C, THUR8DAY MORNING, JTISE 12, 1919\n50c PER\nUP-DEBATE ON SIR THOMAS\n:'8F!\nFORMER MINISTER 0>F AGRICULTURE DECLARES THAT HE FOUND\nHIMSELF IN OPPOSITION WITH HIS COLLEAGUES ON THE\nTARIFF AND THAT TO RESIGN WAS THE ONLY HONORABLE\nCOURSE \u2014OFFERS COUNTER-PROPOSALS \u2014 CALDER SAYS HE\nWILL REMAIN WITH THE UNION GOVERNMENT UNTIL AFTER\nDEMOBILIZATION   HAS  BEEN 'COMPLETED\nOTTAWA,   June   ll.-^Members   of\n, the    commons    who    anticipated    a\n, livening   up   the   budget   debate   be-\n! cause  Hon.   T.  A.  Crerar ami  Hon.\nA.   Calder   wero   billed   to   speak\nw.ijrc not disappointed  today.\nMr. Crerar explained that ho had\ndropped out of tho government because he found himself in sharp opposition to his colleagues on the\nfinancial policy, and tho only honorable course to pursue wns to tender\nhis resignation.\nMr. Calder, on the other hand,\nmaintained that until demobilization\nis complete the tariff was not an\nissue.\nMr. Crerar objected to the budget\nbecause of its protectionist tendency, while Mr. Calder maintained\nthat ho would have been satisfied\nhad no tariff changes been announced\nibis- session. Ho agr.eod wilh Sir\nThorane \"White's proposals lo have\ntariff revision a little later on,\nwhorens Mr. Crerar was of the opinion that relief should bo given now\nas a menus of helping production\nand reducing the cost of living.\nTho ex-minister of agriculture suggested various means of raising the\nrevenue, including a tax on unimproved values of land, which he said\nwould pleld from 75 to 80 million\ndollars per annum.\nFears  Dangerous Situation\nMr.   Calder   emphasized   tho   point\n. that tho retirement of other Liberal-\nUnionists   from   the   cabinet   would\nprecipitate a  political crisis'and asserted that, despite tbe. pleadings, and\neven threats, of many of his friends\nhe    proposed    to    follow    his    own\ncounsel.   He intimated his belief that\nwhen   the   principles  underlying   the\nrevision of the tariff became a mat*\ntor of consideration by tbo cabinet,\nthe  timo may  havo arrived for  tho\nretirement of the oi.her ministers of\ntho government.   Closing, he express\ned   the  fear  that' a dangerous  situ\n\u00abtlon would bo  created if no effort\ni.s made to romove the cleavage bo\ntween east and west.\nH, B. Dovlin Wrlgfit, who con\ntinued tho debate in the afternoon,\nurged the government to get after\nthe profiteers, while W. F. Cock-\nishtitV Brantford, at the evening sitting, criticized tho .finance minister\nfor having made reductions in the\ntariff. The reduction in the duties\non agricultural implements had hit\nBrantford worse than any other city\nin Canada,  he  said.\nCrerar's Speech\n\"I   ask   this   question\/'   said   Mr.\nCrerar.    \"IC   our  manufacturers   can\nexport   $$7,900,000   worth   of  agricul\ntural implements in one year into tbe\nmarkets   of   ttie   world,   where   they\nhave to compete with overyono else,\nwiiy cannot they' compete at home?\nWhy   must   taxes   to   the   extent   of\n15,  25  and  30  per cent, on  agricul\ntural implements be necessary when\nour    implements    manufactured    in\nCanada  have   been  able  to  compete\nin the markets of the world?\"\nCream Separators\nMr.   Crerar   instanced   tlie   cream\nseparators.    These  had  been  placed\noil tbe freo list,    But did thc manu\nfacturers   languish?\nInstead of languishing, the manufacturers of cream separators had\ngone ahead. There were now eleven\nplants in Canada manufacturing\ncream separators. Three of them\nwere manufacturing cream sopur\nators exclusively and were selling\nCanadian separators In the- United\nStates in competition with the\nUnited Slates manufacturers.