[Stage Direction]
The Department of Trade and Commerce for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1908. Part II, Trade of Foreign Countries and Treaties and Conventions.-Rt. hon. Sir Wilfrid Laurier.

Hon.   WM@: TEMPLEMAN (Minister ot Inland Revenue) moved for leave to introduce a Bill (No. 127) respecting Commercial Feeding Stuffs. He said: This Bill proposes to deal with feeding stuffs for domestic animals. There is no law dealing with these substances other than indirectly. The Bill runs pretty much along the line of another Bill now on the Order

Paper dealing with agriculture fertilizers. It is proposed to compel manufacturers of commercial feeding stuffs to register and sell their products under a number given by the Inland Revenue Department, and to put upon the packages the guaranteed analyses of the contents of the food sold, thus creating to some extent, a standard by which the manufacturers of these foodstuffs will sell and affording the purchaser some guarantee of the genuineness of the article bought. The Bill is believed to be very much in the interests of the purchaser and has been approved by agricultural associations and others interested.


Mr. J. D. REID (Grenville).: Do I understand that other cattle foods than bran or shorts must have branded on the package the contents showing exactly what the mixture is made of? Farmers complain that when they buy bran, instead of getting pure bran, sweepings and other stuff are mixed with it, so that the purchaser does not know what he is buying.


Mr. TEMPLEMAN.: The Bill covers the point raised by the hon. member. It relates to any article offered for sale for the feeding of domestic animals, including those claimed to possess medicinal as well as nutritive properties. Hay, straw, roots, the ordinary meals of wheat, rye, barley, oats or corn, and also bran or middlings of any of these grains sold separately, must be genuinely what they profess to be, and must not be mixed.
Motion agreed to and Bill read the first time.



INQUIRIES FOR RETURNS.

Hon. GEO  E.@: FOSTER (North Toronto;. Before the orders of the day are called, I would ask the Minister of Finance (Mr. Fielding) if he will hurry down the returns ordered by the House with respect to loans since .Tanuary X, 1907?


Hon. W. S. FIELDING.: Minister of Finance). If not to-day, I think they will be ready to-morrow without fail.


Mr. FOSTER.: I would like to have it before the Easter holidays.


William Stevens Fielding: I think it will be ready.


George Eulas Foster: I understood from the Minister of Militia and Defence (Sir Frederick Borden) when I asked about the return of the armouries, that it was practically ready. But I do not find that it has been brought down. I would like to get it also before the Easter holidays.


Hon.   S@: I said that, so far as my department was concerned, it wan ready, awaiting the principal part, which comes from the Department of Public Works.


George Eulas Foster: Am I right in thinking that the government have taken Mondays?


Sir WILFRID LAURIER.: That resolution will be introduced to-morrow.


George Eulas Foster: If that resolution were introduced to-morrow and carried, and were made the rule for the first Monday thereafter, we might get at the motions to-day, and there are a number of motions which would be unopposed. There are also certain orders on the paper that some members would like to drop. It might be possible for the government to take unopposed motions before private Bills, with the consent of the House.


Wilfrid Laurier: I think we will come to motions presently. I do not think there are any contentious private Bills. But we will consult the convenience of the House with regard to it..



AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE.

Mr. URIAH WILSON.: I desire to call the attention of the Minister of Agriculture to the fact that the report of the Committee on Agriculture and Colonization last year has not been distributed. I think it is very important we should have it.


Mr. FISHER.: The evidence of each officer is generally taken and distributed. I do not remember that they were all bound together.


Uriah Wilson: Every year that is done, and most of us have not got the evidence that was given before the committee last year that is bound in blue book form.


Sydney Arthur Fisher: The Minister of-Agriculture is not responsible for that evidence. The Committee on Agriculture is responsible, and I decline to have the responsibility put upon me.



THE LOGBERG PRINTING COMPANY.

Mr. G. H. BRADBURY (Selkirk).: I desire to bring a matter before the attention of the House. On the 17th of February I asked for a return of the amount that was paid to the Logberg Printing Company. On the 26th of March that return was brought down, stating that the amount was some $500, for the Public Works Department only. All other departments return report nil. In looking over the Auditor General's Report I find that for the year 1908 alone there was a sum of $4,752 paid to this company. Taking the years I asked for in the return, the sum would amount to at least $25,000. But the return actually brought down says there was only $572. There was certainly a great error made in this return. If all the returns brought down to parliament are as unreliable as that, it is a serious matter.


William Stevens Fielding: Is there any question as to the period which the return covers? Can there be any misunderstanding?


George Henry Bradbury: No, the returns are brought down by the Public Works Department for each year.



SUB-CONTRACTORS ON GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC-BRITISH COLUMBIA SECTION.

Mr. J. D. TAYLOR (New Westminster).: I wish to call attention to a matter which refers to the departments of the Minister of Labour and the Minister of Railways and Canals. I have here a report sent to me from Prince, a Prince Rupert paper, based upon the telegram from Vancouver.
Vancouver, March 27.-Royal mail steamer ' Monfceagle ' arrived from the orient yesterday with sixty Russian moujiks from Siberia, imported to work on the Grand Trunk Pacific construction from Prince Rupert east. The moujiks are to replace the Englishspeaking labourers, who do not really conform to hard conditions and to the wages they have been receiving. The Russians are to work in a colony bv themselves, just as Italian gangs do, if they prove satisfactory. They are to be taken to Prince Rupert on the 'Princess May.' It is not learned what they are to be paid; but it is evident they are under something like the padrone system. Another and larger party is to arrive on the next Canadian Pacific Railway steamer.
If this despatch represents the true condition of affairs, it shows that contract labour of a very degraded kind is being imported for service on the Grand Trunk Pacific. On another page of (the same paper there is an article setting forth that a year ago the firm of Foley, Welch and Stewart, of St. Paul, Minnesota, of Spokane Washington, and of Winnipeg, Manitoba, entered into a contract to grade 100 miles of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway beginning at Prince Rupert. The Prince Rupert ' Empire ' states that they had 2,500 men at work a month ago, but that the work was going on very slow, and it gives as a reason that the sub-contractors were employing labour of an inferior quality. The ' Empire ' goes on to say:
Foley, Welch & Stewart, as practical railway builders, have a system of carrying on their business. The system is a 'good one for Foley, Welch & Stewart, however poor it may be for the men who do the work. They will not change it, no matter if men injured on the work are treated worse than brutes are treated on farm? in Ontario; no matter if men who earn wages are put to undue expense to collect the wages earned; no matter if the subcontractors, who are judgment proof, cause loss to station men; no matter if expensive plant remains idle for weeks at a time owing to petty disputes over wages. They know that the Dominion government moves slowly, if it moves at all.
On another page of the same paper I find a report of a case that was tried in the


George Henry Bradbury: county court at Prince Rupert before Judge Young, showing the relations that exist between the main contractors and the subcontractors. The report states that a number of labourers got work from Fred. Petersen, a sub-contractor under Foley, Welch and Stewart. Not being able to get their pay, the men brought suit to recover pay for work done and the jury gave them a verdict for $2,548 for work done and $5,000 for damages. Foley, Welch and Stewart claim this is excessive and refuse to pay, claiming that Peterson is in debt to the old firm of Foley Brothers, Larson and Company for $15,000. The 'Empire' article goes on to say:
It is not known to the ' Empire ' what action the station men will take who have a $7,548 judgment against Fred. Petersen, who is apparently judgment proof, although he has $8,000 worth of tools and supplies in his camps. The $7,548 represents work done or in shape to be done at a minimum cost by the ten station men in six months. If the amount is not paid them, it will wipe out half the $15,000 Petersen owes Foley Bros., Larson & Co., of St. Paul, Minnesota, and Helena, Montana. It will help swell the personal fortune of Timothy and Michael Foley and of the Larson estate, both millionaires many times over, and all of their millions are invested in the United States.
But while Foley, Welch and Stewart are wielding a big club here in Skeena district it is just possible a bigger club can be wielded on the head of Chas. M'. Hays, of Montreal, who is president of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company, and that Premier Laurier will yield the club, for is it not the money of the people of Canada that Foley, Welch and Stewart are withholding from the ten station-men-


Mr. SPEAKER.: The hon. gentleman (Mr. J. D. Taylor) knows the rule under which it is not permitted to discuss a matter of this kind upon the orders of the day. It is allowable to put a question to the government relating to the business of the House, but the discussion of a question of this nature is out of order. The hon. gentleman may state the facts or he may put a question which will not entail a debate.


James Davis Taylor: I have to leave today and if I do not present it now I cannot present it at all.


James Kirkpatrick Kerr: The hon. gentleman will have to be satisfied with calling the attention of the government to the facts without discussion.


James Davis Taylor: That is what I propose to do.


James Kirkpatrick Kerr: There seems to be an attack upon the government which will entail a reply.


James Davis Taylor: No, I am not proposing to make an attack upon the government.


Some hon. MEMBERS: Order.


James Davis Taylor: The paragraph says.
It is just possible-
1 Mr. SPEAKER. Order, these are not the facts; these are the ideas of the editor. If the hon. gentleman -will rest satisfied *with putting the facts he will be in order.


James Davis Taylor: I will proceed then to present the facts in this way:	Section
40 of the National Transcontinental Railway Act, chapter 71, 1903, provides that:
The company shall, before being entitled to the guarantee provided by this agreement, furnish evidence, satisfactory to the government, that all just claims of contractors and for materials, wages and supplies, and all just claims against contractors and sub-contractors for materials, wages and supplies, entering into and supplied for the construction of the railway have been duly paid.
Here is a firm of contractors who are violating the conditions of the Act by preventing these people from getting the money they have earned. As the government have contracted to see that they get that money I want to call the attention of the government to the fact that this state of affairs exists and to ask that they put the necessary machinery in operation to assist these men in the obtainment of their wages.



PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS.

Mr. M. CLARK (Red Deer).: Mr. Speaker, I desire to crave your indulgence and that of the the House for a very brief personal explanation. The explanation refers to a paragraph which appears in a newspaper called the 'Toronto Sunday World.' In that paragraph the writer purports to give an account of the proceedings in this House last Friday evening and in that report he uses these words:
Mr. Stanfield, the husky member for Colchester, overheard the member from Red Deer apply an insulting epithet to Mr. Foster. He warned Dr. Clark that if he did not instantly withdraw he would thrash him; and after looking Mr. Stanfield carefully over, the apology was forthcoming.
Mr. Speaker, during the time that I have had the honour of knowing the hon. member for Colchester, I wish to ask you, Sir, and this House, to believe me when I state that he has never addressed to me one single word which, interpreted according to the strictest canons, could be called ungentlemanly or impolite, much less has he ever used to me language which, by any stretch of the imagination, could be called threatening. I wish the House to believe this further statement that there was no language of this description used towards me; so that there was no withdrawal or apology forthcoming from me. I regret to have to call attention to this incident at all, because I may say that I have carefully read a large number of the newspaper accounts of what happened 124}
' ~\k:\	.mv * w
on Friday night and these accounts are very generally truthful, very generally unexaggerated and reflect the very greatest credit upon the press of this country. In 'regard to the paragraph to which I have just referred and to which I wish to give the most emphatic contradiction, I can only say, in quoting the language of Macaulay in regard to certain scribes of his day, that the people who compose these paragraphs 'act after their kind.'


Mr. D. B. NEELY (Humboldt).: Mr. Speaker, I would like to draw the attention of the House to the fact that there is another member of this House who has been maligned to some extent by the same article in this edition of the 'Toronto Sunday World.' A little farther on this article proceeds to say:
Later in the House Mr. Stanfield got into a heated argument with Mr. Neely, of Humboldt and threatened that member with extermination if he did not withdraw a remark, also applied to Mr. Foster. The affair was patched up by friends.
I want to say, Sir, that I am sorry the hon. member for Colchester (Mr. Stanfield) is not here to-day, because I am sure that he would give to this quite as emphatic a denial as my hon. friend from Red Deer (Mr. Clark) has to the paragraph just preceding. The hon. member for Colchester could not possibly have had any excuse or reason for threatening to exterminate me on account of any statements or epithets applied to the hon. member for North Toronto (Mr. Foster) because I did not apply any epithets to that hon. gentleman. I did not say anything to the hon. gentleman for North Toronto, either agreeable or disagreeable, unless it might be something in the way of mild admonition that he should take his medicine in common with remarks of that kind applied by quite a number of the members of this House.



MANITOBA AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY.

[Stage Direction]
House in committee on Bill (No. 81) respecting the Manitoba and North Western Railway Company of Canada.-Mr. Cash.
David Bradley Neely: When this Bill was before the committee on Friday last, Mr. Chairman, I placed in your hands an amendment. I would point out that paragraph A of section 9, of chapter 52, of the statutes of 1893, refers to that part of the charter of this company granted in 1893 for the building of a branch line from the town of York-ton to the city of Prince Albert in the present province of Saskatchewan. The effect of my amendment, if it is carried, is to strike out the particular paragraph in the Bill now before the committee, which has reference to the building of the branch line from Yorkton to the city of Prince Albert.

The reason I have brought this matter before the committee is, that this Manitoba and Northwestern charter has had a very striking history; a histroy which if thoroughly known to the members of the House would not I am sure inspire in them any feelings of sympathy towards that charter. I have had very strong representations from the people in that part of the country protesting against the renewal of this charter. The Canadian Pacific Railway have held the Manitoba and Northwestern charter, as the House knows, since 1893 or practically for sixteen years, and the charter was in existence for some twelve or thirteen years previous to that. Therefore, the charter for this particular line of railroad that I am referring to has been in existence practically since the year 1880, the year in which the original Manitoba and Northwestern charter was passed by the Manitoba legislature. The Canadian Pacific Railway therefore have held this charter for sixteen years, and while they have made surveys two or three times, and while they have gathered together a few shovels full of earth in the shape of starting to grade at one or two points along the proposed line, they have practically made no use whatever of this particular charter. I want the committee to understand that this has been a very great hardship to a great many peo-pie who have gone into this section on the understanding and with the expectation that the Canadian Pacific Railway had taken over the charter in good faith for the purpose of building this piece of road. Every means possible have been taken to bring pressure to bear upon the Canadian Pacific Railway to construct this piece of road. For instance, in looking up chapter 52 of the statutes of 1893, I find that section 9 gives the power to build these particular lines of railroad, and subsection 3 of that section provides:
The company shall construct and complete to the satisfaction of the Governor in Council, not less than 20 miles of railway on or before the 31st day of December in each calendar year after the year 1893, or otherwise their powers under this section shall cease as regards so much of the said lines of railway as is not completed by the said date in each calendar year.
That means that there has been a provision in this charter ever since the Cnnadian Pacific Railway have taken it over, as there was before that time, to the effect that this company was to build twenty miles every year. To show what attention they have paid to this provision, I may mention that they have not built one single mile of line from the town of Yorkton to the city of Prince Albert. Then again, I object to the way in which the Canadian Pacific Railway undertake to get their extensions of time for these charters so long over due. I object to the way in which they undertake to get such legislation through the Railway Mr. NEELY.
Committee and through this House. In this Bill (No. 81) which is before us ait present, they are asking for an extension of time on some other branch lines, the charters for which they have obtained since 1893. In or der to cover up the fact that they have held the charter for this particular branch line for the past sixteen years they run in three or four other charters which have been granted in more recent times. This particular charter that we are considering illustrates very well the futility of putting in any requirements as to building a road in the case of the Canadian Pacific Railway; because as I say there is this provision in the charter ever since they took it over, and for that matter before they took it over, to the effect that they must build twenty miles every calendar year. The fact of the matter is that they have never carried out that condition, but they apparently find it easier to come back to parliament to obtain a renewal of the charter. Now, Sir, I think that sixteen years is a reasonable length of time in which to have allowed the Canadian Pacific Railway to accomplish something on this road.


John Dowsley Reid: Twenty-nine years.


David Bradley Neely: Twenty-nine years so far as the whole charter is concerned, but the Canadian Pacific Railway have held it since 1893 or for sixteen years. I think something should be done now, and I would like the promoter of the Bill to tell this committee, what he did not tell the Railway Committee, why it is that the Canadian Pacific Railway are asking to have this charter renewed. It is only a couple of weeks ago that in Bill (No. 79) the Canadian Pacific Railway obtained from this House an extension of time for the construction of the branch line from the town of Lanigan on the Kirkella branch up to the city of Prince Albert. I am sure the hon. gentleman who is promoting this Bill has no confidence in his own mind that the Canadian Pacific Railway intends to build this particular piece of road, or at all events that it intends to build it in the immediate future. Why should this House grant this renewal of time when we have no evidence whatever that the Canadian Pacific Railway intend to build. If they did intend to build they should at least say so, and yet I have it on good authority that this branch line is not part of their programme for this next year, and so far as I can obtain any information it is not a part of their programme for the year following. The people in that part of the country do not want this extension granted. Their view is that if this charter is not renewed that probably some local capitalists or promoters may become interested in building a railway from Prince Albert to some point on the main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway.

Whether they are Tight or wrong the people of that part of the country feel that the granting of a charter to the Canadian Pacific Railway tends to prevent other railroads from seeking for charters through the same territory. I am strongly of the same opinion. We know perfectly well that in a great many cases the obtaining of a charter by promoters who are not actual railroad builders does not prevent others from obtaining charters and constructing railroads; but in the case of the Canadian Pacific Railway it is an entirely different proposition because so long as that road holds a charter for a certain territory and the section will support only one line, no other railroad company will undertake to get a charter through that territory, and if another railroad company should obtain a charter and begin building the Canadian Pacific Railway would immediately get busy in order to stop the construction of the competing line of Tailroad. That is the policy of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and I am convinced in my own mind that that is the only reason why they are seeking an extension of time for this particular charter, in order to blanket this territory and keep any other railroad from undertaking to build through it. So I think the view of the people of that part of the country is reasonable, and that unless the Canadian Pacific Railway immediately commence construction the charter should be taken away from them. It is merely a question of asking the Canadian Pacific Railway to quit playing dog in the manger. I am not finding any fault with the operation of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The argument most frequently advanced in favour of granting such extensions of time to the Canadian Pacific Railway is that they have such an extensive programme of railway construction in the west. I do not think that is any excuse for the Canadian Pacific Railway not building this particular line. Whv should the Canadian Pacific Railway not have an extensive programme of building branch lines and other lines in the Canadian Northwest? I would like to know whether the people of the Canadian Northwest are under any compliment to the Canadian Pacific Railway for the amount of railway construction they are carrying on there. The wealth of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company has been obtained to a very large extent from the resources of the Canadian Northwest, and the people of that country do not feel under any compliment to the Canadian Pacific Railway for the building of their branch lines. They are using the people's money, they are using the resources of western Canada, which were given to them by the terms of their original contract That argument I say, therefore, does not hold water, because we feel that we are entitled to all the railroad construction we are getting from
the Canadian Pacific Railroad. Whether this amendment of mine carries or not, I shall continue so long as I am a member of this House to use every legitimate means I possess to prevent these extensions of time to the Canadian Pacific Railway or any other company unless the company is in a position to give some reasonable excuse or reason for not having carried out the terms of its charter, I shall oppose the granting of any extensions which will enable a company to blanket territory for no other purpose than to keep .other railroads from building through it.


Mr. HENDERSON.: Mr. Speaker, I shall not discuss the mode of construction of railways by the Canadian Pacific Railway in the west. I assume that hon. members fully appreciate what the Canadian Pacific Railway has done and what they are endeavouring to do, but I must say that I think it is a mistake to depreciate, as some hon. members have done, what that great railway corporation are and have been doing. I do not believe in throwing obstacles in their way if they are endeavouring to give railway accommodation to the people in the west. The whole matter lies in a nutshell. In 1903 the Manitoba and Northwestern Railway Company applied for and obtained a charter to construct a railway from Yorkton in a northwesterly direction to Prince Albert on the north branch of the Saskatchewan river. The sub-clause of section 9 now in question reads:
The company may lay out, construct and operate the following lines of railway of the gau^e of 4 feet Si inches.
(a) An extension of the main line from the present terminus' at Yorkton in a northwesterly direction to a point at or near Prince Albert on the north branch of the Saskatchewan river.
The hon. member's amendment repeals this subsection which would have the effect of repealing the right to construct a railway, repealing a charter which gave the Manitoba and Northwestern Railway Company the power to construct a railway from Yorkton to Prince Albert. The hon. gentleman forgets or perhaps he is not familiar with the territory. I do not claim to be very familiar with it; I have been in Yorkton but I was never beyond Yorkton on that road, but I understand distinctly from my hon. friend from McKenzie, that the Canadian Pacific Railway or the Manitoba and Northwestern Company, whichever it is, has already constructed nearly 50 miles of that road and that it is in operation today. I spoke to a gentleman to-day who told me he had travelled over that road, that it is in actual operation; yet here is an attempt on the part of an hon. gentleman from the west to repeal an Act of parliament which authorizes the construction' of a road of which nearly 50 miles has been

built and is now in operation. I submit to the House that such a thing was never attempted in parliament, and although parliament has the power to do almost anything it would be interfering with the right of that railway company in reference to an undertaking which it is now carrying on that I do not think this parliament would for a moment tolerate.


David Bradley Neely: I would say to the hon. member that his statement that 50 miles had been built on the line from "Yorkton to Prince Albert is absolutely contrary to the facts of the ease.
An. hon. MEMBER. How many miles?


