order OF the Transit Commission at the
rate Of $3.50 day. 1t is q scandalots
waste of public funds for the commits
sion TO continue its farcical so-cal!ed
investigation into bus operation by the

These so-called public hearings by

II am glad to see that Mayor Hylan
has stopped making one misstatement,
viz, that the commissions comprehen-
sive plan involved the purchase Of tram
sit properties by the city. In dropping
this charge and falling back on new
one, which now appears for the first
time, some one has fallen into an
egregious error. In this latest state

commission proposes that the city shall
guarantee interest on private bonds is

that under the law the commission has
the power to compel the Board of EST

the novice has almost an equal op-
portunity with the farmer of life
time.
A census of Canadian farmers would
probably show that fully one-half are
not farmers sons and were not
brought up to the life Of the farm. Yet
none would criticize Canada's farmers
on the score of poor farming methods
in general, the excelIency of their
crops with international honOrs and the
universal demand for their livestock
products refuting this effectually Sig
nificant is it, too, that practically all
the farmers who have achieved the
most signal honors at international
farming competitions have not been
lifelong farmers, but city men who,
taking to the land after reaching ma
turity without the remotest previous
knowledge of agricultural activities,
have through intelligent study and
close application of the best farming
methods surpassed the efforts of those
agricuturists who have continued do
