sweeping England and has reached a stage where it is overwhelming the doctors in attendance on patients.It is, however, of comparatively mild character.(Special to The Kecord) OTTAWA, ONT., March 5.\u2014Progressives are ready to support progressive measures whenever such measures come before the House.If the Government is prepared to present these measures for our consideration, they know they will get our support.\u201cIf they do not, then they will have to take the consequences.\u201d Thus, Robert Forke, Progressive leader, stated to the House yesterday the attitude of the Progressives towards the Government.He thought high protection, if persisted in, would spell ruin to the country, and, in illustration of the farmers\u2019 difficulties, said that in 1912, ten fleeces from sheep would buy a suit of clothes.Now, thirty-one fleeces were needed to buy the same suit.Mr.Forke declared the country demanded economy, yet pressed for the \u201cright kind\u201d of economy.Construction of the Hudson Bay Railway could not be \u201cdowned.\u201d The West was determined to have the Hudson Bay Railway built, ind Mr.Forke believed it would be built in the not far distant, future.Mr.Forke suggested that the sales tax be removed from farm implements, adding the' it would not V a bad move >o take it off, \u201call ai m.\" the line.\u201d He thought, also, it might be well to have a parliamentary committee\u2014representative of all parties\u2014to take matters affecting the Canadian National Railways under its care.Following Mr.Forke there was an orientiation.J.S.Woodsworth, leader of the labor group, had some sharp comments to make in connection with the Cape Breton strike.He took up the trial of J.B.McLachlan, labor leader, sentenced to two years for seditious libel, and charged that McLachlan had been taken to Halifax to face judges who, \u201cup to the time of their connection with the bench had been dosely connected with the coal companies.\u201d The western freight rates issue will be thrown again in to the parliamentary mill this session.Premier King announced that the committee to investigate the Home Bank would inquire into the record of the bank down to the time when it tuspended payment.DECLARES CANADA SHOULD HAVE ST.LAWRENCE RIVER DEEPENED\u2014WOULD PROCEED AT ONCE WITH THE SCHEME Ir.W\u2019oodsworth added that Nova tia workers pointed that Hon.E.sDonald, the Minister of Defence, ), \u201cis responsible for the troops ig sent to Cape Breton,\u201d had n, if he were not still, the solic-for the coal companies; and Mr.odsworth advocated appointment i parliamentary committee to in-tigate the British Empire Steel poration.V.F.MacLean, (Conservative) ith York, at the evening sitting.1 the two party system would er return.He urged Canadians watch the coming election in the ited States as indicative of the itical revolutions now going on in English speaking world.1 peaking of the St.Lawrence wat-ay, Mr.MacLean said that al-ugh Montreal was opposed to the eme, Canada should have the 3t.vrence deepened or the United tes would build a canal across ,v York State and divert the traf-in that direction.Ir.MacLean was in favor of pro-iing at once with the scheme, ting that it could be done in the ie manner as the Panama canal, hin two years.\u2019he Government should set an expie in the reduction of the cost living by putting postage, tele-ph, express and railway fares k to pre-war basis.This would be n more important than reform the civil service.An export duty nickel, of which Canada had the ¦Id\u2019s visible supply, would be a sonable thing.Since the United tes had seen fit to put a prohibi-¦ tariff on Canadian wheat Can-might also retaliate with an ex-t duty on pulpwood and thereby ie about $100,000,000 per year.Bank Reform Necessary axes on luxuries should be in-»scd and on the necessaries of life reased.The principle of non-tax-s Government securities should abolished.Ir.MacLean said that bank re-m was necessary in Canada, iks should be asked to accept a eral reserve system such as ob-icd in the United States, and Na- tional notes issued by the Government should replace all the bank notes now circulated in Canada.The Home Bank depositors had a very good excuse for asking for relief in the same manner that the Province of Quebec has protected bank depositors, continued Mr.Mae-Lean.All bank notes in circulation should be National notes, and although the Dominion had issued otes the hanks had held them back, -iving preference to those of their own issue.Losses From Forest Fires.A.J.Lewis, Progressive, Swift Current, pointed out the tremendous losses which the country was suffering from forest fires.The great heritage of our forests should be protected at all costs.Mr.Lewis stated that there was a great wastage in the use of newsprint by newspaper publishers.He suggested an export duty on pulpwood, as one means of protecting Canada against depletion of forests.He regretted to observe the extravagances resulting from party polities.The National leaders of this country should be outlining great reforms and platforms rather than differing over lesser points.Mr.Lewis was of the opinion that lower freight rates should be possible with revenues on the National Railways improving.The Canadian National might be the immediate means of helping to make the farm pay.Living conditions must be improved to keep people on the farms of the West.Providence was bestowing bountiful crops.The Canadian people and their Government must do their share to improve conditions.He said that in his own municipality of small population, eighty people hi^\u2019e moved out in one year.No immigrants that could possibly be obtained would take the place of Canadians.It was all a question of how to keep people in the West, Herbert Marier, (St.Lawrenco-St.George) adjourned the debate.The house adjourned until Thursday afternoon.«$.\t*;* *;?-y

