To The Advance, it appears that the country has to decide whether relief will be continued indefinâ€" itely, with all its very apparent evils, or whether the situation will be altered by the inauguration in Ontario of a system of landâ€"clearing bonus. The whole attitude towards the settler should be alâ€" tered. Instead of the people feeling that it is a genâ€" eral responsibility that none of them should be alâ€" lowed to starve, the idea should be that it is the bounden duty of the province to see to it that they are placed in the way of establishing themselves as independent and selfâ€"supporting citizens of the North. If anyone can suggest any feasible method whereby this can be done, except by the landâ€" clearing bonus, then The Advance would be deâ€" lighted to hear the plan. So far, however, no one has evolved any method or means to this end, exâ€" cept the landâ€"clearing bonus. There is every reason to believe that the landâ€"clearing bonus would do the work. Even such a remedy may fail, if it is deâ€" layed too long. It does appear that action should be taken at once in the matter. That is why The Advance has been so insistent in its recent adâ€" vocacy of the proposal. For a great many years The Advance has been urging the landâ€"clearing bonus. Toâ€"day The Advance feels that unless the plan is put into force, the outiook for the settleâ€" ment of the North is dark indeed. | Under a landâ€"clearing bonus, settlers would havei incentive to clear as much land as possible, and asl the method also provides special bonus for new land placed under cultivation, it is easy to see how land placed under cultivation, it is easy to see how in earning the bonus the farmer is becoming more and more selfâ€"supporting as the days go by. The necessity for further immediate relief could be avoided by allowing bonus on land already cleared, and seeing that a proportion of this bonus went to the purchase of stock and in other ways that would hasten the real establishment of the hommesteader. It is freely admitted that even the land clearing bonus would not be sufficient to establish some on their homesteads, but these would be proven to be unsuitable for Northern pioneering and they could be removed to other centres or otherwise dealt with. There are 3000 settlers and their familiesâ€"a total of 15,000 personsâ€"now on the relief rolls of the North. It goes without saying that these good people cannot be allowed to starve or freeze for lack of proper clothing. At the salme time,‘ it is equally beyond logic or common sense to accept the burden of the support of these settlers by the country at large as a permanentcondition. Yet unâ€" der present conditions there does not seem the slightest chance of these settlers ever getting off relief. That is one of the serious features of the matter. Direct relief has kept them alive, but that is all that it has done. It has not helped them to establish themselves on their farms. They are just where they were, in a material way. So far as morâ€" ale is concerned, they are worse off than ever. Some of them are developing the attitude that the country must look after themâ€"that they will not be allowed to starveâ€"and that consequently they have little real cause for worry. Fortunately for the country, however, the majority of them do not want reliefâ€"they only ask a fair chance to make good and to be selfâ€"supporting and independent. Action should be taken to remedy the situation beâ€" fore the majority lose their hope, their courage, their pioneering spirit. away from him and from his family. The former chief supports of the struggling settlerâ€"the sale of pulpwood and the payments made for roadwork In an interview with The Northern Tribune at Kapuskasing last week, Rev. J. C. Cochrane, superâ€" intendent of missions for Northern Ontario for the United Church, is quoted as criticizing the existing land settlement schemes under government relief. Instead of directly or indirectly subsidizing the settlers to live on the land without incentive to go ahead on their own efforts, he suggests a cash bounty for each acre cleared. In other words, Rev. Mr. Cochrane is advocating what The Advance has been urging for yearsâ€"a landâ€"clearing bonus for settlers, such as has helped to make colonization successful in the neighbouring province of Quebec. To make a success of the settlement of Northern Ontario, Rev. Mr. Cochrane very properly points out, the settler must be imbued with the real oldâ€" time pioneering spirit, Direct relief is taking this â€"both distracted the settler‘s attention from the real business of his lifeâ€"the building of a farm and a home for himself and his family in this new country. Neither pulpwood nor roadwork can be expected to supply his special needs in the future. At the same time it must be admitted by all who know the country and its conditions that the orâ€" dinary settler cannot establish himself without some form of assistance. If he does not possess capital of his own, he must have some supplied, or its equivalent, to keep him during the years when he is clearing his land, and gathering together the necessary stock to make his farm selfâ€"supporting.

