This will leave only one of these upper house in Canada, that of Quebec, where it could also be done away with without serious damage. The Hon. Mr. Rhodes an- nounces that Nova Scotia's upper chamber costs some $40,000 per annum. All of which brings up the question of too much government in Canada. In the Maritimes where the total population is about one million there are three governments functioning. Three full sets -of of- ficials, lieutenant-governors, pre- miers, cabinet officers and so on and so forth, where one would be ample. If the saving in doing away with Nova Scotia's Legislative Council amounts to $40,000 how many forty thousands would be saved by having one provincial government 'in place of three. The distances are not long in the Maritimes, and the people are to a large extent singie minded in respect to their interests. In other words they should be able to agrea pretty well on the general line of official conduct of their elected rep- resentatives. Just because Confederation plant- ed three provinces in the Maritimes is no good reason why they should be continued for all time. . We have too many non-producers in this country leaning on the tax- payers, In other words we are over- governed to the "nth degree, and this does not apply only to the Mari- times, it applies everywhere, in city, town and province. It has been said that every fourth person is di- rectly or indirectly living off the taxpayers. The figures may be cor- rect and they may not, but in look- ing absut I am about convinced that they are within the mark.

LAD FATALLY INJURED Rather than have his violin broken, 15-year-old Kenneth Floyd Gould of Stirling received injuries that resulted in his death. The lad, on his way to a violin lesson, had grabbed a ride on a horse sleigh. Suddenly the animal bolted. Rather than jump to safety, with the chance of breaking his violin, the youngster clung on. The horse, galloping mad- ly, crashed through the plate glass window of a harmess shop. Gould was hurled headlong off the sleigh. His head was cut, and his right ear almost severed. First aid was rush- ed to him, and it was thought that his injuries would not prove fatal, but later the lad's left side became paralyzed and shortly afterward he passed away.

The aged man has been unable for the past year or two to carry on his life long trade-as hamal. The hamals are the human delivery wagons of Turkey, and it is a com- mon thing to see one of these port- ers, bent nearly double, plodding steadily along the street with a piano or bedstead or dining-room table on his back. As Zaro Agha has grown somewhat too old for this Herculean occupation, he has found it difficult to supply himself with the bread and cheese of ex- istence, for the pension which he' receives from the Association of Hamals is nothing too large. Now the Prefect of Constanti- nople, Emine Bey, has appointed Zara as a doorkeeper for the Mumni- cipal Council. Therefore - he will now have not only bread and cheese aplenty, a uniform and warm place to sit in, but a feeling of import- ance befitting the dignity of his years. lawyer and possibly a fine while these others go free."
