Handioaps\u2014Patience Necessary\u2014Sets \u201c Out Plan Of Reorganization \u201cIf Politios Permit And Parliament And Press Allow Necessary Freedom\u201d Otawa.Aug.33\u2014 The Prime Minister has received a letter from Bir Joseph Flavelle in which he makes some important observations on the subject of the Canadian National Rallwaya as to their proper organisation and management.It will be remembered that Sir Joseph Flavelle, at the request of the Government, accepted appointment as Director of the Grand Trunk Rallway Bystem when possession of this System was handed over to the Government in May last.Since then he has given close attention to the entire rallway problem snd his letter is consequently of unusual interest.The letter follows: \u2014 17¢ Yonge Street,\u201d Toronto, Canada, August 123th, 1931.My Mr.Meighen: You may not consider it inappropriate If I report.in writing, upon the railway situation.There would be no acute railway problem in Canada today if, in 1303, Parliament had refused the proposal to build the National Transcontinental Line from Winnipeg to Moncton: if it had refused to grant a charter to the Grand Trunk Paelfie to construct a rallway from Winnipez to the Pacific Coast: and had refused the builders of the Canadian Northern further financial assistance, except as the Western Division of the Grand Trunk System, carried through to the Pacific Coast.If the Grand Trunk and Canadian Northern Companies had been told they must come together and constitute a .spoond transcontinental line, the country would not have been called upon to face the present gravely serious situation, while a powerful corporation, with a serviceable railway frdm ocean to ocean, owned and operated by private capital weuld, with the Intercolontal and Canadien Pacific Rallways, have siven the needed transportation facilities for the present.and reasonable future requirements of Canada.Parliament decided otherwise.It directed the construction.with public funds, of the National Transcontinental Line from Winnipeg to Moncton.Concurrently, it granted the Grand Trunk Pacific a charter, with financial guarantees for both the Prairie and Mountain sections, to build a line from Winnipeg to the Pacific Coast, as well an a charter for Grand Trunk Pacific branch lines, and the Superior Division from Superior Junction to Fort William.It further lent financial assistance for the completion of the Canadian Northern System to the Pacific Ocean, and facilitated the extension of the Canadian Northern System east from Port Arthur through Ontario and Quebec and the Maritime Provinces.Thus, three transcontinental lines have been conetructed when two were all that the business of Canada required, or could sup- nort.Added to the three transcon- tin 1 lines is the Nattonal Tranecontinental from Winnipeg to Moneton, and the Hudson Bay Railway projected from Winnipeg to Port Nelson.Crippling loases through Operation ané Fixed Charges followed in these over-raliroaded territories.The Canadian Northern, the Grand Trunk Pacific, and the Grand Tyunk Railway as the guarantor of the Grand Trank Pacific enterprises.sought and received repeated advances from Parliament te meet the serious deficits with which they were confront.od Ultimately, Parliament rofused to make fudther advances to theme private corparations, and determined to take over.by purchame or the -guarantes o! securities, the several properties ahove indicated, Including the Grand Trunk System.The effect has heen to make the country responaible for the operation of twenty-two thousand odd miles of raliway, and responsible for the interest upon the securities in- ied by there railways an@ now held hy the public.Thess Interest char- ses, with taxes, and rental of leased roads, as of the year ending December 31st, 1520, amounted to 856, $98.951,00 per annum, exclusive of the interest upon the loans of $383, 000,000.00 * made by Parliament to these carporations, and exclusive of od in the National Transeontinental and Intercolonia] Railways.Mereover, as broadly epsaking, the 1,800 miles of National Transcontinental ros), and 1,800 miles of Grand Trunk Pacific, and probably about 1,000 miles of the Canadian Northern road east of Port Arthur, are not actually needed for the bu- diness of the country, they will fait for years to earn Operating Charges, will require the eountry te pay their Fixed Charges, and will perform * These include $38,000,000.00 Grand Trunk Pacific Bonde hed dy the Treasury.\u2019 service of little material value for en extended period.Henoe, the neceæary portiens of the National System, (The Grand Trunk in the East and the Canadian Northern Lines through the West) will, until there is & material increase in population, and corresponding Inoreass in tonnage.have associated with them & great mileage of immediately unnecessary lines which will register Operating losses for many years.In addition, the Intercolonial System, including branch lines and Prince Edward Island Railway, ag- sregating 3,368 miles of road, has not generally sarned its Operating Charges and, under the conditions prevailing in the Maritime Provinces, may similarly fail to earn Operating Charges for an indefinite per- fod of years.