It may bo Meighen and il mav not, hut lhe people ol'Canada sure should look ahead of lhe present and t'O'Lsider which of the policies of lhe three leaders will be Uic best for the country five, ten, twenty or more years from now. :. The Crerar policy is nothing more, than a policy with a lillle sugar-coating "on it 16 please dissalished Liberals, and undoubtedly is in favor of free trade with the country lo the south of us. The present Liberal Leader-says that it was a big mistake to have defeated the reciprocity treaty of 1911.. The Meighen government wants lo carry out lhe same old policy of-protection lhal was first placed be- fnrf> the people of Canada by Sir John A. Macdonald in 1879. Yoii have vour choice of policies and il you agree that protection.is the proper thing you will agree that "Canada Needs Meighen" and if you are in. favor ol a tree trade policv vou \yill decide otherwise. We need the policy thai will develop this dominion of ours during lhe next few years and make a place for our young men and women so thal'lhey will not want to leave our country for any other in order lo make a living���������Canada will he good enough for them. There must surely be something wrong when our po pulation has increased, to such a small extent during the past ten years. The people come and go���������we d.< not appear to be able to hold them. We need a policy that will make abundant work in Canada for all lhe people who wish to make Canada I heir homc--:or in other words protect our industries and our workh'.en. Let us vole accordingly..

'and that its rejection should receiv. inu condemnation of the Canadian people, and express the earnest hoj>������ for the renewal of such an arrangement.' The platform advocates an increase of levenueTrom taxation o> l.'usines's profits arid income. Tlit government platform proses that th:-, tariff shall be/sq adjusted as (a) t( assist in providing adequate industries, (c) to encourage the establish incut of,now industries; (d) to develop our natural (resources, .(e)-u- prevent the abuse'.of'the tariff'To.' IIih exiiloiuition of.-faie consumer: (f) to safeguard the interest of the Caua flian people in the existing work; struggle for commercial and industrial supremacy. '" .Tlie' platform supports the principle ; of trade prefer-, once within the empire. The Farmer 'platform denounces tlie present, protective tariff and makes what it calls "definite and tariff 'demands." These are Oil a substantial all-round reduction of the customs tariff; (b) induction of ihci, 'remaining tariff <<> ono-half on Uritish goods,-and su-h further reductions n's shall'' ensure complete tree trade, with Britain in five years; (c) unrestricted reciprocal trade'with the United States, in nauirul products;,-' (d) free admission of all foodstuffs, agricultural Instruments, . vehicles, fcrtiliers.

The revenue lost. by. the abolition of customs duties the farmer, party proposes : ;i replace by a ��������� tax on unimproved lands, taxes, on personal income, ���������inheritance taxes tind taxes on profit. The only thing that finally turns up for the 1'elloTvv'wiio always is wui;- ing tor.something to turn up, is his -toas. ^3 Shall it be that through the destruction of the Tariff as proposed by both Crerar and King, the development of Canada is to come under the domination of the United States, to be followed by gradual financial domination and as a consequence, political domination? .���������������-������������������������������������ Kf- Is Canada's destiny to be that of a great free nation within the British Empire group of Nations, developing her boundless resources of mine, river, water power, forest, and cultivating her millions upon millions of acres of arable land? Is her develop ment to surpass that of any other nation? Shall her manufacturing industries develop her minerals and raw materials into implements and goods for the benefit and comfort of her people and for foreign trade? Shall she become a self-contained nation within the Empire, her great railways interchanging, the products of factory and farm among- her own people, and her ships sailing every sea? Shall she maintain her integrity within the Empire and protect her farms and factories against unfair competition from foreign countries? IF THIS IS TO BE CANADA'S DESTINY THEN CANADA NEEDS MEIGHEN. On December 6th, Canada should once again protect her farms, her factories and her workmen against the unsound theory of Free Trade, and should hold fast to her reasonable Protective Tariff, her national entity and her British connection. On December 6th Canada should declare with no uncertain voice that she will not tolerate the false trade theories of visionaries and group leaders which tend toward her economic destruction, toward the separation of her people and the weakening of the ties that bind Canada to the Britid* Empire. On December 6th Canada should demonstrate unmistakably to the outside world her fixed determination to keep Canada for the Canadians. On December 6th Canada's destiny is at stake.

