The statement of Right Hon. Philip Snowden, chancellor of the British exchequer that such a step was contemplated came as a com- plete surprise. It was generally thought the governments of the Do- minions. should have been consulted before such a step is taken, While ministerial circles have so far treat- ed Mr. Snowden's suggestion to cur- tail preferences with indifference, the press generally forsesces in the with- drawal of preferences a serious blow to the farming communities, especs ially the fruit farmers. - ALBERT MORGAN, EDUCATIONIST, DEAD Hamilton, July 12.--The death of Dr. Sidney Albert Morgan, B.A., sducationist, removed a well-known yesident of the province yesterday. The late Mr. Morgan died at his home, 34 Beach boulevard, aged 71 years. For 28 years he made his home in this city and was princi- pal of the Normal school from its {nception until 1919, a period of 11 years, when he was appointed pro- visional director of professional training for the department of education.

SCRAPPING OF EMPIRE TARIFF NOT RELISHED, Snowden's Undefined Trade Policy Does Not Appeal Vancouver, B.C, July 1l--Secrap- ping of Empire tariffs in favor of some trade policy still undefined, as indicated in Monday's speech by Hon Philip Snowden, Labor Chancellor of the Exchequer, will not be relished in Canada, in the opinion of Hon James A. Robb, Minister of Finance, who passed through Vancouver Wed nesday on a holiday trip which will take him as far as Skagway, Alaska. "If Mr. Snowden is correctly re- ported, he does not approve of pre- ferential tariffs," said Mr. Robb. "Our experience is that the Empire does approve of preferential tariffs. I can't believe that the people of the Motherland would be very enthusias- tic if Canada removed the preference which she now gives. "I think that the preferences have been helpful fo Canada as well as to other parts of the Empire. Take, for example, the preferences we give and receive with Australia and New Zea- land. This part of Canada as well as the rest of the Dominion has bene- fitted greatly by these preferences." Regarding a possible Empire trade conference, Mr. Robb declined to say anything pending a receipt in Ottawa of some official intimation from the British Government, Mr. Robb's trip is one of .object-- "Just fun." He will make no speeches and his only function as a Minister of the Government will be general ob- servations, He feels that financial conditions in Ottawa are such the "watch dog of the Treasury" c well afford to take a holiday. 2 "We have been able to. refluce taxes. 'We have sufficient funds to take care of all loans maturing this year, including the loan of $60,000,000 made in 1919 and due in August. We will pay this out of current revenue. No new borrowing is contemplated or required." Mr. Robb admitted that he is "get- ting impressions" in Western Can- ada. "What impression do you get about the reception of the share tax?" he was asked. "Haven't heard a word about it," answered the Minister. "When are we going to have election?" The question brought a smile from the Minister jof Finance. "Well, it seems. to be a good time to keep on working. Personally the part of political life I like best is an election, but we had them in 1925 and 1926. The country seems to be doing pretty well just at present without one. Mr. Robb refused to discuss the 'American tariff situation. an Blessed are they which are per- secuted for righteousness' sake; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.----Matthew 5:10. to, Charles of Chicago, Alan of Hamilton and one daughter, Mrs. Gordon Hern, wife of Rev.

POLIGE RECRUITS WAR ON GRIME Fifty Men, Known Only By A Number, Are in Se- ret Service New York, July 12--Fifty young men, recruits all, picked for their youth, intelligence and fearless- ness, have been designated by Po- lice Commissioner Whalen for a new job, a job colored with ro- mance and shadowed by ever-pres- ent danger--the secret police. To be known henceforth only by numbers, they form the nucleus ot New York's "Scotland Yard." He will travel alone, this secret service 'man, unarmed and without badge or other means of identifica- tion, down dark alleys. and into strange dives in the mazes of the underworld of the metropolis. In the unenviable position of spy---about whose fate there could never be any uncertainty should his identity become known--he will fraternize with gangsters, rum-runners, narcotic peddlars and desperate characters generally. Sworn to conceal his means of livelihood even from members ot his own family, he will contrive to gain entrance into those desperate groups in which be- umdercover that ehyal of secrets means swift death --the 'gangs whose activities, men- acing and baffling, lurk behind the murder of a Frankie Yale or a Frank Marlow. A police officer with the rank of Captain, whose identity will be known only to Commissioner Wha- len and his confidential secretary, has been placed in command of the 50 young men. The Captain will never meet any of his force face to face. He will know them only as numbers. They will never come into his office. All their reports will be made in writ- ing or over the telephone---and al- ways by number only, REBEL GHIEFTAIN AND 11 MEN KILLED ieuter With Former Lieutenant Pancho Villa Also Surrenders Mexico City, July 12--A war de- partment announcement today said Faustino Gonzales, "Cris- tero" chieftain, and 11 of his men were killed in a gattle with Feder- als at the billage of Tiquistan, Jal- lisco.