- Further, to enable the National System to command its share of the country's business on even terms with the Canadian Pacific Rallway, sometime during succeeding years, large capital sums will be expended for general betterment of tracks, fer the consolidation of the separate lines constituting the National System, as well as expenditures for terminale in Montreal, and for the completion of Terminale in Toronto.These capital expenditures will aggregate $135,000,000.00 to $175,000,- 000.00, and when they are completed | will constitute a new Fixed Charge of $10,000,000.00 per annum in ex- coms of the present Fized Charges, and equivalent to two-third of the entire Fixed Chargns upon the Canadian Pacific Railway, which stand at 815,910,516.00 per year, including rental for leased roads and taxes.The reports of the railways to the Department of Railways and Canale, indicate that exclusive of outside operations (such ne street Railway, landes, coal mines, ete), the Operating Deficit for the year 1910 of the lines in the National System were 832,565,195.00, (including the Grand Trunk System which had a surplus of $4.507.116.00), contrasted with net Operating Revenue for the Canadian Pacific Rallway of $385,383, 506.00.Adding to the Operating Deficit of the National System Lines, the Fixed Charges of $36,098,981.00 (but excluding interest upon Government Joanne of $383,000,000.00) the Defick is Increased to $89,564,176.00.The estimated Operating Losses for 1931, recently submitted to Parlament, for the National System, including the Grand Trunk, were pla- cod at $0,377,000.00 which, plus Fixed Charges of $36,998,981.00, make an aggregate loas to be m the country of $46,876,281.00, exclusive of the intersst due the Government for advances upon loans of $363,000,000.00, and exclusive of interest upon the investment upon the National Transcontinental and International Raflways.The loss In Operation for the first six months of 1921, which has now been establiah- ed, Indicates the Operating Loss for the year will exceed the estimate.It should be remembered that ownership by the public established no exemption from conditions inseparable from successful business administration.No great business can survive if it le the constant jar- get of unfavourable comment, and if the management is subject to sue- tained critical and unfriendly examination, Wil Parliament, the Press and the Public generally, afford to the administration of the National Railways support which will permit ad- ministratiy capacity of high order, or wlll the inevitable heavy losses for years cause unrest and distrust, or will the errors of judgment associated with all human action be magnified to the humiliation of the management, and will the political disappointment of members of the House of Commons, who cannot have thelr way in the administration of the property in their respective constituencies or districts, create such bitterness in Parliam and the Press that men of sound capacity and fine spirit will refuse to serve?> Parllament will not contract ît- ssif out of responsibility to orRical- ly examine the estimates for railway adriinistration submitted annually to the Mouse.It has yet to be demonstrated, however, thet it will bring to the consideration of the estimates and review of the work of the management, a temper and sense ot fairness which le associated with the successful administration of pri- Yate enterprises.It thews are denied, the administration of this publiely owned property will break down.\u2014 \u2018The Canadian Paciñe Rallway Company deserves well of the country.Under the nod of twe great men now ay od by a third, It: brought faith, courage add (avin.cifé energy, With traino\u2026 engacity, Cee er ee to the great task of bullding their line through the untravelled West, and subsequently completing and operating & transcontinental railway In Canada, with steamship services on the Great Lakes and on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.Its achievement commands the admiration of both railway experts and the public, and has been a material factor In\u2019 causing Canada to be favourably known upon three continents.The Company has brought profit to ita shareholders, yet has become à National asset of great value and importance.This asset should be preserved.Ite preservation will primarily rest upon just treatment of the private corporations by successive governments.It will be further.od by the low fixed charges upon the property, and by the Company's \u2018highly efficient operating organization.As matters now stand, practically all the steam railways in Canada, other than the Canadian Pacific, are in the Canadian: National System.Hence, there is the gnomaly of 40 percent of the raliways being owned and operated by private capital, and 40 percent directly owned and operated on behalf of the people of Canada.