THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE July 28th Election .' To Cos[$2,000,000 The machinery of the forthcoming General Election will cost aa much as a whole session of parliament; two million dollars in the opinion of the officers of the auditor general's de- partment, who are directing the af- fair. A huge 3taff is busy in Ottawa paying the cost of the election day 'by day. The general election of 1926 cost $1,750,000 and the committee of the Commons on privileges and elections in revising the elections all this year, made important chan- ges which it was expected would hesultn substantial savings. Pre- sent indications are that these sav- ings will not be possible, owing to the more thorough methods for mak- ing up the election lists. The first workers to be paid are the enumerators, who get 10 cents for every name enumerated. The cost of this enumeration is higher this time because of the system of double enumeration. In Ottawa, for instance there were 351 divisions in the last election. This time there will be 250 which means a saving t>f $3.000 in the cost of the sub-divisions. The double enumera tions of the names, however, while indefinitely more accurate, will in- crease the cost of this phase of the election and wipe out the $3,000 saving. The number of polling sub- divisions in any riding is impossible to ascertain as yet. Where there are 298 name? on a list it would mean one polling sub-division. If there were 310 it would mean two. The enumeration is proceeding satisfactorily. Each member giv- es a certificate to each household -where he takes names, then makes up his lists, which go to the regist- rar, thence to the revising officer. The registrar may correct errors in spelling, initials and so forth, but only the revising officer can strike off a name entirely. The payment of the enumerators is a big 'oh. In the 1926 election 100,000 cheques were issued in pay- ment for election services of enum- erators, registrars, revising officers and others. This time there will be about 125,000 cheques. Enumera- tors have been busy for two weeks and their cheques have been going 'have from her. What more do we want? What has Mr. Bennett to '. say on British preference that he ' is willing to extend preference to Great Britain to the extent that she extends it to us? But she has al- ready done much more. She has : given us a free market, to give Can- ' ada preference she would first ha*e to build a tariff wall around her island home and let down a few bar? n one direction. Little wonder that Col. W. G. MacKendrkk, D.S.O., for 1 forty-five years a Conservative voter , is moved to say in the Toronto Daily Star of July 8, 1930 page 3: "I regret exceedingly the lack of wisdom shown by Conservative Leaders in eating their labels and turning their backs on a British pre- ference solely because Liberals pas- sed this splendid Empire-building measure." "More thinking Conservatives can- not follow such anti-British Leader- ship and the party, will rue the day they ran themselves into this blind alley."

Canada exported to the British Empire in the year ending March 3i, 1930 goods to the value of $379.742- 478.00 and bought from the British ING - Empire in the same year goods to the value of $252,703.704.00 Great Britain and the British Empire offer us the best market for our surplus products. To retain and extend this n-.arket we must buy British goods.

In 11-20 there were 23,024 polling stations at each of which was a deputy-returning officer and his clerk, and in about 5.000 of thes? stations a special constable was sta- tioned. There were 9.466 urban and [ 16,553 rural egistrars. There will be a change in the urban figures in j this election and the 9,000 urban e.-.- umerators will be increased in num- ber before the lists are finally com- pleted. There will not be much change in the rural situation, as the chang- es in tho election act apply chiefly to the u-ban centres. In the rural areas the HsU are made up, then posted ar.d the revising eft'icer mak- es an appeal. The machinery is not so complicated as in case of the urban centre. While the chief electoral officer has charge of the a.-tual election machinerx. the auditor general is resprnsible for the payment of those employed in the actual work.

That is the chief cause o the unfortunate condition in which \ve find ourselves. >-.:ch a course leads not to prosperity. And the cure is simple a's the rattsc 1 . If you uiil provide that our workmen shall not be compelled to compet<- ur.fairly with mass production and chenp la'. or in foreign countries, and if you w:H pro.idc that our farmers shall be freed from the unfair dumping of agricultural pioducts into Canada, our workmen will have jobs and the agriculturist will have a market for his products at a pro:i:abte price. If you are agreed that such a solution is desirable and in vour interest, the only way to reach the dt , ; red objective is through the Parliament of Canada. Your member in the House of Common; should be ;>'.edced to the *ti| "t of legislation which will give adequate pro ecti<>n to the pfoducer in Canada. - that the great Canadian home market f >r the products of field and factory will not be exploited for the benefit of outsider I stand pledged to such action, and i i-- the first jvJark in the policy which 1 would gladly support i* the iwterest of fie people of Canada. t is an easy thing to say that one i> in favor of "removing the economic burdens from the backs of the agriculturist." \Ve have been hean-ig that kind of thing talked for the last nine years and there has been no actio i taken in all that tin*. 1 which could just- ifv the expense of a parliamentary representative \Yhat \\e surely \\ant - ic tion. and immediate action.

If you pe >pk % of the riding want a representative who approves of unfair competition from the products of the factories in other countries, which n*ult> in unemployment in the Canadian mills and depress ion throughout the country, then you can hardly support me. I do appeal to you to support your o.\ n interests.