had not been fully carried out.Provided the necessary work of the country was carried on, and due precaution taken to prevent interference vyjth such necessary deyel-ment .the whole House, he thought, would applaud any effort the Government might make.To permit members properly to study thenn the estimates should be brought down early, and the supplementary estimates should not be left to the dying days of the session.STILL OPPOSED TO HIGH TARIFFS.The Progressive group in the House was still opposed to high tariffs.Full exchange of .goods between countries was essential to trade, Canada could not expect to sell wheat to-*puntries from which she bought nothing.A high protective tariff simply shut Canada off from her markets.Mr.Forke had been much amused recently, he said, to read a magazine article bv the president of the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Asso* dation under the heading, \u2018How to make farming pay,\u2019 which proposed to solve the farmers \u2019problems by increasing the tariff.Sixty years of high tariffs had not solved these problems.As regards the Progressive attitude to reduction or abolition of duties on farm impleemnts.Mr.Farke would rather see a general reduction which would benefit ail classes of Canadians.The Progress-sives did not wish to see selfish about the tariff.\u201cIt would not be a bad idea.\u201d he said, \u201cto dismiss the sales tax on agricultural implements.\u201d Mr.Meighen interrupted to ask: \u201cWhy not dismiss the sales tax altogether?\u201d Mr.Forke said: \u201cI would not object to that either.\u201d \u201cIf manufacturers in Canada.\u201d he asserted, \u201cwould agree to free trade on farm implements, it would tend to create a neyv interest in the Canadian-made article and bring renewed prosperity to Canadian makers of implements.\u201d This bought a murmur of dissent from the Conservative benches.Mr.Forke continued that if he read quotations from some Conservative members concerning the duties on agricultural implements, it would be revealed that they ha.; apaprentiy changed their mind.They had every right to do so.\u201cI might.Have referred to a speech made by the leader of the Opposition, (Mr.Meighen), at Portage La Prairie, when he vefsrred to the ram!T,ar*s of gold behind which the manufacturers were en trenched.But he also has ever/ right to change his mind.\u201d Mr.Meighen\u2014\u201cThat speech was made in this House.At that time the duty was very much higher, being under the Government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier.\" Mr.Forke\u2014\u2018Hf the Right Hon.gentleman would make such a speech in this House, I wonder what he would say at Portage-La-Prairie.\u201d DEBATE ON ADDRESS FROM THRONE OPENED IN SENATE; SAYS GOVERNMENT REDUCED EXPENDITURE $30,000,000 Seventy-fifth Annual Meeting of the Provincial Grand Orange Lodge of Quebec Held Here Yesterday\u2014Hon.Dr.J.H.Edwards, Ex-M.P., Was Principal Speaker at Banquet Held in Evening \u2014 New Officers Elected.BRAN OKCPk'WWMWW ms* Set yourself straight on these Bran facts?If you eat bran it la because you seek relief from constipation nml toxlo poisoning!

OTTAWA, Ont., March 5.\u2014 Debate on the address /opened in the Senate yesterday and will be continued today, Ash Wednesday, a day over which the Lower House has decided to adjourn.Senator Pardee and Senator Cole, mover and seconder of the address, had congratulations for the Govern- j ment.The speech from the throne, said Senator Pardee, reflected much optimism.Relief from excessive tax- | ation was necessary to the prosperity of the country, especially in view of reduced taxation in the United j States.He hoped the Senate would take a \u201cbroader view\u201d of the Canadian Na- ; tional branch lines bill, which was ' again to be submitted.Senator Cole urged the importance of a revision of the tax sale in order , to remove certain inequities.Sir James Lougheed, Conservatve ' leader, could not endorse Senator Pardee\u2019s approval of the branch lines bill.He proceeded that the Government appeared to be ignorant of the condition in the country and had made j no effort during the past two years ¦ to reduce either expenditure or tax-1 ation.The late Government had : started civil service reform in thô j printing bureau, customs department | and post office.The present Gov- j ernment had not continued this work, and h^d ben forced into what they were now doing by public opinion.The Government had pyramided both taxation and expenditures.Sir James instanced what had been done in other countries in regard to debt reduction and curtailing of expenditure.In Canada taxation was retarding progress, strangling industry and destroying trade, and all was the result of the Government extravagance.The worst feature of the Dominion Government was that it was setting the pace in extravagance for the provinces and municipalities.If this was not stopped it would result in national disaster.Sir James claimed the Government machinery was antiquated, and was unable to deal with the problems which confronted the country.The West was seething with discontent.The Government should do ns was done in the United States and Great Britain and call in prominent and experienced men to assist in remodeling the machinery of government.It could not be done from within.The new audit hoard would be equally helpless.He suggested that the Government borrow experts from the railways and financial