\u2018This distinction in ownership wes not planned.It was occasioned through the breakdown of a scheme of railway construction and operation authorized by Parliament and carried out under private ownership.Troubles developed beyond the control of the private corporations, and Parliament confronted with the necessity of choosing be- twesn undesirable alternatives considered it advisable that the Government should take over the properties which were in default.Hence the Canadian Pacific Raliway Company and the country are confronted with the fact.not the theory, of m@blic ownership of rallways upon a great scale, and these publicly owned properties must be operated It good sense prevails, the executive on behalf of the people of Cimadaofficers of the two systems will plan together to meet the transportation requirements of the country.It good sense does not prevall, both the private corporation and the public (as owner) will suffer loss through unnecessary multiplication of cervices, and through the absence of sanity in mutual relations which already contain sufficient of the unnatural to breed trouble.1 assume that operations of the Government requiring railway trane- port, such as mails and the movement of troopa, will be equitably divided between the two systema, but plainly the privately controlled business will be subjected to competitive conditions.It ie but & mere platitude co state that the gross earnings of both properties are dependent upon the support given by those who require & railway to transport their commodities, or those who require a railway for personal travel.Obviously, there can be no relief from losses In oper.by | ation of the National Railway, and consequent increased demand upon the Dominion Tressury, except by earnings secured by the movement of freight and passengers.and revenues from express and other services.Therefore, an organized Traffic Department will make claim upon the people of Canada to use their own railway.A man owning @& motor car, driven by his chauffeur to the place he himself desires to go, will not lightly hire someone elve\u2019s car to take him to that place while his own car is only partially occupied.A man owning a motor truck, in charge of his driver for the transmission of commodities to the place to which he desires to send his goods, will not lightly hire someone eles\u2019s motor truck to take his goods to that place while his own motor truck Je without sufficient load.There will be much advantage to all concerned If thess Inherent conditions are accepted as Insvitable.The wisdom for such acceptance rests no less with the administrators of the great private corporation than with the administrators of the publicly owned proneitien, and with Parliament to whom they are responsible, The raliwaye in Canada have been developed in advance of the requirements of the country.The remedy cannot by found In now materially reducing the miles of railway operated, although economies in this respect will be made If sound practice prevalle.Apart from better operating conditions !ncldent to consolidation of the National lines in one system, the chief remedy will be found only in increassd population, and cense- quent increased tonnage of commodities for movement by the railways, and Increased passenger, express and other revenues.Canada must secure this increase through settlers who will occupy the unocoupisd land in the West.The carrying out of this work should be entrusted to the best available talent for the purpose, and should command the foremost consideration of the Government.There should be no stint tn *he resources placed at the command of those in charge of the work.Colonel Dennis.Chief Commissioner of Colonisatien Department of Canadian Pacific Railway, sn giving his testimony at the Grand Trunk Arbitration, said \u2014 \u201cSome years ago Mr.James J.Hill made the statement that a farnier adja- sent to the Great Northern was worth $1,680.06 per annum to them.That figure was used for a long time, and ft would look as it Mr.Hill was a fairly good guesser because, when we get dows to the actual facts, we got the figure of $743.00\" In addition to the efferts of the Immigration and Colonisetion Department of the Government, the National Railway Company and the Canadian Pacific Compañy should enlarge their Departménts for the colonisation of the lands contingous to their myetem?The ofticers of these Department, and the officers of the Government, should co-oper- ate in well-considered plans which would compel resuite.Freight Tonnage The method of accounting in the various rallway companies entering into the National System, records in each separate unit - the tonnage which passes from one unit in the system to another with the result that it de diffieuk, without labour involving much expense, to secure a statement as to the net number of tons hauled by the united railway system.For purposes of comparison, however, the Grand Trunk System affords an opportunity to estimate the effect of short haul traffie, which ia noticeable in that System, as compared to long haul traffic character istic of the Canadian Pacific Rallway.The Grand Trunk Rallway Bystem, operating 4.775 miles of road, during the year 1930 moved 33,026,658 actual net tone, and were pald for the service $80, The Canadian Pacific, operating 13.