At the present time the Soviet is executâ€" ing by wholesale men who are accused of differing in opinion from the present czars of Russia. Oh, welil!l Why bring that up? At last week‘s session of the town council much business was dealt with in a comparatively brief session because the council were not hampered by undue discussion or blockade by the mayor. won‘t be long now, however, before the mayor will be telling of all the wonderful things he would have accomplished if the council had only helped him along. Last year the present mayor felt that as a councillor he made a remarkably fine mayor, but this year the ratepayers feel that as a mayor he is a washout as a councillor. People are amused at the idea that Quebec‘s new premier has exposed the fact that the former govâ€" ernment had a steam roller insured against theft. To the ordinary mind the thought of insuring a steam roller against theft seems laughable, Howâ€" ever, in view of other exposures in regard to the @uebec government recently, was it ridiculous afâ€" ter all? At the present time there are people in Timmins who feel it might be a good idea to inâ€" sure school buildings against misappropriation as town halls or whatnot. A heading in a Southern Ontario newspaper says that work is to start immediately on the fourâ€" laned hignway from Hamilton to the Niagara Rivâ€" er. The Advance has been told repeatedly that the reason no money is being spent to make Northern roads safe for travel is because there is no money to spend. What is to be used for money for that new fourâ€"laned highway? But why bring that up? The Liberal Party Association at Michipicoten recently forwarded a petition to His Majesty King Edaward VIII, asking that a plebescite be taken on the question of the creation of a separate province to look after the interests and assure the developâ€" ment and progress of the great North, which conâ€" stitutes fourâ€"fifths of the area of the whole proâ€" vince of Ontario, as well as likely an equally large proportion of the total potential wealth of the whole province. This appeal to the King cannot be dismissed by an exhibition of bad temper by the premier of Ontario. Coming from a Liberal Party Association, it cannot be lightly termed a political dodge, because both the provincial and Dominion governments toâ€"day are Liberal party organizaâ€" tions. It will be found that the people at large in Ontario are vitally concerned about the matterâ€"â€" wondering as to what are the motives for such an appeal, the grounds of dissatisfaction, and the exâ€" tent of the feeling in the North for secession. If the people in general are not keenly alive to the matter, it will be too bad for the province at large. It would be a poor sort of hound that would allow the tail to wag the dog forever. Apart from the many local causes for dissatisâ€" faction, the Michipicoten people have suffered along with the rest of the North from the stupid and shortsighted policy of the South in dealing with the North. Recently it appears that requests from the North are not even treated with common courtesy. Excuse has been made for lack of governâ€" mental action on many lines by saying that the administration does not know or understand the North. The truth is that the chief trouble is that the government does not know the people of the North nor understand the spirit, the temper of the people. Neglect of the interests of the North and rudeness and discourtesy to the people of the North sum up the chief causes for dissatisfaction. The mctive for secession talk may be briefly given as an ardent desire to see the North given a fair deal and a proper chance to develop and expand, and the equally keen determination not to take neglect and impoliteness in any meek spirit, but to make the world at large understand that the North is not only dissatisfied, but further that it intends one way or another to do something about it. The extent of the secession feeling is rather amazing, especially among Ontario people who have been among the pioneers of the North. Just the minute that governments assume the attitude that they can disregard the North and nothing can be done about it, this secession talk resumes. Years ago a local gentleman based his platform for elecâ€" tion to the Dominion parliament on the one plank of secession of the North from Ontario. The small vote he received in the election did not mean that few felt the way the candidate felt in the matter. Rather, it proved no more than that the people had found another way to express their dissatisâ€" faction as well as a new hope for the righting of their evident wrongs. Following that former genâ€" eral demand for secession, the North received more attention and a closer approach to a fair déal. The point that should Re noted by the people in the South is that the North is not disposed to take illâ€" usage meekly or quietly. The North intends to find a way to secure fair treatment. If secession is the only way, then the North will eventually secede. bitts 0t ts tss ts tncittin .Bs Tt mm itc ioi it it instms ie it tm itz icï¬ in tm ie cttits.. in ce \ !GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACERf plan believe that even from the viewpoint of acâ€" tual expenditure in dollars and cents, it would prove cheaper than direct relief.