WOK j Members of both tildes of the Legislature are today congratulating, \V. K. Fsling, the member for RossUmd. on the success or his single-handi:d battle against, the Pacific Great Eastern construction contract. The Premier jumped at the ..suggestion emanating from the .delegation of prominent business men which have waited on him demanding an independent investigation o( the whole P. G: E. situation, and announced that he would ask President Beatty of therC. P. R. and D. 13. Manna of the Canadian National system to name a board of competent investigators. Mr. Esling has gone on record in the house" in a series of . specific charges and members today are ex-- presing the hope that the investigators will take all these factors into consideration. ' . j, , Mr. Esling has stated, and has] hacked up his charges with evidence obtained in answers Mo questions from Premier Oliver the following! facts: l Premier At Sea 1-���������-There is no contract in existence between the P. G. E. and Northern Construction Company for thu building of any portion of the lino, except the first 42 miles constructed under the Oliver administration. I 2.���������The contract for this 4 2 miles 1 was to have been completed by .(unitary l, 1919, and although three years have elapsed, the premier' has admitted that he does not yet know what that 42 miles cost. 3.���������No tenders were called for the. completion of the railway, but th* government engineer has simply told the construction company to continue ^work from time to time, without the ; government even having estimates to ! guide it. ' " -/ 4.���������Foley, Welch and Stewart had agreed with the late government to complete the -road to Prince George ifor $6,000,000, but Uie government .has spent over. $17,000,000 and f>ir .miles of the railway is yet to be built. ! . 5.���������The government has placed in the hands of its engineer, a- former official of the Northern Construction ' Company, quantities and classifications, a.matter involving $17,- 000,000 of public money. Favors Employers G.���������All correspondence indicates that this engineer favors his former employers and that he seems lo l>n governed hy the'feni; that they will not. he: protected!' The most striking instance of this is when the compnnv requested in .June. 1920, an increas:; of 3$ per cent, of unit prices, the engineer advised the premier 'thai he had undertaken on his own responsibility, unasked in writing, even by lhe company,' to make .this retroactive to tlie first of the. year, hecaiiS'i he was satisfied previous prices were too low. 7.���������-hi March, 1920, the premier stated that, on the order paper tint the 'road would cost, $4,000,000 io complete to Port George, a distance of 130 miles. Since then 70 miles have.been built at an .expenditure of $7,000,000. ' 8.���������The 1920 prices for bridge timber, as fixed by the engineer, were $84.50, later reduced to $G2 In 1921. The prevailing price at local millsin 1921 was $20 to' $25 ppr thousand. The contract involved the use of the five million feet. O.U'TUItING A NEW MARKET Canada's flour is the standard of the world. This is pretty generally admitted. The writer knows one citizen of the United, States who1, on c*'- ery visit, he makes to Canada, carries home, under strict instructions front his wife; a number o* loaves of bread she claiming that no bread obtainable . in (he United States approaches that made from Canadian-flour. It. is'in-. teresting to note that Dr. A. H.

However, a great many are under the impression1 that .they do not know how to mark a ballcii and so the following instructions may be useful to some Once a voter receives * a 'ballot from the deputy returning officer he he has a'right to use������it, whether he has been sworn or not, aud cannot be sworn once he has got the ballot. Once the ballot has been received it is important to remember that tie* following methods of marking ballots are good: (1).

However, while all these markings are good, and will not result in tha ballot being rejected, it is much safer jand- simpler to mark the ballot paper with an unmistakable cross, opposite the name of the candidate for ��������� whom the voter wishes to vote. j ��������� The procedure for the voter to [ follow' on reaching the polling station is simple. At the door' of tho 'station his or her name will be check- jed on the list by one of the ageut3 ���������posted there. Then on entering the | voter must give his or her address 'to the deputy returning officer or returning officer or poll clerk, who will run through the list and ��������� see that the voter is' entitled to a ballot. That formality complied with, and everything being in order, the voter will be handed a ballot paper 'and given instructions as to how it is to he marked, by the returning officer. Then he or she will be shown to a room or compartment where the ballot can be marked with secrecy. Ihcn, having marked the ballot as he or she desires, the voter will return to the outer room, hand the ballot properly folded to the deputy returning officer,'who will ^ar oil' the counterfoil and place the ballot in the ballot box. The voter, having thus exercised his or her franchise, is then required to leave the polling station. See .L , Downie's this issue.
