Sim-The return of the Liberal Government to power by a [gn- rriiioniil majority in Thursday's gcnrrol election in Nova Scotia is an rvcnt of much significance. It ghous an appreciation of good gov. cinmcnt. it stamps the mark of ap- proval on tho Dominion-Provincial tax nut-cement. negotiated by Prem- lt-r Alticdonaid. It re-affirms once morn the abiding faith ot the vot- 411's "i Liberalism and is another rieiir-osr that will lead to victory on lllt.‘ 27th. Newfoundland has ;~lil|l\"li, New Brunswick is almost ll|lElllll1l0llS so it is now up to this Piiilnco to elect four Liberals in oi-tli-r thot Maritime Canada may 5pc ik with a united voice‘ and be- i-on.» a strong unit in the Liberal gfnuillfllflil that will govern Can- ado for the next five years. A notable victory on Thursday was in» l"llli"fl of two Liberals for l\'.r s County, N. S.

when Mr. Fleming of Toronto spfiltt" at O'Lcary' recently he dwelt iiiih the subject of "Orders-in- roiiiii-ii“ and denounced in strong linciioge this method of adminis- tration on the part of the Liberal government. l-le pointed to the iiiiiiihcr of Orders passed to prove iiia iniquity of procedure and he iiititriaied that when the Conser- \'fill\t“S got in power they would no BWily with this sort of business ivliich was undermining parliamen- li\l'_\’ government. He repeated his rhnrpcs the next day at Montague. (tititrs-in-Council are a nightmare \\illl Mr. Fleming; since his election la i945 he has been harping on this .\ill‘_lt'f‘t continuously but no person ivorries over his protestations. The iiiost of his charges are pure bun- romhc. Now, what is an “Order-in- Foirucil". It ls exactly what its l\l‘l‘(lS indicate. The Cabinet, that is to say, the executive branch of government are continuously meet- ing in Council to transact govern- nicnt business. They do a lot of routine work such as the appoint- nicnt of a Postmaster, a Customs Officer. a Lighthouse Keeper and in forth and in every case when a decision is arrived at it is re- duced to writing and when duly authenticated becomes an "Order- iri-Councii". Sometimes a public inquiry becomes necessary or a lltttal Commission is to be appoint- tti or regulations are to he formu- l-itoti and in each case an "Order- in-Ctiuncii" is issued, in fact gov- crnment business could not be car- ricti on without such procedure. ll ls part of our system of parlia- l""lillii'_\' government. in l IP98 rii illt-Ulillif‘ system and it ll tryias to hooiiiiitik the people when Mr. Fleming with all his legal know- ledge irit-s to argue otherwise.