A. Crerar, president of the United Grain srowers Limited, Winniveg, replied to charges levelled against the United Grain® Growers by delegates from Saskatchewan, that the company "no longer retained its co-operative spirit among the farmers of the western provinces." In speaking of the statement that the United Grain Growers had for- saken the co-operative. method of do- ing business, Mr. Crerar strongly de- nied that the company had ever swerved from its original plan to work for the benefit of the western farmers Congress was denied the privilege of voting on the resolution to ask for the resignation of the United Grain Growers when Mr. Crerar made his declaration that the firm would withdraw J. G. Mohl, Edenwold, Sask., while admitting that the United Grain Growers had done a great pioneer work in co-operative methods throughout Western Canada, was of the opinion that no longer could they term themselves a co-operative con- cern, In some districts of Saskatchewar, he said, the U.G.G. 1s in direct oppo- sition {o local co-operative societies. Hon. Mr. Crerar traced the history of the United Grain Growers in the west, Four thousand shareholders, 97 per cent of whom were farmers in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, of the company at present, he said. "Our method of doing business for the western farmer was fully inves- tigated by this union. when our ap- plication for membership was accept- ed in 1919," he said. "Our methods are exactly the same today." Referring to comments on the large reserve fund that the company had laid aside, Mr. Crerar observed that both the English and Scottish co- operative wholesale societies also kept large" funds of a similar nature "as a business precaution." Discussion broke out from several delegates following Mr. Crerar's an- nouncenent. G. H. Williams, presi- dent of the United Farmérs of Can- ada, Saskatchewan ' section, urged that the congress accept the U.G.G.'s withdrawal. The Saskatchewan Co- operative Wholesale Association, re- cently organized, finds itself compet- ing against the United Grain Grow- ers, he said. From the chair, president W. C, Good, Parish, Ont, suggested that the situation in Saskatchewan would be deterred by the' resignation from the Co-operative Union of the United Grain Growers. e urged that the matter be left in abeyance. In replying, Mr/ Crerar said: "We want to make the best contribution possible to the co-operative 'move- ment and at the present time we can do this by withdrawing." Tehuantepec, and a despatch to El Universal from Leon, Guanjuato, said Miguel Hermandez, one of the most important of Cristeros chief- tains, had surrendered with the main body of his troops and order- ed the rest of them to follow suit. He was a lieutenant with Pancho Villa. London; July 12.--Youthful law- breakers in England will no longer have to fear the birch rod if a move- ment to abolish corporal punishment for young offenders is successful. "Spare the rod and save the boy" is the slogan of the movement, which numbers several promient magistrat- es. W. Clarke Hall, London. police court judge, explained. his opposition to the widespread practice of "birch- ing" at a conference of 70 judges, and presented a report showing that 80 per cent. of the boys who had been whipped in a certain court came back again charged with similar of- fences. : "If you consider the psychology of "SPARE THE ROD -- SLOGAN FOR ENGLISH MOVEMENT SAVE THE BOY" the child, you will get the reason for the failiire of birching," he said. "Very often. it is. the leader of a gang who is caught. He usually is a ragged little urchin, neglected from birth, his one asset being the re- spect of the gang with which he works. He cannot show the gang that he is afraid of corporal punishment, and to prove that he is not afraid he commits the same offence again." Whipping, however, still has its de- fenders, Capt. C. W. Whitworth, Mayor of Harrogate, told the same meeting that too many magistrates failed to administer the birch when it would: benefit not only the boy but the community. His opinion was sec- onded by Hay Halkett, another mag- istrate, BETTER SERVICE NOW THAN EVER Most Frequent Service and Lowest Fare on Conti- nent, Is Claim Toronto, July 12.--~The board of control on Tuesday referred to the now fully constituted Toronto' Trans- portation Commission a letter re- ceived from. Acting Chairman E. J. Lennox in which it is stated a deci- sion has been made to purchase 110 cars at a cost approximately of $1. 700,000. 1 Mr. Lennox says: "It is ou. desire to' place orders. immediately in or- der that we may be assured of de- livery at the earliest possible date. "It will be unnecessary for the city council to issue new debentures for this additional equipment. There is on deposit with the city treasurer a sum of $1,986,550 representing capi- tal funds raised in 1923 under Sec. 5 passed by city council on May 1, 1923. This money was not requisi- tioned by us because of the {uct that we used our own reserves in finunc- ing the capital works covered by Section: No. 5... .In. the.meantime; it has been necessary to provide from earnings full interest and. sinking fund charges on this sum, and there- fore from an economic viewpnint it is desirable to invest the funds in physical assets." a "These funds were the subject of some discussion in the latter part. of 1928, but the