\nThe tariff bore heavily on the cost\nof living, Mr, Crerar argued. One of\nthe most effective means of striking\nat the high cost of living today was\nto do it through its custom tariff.\nWhy tiot do in Canada as was done\nin tho United States and make boots\nand shoes free  to the people?\nHe referred lo the instance in the\ncpst of living. Jn 1914, he said, the\ninvoice price of a suit of clothes\ncoming from Englund was $10. The\nduty on this amounted to $3. Adding profits of the various persons\nWho handled tho \"suit, it was ultimately sold for $112.50, In 1919, however, the invoice price of the same\nsuit was $25 nnd the duty had grown\nto $8.75. Tho result of this was that\nwhen nil profits were added the\nwearor of the suit had paid more\nthan $58  for  it.\n\" \u25a0 War Profits\nMr. Crerar went on lo call attention\nto thc immense profits made by war\nIn-pteeted industries. The profits of\nIhp Dominion Textile company lost\nyear was $3,434,752. Was it necessary\nto have a 30 per cent duty on textiles\n*in .order that organizations like tlio\nDominion Textile company should\nmake huge profits? The manager of\nthe Canada Cement company hnd recently stated that his company would\nplace Us product In tbe markets of all\nFORMER   GERMAN   LINER\nRAMMED IN MID-ATLANTIC\nNEW YORK, June 11. \u2014 The\nsteamship Grafwaldersee, a former\nGorman liner taken over by the\nUnited States shipping board, was\nrammed in latitude 40:16 north,\nlongitude 73:18 west, according to\na wireless messagee received here\ntonight. The message said the\nU. S. Patricia was standing by and\nthat it might be possible to save\nthe Grafwaldersee. It was said\nthat the steamship Redondo probably was the vessel which rammed\nthe Grafwaldersee.\nthe other countries in the world. If\nthis company was able to compete in\noutside markets, why was it necessary\nto havo a duty of 10 cents per hundred pounds on cement coming into\nCanada. Other companies making\nlargo profits under the protective tar-\nTf were the Monarch Knitting company, Canadian Fairbanks-Morse company and the Canadian General Electric company. He had not picked out\nthese companies because he thought\nthey were exceptional. If these companies could make such handsome\nprofits why cnuld thero not be a reduction In the tariff on ihe goods\nwhich they manufactured. If the tariff\nwas materially reduced, said Air.\nCrerar, thc question arose as to how\nrevenue was to Bis made up. Three\nmethods woro suggested in tho platform of the Canadian Council of Agrl-\ncullur The first was income, tax;\nthe second a graduated Inheritance\ntax, and the third a direct tax on the\nunimproved value nf land.\nIncome Taxes\nHe suggested that the income tax\nshould ho materially increased. Income taxes in Great Britain, Now Zealand, and also, ho thought, Australia,\nwore much higher than in Canada.\nAs far as the inheritance tax went he\nrtittte understood that the provinces\nwere collecting this tax. But provinces and municipalities in addition to\nthe federal government were Imposing\nIncome tuxes and he saw no reason\nwhy the Dominion should not Impose\nan inheritance lax.\nThe tax on unimproved value \"of\nland, he said, did not mean a land tax.\nThe idea underlying this propsul was\nthat values created by the. eommmun*\nity should he taken for thc community\nIt was estimated that a one' per cent\nlax of this kind would raise a revenue\nof 75 or 80 million.' Taxes should be\nlevied to bear, as lightly us possible on\nnecessities of lifo. He had no objection\nto thc taxing uf luxuries. Thc financial policy of ihe Dominion, said .Mr.