institutions to assist them.Reduced Expenditures.Senator Dandurand, Government leader, replied that the Government hud reduced expenditure thirty million dollars in the first fiscal year they were in office.They had been left with an uncontrollable expenditure of $308,000,000, and yet had reduced the controllable expenditure to less than pre-war days, and after two years would have a balanced budget.With a balanced budget the Government would reduce taxation.Already the Government had reduced the civil service by 3,059, and he believed more reductions would be made.In compiling the estimates for the year every consideration had been given.Great reductions had been made and there would be no unnecessary expenditure.While there was some uneasiness throughout the land, the general conditions in production were good, in transportation improved, unemployment lessened, public finance bettered, national income increased the national expenditure decreased.Salaries Higher in U.S.In dealing with the emigration from Canada to the United States, Senator Dandurand said salaries had been largely increased in that country, and were a great temptation to our people.The immigration law in the United States also made a shortage of labor in that country.The dissatisfaction in rural Canada was due to low prices for products and high prices for what, they had to buy.Artisan wages in cities and towns had also had a disturbing effect on rural life.Even with this, Canada was in a better condition than any other country in the world.Senator Dandurand stated that the farmers were crying for a new tariff, believing it raised prices, and manufacturers were clamoring for still more protection.There were many conflicting interests even among the manufacturers.It was no easy matter to frame a tariff.The special interests of the East had defeated reciprocity and created a third party in Ihe West.Senator Dandurand adjourned the debate.APPOINTS COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE CIVIL SERVICE (Auociated Press Despatch) OTTAWA, March 5.\u2014On motion of Senator Dandurand the Senate 'yesterday appointed a committee to investigate the civil service.TAX WOULD ENABLE GOVERNMENT TO PAY HOME BANK LOSSES (Associated Press Despatch) TORONTO, Mar.5.\u2014A bill is to be introduced in the Federal Parliament to impose a tax of one per cent or two per cent on the $250,-000,000 circulation of the chartered bank of Canada.This was the announcement of R.A.Reid, counsel for a number of shareholders, during argument yesterday before Charles Garrow, master of the Supreme Court on the question of the call for double liability on shareholders of the Home Bank.This bill may be introduced in a week or ten days, he said.He pointed out that a tax of one per cent would yield $2,500,000, while a tax of two per cent would yield double that amount.On the strength of that tax, he was advised, tho government could borrow from seven to ten million dollars.Mr, Reid understood that the proposal was to continue tho tax permanently as an insurance fund for bank depositorn for all time.From the money so secured the Home Bank losses could be met and liquidated at once and the depositors thus protected while the shareholders would then be relieved of having to pay any double liability, de- The Orange Lodges from practically every organized county in the Province of Quebec were represented by delegates at the seventy-fifth annual meeting of the Provincial Grand Orange Lodge of Quebec, which was held here yesterday.The sessions opened at ten o\u2019clock yesterday morning in the lodge room» in the Odell block, and lasted until after twro o\u2019clock this mornin.During the morning and afternoon sessions reports of various natures were received qnd discusned.Upon the concluion of the afternoon sessions, the delegates adjourned to the Masonic Temple, where a banquet was served, and where addresses w'ere made by several officers of the Grand Lodge, principal among them being the address of the Hon.Dr.J.H.Edwards, Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of British America.Following the banquet, the delegates returned to the lodge rooms for the election of officers and the discussion ofnewbusiness.In the absence of Grand Master Radmore, the Rev.J.W.Shier, Deputy Grand Master, presided at the business sessions.Following the morning and afternoon sessions of the Grand Lodge, a banquet was held at the Masonic Temple at which some sixty delegates and visitors were present.T.C.Thompson, Provincial Grand Lecturer, and Master of Sherbrooke County Orange Lodge, presided.He welcomed the visitors to Sherbrooke, and called upon the principal speaker of the evening, Dr.J.H.Edwards, Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of British America, to respond to the toast to the Grand Lodge of British America.Dr.Edwards in his addres denied that he had ever, during his political career dr at any other time, uttered one word against the religion of any man.\u201cI came from the most dominantly English speaking province or the Dominion to the other great province which is dominantly French speaking, and 1 want to convey from the English speaking majority oi Ontario greetings to those who constitute the majority in Quebec, as well as to those who contitute the majority in Quehon.a well as to those of Anglo-Saxon origin.Persistent Misrepresentation.