David Bradley Neely: None whatever.


David Henderson: I think there are men in the House who know that territory better than the hon. gentleman does.


David Bradley Neely: I know the country very well.


David Henderson: The hon. member from Huron told me he had travelled over that road.


Mr. T. CHISHOLM.: So I did, from Yorkton to Sheho.


David Henderson: I am satisfied that the hon. gentleman who is promoting this Bill (Mr. Cash) is familiar with the fact that that portion of the road has been constructed from Yorkton to Sheho, a distance of 40 or 50 miles, sufficient to warrant this House in defending the charter of the company which constructed that road. My hon. friend seems to be entirely mistaken. He will find on inquiry that he is attempting to repeal the charter of a road, a considerable portion of which has already been constructed. The Minister of Railways (Mr. Graham) is not in his place but I am sure the right hon. the Prime Minister will not consent that, where a charter has been granted and the company has constructed such a large portion of the road, that the charter will be taken from the company. The charter was obtained in 1893. In 1902 the time was extended for the construction of the line mentioned in subsections A and B. In 1907 it was extended for the completion of the railway authorized by section 9 of chapter 52. Not only have these charters been kept alive by parliament, but the company has gone ahead in good faith and constructed nearly 50 miles of road. That surely entitles them to the consideration of the House, and I do not think that, under the circumstances, the House will repeal the very charter under which the company are now operating the railway to that extent. I submit that my hon. friend must be labouring under a serious mistake or he would not have introduced this amendment.


David Henderson: 


David Bradley Neely: The hon. gentleman is entirely wrong and so is the hon. member for East Huron (Mr. Chisholm). The line of railway from Yorkton to Sheho has nothing to do with the line from Yorkton to Prince Albert. That is a line going westward and which will connect with the Kirk-ella at the town of Lanigan.


Thomas Chisholm: I do not understand it in that way. I travelled over that road before the extension was made to Lanigan, and I understood it was part of this very road to Prince Albert.


David Bradley Neely: I think that the hon. gentleman who is promoting the Bill will say that the line from Yorkton to Sheho is being extended to Lanigan and is almost completed at present.


David Henderson: The clause of the Act of 1893, which it is sought to repeal, is the clause that authorizes the construction of a road from Yorkton to Prince Albert. I am not speaking of the road from Sheho westerly as that is a different charter altogether. The language is unmistakable that this is a charter for a road now in operation, and I cannot see how the hon. member for Humboldt can fail to be mistaken. The section says:
Extension of the main line from the present terminus at Yorkton in a northwesterly direction to a point at or near Prince Albert on the Saskatchewan river.
There is no other railway running from Yorkton in that direction to Sheho. The road from Sheho to which the hon. gentleman has referred is another charter running westward from Sheho to a place called Lanigan, but the hon. gentleman has made a mistake. He is repealing too much. If he had submitted an amendment to repeal a portion of subsection A in section 9 of the Act of 1893-that portion lying between Sheho and Prince Albert, he might have had some ground for his appeal; but he is asking the House to repeal the entire charter from Yorkton to Prince Albert or the road running from Yorkton, through Sheho and on to Prince Albert. The hon. member for McKenzie (Mr. Cash) will substantiate what I have said with reference to the portion of the road constructed and now in operation.


Mr. CASH.: I am perfectly familiar with the conditions. The road runs from Portage La Prairie with a terminal at Yorkton. The line extended to Prince Albert under the old survey; and the line built from Yorkton to Sheho is on that old Manitoba and northwestern survey, right in a section where fault was found with the Canadian Pacific Railway for not building the road, many settlers having gone there from Dakota under the conviction that that line

would be built. The line remained at York-ton quite a number of years, but since 1903 it has been extended, on the old survey to Prince Albert, as far as Sheho. After it arrived at Sheho, for some reasons known best to the Canadian Pacific Railway, they went westward to join with their Kirkella branch at a place called Lanigan. They have graded that line and have built to about half way between Sheho and Lanigan and what they are asking now is to go on the old survey from Sheho to Prince Albert. I presume they want to build that road, and I am anxious they should because it will give my section of country the shortest route possible to Prince Albert, and from Prince Albert to Winnipeg. I think that this extension of time should be granted for several reasons. I have no particular interest in the line, but it is of considerable importance to the people in my section of the country that it should be built. The Bill was handed to me to take charge of, and I did so as I was interested in the Manitoba and Northwestern to this extent. I can see the advantage the road will be to my section of the country and to Prince Albert and the country through which it will pass. The people are complaining at not having got the road sooner, and I do not know how they will get it any sooner if we refuse this extension. The Canadian Pacific Railway will probably build the line this summer. I have no doubt that, with the force of men they have on hand, they will begin construction to Prince Albert possibly this fall; but I am not stating this on the authority of the Canadian Pacific Railway people but simply on my own judgment. In my opinion it is their interest to do so as it is the shortest line to Prince Albert and the best. I think the amendment is a great mistake and consequently ought not to be considered. I do not find that the amendment as read by you, Mr. Chairman, agrees with the notice m the Votes and Proceedings.


Mr. DEPUTY SPEAKER.: There were two amendments proposed. If the hon. gentleman will look at some other copy of the Votes and Proceedings, he will see that the amendment as now put is properly put.


Edward L. Cash: I have the second amendment before me and also the other. The amendment in Friday's Votes and Proceedings reads:
That clause 1 be amended to read as follows: Paragraph A, of section 9, of chapter 52, of the statutes of 1893, is hereby repealed.
There is no question of the clause reading *as clause No. 2.
That would practically cut out the whole of the clause and all the branch lines connected therewith. If clause No. 1 were repealed it would practically cut out the whole of the line, and all the branch lines connected therewith.


Gilbert Howard McIntyre: The amendment is really that clause 1, instead of being as it is in the Bill, should be as the hon. member has read it. But, as I stated, the intention was that clause 1 of the Bill should become clause 2, and I mentioned that. The amendment is simply that clause 1 should read as follows;
Paragraph A, of section 9, of chapter 52w of the statute of 1893, is hereby repealed.
But as the hon. member stated that the present clause 1 would become clause 2, I thought in explanation in committee I was justified in mentioning it.


Edward L. Cash: I think that ought to be stated in the notice.


Mr. RUTAN.: As a portion of this line runs through my constituency I wish to support the protest of the hon. member for Humboldt (Mr. Neely). The people who live in that section have grave doubts of the intention of the Canadian Pacific Railway to. extend this line to Prince Albert. After sixteen years of promises by the company the people there feel that it is now about time that something should be done. They have been promised this road for many years. People came into that section of the country with the expectation that this road would be built, and they went through many of the hardships of pioneers. They lived from 40 to 80 miles from a railroad. When the Can-dian Pacific Railway acquired the Manitoba and Northwestern road there was a clause in the agreement that they should build 30 miles of this road each year until it was all built. The people thought that it would be done, but they were disappointed. In 1903 they, the people, were given to understand that the company would build their road west to parallel with the Canadian Northern. In 1902, when the Canadian Northern were extending their lines from the boundary of Manitoba west to Prince Albert, the Canadian Pacific Railway did become active for a little while. They put forth considerable effort and ran two surveys, and they	got all their friends	to talk	forthem and	help	them	make the	people	believe that	they	were	going to	Prince	Albert, that	they	were	going on	at once	to
build that road following the surveys. However, nothing was done. They ran their survey lines, and as the Canadian Northern did not stop, they dropped the project and at once turned their road west to parallel the Canadian Northern main line. The people who live in that section of the country and who have undergone great hardships in pioneering felt

very much disappointed. They have been obliged to haul their grain to market, as I said, all the way from 40 to 80 miles. It took them a week to make a trip to Prince Albert, and their expenses about ate up whatever they received for their produce. As this road has turned west and the company has not. yet manifested any intention of building, I think the people have a right to doubt their intention to go on and build this road. No doubt ultimately they will build it, because the growth of the country and its products will sometime or other induce them to construct it. But the people want it now. We know that if another charter was granted to run over this line, no matter to whom it was granted, the Canadian Pacific Railway, being a very powerful company, could in 48 hours put on enough men to start construction, and in this way prevent the other company from going on. There is another reason why we doubt their sincerity. They have not selected any land in the north part of Saskatchewan, their lands are all else where, as are the rest of their interests, and we think they are holding this charter as a blanket. Further than that, this great road in the last eight or ten years has done nothing to promote immigration into our country. When people come up from the States with the intention of going to Prince Albert and other northern points, the company carries them elsewhere, gives them transportation clear out to Calgary in another province entirely. The Canadian Pacific Railway was willing to undertake their transportation and send them on further west rather than allow them to go to the northern parts. Therefore, I say we have certainly reason to doubt their sincerity. We think it is now about time that they should get out and allow us to give a charter to some other company who will be willing to help us develop our section of the country.
I shall support the amendment to the hon. member for Humboldt.


Mr. LANCASTER.: How would the repealing of this charter facilitate you in getting your railroad built?


William Windfield Rutan: If this charter was out of the way we could get a new one. But as long as the Canadian Pacific holds the charter they can go to work at any time and start construction and head off any other project.


Mr. TURRIFF.: When this matter was before the Railway Committee I supported the contention of the hon. member for Humboldt. I quite agree that the Canadian Pacific Railway has done a great deal of work in that country, and is doing a great deal of work, and everybody Mr. RUTAN.	.
gives them credit for what they are doing. But it seems to me the fact they are building a certain number of roads is no argument why a charter should be renewed year after year when nothing is being done on that particular charter, and especially when it is a charter that has been in existence for the last 29 years, for the last 16 of which the Canadian Pacific Railway has held it. The Canadian Pacific Railway has had all consideration; but don't you think there ought to be some consideration shown to the settlers in that part of the country? What is the position ? The hon. member for Humboldt and the hon. member for Prince Albert came before the Railway Committee representing those people, and stated that the people in those sections where this line is to run are against the renewal of that charter, simply because, as I have been told, the Canadian Pacific Railway have stated that they have no intention of doing anything on that charter this year.
They have no intention of building for the next two years. Why should not the charter be cancelled so that somebody else may be given an opportunity to come in and build the road, especially when the people of that part of the country ask that that should be done? It comes to this: Are the wishes of the people of the section affected to have any weight with the members of this House, or are the wishes of the Canadian Pacific Railway, who want the charter kept in force and have no intention of building at the present time, to have weight? I, for one, am going to take the ground that the voice of the people should be heard and not the voice of the railways. We do not want to oppose the Canadian Pacific Railway wherever they want to build, but they have had this charter sixteen years and have no intention of building now. There is a misapprehension between the hon. member for Humboldt (Mr. Neely) and the hon. member for Mackenzie (Mr. Cash). The road is already built from Yorkton to Sheho. I am not prepared to say whether that was built under the original Manitoba, Northwestern charter, or whether it was built under the new charter the Canadian Pacific Railway has got. But this I am certain of-they got a charter from Sheho, not in a northwesterly direction, but rather in a southwesterly direction to Lanigan, and from Lanigan they got a charter this session to extend through to Prince Albert. This is the second charter they want to get-this being a renewal-from Sheho to Prince Albert. The hon. member from Humboldt (Mr. Neely) is not to blame, for he is taking the language of a former Act of parliament. But what he wants to have cancelled is not the line from Yorkton to

Prince Albert, but the line from Sheho to Prince Albert.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: But does not the hon. member (Mr. Turriff) say that the effect of the motion is the opposite of what he says is intended?


John Gillanders Turriff: There may be something in that. The amendment may not be properly worded. But this branch comes up in connection with five or six others, making it almost impossible to cut out one without cutting out all. But the voice of the people should be heard, and they do not want this charter revived or given any longer existence, for they want to give somebody else an opportunity to go in and build the road.


George Eulas Foster: Will the hon. member allow iqe to ask a question? I want to find out for myself, if I can, what would be the effect of passing this resolution. As I understand it, the Canadian Pacific Railway now can build from Sheho to Prince Albert.


John Gillanders Turriff: Via Lanigan-they have that charter now.


Edward L. Cash: They have a charter from Sheho to Prince Albert.


John Gillanders Turriff: That is what they are asking.


George Eulas Foster: Is this by a new charter or by renewal?


John Gillanders Turriff: By renewal.


George Eulas Foster: They have had, and if this passes they wall continue to have?


John Gillanders Turriff: They have a charter from Lanigan to Prince Albert.


George Eulas Foster: Each of these charters running through Sheho?


John Gillanders Turriff: Yes.


George Eulas Foster: Very, well; then they have a charter to run from Lanigan


John Gillanders Turriff: From Sheho to Lanigan and Lanigan to Prince Albert.


George Eulas Foster: That is, if they get this they wi'l have the right to build two roads to Prince Albert?


John Gillanders Turriff: Yes.


George Eulas Foster: Suppose the amendment were to pass, what will they have?


John Gillanders Turriff: They have the road built to Sheho, and they have it built half way from Sheho to Lanigan. They will have the right to continue from Lanigan to Prince Albert.


George Eulas Foster: And cut the people out from Sheho to Prince Albert. What do they say?	.!	1


John Gillanders Turriff: Nine-tenths of the people from Sheho to Prince Albert say that this has been in existence for sixteen years, and nothing has been done with the charter and so they ask that it be cancelled.


George Eulas Foster: How will that help them?


John Gillanders Turriff: It will let somebody else come in and build. They have no hope or faith that the Canadian Pacific Railway will build the road. This charter has been in existence for twenty-nine years, and the Canadian Pacific Railway have had it for sixteen years. As the people have no hope that the Canadian Pacific Railway will build, they ask that somebody else be given a chance to do so. They a* suffering, and they are the people whose voice should be heard, and not the voice of the railway company. That is what it comes down to. Let the people themselves judge whether they want the charter or not; they are the ones who will suffer, if, by cancelling this charter, the road is not built. And they ask that that be done. For once, let us do what the people along the line ask should be done.


Mr. SPROULE.: If we do what the hon, member (Air. Turriff) asks the House to do, the result would be absolutely absurd It would Tepeal the charter under which a road has been built, and is being operated.
Air. TURRIFF I stated that there was a mix-up, and that all that was wanted was to cancel the motion as relating to that part from Sheho to Prince Albert, but not the whole line from Yorkton to Prince Albert.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: That is not the amendment. Its effect would be to cancel the whole line. I see by the Canadian Pacific Railway report that a portion of the line has been built. The Alanitoba North Western from Portage la Prairie to Yorkton, 229-9 miles has been built. From Yorkton to. Sheho, 42-2 miles, has been built. If this amendment passes, it would repeal the Act which gave authority to build that line and run it. The hon. member must see how absurd this amendment would be if carried. I see it stated here also that the line from Sheho to Lanigan is under construction, 82-8 miles. Part of the road has been built and running for years, and we are asked to repeal the law under which it is operated. It must be obvious that that is something that cannot be entertained.


John Gillanders Turriff: It is an easy matter to change the wording to make it apply only to that portion of the line for which they are asking a renewal, from Sheho to Prince Albert.


Mr. J. A. CURRIE.: The hon. member (Mr. Turriff) has spoken of the people wishing to have this charter not renewed. Have the people petitioned this House to that

effect? Another question: Is there a bunch ol capitalists standing by Teady to build this road if the Canadian Pacific Railway loses this charter? These are important questions. It is all right enough to make a great talk before the committee for the benefit of the people, to talk about ' the wishes of the people,' and so on, but the fact remains that no independent company, no company outside the Canadian Northern, the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Grand Trunk Pacific has built ten miles of road in that western country in the last ten years. If the big concerns desire to build twenty lines into Prince Albert or any other place, why should this House stand in the way? The*Minister of Railways (Mr. Graham) in discussing the National Transcontinental-the government part of the line -and the government policy in relation to the building of roads, declared that it was a competitive policy, not a pioneer policy. Prom the standpoint of competition, it would be advisable for Prince Albert to have several roads. I quite approve of the stand taken by the hon. member for East Grey (Mr. Sproule) that the amendment is irregular. In addition I do not think that it is in the interest of the people of the west that any charter held by a bona fide railway building company should be struck out.


John Gillanders Turriff: Let the people of the west judge.


John Allister Currie: I ask the hon. member for Humboldt, or yourself, whether there has been a petition presented to this House against the renewal of this charter.


David Bradley Neely: As far as notice of the intention of the company to apply for a renewal of the charter is concerns, frequently this notice is very limited, but I have had information that within a few days a very largely signed petition from the farmers all along the line would be forwarded to my hon. friend the Minister of Railways and Canals (Mr. Graham) and to myself protesting against a renewal of the charter unless the Canadian Pacific Railway guarantee to go on and build the road.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: We had better wait until we see what they say.


David Bradley Neely: In so far as this amendment not being in proper form to attain the result I desire is concerned, I have just to say that the clause referred to, in my motion, subsection A of section 9 of chapter 52 of the statutes of 1893, reads as follows:
An extension of the main line from the present terminus thereof at Yorkton, in a northwesterly direction to a point at or near Prince-Albert, on the north bank of the Saskatchewan river.
I am not going to say definitely-hon. gentlemen may say the opposite-that under Mr. J. A. CURRIE.
this charter the line has been extended to Sheho. That may be the case but I have this to say that in so far as using the charter for the purpose for which the charter is intended is concerned, it has not been used in that way from Yorkton to Prince Albert. No line has been built in the direction of Prince Albert from Yorkton. This line has already been extended westward showing what the original object of the Canadian Pacific Railway in so far as they _ have extended the line from Sheho practically to the town of Lanigan. It will be completed to Lanigan before the shipping season commences. The extension from Sheho is an extension in a westerly and not in a northwesterly direction. I do not care under what charter they built this particular line to Sheho; it does not affect the argument at all in favour of the amendment which seeks to cancel the charter that gives them power to build in a northwesterly direction to Prince Albert.


Edward L. Cash: I do not like the members of this House to be misled by statements which must have that result. For instance, the first statement made is that this company do not intend to build this road. I do not know where hon. gentlemen get that information. I cannot get it. I assume that when they are asking for a renewal of this charter they do intend to build within two years.


David Bradley Neely: What assurance can the hon. gentleman give?


Edward L. Cash: The assurance that they are not asking for a renewal of this charter without a purpose. My hon. friend from Humboldt (Mr. Neely) states that the road has been built from Yorkton to Sheho in a westerly direction. That line runs in the direction of Prince Albert. Sheho is northwest _sf Yorkton. I forget the township although I ought to know because it is in my own constituency. The line runs in the direction of Prince Albert and the survey has been extended in as nearly a' direct line to Prince Albert as it would be possible to obtain. The hon. member for Assiniboia (Mr. Turriff) tries to make this committee believe that they have built to Sheho, but that this carries them west and that they are seeking authority to build their line from Lanigan. That is misleading. Lanigan is in another direction. It is on the Kirkella branch. When this railway got to Sheho it wanted to connect with the Kirkella branch so as to be on the main line to Edmonton. Therefore, they have built something like 50 miles of this line from Sheho to Lanigan.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: 82 miles.


Edward L. Cash: They have built that distance to Wynward. They have graded the line to Sheho. To show that it is not their intention to run the main line to Lanigan I may state that they have graded the line part of the way to Fishing lake. They turn off af few miles from Sheho and then go west. I think there was some condition that they should build so much of each line each year. I imagine that their principal object in asking for this renewal at the present time is that they may complete the forty or fifty miles that they have already built of their western line towards Prince Albert. I see no reason why this renewal should not be granted. It seems to me that some hon. gentlemen have taken a great objection to the Canadian Pacific Railway because it is that particular line, not giving sufficient consideration to the fact that the people living in this neighbourhood are desirous of obtaining railway facilities. If they are desirous of obtaining railway facilities they can get this line quicker by having the Canadian Pacific Railway construct it than by having it constructed by a private company. It would take a private company a year to get their charter and we know that it is seldom that railway companies are able to go to work immediately after they get their charter. The result is that two years might elapse before actual operations are commenced.


Thomas Chisholm: We have heard considerable to-day about the influence of the railway and the influence of the people. I would just say that this appears to me very much like an effort on the part, not of the Canadian Pacific Railway, but of some other railway to keep the Canadian Pacific Railway out of Prince Albert. We found the same influence working against the wishes of the people in the construction of a branch line from Lanigan to Prince Albert. We know that it also has worked against the construction of other branch lines. We know that it is also the same influence which has been continuously working against the building of a line to Prince Albert on other occasions, but what we and the people wish to see in that western country is competition. That is what the people of the west, one and all, want. I would say that it is not 30, or 40 or 50 miles of this road that have been built but over 200 miles.
Mr. SPRt)ULE. 293 miles.


Thomas Chisholm: From Portage la Prairie I think it has been built?


Thomas Simpson Sproule: Yes.