- 402 miles, moved 29,919,645 tons, for which they were pald $143,878,- 185.00.You will observe that the Grand Trunk, moving 3,100,000 tons more freight than the Canadian Pacific, received in payment $63,191,- 562.00 less for their services than that company.The greatest single factor In this remarkable difference is, that while the Canadian Pacific carried each ton an average of 443 miles.the Grand Trunk carried each ton an average of 212 miles.Or, stated In another way, the Canadian ! Pacific recelved $4.81 for each ton.while the Grand Trunk received 33.44 for each ton.The costs at terminals, to collect and distribute, including switching, are as much per ton whether the freight is short hauled or long hauled.Consequently.there is an added burden, affecting net returns, by reason of the heavier terminal charges relatively in the short haul business.In & less pronounced manner, the exhibits of the other divisions of the Canadian National System make the sams showing in contrast with the Canadian Pacific.The Canadian Nerthern Division, operating 8,968 miles of read, moved 14,804,411 tone, for which they received $48,074,193.00.Their unfavourable showing in relation to the Canadian Pacific, as far as miles per ton carried is concerned, is that their average miles for each ton was 326 miles, for which they received, $3.31 per ton.Passengers An analysis of the passenger service for the Canadian National System and Grand Trunk, in contrast with the Canadian Pacific reveals the same conditions.The miles the Canadian Pacific moved each pas- cenger, greatly exceeds two miles which the Grand Trunk moved each passenger and, though relatively less, the miles sach passenger was moved by the Canadian National System.On the side of Gross Earnings, these figures plainly indicate that the National System should diligently cultivate the long haul business, both in passengers and freight.It also crosses the continent, and ghould secure ite share of transcontinental tonnage and passengers.If any mileage of the tracks is not equal in standard to the Canadian Pacific, the necessary expenditures should be made to correct the defi- clencies.If the information were available, K would probably be found that the Canadian Pacific has mout valuable earnings from its long haul in transcontinental tonnage, originating in the Orient and European Ports.The overseas movement of this tonnage is controlled by the Company's ocean steamships, and the land transportation across the continent is controlled by the Company'e railroad.Jt is apparent that the management of the National System should secure a large share of this business.There has been an important in- portant increase in Gross earnings in the various railways during recent years.A consideration of the records of the (rand Trunk System will be useful in determining how much of the increase je due to increased traffio, and how much to higher rates.For this purpose, 1 compare 1911 with 1920.The Gross earnings of the Grand Trunk System for the year 1911 were 0 and for the year 6.00, an increase of In each year the 188.45 percent.same mileage was operated.The freight.revenue portien of this increase was $51,327,994.00 or 174.30 percent.The fncrease In frefght revenue dus increased traffic was $18,912,918.00 or 64.42 percent, and the increase due to in.areased rates was $32,415,079.00 or 110.41 per cent.Comparing Passenger revenue for 1930 with that of 1911, there Was an increase of $8,251,684.00, being 63,- 17 percent al lof which was due to increased retes; There was an ae.tual reduction in traffic of, $88, 677.00, Mail revenue Increased $342 or 54.76 percent of Which Jwas from increased traffic and § percent frem increased rates.Express revenue increased $1.768,843.08 or 117 percent, of which 73.88 percent was due to traffic and 44.50 percent due to increased rates.Operating Charges The Operating Charges of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the Canadien National as at present administered, and the Grand Trunk Sy=- tem are unfavourable to the National and Grand Trunk Companies.In 1918, 1919 and 1330, the Operating ratio (ie, the groes exependi- ture for operating compared with gross revenue) of the various units vas:\u2014 1918 1919 1930 C.Northern

Intercolonial and National Transcontinental combined in 1930.Apart from any other causes the extensive mileage of the National and Grand Trunk Systems combined, with shorter haul and consequent lower earnings per ton, constitute a greater overhsad and less favourable net return.A consolidation of the Grand Trunk System and the Canadian National as now administered, into the Canadian National Railway Company, with one organization, will introduce economies which will (pe reflected in reduced Operating Charges.It will be wise however, to guard against optimistic belief that such economies will be reflected immediately following reorganisation.It will take time to establish smooth working conditions in the readjustment body, and pot much, if any, relief will be secured until the new organization is shaken down and establishes well balanced qualities.I attach memo \u201cA\u201d giving summary of mileage, investment, capl- talization, gross and net earnings, fixed charges, operating ratios and revenue statistics of railways entering into the National Byetem.as well as the Canadian Pacific Railway.From this statement you will observe the total investment in the railways in the National System, including the Grand Trunk Railway, is $1,652,107,966.00 for 19.433 miles of road owned, being an average cost of $85,000.00 per mile in contrast to a cost of $83,117.00 per mile for the Canadian Pacific.Both systems have considerable double track mileage.When the railways in the United Gtates passed through their successive period of depression which discovered the errors of their promo.tou, relief from interest charges upon outstanding securities was secured through the roads passing under the control of receivers.In the reorganisation following the re.caivership, the outstanding securities were cancelled in whole or in part, or the old mortgage securities were exchanged