With the slo- Iln "Freedom of Trade" st its mast- head, this consistently antl-protec- Elon newspaper cannot altogether agree that the volte face of the King Governmerrt~has been inspired by disinterested motives. The best that lt can say for the new tariff sche- dules is that ln contrast to the tar- iffs of many countries they repre- sent "a moderately low competitive tariff." The countervailing duties on United States agricultural products are declared to be “as openly pro- hibitive as they are retaliatory." The increased duty on New Zealand but- ter "reveals the opportunist spirit ln' which some of the duties were writ- ten." The Free Press admits that “it is flulio in order that the Conserva- tive opposition should claim tlre ere- , dit for securing the imposition of , this duty," since it was the opposi-l tion that "scared the Government' into putting it on" for a political purpose. The Free Press contends that for this “trivial mess of pot- tage" the Canadian farmers have "given away their moral right to ob- ject to an artificial enhancement, byl tariff manipulation, of the tools theyl use. the machinery they employ, the clothes they wear, and the imported food they eat, should this be the ef-E feet. of the present or a subsequenti tariff." | We have no doubt that the Free, Press says prectsely what the local Liberal organ would like to say if itl had the courage of its convictions;‘ but having predicted a humillatingi defeat at the polls if the Govern-3 ment should desert the "consumers", by increasing the tariffs on Anierl-f can steel and New Zealand butter, it has now either to swallow its pre- dictions or deliberately ignore that part. of the budget delivery dealing. with those matters. It has chosen the latter course, doubtless out of _ solicitude for the ,feelings of it: readers. - | The countervaillng duties imposed under the Dunning budget. howev- er. go farther than anything, propos- ed by :ne Conservatives. The pol- icy enunciated by Hon. R. B. Ben- nett. is not a "reciprocity of knocks" aimed exclusively at the United' States- Mr. Bennetts purpose is simply to safeguard Canadian indus- tries. to control Canada‘s markets for Canadians This can bc accom- plished. not by countervalllng or re- lstiatory duties but by general tar- iff rates sufficient to protect produc- ers of this country, giving at the Same time flue preference to Empire products. The King Government, even in its attempt to placate the rising sentiment in favor of protec- tion in its own party, has shown its iricornpetency: for the countervail- lim autres proposed 'win as united States ` little harm ahd Canadian reissue lieth good. _Rural Mail Carriers Pay Members of the Canadian Rural Mall 'Contractors' Association are continulnz the enorts that they have been making for several years plstto secure a revision of their relations with the post odioe department and an increase in their remuneration. They are the men (as a contemporary Vpoihtl out) who carry mall between p'oa't’ol!lces and railway stations (and deliver it on rural mail routes.

From the Government’s stand- point, it may be considered to work well when it ls applied in the pro- vision of rural mall services, if the cheapness with which those services are procured is the main consider- ation. The rural mail carriers assert that, from their standpoint. the con- tract system is far from satisfactory. By the nature of the competition for contracts to which it periodically gives rise, it tends, the carriers say, to reduce the amount of the remun- eration they receive for their services below the amount of the expenses they incur in order to furnish thole services. The`average length of lu rural mail contract route intthis' country is twenty miles and the av- erage price that the Government pays the contractor is 5732 a year, AknesBy]%elVby Former Suite Senator Eben S.

Switzerland ls trying to preserve _ I its eagles~the most characteristic of its native birds. ln recent years these birds have been almost exterminat- od by the peasants who claim that they are enemies of their poultry yard. To offset this the various Swiss bird clubs have come to the frcnt. with offers of indemnities to those who suffer loss from the eagles. In this way it. is hoped to preserve the birds which have been a pictur- esque feature of the Swiss Moun- tains. AIbcrt.a's annul context for the ex- termination of crows and gophers is announced, with caslvprlies totalling $2,300. .No one knows how many crows and gophers there would have 'been in this province if these yearly contests had never been held, but lveryone agree there are enough left to keep all the gun clubs and school- boys busy all summer. out of which he has to pay the cost of feeding his horses and maintain-| ing his vehicle or vehicles in run-1 ning condition. In the United' States the rural mail carrier is paid, a salary at the rate of $75 a year per mile of his route, is furnished with' uniform and horses and vehides or motor cars, and has two weeks' holi- day each year with full pay. Furth- ermore. the carrier in Canada has no assurance of a long tenure of his po- sition, inasmuch as he works under a contract of four years’ duration and must tender again for the con- tract at the end of each such period. The rural free mall delivery ser- vice is advantageous to t.he public both in the country and in cities and towns. It has brought rural dis-‘ tricts into closer touch than they otherwise would be with each otherl and with urban centres. lt is a fact- or in both social and business rela- tions. The carrlers who are em- ployed in this service have to cover their routcslsix days a week, in all kinds of weather, the year around. They have to handle registered mail and to carry and sell postage stamps. money orders and postal notes, and so have to shoulder a good deal of responsibility. Such men, the public will agree, deserve to be adequately remunerated. Eloquent Condemnation There is one event following the King Governments volte face on the tariff issue that will go down in par- liamentary history. It occurred when , the Opposition leader rose to speak on the budget. Mr. \Bennett dilated on the tragedy of bsokerr pledges arid charged that in enacting the coun-_ tcrvailing duties on United Statesl products the Government had aban- doned its policy of non-retaliation. Proceeding, the Conservative chief- tain said: “What is it, Mr. Speaker, that works havoc in human lives, that destroys the noblest of friendships. that blights all that is most sacred in our human relations? It is the loss of confidence that comes through ' disillusionment, through the broken pledges, the shattered ideals. the lost visions. thevanislred faiths.