Thomas Chisholm: And what has been built is directly in line between York-ton and Prince Albert; so that, instead of using the line running by way of Fishing
lake and Lanigan, they have built a branch line from Fishing lake to Lanigan and in that way they have shown themselves entitled to more consideration and respect. They have finished nearly 82 miles of the branch lines from a little north of Sheho to Lanigan and while they have built a line to Lanigan they expect to build the other branch. They have pretty, nearly completed the branch line from Sheho to Lanigan, and they are now preparing to build the main line directly to Prince Albert. We must remember that Lanigan is 82 miles out of the way, and that the traffic of Prince Albert will be compelled to go 82 miles out of the way for all time if the construction of this line is prevented. Eighty-two miles in that country is a great distance and there is a large section of country adjacent to Lake Leonore that would be benefited by the construction of this branch line. During all the years I have been in this House I have never beard of a railway company that had built so many miles of railway or which had proceeded with the construction of its line in the same manner as this has been proceeded with and, having constructed 82 miles of a branch line covered by another and recently granted charter, and then having the charter for its partly constructed main line refused a renewal. It is perfectly absurd to say that they do not intend to proceed and complete the road, therefore the extension of their charter should certainly be granted, and the absurdity appears still stronger when I see the careless way in which the amendment has been drawn up, so careless indeed that even the'mover of the amendment has to admit that it does not say what he really meant it should say. I am surprised that a man living in the west, and living at Humboldt at that, should come here and know so little about his own country.


Mr. NESBITT.: I would point out to hen. gentleman that the Railway Committee has laid down the principle this year, that they would not oppose the granting of such charters as this, and the Minister of Railways has himself emphatically stated two or three times in the House that such is the policy of parliament. I do not see how the members of the west are going to benefit their people by refusing to extend these charters. If I thought it would benefit the people I would vote in favour of it, because I have great sympathy with the people in the west who are badly in need of railway facilities in some districts. I have not the least doubt in the world that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company will build this line of railway and other lines similarly situated just as soon as they are able, and when this particular branch line is built it will be operated in connection with one of the largest and best managed railways in the world and

will afford every facility to the people, and I do not agree with the contention that the existence of this charter stops other people from getting charters, because I have not the slightest doubt that if any other company wants to build a railway over this route they can apply to parliament tomorrow and they will get a charter, probably	whether they	intend to	build	or not.This	is a prairie	country,	there	are nopasses to go through, there is room for any number of roads, and there is no blocking nr blanketing. I think the hon. gentlemen from	the Northwest who	have	spoken
against this Bill are standing in their own light.


William Windfield Rutan: I would point out to the hon. gentleman that this is not a prairie country, but on the contrary there are many hills	which the	railways	have	to go
through. I also want to tell hon. gentlemen on both sides of the House that there are many petitions from Prince Albert and from the people living in that section of the country opposing this charter. They have good reason to believe that the Canadian Pacific Kailway are not sincere in their intention to build. The people in that country believe that if this charter were out of the way they could deal with other people and get a line of railroad built quicker than the Canadian Pacific Railway would build it.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: Does the hon. gentleman seriously believe that any company would build a little bit of a road like that ieading no where and commencing practically nowhere?	[DOT]


William Windfield Rutan: My experience both in the United States and in Canada 'is that many short lines of railroad have been built through new country, and although of course thev were afterwards devoured by the other companies, yet they afforded means of transportation to the settlers and relieved them from the disabilities under which they laboured. We cannot raise grain profitably and haul it 40 or 50 miles to a railroad; we must have railway transportation facilities or our land is of no value to us. I am entirely opposed to placing in the hands of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the Canadian Northern Railway, or the Grank Trunk Pacific either, the monopoly of building railways throughout that country, a monopoly which we practically give them if we allow them to blanket the country with charters, and come here year after year asking for extensions of time. It may be all right to have free trade in railway charters when you are granting new charters, but when you come to these renewals it is an entirely different thing. Now, I object to this system of the railway company including in one Bill legislation for the renewal of several charters. The Minister of Railways has Mr. NESBITT.
distinctly stated that we should deal with these charters each on its own merits, but so long as the railway companies jumble the whole thing up into one Bill for the purpose of misleading the people of the country it is impossible to treat each on its own merits. There are several branch lines included in this one Bill, and while it may be fair in the case of some of them to grant an extension of time, in other cases it undoubtedly should not be granted. We have the right to know now whether the Canadian Pacific Railway are ready to build this road or whether they simply intend to get an extension of time now and to come back a few years hence for a further extension. There has been settlement in that part of the province of Saskatchewan as long as in any other part of the province, and we have a right to expect that we. should have railway facilities. We know that it is the nolicy of the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Canadian Northern Railway to divert settlement from one section of the country and to scatter it in other sections so that they may have the benefit of the long haul on the freight in and out, and that is no doubt a natural thing for a railway company to do in its own interest, but we certainly should not allow these railway companies to blanket the country with charters so as to prevent other roads from coming in there. Prince Albert needs another railway and Lake Leonore country wants a railway badly. People have been settled in there for five or six years; there is a large colony of French people who have settled there in the expectation that they were going to get a railway. They nave gone through a great deal of hardship, they have obtained accommodation until they were able to get their patents and they now want to relieve themselves of their obligations. Every gentleman in this House knows that if you have 169 acres of land twenty-five miles from a railway, even though it is the best land in the world, you cannot get a loan company to help you. I have been trying personally for the past few years to help some of these poor people. If I had the money myself I would be willing to lend it because I know the time will come when they will have a railway in there and then they will be able to meet their obligations, but you cannot get a loan company to take chances on that. There are people in some sections of that country who have been settled ten or fifteen years there and who are miles away from a railway and they would like now to experience some of the comforts of life. They do not want the road for their grandchildren, they wish to see it during their lives they would like to see the amendement; carry and this company who have shown no evidence of intention to build, should get out of the way and let

some other road have a chance to set in there.


John Allister Currie: I presume from the way the hon. gentleman has spoken that he does not desire either the Manitoba and Northwestern or the Canadian Pacific Railway to build this road at all.
42 miles of that line has been built and is already in operation. To cancel the charter would cancel their power of operation of these 42 miles and might get somebody into serious trouble. I do not think the House intends to do this, and I trust the committee will vote down the amendment.


William Windfield Rutan: It does not make one bit of difference to me who builds the road so long as we get it built.


John Allister Currie: Then why do you not approve of this charter?
. Mr. RUTAN. Because it has been in existence for 16 years under the Canadian Pacific Railway and we are no nearer getting it built that we were 16 years ago. I would say further that when this matter came before me and I had to investigate it to see if the Canadian Pacific Railway intended building into Prince Albert this year, I was plainly told by the man who knows that they were not going to build any of it this year, that their plans were all made. I asked whether they would build in another year and he said he could not say that, he might not be here and he did not want to say anything that would bind his successors.


David Henderson: 
Mr. TALBOT.: I am not in the habit of interfering with any legislation affecting any part of the country which is better known to other hon. members than it is to myself. There is no doubt that the hon. members for Assiniboia (Mr. Turriff), Prince Albert (Mr. Rutan) and Humboldt (Mr. Neely) have voiced the disappointment of their people, because they have been disappointed through not having the railway constructed before now; but I ask them if their arguments are of any weight to affect the judgment of this House? Have they any proof or guarantee that should the House not grant this extension of time, any company or individuals would build the road? Would it not be worse for their people if- we should torpid the Canadian Pacific Railway to build there? No private corporation will build in that country in opposition to the great companies now operating there, and I think it would be far better for these people if we should grant the extension and allow the Canadian Pacific Railway to build the road. The Canadian Pacific Railway has no interest in preventing the settlers from getting transportation.


Wilfrid Laurier: I am sorry the Minister of Railways (Mr. Graham) is not in his seat this afternoon because the motion made by the hon member for Hum-bolt (Mr. Neely) deserves some answer from him. I know the views he entertains on that question and I can state them. All the considerations involved in the Bill and the amendment of my hon. friend have been, as I understand, discussed and considered by the Railway Committee, and while it is not an absolute rule it is a rule I think of great convenience and safety that when a matter of this kind has been considered by the Railway Committee the judgment of the the Railway Committee should be accepted, unless there be some very strong reason to the contrary. The only reason which has impressed me to-day is that advanced by the hon. member for Assiniboia (Mr. Turriff) that we should consult and abide by the wishes of the people in a matter of this kind. But what are the wishes of the people? There is a serious discrepancy as to that. Two of my friends on this side of the House state that the wishes of the people are against an extension of this charter, and on the other hand my hon. friend from Mackenzie (Mr. Cash) who is as much interested in this matter as any one else and who ought to know the country and the circumstances is strongly in favour of this extension. The argument made by my hon. friend

from Humboldt (Mr. Neely), supported by my hon. friend from Prince Albert (Mr. Rutan), is that the Canadian Pacific Railway have been remiss in the duty imposed on them by a charter as far back as 1883, and have not done anything. What is the reason? The reason is that to-day the western provinces are developing so rapidly that it is not possible to keep abreast of the demand for railways. At this moment if the Canadian Pacific Railway, the Canadian Northern and the Grand Trunk Pacific were to undertake the construction of 1,000 miles of railway each during the coming summer they would not meet all the requirements of the people of the country. The demand comes from all quarters for more railways, and if such a strong railway as the Canadian Pacific Railway has not been able up to the present time to meet the demands of the new settlers, is it to be supposed or believed that any other company could have done it? Suppose the Canadian Pacific Railway does not go on with this work? Is it to be supposed that an independent company will be formed and will be ready to undertake the task any sooner than the Canadian Pacific Railway will do it? 1 think not, and I think my hon. friends had better rely on the will of the Canadian Pacific Railway to perform this work. It is to their interest to do so. That section of the country is developing very Tapidly, as has been stated by the hon. member for Prince Albert, and therefore it is to the interest of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company to be able to serve that section of the country as soon as they can, and I think on the whole we had better rely on the judgment of the Railway Committee in this matter.
Amendment (Mr. Neely) negatived; Bill reported, read the third time and passed.



SUPERIOR AND WESTERN ONTARIO RAILWAY.

[Stage Direction]
House in committee on Bill (No. 78) to incorporate the Superior and Western Ontario Railway Company.-Mr. Conmee.
On section 8,
Mr. BOYCE.: What point is this going to connect?


Mr. CONMEE.: They have taken the risk of forestalling the granting of the charter. The line is located and they are actually at work constructing. There are no municipalities there but simply mining and lumber interests. There is no real settlement because there have been no facilities for transportation.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: Under what authority are they constructing? Does the Minister of Railways approve of the plan? they have no charter, yet the hon. gentleman says they have surveyed the line and have begun construction. I have always thought that a company could not begin constructing until the minister approves of its plans.


James Conmee: This is not the only set of promoters who have taken a little risk, there are no engineering difficulties and no interests to be prejudiced. Of course, until they get their plans approved they cannot operate the road.


Mr SPROULE.: But the Railway Act says- they shall not construct at all until their plans are approved of.


Mr. PUGSLEY.: I assume they must be going on as private individuals. If an individual owns the right of way there is nothing to hinder his building a railway. They must be going ahead on their own property, or, if through Crown lands, with the consent of the Ontario government The railway charter is necessary to enable them to expropriate land, but if they own the right of way, there is no reason why they should not build a railway if they wish to do so. Of course, they take the risk of afterwards getting a license from the government to operate, but owners can build a railway over their own land or over right of way that they have acquired from the provincial government.


Arthur Cyril Boyce: Would the minister consider it a proper thing, in the Public Works Department over which he presides for a contractor to proceed with work before a contract was entered into?


William Pugsley: That is a different case.


James Conmee: The' railway is projected from a point on the branch line of the Grand Trunk Pacific, about 200 miles west of Fort William, to the main line of the Transcontinental, about 125 miles. It will connect with Sturgeon lake, which is a mining centre in that locality, by a short line, and there is in the neighbourhood 100 miles of navigation as well as the railway. It is partly graded already. The intention is to hurry the construction so as to meet the requirements of that section.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: How can it be graded when it is not incorporated?


Wilfrid Laurier: 


Arthur Cyril Boyce: I would like the minister to answer the question.


William Pugsley: Certainly I would not consider it proper.


Arthur Cyril Boyce: But the minister does it in connection with a company to which the hon. member for Rainy River (Mr. Conmee) belongs.


William Pugsley: This is a case of a railway-


Arthur Cyril Boyce: I am talking about the public works.


William Pugsley: I think we had better stick to the question.


Arthur Cyril Boyce: I was asking the minister a question in view of his pointed argument in favour of the hon. member's Bill.


James Conmee: They have obtained the right of way from the Ontario government.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: Have they an Ontario charter?
. ^fr- CONMEE. No, but they submitted it to the! Ontario government and pointed out that it was necessary, in their opinion, to have a Dominion charter because of the connections that they were making. But notwithstanding that they did not ask for a provincial charter, the Ontario government not only gave tliern a right of way but gave them a land grant as well.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: A right of way through Ontario land?


James Conmee: These are all Crown lands of Ontario. They got permission there at least, so I am informed. And,
!|1<)Un1 ^*eir company is not incorporated, the Ontario government gave them ai land grant on the strength of their expected incorporation. So, I do not think the House shuold take objection to it. The hon member for Sault Ste. Marie (Mr. Boyce) intimated, as I understood him that I had some interest possibly in this railway I have no interest in it.


Arthur Cyril Boyce: I did not make such a suggestion.	&


James Conmee: Then, I misunderstood


David Henderson: This discloses a very extraordinary state of affairs. ' We understood from the promoter of the Bill that the Ontario government approved of the measure, and, notwithstanding that, their representative appeared before the committee the other day to oppose it. I would like to understand how this conflict of authority comes in.


Arthur Cyril Boyce: In view of the statement "jde by the hon. member for Rainy River (Mr. Conmee) and the extraordinary position he has taken of constructing a road without filing the plans, incorporation powers, restrictions or limitations, and in the absence of the hon. Minister of Railways (Mr. Graham) who certainly ought to be informed about this, and be ready to give us information, I move that the committee rise, report progress and ask leave to sit again, in hope that the minister will be in his place when we take it up.


James Conmee: That is entirely unnecessary.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: The charter is unnecessary, apparently.


James Conmee: No, the whole question was fully discussed in the Railway Committee. I made the same statement there that I made here, that the road was being constructed. These people have taken the risk of going on with construction in advance of the charter. This is not the only road that has been gone on with in that way; I can assure my hon. friend (Mr. Boyce) that many railway companies have gone a little in advance of their charter where there was no possible difficulty to be met with. If there were highways to be considered, or surveys of municipalities, it would be different. This is what might be called a wilderness, except so far as the mining and lumbering to which I have referred are concerned.


Mr. BARR.: We have been opposing these companies because they were not going on with the work, and not likely to do so. But this company seems to be going on. I remember that we had opposite?? to some clauses of this Bill in the "al]^ay Committee from a representative of the Ontario government. But, as the company is to go through and connect with the Grand Trunk Pacific it seems to me that is the reason why it should have a Dominion charter.
On section 9,


Mr. A. C. MACDONELL.: I understood from the promoter of the Bill, both here and in the Railway Committee, that this was a charter for a railway company. Apparently it is a charter'for a company very different-it is really a power company, and, under the provisions of this section, a most extraordinary power company.


James Conmee: 
Angus Claude Macdonell: I do not know whether this is the standard clause or not, nor do I care very much. This is a clause to permit the company to acquire power, and there is no limitation or restriction as

to the manner of acquiring that power, whether by generation or by taking over existing powers. There is no limitation to the localities in which it is to be acquired. It seems to me the committee^ is entitled to a very much fuller explanation of the objects of the company and its powers than is contained in the clause just read. In the first place, it is undoubtedly a power clause, and, in the opinion of many hon. members of this House, it is entirely within the control of the provincial legislature. The hon. gentleman who moves this Bill has more than once taken that stand in this House. I ask the hon. gentleman to explain what he means, what he proposes to do by the power clause, and what restriction he proposes to put upon the company with regard to generating that power, with regard to distance, and locality, and so on.


James Conmee: The clause is the usual clause that is inserted in nearly all the Railway Bills that are passed in' this House, there is no difference. It is a clause that is approved by the Railway Committee and by the Minister of Railways, and it has appeared I think in the majority of Bills. It is not giving to the company the general powers of a power company, it gives them power to expend their money as a corporate body for the purpose of acquiring water-power or generating electricity for the operation of their road; that is all.


Angus Claude Macdonell: There is power there to dispose of the surplus.


James Conmee: If they have more than they require for their own use, they may dispose of it. But that does hot constitute this company a power company instead of a Tailway company.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: What would prevent it, as the Bill stands ?


James Conmee: What would prevent it in the other Bills ? This provision does not move this company out from under the general law of the province or of the Dominion. How are they going to become a power company ? They are subject to all the restrictions and conditions of the provincial law. They have got to acquire the water-power; this Bill does not empower them to take water from any particular place.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: It allows them to do it everywhere.


James Conmee: Not at all, only for the operation of their road. At the present time power is merely an incidental.


William Pugsley: They have no power of expropriation.


James Conmee: They have got to show that they want it for their Toad, that is Mr. MACDONELL.
the first thing. But incidentally if they have more than they want, who wishes to prevent them from selling it ?


Arthur Cyril Boyce: 
James Conmee: It is not in the Bill, but I want to ask the hon. member why should it be in the Bill? Is it in any other Bill? There is no power under this Bill to expropriate a water-power, they have the power of the Railway Act for the pnrpose of constructing their railway only. This clause has been adopted in other Bills, why object to it in this case? If there is any Bill I know of that has passed this House in recent yeaTS where such a power ought to be given, it should be given to a road of this character that is being built in an absolutely new country, entirely unsettled, and unoccupied except by mines, lumbering and construction.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: Suppose that a waterpower had been developed so as to generate electricity and they acquired control oyer it, would they not then have control over it?


James Conmee: If a company owned a water-power and developed it, and obtained it from either the Dominion or provincial authority, that company would be bound by the conditions under which they obtained the power to develop it, and if this company acquired it they would be bound by the same conditions. I know of nothing that would prevent a company from selling a water-power. But that is not the point in this Bill, the point is, does this give power to expropriate and take it without consent of the owner ?


John Dowsley Reid: Does this railway cross the Nipigon river ?


James Conmee: No, it is about 200 miles west of the Nipigon river.


John Dowsley Reid: What river does it cross ?


James Conmee: I do not think it crosses any river, it runs along what is called the English river for a portion of the way which, is I believe in some sections of its course an interprovincial boundary between the province and the district of Kee-watin.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: I think the hon. gentleman is promoting his Bill very cleverly, but I cannot adopt his view that because the Bill is silent as to the right to expropriate that therefore they could not expropriate. Why, they could not expropriate for railway purposes according to his argument. The Bill itself does not give him the right to expropriate. They can go on and construct and operate a railway, but not a

word about expropriation. The hon. gentleman will not admit that he cannot expropriate for railway purposes under the Railway Act. And they go on and say that for the purpose of the undertaking they may also acquire these water-powers.


James Conmee: This company has not got specific powers of expropriation in the Bill, but they have them under the Railway Act. Then they are thrown back on the Railway Act, and how could my hon. friend argue that the Railway Act gave this company power to expropriate a water-power ?


Edward Arthur Lancaster: I did not say they could, but I say it could be well argued before a court that inasmuch as the special Act gave them the right to acquire these water-powers and that the Railway Act applies to it, they would have the same right-whether by expropriation or by private purchase, in regard to the one matter as to the other. If they are going to take water-powers by expropriation when people are not willing to sell them, they will be causing a great deal of trouble. Even if it was limited to the purposes of the undertaking, I think the point is just the same. 'Fot the purpose of the undertaking' means for the purpose of carrying on everything that is authorized by this charter. Then without the words of limitation that you cannot expropriate, certainly when you say you want the water-power for the purpose of using and working the railway, you can at once use every right of expropriation that you could for the other purposes of the undertaking.


William Pugsley: I cannot think upon reflection that my hon. friend (Mr. Lancaster) will adhere to the view which he has just expressed. There is no power contained in this Bill to expropriate land. As far as the railway is concerned, the Railway Act would apply. Then, we have to look to the Railway Act to see what are the powers of expropriation which are there given and they are to expropriate a right for the railway of, I think, not exceeding six rods in width and what is necessary for station purposes. That is the only land which can be expropriated under the Railway Act.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: That is to say that they do not have this power but practically we declare in this charter that they may do these other things for the purpose of this undertaking. The special Act extends the Railway Act and makes it apply to the very things in question.


William Pugsley: If this Act contained a clause saying that the provision of the Railway Act should apply to all properties that the company might* desire to acquire for the purposes of the undertaking.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: Is not that so ?


William Pugsley: No, it is not, because all this Act does is to give to the company the power to acquire land; that is to acquire it in the ordinary legal way by agreement with the people who- happen to own it. The company is not given power to take land without the consent of the party who owns it. The only power of expropriation which exists is the power which is contained in the Railway Act and that is limited to six rods in width for the right of way and such lands as may be necessary for station purposes. If a water-power happened to be within the right of way or within the six rods, of course, it might be acquired by expropriation.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: That is exactly where the acuteness of the company would cause them to operate. If they should say: We will put this line of railway within the 90 or 100 feet belt that we are allowed to-expropriate and thereby take in a water-power, under the Bill they could do it.


William Pugsley: They might do that.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: Exactly; and yet it stated distinctly that they are not going to expropriate water-powers.


