M violation of with the predecessor of Kelly such is the official record of the judgment of the railway commission we Iii the Borderi a minded. All the with i the government and the railway commission. Last week was made doubly memorable in. The annals of tie Dominion i railway commission. On the wednesday judge Mabee was Laid in his grave and on the Friday for the first time since Canada has had a railway commission the absolute Tower of the Dominion the com Mission was exercised by the action 01 our. Borden and his Cabinet colleagues or. Quashing the judgment pronounced by Mabee in the Haa Ehon town site Case on december 19 last. It is not to be wondered that As a result Public attention from end to end of the Dominion is fixed upon the Hazel ton Tow site Case. The authority of the Cabinet at of Tavra Over the railway commission having never before been exercised since the commission wan created by parliament in 1903, the circumstances of this first occasion of its exercise Are naturally being subjected by the pub Lic to close scrutiny. Thai supreme Power of the government Over the commission has been strikingly pro claimed to the people of Canada by ibis action of or. Borden and his col leagues. The provision of the rail Way act giving the government this the exception of commissioner Ber Uler were present at tli.2 1 Anil the decision tvs Unin Loub i also it expire used in Languido of notable direct near Foice and by Verity. The .-iudsmen1 Speaks for itself s and ground Lor serious doubt to Thi i Ponet us the government action a fact to lie to me in Irma in connection with this Cass is that lots totalling nearly Nave been sold in the Kelly Tow site at Hazelton another fact of interest is uia.1 the owner of this Situ As is known is a. Leading Liberal m brits i Colum Bia and leading politicians or the opposite Side Are understood to 1r-tn tutors of j Tariff changes by Oudjk Council. A the circulation of those rumours is a distinctly new Dodge in Canadian f the Demitr 611181 be m Tei ested in the project of another town site Jun to have made common cause with the to have the stalk no rated in lot sol the Vancouver Sun m regard to the action of till Dominion government that the government of Boltish Columbia or at least some of its members have been 111 securing this r Versaile of the railway Commisa on ? order it is not a reversal of the com Mission s order however that has been Secu Iod but its cancellation Liat the Dominion has ordered a that the Case be reheard if upon the rehearing the reverse itself. Commission Dies a ill the Borden presume to exercise its Power of ordering a reversal Public Terest is aroused in regard to Case and the outcome will be watched with close attention. Mini str of finance has with Lierni so dec and made lit impossible that Cali be made of them for election purposes it the government has authority whatever to Matee tons or Mcie ases m the by order in Council that authority less with parliament alone All that can be done is trader the authority of Section 2s6r of the act and the co Ordin ated Section 92 of the audit sections give the government authority to make provi Sions As for example the the duty on Coal last of the conditions created by the strike in the i Western mine.

Grand trunk i Pacific Kaii Ivay company entered into contract with one Whealer who was the predecessor of Koberl of Vancouver in title by which it bound to locate its Hazelton station on Dot s8x group 3, Cassiar District. Storage elevators in Saskatchewan. The erection of Interior storage elevators of Large capacity at Trade Cen tres in Saskatchewan is something of an Issue in the provincial contest now pending there or. Haul Tam is prom Ising the electors that such elevators will be erected if he is returned to Power. The Scott government con cedes that there should be these facilities but says that the duty of their construction devolves upon the do minion though indicating a willing Ness to do something in the matter if the Dominion fails to act. J. A Maharg president of the Grain growers association for the province is strongly of the opinion that the Dominion government should build these elevators and gives Good reasons for us Buchel such a says or. Maharg to meet the requirements of tha situation must make full provision 101 the inspection grading and be going of Cedell established m the Selchon judge Magee Andi.

In the place it to Aid hardly be right to expect one province 10 pro vide such a system unless All three Prairie Pios inces did like i e if for example Saska Shewan expended Sev eral ill lion of dollars to provide a system of Interior storage and the other Prairie provinces did not do so the insult would be that the people of Saskatchewan would be Bearin whole Cost of a measure of r the ships i therefore expire than 1wo years.

Would have always the Taine fit of the Advance in prices. I wonder How Mucor the hampers paid Osgood for those delightful farces that Howells contributed to the Maga Zine. These farces began in the at lactic and continued in Harper s. Some of them were performed in.

So no succeeded in getting from the owner of lot s51 what the owner of lot 882 re if Ned to give them and in does not require Nuch kno wac use of these of talks to justify the conclusion that that a Ifil that alone was the moving cause in changing the location of Tho. Station or at least in attempting to change the location of the lot ss2 to lot 851." ill i. I farther on in the judgment judge Mabee quoted an nanpu coment by the in t. P., headed to the Tib which said grand trunk Pacific towns to Bough a Azelton is situate i on lot s5i, land it is the intention of the com Sipany to build a station on this town is the in the Spring of 1912." j said judge Mabee company in effect repudiate their and Are advertising Benefit from such a system even if provided at the sole expense of of province renders it to my mind a subject for Federal rather the san provincial the erection of these Elevi Tois is regarded a temporary expedient until the outlets for the Pic suits of the West Are enlarged urging1 this policy at the annual meeting of the Grain growers association or Maharg said the development of Saskatchewan is Only just started providing conditions Are improved so that new settlers can Narket their produce in time to protect themselves from loss and hard ship. What is the solution the Southern outlet is practically closed the Northern outlet is years away As yet the Eastern and Western outlets Are entirely inadequate it appears to me that the Only immediate solution is by providing some system of Intel a storage where the settlers can secure weight and Grade for their Gran to enable them to finale on the the next few years will see a great crease in the facilities i Foi trans station porting the products of the Prairie provinces. Leaving out of cons Ideia Tion the possibility of a Narket being provided South of the Lino by the re Moval by Congress of the duties on too Stutts the channels to the sea will increase in nun Ber and in capacity.

The Toronto Telegram is Mist Mac upon the Borden government declaring a Jehad upon the Liberal government in Saskatchewan and putting it out of business of course the Telegram does not realize that every article of this nature that it published is a vote getter for the government it wishes to de stroy.

The lands for Sale in i town site Competition with what i presume is trying to exploit on lot 882, and on which they promised the Public that a station will be built in the leering 1912. Within three or four i months. Now it is perfectly apparent that there is Only one thing to be alone in this Case. Company has get to carry out its agreement. It is a Public scandal that a railway corporation should go about the country and obtain convey ances of this kind under false pre sences. If a private individual had done ii Liat this company through vials has done he would landed in the Penitentiary at any rate he ought to be in the Penitentiary. The and was obtained through the grossest deceit on the part of the representatives of this company arid it is a breach of Faith of. The worst character that they should attempt to inc pud Date their contract. I it is True that the Tima is not yet Ripe for the construction of the Sta Ilion. The read is not built. It is not to open or traffic but an order May go requiring the grand trunk Pacific company to construct and have ready for use by the Public a Sta Tion the plans to be filed and approved by the Board s Engineer on lot ss2, where it was intended origin ally to construct it.

If Interior storage elevators Are a necessity now they May remain equally necessary for Many years to come. In a spirit of exaggeration designed to annoy the object of us attentions the Toronto world says thai the Globe by its attitude on the railway rate1? question is destroying thai Liberal party in Western Canada.
