Newspapers, boards of trade and individuals in the North have for years past been striving to induce the governments of Ontario to adopt the land bonus plan. Just before the last provincial election Hon. Geo, S. Henry made the anâ€" nouncement that if his geovernment were returned to power a plan of land bonus would be inaugurated. The people of the North failed to support the Henry Government desâ€" pite that premise. It may be, of course, that the governâ€" ment was deserving of defeat so far as the North is conâ€" cerned because the land bonus had not been put into force years before. It is that Hon. Mr. Heenan, Minâ€" ister of Lands and Forests and Northern Development, ftaâ€" vours the suggestion of Mr. Habel. It is also said that Mr. Habel intends to take the matter up on the floor of the Legislature at the coming session if the government dosos not adopt the plan. This impression was gathered from an interview Mr. Habel gave The North Bay Nugget recently If Mr. Habel forces this question to the attention of all ho will be doing something worth while for the North and he shculd have the wholehearted support of all other members froem the North, irrespective of party considerations, pit Ine provide him with the necessary funds to carry on his cléarâ€" ing of the land and developing it for production. Up to the present time in this part Oof the North Land cnly thres methods have been open to the settler for making any money until he establishes himself as a farmer. The Oone method is by the sale cf timber and pulpwocd. Conditions make this at present a very uncertain plan and on soime good land suitable for homesteads there is no particular timber or pulpwzod for sale. The price offered for pulpwO00d in recent years has not been such that the settler can hope for much success in depending upon pulpwood to help him along. The seccnd plan open is for the settler to spend part of the year in bush work for cthers. This is a most unsatisfactory method and it is doubtful if the crdinary settler can make it a profitable one. The third method is by securing work at government roadâ€"building, The third methcd has the objectionable features of the other two with some additional hardships of its own. All three methâ€" ods take the settler‘s time and attention away from What should be his real purpose in lifeâ€"the building of a home and a farm in the North. The scores of discouraged settlers in the North and the hardshps endured by them al without ccrresponding success indicate that neither of the three methods referred to can be looked upon as successful. Still, the fact remains that without the help of some addiâ€" tiâ€"nal financing from some source or another the failure of the average settler appears inevitable, The settlers themâ€" selves have convinced The Advance that the only real rem-? edy lies in the plan of a bonus for landâ€"clearing. Estimates made by some in a positicn to know suggest that the cost' would not be nearly as great as some havye feared. It isl certain that the landâ€"clearing bonus would cost the proâ€" l considerably less than is now being paid out for relief to settlers. Anyzne who gives the matter any thought musL, feel that something will positively have to be done to make it unnecessary for the settlers to continue on relief, It may be said that even the cost of this reliéf is not nearly so serious as some ¢f the other features in regard to its conâ€" tinued operation. Under a bonus system the settler would| be paid only in proportion to his own effort to establish himself. He would feel a new independente in the fact thatJ he would be earning the money received while at the same time he would not be neglecting his farm. The country as a whole would be repaid in the fact that real farms wore being established by the sort of men who promised to make] good. In the province cf Quebec the plan has worked with as great a measure of success as it is possible for any plan( meat TIMMIX®K, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekiy Newspaper Association; Ontarioâ€" Quebe: Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26â€" PHONESâ€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 Mr. Habel would nImil Timmins, Ont., Thursday, Jan. 31st, 1935 TX ent eC how PAGE POUR will b Cbe Voroupine ha i ht WI op|J 1p the hat e admitted by all that th Premier Bennett for the ¢ d for social welfare is the l1 come before parliament Published Every Monday and Thursday by GEO LAKE, Owner and Publisher would be well et: ite th nd we nd A C A 1 de ha OrIT ad ~rting himself until h even after he is m« some way to make a he Notr ent tha ariier d by all that the legislation to be subâ€" Bennett for the economic benefit of the ‘ial welfare is the most impcrtant matâ€" vefore parliament at the present session 8@ well if all parties would drop partyism to do as much as may be done to give ‘al all the protection possible from exâ€" he assistance in cases of need.

Recent New York reports state that contracts for still further gold will be made right up to the last boat leaving Europe in time to reach New York before the Supreme Court ruling is due. s ‘‘Commenting on the desire Ccf President Rossefelt to keep his dollar down (and European currencies, espeâ€" clally sterling, up in relation to it) a New York journalist recently wrote of British bankers, They have been in }usiness quite a long time, and are not easily outmanoeuvred when in the foreign exchange market." "On the whole, British interests seem to have accepted a new stabilization point for sterling at around $5 to the pound, with good grace.