John Dowsley Reid: I would like to ask the -hon. gentleman who has charge of this Bill why they want water-powers to operate this railwav. When the Bill was before the Railway Committee the understanding was that this was to be a railway operated by steam entirely. Now we all know that if there are any water-powers in the district between the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Grand Trunk Pacific they are all entirely within the control of the Ontario government, and if this clause is allowed to remain in, such a thing might occur as my hon. friend from Lincoln (Mr. I.ancaster) has just stated. They might run this railway 20 or 30 miles along one of these rivers, expropriate a water-power and the Ontario government could not interfere. If that is the object of the Bill we certainly must have a different impression of it than that which was sought to be conveyed in the Railway Committee. When it was stated that the usual standard clause as far as water-powers are concerned was to be put into the Bill nobody ever thought it meant what has been suggested here today. I was in favour of the Bill and am nowr in favour of the granting of a charter by this parliament provided it does not mean practically taking all the water-powers in that district and locking them up. I do not see why the clause referring to water-powers should not be dropped. We were assured in the Railway Committee that this was a railway to be constructed from



the Canadian Pacific Railway to the Grand Trunk Pacific and that it was to be a steam railway throughout its whole length. With reference to the clause dealing with boats and docks, it was mentioned by the hon. gentleman in charge of the Bill that-they might want to run boats on the lakes and take people to summer resorts. There was no objection to that. But it seems to me, from the discussion which has taken place, that there is another object altogether behind this Bill. I think it would be better to refer the Bill back to the Railway Committee and let us get it thoroughly threshed out there rather than to try to push it through here to-day in its present form and containing a clause the effect of which we may not be able at the present time to fully appreciate.


John Gillanders Turriff: This is the same clause that we have put in practically every railway charter.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: No.


John Gillanders Turriff: Most of them. This clause has appeared in most of the charters that have passed through the Railway Committee during the present and previous sessions. The fact that this is a steam railway should not prevent the company at some future time, if it found it advisable to run their trains by electricity, from adopting that motive power. The Canadian Pacific Railway is a steam railway and at the present time the management have under consideration the electrifying of certain portions of the line. I do not think my hon. friends need be alarmed about the power of expropriation where it only extends to a strip of land six rods wide. Any one knows that they could not have a waterpower and a railway working together on a right of way of that width.


John Dowsley Reid: How would it be crossing the Tiver.


John Gillanders Turriff: It might be possible, but I do not think it would be. Railways do not want a water-power right at a bridge where they cross, because there is always the danger of the dam going out and taking away the railway bridge. The clause is one which we have put in before, and I do not see any reason why this particular Bill should be picked out or why the same provisions should not be given to this company as are given to others.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: Will the hon. gentleman name any charter that has passed this House within the last two or three years containing a clause such as this? I do not know of any, and I am a pretty regular attendant at the Railway Committee. I never saw such a clause as that in a Steam Railway Bill in my life.


John Dowsley Reid: 


James Conmee: When this Bill was before the Railway Committee the clause dealing with water-powers was withdrawn and the model clause which the Railway Committee have accepted with regard to water-powers was inserted in lieu of it. This is the model clause.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: What does the hon. gentleman mean by the model clause? I am afraid he is dignifying this with a name that it is not entitled to.


James Conmee: That is what it was called by the chairman and it was inserted. My hon. friend is borrowing trouble when he imagines that the railway company might run its line purposely to get a water-power. I wonder if the Railway Board or the Minister of Railways would ratify the plans of a railway company that would try a trick like that?


Edward Arthur Lancaster: They might not know it.
M" CONMEE. They would know it. It would be plain because it would require 60 or 100 acres to enable any person to operate a water-power. It would be absolutely useless in the charter. It is only borrowing trouble; it is a suspicion without any foundation.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: I am afraid I am not borrowing trouble. I wish I were because I do not want to keep this discussion up unnecessarily. This clause says that this power shall be exercised subject to section 247 of the Railway Act. That strengthens my argument and strengthens the contention o.f my hon. friend from Grenville (Mr. Reid). The Railway Act is brought in and then this special Act is brought in and it provides that this power can be exercised provided it does not interfere with section 247 of the Railway Act. It may be held that as long as it does not conflict with section 247 of the Railway Act the provi sions of the Railway Act are complied with.
Section 247 presupposes that these rights will be purchased, and it simply restricts them from using them on the highways without the consent of the municipalities. Then, if the municipalities cannot agree with the company, the Railway Board decides upon what conditions these rights are to be acquired. How can my hon. friend contend that it is quite sure they cannot expropriate. My point is that this charter is made subject to section 247 only, and 247 provides that you must not put your lines and poles along the highway without the consent of the municipality, and if the municipality does not consent you have to go to the board, who can order in what manner the wires shall be placed.


William Pugsley: By section 3 of the Act passed last year respecting the Edmonton Dunvegan and British Columbia Railway

even broader power is given than is contained in this Bill.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: But that Act does not say that the company is subject to section 247 of the Railway Act. It does seem to me that the hon. gentleman (Mr. Con-mee) is in this Bill getting much more than he wants.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: Oh no, he could not.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: The hon. gentleman tells us that he does not want expropriation powers and I have to accept his word. If the hon. gentleman does not want power to expropriate it is very easy to insert words excluding that power.


William Pugsley: In the Edmonton, Yukon and Pacific Railway Act, also passed last year, there are still broader powers given to acquire for the purpose of developing electricity.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: All that shows that this is not a model Bill.


William Pugsley: It might be called a *modest Bill.


John Gillanders Turriff: In Bill (No. 11) passed this session respecting the Canadian Western Railway Company, there is a clause subjecting it to the provisions of 247 of the Railway Act, as to the charges which may be made for electricity, &c., and the Board of Railway Commissioners have the power to decide.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: Did that Bill pass as the hon. gentleman has read it?


John Gillanders Turriff: I think there was no change whatever made in that Bill.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: Why is it that the Bill referred to by the hon. gentleman (Mr. Turriff) subjects that company to the provisions of section 247 of the Railway Act, while the Bill mentioned by the Minister of Public Works does not?


William Pugsley: The Bills I refer to were passed last session.


James Conmee: It is because of amendments to the Railway Act which gives the board powers they did not have before. It is a further protection for the public; that is all.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: It is all right to say it is a further protection to the public, but when you make this company subject to one specific clause of the Railway Act, any court will decide that you have not restricted it in any other way than in re spect to whatever restrictions may be in that particular clause. Under section 247 the board may order that the wires shall be placed in a certain way for the protection of the people, and that being so you cannot work out section 247 unless you do give them power to expropriate under eer-125i
tain conditions to be decided by the board. If this House is of opinion they should have power to expropriate that is one thing, but if we are deciding they should not' have power to expropriate then the Bill should say so.


Mr. McKENZIE.: At one time the law was that unless a company were restricted down to certain things they could do anything which they were not prevented specifically from doing in their charter. If it were fairly within the bounds of their charter the courts held they could do that thing whatever it was, if it could be said to be akin to their business. But that is not the law to-day and that has not been the law for the past ten years. The law i3 now that before a company can do any specific thing it must be set forth in its charter.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: It says so in this charter.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: There is nothing in this charter so far as I can see that specifically gives this company the right to expropriate.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: It says they may acquire.
Mr McKENZIE That is not expropriation. I should judge from the manner in which my hon friend (Mr Lancaster) discusses questions in this House that he is a good lawyer and he knows that there is nothing by inference to be decided in favour of a corporation. There is no intendment in their favour at all. The power must be defined in clear language, and particularly a power so drastic as expropriation. They cannot by inference, or by reading half a dozen Acts together patch up a case for expropriation. The power must be given specifically, and if it is not given specifically the court will decide it was not intended they should have it.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: It is not a matter of inference, it Ks a matter of the gentleman opposing the Bill thinking there is a limitation that is not expressed in the Bill that the railway company 'may acqu'ire.' I contend that there is no limit in the way of acquiring, it is not a matter of inference but a direct statement that ^ they can acquire whatever any other railway company can acquire.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: That is what I said. The Railway Act is construed by the courts in the light of its purpose and will not be strained by them to give any corporation the right to get water-power which, as a rule, is not used ,in connection with railways. From my knowledge of corporation law and the common law generally I do not think there is need to be alarmed. This provision has been inserted lin several other Bills. I do not think an argument in

favour of expropriation of water-power could be based under this Bill.


Angus Claude Macdonell: The point I desire to make is with regard to the power th'is company is seeking to acquire in connection with the generation and sale of electricity. I asked the promoter to explain that and he explained it partly. I am not opposing the Bill as a railway Bill, I desire to he perfectly fair, but I am opposing it inasmuch as it is a power Bill. The promoter says that the Bill as it stands now would make the company subject to the general legislation of the province of Ontario regarding electric companies generating and selling and dealing in electric power and fluid. I differ from the hon. member principally because of section 2, which declares th'is work to be one for the general advantage of Canada which, as my hon. friend knows, brings it by the force of the British North America Act directly under the control and legislation of the Dominion parliament, so that it would pass av/ay from the control and jurisdiction of the provincial parliament. That is to my mind the effect of this Bill, it will be freed entirely from the effect of the general legislation of the province of Ontario regarding electric companies. It would also be freed from the general legislation of the province regarding railway companies, because the undertaking is declared to be for the general advantage of Canada. It thereupon ceases to be a provincial undertaking. My hon. friend says that as the Bill is worded the company would still be under provincial control. If he will submit to an amendment simply declaring that it is subject to the general legislation of Ontario regarding electric power companies, the Bill might pass. Several other Bills have that clause.


James Conmee: What Bill has that clause in?


Angus Claude Macdonell: A number of railway Bills. The charter for running the railway in this city has that clause. Such an amendment would remove the objection of my hon. friend from Lincoln (Mr. Lancaster).


James Conmee: That is an electric railway.


Angus Claude Macdonell: Because the general legislation of Ontario regarding electric companies provides safeguards regarding expropriation for electric purposes.


James Conmee: My statement was that this company would be subject to any general law of the province or of the Dominion affecting its works.


Angus Claude Macdonell: What objection is there to putting in a clause to that effect?
Mr. McKenzie.


James Conmee: There is a great deal of objection to putting in a clause to that effect. There is this objecion that it is unfair to put burdens upon this company and surround it with legislation different from that applying to other companies.


Angus Claude Macdonell: Why?


James Conmee: Simply because this company are here within their rights asking for certain _ legislation. If it is the general rule of this parliament to give general powers, why insert such a restriction in this Bill?


Arthur Cyril Boyce: The hon. member says there is no power of expropriation; then why not specify it?


James Conmee: *You might say why do you not do many things. The general law of this province will apply to this company, and its acts just as to any other company. The declaration that it is for the general advantage of Canada will only affect it so far as it is a railway. The moment the company go outside of their railway work and establish workshops, the general Factory Act of the province, for instance, will apply.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: Oh, no; oh, no.


James Conmee: Oh. yes; oh, yes.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: By declaring it to be for the general advantage of Canada you remove it from provincial control.


James Conmee: Not at all.


Arthur Cyril Boyce: Does the hon. gentleman think that by statute from this government he can get water-power?


James Conmee: Certainly, I think this is the only government that can grant powers in certain cases. I do not know anything about the water-power that this company have in view, I do not know if there is any. The Act to incorporate the Vancouver Island and Eastern Railway Company passed last session containing exactly the same clause, word for word.


John Allister Currie: The hon. gentleman states that there will be no expropriation powers as far as water-powers and electric development are concerned, that that will apply only to the railway. I would suggest as a solution of the difficulty that the word ' Tailway ' be inserted in clause 2 so that it will read:
The railway undertaking of the company is declared to be a work for the general advantages of Canada.
That will settle all the trouble and the Bill could go through.


James Conmee: That may be a very reasonable proposition, but I am only the member to whom this Bill has been referred and I would not undertake to make any changes

in it; it is for the promoters to advise me through their solicitors and so far as I am concerned I would not agree to any amendment.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: It is not quite for the promoters and their solicitor to say what legislation we shall pass. We are here to pass legislation in the interests of the people. I think the suggestion of the hon. member for South Toronto (Mr. Macdonell) is most reasonable; it would carry out what we all intend. But I want to settle with the hon. member for Rainy River (Mr. Conmee) this question. I want to understand whether he means that the whole of the undertaking will not be for the general advantage of Canada if this Bill passes. Does he really believe that the water-powers will be in any different position from the railway when the whole Bill is declared for the general advantage of Canada.


James Conmee: There is no power under this Bill by which this company could expropriate a water-power. As to the question whether its particular works, after they are established, in so far as they relate to its actual undertaking, might be somewhat removed from provincial legislation or not, I am not prepared to say because I do not profess to have any information on that point.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: What harm will be done by putting in a clause, such as suggested by the hon. member for South Toronto, to the effect that the provincial laws shall apply to the regulation and expropriation of these water-powers ?


James Conmee: I would not agree to that.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: Then the hon. gentleman means to override provincial legislation ?


James Conmee: No, but I would not agree because that would prohibit the company taking a water-power which would be on an international or a navigable stream. I do not propose to have the hands of the company tied up by any such a condition.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: We must not tie our own hands by giving to the company what they should not have. Between now and eight o'clock the hon. gentleman had better consider that.
At six o'clock, committee took recess.
After Recess.
Committee resumed at eight o'clock.


Angus Claude Macdonell: Before we rose at six o'clock, I asked the promoter of the Bill what reason he had to give for incorporating in a railway Bill power privileges, and especially when as under section 2, all the works of the company are declared to be works for the general advantage of Canada. I can quite understand why this provision bringing the company's works under the control of this parliament should be passed in relation to a railway company of this kind. But here is a purely provincial adjunct inserted in this Bill, here is a clause dealing with a purely provincial matter, and yet this part of the works of the company is also brought under the control of this parliament and removed from the control of the province. The promoter of the Bill, if I understood him aright, said that the sections to which I refer had not the effect I attribute to it. But I refer the hon. gentleman to the well known section 92 of the British North America Act, subsection 10, clause (c). As we all know, section 92 deals with those powers which are exclusively within the control of the provincial legislature. Subsection 10 declares that local works and undertakings other than certain classes enumerated are provincial undertakings. Of these exceptions clause (c) relates to ' such works as, though wholly situate within the province are before, or after execution declared by the parliament of Canada to be for the general advantage of Canada or for the advantage of two or more of the provinces.' By this declaration under the authority of this clause, these works and undertakings of this company are removed from provincial jurisdiction. As the promoter (Mr. Conmee) before recess gave it as his opinion that the works of the company, so far as they related to power distribution are provincial in their character, I think it only fair that he should insert in this Bill a declaration that, so far as these works are concerned, they are excepted from the declaration as to the works of this company being for the general advantage of Canada. Or, as an alternative, let the hon. gentleman make it plain that the law of Ontario relating to electric companies, including the Hydro-Electric Power Commission Act, shall apply to this part of the company's undertakings. Then the hon. gentleman will have the powers he wants, and the others will remain subject to the jurisdiction of the province. Whoever heard of the undertakings of a power company, wholly within one province and purely local in their character, being declared works for the general advantage of Canada? It was stated this afternoon that this power clause is what is called the model power clause. I never heard of a model power clause in any railway company's Bill. I can understand a model power clause in a power Bill. But this is primarily a railway Bill, and I am not aware of any practice in regard to this model clause in the case of such Bills. There is none, so far as this House is aware, and if there is a model clause, it surely does not apply to merely provincial undertakings. I think the promoter should give some better reason than he has given

why these works, purely provincial in their nature, should be declared works for the general advantage of Canada. There is no desire to obstruct this Bill. As a railway company's charter, I quite agree with it. I think this undertaking is a Dominion undertaking, as it connects with the Transatlantic line. But, as a power company Bill, I object to it being brought under Dominion control.


John Gillanders Turriff: I find, on looking over the Bills that have been before the House this session, that the clause giving these same powers have been embodied in Bills Nos. 11, 44, 50, 59 and 62. It is also in Bill 102, which has passed the Railway Committee, but has not yet passed this Committee of the Whole. But these powers have been granted in the Railway Committee, and supported by all those gentlemen who are now opposing this Bill. In all these Bills, the only change that was made was to substitute the model clause for the clause that happened to be in the Bill. I do not know that this power has been refused to any railway company that has asked for it, and I fail to see why this railway company should be selected for refusal of these powers especially when the matter i3 placed under control of the Railway Commission as it is in this Bill.


Angus Claude Macdonell: I have not had time to look up the Bills to which the hon. gentleman refers, but in the first one I look at, which is the last one he mentioned, No. 102, I find-and I suppose, should find it in all the others-the same words that I am now contending for.


James Conmee: That clause wa3 taken out of the Bill in the Railway Committee, for the reason that the minister rather objected to that character of legislation, and in lieu of it was substituted the very same clause that is in this Bill.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: So far as I understand the clause, it does not seem to be very objectionable, but I think it is liable to the very abuses which my hon. friend from Lincoln referred to before six o'clock. Moreover, the hon. gentleman promoting the Bill has a reputation that is so well known, both in this parliament and in another, that though his name is not placarded on the outside of the Bill, we suspect this hon. gentleman's sign manual is to be found somewhere in it. That is what makes every one suspicious of the Bill, and therefore we are obliged to look into it more carefully than we would other Bills.


Some hon. MEMBERS: Order.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: I am merely saying that the sign manual, the astute Chinese nand, i3 to be found somewhere in the Bill. We are consequently doubly suspicious of any Bill which that hon. gentleman introduces Mr. MACDONELL
here, because we fear that there is something occult in it, something that is not disclosed at the first reading. In other respects I do not see anything very objectionable in it.


William Pugsley: I suppose the hon. gentleman feels that the Bill introduced by the member for London (Mr. Beattie), which is in identical words, is all right?


Thomas Simpson Sproule: I was not referring to that at all. I have not read the Bill introduced by the hon. member for London, and the hon. Minister of Public Works is a little too previous, as he usually is. He is attributing to me something that emanates from, I was going to say the evil designs of an evil heart. ' Evil be to him who evil thinks.' So far as this Bill gives the right to construct a railway, and operate a railway and railway property, I am sure that, so far as I can judge the sense of this side of the House, there is no objection to it whatever. But it is because we believe that it is intended to carry the right to take over, or expropriate, or secure control of water-powers that are to-day under the control of the provincial government, and upon which they have announced their policy to the world as one which they desire to carry out in the future-it is because of that danger that we look upon this Bill with suspicion. The hon. member himself says that it is subject to the control of the provincial government, which every parliamentarian knows it cannot be and could not be, by any provision which is in the Bill to-day. I think the hon. member went further and stated that he had the consent of the Ontario government, and their approbation of this Bill. But how can he reconcile that statement with the fact that the Ontario government has sent one of their supporters down here to oppose the Bill. If they were satisfied with it and had given their approval, why should they send a man here to oppose it? That is what increases our suspicion. I think therefore we should try and make this enactment as plain as possible, so that no abuses may develop afterwards.


James Conmee: The hon. member I fhink has told the truth in one respect. Because he happens to see in the Bill the namq of the member who is promoting it, he is suspicious of it.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: That goes a long way, I confess.


James Conmee: They say that open confession is good for the soul, so I suppose my hon. friend is relieved now that he has got that off. Then he says that those who know the hon. member are suspicious of the Bill. Now, he is wrong in that. It is because my hon. friend does not know the hon. member who is promoting the Bill that he is suspicious. I guarantee that he

cannot find any one who does know him, whether he be Liberal or Conservative, who will give him the character that the hon. gentleman would like to impute to him.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: My hon. friend behind me (Mr. Macdonell) sees it in the same way.


James Conmee: Perhaps he is as prejudiced as the hon. member for Grey (Mr. Sproule), and objects to the Bill for the same reason. Now, I did not say that the Ontario government approved of this Bill; what I said was that I was apprised that the Ontario government were giving them the right of way free.


Arthur Cyril Boyce: Did not the hon. gentleman say the Ontario government had approved of this Bill?


James Conmee: No, I did not. As a matter of fact, I think they have approved of it. But what I stated was that they had given it a land bonus, although it was not yet actually chartered, and they did so knowing that the application for a charter was made to this parliament and not to the legislature. They I assume are not prejudiced agaipst this Bill.


Angus Claude Macdonell: Why did they send their representative here to oppose it?


James Conmee: I do not know, but I will give the hon. member my opinion. I think that the legal gentleman who appeared here was not instructed to oppose this Bill particularly. He is here as the representative of Ontario to oppose all Bills that, in his judgment, he thinks conflicts with provincial rights, and he opposed this Bill as he opposed a dozen other Bills, and for no other reason. It is not conceivable that the Ontario government would grant a bonus to a company if they had serious objection to their charter, and they knew the company was getting their charter here.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: When did they grant the bonus, and what did the bonus consist of?


James Conmee: Land. The hon. member will see it reported in the returns and in the press. For this very railway they gave 1,000 acres of land per mile, as I understand the return.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: The Superior and Western?


James Conmee: Yes.


Arthur Cyril Boyce: Could the hon. gentleman say the distance this line is projected?


James Conmee: About 125 miles from the branch to the main line.


Arthur Cyril Boyce: Can he give the House any information about the waterways that lie on the route of the railway?


James Conmee: So far as I have personal knowledge there are no water-powers. I believe they go close to what is known as the English river. It is merely a branch of the Albany river, but whether there are water-powers on the line I do not know. They go to Sturgeon lake and I think in passing north they pass what is known as the English river. I am not sure whether it is the English river or the Albany river which is right close to it at that point which forms the boundary between Ontario and Keewatin, but one or the other does.


Arthur Cyril Boyce: Do I understand the hon. gentleman to say that this road has already been surveyed and that the work is under construction? If so, how much has been surveyed and constructed?


James Conmee: I am not aware of how much has been surveyed but the road has been located to Sturgeon lake and my information is that a portion is under construction. They are grading now.


