Saturday april 18, 1925 19 letters to the editor Rural taxation of Gove ziment lands would hasten c Meletion of Bay settlers for can the age of Methuselah the Farmers Union Ada government lands Tho supplementary Revenue . This Bill vans passed granting the above mentioned rebate from 1917. During Tho discussion of the above measure among Tho government group we Dis covered that a number of members were opposed to the measure but the majority favored it and the balance agreed to Compromise and support the Bill in us modified form. I cite Thia expert me to Point out that it a necessary if we Are to accomplish and provincial lands they Titis tha tar of Ste Wool a mip Porte o favored Mely.

Mcgregor then states that Dur ing the debate on the Mckinnell Resolution on the revaluation of Soi dlera1 lands he stated in Lake View municipality 60 per cent of the Soldier farms had been abandoned. Whereupon major Taylor the conservative Leader said there were probably just As Many civilian abandonment. Or. Langdon heard this from the gallery and was very Indig Nant and asked or. Mcgregor to give the House the actual number of civilian abandonment. This he did in spite of opposition from major Taylor to his being allowed to read the Telegram containing the inform decided Largo number Tion. Langdon witnessed this. Of sold Tor settler lands being devel xes for a number of years and also in Many instances being located in the older settled Dis Tricia of the province and suddenly reverting to Tho Crown thus deprive j ing tire municipalities of a consider Able portion of their Long established sources of Revenue that they were in a different position from Provin Cial government Landu for tha Fol lowing reasons the Lamia owned by the prov Ince Are with very few exceptions.

Mcgregor writes but eight Days later he was reported As at tending. A conservative rally at the town of Alonza and speaking in sup port of major Taylor and of or. Ham clan As one of his followers. Or. Mcgregor Alsi Eye that at or.

Major Taylor objected to the form of the Bill and it was withdrawn and a new draft or dered from the proper officer. Or Langdon however cancelled the or Der but or.

Brandon correspondent in Tho Frea press complains of grave errors in press reports by his own account leaves the origin o the Union As doubtful As Ever. We do not know scrom his explanation we tier it arose from the internal dissensions of Saskatchewan Grain a rowers or was the outcome of for eign disturbances. His statement i the purpose of the Union is just As obscure. The use of Tho term econ Omic emancipation reveals an impatience with a steady process of improvement and a preference Tor revolutionary rather Thau evolutionary measures. The inferences from this letter and Tho Tenor of the addresses of organizers As recorded in news papers leads to the that the Union is correctly described As a secret society for revolutionary Pur poses. If we Aro wrong in that conclusion it is because statements to that effect made by its friends have been allowed to go without Contra diction. However such questionable Means cussing the situation to a desirable end May be accepted j to Tillat people wl10 if conditions warrant extreme areas ures and if the leaders of the move ment Are worthy of Complete conf j Clence. But allowing that secrecy is j permissible makes it All the More 1m 1 portent that the character and Meta this we have established the Twenty. Hour Day. Turning to chapter eight of the same Book versa four teen mos-5s writes and in Tho second month on Tho seventh and twentieth Day of the month was the Earth Here we have author to that there were at least Levin Days in the month. Five of the chapter reads thus Ana the Waters decreased continually until Tho tenth we would be Nuite justified in assuming the full month and year As we know it out it Ruring it out on the above basis would give Methuselah a life Span of Bour seven Hundred and Harty one years which even this reduced rite is a Rupa old when one considers that the Early hebrew was a language without vowels sentence division Para graphing Etc. It seems quite reason Able to consider such apparent errors As mis translations of ancient writings. P. F. Tavaner. Portage la Prairie april 3.