\nCrerar, must, he thought, be modified,\nin the light of the tremendous events\nwhich wo had gom* through.\nIn closing he expressed the hope thnt\nthe people of Canada, like the soldier\nwho fought overseas, would realize\ntheir obligations, and so shape their\nefforts as to make. Canada the best\ncountry in the world.\nAfter Mr. Crerar had taken his seat,\nJ. A. Nasmith, East Peterborough,\nasked him if Ihe removal of tho duties\non cream separators and binder twine\nwould reduce their cost.\n\"Thero is no doubt of that at all,\"\nsaid Mr. Crerar. \"The question is elemental in Us simplicity so far as the\nanswer is concerned.\" (Laughter).\nCalder Replies\nHon. G. A. Calder, in rising to reply,\ncomplimented Sir Thomas White on\nhis budget statement. There had been\nno attempt at concealment. The finance minister had been anxious to tell\nthje truth and the whole truth, und tho\nhouse was indebted to him for the skill\nwith which he marshalled his facts.\nMr. Calder did not consider tho situation demanding a long speech.\nHo intended, he said, to support thc\nfinance minister's financial and tariff\nproposals, and it was not necessary io\nJustify this course with extensive arguments.\nTurning to the speech made by Mr.\nCrerar, Mr. Calder said thut his former colleague* had set forth his views\nclearly and honestly, and that he,\nleast of anyone, should quarrel with\nhim. Each minister must determine\nfor himself on this occasion what his\ncourse of action will be\nNo Other Course Open\n\"Taking into account all considerations,\" said Mr. Calder, \"I have come\nto the conclusion that there Is no uther\ncourse open to me but to support the\nbudget and I can do that. wilhou hacrl-\nficing any principles that I may hold,\nor my views on tlie tariff. I can do so\nwithout prejudice to the Interests of\nthe province from which I come or tn\ntho constituency I represent.\"\nMr. Calder then referred to the conferences ot 1017 leading to Ihe formation of the Union government. At the\nconferences, ho said, decisions had to\nhe reached Involving far reaching consequences. No one approached these\nproblems with greater soribusness than\ndid Mr. Crerar and his decision was\nlargely Instrumental in bringing about\nthe results  achieved.\nMr. Calder remarked that the government had made mistakes. A government that had not in such times as\nthose made mistakes would not bo\nworthy of being a government,\nPRESBYTERIANS\n\u25a0120,200 DEFINITELY ASCERTAINED\n\u201420,000   ENTRIES   TO   BE\nTOTALLED.

Thoy are due In most cases to\noverlapping of payments In England\nand Canada, which could not always\nhe averted.\nMr. S. W. Jacobs asked the witnoss\nf it was so that pensions had been\npaid to tho relatives of soldiers believed,to bo dead and they had turned\nup safe and sound.\nMr. Cox said he had heard of only\none ease of that kind. To Mr. Parent,\nthe witness stated that over $40,000}\nnver-paynicnt has so far boon recovered from the war service gratuity fund.\nUPLIFT MOVE\nASSEMBLY CONVINCED WORKERS\nHAV*   THE   RIGHT   TO\nORGANIZE.\nFINANCE CONVENOR\nTENDERS  RESIGNATION\nGovernment is Asked to Have Date of\nThanksgiving Day the Same as\nin United States.\nHAMILTON, June 11.\u2014The Presbyterian general assembly, in .session Here\nthis morning, affirmed its conviction\nof the rights o\u00a3 the workers to organize, and the. right of the members ot\neach craft to deal through chosen representatives with lhc management nf\nthe Industries in which they arc working.