Arthur Cyril Boyce: How much is under construction?


James Conmee: About seven miles.


Angus Claude Macdonell: Does the hon. gentleman consider that this Bill considers power company clauses? If so, does he consider that this is the proper authority to grant a charter to a power company whose works are entirely within the bord-ersl of a province and in no way touch or affect international or interprovincial waters?


James Conmee: In regard to this being the proper authority to give the powers, that would depend. If the waters affected were interprovincial, or international, or
navigable


Angus Claude Macdonell: I excepted that.


James Conmee: This would be the proper authority. If it were otherwise I would assume that perhaps the legislature would have the control.


Angus Claude Macdonell: Are the waters with which this Bill is concerned interprovincial, international or navigable?


James Conmee: I am not prepared to say that they are interprovincial but I do say that they are navigable as far as I know.


Mr. BLAIN.: I think this matter is of sufficient importance for the hon. Minister of Railways and Canals (Mr. Graham) to give the committee an opinion upon it. I do not wish to be a party to any Bill that would interfere with provincial rights over water-powers. I do not think the Minister

of Railways would consent to the adoption of any such policy by this parliament. I am quite sure that he is conversant with this question and that he will give us his opinion upon the subject.


Mr. GRAHAM.: This Bill was thoroughly discussed in the committee and all these points were raised. They were ^ raised also, in so far as the Bills are identical, against the Bill introduced by the hon. member for London (Mr. Beattie). The clause to which the hon. member for South Toronto (Mr. Macdonell) refers as to water-powers, he will find, I think, in the great majority of the railway Bills by which charters have been given in recent years. There was a clause in the Bill introduced by the hon. member for London, such as the hon. member for South Toronto suggests, but the committee, without any dissenting voice, struck it out and put into the Bills the usual clause that we have put into other railway Bills governing the question of the right to distribute surplus power.


John Dowsley Reid: The same clause as this?


George Perry Graham: The clause we put into the other Bill is the clause we put into this. My hon. friend will remember that we struck out certain clauses and left the clerk to put in what we call' the model clause because that clause was one which was decided upon by the committee, not this session, but on a previous occasion as one which should be introduced into Bills of this character. As to this being for the general advantage of Canada, I do not think it is an extreme view to say that in so far as practicable every railway that does a general business should have a charter granted by this House so as to place it under the control of the Railway Commission and thus secure uniform rates. As to the power of expropriation, this Bill does not give the company any extraordinary rightsvwith regard to water-powers.


George Eulas Foster: Where would they get these powers?


George Perry Graham: They would have to buy them. They cannot expropriate water powers under this Act.
Bill reported, read the third time and passed.

Mr. FOSTER asked:: 1.	Has there been any correspondence between the Premier or Minister of Militia and the Mayor of Toronto looking towards the reclamation by the government of the land held by the Park Blackwell Company, near the old fort in Toronto? If so, is it the intention of the government to reclaim it?
2.	Have the Historic Society and the Army and Navy Veterans Association pressed to have this portion restored?
3.	What is the present situation as regard the possession, restoration, preservation and care of the old fort itself.


Hon. Sir FREDERICK BORDEN (Minister of Militia and Defence):: 1.	(a) Correspondence has passed between the government and the mayor of Toronto looking towards the reclamation by the government of a small parcel of land held by the Park Blackwell Company near the old fort, Toronto.
(b) On June 4, 1898, a parcel of land adjacent to the old fort was conveyed by letters patent to the Park Blackwell Company. Subsequently the company applied to be allowed to straighten the boundary of the land acquired by it and to build a stone wall to prevent the embankment from falling into the company's yard, which permission was granted by letter, dated September 19, 1901. The company was thus given a license of occupation of a corner of the old fort property, which is the piece of land respecting which correspondence has been exchanged with the mayor.
The sale of the Garrison Common property, ! which included the old fort property, to the

city of Toronto was authorized by order in council of May 16, 1904, or two years and seven months after the license of occupation was given to the Park Blackwell Company. Letters patent conveying the Garrison Common property to the city are now being prepared, but the area to be thus vested in the city does not include the small comers occupied by the Park Blackwell Company under the authority of the license of occupation dated September 19, 1901.
2.	Representations have been made by the historic and other societies with a view to reclaiming from the Park Blackwell Company the small parcel of land occupied by them.
3.	It will be a condition in the letters patent that the city shall restore the old fort property as far as possible to its original condition, as per plan, dated Quebec, June 24, 1816, drawn by G. Nicholls, government engineer.

LAND GRANTS TO CIVILIANS.

[Stage Direction]
Mr. AMES-by Mr. Geo. Taylor-asked:
Have representations been made to the government by or on behalf of the Canadian volunteer teachers who, during the South African troubles taught in the concentration camps, for similar consideration as to land grant to that which has been granted the female nurses? If so, what reply did the government give to these representations, and what are the government's intentions in this matter.
Hon.   S@: The Volunteer Bounty Act, 1908, does not make provision for the issue of land warrants to the teachers referred to, or to any person or persons employed in a civil capacity. The nurses referred to in the question ranked as lieutenants in the militia, and the Act specifically provides for the issue of warrants to them.

TERMINAL AND TRANSFER ELEVATORS-GOVERNMENT OPERATION. Mr. F. L. SCHAFFNER (Souris). I beg to move the following resolution which stands in my name:

That in the opinion of this House the present system of operating terminal and transfer elevators is detrimental to the interests of the western gram producers, and that the government should itake immediate steps to operate terminal elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur, and the transfer elevators between those terminals and the Atlantic seaboard
I cannot help saying at once that I feel my inability to present the subject covered by this motion in the manner in which it should be presented; at the same time, I cannot help saying also that I feel honoured in having the opportunity to move a resolution so important as this. Having spent a little time in the study of the subject, I am thoroughly convinced that the grain elevator question is one of the most important to come before this parliament and I am equally convinced that, in a few years, the country will so regard it. We have been all day. talking on transportation questions. I do not say that we have spent too much time. Everybody admits, who has been in this parliament a few years, that the transportation question of necessity and rightly occupies a great deal of the time of the House. This question of grain elevators is so closely allied with the question of transportation that we cannot separate the two, and, when we take up so much time in discussing transportation, our time cannot but be well spent when we discuss the pros and cons-if there are any cons-of this resolution dealing with this vitally important question. Sometimes we are criticised because our resolutions are local or sectional. I do not think that criticism applies to the resolution which I now place before you Mr. Speaker. This resolution affects Canada from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and I for one hope that soon it will affect Canada from Hudson bay to our southern boundary. Let me say at once that I have no desire to make this a party question; I believe it is too big and too far-reaching to be considered in that light. I am confident that, at least so far as the members of the House from the western provinces are concerned, I shall have their sympathetic support regardless of their party affiliations.
This question of grain elevators is one which has agitated the minds of western people for a very long time. I find, in talking the matter over with eastern men, with the men of our financial centres if you like, that they have heretofore failed to grasp the importance of this question of our grain elevators as it affects the producers, and not only as it affects the producers, but also as it affects our financial centres as well.
You will observe that my resolution is confined, so far as its words are concerned, '
to terminal and transfer elevators. But the internal elevators are so closely allied to terminal and transfer elevators, that I hope you, Mr. Speaker, and this House, will not consider me out of order if I incidentally refer to this class that are not specifically mentioned in the resolution. I find-not on the part of western members, but of eastern members,-the lack of a clear definition in their minds of the three sets of elevators to which I have referred. Without occupying unnecessary time, let me give a definition of these three classes. We have, first, our internal grain elevators, scattered all over the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Wherever there is a railway, even a branch railway, the first thing that appears in some places and sometimes the only thing that appears,-I was going to say in a town, but I will say in a settlement is a grain elevator. Before I get through I intend to show though briefly how many of these elevators existed up to 1908. If our point of observation could be high enough, and our range of vision long enough, we could see a very large number of elevators scattered all over the western provinces. These elevators are the buildings in which the farmer deposits his grain from the wagon in which he has hauled it. There are loading platforms, of course, and according to the Act farmers are permitted to load their grain on to cars direct. But, as a rule-and I personally believe it is a legitimate and proper way and most convenient way to handle grain- the grain is put through the 'elevator. The veins of circulation by which this grain is brought to Winnipeg are numerous. After it reaches Winnipeg, there are two great arteries to carry it to the head of the lake. We hope soon to have three. We have the Canadian Pacific Railway, and the Canadian Northern, and I hope from the bottom of my heart-and it cannot be too soon,-we shall have the Grand Trunk Pacific. This will give us three great arteries emptying the grain( from these three provinces into what is called the terminal ele-votors at Port Arthur and Fort William. We have also what are called transfer elevators. After this grain reaches Port Arthur and Fort William and is placed in the terminal elevators, it is either carried by boat to Kingston, Montreal, Goderich or some other port, or it is taken all-rail to St. John. The transfer elevators are the links between the terminal elevators at Port Arthur and Fort William and the Atlantic coast where the grain is shipped to go to the markets of the world. The House can easily see what a complete chain there is in these elevators. And, so far as the producer is concerned, it is absolutely im-

possible to separate these elevators in our argument.
I do not stand here to say that government ownership is to be the great panacea for all alleged grievances in the state today. But I do say that according to the great law of selection, there are industries to which government ownership is applicable, and I believe there is no industry more so than this one of terminal elevators.
I do not minimize for a moment the tremendous difficulties that surround this question, I admit at once there are difficulties that will have to be overcome in connection with the government ownership of these terminal and transfer elevators, but I believe that when this government makes an honest and earnest effort to meet those difficulties, they will find them to be far less formidable than they appear. As to this question of terminal elevators, I am sure that every western man who has been in that country for some time will agree with me that it is a source of great agitation. Having spent about twenty-five years of my active life in the west, and having spent some years before that in the far east, I think I can realize perhaps better than some others how closely the west is connected with the east. I realize tonight, and I have realized many times in this House, how these two sections of our country are mutually dependent on each other. Within the last few days I have heard the remark: Why aTe these men talking all the time about the west? Why, there would not be any west if there were no east. That is quite true. I say that western Canada and eastern Canada are to-day component parts, and interdependent. You have your great financial centres, you have your manufacturing institutions that are absolutely necessary for us in the west. Only the other day an hon. gentleman on the other side of the House, a gentleman whom I very much respect, a gentleman who is engaged in a very large industry, came to me and said: Have you people in the west yet determined the amount of grain that you produced last year?* He said, You have made estimates during the summer, but what I would like to know as a manufacturer is whether you people have as yet realized to its full extent the amount of grain your country will produce?' He said, 'I do not believe you of the west understand how we people in the east are dependent upon your crops. When you have a good crop I can sell my machinery, and I can get my pay for it.' Well, I think that bears out a sentiment which I wish to express, that it is not a question of the west against the east. All the east has to do is to recognize the importance of the west, and especially the importance of this great question of grain elevators, and then there will be a common feeling between us.
Mr. SCHAFFNER.: But some one will say, ' How is it that although this question of government-owned elevators has been so many years a source of agitation, you have never yet reached any conclusion about it. .p,11' the reason to my mind is just this:	The
farmers up to a few years ago had not recognized this great principle of concerted action, they failed to apply the great principle of co-operation in order to get the best results, either for capital or for labour. Had the farmers co-operated, as they might have done, and as other industries in Canada have co-operated, they would not now be in the position in which they find themselves. Let me give one or two examples. Take the manufacturers. Have they been going for the last dozen or twenty years on their own hook, as the individual farmer apparently has been. The manufacturers in each line of business have associations among themselves, but there is one great association comprising them all, called the Manufacturers' Association. What do they do? "What are some of the problems these manufacturers have solved? They have their freight rates, they have their competition. they have the tariff, and many another problem coming before them for solution. But they have adopted concerted action, they co-operate, and are thereby able to meet these problems more successfully. When the Finance Minister of this country talks about changing the tariff, we find the manufacturers getting together, coming down here with delegation after delegation to visit the Minister of Finance and members of the government, and placing before them their propositions they go further. They know that^ people are human, and I have not the slightest doubt in the world that the ministers of this government are just as human as anybody else. The Manufacturers' Association have every year a great banquet to which they invite the Prime Minister and other ministers of the government, and they also invite leading members of the opposition. What is the first thing they do? The first thing they do is. to dine and wine these hon. gentlemen, get them feeling good, and then present their wishes to them all which is absolutely legitimate, _ I am not claiming for a moment that their course is not perfectly legitimate. But the fact remains that the Manufacturers Association recognize what co-operation will do lor them. What do we find in the Railway Committee? What do we find around the*e corridors almost every day of the session? A private member has a railway he wants built or a company has a railway it wants built. You find them, not coming as they formerly did on their own hook, and trusting to providence that their railway scheme will go through as they desire to have it, but they employ the very best lawyers in this country to come and plead for their

undertaking-all of which is perfectly legitimate.
Now apply that method of action to the farmers. I say that the farmers, for some reason or other, have been slow to recognize this principle of co-operation. But I assure you there is not a gentleman here from the west to-night but will hear me out in saying that the farmer is waking up, he is beginning to realize his needs and his power. I would advise this government, as I did the other day, and I would advise the leader of the opposition, that if they want to be in the running they had better pay more attention to what the farmers say and what the farmers are doing than they appear to do at present. In my own constituency of Souris I will guarantee that there are.twenty associations of grain growers. What is true of my constituency I am sure is true of every western constituency. These men seem to he very much in earnest, and all they have to do to get their rights is to go about it in earnest, and tell the government that if they want to get their votes they must give them what they want. The twenty associations in the constituency meet together. They elect delegates to the provincial association. Saskatchewan does the same thing. The association there is under the same name, while in Alberta, although it is practically the same organization, it is called, I think, the farmer's association. But, they are not content with that. They have what they call an interprovincial association which is made up of delegates from the different associations. The one question that has received the most careful consideration of this association during the past three years is the elevator question, not only as affecting internal, but also as affecting terminal and transfer elevators. As far as internal elevators are concerned the question was considered so important by the farmers of Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan that they called upon the premiers to meet them in conference and discuss it. This meeting is rendered still more interesting by the fact that these premiers are not all upon the same side of politics, there being a Conservative government in the province of Manitoba and Liberal governments in the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta. I do not think these premiers, Grit or Tory, were particularly anxious to meet upon this question, but they did. They met because they have begun to feel in that western country that the farmer has to be listened to. They met delegates from the farmers' association. They sat for some time and then, like the wise judge who is not sure of what he is going to do, they reserved judgment. They did not give the farmers an answer at that time. It was not very long, however, before these three premiers gave judgment, and it was adverse to the taking over of the internal elevators. But that did not end it and this I consider
to be an important point. Notwithstanding that these gentlemen did not grant what the farmers of these three provinces asked, the premier of Manitoba and Mr. Rutherford, of Alberta, did not think it well to allow the matter to drop there. They said: We cannot deal with this question, it would be unconstitutional, it is a matter for the Department of Trade and Commerce, it will have to be dealt with by the Dominion government. What did they do? I had Mr. Rutherford's resolution, but I am sorry to say that I cannot lay my hand on it at the moment, but I know that all western men will agree with me when I say that it was absolutely similar to the resolution introduced into the Manitoba legislature. Mr. Roblin thought he had better, make the matter public in that' country because he knew very well that these farmers are not to be put down. Here is the resolution that Mr. Roblin moved in the House within the last four weeks:
Resolved, that a memorial he presented to His Excellency the Governor in Council setting forth that:
Whereas the farmers of Manitoba are dissatisfied with the present arrangements for storing grain at initial points, the elevators being in the hands of the grain dealers;
And whereas, the farmers believe that it would be in their interests and in the interests of the public generally that the initial elevators be publicly owned and controlled;
And whereas, under our constitution the power to control and regulate the storage and handling, of grain, the weights and grades, the power to control and regulate the transportation companies and make the provision for the granting of elevator sites on railways, as well as the distribution of cars and generally all matters relating to the grain trade m Canada, rests in the federal parliament and not in the provinces, as provided in the British North America Act;
Therefore, this assembly begs to call Your Excellency's attention to the desirability of the government of Canada dealing with the initial elevator situation either by (a) making provision for government ownership and operation of the grain elevators in Manitoba-or (b) bv having conferred upon this province, either by Dominion or imperial legislation the power to fully deal with the question of storage transportation and grading of grain.	8
Perhaps the members of this House do not see the same signifiance in this resolution that I do, but I would like to say that practically the same resolution has been introduced into the Alberta House by the First Minister of that province. It is to me an indication of what I have seen coming for some time, and that is that these men think it is proper to get right with the farmers, and they are good politicians for seeing that.
What they are asking for was not only possible but was highly desirable in the interests of the grain growers of this country.

This is what Mr. Roblin says:
No utility or public service that has been taken over by any government and operated by them has been what has been called or is known as a monopoly, a public monopoly, such service as could best secure the convenience of it to the general public when in the form of a monopoly.
One of the excuses which these three premiers gave us was that it was establishing a monopoly. But while they said it was establishing a monopoly it was not very long until they secured the adoption of resolutions asking this government to take over these initial elevators or to give them the power to. take them over. So, their reasoning and theiT conclusion are not very logical.
Under the provisions of the British North America Act it is specially provided that in all matters pertaining to trade and commerce the federal authorities shall be, and are, supreme. The fact that in holding or operating elevators it was requisite to weigh and to inspect grain put the proposition immediately in opposition to that portion of the British North American Act that refers to weights and measures and the inspection of grain. Further, under the general law, transportation companies, such as we have in this western country, are subject also to federal law.
In the event of the Dominion parliament failing to take that position, then the provinces would be justified in assuming functions they did not possess. ... We therefore felt that it is necessary for us, being in full sympathy with the purposes and objects the grain growers have in securing conditions that will secure them the fullest and largest measure of reward for their industry and their labour, to take such action as would indicate the position we have taken in this connection. To this end the government of Alberta, led by the Hon. Mr. Rutherford, introduced a resolution exactly the same as I have on the Order Paper to-day, and it was passed unanimously through. I am submitting it the same way as being part of the arrangement made by the premiers to this legislature for their endorsement. . . . Speaking for the government of Manitoba and the legislature of Manitoba, we are in the fullest accord with every legitimate constitutional movement that may be made to better the conditions of the grain growers in the province, and the actions of this House in the past is evidence of the bona fides of this statement. I therefore move the resolution.
I do not think anything could be clearer, and I think it means a great deal that these three gentlemen who are in close touch with the farmers of that western country consider that this question is one of such importance that it is incumbent upon them to deal with it. They believe that these initial elevators are just as important as the terminal and transfer elevators. I do not need to tell our western men why, because they know all about it, but in order to make my argument as complete a3 I can make it, I would like for a moment Mr. SCHAFFNER.
to state how closely allied all these elevators are and how important they aTe to the farmer. The manufacturer and the railway man have problems to solve, but does any one present to-night imagine that the farmer has _ not greater problems to solve than any other class of our citizens? He has to decide how best to cultivate the soil, and like the manufacturer he has to meet strong competition whether it comes from his own or from a foreign country. True, only the fringe of the western prairie is yet cultivated, and, comparatively speaking, but a little patch of land here and there is under crop, but we grow 200,000,000 bushels of grain in Canada, and when cultivation extends over a larger area that production will be enormously increased. But the Canadian farmer has competition from Russia, which grows 500,000,000 bushels and from India, which grows 300,000,000 bushels, and from Argentine, which grows 200,000,000, and all that grain enters into competition in the British market with the grain grown by the farmers of Canada.
In view of this strenuous competition it is exceedingly important that the Canadian should be able to get his grain from the farmers* wagon to the British market under the most reasonable conditions. If he can save 2 cents per bushel it means $100 to the farmer who grows 5,000 bushels, and that will buy him a good suit of clothes, and his wife a pretty fair dress, and a good many pairs of boots for the children. You see how important then is this 2 cents a bushel saved at the elevator, or in the freight rates. No one denies that the great problem with the farmers' associations during the past two or three years has been the elevator question. Last year the interprovincial association sent three or delegates to Ottawa to meet in one of the most important conferences that was ever held here. That conference was held in the office of the Minister of Trade and Commerce with Sir Richard Cartwright ip the chair, and it was attended by repre-, sentatives of the railways, of the grain exchange, and of the banks and other financial institutions. The representatives of the farmers presented their case for terminal elevators, and it is not flattering them too much to say: that they held their own with the representatives of the other great institutions present. These representatives tried to get a condition of affairs which will enable the farmer to get the best possible price for his products under the keen competition which there will be in the world's market. The purpose I have m view is that the wheat as the farmer sells if from his farm shall arrive at the ultimate market in the condition in which he sells it. This can be accomplished only by full government control of internal term-