for income bonds or for à reduced amount of other mortgage securities, or for issues bearing a lower rate of interest than applied to the defaulted issue.Thus, the Fixed Charges upon capitalization of over-rallroaded communities were kept within compaas, In the development of the Canadtan Railway Systems, in which the Government was prastically a partner through guarantees or through heavy advances to the several corporations, relief through receivership was not considered advisable or possible.In consequence.1.The Securities lasue for the construction of these railways, unre- duced by reorganisation, are held by the public, and the National Rallway Siystem must meet the Interest as it matures.The interest amounts to $33,639,741.00 per annum, 3.There will be an increases of interest bearing securities through an issue to provide monies to meet the rallway appropriations author ised by Parliament at its last Session.Interest upon these securities will approximate $7,000,000.00 per annum.8.Inasmuch as it will be necessary to make improvements chargeable to capital, Involving an expenditure of $128,000, 3175,000,000.00 upon the National Bystem during the next five to seven years, there will develop an interest charge upon the securities issued to meet these expenditures, when completed of $10,000,000.00 per annum.4.The Dominion Treasury has loans outstanding against the railways In the National and Grand Trunk Systems aggregating: X\u2014 3363,000,000.00.Interest upon these joans is now being debited by the Treasury to the National and Grand Trunk Systems, and constitutes part of thelr annual deficits.If this interest charge is continued at § per cent per annum, & sum exceeding $14,000,000 per year will be required to meet i.Summing up theses four items of charges, and adding taxes upon rall- way properfies and rental upon leased lines, which in railway accounting are considered as Fixed Charges, you have the following: \u2014 %~\u2014$33,000,000.00 of this le in Grand Trunk Pacific Bonds held by the Treasury: Annual interest charges upon securities In the hands of the public .$92,680,471.00 Annual interest upon tenue to meet railway appropriations, authorized by Parti ment at its last sion Interest upon capital improvements to be made during the next 5 to 7 years .10,000,000.00 Interest upon Government loans of $383, 000 .\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.16,000, and rental fer leased lines 4,489, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 7,000,000.00 C3 oe \u2018 .} .Total .000,088,981.00 Te this total must be added the interest upon the Award, if any af the arbitretion upon the Grand Trunk common and preferred stock as covered by the agreement with the Grand Trunk shareholders.As an offset to these charges there are annual earnings aggregating about 4,000,000.00 (rom investments in securities of other companies and for use of system equipment by other companies, also rentals, etc.\u2018This indicates that the National System of Railways would be asked to ultimately operate with net Fixed Charges aggregating $66,000,000.00 per year In contrast with $15,810, 816.00 per year for the Canadian Pacific Railway.As, however, the Canadian Pacific pays prefe: end common stock dividends of $21,427, 276.00 from Hs railway earnings, and as the National Redlways System will not pay dividends upon éte share capital, it may give a truer comparison of the payments to be made out of railway earnings of the two Systems if the $15,910,516.00 of Fixed Charges of the Canadian Pacific plus $81,- 411,276.00 paid in dividends or $87- 137,793 are compared with the fix.od charges of $64,000,000 to be paid by the National System.Dividends upon share capital are not, however, obligatory obligations and can be discontinued by the Canadian Pacific without penalty to the control of their property by the Corporation, but failure by the National System to pay Fixed Charges and refusal of the Treasury to meet them would mean the appointment of a receiver and the consequent passing of the control of the property.(The Canadian Pacific pays addition el dividends of $7,800,000.00 derived from earning received from activities other than the railway in Canade) Manifestly, the Canadian National System.with Ks second transcontinental line that is not imme- ately required, plus the burden of the National Transcontinental and Hudson Bay railways, cannot possibly bear Fixed Charges of such magnitude.Something like the follo*fing way of dealing with the situation would relieve the Railway Company.The Dominion Treasury cannot be relieved except through increased earnings.That the new National Railway Company to be formed shall have & nominal capital of say 6.000000 common shares and 2,500,000 8 per cent.Preference shares\u2014each share par value $100, The total authorized capital would thus be $780,000,000.00.\u2018That the Government take common shares at par in payment of ita axisting advances to the various systems.\u2018Thess, as of December 31st 1920, were $320,000,000.00 of Loans and 381,600.000.00 of Grand Trunk Pacific debentures.