He began hy taking a vary candid it somswhnt pessimis‘ tic view ot the oountry's economic situation and gave a detailed ac- count or the d’inancial problems in t-he way o! idebt, reiunding anu other matters which lie bedon us. ‘His view is'that the present sources or taxation will yield a considernbly smaller sum in the current year than last year and that as the es- tinfates have only been slightly cur taiied the gap between revenue and expendilu‘l‘e will 'be very serions so lie proposes additional taxation. He announced more tarit! changes t-hnn had heen expected. ’l‘he Pro- gressives. who seem likely tu miss their goal both in regard t0 the W'hest Board and treight rates, had to 'be conciliated in soma degree and a reduction ot dattes on farm machinery a’nd the other necessities or lire like wooiens. was provided. On the other hand the rates on a number or lumry articles 'have beau rnised. Mr. F'ielding‘s low tariif proclivlties aroused proteste i‘rom seine of his colleagues.