inal and transfer elevators. The farmers did not get exactly what they wanted; they never do at first; it is the man who keeps persistently at it who gets what he wants, and these farmers will keep persistently at it until they do get what they want. They know what they want and the people of eastern Canada will understand it when they take a little time to study the question. These farmers' delegates made a plea for government operation of terminal elevators and I quote from the pamphlet which was prepared by them:
We the undersigned members of the delegation representing the organized farmers of the three prairie provinces, at the request and on behalf of the whole delegation, beg to submit the following re-statement of the requests and recommendations made by us on behalf of our people at the conference held last week, with a view of putting them and the arguments advanced in their support, in a more orderly and concise form.
These farmers' delegates as I have said met with the members of the government and the representatives of the financial and transportation interests, and believing they did not get what they deserved, they prepared, after they returned home, the pamphlet from which I quote. It will be remembered that in the dying hours of last session at four o'clock in the morning some members of this House referred to the conference which had just been completed and they endeavoured to convince the government that the farmers of the west asked what was proper and fair:
At the outset it is proper that we should state whom we represent, the circumstances which led up to a delegation being appointed and our mission to Ottawa.
There are three large organizations of farmers in the west-the Grain Growers' Association of Manitoba, the Grain Grower's Association of Saskatchewan and the Alberta farmers' Association, the aggregate membership of which is in the neighborhood of ten thousand.
I would point out that the farmers are scattered throughout the west; the manufacturers are close together, and they have the impetus of contact which means a good deal in discussing any question. Supposing we had 10,000 farmers, and I would like to see it, marching up the street and taking their place in front of this building, then would the government of this country begin to realize that the farmers are a force in our national affairs. I hope the farmers of this country will never have to do that:
But we do not represent these alone. As the direct representatives of these ten thousand organized farmers who embrace the most intelligent and articulate portion of the farm population, we claim the right to be regarded as representatives of the whole body of western agriculturists.
Our presence as a delegation at Ottawa is the outcome of a conference of the representatives of the above mentioned farmers' associations which met at Saskatchewan last February and which after passing a number of important resolutions, arranged that two delegates should be sent from each association to press for the legislation required by these resolutions.
I think no one will deny that these gentlemen represented the sentiments of the western farmers as a whole:
We may add with respect to all the important resolutions passed at the conference, that they had been thoroughly discussed in approximate forms and agreed to by each of the provincial associations prior to being dealt with by the conference, so that most emphatically they represent the sentiments of the western farmers as a whole.
The resolution growing out of this asks that the Dominion government operate the transfer terminal elevators. Another resolution asks for the special binning of grains at the terminal elevators in order that a satisfactory market might be developed in Winnipeg for the common benefit of the farmer and the miller. I am not dealing to-night with the question of a sample market.
It is sometimes said that the farmers are not very definite in their requests and statement of grievances. I think their requests are definite. On four definite points which they believe to be grievances they are agreed: first, they believe that there is improper or too low grading of their wheat; second, they believe there is dishonest weighing; third, they believe there is excessive dockage, and fourth, they believe that there is loss of identity of 'the wheat. Any one familiar with the grain trade will realize that these are definite grievances. The hon. member for Regina (Mr. W. M. Martin) the other night referred to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. If it would not be too much of a digression I would say that my position on the Grand Trunk is and always has been that we must have the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, we need it in that western country and no man can show that I have ever said anything to the contrary. The hon. member said that grain was being taken across the line, and I inferred from his statement that it was taken into the United States for transportation because it was not possible to secure transportation on the Canadian side. If that condition exists in Manitoba, it exists to a very limited extent. Our wheat is going across the border for quite a few miles north of the boundary although that movement was larger in the first part of the season than it was towards the last. Why was it going into the United States? Because it secured a better grade there than in Canada. Wheat that would grade in Boissevain, Waskada and Lyleton as No. 3 Northern

can get a No. 1 Northern under American grading.
The farmers are anxious to avoid the manipulation of their grain by these grain dealers who are always trying to make people believe that they have such tremendous interest in the farmer. Last year when the Roblin government introduced legislation in connection with the Winnipeg Grain Exchange, I happened to be in Winnipeg, and two of the first men I met, both pronounced Tories, spent two hours trying to convince me that the Roblin government had wronged the grain exchange, had ruined it. The Grain Exchange had commenced the erection of a great building and they said it would never be finished. What occurred? The Grain Exchange men fired off a little hot air, but it was not very long before they got together and the fine building went on and to-day the Grain Exchange is going on just as before. What does it mean? It means that when they could not fool the farmer in that particular respect they accepted what the farmer desired, and what was not absolutely against the interest of the Grain Exchange. The farmers believe that the only way in which their grievances and difficulties can be overcome is by having the whole system for the handling of the grain from the farmers' wagon to the markets of the world under the control of a staff of men who are not interested in the grain trade. They believe that the government should control the interior, terminal and transfer elevators, so that they may avoid injustice in reference to grades, weighing, dockage and the preservation of the identity of grain. If the government owned the internal elevators only, then when the grain reached the terminal elevators at the head of the lakes it would be mixed, there would be loss in weight and excessive dockage. I shall not deal tonight with the question of weight in relation to shipping between Port Arthur and the transfer elevators as I believe an hon. member who will follow me is far more familiar with that part of the question than I am. A very serious condition has arisen in connection with this link in the train of transportation. If the government controlled the elevators as far as the head of the lakes only, then the grain would leave the terminal elevators properly graded and unmixed, but the mischief would be done in the transfer elevators, so that the farmers are convinced that the only remedy is to have government control throughout the whole system. The farmers say with reference to that:	.
That the fact that our wheat is now received by eastern Canadian and British millers out of the terminals not cleaned as required by the Act, and sometimes showing evidence of being tampered with, although put out under the supervision of a government inspector,indicates that so long as those elevators are operated by parties who may Mr. SCHAFFNER.
profit by evading the provisions of the Act, no system of supervision can be relied on to prevent such practices nor in the light of such past experience, restore the public confidence.
That the government supervision and private operation would require two sets of employees under different control. Apart from the danger of friction between the operators and supervisors, the cost of maintaining two sets of employees where only one would be required under government operation, is a strong argument in favour of our contention.
What occurred after that convention of last year? The government did not give us what we asked, they did not say that they would operate the elevators-and the delegation did not ask the government to buy the elevators but to lease them to carry on the experiment for a few years. The government put on more inspectors, adding at Port Arthur and Fort William 25 additional men. That meant an unnecessary number of men to be paid ultimately out of the price of the wheat. It will be seen at once that under this system two set of men are employed to do the work that one set of men could do. The grain dealer will have his set of men and there is also the government staff, and no matter by whom they are employed, these men have to be paid out of the price of the wheat. Then we have perhaps too many elevators. I do not know whether that statement will be accepted by this House, but that nevertheless is the case. It may not exist to such an extent in the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta, but it certainly exists to some extent in Manitoba. An ordinary elevator can take care of about 150,000 bushels of grain during the season. Every little town in Manitoba-take for instance Miami-will have about four or five elevators. Well, if one elevator can take care of 150,000 bushels of grain, the strong probability is that three out of the four or five elevators in Miami last year did not handle more than about 30,000 bushels each. Nevertheless, each one has to keep its full staff of officers and it costs just as much to maintain it as if it handled 150,000 bushels. If that condition of affairs exists, it must add to the cost of transporting our grain, and the way to avoid that would be by government control. If we had government control, we would have just sufficient elevators in one town to take care of the grain shipped from that town and just sufficient men employed to take care of these elevators. Every one who has lived in the western provinces knows how the business is done. A farmer comes in with a load of grain.. If there are five or six elevators in the town, there are five or six men on the street. They run out to meet the farmer. They jump on to hi3 wagon and make a grade; and 90 times out of a 100, the grade which the first man puts on the wheat is the grade that goes,

and the price which the first man offers is the price that goes. Only about two years ago, I believe there was a pooling system, and one of the results of this conference was to do away with that system. If we have in all these towns too many elevators and too many men employed, we are put to too much expense and we can lessen that expense by having one control of the wheat, by having a man to weigh and grade and ship our wheat, who has absolutely no interest in it. To-day a man takes the wheat off the farmer's wagon at a low grade. Perhaps he pays the farmer for grade three. Then he mixes that wheat with other wheat grade number one or two, and sells it for grade number one. It makes of course quite a difference to the farmer whether he gets paid for grade one or grade three. In that country we get very little number one hard. The great bulk of the grain last year was number one northern or number two northern.
Let me give an illustration of this taken from the United States, because I believe the same condition exists in Canada as exists on the other side. In the state of Dakota the farmers, believing that something was going wrong in connection with the milling of their wheat, appealed to the Bankers' Association and that association appointed five bankers, prominent men- and no doubt considered by the farmers reliable men-and sent them to Duluth to take charge of an elevator for three months. I wish to place on * Hansard ' what these men discovered, as I believe similar conditions exist on this side. They took charge of this elevator and they bought:
cultural Committee, there was an agitation, and this government was induced to appoint a commission of three men, consisting of Mr. Millar, Mr. McNair and Mr. Goldie. What were they asked to do? They were asked according to their commission :
To take into consideration all or any matters connected with the Inspection and Sale Act and the Manitoba Grain Act; and in connection therewith have power to visit the grain growers, the elevators all over the great wheat-growing regions, the methods of handling the grain at the various stations, farmers' elevators, as well as companies' elevators, the distribution of cars.
And right here there is something I forgot to mention. These farmers, by their co-operation, have been able to secure the privilege of loading their grain direct onto the cars, and secure a more equitable distribution of cars. But our grain dealers, who are so mightily interested in the farmers, made a tremendous effort last year to take away this privilege from the farmers. The farmers, believing that, though the system may not be perfect yet it is the best we have ever had, put up a determined opposition and insisted that the present system of the distribution of cars should be maintained. They got another very important improvement, in relation to the transportation of coarse grains, which were carried at a higher freight rate than wheat, and on which they got a reduction. This was a very important concession, and made it possible to ship the coarser grains in many cases where it would otherwise have been impossible.
99.000	bushels of No. 1 northern.
141.000	of No. 2 northern.
272.000	of No. 3 northern.
201.000	of No. 4 northern.
116.000	of no grade.
59.000	rejected.
That is what was shipped into this elevator at Duluth. What came out:
196.000	No. 1 northern.
467.000	No. 2 northern.
215.000	No. 3 northern.
How much number four northern? How much no grade? How much rejected? Absolutely not a bushel. Not a bushel of these three last grades went out of this elevator. There was on hand 12,733 bushels. This with the amount shipped out, equalled the amount taken in. These bankers signed their names to the report they made in connection with that elevator for three months. That same condition of things exists on this side and will continue until this government takes some means whereby we can establish the identity of the grade of our wheat from the time it leaves the farmer's wagon until it reaches market. Those who were here in 1906 will remember that up in the Agri-

To take into consideration all or any matters connected with the Inspection and Sale Act and Manitoba Grain Act, and in conneo-tion therewith shall have power to visit the grain growers, the elevators all over the wheat-growing region, the methods of handling the grain at the various stations, farmers' elevators as well as companies' elevators, the distribution of cars, methods of the grain dealers in Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal, and the system of government inspection and collection of fees, selection of grades, and the methods of handling the grain at Port William and Port Arthur, at the lake ports, at Montreal, St. John and Halifax, and also the condition existing as to the manner of handling the grain upon its arrival in England
That was pretty broad. If these men were competent,-I have no reason for saying they were not-and if they spent the necessary time in their work, and did their work efficiently, then this report ought to have some weight with this government and with the country. I shall read but little of the report, but I desire to take a few sections of it:
Proceeding to Fort William and Port Arthur, we inquired into the operation and status of the terminal elevators there, and then followed the course of the grain to the

Georgian bay and Lake Huron elevators, investigating the system of handling, binning, storing and weighing of the grain.
Sittings were held in Toronto, Kingston and Montreal, and after considering the marketing and the handling of grain at those points, we returned to Winnipeg via Buffalo, Port Huron, Chicago, Minneapolis and Duluth, having conferences at those places with inspectors, weighmasters, elevator operators and other persons in the grain trade, for the purpose of comparing our system of handling grain with the systems in vogue in the United States. We wish here to acknowledge the many courtesies extended to us in these cities, and to express our appreciation of the assistance afforded us.	t
During our eastern tour, we were in communication with the Grain Growers' Associations of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, with reference to places and dates of meetings in those provinces.	.
I would particularly call attention to the next quotation:
The private corporations operating the terminal elevators at Fort William are composed largely of the shareholders, officers and directors of grain firms and country line elevator companies in Winnipeg, and as such having a direct financial interest in much of the grain passing through their elevators at Fort Wiliam.
That is, a firm might control the grain from the time it left the farmer's wagon through the initial elevator terminal and transfer elevator.
Regarding the operation of these elevators in general it is very difficult, and in fact impossible, for a commission following from public sittings and inspection of the elevators to determine whether they are being operated strictly according to the provisions, of the Manitoba Grain Act and the Inspection and Sale Act, but from the evidence received in Ontario, and from samples submitted to us there, and from samples taken directly bv the commission from arrivals at bay ports, it is quite clear that there is not sufficient supervision or control of the cleaning of grain at Fort William. There is a very general complaint throughout Ontario that they do not get the regular grades of Manitoba grain, of wheat especially, in as clean a condition as is called for by the inspection department. We also found from examination of arrivals in Great Britain that the grain as received there contains too great a percentage of foreign matter. It is quite evident to us that there should be a complete supervision of the cleaning operations of these elevators. . . .
To Kingston and Montreal we find that the weights are much more regular and closer to those given by Fort William and Port Arthur. At Buffalo, from statements issued by the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce Weigh-master, we find that in nine out of the past ten years Fort William and Port Arthur shipments have shown a surplus at this point on the grain weighed in by this weighmaster, but even there we find some very large individual overages and shortages. The shipments to the Georgian bay and Lake Huron ports show a heavy shortage, and it seems to us advisable that a special weighing department should be created.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: This is a very important matter, and my hon. friend (Mr. Lake) may deal with it when he speaks.
This would indicate that the weighing is very irregular, and it seems to us advisable that a special weighing department should be created. ...	.
As our whole system of inspection and the handling of grain under the Inspection and Sale Act and the Manitoba Grain Act depends upon the forwarding of our grain through the channels of transportation to final destination with identity of grade preserved, it seems to us that the system is imperfect, owing to the fact that east of Fort William there is no control whatever of grain going forward under government inspection certificates. As it is of the utmost importance when the trade is doing business on the western inspection that lots of grain so bought in the east or in foreign countries should go forward the exact grade and in the condition in which it leaves Fort William and Port Arthur, we would therefore suggest that all public elevators which handle grain grown in the Manitoba inspection division, east of Fort William for storage or transhipment should be placed under restrictions similar to those of terminal elevators in the Manitoba division as to licensing, bonding, binning and weighing of grain.
A gentleman from the east said to me the other day-and I believe that when he gives this question further study he will change his opinion-that he thought I ought to stop at the Fort William and Port Arthur and not include these transfer elevators. But we miss the point if we do not include all these elevators in the great system that our farmers are trying to carry on to-day of having their grain placed on the market.
Some hon. members may say that ,the farmer is satisfied with the supervision given. With the addition of these twenty-five men at Port Arthur and Fort William, it may be that some of our farmers are satisfied in the meantime. But I have a letter from the Interprovincial Association, dated January 30, 1909. The writer says:
We take the stand that the Dominion government should acquire, either by purchase or lease, the terminal and transfer elevators, and operate them in the puiblio interest. The government, at the conference, led as to understand that they would not acquire the elevators, but that they would establish a system of supervision. Our reply to this was that no system of supervision would guard grain in transit through those elevators when they were operated by the grain trade.
That should be manifest to any business man in this House.
I believe the government has established a system of supervision this session as _ perfect as they can make it, yet the condition of grain shipped out of the terminals does not seem to be any better.

And they give the evidence, which is worth paying attention to.
An Ontario miller purchased two cars of 1 Northern wheat shipped out of one of the private terminal elevators at Fort William this month. Samples of the car were sent on arrival to the seller, and then presented to Mr. Horn. He inspected one sample 2 Northern and the other 3 Northern. Both cars carried a government certificate for 1 Northern ex Fort William. This will indicate to jou to some extent the situation of the terminal. To those who have given the matter the most earnest consideration, it is quite clear that nothing short of the terminals being taken out of the hands of the grain men will be satisfactory.
Only government operation and government control of our wheat from the time it leaves our wagons until it reaches the British market will bring about the result we have the right to desire to reach in connection with the selling of wheat.
Now, Sir, I had no idea of taking up so much time with this question, but as I said in the beginning, I have no apology to make, for the governments of this country will very soon have to recognize and deal with this question of elevators. The elevator is the proper _ way of handling wheat. We have the privilege of loading wheat directly on the cars; we have our car platforms all over the country. But the most convenient way to transfer our grain is to transfer it through these elevators.
There is another point that I forgot to mention, and I will mention it now, because I think it will give some information to this House of a useful character. As a matter of fact we only shipped about 78,000,000 bushels of wheat last year, and we have in this country internal and transfer elevators to the capacity of 75,000,000 bushels. We do not need as much elevator capacity as we can grow grain, that is self-evident to anybody. I want to say that these terminal elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur, with the exception of the elevators owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, are owned and operated by private companies. The Canadian, Pacific Railway Company has three elevators at Port Arthur and three elevators at Fort William, with a capacity of 7,777,700 bushels. At Keewatin, the Lake of the Woods Milling Company has one elevator and the Lake of the Woods Manufacturing Company has one. At Port Arthur, Joseph G. King & Co. have a terminal elevator There we have five elevators with a capacity of over
13,000,000 bushels. The Canadian Northern has two elevators at Port Arthur with a capacity of over 7,000,000 bushels. These are terminal elevators. Then we have transfer elevators, and there are more of them than I supposed. At Kingston the Canadian Pacific Railway have an elevator of the capacity of 500,000 bushels, the Montreal
Transportation Company have one with a capacity of 761,000; James Richardson & Son have one with a capacity of 235,000, or a total of 996,000 bushels. Then the Grand Trunk-I am not giving all'the figures-at Collingwood, Depot Harbour, Meaford, Midland, Prescott and Tiffin have seven elevators with a capacity of 7,000,000 bushels. Of eastern transfer elevators, there are three at Montreal with a capacity of about
2.500.000.	The Canadian Northern has at Quebec four elevators with a capacity of about 3,000,000. The Canadian Pacific Railway have an elevator in St. John with a capacity of 1,000,000. The Intercolonial has one at St. John with a capacity of 500,000; one at Halifax with a capacity of 500,000; total, three elevators with a capacity of
2.000.	000. Now, we have in Manitoba 689 elevators with a capacity of over 20,000,000 bushels; Saskatchewan has 615 elevators with a capacity of about 18,000,000 bushels; Alberta has 109 elevators with a capacity of 4,000,000 bushels, totalling over 43,000,000 bushels. Adding the Ontario terminals with a capacity of over 20,000,000 bushels, we have a total capacity in the western division of 63,190,000. Adding those in the eastern division we have, as I have said, a total capacity of 78,000,000 bushels.
When we consider the amount of capital that is invested in these elevators, is it not about time that we had some better system of running the business? Does anybody in this House pretend to tell me that the manufacturers or the railway men would conduct their business in this way? What have the manufacturers of this country been doing for years in order to meet competition? They have tried to manufacture with less expense; they have tried to get better results from the labour employed, and we find combinations formed. We find the Massey Company and the Harris Company combined into the Massey-Harris Company. I am well acquainted with these companies and have known them a good many years. Thev found that by bringing their men and plants together they could manufacture more machinery, and perhaps better machinery, and could manufacture it cheaper. Now, as we grow more grain in the west we shall need more elevator capacity. Wheat is bringing a good price now, and we do not feel the need of these things quite so much. When the farmer gets $1 a bushel for his wheat he doesn't do quite so much kicking if he has to pay a little more. Everybody in the west has been getting that price for the last couple of yeaTS. But for many years previously the farmer sold his wheat'at a price that barely paid expenses. Who knows but what that condition of affairs may come again. In all probability it will come. Then I say that now is the time, when things are prosperous ! and prices are good, that we should set to

work and try to regulate and improve the present condition of affairs in the best interest of the farmers. I say that this elevator question is just as important as any railway question, and I ask the government to give the matter their careful consideration. The farmers deserve it. It would pay our great financial centres, it would pay Montreal, St. John, Toronto and every other city to give this matter their consideration. While eastern Canada is a very important part of confederation, everybody admits that if Canada is going to become a great nation it depends upon the west. At some future time we may have to go into mixed farming, and perhaps dairying; but to-day, and for a number of years to come, the great industry of that country will be the growing of wheat. Consequently it becomes of the utmost importance that we .should get our wheat to the market as cheaply as possible. Nine-tenths of the products of the soil that we export in Canada go to the British markets. What are we doing as legislators? We are sent here by the farmers to look after their interests, and it is our duty to see that they get their products to the foreign markets under the best possible conditions and at the lowest possible rates. In conclusion, I believe that a tax of li cents or 11 cents per bushel for grain going through an elevator would pay the cost of operation, pay the interest on bonds necessary to purchase the present system and also create a sinking fund which would pay the bonds off when they come due. I ask the government to give this matter their very serious consideration, and if they can help the farmers in any way they will not only be benefiting them, but the whole country.