\u201cThe Grand Lodge of British America was inaugurated at Brock-ville on January 1st, 1830.There-^ fore, there are only about six years : to go before the centenary of ths Grand Lodge.There were thousands of Orangemen in Canada be-1 fore the iauguration of the Grand j Lodge, however.There never has 1 been or never will be an organiza-! tion in this country which has been subjected to such persistent and | malicious misrepresentation bj\u2019 its j enemies of the Orange order.Nor i has there been so thoroughly misunderstood and unappreciated by those Protestants who ought to be its champions and friends.\u201cFor reasons best known to those who advance them, the order has been called narrow, bigoted, fanatical and uncharitable.Members ! pf the order are grossly misre-| presented, as I know from personal | experience and I want to say for myself, as well as for every Orangemen in British America, that I have never uttered one word against the religion of any man.I have never felt the inclination to do so.I have no desire to place obstacles in the path of any man who chooses to reach Heaven.But where, we do differ in drawing the line is outlined in the motto: \u2018Equal rights for all and special privileges for none.\u2019 For one hundred years we have persisted in opposing the granting of special privileges to any class, race or creed in the Dominion.We ourselves have never obtained one single favor from anv government in Canada.We are consistent at all events.\u201cWe have raised over one million dollars in six of the nine pro vinces for charitable work carried on in Orange homes and orphanages.Wo have cared for thousands of little children deprived of their parents.Surely that is a work which would commend our order to any person.Loyalty Demonstrated.\u201cWe have been accused of bigotry.People are disposed to sneer at our use of the word \u2018loyal.\u2019 This is best answered by the thousands _of graves in France and Flanders filled by members of our order.W\u2019e have demonstrated our loyalty.When war broke out scores of oui Orange lodges were recruiting centres for enlisting men.And in 1914.when the tide of battle was against us and thousands of people from the battle zones took tfifyge m England, our lodges became centres to collect money and clothing to send to Europe to aid the Roman Catholic refugees driven from P\u2019rance ajid Belgium.Wo did not ask what their religion or race was.We simply did our duty.\u201cWhat we have done will indicate to you the calls which may be made upon the order in years to come.Therefore we make this an-peal to the Protestants of British America.For the first time in a hundred years we are making a grand appeal for assistance in raising in the next three years an endowment fund of one million dol lars so that we will have an insured income of $50,000 to carry on the work of the order.We can ask for support without apolçgy-Ontario is the Keystone.\u201cWith regard to our British citizenship in Canada.66 per cent of Canada\u2019s total population.Is to be found in the four provinces east of the river Ottawa and in the four provinces west of Ojjtario.Only forty-four out of every hundred people in these eight provinces are of British origin.38 per cent of Canada\u2019s total population lies in the four provinces east of the Ottawa.How is that population divided?61 per cent are of French origin; 35 per cent are of British origin, and the other 4 per cent are of various foreign nationalities.In the four western provinces, 28 per cent of the total population is found.Of this 60 per cent is British; 36 per cent is of various foreign nationalities, and 5 per cent is French.In the eight provinces, only 42 per cent is of British origin, 37 pdr cent is of French origin and the balance are foreign.Between the four provinces to the west and the four to the east lies the Province of Ontario, occupying much the same position as the keystone in the arch over tho door.Ontario is the keystone in the arch of confederation.77 per cent of the people of Ontario are British.Fifty years ago 82 per cent were British and 4 per cent were French.Now 8 per cent of the population is of French origin, \u201cI am merely establishing these points to show the situation.You know what will happn to the arch of masonry if you destroy the keystone\u2014away goes the arch.No matter how they say that we in Ontario are narrow and bigoted towards the French in Ontario, I tell you it isn\u2019t true.I think that there would be a different story to tell if in.educational matters they would not persist in linking their language with their religion, and make it impossible for an English speaking Protestant to live in some parts.That is what happened in Prescott County.It is not British fair play.I wish my words could penetrate to every French-Canadian home in the Province of Quebec and be understood.We have not the slightest feeling of hostility towards the French, but we cannot sit back and allow, by insidious propaganda and underhand methods\u2014 we can't permit that keystone to be broken to pieces because if we do, we shall fall short of our duty to our province and to Canada.\u201d Following Dr.Edwards\u2019 address brief speeches were made by the Rev.J.W.Shier, Past County Master, and Provincial Deputy Grand Master, who proposed the toast to the Quebec Grand Lodge.This was responded to by Rural Dean Sanders, Past Provincial Grand Master.The toast to the Eastern Townshiou was proposed by William Galbraith, of Montreal, Past Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of British America, and Past Provincial Grand Master.The responder was J.W.Macfarlane, of Montreal, Provincial.Grand Organizer.The toast to the ladies was proposed bv A.Larkin, of Montreal,, Past Coun-Auditor, and was responded to by A.Larkin, of oMntreal, Past County Master, and W- H.Higgins, Past Provincial Grand Master.Following the banquet, the del egates returned to the lodge rooms,