Japanese\nbankers are now holding conference\nat Paris for the purpose of forming a\nnew syndicate to undertake loans for\nChina, and It is expected that the task\nwill become an accomplished face before long. Hitherto there has been\nkeen competition among tbe bankers\nof various countries for investments ln\nChina, with tbe result that not Infrequently unpleasant relations were\noccasioned among them. The fact is\nthat something like special spheres of\ninfluence have been net up by the different countries and they object, for\ninstance, that a railway, the concession\nof which may have been obtained by\nanother country, should be built within\nthe territory whieh they regard as\ntheir preserves.\n\"As Ibis state of affairs is disastrous\nnot only to China but also to tho pow-\nrs concerned, a proposal was brought\nforward by America about this time\nlast year for the establishment of a\nsyndicate by the capitalists of tbe four\npowers for investment in China so that\nunnecessary competition and friction\nmight   be   eliminated.\nBritish Bankers Balked\nIn doing this, however, the Inability\nof the British government to exercise\ncontrol over the British bankers proved to be an obstacle that threatened to\nwreck tlie proposed scheme, In the\npast the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank\nhas almost exclusively been undertaking Investmene In China und there\nhave also been something like thirty-\none Australian banks in the market\nompetlng for Chinese investments.\nLately, however, an urangirnent has\nbeen effected among the British bankers for th formation of a syndicate\namong themselves for the purpose of\nsuch investment. In this way the obstacle to the four-power syndicate has\nbeen removed, and as. all the governments concerned expressed their readiness to approve the American proposal the conference of the representatives\nof the bankers is now in session in\nParis for the arrangement of eces-\nsary particulars.\nFor  Government  Loans  Only\n\"As regards the scope of Investment to be undertaken by the proposed syndicate it is understood that\nall loans to he issued or guaranteed\nby tlie Chi* ese government will be undertaken by tlie syndicate, while private loans of an industrial and other\nnature, will be left to the free competition of tbe bankers of all countries\nas in the past. The new syndicate will\nnot interfere with the loans already in\nexistence, but ns to those loan contracts which have not yet b.'en currLd\ninto execution, they Will be succeeded\nto and undertaken by tho new syndicate.\n\"It Is not true, however, tbat the\nsyndicate is to be organized, as has\nbeen reported, with tlie ob.'ect of undertaking a new loan for $2Cu,000,COO,\nwhieh the Chinese government Is said\nto he anxious to raise, as it Is tho intention of tbe powers not to advance\nmoney lo China until peace shall have\nbeen completely restored in the country, i\\& the supplying of funds under\nextistlng conditions may have the effect of prolonging thc strife, instead of\nterminating it.\n\"With regard to the Kirin-Hainirg\nrailway loan, negotiations are now going on between the Industrial B nk\nof Japan and the Chinese govenmsnt\nfor the conclusion of a foim.il contract\/\nwhile as to the Manehuria-Mongolla\nand Shantung railway loans the conclusion of formal contracts will t'.'ke\nplace beforo long.\"      \u00bb\nSome Points at Issue\nIn. regard to the extent of the investments to be made in China by the newly organized Quadruple Syndicate,\nwhich is being\" now discussed at the\npreparatory meeting of the promoters\nof the syndicate at Paris, Mr. Hiji-\nkata, president of the Industrial Bank,\nis reported as having stated that America desires to furnish thc whole amount of the loans, inclusive of political\nand economic lonns. This covers rather too wide a field, nnd is liable to\nraise objection on the part of Japan,\nGreat Britain and France, while to restrict the American share to political\nloans alone would be not only contrary\nto the development of industries In\nChina but would reduce the sphere\nof investment so narrow as to he Inac-\nceptable to America.\nlt is likely that America may come\nto agree to furnish political loans together with railway and mining loans.\nIt also appears that America wishes to\nWhite Skirts\nIn Heavy Drill and\nPique\nThe Season's Smartest Designs\nand up  \t\n$2.75\nAlso splendid lines nf Tlnln and Fancy Middies\nund Kiddy Conts\u2014 \u00abA AA\nPrices    ..foCiUU AND UP\nThese  Ideal  Hot Weather Garments will  ensure\nyour comfort\n*.

It augurs\nwell for tho success of tho event.\nNelson citizens are delighted to\nhave so many of tho war veterans\nback In thc district, and will be glad\nof the opportunity of formally welcoming them on the First of July.\nThe program ls getting lined up\n1 and promises to be a most attractive one.\nTHE PROLETARIAN   AUTOCRACY\nAND IT8 CONSTITUTION.\nThero are a lot ot points- about-..the\nsovlet|bonstltutlon which are well understood. There are some which are\nIsbs well known. Their general effect\nis seen in Russia.\nA translation of the Russian official text shows that some of the\nclauses are as follows:\nArticle 1, section 2, clause 3a.\nFor the purpose of realizing tho\nsocialisation of all land, all private^ property in land is abolished\n* .* '\u2022\n'.'\"Article 1, section 2, clauso 3b.\nAll forests \u2022 * \u2022 all implements,\nwhether animate or Inanimate,\nmodel farms and agricultural enterprises, are declared to be national property.\nAlso, the constitution in the noxt\nsucceeding clauses to the above specifies complete transfer of ownership\nto the state of all factories, mills,\nmines, railways, water rights and\nbanks.\nConscription is stipulated in the following clauses of the Bolshevik constitution:\nArticle 1, section 2, clause  3g.\n\u2022 * \u2022 it i. decreed thut ull tollers\n**bo armed, and that u Socialist Red\narray be organized.\nArticle 2, clauso 19. \u2022 \u2022 \u2022 Tho\nRussian Socialist Federated Soviet republic recognizes the duty\nof all citizens of the republic to\ncomo to thc defence of their Socialist fatherland, und it, therefore, introduces universal military\ntraining.\nThe words \"all citizens\" in thc abovo\nare qualified by a succeeding paragraph that tho \"non-tollers\" ahall not\nget arm^hey^ftlW'-'civaVgod with\ntho 'performance of other military\nduties.\"     \u25a0\nSimilarly, the \"non-toilers'*''aro not\nto have votes.