Mr. R. S. LAKE (Qu'Appelle).: I have said enough to prove the first part of the resolution, that the present system is detrimental to the western grain producers. The second part of the resolution reads:
That the government should take immediate steps to operate terminal elevators at Port William and Port Arthur, and the transfer elevators between these terminals and the Atlantic sea-board.
I take it, that we are first likely to be met with objection on the score of expense, but that objection can only be urged by those who have not closely studied the question. To my mind there will be no expense whatever incurred. The fees charged for having grain inspected by the public inspectors usually meets the whole cost of that inspection so far as the western part of the inspection is concerned. In addition to that there will be the cost of operating, but that comes out of the grain itself now, and it will so continue if the government take charge of the operation. The government will still charge probably very much the same fees which are now charged by the private corporations, but the cost of inspection will be saved. The system of government operation should be and would be self-supporting, and would be no charge whatever on the country.
A second objection which may be urged by the government is the old stock objection, the question of government ownership. In this connection I would point out that the government already is the owner of a transfer elevator at Port Colborne and as the proprietors of the Intercolonial Railway, they own elevators at some of the eastern ocean ports. In addition to that I would point out that through the Prime Minister the government have made a definite promise when the Hudson Bay Railway is completed the government will build and own and keep under their own ownership the terminals and the elevators which will be erected at the Hudson Bay port. The Prime Minister, as it will be clearly remembered, made a great speech at Niagara in the early part of the recent campaign That speech was considered and treated by speakers throughout Canada as the great exposition of the policy which the government was prepared to carry into effect if they were returned to power. It has already been quoted in the House by the Minister oi Railways and Canals (Mr. Graham) as a statement of what the policy of the government will be in one respect, and I have no doubt whatever that it will be confirmed by other members of the government as an exposition of the government's policy in regard to the ownership of terminal elevators at the Hudson's Bay port. Speaking at Niagara on September 16, 1908, Mr. LAKE.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier is thus reported in The 'Globe':	Speaking of the Hudson's Bay
railway, he said:
The government will build the railway or rather somebody will be entrusted with the building but whatever we do, all the terminals and all the elevators shall be built by the government and retained, under all circumstances, by the government so as ,to ensure the largest measure of benefit possible to the Canadian people in the northwest provinces.
There is a most definite and distinct promise of government ownership and operation of the elevators which are to be constructed on the shores of Hudson bay and so the Prime Minister and head of the government having adopted the principle of government ownership in connection with terminal elevators at one ocean port, surely he cannot see any insuperable difficulty in adopting the same principle in regard to terminal elevators and transfer elevators at other ports. It would be only an expansion of the system which they themselves proposed of their own volition to carry into effect in the Hudson bay, and it would certainly be an anomaly to have the government adopting one system on the Hudson bay and a miscellaneous series of systems in other parts of the Dominion. There would, I think, be no objection on the part of the present elevator owners. We had that from the mouths of some of them who gave evidence* before the Minister of Trade ana Commerce at the conference which took place last year. The great transportation companies, I think, would actually welcome the government coming in and operating their elevators. Their great fear in connection with this increased system of inspection was that the dual system of control would probably be an obstacle in the way of the efficient and speedy operation of the elevators. I was personally told by a representative of the railways who was then present that he would be very glad to see the government step in and operate all these elevators so long as they did it efficiently, and I think there ought to be very little difficulty in having an efficient administration at any rate of an elevator system by the government. A gentleman who attended that conference representing the Winnipeg grain exchange and also representing the owners of some of these private-owned terminal elevators at lake ports, stated that there would be no objection so far as he could see to the government taking these elevators over and operating them; in fact the impression made on my mind by his evidence was that these private corporations would welcome government operation. I am quite confident, to sum up this matter, that there would be no objection to it on the part of the trans-

portation companies and there should be no objection on the part of the grain exporting companies who intend to do a legitimate business, and the objections of those who do not intend to do a legitimate business I do not think should be considered. The action called for is the corollary of the position which is taken by the government in the matter of grading and inspection, it is the logical sequence to the inspection by the government of all grain, and the granting of government certificates, that the grain should remain under the absolute control and in the hands of government officers so long as it remains within the borders of the Dominion and until it is placed on the ocean-going steamers. That seems to be the logical sequence of our system of grading and certificating grain.
I believe, as I have said that the whole business would be self-supporting. It would cost no more than the present system, in fact it would be a less costly system as it would be all under the government operation and the fees charged at the present time would more than cover the whole cost. No burden whatever would be placed on the government in carrying the system through.


David Bradley Neely: Mr. Speaker, I am sure that all members of the House appreciate the very great importance of the subject that has been brought to our attention by the hon. members for Souris (Mr. Schaffner) and Qu'Appelle (Mr. Lake). We are aware that the grain question is of prime importance to the western Canadian farmer. Whatever other products may be raised, we must all recognize this fact that wheat is, par excellence, the product of western Canada. We are all aware of the enormous amount to which the production of grain, and particularly of wheat and the coarser grains, has increased throughout the three prairie provinces. In the province of Saskatchewan, from which I come, the production this last year was in round numbers over 100,000,000 bushels of coarser grains, of which over 50,000,000 bushels was wheat. In Manitoba the amount was somewhat smaller. In Alberta the grain growing industry has not been developed to the same extent, but the amount each year is rapidly increasing. We therefore can all . appreciate the great importance to the western farmers of everything which has any bearing on the price of their chief commodity. I have before me some statistics furnished by the Department of Trade and Commerce, in its weekly report of March 15, 1909, which show how rapidly the production of grain is increasing in western Canada. For the six months ending in February of this year, from September, 1908, to end of February, 1909, the total amount of grain received in the terminal elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur was something over 60,000,000 bushels. For the same period in 1907-8 the amount was a little under 40,000,000 bushels. So that in one year alone, we have increased the amount of grain shipped in these corresponding periods of six months 50 per cent.
Of course anything which affects the price of wheat must necessarily be of great interest to the western grower, and any movement made in this House or outside it for the purpose of procuring to the western farmers a proper price for their grain must have the cordial sympathy and support of this House, especially of representatives from the west of Lake Superior. There is equally no doubt that the farmers of western Canada are not content with the present conditions surrounding the grain trade, rot only as regards the export of grain, by the terminal and transfer elevators at Fort William and eastwards, but also as regards the purchase of grain from the farmers' wagons. The greatest loss to the western Canadian producer does not come from the operations of the terminal elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur and the transfer elevator further east but from the very great spread between what are commonly known as track and street wheat. Ever since our farmers have had the privilege of getting their own cars and shipping direct their own wheat, a condition prevails under which the small farmer, who is compelled to sell by the v\ agon load on the street, gets a very iarge margin less than the farmer who loads his own car and ships direct to the terminal elevators. The reason given by the elevator companies for this disparity is the great difficulty they experience in getting sufficient cars from the transportation companies to ship out the grain when they want to ship it. They say that when they purchase a wagon load, they do not know when they will get a car to ship it in, and for this they blame the car distribution clause of the Manitoba Act. Therefore, they say, they must sell for a future market and not the market that obtains at the moment, and for that reason have to allow a reasonable spread between the price' of street wheat and that of track wheat. To my mind the greatest loss that comes to the farmer does not come from the operations of the terminal or transfer elevators referred to in the resolution, but from the very great spread between the price of the street and the track wheat in the country town where the farmer brings his wheat either for sale or shipment, and I cannot understand why this resolution did not include a recommendation that the government should also take over the interior elevators. If they are going to do the thing at all, why not do it entirely? Therefore., while my sympathy is strongly with any movement tending to enhance the price of wheat to the farmer and give him proper remuneration for his toil, I do not think that the

resolution submitted by my hon. friend from Souris (Mr. Schaffner) would by any means combat all the evils, or even the most important, which the farmer has to contend with. I am quite aware that the Grain Growers' Associations of Manitoba and Saskatchewan and the Farmers' Association of Alberta have made certain representations to this government. One of these is that the government should take over the terminal elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur and the transfer elevators further east. So far as the principle involved is concerned, I have no serious objection to offer except this. Canada is a young country and these large elevator interests have vested rights in this country. They have established themselves at Fort William and Port Arthur, they have established transfer elevators further east, and I would like to call the attention of the mover and seconder of this resolution to a series of practical difficulties. They have established these transfer elevators, and I would call the attention of the mover and seconder of this resolution to the fact that there is a serious practical difficulty in the way. Suppose the government did accept this proposition, what should they do? Should they lease these elevators? The owners might not be willing to lease them. Should they expropriate them? That would be a very radical measure to take. Suppose they were to construct opposition terminal and transfer elevators, how would the capitalists all over the world, to whom a young country like Canada must look for necessary capital to carry on great industrial operations, view such a step on the part of the government? I am not objecting to this resolution now, but I am calling attention to this practical difficulty, which, apparently, these hon. gentlemen have not thought of, which, at least, they have not discussed.
The hon. member for Qu'Appelle (Mr. Lake) stated that the leader of the government had told the people that when the government of this country built the road to Hudson bay it was their purpose to own and operate the terminals there. That is a very much simpler proposition. There are no terminal elevators there now, and so there will be no vested interests established through the investment of private capital to be affected by these governmental terminal elevators. It would be quite reasonable to ask the government to undertake such a work, and one which we of western Canada are glad the leader of the government has promised the people of the west he will undertake in the immediate future. It strikes me as a very peculiar thing that according to the statements of these hon. gentlemen no system of government control or supervision of these terminals and transfer elevators could successfully meet the difficulties of the western Canadian farmers who think there is manipulation of the Mr. NEELY.
grain passing through them. We had a case of an investigation of the practices of terminal elevators at Duluth, and how these elevators manipulate the grain that came from the producers of the western states; so that, whereas a large amount of wheat of low grade went into these elevators, when it was shipped out all these low grades were found to have disappeared and nothing but high grades were shipped. Surely this House is not asked to believe that these elevators were under a system of government supervision such as the terminal elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur? I am willing to admit that the .farmers of the west have had serious objections to these terminal elevators. One of the strongest objections is that the corporations that operate the majority of these terminal elevators are those interested in the grain trade further back-that is men who are back of the corporations hold elevators at different points along the great lines of railway throughout the three provinces. The contention of the farmers is that on account of these grain dealers having control of the terminal elevators they are in a position to manipulate the grain that passes through and to carry on practices similar to those described as having been carried on in the terminal elevators at Duluth. I admit that the evidence taken before the Grain Commission appointed by this government in 1906 did give support to that suspicion in the minds of the western Canadian farmers. As a result of that commission and its report, and as a result of the inquiry and report made last session, the Department of Trade and Commerce, I understand, has increased the number of officers in the terminal elevators at Fort William, I believe bv twenty-five men. Yet the hon. member for Souris (Mr. Schaffner) tells us that the management of the grain that passes through these elevators is not satisfactory; that wheat shipped out of lots inspected by the grain inspector at Winnipeg, and graded No. 1 Northern, were received at certain points in Ontario and were found to be only No. 2 or No. 3 northern. I cannot understand how such a thing could possibly oocur, if the inspectors at Fort William and Port Arthur are doing their work as it ought to be done. If these things are true, to my mind there should be a thorough investigation, and if these men representing the government are doing their work in an unsatisfactory way, it is time we had a change in the government officials at these points. There might be an isolated instance, but if this is a common occurrence it is time for an investigation into the methods of our officials. While I am not opposing this resolution, I think that the nresent system at Fort William and Port Arthur ought to be given a fair trial. It has had just one year of

operation, and we cannot very well judge of a system of this kind as the result of one year. I think we should be careful in adopting a resolution of .this kind, one which, if carried out, entails very serious practical difficulties. Especially should we be careful about advocating this system before we have given the existing system of government supervision a fair trial. I maintain that that system has not had a fair trial; one year is not a sufficient time, and that an isolated instance such as given by the hon. member for Souris when he referred to this grain shipped from the elevators in the month of January and found to be of lower grade is not a sufficient reason why the government should take this important step.
Now in 1906 this government appointed a Royal Commission to investigate the grain trade. Here I want to say that we must not be led by the remarks that have been made here to-night in support of this resolution, to think that all the farmers of the west are agreed on the proposition that the government should own and operate the terminal elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur and further east; because, as far as my opinion goes, there is a great diversity of opinion on that question. I want just to read from the last page of the report of the Royal Commission on the Grain Trade of Canada to confirm what I have said; I want to read the conclusions that were arrived at after thorough investigation of this subject by the Royal Commission. After stating that they found the terminal elevators at Port Arthur and Fort William were largely in the hands of private companies, this report goes on to say:
8.	We believe the operating of terminal elev-vators by private companies under the present regulations would be detrimental to the interests of the trade, and would tend to destroy public confidence in the results obtained therefrom. Our reasons for believing this are, that the elevator companies (if they so wish) would be able to manipulate the grades for their own benefit and not to clean grain up for the dockage set by the government inspector.
9.	The fact that an elevator is owned and operated by a railway company does not with the present regulations, in our opinion, necessarily ensure protection to the public. We would like, however, to see the elevators at present owned, or to be owned, by the railways operated by them.
10.	To prevent the evils that are made possible by the operation of terminal elevators under the present system, we do not think it wise to advise the government to go to the length of taking over the terminal elevators or of prohibiting persons engaged in the grain trade bein" interested in such terminals. We believe it is possible to obtain a good service from these elevators under the present ownership ibv having a more thorough system of supervision and control.
This report is signed by John Miller, W.
L.	MacNair and George E. Goldie, the
three commissioners who were appointed to investigate the grain trade. They went thoroughly into the whole question, and their view is that the radical step-or what seems so to many of us-of the government taking over all the terminal and transfer elevators from Fort William eastward, is not one on which the western farmers are unanimous. This commission also recommended, as you have noticed, a more thorough supervision and control on the part of the government to meet the needs of the grain trade so far as these terminal and transfer elevators are concerned. I may say that as a result of this investigation into the grain trade of the west, and as a result of their report, and the investigation into the report held last year, some important improvements were made to the Manitoba Grain Act, and some amendments were made to the Inspection and Sale Act that met at least a part of the objections of the farmers to the way in which the grain trade had been handled previous to that time. But I am free to say that there are still some serious handicaps on the grain trade in the way in which it is handled from Fort William eastward. One of the things that is harmful to the grain trade of the west and to the producer, one of the conditions that is injurious, is met by the vessels employed in the carrying trade on the great lakes. When they carry grain from Chicago, ot from Duluth, or from ports on the American side, they find at those points, established by the grain trade itself, clearing houses where a vessel can go to one elevator, or to two or three at most, and obtain a full cargo of grain. As a result of these clearing houses for documents at those ports on the American side, a vessel can go to one of those ports and take a load of grain in a few hours, not exceeding in any case half a day. What is the condition of affairs at Port Arthur and Fort William? In a place where they have a dozen terminal elevators, in order to get her cargo a vessel has to go from one to another, she has to go around six or seven, or eight elevators before she has obtained her ioad. That means, not a matter of a few hours, but a matter of two or three days, in many cases; that means a great increase in the cost of carrying this grain, because the owners of these vessels cannot afford, when so much time is lost in loading the grain, to charge the same freight rates from Fort William as they do from corresponding ports on the American side. Now I think the government should require the grain trade that is interested in these terminal elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur, to establish a clearing house for documents whereby a vessel could go to one or two elevators and receive her cargo, and the other elevators interested could use this elevator as a clearing house for the quantity that

they propose to ship. That could easily be done, that would be an easy matter to accomplish, and I think that would remove one of the very serious sources of loss to the producer of western Canadian wheat. Then again the mover and seconder of this resolution have referred to the fact that when these vessels, that are loaded at Fort William and Port Arthur, where the grain is weighed into them by a government weighmaster, reach the Georgian bay and other eastern ports, in many cases very serious shortages are found, and of course the carrying trade refuse to be responsible for those shortages. That again is another slap in the face for the producer of western Canadian wheat. I think there is another instance where the government might do a little something in the interest of the grain trade. It seems to me that if we are to have an effective system, if we are going to have men to weigh out this grain into the vessels at Fort William and Port Arthur, we should also have government weighmasters to weigh this grain into the eastern transfer elevators, and in that way another source of loss to the producer in the west would be removed. In my opinion the grain trade of western Canada is one of absorbing interest and importance, and when we come to consider the amount of grain that is being produced, and that will be produced in those prairie provinces the next few years, anything that will effect a saving to the farmer of a cent a bushel, or half a cent, or even a quarter of a cent, or of a less fraction than that, means the saving of a large sum of money to the people of western Canada.
The farmer works hard, as we know, for his living. He earns his bread by the sweat of his brow, literally, and I maintain that everything that can be done by this government and the House to lighten the burden of the western Canadian farmer, to bring to him a fair and just reward of the toil that is necessary for the production of grain, of wheat, oats and other cereals on our western farms, ought to be done. I am sure that the members of the government who are listening to me do so with sympathetic interest. The farmers of the west appreciate very much what the government have already done along this line. We know that last year, when the farmers interviewed upon this grain question the right hon. the Minister of Trade and Commerce, there were very powerful interests present at that interview, and that these other interests sought in every way possible to influence this government to abolish certain provisions of the Manitoba Grain Act which were in the farmers' interests. I say that it is to the credit of this government that they did not listen to these other powerful interests, but that they listened to the voice of the western Canadian farm-Mr. NEELY.
ers. It would have been a great calamity to the western farmer if the car distribution clause had been altered. I hope the government, even if they do not see their way clear to adopt the resolution of the hon. member for Souris, will manifest a sympathetic interest, as they have done in the past, in the representations made by the people of western Canada in connection with everything necessary to improve and promote the welfare of the grain trade of the west. In conclusion I have to say that I quite agree with the view that government supervision and control should follow the farmers' wheat from the time it is taken off the railway car at Winnipeg or Fort William right through to the Atlantic seaboard. A complete and efficient system of control and supervision should be established, as it has been at Fort William and Port Arthur, in connection with the transfer elevators farther east. If that system is given a fair trial and if it is put into effective working order, if this supervision which has been brought into force as far as the terminal elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur are concerned, is extended to the eastern transfer elevators, so as to see that the identity of the farmers' grain, as it is shipped from his own town, is preserved right through to the Atlantic seaboard, the farmers of the west will be very well satisfied with the condition of affairs that will be brought about by this increased supervision and improved control.


George Henry Bradbury: I did not intend to take any part in this discussion and I do not intend to detain the House at any great length at this late hour. I thought when the hon. member for Humboldt (Mr. Neely) rose1- to address this House that I would Rave been able to have congratulated the west on being united on this very important question. There is no doubt that this is a very important question to the west and every argument that the hon. gentleman has used here to-night in sunnort of a better system of supervision at the terminal elevators has, I think, been a very strong argument in support of the resolution before the House for government-ownership of the terminal elevators. I do not intend to detain the House. Everything I might say would simply be a repetition of what has been so well said by the mover and seconder of this resolution. There is no doubt that something ought to be done to protect the farmer, to make it possible that the grain that he ships from the great provinces of the west would Teach the markets of the world in the condition in which it leaves those provinces. The information that we have had laid before us to-night and the information that every man from the west has had time and again placed before him proves conclusively that the grain has been tampered with at the elevators en route to market and that the

grain that leaves the western provinces does not reach the consumer in the British market in the condition in which it leaves. This is a very important question not only for the farmers of the west, but for the whole of Canada. We have the reputation of raising the finest grain in the world, and I believe there is no question that we deserve that reputation. Manitoba and the other two great provinces of the west are producing to-day a sample of grain that has no equal in the world and it is the duty of the government to see that from the time it leaves the farmer until it reaches the consumer in the old land it is not tampered with. In conclusion, I had hoped that the west would be united in support of this resolution. I was a little surprised to hear the argument advanced by the hon. member for Humboldt, and I was surprised that he should desire to throw any obstacle in the way of a resolution of this kind. But, while he did not wish to come out openly and oppose this resolution, he went on to say that what the government had done and were doing was sufficient for the present and that the present system of government-supervision should be given a further trial. I do not know what the government are accomplishing upon these lines, but I say that anything that will improve the condition of the farmer and make it possible for his wheat to reach the markets of the world in a better condition than it does at the present time ought to be supported by every hon. member from the great west. I have much pleasure in concurring in the resolution which has been so ably presented by the hon. member for Souris, and seconded by the hon. member for Qu'Appelle. The information that has been laid before this House ought to convince every man in the House, if it has not succeeded in convincing the hon. member for Humboldt, of the necessity of doing something along these lines. I hope the time is coming when the government will take action. I regret very much that the provincial governments could not see their way clear to do something in the way of taking over the internal elevators. There is no doubt that there have been very serious complaints made as to the manner in which the farmers have been treated by these elevators. But they have, in their wisdom, decided that they have no power to do this and in fact thev have stated practically that it belongs to this parliament to take action in this matter. I can only say that I had hoped that the government would have accepted and made this a government measure, and I am sure that every man coming from the west would have been glad to have seen the resolution accepted and put through in that way. I trust that the speakers who will follow me from the other side of the House-because there are a number of them who are better qualified to speak on this question than I
am-will support the resolution moved by my hon. friend from Souris and seconded by my right hon. friend from Qu'Appelle.


