NOT VERY POPULAR There is nothing worthy of a mo- ment's criticism to be said in favour of raising either the salaries of the Ontario Government or the mem- bers of the legislature. Arguments against the proposal are inunwrable. The salaries of the Ministers are not out of line with the' possible earn- ings of any of these men in private life; th;y are in excess of the earn- ings of some at least of the Cabinet Ministers, and are fully equal to what any wise corporation would pay the best of them. The "indemnity" of a member of the Legislature is not a salary; it is merely intended to in- demnify him of aqy actual loss and for that purpose it is ample. On th« other hand, will the gates opened by larger salaries for Iflhistera, and the chango from indemnities to sal- aries for members of the Legislature the way will be prepared for freer !^pending in all directions and a Pro- vince, the most urgent nead of which is economy, will be started on a freah orgy of extravansance. â€" Farmers For Sale â€" One Chatham Incubator, size 120 egg, in first class condition.
