I'VE hope the ultimate result will be cOnstruc-
tive. The exhibition OF abuses has only been
step. 1t was necessary to exhibit them in order
to correct them. The work OF the committee
has not been destructive, except SO far as it will
be destructive to abuses.
1T has not hit at life insurance. 1t has mere
" exposed the abuses that have grown up in life
insurance, to the end that they might be cor
rected for all time to come"
Has sufficient public sentiment been aroused
to insure the passage of corrective legislation ?"
The effect has been tremendous not only
done something to awaken the conscience OF the
American people. Entirely apart from lcgisla-
ton we have aroused spirit that seems to give
hope that the American people have come into
their own. In the future they will demand bet
ter standards in both our financial and political
affairs"
Mr.. Hughes paused.
Il do not want to appear Oracular, and lWould
prefer others to speak, he added, "but | may
say have been impressed with the letters that
are pouring in from all over the Union. They all
show that the American people demand that
corporate business shall hereafter be conduct
ed squarely and with clean balance sheet.
1T does not make any difference how men
cloak themselves. what their wealth position
may be, the people now demand that they show
a clean set OF books. The people who in the
future achieve what we call success must show
clean hands and methods that will stand nvesti-
cation

created, and the American people are coming
into their own"

Huqhes Talks OF Results

"What IS the policy-holder going to get out of
it? Is there going to be any material benefit in
the present any Jacquard for the future, to the
countless thousands of men and women who
have paid their money into the big life insur-
ance companies as a result OF the Legislative
investigation and the startling revelations that
have been dragged from the lips OF unwilling
witnesses"
These questions the Inquirer put to the men
best able to answer them-Chares f. Hughes,
the lawyer whose relentless and almost wizard
like questioning has unmasked state of affairs
that has stirred the financial and political world
to a constant foment OF expanatons-tha do
not always explain.
while it would not be proper to forecast the
report of the committee, which will shortly be
prepared for presentation, | can safely predict
that the result will be of incaculable benefit to
the policy-holder.

He expended his own money to attain
this end and he did not spend it vainly.
Today the Last Mountain country, lying
IN the very heart Of the southern
part of the Saskatchewan valley, is
the. Mecca of thousands of home
seekers from the United States
Among these thousands are hundreds of
American farmers whose years of train
ing has developed their Judgment in
agricultural matters and who echo Mr..
Pearson s early pronouncement that the
Last Mountain valley contains and is
made up of the most productive wheat
lands in the world. r
Mr.. Pearson did not spend his money
vainly on the first settlers who came
into this country, altho houses and sup
plies for men, horses and feed for them
had to be bought, as there was not
roof or a rag Of canvas to cover home
seekers save that which the sturdy en-
|pire builder supplied. Mr.. Pearson has
peopled the country that was wilder
ness when his eyes first fell upon it and
today, what was then desert waste is
dotted with farms and filled with hap
by, prosperous people, He is selling his
land at SO an acre and his offices in
Winnipeg, Regina and elsewhere are
filed every day with incoming land
seekers. The success of the hundreds Of
satisfied farmers who have already set
tied in the Last Mountain valley will
bring thousands of other settlers until
the whole great stretch Of country shall

LAST MOUNTAIN VALLEY -. r.
PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.
Correspondence of The Journal.

Special Correspondence Of The Journal.
Winnipeg, Manitoba, April 2O.-The
story Of William Pearson is the story of
Western Canada. Years hence, when
historians are at work on the story of
this great country, they will write down
the name Of the big land operator of
Winnipeg as an "empire builder''-
one of those rare individuals who have
confidence in their own Judgment and in
the possibilities of what are known to-
day as the great Northwestern Terri
tories.
: Years ago Mr.. Pearson rode over the
Last Mountain valley country. He
knew good wheat land when he saw it,
and altho there were no friends to
whom he could turn for advice, since
neither friend nor stranger knew more
than he Of the matter in question, he
bought up an enormous acreage
:; From the very first the land looked
good to him, and he had come to have
faith in his own ideas. He drove and
walked over the district, prospected,
staked, looked at it and felt Of it, and
then in the end decided that the Last
Mountain valley was not only ideal for
colonization, but that some day it would
be known as the greatest wheat land in
the world.
To be sure this was only a beginning
He knew that he must spend thousands
Of dollars to get people to see the posi-
bilities Of the Last Mountain valley as
he saw them, to induce farmers to come
as settlers and prove that the fields