matter as-we under- stand it, was settled satisfactorily to Mr. Ross, financial commissioner at the time, and your solicitor, Mr Colquhoun, although possibly it has not come directly again to the at- tention of the board. In the opinion of Mr. Colquhoun, in which Mr. Ross and Mr, Scott concurred, it was necessary, or at least desirable, in order to clarify the present positivn, for us to certify that the capital works authorized by section 5 had all been completed. We have submitted this 'certificate to Mr, Wilson, your treasurer." * ! At the outset -of the - letter Mr. portation experts that the street rail- Lennox expresses the opinion that, "there is no doubt that the electric street railway is the only practical and economical method of providing transportation in a city of the size of Toronto, and it is ouriopinion and the concensus of opinion of all traus- way will continue to maintain its present position in this field." "Your commission placed its first order for rolling stock, which was for 200 cars, on May 16, 1921, Its last order, for 125 cars, was placed on May 11, 1923, and delivered dyving, the winter of 1923-24. A total of 855 new cars were purchased in that period. In addition to these cars there are 347 cars that were taken over from the old Toronto Railway Co. and were rehabilitated and made suitable for the' system, and 50 cars from the Civic Railway. Since May 11, 1923, no more cars have been pur- chased, except 19 cars acquired in 1928 from the Mimico and Scarboro divisions of the radial railway, but several extensions have been made to the city system by bus routes. op- erating on the universal city service and giving free transfer to and from the street cars. The commission now has 74 buses for the city service and: 991 street cars." Stress Improvements Made "The improvement which your commission has made to the service since taking over the Toronto Rail- way Co., on Sept. 1, 1921, is shown by the relation of the number of seats provided at the peak hour, 5.30 p.m, then and now. On Sept. 1, 1921, there were 28,247 seats available, and on April 2, 1929, there were 49, 652 seats, an increase of over 75 per cent. This additional seating accom- modation was to a small extent pro- vided by re-arranging the seating of the old cars taken over from the To- ronto Railway Co. previously re- ferred to, the seating capacity of which was increased by from .30 to 30 per cent." ficient increase in the number of until recently, when the traffis has shown a more decided upward trend. Your commission has always been well in, advance of any demands made upon the service. The revenue passengers in 1923 (when the last cars were purchased) were 189,143 "Since 1923 there has been insuf-|: passengers to" justify additional ears |: 145 and in 1928 were 193,642,927, an !' increase of only 2.4 per cent,' There has also been some corresponding in- crease in transfer passengers. In Oc-, tober, 1923, however, there were 44, 035 seats provided in the rush hour and on October, 1928, there were 47, 819 seats, or more service to the ex- tent of 8.6 per cent." {The number of seats actually of- fered in service and its relation to the number of passengers give the true and fair comparison of the quantity of the service from time to time. The number of car miles op- erated and the ' passengers carried also provide the basis of comparison. Comparing the first five .months .of 1928 and 1929, in 1929 the passen- bers increased 6.4 per cent. and the car miles increased 7.6. per cent. Hence the amount of service, mea- sured on the basis of either seats of- fered or car miles operated and com- pared with the number bof passengers carried, is greater to-day than it ever was. This condition has been made possible by the adoption of the most efficient operating and maintenance practices. "It might also be mentioned that the track mileage of the commission's system in 1923 was 221.9 miles, Af the end of 1928 this had increased to 2299 miles. Taking into considera- tion the extensions which have been made to the railway system, includ- ing York township ahd Weston and the Mimico and Scarboro lines, the total mileage over whicli city cars operate has increased to 269.9 miles, an increase in transportation facili- ties of over 20 per cent. to the car Lviders of the Toronto. district. "The early months of 1929 have continued to show improvement in traffic, a condition quite the reverse of the experience of practically all street railways in the United States, which for several years have been losing traffic to a. disturbing extent. '"Your commission feels reasonably sure that the improvement in traf- fic in Toronto, which is undoubtedly due solely to the generally good bu- siness conditions prevailing in this city, will continue, To the extent to which the transportation system benefits in 'this general prosperity, the car riders should undoubtedly share, and therefore your commission has for-some time given very care- ful consideration to the question of additional rolling stock. The street. railway in Toronto provides the most frequent street car service of any city on this continent. While it is our constant endeavor to improve the service, we think that these ad- ditional cars will not create so seri: ous-a burden' as to endanger the pre sent rate of fares." oe "There is no lower universal fare in-any large city itn North America."
