This public report is never referred
to by the speakers and writer's who tell
us how beautifully the Ontario idea
has worked out.
Neither do they tell us that the COM
mittce report shows that taxes for all
purposes in every city of Ontario are
twice as high as they are in the ad-
joining province of Quebec.
Nor do they tell us that Ontario leg
islature was compelled to pass an ap-
preparation to pay back to the farmers
| one-half the cost of the transmission
lines serving the farm districts.
| Nor that only $500 horsepower is
used on farms in Ontario out Of the
100000 horsepower developed.
Nor that the farming industry in
Ontario is declining so rapidly that the
Ontario legislature had to appoint this
Especial committee to curb the activity
of the hydro commission, lest it depop-
ulate the farming regions Of the pro-
vince. No farming community should
be mislcd into the hopes that cheap
city rates will, by this amendment, be
extended to them.
| Sections Nv, V, and VI are of the
same general tenor and should be con-
sidercd together, though there are
4" jokers" here and there. The sections
treat of the formation of the finance
committee, provide bond issue of five
hundred million dollars, the greatest
sum ever appropriated for any purpose
by any state or nation except for war,
and the manner in which the bonds
shall be handled.
The finance committee is to be polit-
zeal in complexion with only two mem.
! bers independent of the chairman OF
the Water and Power Board, who is al
so a member Of the finance committee.
The amendment directs that upon the
resolution and rcquisition of the Water
| and Power Board, the finance commit
tee "must' issue and sell bonds. The
| clause is so written that Innadamus
proceedings will lie only in a petition
to enforce the language of the amend.
ment and compel the board to issue and
sell bonds. No mandamus proceedings
4 will lie on petition to prevent the
| committee from issuing and selling
bonds, as IL has now power to initiate
such a proceeding without resolution

Tbcre are those in California who dc"

and Power Amendment at the next
General election. This is such DIRE
Feasibility that friends of the amend
ment are wondering if they have ere
ated a Frankcnstein for their own
lundoing.
| Friends of the amendment refer to
the province of Ontario, Canada, as a
lease proving what win happen IN Cai-
lifornia. If the proposed amendment
were drawn as the Ontario act IS
drawn, il might not be so obJectionapic
for the Ontario Parliament makes all
anpropriations, and the Ontario act mas
been amended many times by TINS par
lament. If the Ontario Hydro Com
mission IS operations have been so sue
ecssful why was special committee OF
the Ontario legislative assembly ap-
pointed,
.'to devise a more equitable sys-
! tenn for the distribution of hydro
electric power!'
This committcce reported in Novem-
II Der 1921 that:
"Pp. LESS than one per cent
of the power developed is supplied
TO the agricultural industries. On,
ly the most favorably situated
farm districts have yet been
served, and "a general extension OF
| farm service under the present
system, would mean that the cost
of power to the agricultural indus
try would be at least double the
cost Of power to other industries
and to urban municipalities.
"Pp. Eff other industries can
not afford to pay the additional
rental, then service at cost to rural
municipalities is not practical IN ;
asmucl as the burden of taxation
upon farm lands in the Province is
already all that can reasonably be
borne..''
"Pp. 5-AThc luxuries and con
ycnicnecs which electric light and
power bring to home would do
much to induce farmers TO remain
