Reductions ' Sought

Reduction of three cents s. bushel or five cents per 100 pounds of pot- atoes in carload lets to meet re- ductions in Ontario and Quebec was sought. Truck competizion in On- tario was responaibic for reduced potato rates in the central porvinl cos.

Him. Hugh Guthrie, chief of the Railway Commission, and his col- leazues were mot with objections voiced by J. K. Smith as soon as the hearing opened today. Manager of the Transportation Commission o1 the Montreal Board cf Trade, Mr. Smith said he was also authorized to oppose proceeding on behalf of the Toronto Board. Neither of these bodies had been notified of the heuring,'hc said, and the applica- tion contained implications which they wished to consider carefully and upon which they wished to make representations. He wanted six weeks to study the‘ situation and to gather the views of mem- bers ‘of the board 11¢ represented.

“Little Dilainry"

Remarking that the Montreal and Toronto Boards of Trade had perhaps “bten a lititle dilatory" in connection with the application, the Chief Commissioner suggested

them an indication of the nature of the Maritime requests. He did not, however, wish to prejudice in- terests of any person or organization and suggested an adjournment of a week for the benefit of the Mon- treal and Toronto boards.

For the applcants, Hon. J. L Ralston stressed the urgency u! early action. The potato shipping season was here, and winter rates became effective Dec. 1. He thought i: the Board felt an adjournment was justified it should be as brief as possible.

After some further discussion during which the Chief Commis- sioner emphasized that the case W35 an impmtant one, and he was anxious that no one should be pre- judiced, the Board ruled for an adjournment until Dec. 12 when all parties interested will be expected to be ready to proceed.

There are great currents of opin-

which run counter to the Premier's

views. The rmige of these counteri opinions is wide.

A view much expreaed down-

town ycsierday, was that there would be elections very soon, in

Flebruazy even, meaning thereby that the government could not go even one session without finding that it was helpless to enact legis-

lation. As against this certain con- siderations are given expression, foremost being the. opinion that within the ranks of the 42 mem- bers of the Opposition are men who finding themselves membe n of the Legislature unexpectedly, are so happy at this consummation that they do not wish to risk an abrupt termination of their public careers, thus going down in history as mem- bers o! a few days. This does not nscessarfly mean that they fear de- feat st the hands of government candidates, but that they might not

There ls another reason, one of a material nature, which is pointed to in "expert" political circles as against the idea that the coming session will not last out its term. The indemnity matter is important to many of the Opposition mem- bers, and, of course, is also im- portant to government. members. To gain the indemnity, which is $2,500, plus $300 for expen‘ es, it requhes that the session last 30 sittings. Dis- solution of the House and the ccn- sequent precipitadon of another election would mean no indemnity, but a mere $10 per day. It is here that a majority, even when very slim, as in the present instance, counts as much as even a larger