Only thc proletarians, as\n- they call themselves, are permitted to\nvote,' it will be noted.\nsert that It has adopted a new method\nwith respect to treaties and other International engagements, an American\nwriter points out Imperial Germany\nwhen it fell to pieces was bankrupt\nin honor, but the German republic, Bo\ncalled, does not find fault with the\ndeparted Hohenzpllern crowd on that\nscore. The* nations now In alliance\ncannot accept Germany Into their\ncompany as a partner in the maintenance of the peace of the world until it proves itself trustworthy, and it\nshows no disposition- - whatever to\nprove its trustworthiness. Thc nations in alliance, whether Germany\nsigns tho treaty or not must maintain\na vigilant guard over Germany to\nguarantee the fulfillment of its. peace\nterms. Tho signing of the treaty is\nnot the end, for Germany herself has\ntaught us that her signature to a\ntreaty is not first-class collateral.\nBoost for the mining convention.\nInvite your friends to tho city for\nthe meetings and program of entertainment.\nIt ls reported in dispatches from\nParis that the allies propose to seize\nGormany's \"liquid assets.\" But that\ndoesn't mean what lt might seem to\nmean.\nThe second international mining\nconvention at Nelson will open in a\nfew days.

These will alt\nbe aired at the big convention.\nThe manner in which the new income tax will figure out as far as\nmarried men are concerned is shown\nin the table below.

If he has, then I wonder at\nhim objecting at the poor deluded\nworkers taking somo step to get out of\nthe conditions that men of Mr. Black's\ncalibre evidently wish them to bo\npnd^r for AH time.\n1 \u00a3a mc Avare that today there are in\nTrail, people who cannot get sufficient to ea*t; ls ho aware that there aro\nmen with wives and five and six children only getting $3.50 per day? In\nmy short stay in Trail I have found\nconditions that lam sure do not exist\nin any other purt ot Canada, it Mr.\nBlack is aware of these things, then\nI say he is not carrying out thc work\nof the Gospel if lio himself does not\nget out and preacli some goBpel thut\nwill eliminate this poverty in a land of\nplenty, and not leavo it to so-called\nBolsheviks to preacli what he wishes\nto term Sedition.\nWhy does ho attack Mr. Naylor, a\nman who was tried for his associations\nwith Mr. Goodwin, and found Innocent?\nI always tnought that in this so-called\nfree country of ours that after a man\nhad been tried and proven innocent\nthat he had no stain on his character;\nbut evidently that Is not the doctrine\nthat this Trail minister preaches.\nWhen did Mr. Black here any ono\nsay that tho O.B.U. wore demanding\nsne dollars a day for six hours' work?\nSurely not in Trail.\nIs tho workers' friend, Mr. Black,\naware that a man In Trail wus fired\nand refused employment at thc Trail\nsmelter for walking on the street with\none of the leaders of the O.B.U., and\nanother because ho had said in a hotel\nthat he believed that the O.B.U. was\nall right? Are these the conditions\nthat should exist in a free country?\nLet me ask Mr. Black why he doesn't\nget the soviet constitution and read\nthat; then he would get the truth of\ntho Russian situation, and as a man\nthat should be in a position to lead the\npeople, he could tell tho true story.\nVory funny, isn't it, that now tho\nWinnipeg strike is before the country, that it is Bolcehevlk money now\nand not German money. I wonder if\nMr. Black can inform me how it Is being shipped Into Winnipeg and who. is\nbringing it.\nWhy is it that the triple alliance in\nEngland are telling the British government that they will stop work if thoy\n(the British government) do nut with-\nROADS THAT ARE STREWN WITH FLOWERS\n<?>-\nTEN YEARS AGO TODAY.\nTHere are many who believe that\nall big corporations and industrial\nconcerns only look to the material\nside of things and work machine-\nlike for the production of wealth, regardless of the winter's snow and unheeding of the summer's bloom.

