They have succeeded in delaying the progress of busines such an extent that the House is approximately a week behind ir work as compared with last year. It is fortunate that Easter comes late This year, April 211st, as it see I'kely that the Legislature will not journ many days before this date. PAYING TAXES BY THE MONTH (Huron Expositor) The suggestion cam© from the Mayor of the city of Hamilton that municipal taxes be paid by the month instead of by the year as most municipalities collect them at present. It is not a bad suggestion either and one that town and township fathers might take under consideration. Generally speaking any one can make a payment of a nickel, but the payment of several hundred nickli at one time, bothers quite a few of us in these present times. Hydro rates, water rates, rent and other dues are paid by the month. Why not taxes'? Even if one were forced to skip a month or two now and again, the burden would not be so heavy at the end of the year, and the amount of unpaid taxes might not loom so large either. And the payment of taxes by the month would provide municipalities with ready money; save them borrowing; save them interest. It might even teach them to live within their Of course taxes' never were a popular subject of conversation, but anything that would make their payment more painless would be welcomed. Why not talk it over a bit? SPECIAL GUN LICENSES are required this year For Sale at GRIFFIS' DRUG STORE Colborne TOWN DESTROYERS We all have our troubles. The city daily comes into a community, makes a great splurge and sets out to injure the local investment. The chain st flood the same community and do everything they can to cripple the local merchant. And these outside pelicans will get away with it as long as they can find unthinking people who are ready for the bait. In every community there are people an that class that would not be sasisfied with their local paper if it was printed on gold leaf and worth ten dollars an ounce; they wouldn't be satisfied with, their local merchants if they gave them all the goods they wanted for nothing. These people are Town Destroyers. It's regrettable; the thousands of dollars spent out of town every year, if spent here, would build up this town to such a state of perfection that you wouldn't know it --Ex.
