BLAKELEY - Merchant Tailor THE FLESHEKTON ADVANCE THE Flesherton Advance W. II.TIIUKSTON \i>noB IS THIS A TRUE PICTURE? In the Dominion House 6n Thurs- day last, speaking on the question of immigration, E. J. Garland. Pio- gressiva member for Bow River, t painted a very dark picture of con- I ditions as they at present exist in the West. Personally we know a , little about it and have no doubt that what Mr. Garland says is stib- |Stantially correct. Life has, as Ke 'says, become intolerable to many ion the prairies. In Alberta much of this hardship i has been caused by the C. I 1 . R., which was supposed to build up the [country. It induuad settlors to I come to take up its sections, then I fanned them to such an extent that they could not pay for tri2 holdings, and in some instances a whole life- 1 tiir.a ot Havings was swept into the | company's coffers to swell their 'dividends. Mr. Garland said that ," under prevailing- conditions it was absol- utely impossible for immigrants to make a living on the prairies. Th new-comer mifjht exist for a tims, but the end was inevitable. In Alberta ulone, he continued, 20,000 [fanners were absolutely insolvent, 'and over $13,000,000 to meet the mortgage charges on its farm pop- ulation. Many families were leav- ing slipping quietly away from friends and homes and all were I faced with the direst situation their lives were known." % i This is the picture* as given by .\lr. Ciarland, and should awaken ; the Government to the necessity of doing something to aid thesituation. Hut .so many vested interests art tagging at the coat tails of the gov- ernment that it is probable those in power will remain impotent' and theebb'of prosperity will continue : until it gets to the bottom, wherever ' that may be . I The Advance wns not brought into being to preach in a pessimistic Strain, but there arc things happen- ing these days that would make 'even a court fool throw up his job. 11. AN INJUSTICE i Judging by the remuneration paid our country mail carriers, the I'ost- I ollico Department is very frugal, even to the point of penuriouMiess ; ' but itgnin, looking at it from a city standpoint, that Department ap- jvaislobc i|uite generous in its expenditure, On one occasion that *re have i;-, . mjnd an oflidiil is said to Kive peddled ihw job of , carry ing a i Iain country toute because Ire not like the man who was doing it, and actually got another man to take it for ONK DOLLAR less than was being paid, giving him the job! In the city of Toronto carriers [fetfrom $1700 to $2000 a year and two suits of clothes. In this district two carriers who have to spend all day on the route and pro- vide team and vehicle, get $650 and $800 respectively. Four routes going out from this centre get an average of $r>3! Qfl. And they don't even get a new pair of sox extra. The Toronto carrier has also free transportation. The civic- railway carries him. He probably earns all he gets. But what is to be said of the country carrier ? On the same basis of remuneration he shouUl get about $2500 to $3000. The secret lies in these two facts : '1 he Toronto postman is a political appointee and is thoroughly orga- nized ; he can demand a lair re- muneration or disrupt the service. In th* country there is no such or- ganization and as A consequence the price is squeezed down telow a living rate. A government or De- partmeHt that respects its own dig- nity should not be guilty of such peiHiiiousness. The country is paying enough in postage rates now to assure a better wage for the rural mail carrier.