There are hundreds ot\n43.P.R. officials connected with theso\nsocieties, and most of them received\ntheir first lesson in flower cotton\nat the C.P.R. flower beds.

On the bait\nbeing replaced, the fish did exactly\nthe same thing, and so carefully\n\u25a0avoided \"capture.\" Experiments with\n[dther fish always had the.same result.\n| The following humorous anecdote\namply proves that fish\u2014or, at any\nrate, trout\u2014havo memories:\nAn expert pisciculturist kept', a,\nlarge trout captive in a pool.'

It\nwould remain hidden as long as the\ntrout rod was  in evidence.\nThe explanation ot this trout's ifwir\n'of the rod is that early In its life\nthe expert east a new harbless hook I\ninto tlie pool with a trout rod tnj\norder to test it. Thn trout seized;\nthe hook, which penetrated Its upper jaw.

He used a rangy\nleft jab with telling effect on Monahan and set such a furious pace\nfor Hempil that the latter was In a\ndizzy condition after tho final round.\nWillard wound up tho day's exercise\nby wrestling with Soldier Stanton,\nand the champion left the ring with\na bleeding hack as the result of\nStanton's rough work in pulling and\ntugging Willard around  tho ring.\nThe sun-burned Dempsey, still\nchafing under thc restraint placed on\nhim, went through a lively workout,\nhut was not permitted to put on the\ngloves. He covered about seven\nmiles on the road, .tugged at the\nweights, punched the ' bag and\nshadow boxed. Although the wound\nover his ey is healing rapidly, Man\nager Kearns decided not to take\nany risk of having the cut reopened. So it is probable that the\nchallenger will not do any boxing\nuntil Friday or possibly Saturday.\nYou Can Avoid\nOperations\n?or Appendicitis and Gall Stones\nhrough the use of Hopatola, a\n1 nedicine recognized as far bet-\nI .er, safer than operations.  $5.50\nxeatment.\nSol* Manufacturer\nMR8.

The\nfollowing was contributed by a bank\nmanager in British Columbia to the\nFinancial Post, who speaks from experience of nineteen years, incidentally he gives strong endorsatlon\nfor the views of Vere Brown in\nsupport of the Canadian branch system ns compared with the unll\nbanks of tlio United States:\nI read wllh interest a letter appearing in your issue of Aprli 111,\n191!., from \"A Western Retailer;\" in\nwhich he states that the banks hi\nthe vicinity of Grande Prairie, Alta..\ncharge 12 por cent, interest on loans.\nI can only say that, during my\nnineteen years' experience working\nfor a Canadian chartered hunk, T\nhave never seen it done. I would\npoint out, however, for his Information that it Is done by local banks\nin the United States, and I quote\nin this regard from an aricle by\nMr. Vere Brown, superintendent of\ncentral western branches of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, entitled:\n\"Tho Western Farmer and the Bank,\"\nappearing in the journal of the\nCanadian Bankers' association, dated\nApril, WW. which. \"A Western Retailer\"  may  find  edifying:\n2,749 National banks in forty-two\nstates, covering A8 per cent, of the\ntotal area of the continental United\nStates, exclusive of Alaska, admit\nunder oath that they are charging\n10 per cent, or more on some of\nthoir loans; and 1,022 National banks\nin twenty-five states, which include\n74 per cent, of the total area of the\ncontinental United States, exclusive\nof Alaska, also confess that they\nhave been charging on an average\nanywhere from 10 per cent, to IS\nper cent, or more on all of thels\nloans.\n\"This relates to National banks\nonly. The sliowing of state banks,\nwhich Institutions Mr. Leedy specially endorses, would undoubtedly bo\nworse.\nAs to Kansas itself, either Mr.\nLoedy's banking experience there was\nexceptionally fortunate, or the view\nhe now-takes Is an Illustration of the\ntruth of the adage, \"distant fields\nlook green\"\u2014for the comptroller reported that all National banks in\nKansas admitted that on some loans\nthey wero charging 12 por cen. or\nmore!