\u2018The figure could no doubt be in- creasod by S0th December next.or whatever date was fixed for taking over.The Government would turn over to the Company the equity in the System subject only to the Bonds and Debentures and guaranteed stock issued to the Public, and to the Fized Charges which may result from the Grand Trunk arbitration.Thus the existing Government advances, excluding the capital cost of the Intercolonial and Transeontinental, would be represented by Common Stock ownership only.and no part of the interest on it would be a Fixed Charge or would be cumulative.As regards the future: When the sesues of National Railway Securities incident to the immediate plans of the Minister of Finance are completed, I would suggest that any expenditures which can or shouid properly be charged to capital, shall he provided by the Government from year to year, and he capftalis.od by the issue tn the Government of a preference stock et par In respect of their capital advances.Any annual deficit on the other hand, which has to be met by the Government through the failure of Operating Revenue tn cover Operating Expenses, plus fixed charges due to the public, should be met by an ls- sue to the Government of Common Stock at par.Thus, the Company M the commencement, would have the whole af Me Preference Stock unissued, i.e.$340,000,000, and also $173,000,000, of Common stock unissued, The Preference Stock would noly be issued against CepKal expendkure advanced by the Government.The balance of Common Stock would be lesued to capitalize the operating deficits and Fixed Charges over the next few years.The result of this would be as fol- lowe: \u2014 \u2018 1.The initial cost of constructing the Inter-Colonial and Transcontinental Raliways would be written off a4 once.3.The further actual cost up to date to the Government of aoquiring the various systeme (except for the Fixed Charge incurred in respect of the Grand Trunk acquisition) would be à converted into the form of Common Stock, 3.Future capital provided by the Government for betterment, etc., would take the form of Preference Mock, 4.Future deficits would, for the time being, be converted into Common Stock until it appeared that thers waa a prospect of the Company being able to pay them off out of the excess earnings within a res- sonable number of years.On some plan like this, the accounts of the Company would show olearly from (he arrangement of the capital Haelf: & What the cost to the Government had deen of acquiring

Tiberal: bursts of radicaliam that smacked of Lloyd George: was a Tory of the Tories In foreign policy: believed with intewns fervor in the mission and destiny of the British Empire: but rivalled cven Mr.Hear! Bourassa in rugged Canadian Nationalimm.Nor was this strange admixture of views the result of confused thinking.On the contrary, bis virile indepen- deat mind saw nothing irreconcilable between love of the Empire and even greater love of Canada: nothine antagonistic between teaching citizens how to defend thelr country and a haired of oppression.A former teacher and a Jnarnalist to the end, be had a seady knowledge of world affairs and of world history, knew much of the beauties of art and music and Wierature, and took an almost devouring interest ia everything that pertained to the progress and life of nations and of mea.On military history he was an authority.He had visited most of the great battlefields of the world, knew intmataly the stories of ail the great wars of all time, and was equally conversant with the strategy of Napoleon.Welington or Hannibal.But he did not confine his fnierest to war.He ok an active interest in civic progress.In civic Government, in agricolture, In industry, in education, in commerce and finsace, and in all kinds of amateur sport.As a young man his [ame on the lacrosse feld was nation-wide.Indeed, at a time when lacrosse had reached the zenith of hs glory; when some of the greatest names assoclated with the game were at the pinnacte of their achievement, Sam Hughes stood out as among the brghiest stars of them all.A splendid speelmen of physical development, of powerful build, with the passion of a Rovervelt for exercise and train- nz, he was as much at home In the roped arena as on the lacrosse fickl.was a wrestler of no mean dis- tnetion, aml could ride or 1ame the most unruly steeds with the skill and daring of the best It is a soldier.however, that he will Hive in history.And while his service an à boy In th Fenian Raid.his fiers to raise corps for the Egyptian.Soudanese, and \\ighan campaigns and his exploits In South Africa sand out in his carecr, 14 is for the part he played In the World War that he will be best remembered.Bat though a soldier (0 the finger tips.he was never at heart a militaria.He hated the battaltoned despotism of Prussia, was an anticonscriptionist tn the core, and pisned an unquenchable faith in the civilian soldier.fle used to point tn the soldiers of Cromwell as history's greatest example of what a cltisen army could de: and more (han once espreaned thankfulness that he had lived to ve is faith vindicated In the incomparable acievements nf Canada's citisen arms.Besides a comprehensive knowledge of Canada pos- wesed by no other person, General Hughes had a first hand knowledge of mom of the other countries of the world.Mis knowledge of firearms of all kinds was of » highly technical nature, and on the rifle and revolver he was an experi.He was fond of horsefiesh and always owned and often rode a good horee.His Interest in the motor ca: was limited to Its usefulness but be was able to comprehend the technical details of trucks na of all other ; vehicles, !