Mr. W. M. MARTIN (Regina).: Mr. Speaker, like other hon. members who have spoken in regard to this subject, I want to state that I thoroughly agree that it is of the utmost importance not only to the farmers of western Canada but also the business men, professional men and inhabitants generally of that western country.
If by any legislation that can be passed in this House changing the present method of handling grain, an additional return is obtainable by the producers of western grain, then the whole Dominion of Canada will be benefited. When we consider that the production of grain in the w>est is only in its infancy and that if is almost impossible to estimate the vast quantity which can be produced in that country, and when we consider that part of that western country is wholly dependent upon the production of wheat and other grain, it must be admitted that this question is of great importance not alone to the people of western Canada but to the people of the east. Now, referring to the question of government ownership which is included * in the motion of my hon. friend (Mr. Schaffner) I have to say that taking government ownership as a general principle I am opposed to it. But, if it can be shown that under the present system of government control there is dishonest weighing at the terminal elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur, and that grades are being manipulated, and if these abuses should continue to exist after the system of government control has been given a fair chance I would most certainly support government ownership in the interests of the grain producing industry of the west.
I congratulate the hon. member for Souris (Mr. Schaffner) on the manner in which he presented his case to the House, but it does seem to me that he offered no conclusive argument in favour of government ownership as compared with government control. I was not able to gather from the remarks of the hon. gentleman that the defects existed at the terminal elevators of Fort William and Port Arthur, because when he began to find fault with the system he went back to the small country elevators and said that the fault lay there. He spoke of the improper grading of the grain, but where is it graded? So far as I know it is graded at Winnipeg, and I do not see how you can get over improper grading at Winnipeg by adopting a policy of government ownership of terminals at Fort William and Port Arthur. The hon. gentleman spoke of dishonest weights, but I take it that this and other evils are provided against in the amendment to the Manitoba

Grain Act and to the Inspection and Sale Act which were passed by parliament last year. I claim that government control if properly carried out should be as efficient as government ownership, if not more so. Under the present system you have two sets of officials, the government officials and the employees of the terminal elevators, who act as a check upon each other. But if the elevators were owned and operated by the government there would be only one set of officials to weigh in the grain and to weigh it out, so that the present system if properly carried out ought to give us more efficient control than the system of government ownership. I had expected that the hon. member for Souris (Mr. Schaffner) and the hon. member for Qu'Ap-pelle (Mr. Lake) would give us some concrete instances of the success of government ownership, but in that I was disappointed. No doubt there are cases in which government ownership has been a success but there are many instances in which it has been a failure, and if we look at the examples of government ownership in this country we all have to admit that there is not much comfort for us in the prospect. One of the main arguments against government ownership is that it interferes more or less with individual enterprise, and the moment a government steps into that field it is going beyond what is the primary function of government. A government, is intended primarily to legislate and to administer; it is not its function to engage in private enterprise. I hold that the system of government control has not yet been given a fair trial because the Act only came into force on the 1st of September, 1908, and only one crop has been handled under it. I would advocate giving that system a fair chance to work out, and if it is not effective no doubt amendments can be made to the legislation which will make it effective. I believe that so far as terminal elevators are concerned, government ownership should only be adopted as a last resort and after it has been demonstrated that government control will not protect the grain producers of the west. The last part of the resolution moved by my hon. friend would seem to be all right if we once admit the principle of government ownership, but, I cannot at all agree with the first part of the resolution which says:
That in the opinon of the House the present system of operating terminal and transfer elevators is detrimental to the interests of western grain producers.
In the year 1906 we had a grain commission consisting of three prominent western men who followed the grain from the time it was harvested and threshed until it reached the Liverpool market, and that Mr. W. M. MARTIN.
commission presented a report to the government. Following the presentation of that report all the grain interests of the west were represented before the Minister of Trade and Commerce, and as a consequence of the conference then held certain amendments were made last session to the Manitoba Grain Act and to the Inspection and Sale Act, all of which amendments were in the interests of the western grain producers. I therefore cannot subscribe to the first part of that resolution which is in reality a criticism of the legislation passed by the government last session, and which legislation, was, I say, in the interest of the western grain producers. I referred a moment ago to the report of the Grain Commission. As I stated that commission followed the course of the grain from the thresher to the Liverpool market. They made certain recommendations to the government, among them the recommendation referred to by the hon. member for Humboldt (Mr. Neely) that they did not believe it would be to the advantage of. the grain trade that the government should take over the terminal elevators at Port Arthur and Fort William. At page 9 of their report they say:
Requests were made of us in the country that the elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur should be taken over and operated by the government in view of the fact that so many of them were operated by private corporations interested in the grain trade. We also had a communication from the department, under date January 23, 1907, inclosing a petition of members of parliament addressed to the right hon. the Prime Minister, requesting that we be instructed specifically to inquire into and report whether it is in the public interest that terminal elevators continue to be operated by common carriers or allowed to pass into the hands of or be operated by persons, firms or corporations engaged in the grain business.
In reply to this communication we addressed to the Rt. Hon. Sir Richard Cartwright, Minister of Trade and Commerce, a letter dated February 1, 1907, a copy of which is appended hereto. We can see no reason for changing the conclusions arrived at at that time, and we believe that if our recommendations are carried out they will give to the public the same confidence and protection in the operation of these elevators as if they were owned ,by the government.
The communication addressed to Sir Richard Cartwright was referred to by the hon. member for Humboldt. The commissioners refer to it on page 19 of their report and say that they had no reason at the time they drew up their report to change their opinion with respect to the government ownership of terminal elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur. That is the view of the three men appointed by the government to investigate the conditions of the grain trade; they reported that they were not in favour of government ownership of terminal ele-vatoTs and did not think it would be in the '

interest of the trade to have the elevators taken over and operated by the government.
As I understand, the main objection that can be raised to the present method of handling the terminal elevators at Fort William or Port Arthur is that except the' Canadian Pacific Railway elevator they are either leased or owned by private companies engaged in the grain trade. The element of personal gain, of illegitimate gain in some cases, enters into the operation of these elevators, and if we can get some legislation in addition to what we have, eliminating that element of personal gain, I believe we will go a long way towards securing what is desired as to terminal facilities at Fort William and Port Arthur. The commissioners in their report refer to these elevators being owned in this way and I have some evidence here which goes to show that the grain coming out of the Canadian Pacific Railway elevator and going towards the eastern transfer elevators is in better condition than that from private company-owned elevators. The secretary of the Dominion Millers' Association, under date of January 9, 1909, communicated with the Department of Trade and Commerce as follows:
There is a marked difference in the quality of the grain coming out of privately owned or operated terminal elevators as compared with the Canadian Pacific Railway elevators. Both dealers and millers tell me that the wheat out of the Canadian Pacific Railway elevator is on an average one-half to one cent a bushel, and sometimes the difference is considerably greater, better value than out of elevators owned or operated by companies interested in buying and selling grain. All the terminal elevators except those owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway are operated by men dealing in grain and largely controlled by United States concerns and managed by experts from across the line.
That bears out what I said in regard to private gain entering into the management of the elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur, the evidence going to show that the Canadian Pacific Railway elevator put out their grain in better shape than the el"eva; tors operated and owned by private corporations.
To refer again to the report of the grain commissioners, in their letter to Sir Richard Cartwright in the year 1907 they practically bear out what is stated by the Dominion Millers' Association, because they say the terminal elevators would be operated in a better way and more in the interests of the grain producers of the west if they were handled by the transportation companies. Apart from the question of government ownership altogether, there is a method of getting free from this element of personal gain, which will continue as long as human nature exists as it is, for the grain men are not in the business for nothing, they are in it to make as much money as they can. Why should not legislation be passed providing that no warehouse man at either
point should be engaged in the grain business, simply make him a warehouse man pure and simple, or instead of that provide that the railway companies must not only build elevators but operate and own them. Take away the element of personal private gain from these elevators, take away from the grain men the gain derived from manipulating the grain in the terminals and I think it will go a long way towards eliminating the difficulties now existing in the handling of grain.
I have referred to the legislation passed last year. I claim that if this legislation is properly enforced under the system of government control, it must remove the difficulties of mixing grades which are alleged to exist at these terminal elevators. For instance, we find in the Act to amend the Manitoba Grain Act of last year, chapter 45 of the statutes of 1908, section 10, the following:
2.	Every public terminal elevator warehouseman in the Manitoba inspection division shall receive for storage any grain tendered to him in a dry and suitable condition for warehousing, in the usual manner in which terminal elevators are accustomed to receive grain in the ordinary and usual course of business. ,
3.	Grain so received shall in all cases be inspected and graded by a duly authorized inspector, and shall be stored with grain of a similar grade.
4.	No grain shall leave a public terminal point without being officially weighed, unless the owner or his agent orders otherwise.
The Act then speaks of a record to be kept of this grain, and then refers to the preservation of the identity of the grain, the clause reading:
The identity of each parcel or lot of western grain shipped to an eastern transfer elevator shall be preserved, except that different parcels or lots of the same grades may be binned together when there is not sufficient space in the elevator to keep the parcels or lots separate,
8. In no case, whether in a pub'io terminal elevator in the Manitoba inspection division or in an eastern transfer elevator, shall gr in of different grades be mixed together while in store.
Provision is also made to prevent the mixing of grain. Also in the Inspection and Sale Act, section 9, there is a provision that the inspector is to have control of the storage and shipping of grain, and shall keep proper records of all grain received into store in any terminal elevator, and the Act prevents the transfer of grain from one bin to another. Then it enumerates the powers which the inspector has with respect to the cleaning of grain in these elevators. So that the provisions of the Act passed last year, if enforced by proper and capable government inspectors would ensure just as good preservation of the grain at these terminals and give just

as much satisfaction as any system of government ownership.
Let me point out that every one in western Canada is not in favour of government ownership of terminal elevators. I do not believe that there is any great agitation among the farmers in that respect, although there is for the government ownership of elevators in the interior. I have yet, however, to find that there is any serious agitation for the government ownership of terminal and transfer elevators. I have here two or three opinions from western men on this very point to which I would like to refer. I have, for instance, the opinion of Mr. John Millar, who was chairman of the Grain Commission, and which opinion he expressed at the grain growers' convention at Weyburn on the 20th of February last:
The weights both in and out of the terminal elevators had been found to be satisfactory, but the grain going out seemed to contain rather too much extraneous matter as some of the cleaners were not of the best. It was pointed out that there was a tendency for the elevators to go into the hands of private companies who were themselves handling grain and the report of the commission had recommended that these and the transfer elevators farther east should be .placed under strict government control. This had been done and he believed the producer now had as much protection as government ownership would give him.
I also have here an opinion on the present situation from the Hon. D. W. R. Motherwell, Minister of Agriculture in Saskatchewan :
The government control secured over these elevators by amendment to the Grain Act last session by the federal parliament has given the producer practically every safeguard and security in the way of control which government ownership could possibly give.
There are just one or two points to which I shall refer briefly before taking my seat. There were certain arguments in favour of government ownership advanced at the grain growers' convention at Weyburn, which were practically the same as those put forward to-day by the hon. member for Souris (Mr. Schaffner). The first was that government supervision and control is objectionable because you cannot have proper supervision or effective control. But 1 reply that you would have proper supervision and effective control if the system were properly enforced, as I believe it will be if reasonable time be given the government to work it out.
The next objection is that the warehousemen should have no interest in manipulating the commodity he stores. In that opinion I agree, but I do not agree that to eliminate that interest we require to go the length of government ownership. We can put through legislation which will just as Mr. W. M. MARTIN.
effectively accomplish the same object. Another objection is that manipulation was going on at the terminal elevators before the last change in the Manitoba Act respecting the supervision of binning and is going on still. Well, no evidence has been produced to-night to show that manipulation is going on to-day. I may believe that it is, but before supporting such a radical measure as government ownership, I would require some evidence that these abuses were going on. These are the main objections raised to the present system of government control. At that convention there were many men who were in favour of government ownership of the interior elevators, but no one expressed himself regarding government ownership of terminal elevators to any extent. However the points to which I wish to refer briefly are these. It is said, and I believe truly, that there is a serious shortage in grain shipments going from Fort William and Port Arthur to eastern points, such as Owen Sound and Buffalo and others. It is said that the average shortage during the year 1908, after the grain was weighed by government inspectors, was 44 lbs. per 1,000 bushels from Fort William and Port Arthur as compared with 15 lbs. per 1,000 bushels from Chicago and 10 lbs. per 1,000 bushels from Duluth, and that the total shortage in shipments from these elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur this year amounts to 50,000 bushels. At present the men who ship that grain hold the vessel owners responsible, but the vessel owners claim they should not be responsible, although legally they are, owing to the manner in which the grain is weighed. That surely is a hardship to the vessel owners. I was present at a conference before the Minister of Trade and Commerce, in which the vessel owners, shippers, and grain men from Winnipeg appeared, and all agreed that this grain shortage must be m those elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur. Well, if these elevator companies are getting that 50,000 bushels, they are getting what they are not entitled to. According to the Manitoba Grain Act ^ and its amendments last year, they are entitled to a certain amount for binning and a certain amount for storage, but if they are getting that 50,000 bushels they are getting what does not belong to them. Some amendment should be introduced into the Manitoba Grain Act to provide that the surplus be taken over by the government and thus eliminate the question of personal gain. Another matter is that of screening. Before the inspector in Winnipeg grades a car of grain, he marks it so much dockage, sometimes two per cent, and sometimes more and sometimes less. The grain goes into

the elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur, and is supposed to be cleaned to whatever percentage of dockage was set. The elevator men get the screenings. I have heard the amount estimated last year all the way from 300,000 bushels to 1,400,000 bushels. On these screenings the farmers of the west have to pay freight, and they should not belong to the'elevator men, but should go to the producer or at least, the producer should be re-imbursed for his outlay in freight for what at present he gets no return. It is of course to the advantage of the warehouse men to take every possible bushel of screenings they can get. I am advised that they sold the screenings last year to one firm at $7 per ton and that firm retailed it at $16 per ton. But take the price at $7 a ton, and on 300,000 bushels, that amounted to $63,000. On 1,400,000 bushels, it would be five times that sum. Some legislation should be passed to the effect that the surplus screenings and grain found in the elevators at any time shall be confiscated and taken over by the government and thus you will eliminate the element of illegitimate gain which these elevators are getting at present.
I desire to refer in closing to what the Inspection and Sales Act provides with respect to the surplus of grain in the terminals. Subsection 7 of sec. 9 of chapter 36 of the Inspection and Sales Act of 1908 says that:
In the month of August in each year stock shall he taken of the quantity of each grade grain in the terminal elevators.
Why do not. they go a step further and say that the grain and the screenings found there shall belong to the government? I believe that these difficulties could be removed by these suggestions, and I hope that at some future day legislation of this kind will be introduced into this House. A very simple amendment would effect it, and I think it would cure a great majority of objections raised to the handling of grain in these elevators. I am as much interested as are the hon. member for Souris (Mr. Schaffner) and others from the west in seeing that a proper system is devised for handling the grain of our western	provinces.
I am interested in seeing that the producer, no matter how small a producer he may be, gets as much as the market will allow him at the time of sale. I am as much interested as these hon. gentlemen in seeing that no discrimination shall exist between small shippers and large shippers, or, if there is to be an advantage, that it shall be to the small shipper. I believe in the system of government control of these utilities, but I do not believe in the government going aside from its true duty and engaging in mercantile business. I believe that, at least, the government should 127
try in every way to regulate the grain trade of the west before they embark upon the management of terminal elevators and become grain men. As that is my belief, I will move an amendment to that effect, and in doing so I have every confidence that this government-which has been in power since 1896 and under which the Manitoba Grain Act has come into existence and under which the farmers of the west have the right to get cars and ship their own grain-if government control does not prove effective, will be ready to adopt such measures as they deem necessary from time to time to protect the grain interests of .western Canada. The amendment I move is as follows:
That all the words after ' that' be struck cut, and the following be substituted therefor:
The amendments of last session to the Grain Act whereby all transfer and terminal elevators were put under government oontrol have produced good results. Aud if, on further experience, it is found that the present system of supervision is not adequate to prevent the undue mixture of grain in such elevators, this House will be prepared to accept such further legislation as may be needed to that end.
In conclusion, I wish to refer to the fact that since September 1, 1908, only one complaint has been received by the Department of Trade and Commerce from men purchasing grain shipped through these elevators, anl this in contrast with the fact that many such complaints were received in former years. The complaint referred to was from t!ie Dominion Millers' Association, and I have here a short extract from that complaint. It will be observed that they go so far as to admit that there has been an improvement in the handling of the grain in these elevators, although they state it is not yet all it should be.
While there has been a oertain improvement in the grain as it comes from the public elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur since the government took closer control, yet we regret to say that matteis are not yet in a satisfactory condition.
If, under the present system, after it has been in existence but a few months the condition of things is better than before, there is every reason to believe that it will still further improve, especially when the system itself is improved as experience may indicate to be necessary.


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: Do I understand the amendment to say that the terminal elevators were put under government control?


James Kirkpatrick Kerr: all transfer and terminal elevators were
put under government control


Frederick Laurence Schaffner: That is not the case.


Mr. JOHN HERRON (Macleod).: Mr Speaker, I should not attempt to speak at any length either on this motion or on the amendment, but I wish to put myself on record so that the people of the west may know where I stand on this very important question. I am glad that the hon. member for Souris (Mr. Schaffner) has introduced this motion. I believe that no motion has ever been introduced into this House, no discussion has ever taken place in the House, of greater importance and interest to the farmers of the western prairies than this. I am much surprised at the hon. member for Regina (Mr. W. M. Martin) stating that the terminal elevators are now under government control. This is the first time I have heard such a statement made. I have always understood that there were government inspectors to supervise the taking in and shipping out of the grain, but so far as general government control is concerned, the idea is entirely new to me. The principal argument put forward by the hon. member on the other side against the government taking actual control of the terminal and transfer elevators seems to be that vested rights stand in the way. Well, I do not know what this House may think of that, but my personal opinion is that, if private corporations invest money in terminal elevators and they are not doing what is honest and just by the farmers, the government is perfectly justified in taking control, or in expropriating, or going into competition with them. And it is the general opinion of the western farmers that they are not getting justice in the terminal elevators. I have not had much experience in the handling of grain myself, and do not pretend to be an authority on the subject, but those from the west who were in the House a year ago, and who took a deep interest in the matter, know what went on before the Department of Trade and Commerce when representations were made by the delegation sent here from the Western Farmers' Associations. That delegation consisted of members from each of the provinces appointed by the different associations, and represented the entire grain growing interest of the three prairie provinces. No one could listen to their arguments without coming to the conclusion that it would be of great advantage to the western grain growers if the government would take over these elevators and control and operate them. I might suggest that, if vested rights are going to be a great obstacle in the way of taking control of the elevators at Port Arthur and Fort William and the transfer elevators further east, the government will have an opportunity to ex-Mr. SCHAFFNER.
periment on the Pacific coast. I understand that meetings have been held in Alberta and Saskatchewan recently which have taken up the question of shipping grain to Europe by the Pacific coast. There are no elevators there as yet, so there will be an opportunity for the government to step in and experiment with government-owned elevators. -From what I have heard from the farmers who laid the case before the' Minister of Trade and Commerce representing the government, I am led to believe that, if the government could see their way clear to take over these existing terminal elevators, they would be rendering one of the greatest services ever rendered to the farmers of the western country. They talk about one or two cents a bushel being taken from the farmers by the manipulation of wheat in these elevators. I have heard it stated that in many cases they take as high as seven cents a bushel from the farmers, at least the farmers think so, I do not know whether that is the case or not.


David Bradley Neely: Does the hon. gentleman refer to the terminal elevators?


John Herron: Yes, that they are making an undue charge at the terminal elevators at Port Arthur and Fort William; in -fact it is claimed that they are making almost double the charge they should make, at the terminal elevators in particular. The grain pays for all this. This House need not think that if the government take the action suggested by the resolution they would have to pay the expense, because the country would not be out by it. The grain is going to pay for all the handling, and even if the government did step in and operate the elevators five years as an experiment, no doubt some arrangement could be made by which the government would not be out a cent of money. I think this resolution is a step in the right direction, and I sincerely hope the government will accept it, and make an experiment of controlling and operating the terminal and other elevators on the great lakes.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: As the hour is late, I beg to move the adjournment of the debate.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to, and debate adjourned.

William Stevens Fielding: There are one or two motions on the Order Paper that I propose should be called, in case any hon. gentleman wishes to drop them. For instance, No. 4-the hon. member for Wentworth (Mr. Sealey) is not here, but I understood he wished to drop the resolution, in order that he may bring the matter up in another way.

On the order:
That in the opinion of this House, so long as the Canadian tariff affords, incidentally or otherwise, a considerable degree of protection to manufacturers, some protection may fairly and properly be afforded by our tariff to Canadian agriculturists and stock raisers upon hogs, hog products, garden vegetables and such other items as it may appear possible to so protect with advantage to the agriculturist, end without undue injury to the Canadian consumer.-Mr. Sealey.


William Stevens Fielding: Dropped.
On the order:
For a copy of all memorials, reports, correspondence, and documents in the possession of tne Department of Marine and Fisheries, in the Department of Trade and Commerce and in any other department, relating to the route of the winter steamers between Prince Edward Island and the mainland of Canada, and suggesting and recommending a change or changes in the said route and an increase in the number of trips daily of such winter steamers. Also a copy of all memorials, reports, correspondence and documents relating to the route of the summer mail steamers between Charlottetown and the mainland of Canada, and suggesting or recommending a change or changes in that route, and an increase in the number of trips daily of such summer mail steamers, and also with regard to connecting such suggested new summer route or routes with a point or points on the Intercolonial Railway.-Mr. Warburton.


Mr. WARBURTON.: Dropped.
Mr. FIELDING moved the adjournment of the House.


Richard Blain: Will the Grand Trunk Pacific resolution come up to-morrow?


William Stevens Fielding: Later in the day. We propose to begin the day's work by concurrence and a Supply Bill. If that be disposed of early we will take up the Grand Trunk Pacific resolutions.
