"*This issue of The Financial Times is chiefly devoted to an industry which has produced a vast amount of wealth for the people of Canada and for many nonâ€"Canadian investors who have sent their money into the Doâ€" minion, but also an industry which bhas only in the last few years begun to receive the status which is its due. The Financial Times in its last isâ€" sue says :â€" ‘‘Mining used formerly to be conâ€" sidered, and to some extent in those days rightly, as a matter of gambler‘s luck. â€" Toâ€"day it is known to be a bighly scientific business in which the MINING NOW TAKES PLACE AS A GREAT INDUSTRY. VOTE for J. R.0 4 Instead of immediately resigning, as he should have done in view of the ground upon which he had been granted dissolution, Mr. King asked for and was granted leave to carry on, on the assurance that he would leave the fate of his administration to Parliament itself. 3 In the. new Parliament, elected in October, 19235, Mr. Meighen had by far the largest groupâ€"almost half the total membership of the House. Out of 245 seats the Conservatives had 116, the Liberals 101, the Progressives 24, Labour 2, and Independents 2. In the old Parliament thus‘dissolved there Had been 234 members, of whom 117 were Liberals, 66 were â€" Progressives or Independents and 51 were Conâ€" servatives. ] In September, 1925, Mr. King was granted dissolution by His Excellency Lord Byng, on the representation that he must be given a chance to secure a clear working majority. He stated at Richmond Hill that if such a majority was not forthcoming, he would not attempt to carry on. On Friday, June 25th, three separate motions by soâ€" called independents, in support of which Mr. King‘s Government marshalled its last ounce of strength, were decisively defeated and the original motion of censure, to which the foregoing had been moved in amendment, was still awaiting decision in Parliament The constitutional issue is pure political buncombe, designed to divert attention from the King Government‘s administration of the Customs Department, upon which issue it was ignominiously defeated in the House of Commons. ‘*‘Canada owes much to its miners, for their remarkable progress in scienâ€" tific technique (most of which has been achieved in our own universities and on our own mining grounds, for conditions in this country differ radiâ€" cally from those of any other mining great rewards go almost entirely to the skilled persistent and courageous adventurers. With its immense reâ€" quirements of machinery and power, and its ability to utilize ore of almost every grade."the modern mirfe is also a far more permanent undertaking than its predecessors. And for these reasons and many others, the mining industry has come in recent years to attract more and more attention from the serious business man. This is the story. It calls for no commentâ€"it speaks for itself ! And avoid another Election ! Here are the viital stubborn facts : THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ‘‘Canada has reason to be xery thankful for its mines and its mining men and the financiers and investors who have made their work possible and profitable.‘‘ area), for their honesty and devotion in the seryate of their industry, and for their faith in its future. It is also worth remembering that Canâ€" ada‘s contribution to the Great War would have been of far smaller value if it had not included the services of a number of mining engineers of great ability and initiative, who coâ€"operated with, and not infrequently led, the experts of the British Army in efâ€" fecting a complete revolution in the science of underground warfare. 10 1 1 tennary, The Ottawa Journal, the leading newspaper bf the Capital, issued a special edition that was eight pages over the hundred. In quality the issue was also a little better than the full one hundred mark. The 108 pages were all well printed, profusely illustrated and eleverly arranged. The advertisements were almost ‘as interesting as the news and features. The features were specially well handled, the history and progress of Ottawa, from the social, political, inâ€" dustrial and other viewpoints being very skilfully outlined. There was SPECIAL ADDITION OF JOURNAL VERY CREDITABLE when Mr. King asked His Excellency for dissolution on Monday, June 28th. 6 To have granted Mr. King a dissolution under such circuinstances would have been a direct denial of the right of Parliament to pass upon the vote of censure then pending. A J Fdllowing Mr. King‘s resignation, Parliament by a majority of 10 did actually adopt a direct vote of censure on the King Government, and declared it unworthy of confidence or office. O Mr. Meighen followed the same course as that adopted by Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1911, when he saw that it was impossible to carry on and abruptly dissolved Parliament. § It was Mr. King‘s refusal to follow British precedent in coâ€"operating with the incoming administration to pass supplies and complete the sessional programme that left Mr. Meighen no alternative but to ask for dissolution. In counection with Ottawa‘s Cenâ€" Under Mr. King‘s interpretation of the constitution a Premier need never resign, but could demand disâ€" solution after dissolution, despite the verdict of Parliament or the electorate, and the Governor General must perforce accept his advice. If His Excellency had recalled Mr. King to office, he would have done so m the very face of Parliament‘s vote of censure. At Haileybury recently Pete Hesâ€" hak pleaded guilty before Magistrate Atkinson to highâ€"grading from the Keeley Mine, and was sentenced to three years at Kingston penitentiary. Joe Chircoski, charged along with Heshak, was acquitted, as Heshak not a dull line in the edition and acâ€" curacy was maintained throughout. Ottawa may well be congratulated glmn the noteworthy succeess of its and among all the special features of the event none are more creditable to the talent and enterprise of the city than The Ottawa Journâ€" al‘s excellent special edition.

In sentencing Heshak, Magisâ€" trate Atkinson took oceasion to point out that the offence was one that inâ€" jured the majority of people in this country. It was not a case of stealâ€" ing from a rich corporation that could afford the loss. ‘The mining companâ€" ies were in reality owned by shareâ€" holders and these shareholders inâ€" ecluded poor people, as well as the wellâ€"toâ€"do, and widows, as well as financiers and speculators. _ Stealing from mining companies meant the deâ€" frauding of all kinds of people who eould not afford the loss. _ Conseâ€" quently, highâ€"grading was not only crime, but it was also very often particularly mean type of theft.
