No blame, however, for such an unfortu- nate condition of affairs ean be thrown upon the shoulders of the present Council. Civic business should be conducted on principles exactly similar to those adopted by any other large corporation. It is a cer- tainty that no suecessful man- ager of a large industria! cor- poration would dream of con- ducting its affairs in a hand to mouth fashion such as was done by the Council of 1912. Such methods would inevitably lead to financial ruin. Mayor Pattullo is apparently going to adopt a sane course. He has assured the public that, first of all, he is making it his busi- ness to thoroughly straighten out the present financial tangle and ascertain just exactly where the city is at. After thie has been done provision will be made for necessary funds to proceed with work and definite plans will be made and followed, plans not merely for the present but covering the future as well. It is such businesslike methods that the that the citizens want to see displayed by its executive of- ficers and apparently the right men have been elected to carry out a sane policy. cf FARMERS’ BANK SPECTRE. i Premier Borden has now to face another schism in his ranks, and this time from a totally unexpected quarter. When Hon. W. T. White intro- duced his bank act it looked like an innocent piece of legis- lation which would be treated in calm financial terms by both sides of the House. The Liberal members showed their anxiety to work with the Min- ister of Finanee so as to im- prove the bank act as far as possible. Then in stalked the spectre of the Farmers’ Bank, which has so haunted many follow- ers of Premier Borden since September, 1911, and trouble came with it. During the cam- paign of 1911 a dozen or more Ontario Tory candidates, head- ed by Hon. T. W. Crothers— now minister of labor—de- clared that if they were elected and the ‘Tories returned to of them. But when Parliament met they could not deliver the goods. Mr. Borden could swallow a good deal, but he did not dare swallow such a dose as was proposed. After much patient pursuit he for- mally repudiated his colleague, Hon. Mr. Crethers, and said that the minister had spoken only for himself. Naturally this was cold cheer for the group of generous promisers who found that they had won their seats by false pretenses. They had promised reimbursement, and their elec- tors demanded it, with threats that if they broke their prom- ises their path would not be easy when they wanted votes again. They revolted, led by Major Sam Sharpe of North Ontario, who severely criticized the bill of his financial leader, declar- ing that it did not go nearly far enough to satisfy the people, especially the Farmers’ lsank victims. Major Sharpe, to the applause of his own eolerie on the government side, demanded that Mr. White amend his bill so as to include government inspection of banks and a consideration of the bank act by a royal commis- sion of experts instead Parliamentary eommittee. An even sharper criticism of the bill was made by Mr. W. F. Maclean, the Conservative member for South York, who vigorously traced the fine Ital- ian hand of “the interests” throughout it aii, - showing that where the defects of the old bank act were that it only favored the trusts and merg- ers, the same defects were be- ing perpetuated by Hon. Mr. White. It is certain that the rest of the group who owe their elec- tions to the Farmers’ Bank failure are backing Mr. Sharpe in his revolt, and it has been of a stated that lively times have oceurred im the cabinet itself, sinee Mr. Crothers has small appetite for crow. The Minis- ter of Labor is not anxious te go back to St. Thomas and tell his electors that he fooled them, and has been publicly rebuked and repudiated by his leader. When next elections come on the people of Ontario will probably know more about the difference between Tory prom- $2.00 per year.

The first four inspectors wil! be appointed in Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver, and if the plan proves as successful as it is be- lieved female representatives of the department wil! be appointed in all other cities. close Forty years in use, twenty years standard, prescribed and recommended by physicians.
