FRIDAY, NOVEMBER IA, 1911.
ONTARIO'S EXPERIMENT.

a new government takes charge of
the province of Ontario today. 1t is a
unique government because it is com
posed almost wholly of farmers and la
borers. The premier, elected by the
United Farmers and a farmer himself
who has had no experience in a legis-
lative body, has selected the following
cabinet:
Premier and president of the council.
+. c. Drury; minister of agriculture,
Manning Doherty, farmer; minister of
education, R. H. Grant, farmer; min
lister of lands and forests, Beniah Bow
man. farmer; minister of public works,
+. C. Biggs, farmer; minister of mines.
Harry Mills, laborer; minister of la
Dor and health, Walter Rolo, laborer:
attorney general, w. T. Nickel, attor.
ney; provincial secretary, II. C. Nixon.
farmer; provincial treasurer Peter
smith; without portfolio, Lieut.. Col G.
Carmichael.
One unusual feature of the selection
of this Cabinet is the claim of the prem
Ter that he has not been asked to give
any man a portfolio, but has been free
TO make his own selection for every DO
sltion. The whole responsibility, there.
fore, rests on Premier Drury. One natur.
ally wonders at his judgment in select
ing farmers for lines of work with
which they must have little familiar
ty. Vermonter would hesitate be-
fore placing the department Of educa
tion in the hands of a farmer, the de
partment of health in the hands of a
broommaker or public works in charge
of a farmer
The farmers in the cabinet are gen
orally educated men, several of them
being graduates of good agricultural
colleges, but the minister of mines ran
q locomotive until his election to the
legislature and previous to that was 3
pick and shovel artist in Wales. So
some of the men seem poorly fitted for
the important positions to which they
have been chosen and the whole com
bination is one that will be watched
with interest. We hope the province of
Ontarion will be better served by its
farmer and labor government than the
state of North Dakota has been by its
Farmers league.

FOUR PROVISIONS ADOPTED.
House Making Progress on Esch Rail.
road Bill.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-Four i'm
portant points of the railroad reorganiza-
ton legislation were settled by the house
yesterday during consideration of the Esch
railroad bill. Each provision approved
has far reaching effects in providing CAPT
tai TO the carriers, both in the period i'm
medlately following government control
and afterward With one exception all
of the provisions provoked sharp fights,
but only one was changed In brief the
provisions approved by the house are:
Carriers muct ask the interstate COM
meree commission for general increases OF
rates within go days after their return to
private operation
Revenues of carriers, including short
lines and express companies, for the first
SIX months of private operation are guar
anteed by the government to equal the
corresponding standard return paid as
rental by the government during federal
control
Carriers Indebtedness to the govern
ment, remaining after a settlement of
the rental owed by the government, may
be funded for 10 years on demand notes
at per cent interest
CARRIERS may obtain government loans
from S250,000,000 revolving fund during
the first two years of renewed private op-
Grafton, such loans TO mature in five
years, bear per cent interest and to be
secured.
Under the plan for arranging the car
riers' Indebtedness to the government, the
amount is cut from S775 ISL 900 by $780,
O0o,Oo0, through offsetting what the gov
eminent owes for rental against the CAPT
tai Indebtedness indicated above. Pro-
ponents said this plan would reduce the
amount congress win have to appropriate
IN order to square accounts with the rail-
roads at the end OF this year TO sl7l, 0O0,-
900.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

The house of representatives hopes
on Saturday to pass the Esch railroad
reorganization bill, probably somewhat
amended Then the bill will be sen.
to the senate where the Cummins bill
IS waiting for disposal of the peace
treaty before it can be considered. The
expectation is the senate will pass the
Cummins bill in some form and Their
there will be two bills which must be
dissected and formed into new com
bination. what the combination viii
be cannot be foretold and doubtless
1t will be a long time before any meas
ure is finally passed.
Labor is opposed to both bills, but.
strange to say, prefers the Cummins
bill with straight prohibition of strikes
by railroad laborers and board to adj
just disputes between employers dnd
employees to the Esch bin which does
not prohibit strikes, but holds both
employers and unions responsible for
strikes or loekouts. The chief exesn-.
tivcs of thirteen organizations of rail-
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1919-11-14

way workers and three of the four
principal railroad brotherhoods have
publicly opposed the return of the rail
ways to private control and declare
that both bills aim s'to shackle labor. -
The railway unions oppose the plac-
ing of any responsibility upon their la
Dor organizations. They want to strike
when and how they please and have
the public suffer the inconvenience and
risk of having food supplies cut off on
the least provocation. Congress viii be
foolhardy to attempt to desert the pub
lie on such an issue and undoubtedly
when the bill is finished the country
will have some protection from the die
tatorship of irresponsible and radical
labor leadership.

The MeddIer


There was an interesting discussion
at the recent meeting of War Chest as
ISOLATION officers as to just what fur
Their steps ought to be taken toward
collecting pledges which remain unpaid
and what the final attitude of the asso-
citation should be toward those who re-
fuse to meet their obligations. 1t is gen
orally conceded that the delinquent list
includes the names of good many per
sons whose reasons for not paying are
sufficient to release them from further
responsibility, and these. of course,
should be spared any publicity, but on
the other hand there is a considerable
number who have paid no attention
whatever to the letters which have been
sent ont by the committee named to
take charge of the outstanding ne
counts. Not only have they refused to
name any date ON which it would be
convenient for them to make payments.
but they have either failed to comply
with the committees suggestion that a
reason why they should not pay be stat
ed or have advanced excuses which do
not seem to be valid.
The claim that the War Chest does
not need the money which these delin-
quent pledges represent is hardly worth
consideration in view of the circum-
stances under which they were made In
fact, the concern of War Chest officials
over these unpaid pledges is less on ac-
count of the actual money they repre-
sent than because of what their re-
pudiation means, not only to the ma
jority of subscribers, who paid what
they promised to on the assumption
that everyone else would do likewise.
but to the community at large. Is it
fair to the people who paid their war
burdens that they should not know the
names of those WHO for no good reason
refused to pay9 The Meddler believes
that every subscriber to the War Chest
not only has direct personal inter
est in its conduct but right to know
just who among those who agreed to
contribute did not live up to their
agreements.
1t may be argued that publicity along
this line would not bring any further
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1919-11-14

funds into the War Chest treasury and
might possibly arouse antagonism that
would affect future campaigns for pub
he causes, but 1t is a serious question
whether the pledge of any person who
has repudiated his War Chest obliga.
ton for no good reason would be con
sldered worth a cent in any future
drive. On the other hand, if every
War Chest subscriber is not given a
chance to inform himself concerning the
slackers IN the organization he might
well have misgivings about the value
of any like movement in the future.
AT the conclusion of the drive which
secured pledges amounting to nearly
$4,000 for war activities the cam
palgn was referred to as ''perhaps the
most remarkable civic enterprise in the
towns history" and the generous re-
spouse of persons of limited means was
called one of the outstanding factors
IN the result. In fairness to the hun-
dreds of persons who made and have
paid these pledges it would seem as if
they ought to be told the plain facts
about the few who have repudiated
their promises apparently for no other
good reason than that it seemed cheaper
than paying up.