incidence of the high cost of Nving was very forcibly lweughs heme by the news published not long ago that His Magesty the King was being foevad to reslise capital to the extent of $500.000 and whe the protreds as revence and certain facts in connection with the Royal income may prove of interest to our readers.The amount received by their Majesties in annuities from the Civil List is $3,380,000\u2014exactly the same sum as that voted by Parlement to King Edward VIL in 1961.The total is made up as follows :\u2014 Their Majessire\u2019 Privy Parce .3580,000 Salaries of Household.,., .020,200 Expenses of Houwschold .905.000 Works.1.1 22 2e 2e 40 54 ++ 21 .- ., 100,000 Unappropriated.Cte ee ae ae a.48,000 In addition the King received ia 1080 & sum of $213.000 from the revenues of the Duchy of Lancaster.The income from she Duchy has declined in recent years.In 1000 King Edward was paid $815,000 from the revenues of the year.In 1918 King George received $280,000.The Civil List dates from (he reign of Wilkam and Mary.Originsily the Income of the Sovereign consisted of Crown revemues from land, Excise duties, and other sources, mippiemented by money specially assigned by Parliament.The King was then respoasible, not only for the maintensce of the Royal Housshold, but also for the gemeral civil administration of the country.Parliament exercised no direct control over the cxpenditure until, in 1760, Gorge Il.surrendered the greater part of the beveditary revennes in England and accepud in their place a Olvil List of $4,000,000 per annum.From this sum the King's Household, and the honour and dignity of the Crown were to be sep- ported.as well as the Civil Service offices, pensions, and other charges still Inid on the lst.It is recorded that George III.applied a good deal of the money to the creation of places and pensions for his supporters in Parliament, and in such a way that the very independence of Parliament was menaced.The Monarch did not spend much on the Roya! Household, but the other outgoings were on so extensive a scale that the $1,000,000 per annum was greatly exceeded, with the resuit that Parllameat from time to time had Ww pay off debts incurred.Dissatisfaction was rite, and, after various attempts to investigate the Civil List had been frustreied, the Rockingham Ministry in 1788 carried a Civil List Act which deliberately aimed ne the Mnvitation of the ascendancy of the Crown over Parliament.Notwithstanding the reforms effected.debts still accumulated, and during the reiga of George TIT.debts amounting to no less than 916,990,308 had to be paid off by the nation.On tho accession of Willisu IV.the Civil List was fixed at $2.850,000 per annum, aad the King surrendered the hereditary revenwes of the Crown with some exceptions, among which the most important was the income from the Duchy of Lancasisr.Queen Victoria's Civil List was settled wader similar conditions.The annual sum was fized at $1,915,000 and the pension Het was separated from the ordinary Cwil List.From this time a new era began, The list for the flest time was coacerued exclusively with the support of the dignity and honour of the Crown and the Royal Household, and there were no further applications to Parliament for the discharge of debts.During the long reign of For Ladies.Queen Victorias no changes were made in the amount 80 Dresses in all wool Serge, or character of the list.When King Edward VII.i came to the Throne he placed his hereditary revenues mac and pevy, St quai unreservedly at the dispésal of Parliament, and, fol- style;

of the Fenian Raid, the North-West Rabellion, and the various ealls for service on the garrison volunteer forces in connection with riotaa.He can tell of the Quebec Cavalry and Quebec Field Battery,

distance was too long for either of the horses, being & m:le and & aix- teenth, and the dest that either of them could do was third, Golden Chance finishing in that pesition, with his stable-mate next.just out of the money.White Haven won this event.and paid the longest odds of the day, the price for a two dollar straight ticket being $37.60.in the fifth race Dudie Bug surprised the rest and paid $18.38 for a straight ticket, while in the following event Douglas Fairbanks finish- cé first, and recouped those who had backed his ability to win by $13.20.Raseñeld took the closing avent of the meet, a six and a half furiong sprint, trom a good field, In which the favorite was Lucky Pearl, and pald $19.90 for a straight ticket.The betting was the briskest of the entire meet, something like seventy thousand iron men passing through the hands of the sellers during the course of the seven races.\u2018The heaviest bet race of the bunch was the fourth, when in the vicinity of $29,000 was bet.In addition to the nice prices, the spectators got a real thrill for their money, when in the fAfth race, Dudie Bug and Twenty-Seven galloped all the way down the stretch with about an inch and a haif separating one from the other.As they flashed past the winning post, opinion as to who had won was divided Afty-fitty, one-half thinking that it was Twenty-Seven, while the others maintained that Dudle Hug had poked his nose across the line first.\u2018The offocial count went up, showing Dudle Bug was first and Twenty-Seven second, the judges explaining that the former was a bare nose ahead when the horses crossed the line.Jockey \u201cMickey\u201d Burger won the Racine Cup, offered for the jockey that had the most winning mounts during the entire meet, by winning two

part of the race.The same number of starters went Lo the post in the second event, alno over the five furlong route, for three-year-olds, Jacohs rushed Josephine K.Into the lead at the mart, and the chestnut Ally was not headed for the whole of the distance.Bir Mortimer closed up from fourth place on the stretch to heat out Blenny for third place, Vera Wood being second.In the third race, a mile run (or three-year-olds and up, an even half dozen went to the post.Lifllan G., piloted hy Emith.was rushed Into the lead at the start, but after leading for over & half mile, tired when challenged by

