and to bank premises a bal ance of 025023 was carried for ward to next year The General Manager in his remarks said Net learnings on banking capital are not in keeping with the ex pansion in resources but it mufti be remembered thai costs of operation have greatly increased during the past few years while rates of in terest and our charges for hanking services generally have remained practically stationary Concerning the future he stated There must he a downward of prices for and services and it be hoped of production upward until we reach a stable level on which classes of business can

departure from routine business was the passing of a bylaw authorizing the issue Of year debentures totalling for purpose of build ing a union school King and together in Hits project and the building will be Situated King Township people an opportunity of know ing who contributed to the expenses of any candidate If his expenses were being met by those having selfish interests to serve those seeking special favors from govern ment every true citizen would op pose the election of such a one The Canadian Council of Agri culture recommended the reform of the Federal Senate The United Farmers of Ontario recommends the abolition of the Federal Senate It has been contended that the Senate is a check on hasty legislation but I think the legislation of our prov inces quite as good as that handed out from Ottawa The Senator is appointed for life by the party in power These are mostly old men and are given this position as a reward for party services Which of you would care lo hand over to another the management of your business for The discontin uance of the of titles upon citizens of Canada would be in ac cord with our ideas of democracy Canada does not want any codfish aristocracy In opposition to the public own ership and control of railways and other public utilities i has Irvu said thai the service would not be as efficient I think the publicly owned and controlled water of the of Toronto is quite as efficient as the railway sys tem managed by my friend It J Fleming At my home when atmos pheric conditions are good I can hear the whistles from four dif ferent lines of railways Two lines would give quite as good service The other two are adding un necessarily to the cost of operation We have three sets of railway of ficials in Toronto Under one man agement one set of officials would do work quite as well I have noticed when express comes over two express systems the charges are fifty per cent higher than when it conies over one system While we in this part of Dominion are near the end of railway construc tion in the west it is only begin ning and a single system of man agement would mean a great saving in railway construction We have taken over the Canadian Northern and it looks as though we would have to take hand Trunk so we might as well put on the fat CPH lie I lie whole bog The plank dealing with tariff reform has been ably set forth by K at the convention in Toronto and this treatise of the subject will be put in form for distribution The tariff is the most wasteful and costly method ever devised for the raising of revenue Not only does the wholesaler ami relailer have pro fits on the original cost of an ar ticle but they must have their pro fits on he custom charges so that the consumer often has lo pay double the original cost of the A friend of mine serving in the transportation of droops going overseas made several trips across the water An article that would cost him 25 here be bought for in England The first two planks are most important The second We be lieve that the further development of the British Empire should be sought along the lilies of partner ship between nations free and equal under the present governmental system of British- constitutional au thority We are strongly opposed lo any attempt to centralize Imper ial control Arty attempt to sel up an Independent authority with pow er to the

graves that would have been going about their round of pro ductive labor the hearts that shall yearn through the years because of the loss of loved ones the young women that shall go through life because the one that would have been the sharer of her joys lies in Flanders does it not call upon us to use all our powers to avert such a calamity again Lloyd George declares for the abolition of conscript armies yet manifestly ap proves of the maintenance of a British navy strong enough to con trol the seas in times of war I was sorry to hear it yet somehow was expecting it The secretary of the United States navy announced that if Britain insisted on main taining a powerful navy the United States would build a navy that could lick the universe We have enjoyed one hundred years of peace with neighbors the south of us not because there is any essential difference between the peoples of North America and those of Europe but because during that period not a fort has marked the line that separates nor a war ship plied the lakes that lie be tween It has been proven that the bought French papers to advocate more armament They then informed Germany that the French were preparing to attack hern A British shipbuilding firm would build a warship for Austria and then inform Britain she would need to build two more to maintain her supremacy If naval rivalry be tween Britain and the United Stales really begins war some day is in evitable And war in that case will not be the thousand miles away but right here in Canada and the fields of Ontario Quebec maritime provinces and of west will be devastated as those of Belgium France and the Balkan States have been devastated in the war It is our duly to back every effort for the formation of a league of nations calling for
