RAILWAY FREIGHT RATES

1n his excellent. speech on the Address, a report of which was given in yesterday's Guardian, Hon Dr. McMillan referred to the hand- icap imposed upon agriculture by the prevailing high freight rates- This is one of the great [treble-ms of today and until it is solved pro- gress in agriculture will be serious- ly checked. The ‘Financial Titties of March 14, declares that the tin- satisfactory agricultural condition in Canada today, and the cessation of immigration into Canada are both due in large measure to the high cost of transportation. The Times, in the course oi the article says:-

“Tbe Canadian Railway hill has increased 150 million dollars per annum in the last five years with no increase to the amount of busi- ness handled. still draws the peak of war time wage. the farmer indirectly pays his lion's share of this exorbitant

Notes By the Way

__v_ Protectlonlot Liberals have been

Government. Two oi these Mr. Eitior nf North Waterloo and Mr. Raymond oi Brantford, have tn their speeches laid down an ultima- tum to Premier King that if he car- ries out his ominous threat as to tariff reduction he will loso their support. Mr. Raymond went lur- ther according to the general inter- pretation of his words, and advised tho Liberal party to tiepose Prom- ier King, or failing this, for cach member to look out. for hlinself- Mr. liuymond is a prominent member of the Liberal party. although first elected in 1921. Mr. Euler has been longer in Parliament and both he and Mr. Raymond are men of mark- ctl ability. ‘

“it is the Pilot I am going to blame," said Mr. Raymond, using a

nautical figure of speech,“ I say that if the Government have on

board a false, or a wrong pilot. if they are taking advice from a man who rcall_v does not know tho coast they are on, they had better drop him or get rid oi him and strike for tho open W810i‘ if they want to be safe." lt has been a generation since a prominent pnrty man has used such wordsas these toward his leader in Parliament, and they created no small sensation among the members.

The existing critical situation arises from the complete surrender to the Progressives foreshadowed in the speech from the throne at the opening of the session and from Premier King's own speech. lt is the more significant from the fact that only 21 Liberals were elected to the 1101189 of Commons lu Oti- tario in 1921, while only last sum- mer what remained of the Liberal party in that province was utterly rnutcd at the general provincial election. Since then the bye-elec- tions in Halifax and Kent have further diminished the Liberal strength in the House of Commons. And now on top of these losses (ZOHIPS the revolt of Liberal support in tho House.

You have sometimes felt a pain

abdomen, just a little to tho inner side of the point of the hip bone. You have said to yourself “if that pain were on the right side, I'd think l had appendicitis."

Because as n matter of fact it is almost exactly in the corresponding position to the appendix on the right side.

What is this pain?

Simply gas pressure.

Why does gas lodge there?

Well. the large intestine is pract- ically a reservoir for all the mat- erial that is of no further use to the body.

it has-a long straight drop. from a point almost opposite the stom- ach on the left side of the hody down to the hip bone.

it then curves intrard. then straight downward, and then in- ward again. Thus an actual “S" citrvt» is formed within the space oi‘ a few inchcsi.

You can sce thou that with the tube a little sntullel‘ in (calibre) nt this point anyway, and then an “S" curve in it, that any unusual ac- cnmulutioti of gas is going to cutise distension and very often some pain, because of the difficulty of passing two sharp t-tirves.

As a matter of fact there is an "S" curve on the right side also. where the small and the large in- trstinc come together-

Pas likewise scctiniuiates

and (vauses pain and distress. The only point here is that you might take it for appendicitis anti worry about it. »

_ 0n the other hand if you thought it ivcre only gas, lt-might possibly be a supporatltig appendix, and tints would be lost.

What is my suggestion?

if you have pain in the abdomen that. seems to shift from place to place itmcz-ins gas only.

lf in the loft lowcr side it is likc- ly also gas.

And to relieve 1111-1111111‘?

_ Simply bend or rock the hody ironi side to sitic, and the gas will be itiovml along.

it‘ sevcaro. the ordinary soup and water injection is affective.

Andlf the pain is on the right shit‘?

Those huwcvcr who object to this systciu,‘ complain that $50,000,000 of the government's litdobtetlness has been transferred to Railway account, the amount having‘ been borrowed for the railway but still remaining a debt of the Dominion. The transfer will balance the bud- get, no doubt, but the debt of the country is not reduced.

This "balancing" of the budget is already being heralded throughout the country as an evidence of the "economical" administration of the King government!

We in this tirovince have learn- ed much during the past four years nbout "balancing the budget" and having a surplus at the end of each year. This period in our history is still referred to by' some people as an "era of stirpluses.“ and in moments of extreme exuberatlon as "the golden era." Yet there has exists-d throughout the "golden era" a strong suspicion that the lmdket was being "balanced" ac- cording to political rather than mathematical or financial rules and it is well known that no ac- counting of this "era of surpluses" has yet been made public. it is therefore a little premature to boast too loudly or to msks dispar- aging comparisons with alleged ex- travagance! by the Stewart govern- ment whose financial achievements