lfunt Club Cup, from a field of six horses.The Davin entry war heavily favor ed.Counsel flashed to the fore at the outset of the race, when Jacobs Rot the jump on the field.The colored rider kept his mount ahead until the final lap, when he managed to get pocketed, and dropped back to fifth place In order to ride around his field.White Haven galloped ahead on the far turn.and setting out a fast pace for the remainder of the race, showed n clean pair of heels to the rest, winning by a length.American Eagle.who was in fourth place for a time, was second, under « hard drive by Rauer, who managed to land his mount & neck ahead of Golden Chance.The Davis entry, Golden Chance and Fireworth, tired under hard drives.and fininhed third and fourth.The fifth race was the hardest one of all for the form pickers.as five exceedingly good horses were pitted against each other.It was a six furlong dash for three-year-olds and up.Dr Hall was sent off in the lead, and for the greater part of the race he kept In front, but on coming round the final turn into the stretch, Twenty-Seven and Dudle Bug both passed him, while in the final stages of the race.there being only about twenty yards to go, Jack Healey also came along, thus shutting out the leader from the money.Duéle Bus and Twenty-Seven flash- od past the post almost together.with Jack Healey a nose ahead of Dr.Hall.and a neck behind the leading pair.The official decision was that Dudle Bug was the winner, with Twenty-Geven second.In the sixth race, also over the six furlong route, for three-year.olds and up, another long shot turn- ze up the winner in Douglas Fair.O'Mahony gave his mount a clover ride, getting the Jump on the field and keeping the horse in front, ° from 4 July Fly.whe closed strongly, not strongly

three-year.olds and up, tired under the effects of a gruelling ride by Burger, and oaly finished in third place.8he took the lead at the outset of the race.but erlinquished first place to Col.Murphy, who in turn was pase.od on the stretch by Rosefield, who was given a really clever ride by Rae.Rosefleld won by a neck from Col.Murphy, with the latter the same distance in front of Lucky Pearl.who

Ottawa, Aung.34.\u2014(Canadian Presm)\u2014An interesting statement on income tax cellections, especially as hey effect the farmers of the Provinos of Ontario la contained in a letter written by 8ir Henry Drayton Minister of Finance, to the Editor of the Farmers\u2019 Sun, Toronto, and made public today by the Minister.The Finance Minister in his letter re- piles to a letter and editorial in the Sun in which he stated that charge was made that \u2018\u201cPrussian-like meth- ode\u201d were followed in the collection of income tax from farmers while at the same time the business interests were relieved from paying their just taxes The Canadian General Elec.Co.Lid.was especially mentioned.Sir Henry's letter follows:\u2014 \u201cThe Editor, The Farmers\u2019 Sun, Toronto, \u2018 \u201cDear

of the campaign you and your associates are now angaged in, the fostering of a class spirit wih class suspicion, If not indeed, hatred.\u201c1 write as you especlaily ask what [ have to say about the

Indeed the agricultural community is to entirely ask direct taxation.\u201c1 have further to say no company has escaped paying its income tax.Down to the end of the last (March $1st, 1921)

Retain 20% And Exaot Ten Year Guarantees From Company For upwards of two hours last night the members of the Civic Roads Committees discussed the paving of St.Foy Road by the Barbeau Company upon whom the city served a protest that the work was not being done according to contract, \u2018The contract which called for the paving of the road from Avenue des Braves to the western limits of the city, stipulated that there should be a foundation of four inches of stones laid upon the macadam roadbed and then covered with a coating of \u201cwarrenite.\u201d It was shown that the City Engineer directed the company where to deposit the stone before the \u2018was started and thet before 108 were laid the City protested the warrenite was being spread upon the macsdam without lated coating of stone.satisfaction.Some sald that they had had it for seventeen years and it was still good.He said that there had been & misunderstanding, but that the Barbeau firm was under the impression that the City wanted | | warrenite on the macadam and had tendered that way.In reply to Chairman Bouchard City Engineer Baillairge said he had consulted other engineers, Messrs.Henri, Gauvreau and Fraser and they had all told him that if the warrenite was put down on the mae- adam without the four inches of foundation ft would not make a good pavement, Ald.Delagrave held that it was an injustice to other contractors who intended to live up to the conditions of the contract and had accordingly quoted higher prices.Chairman Bouchard sald that the company had signed the contract knowing full well that it called for & four-inch foundation of stone, and asked if the members of the Committee were satisfied now to accept inferior work.Ald.Bertrand said that the contractors were Quebec people and should be spared.Ald.Emile Bouchard said he was at the City Hall to protect the interests of the public and to guard his own reputation.Ald, asked Chairman Bouchard what he would advise in the matter, and the Chairman sald that he belleved that the City should cancel the contract and call for new tenders, while the price to be paid for the work aiready done should be reduced.; Mayor Samson thought that the city should withhold 304% of the contract price while awaiting a guar- | antes from the company.After further discussion M was |} finally decided to let the Barbeau Company continue the work on Bt Foy
