were poorly bound Later on the Presi dent of the Mail Printing Co stated the cost of readers was too high and that he would furnish pa cent less in pi ice The trend of tes timony seemed to against the

contract from Gage Co and Clark As Co of publishing these very same textbooks ft would have been more becoming to all concerned had the line up not presented quite so marked evi dence of the true inwardness of the purpose of the Commission During te past week not waiting for the Commission to report not waiting for publishers to in their testimony as an offset to that presented by those wanting the job Premier Whitney When the report of the Commis sion reaches the Government if its contents show the advisability or necessity for action in the matter of the cost or character of text books rest assured it will be dealt with promptly and I hope Of course the foregoing observa tion are In accord with the tak en by the Premier in the Legislature for some years and we do not fault him for this but the partisan bias apt to follow his outspoken views while the Commission Is in session is not in accord with that holiest desire for fairplay and justice for which he takes occasion to pose Turning now to other side of ibo we from an interview with exPremier Ross who was Min ister of Education when the existing agreements with present publishers of school textbooks was entered into that The prices were revised by the Queens Printer before the agree ments were closed IhaV IKrewas some complaint the price were too dear and ap pointed a consisting of Morgan Mr James Bain librarian Mr Brown of Brown Bros house to look into the complaints The Commission In favor of trifling Borne of wliiclj were made notably the Fifth Reader was reduced from CO cents to 00 cents the from to In main however found tV prices reasonable and proper the Commission seems to plainly in dicate that the option and the lands turned over to the New Ontario Farm Town Sites Co a concern which had no liabilities and no property either but in the organization of which Messrs Foster and Wilson were exceedingly active and all this manipulation of etc was done under an agreement which required that there would be an ad vance in price which would net three gentlemen paidup stock in the Company to the amount of it further appears that the whole pur chase price of the lands was paid by the New Ontario Farm Town Sites Co by the transfer to the Union Trust Co of one thousand shares of stock of Company By a change of name this company became The Great West Land Company which controlled by the Union Trust Com pany awl holds the lands in question The transactions involved an invest ment of funds amounting to some JD5K0OO The Union Trust Co does not figure as having bandied lands and the evidence has fur ther disclosed that at one time the I in investments maoV through the Union Trust Co and other sub sidiary companies held 400000 acres of North West lands involving an in vestment of facts brought out before the Commission are startling but the end is not yet No wonder Mr Foster Is such a touchy man his operations have made him nervous On Wednesday the counsel for I Mr Hunter is credited with having that action will be taken to recover the shares in volving which mysteriously reverted to the syndicate in the West Land Co deal The Union Trust solicitors likewise lcen to bring an action against whoever is responsible to recover the sum of This sum is the dif ference between he price paid for the and other tim ber limits and which said to have been the real selling price The
