WEDNESDAY. OUIDIBB i. 1885. Political Interference i v l l . F The LEA Government has been notoriously fictive in finding jobs for its “family friends", but the revelation 0f flagrant political interfer- lence in the work of the trans-Canada highway ,undcr the Dominion unemployment relief grant “comes as a shock even to those who had some tinkling of what was goiilg on behind the scenes. jlt is indeed, as Mr. McLURE remarked at the _aCrapaud meeting, a serious matter to our tax- Qpayers and unemployed if, in addition to being “saddled with Liberal dictatorship provincially iiwe are to have the agreement \vith the Dominion {Government violated and the penalty clause ‘finvoked involving a hold-up of the federal con- ytribution, simply because jobs mustlbe found for Xrelatives of Premier LEA or any member of his icabinet. : The agreement is specific that no discrimin- jation shall be made or permitted against any citi- Zzen by reason of his or her political affiliation, {race or religions views. In the casc citedyby Mr. EMCLURE, the charge of political discrimination ;is specific. - _ Nor is it the only specific case which has occurred. At the CONWAY pit, where gravel is I-being loaded for highway work, two other mar- ;ried workmen with families, suspected of being lConservative, were dismissed for no given reason sand their places filled by two Liberals-single "men—-the sons of active Liberal workers in the {provincial election In yet another instance a ’youth just under voting age, of a Liberal family liwho had been given employment by the Conser- {vativcs because he was the sole support of his Imother and invalid father, was fired on the lassumption that his parents had supported Mr. iSHAEP. His job was taken/by a young man llwho had been active in drivinghis car for Mr. FSHARPE opponent at the election. H In the foregoing cases the pit foreman re- §|fuscd to discharge good workmen" for the benefit “Inf political heelers, but pressure was brcught to iibcar on someone “higher up", and the changes pjfwere efIected-wiolating, in each and every case, the “no discrimination" clause under which the lffederal grants were obtained by the MACMILLAN Ejadministration. The Conservatives when in oFfice adhered lstrictly to the agreement, making no distinction ;politicall»y or otherwise where employment was iconcerned. The result was so satisfactory that inot even a Liberal Auditor General at Ottawa ‘tcould find fault with the unemployment relief gadministration in this Province. Now the situ- ,ation has changed with a vengeance ! lcxhaps the LEA Government is averse, on ' n principles, to co-operation with the air administration. Perhaps it is hoping, n the event of the grants being discontinued, j-Ilhat it can lay the blame on Ottawa, while, in fifhe meantime, profiting politically. by yiolating lithe agreement right and. left. Initany case, its Epigh-handed actions are of serious concern to the Eelectors. Like their federal Liiberal colleagues, 0M1‘. LEA and his followers in Opposition did Ehothing but criticise and misrepresent the efforts Eiwlhich Conservative governments, here and at gbttawa, made in providing work and remuner- llf tion for the unemployed. rgu; They have seized the first opportunity of ithrowing a political monkey wrench into the ' Eworlts. w l. l -§ Flouting Democracy '; PREMIER LEA's claim that his’ Three Million Dollar Blank Cheque session of the Legislature cost only $20 is based on an astounding assump- ltlition. This assumption is that the $300 paid in iiiindemnities to members will be deducted t the next regular session. This money Elias been paid out of the treasury-tenpdollars to icach Liberal stalwart-without any vote or {authorization of any kind in the House. It will gum be voted until the Estimates are passed next w war-mans ill/larch. By that time, some of the members may {be dead; others, like Mn. DEuNis, may have re- lsigued in disgust. Even if no vacancies occur, "pvhat right has the Government to dip into next year's appropriation for the purpose, as Mn. CLURE well said, of “sugar-coating” the three illion dollar borrowing bill which the members lhad subsequently to swallow. The whole trans- faction is illegal and tmconstitutional. It. is a gnglaring example of the travesty of democracy lpwhich occurs under dictatorships.

Thelatter is one of the biggest trust corporations in_the Dominion, and holds hundreds of millions of dollars of deposits owned by the people for safe-keeping and in- vestment. Is there a thoughtful depositor in the Dominion who, after carefully considering the matter, believes that his money would be more safely and profitably handled if the banks were under political control? Surely the fine record maintained by Canadian banks during the long years of the depression, in which not a single dollar of deposits was lost, shouldbe a strong argument against the captious criticism of Can! ada’§_ financial fabric which is so popular in certain quarters. Lilith That “Old Soldiers Never Die" was amply proyen by the reunion of the Canadian Corps dumlg 1934. Encouraged by this memorable event many Overseas Units have since formed associations for the perpetuation of their indiv- idual records within the corps. Such an event is the Reunion of the 11th Siege Battery, C.E.F., _which will be held in Montreal, Saturday, Oc- tober 12th, when it is anticipated a large number of veterans of this famous unit will assemble for the first time since the termination of the Great War. The 11th Siege Battery was re- cruited largely in the Maritime Provinces and many Maritime veterans are expected to attend. A strong. committee under the chairmanship of MAJoiz W. G. ScuLLY, former commanding of- ficer, is in charge of arrangements. Inquiries should be addressed to EomE DELO, 36o McGill Street, Montreal. ~ Siege Battery, C. E. F. \ Editorial Notes .

To straighten this adverse balance we have, each year, sold $200,000,000 of our assets, such as bonds, mort- gages, properties, etc. This has gone on unttl those who lfve outside of Canada own $6,000,000,000 of Canadian asset-s, equal to all the wealth west of Wlimlpeg or all east of Montreal. About one- quarter of our entire wealth. On this we must pay interest of $1,000- 000 every day.

Drs. Etlenne and Cones-son of Nancy. France, recently reported their observations as to the part played by the imperfect work of the llver 1n causing migraine. They report three types of migraine; (l) the usual severe one sided heed- aches occurring from time to ttme; (2) the cases 1n which the one eld- cd hesdsuh ts present praotlcally all the time, with s feeling apoc- lally on uwakenlng of a confused mental stats, nausea often wlthout vomiting, fatigue, and fnabfllty to concentrate and to work; (ll) the same as the second typo only per- iods when the headache becomes more severe.

In twelve other cases the same result was ob- tained only after two months. 1n the remaining eighteen cases the attacks disappeared after n. longer lutervul. Eight eases are not lu- cluded because they have not. been followed for a. sufficiently long time. In» all, thlrty-seven cases of the forty-five who were given only the above Eedlclnes to stimulate llver notion ere relleved completely of their attacks. Now it la not my’ intention to suggest. that sufferers from mfg- rsfne should ‘fmmedlately start on b course of alkalfes and blle stimulat- lng .
