Protect Our Agriculture

Just as soon as the speculative mar
ket pushes the price Of grain up to a
profitable figure, somebody starts the
movement of having wheat put on the
free list SO that the Canadian wheat
can be brought over the border in
competition with the grain of our
own farmers. 1t certainly is a hard
ship on the poor consumers in the
cities to have to pay six cents a loaf
for bread, but what is his loss is our
farmers gain and the money Is kept
at home, whereas all money spent in
importation of grain is money sent
out of the country and cannot do
this country any good.
We believe in protection of home
Industries even If that industry is an
agricultural one. The forced price

CRAIG SHARPENs
Ak FOR BUDGET
Prepared To Slash Board of Educa,
ton Estimates-Smith Pushes
Plan For New Police Station.

Woodbridge-st police station will
shelter more city officials next Satur-
day night than ever before at ono
time In it's long history OF service
Police Commissioner Smith has In
vited the members OF the board Of
estimates to visit the old central pre-
cinct station that night after their
meeting.
The reason for this call is that tho
commissioner believes the old station
is unsanitary and disgrace to the
city and he wants new station al.
lowed. or at the least enough money
to purchase the site for one. Satur-
day night Is the time when most un-
iortunates are brought to this station.
Work really begins on the estimates
this week although the police commit
tee has done some work, agreeing to
the increase In salaries for truani
officers and precinct detectives. while
the other items In which there Is no
increase have also. been favorably
rassed on. This committee will visit
the stations, Saturday morning. We'd
fire commission fund visits the east
side houses and, Friday. 1t goes TO tho
west side houses.
Tuesday afternoon, the public build
ing fund committee meets to 60 over
the budget. The sewers, poor CON-
mission and health board committees
and that On schools are also expected
to get busy until next week.
A big contest Is expected over the
school board budget as Chairman
Craig has already expressed himself
as of the opinion that that board has
been given too much money In past
years. The council. in committee OF
the whole, replaced number Of items
In this budget which the claims and
accounts committee had cut out.
Estimator Delor, OF the Seventh
ward, Is one OF those who believe that
a new central police station Is nee
esity.
Anyone has but 10 go through it to
come to that opinion" he says. The
old building is in need Of remodeling.
Properly altered, think 1t would be
a good place for the confinement Of
juveniles, for the Juvenile court and
Cor detective headquarters. II would
be a good thing to have the detective
separate from the other branches OF
the police force. Their work is differ.
ent and this change would be for the
benefit OF the department. The new
station could be nearer the jail and
police court, property, there being a
number OF comparatively cheap and
oond sifae available"
