WATER rowan Ann FUEL ruminants

‘The Commission of Conservation has issued in pamphlgt form an ‘article by Mr. Arthur V. White,

‘the Commission's Consulting Engineer, on Water

Power and Fuel Problemmwhichscontains most in- teresting information on the subject. The necessity of substituting cheap power for the increasingly ex- pensive coal power by whiclfl-manufacturing is now carried on he assumes as generally recognized and at the outset he deals with some of the subjects which for some time past have been considered by the Commission. Among these are the applications involving the use of additional water for power pur- poses from the St. Lawrence river; the increased de- vclopment of power at Niagara Falls; detailed water power investigations in the province of New Bruns- wick, and cognate matters.

'In elaborating the subject several strikingly in-

teresting statements are made. One of these is that Niagara Falls is capable of furnishing 1,800,000 elec- trical horse powcr; another is a statement by the f-‘ucl Administration of the United States as follows: “Every _year the miners g0 in_to the ground and dig outcoal and the railroad. ships it for hundreds of miles, dragging back the empty cars until the amount mined is two and a quarter times the earth 21ml rock removed in digging the Panama Canal. It took sixteen years to dig the Panama Canal. The miners will dig two and"‘~aihalf Panama Canals this year; ‘ . In this connection it may be mentioned that Ca- nada imports from the United States, every year on an average, 22,500,000 net tons of coal out of a year- ly consumption of 34,800,000 tons.

The power available from Niagara Falls, of which only a fraction is being used, is only a very small fraction of all the waterpoyver available in Canada for the production of heat, light and motive

ses. The drain upon our coal supply is yearly in- creasing and is being expressed not. only in‘rapidly increasing prices but in scarcity as well. Is it not time that the energy now going to waste in our‘ riv- ors, our falls, our tidal waters, were harnessed to supplement or to substitute our decreasing coal suppby?

Mr, W'hite’s excellent treatise, a synopsis .of

I which is impossible in the space available, shows the

necessity of this conservation and the means by which it may be accomplished, and those interested in the subject would do well to send for a copy WlllCll we have no doubt the Conservation Commission at 0t tawa will supply on application.

We have rivers in this province whose power is being wasted while we are contributing our share to the extravagant waste of coal. Our rivers can be

s harnessed and, sooner or later, they shall be. The i subject is an intensely interesting one and what ahs

already been done elsewhere is a revelation, while the future holds out promises of indefinite- develop- ment. * a

A PRIMITIYE REMEDY

The Patriot’s proposed remedy for the present unfortunate political situation 1s a somewhat prim- itive one. It admits that all the Llberal pre-electron promises have been broken but asks us to forget it. Those who mention these broken Liberal promises, it dubs as agitators, Bolsheviki and Bashi Bazouks. The farmer who received a solemn promise from nis Liberal candidate that his taxes would not be ll";- creased is a Bolshevik if he. complains when he finds his taxes doubled.

The Patriot forgets that there are two sides to this as to almost all questions,‘ the side of the party who secured the gorvernnlent on false pretences and is playing the part of the ruthless oppressor, and the side of the injured and the deceived. It would make it very much pleasanter no doubt, for the former if the‘ latter submitted quietly and slavishly_and said nothing about the injury and the deception prac- tised upon him. But the latter has lllS rights and _1s not going to be lightly pushed aslde as a Bolsheyrl-z or an agitator. _ '= ""WV.

The fact is that this province has been duped and deceived as never before in its history. The Pat- riot and the government know this and the ‘peo- ple know it.-The gruelling the Liberal government is undergoing today at the hands of those whom 1t so shamefully deceived is good, wholesome proof that our people are honest and Will not submlt tame- ly to dishonesty on the part of others. Whatever the outcome of the present agitation may be, whether resignation and another election or a modification of ‘the legislation enacted, it will stand as a _warn- ing for all time to come to all politicians that~ 1f pre- election promises are made onlyto be defiantly brok en they will have an indignant electorate. to deal with. There is indignation, ,bo1b_rt_g indignation, throughout the province and t ere 1s good cause for it, and neither the Patriot's ugly names nor its ex- planations will allay it.

Its appetite for slander ls so keen that the home supply ls lrv- sufflclent, and it must libel and misrepresent the character-pot the poordliasblbasouk, the volunteer clement of the Turkish army who are no louder of "bakshish" than the raiders of our Provincial Trea- sury, and certainly not as coward» ly in their warfare as the Patriot and its Government devotees, There is not u llnc in the Liberal organs editorial, "Again With Us." that is not infinitely more appli- cable to its own political aggrega- tion than .lt is to the Turkish sol- dier.

O I I

-The Patriot seeks to _make s point by contrasting the education- al program of the Conservatives with that adopted by the Government. It compares liberal provision which Hon. Arsenauit proposed to make, from the government," with what was provided by the bungling School Act of last session. The childish logic of one argument, or inference which they wish to draw.

l ls that money paid by the district

direct to the teacher IS NOT A TAX UPON THE PEOPLE, whilst money paid to them out oi the Treasury would mean increased taxes upon the people. What rot to dish out to sensible people. its next conclusion is that these great- er salaries paid out of the Kcnerul treasury to the teachers, would in- volve u heavier taxation than that imposed by the Bell Government.‘ if the Arscnault Government were to pursue the extravagant Incl-hulls adopted by the present Liberal combination, there might he some- thing in the IPBLIIDK’: contention. But that was not the Conservative platform. Their proposal was to tax only for educational purposes. sud only to the entent of 375.000- Tlrey had not tho slightest lnten

tlon of taxing everything TANG- IlBLE AND INTANGIBLE to the tulle of about $400,000 for the pur~

pose of increasing their owp salar- ies aud sesslonni ludernnities, and

of finding offices and employment for an increased horde of useles ' officials. There is a vast differ’; sncc between the two proposals. '