But in any Case what is an essay my diminutive dictionary describes an As a trial an Endeavor an sex thus to my mind Tach the blame where it belongs. Are we wrong in thinking that East Ern interests and influences with affiliated Western interests Are entirely responsible for the tying up of the project old be a dogs questions Only tend to confirm the idea that the on to the Bay association Are going to have a lot of position to contend with even after the railway and dieted and this u n the editor the letter of t. Of St. Norbert Man. Me would i should judge by the trend of Lis letter be an admirer of the stalwarts of the various Farmer movements that Havo to successfully fought Tho Battle of Progress against far fun Odda. It la a fact that the to called failures of the various endear ors of Tho associated Farmers be it in whatever movement they have worked have in spite of apparent collapse and disintegration been the Breeding grounds of the ideas that Are being explained and discussed a this time. It is in the practice the ideas that have been temporarily set aside that we Are to find the solution to the Hiosent economic problems. I mean that the original drafts of rules and regulations set up to govern the plans and designs of the. Organized Farmers Ira being applied today. It is just As True today As it was in the Days of b. A. Partridge and Roderick Mckenzie that we Are in need of Ijo Methins that Wilt give the Farmer a Chance to get a fair return for his a . What then is that something that is needed and who is hold Enosh and courageous enough to state the the Man who is on the heavily encumbered and at his wits ends to find encourage ment to go on or Tho Man who Hus accumulated enough h to be indifferent to the plight of the majority of the agriculturists of the Wop id the so called substantial Farmer is in nine cases out of ten the last Man in Tho to Islyn anything that will Benefit his neighbor. The m an who is most in need of help is Tho party Wiio a roast anxious to get service by giving some. In the change of the present Situa Tion because it certainly is in need of a drastic Relief it is up to every thinking Farmer to study carefully the speaker or writer a to is Dis Harbor Aro determined opposition Only proves to us that Bur project is looked upon As . Even by our opponents. Long prior to the decision of the Laurier government to open up the Hudson Bay route the Dominion government had sufficient information t on tile to prove the feasibility of the Hudson Bay outlet. I apparently the Laurier Tovern l ment s objective Point was Chur Hlll and if they had not been put out of Power in 1011 we would have had our front door opened at Chi Urchol about 1912, or thereabouts but influences apparently brought to Bear on the incoming government changed the objective Point to Nelson. Why seemingly to delay the project and Damn westerners in outlet. Easterners if conditions warrant extreme Meas i out of the Union arc Wise is Assum ing that the. Men who have joined Are and that will have to be ods of the controlling minds should proved As we go . The Chal Lenge is Ever open to Hax e a debate on the subject at. Any time and in any pm Acyl that the people May Dearig there natural wanted some plan to tie up the outlet for All time fearing if once opened up for traffic the ports on the Hudson Bay would soon take the rank of firs Rule ports and relegate Eastern ports to lower rank. This is no time to enter into the merits or demerits of fort Churchill or Nelson harbours As Tho monetary times an Eastern publication pointed out. It would be a suicidal policy not to Complete the under taking without delay after so Many millions of dollars have been spent. Many members of the . Feel that the natural advantages enjoyed by Churchill As a Harbor will shortly be taken advantage of especially for tha Benefit of tile peace River District and Northern Alberta and Northern Saskatchewan. Owing to the curvature of the Earth it would be a much Shorter haul to Hudson Bay ports. The further North tile trunk lines Are built Lead ing West from Bay ports the Shorter the haul not Only for the Northern districts but for Southern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan As Well. By running northeasterly to connect with the trunk lines running West from the Bay they would set the shortest possible hauls from All Western Points to Bay most of Central and Southern Saskatchewan connect favourably via the Pas on Hudson Bay line to Nelson and a railway on the East Side of Lake Winnipeg to connect with the present line around Kettle rapids would give the shortest route for Winnipeg and Moat of Manitoba also Tho american states to the South of Manitoba. A member of the . It go at that but there Are a couple of questions or. Editor i would like to ask through the medium of your valued paper 1. The British s Over neut finds and the Canadian government finds Ance the land. Who pays the bal if any. Further assistance is necessary who pays the other expenses such As advertisement trav Elling and settlement Board expenses and to How much Are such expenses Likely to amount Par family of settlers 2.

Winnipeg. De. The Empire settlement scheme is an arrangement Between the British and Cana Dian govern ments for the special purpose of bringing out settlers from great Britain which has a considerable surplus population. Each settler has some Money of his and this with the Aid of the two governments is believed to be All they will require. The expense of advertising selection of immigrants Etc., is All a part of the general expenditure for securing desirable classes of immigrants and this believed to be a. Sound National investment.

Farmers Ami have been closely As agreed with him on two very in Sola Tell with the work of agrarian j Porlant Points Progress All their lives. The ideas Havo been discussed for Yearb , co operation and organization have borne Tho fruits which embodied in the present struggle for the economic emane Ipa that the upheaval is often accompanied by a mania for destruction i and from what has been so far re i a cared the spirit of the Union is in accordance with this propensity. Its attitude towards the Farmers Grain companies is an instance of this. Their chief objection to these institutions appears to be that they j have made a Success of their business while working through the Grain Exchange they choose to ignore the fact that there has been no other Way of disposing of Grain in Large quantities. They allow no credit for the Good management which enabled these companies to carry out against the fiercest kind of opposition their intended reformation of Tho Grain Trade. And that this has been accomplished without impairing Tho capital entrusted to them in pleasant contrast to the fare of so Many Farmers enterprises. To is Idle for Union adherents refer to exhibitions of brotherly kindness among themselves while falling to recognize and acknowledge the Worth of such valuable services. When the pooling system was first proposed it was obviously an advantage to use the experience and facilities of Tho banners own companies already gained at some expense As a basis for a wider establishment. But Tho suggestion was so violently of nosed by the same element that is still antagonistic that the promo billion. Was not pressed at the time. How Ever Pool members will soon have to definitely decide which of these two distinctly different kinds of policies they wish to Havo carried out and if the principle were adopted that is embodied in the Constitution of the banners Union of Canada that Farmers confine themselves to the one subject the solution of the economic problem there would not to much time left for disparaging re Marks about the minor details.

If we propose to eventually own ail our Grain marketing machinery it will be necessary to raise much More capital and if Farmers Are asked to contribute on the understanding that they Aro willing to forego All their interests in present and presumably future investments there la not Likely to be a very Genera response. Farmers Havo surely had enough of that kind of experience to satisfy their generous inclination for some time and to teach the need of pre caution if unnecessary losses Are to to avoided in the future. The mis takes of the past were duo. Mainly to misplaced Confidence in men of Small natural or acquired business ability. But these misfortunes should raise our appreciation of the Only instruments of proved efficiency we pos sess and urge us to make every Effort to retain their services for fur ther usefulness. The Extension of the pooling system to the Selling of coarse grains and flax affords a favourable Opportunity for their Adan employment As the Satis factory disposal of our wheat crop is Quito enough to take up the undivided attention of one management.