\"\nMr. Vere Brown gives as his\nauthority the_ report of the United\nStates comptroller of currency for\nlfllfi, and his article Is based on the\naddress which he gave beforo the\nexecutive of the United Farmers of\nAlberta in January last. Mr. Vere\nBrown goes on to say further in the\narticle, which may Interest \"A Western   Retailer,\"  the  following:\n\"In later years tbe American system has come to be about as stabilized as It is likely ever to be nnd\nyet if the record of losses to depositors In the different states even\nin the last period of twenty years\nwere looked ino it would be found\nthnt In many of the states the losses\nto depositors of failed banks had\nrun into figures that our western\npeople would not be willing knowingly to face. Taking the state of\nnorth Dakota at random, because it\nwas the state nearest at hand, I\nrecently gathered the figures of bank\nfailures In that stato since 1893\u2014that\nbeing as far back as tho record appeared to be obtainable\u2014and I found\nthat there had been bank failures In\nconnection with seven of which depositors suffered Insses aggregating\n$301,000 odd. What would the people\nof Alberta say of our banking system\nIf it had involved losses of this\namount to depositors of that province in the last twenty-five years?\n\/'The recent convention of the United Farmers of Alberta\u2014at which I\nemphasized tho consideration Which\nwas due to bank depositors nnd\nquoted the foregoing figures of depositors* recent losses from local\nbanks in the comparatively old-\nsettled state of north Dakota\u2014had\nscarcely closed when a dispatch\ncame from Minnesota announcing\nthat a chain of fourteen state banks\nthere had blown up. Theso banks\nhad a capital of $10,000 to $20,000\neach, the aggregate capitalization being only $170,000, with deposits, however, aggregating the large sum of\n$1,440,000. Adventurers had succeed\ned in getting control of tho majority\nof the capital stock of each of those\nbanks (the comparatively small\namount involved rendering that an\neasy matter) and had lent some\n$910,000 of the bank's deposits to tt\nnumber of outside doubtful enterprises of their own. If the depositors do not suffer heavy losses they\nwilt be very lucky indeed. In this\nconnection it is Interesting to note\nthat the Individuals in control of\nthese Minnesota banks had planned\nto enter Manitoba, where thoy had\nobtained a charter for the North\nAmerica finance commission.\nI quote Mr. Brown at length because it is evident that \"A Western\nRetailer\" leans to Mr. Leedy and his\nviews. If the banks do charge a\nhigher rate of interest in the vicinity\nof Grande Prairie, due probably to\nthe fact that it is on the outskirts\nof Canada, It Is only reasonable to\nsuppose that \"A Western Retailer\ndocs the same with the goods he\nsells. His concluding remarks that\n\"the people of eastern Canada, manu\nfacturers, bankers and the rest have\ngot to get down to brass tacks and\nmeet the west fairly and squarely on\nall big questions,\" are not, I feel\nsure, the vi^s of the great majority\nin the west.\u2014H.

It was very difficult\nto kill, and multiplied very rapidly.\\\nsetting up a poison that usually tiided\nfatally. It was caused by contamination, and might be found in sausages\nor vegetable or animal soups, the ingredients of which had not been too\ncarefully selected; Wherever there\nwas contamination or putrefaction the\nKerm might exist.\nThe,germ itself was quite harmless\nin the human body. Its danger lay entirely in tlie poison set up in foods,\nand it was this poison that caused tlie\nfatalities in Dawson City. Had the\nfood been boiled for five minutes he-\nfore being set on the tahlo.the germs\nwould have been killed. The poisoned\nfood, however, would not be safe to\neat.
