oN, WM. PUGSLEY EXPOSES ‘‘ MOoST DISGRACEFUL SLANDER ‘ ing the matter of getting the dredge im without dutyZand also on account Wof & suit of Mayes vs. Connolly, and | miso Mayes‘ suit against the Governâ€" »ment in, connection with the long swhart. The statement that I â€" ever * suggested any other consideration ) Athan professional services is;a miserâ€" t~ Had such a transaction taken plact it would have been a most â€"inâ€" vonme. Mr. Pugsley was sworn in as Minister of Public Works â€"ou t 30, 1907, and had he taken $2,000 for his own benefit from‘ a intractor. whose work had to pass beloreâ€"him _ for review there would have been no place for him in public life. . > ts CA ? No: «and in control of the very department under which Mr. Mayes‘ ‘dredge was opcrating. Mr. Mayes stated that after some conversation, in ‘ ‘the eourse of which Mr. Pugsley said ‘"it will be nice to have some . one . â€" who Tgld do something for you while in Ottawa,‘" he gave Mr. Pugsley a " note for $2,000. * _ oo 7 ;g % remains now for Premier Hazen \ to admit that when he charged Mr. »@_8‘" with taking money from _ a ‘ gontractor in October, 1907, for "doâ€" ‘Ang something for him while in ~Otâ€" "'hp made a false and utterly infopnded charge against the honor _of the Minister of Public Works. . _ Mr. Pugsley very bluntly states that â€" the . whole thing was in effeect a ~ blackm: project, and that had he to purchase a dredge belongâ€" I& to Mayesâ€"at an cxorbitant price ig would have been freard _ of /«"WThe fact is that in this affidavit ‘Mayes swore to a wrong date, as he ebl(ess'es in a letter to the man t he hasslandered.. He says the error ‘ Wwas a typographical one, but . Mr. Pugsley was able to show at St. John \ lastâ€"night that Premier Hazen declarâ€" Med that beâ€"(Mr. Pugslcy) had taken ‘ the note from Mayes after he became . Minis of Public Works. _ Mr. ;‘ ugs has" proved that he took no ‘mmoney from Mayes in 1907. _ The ;‘5 e was given on October 15, 1905, â€" when Mr. Pugsley was Mayes‘ lawyer, ‘ and had no connection with Dominion politics. Instead of the case being from & contractor, It is a case of disâ€" ~pute as to fees between Jawyer and _ glfent. Mr. Pugsley says: "The note ‘which Mr. Mayes gave me was on acâ€" "Count ~of: professional services, _ for which he owed me a large sum in conâ€" with several matters in which T had been is legal adviser, includâ€" ‘of a Minister of theâ€" Crown takâ€" ing : what wouldâ€"have been ~a bribe ble, lie. It is made out of _ whole tB; not a word of truth in _ it. »Noth of the kind ever took place; mothing that could possibly bear that itruction. There was never any ges of a loan. As I have said, U was two years before I t ht of going to Ottawa.‘ harge That He Took Money From a Dredging Contractor While Minister of Public Works Shown to be a Falsehood. "Mayes asked the department . a M tfo to buy his . dredging ht for $154,400. ‘The Superintenâ€" of Dredging reported that this an item of $52,000 for extra #, ‘ete., which were only fit . for , and that the offer could not be .. Mayes thteatened. â€" then trouble it the dredge : was , bus. the depatrttent paid to his threats. s Contract Was Quite Regulat Swore to a Wrong Date m( Ubetmtt Duty for Premier Hazen #harn I;u‘l' F jon . between Mr. Pugsiey mt in 1908. ~theré, was no "underhand dn the department at Ottawa y proved by the folo®ring deâ€" from The Globe‘s corresponâ€" d thlre /, Att y e h.i Vm“"?f "l(’/"h" wh act referred to in 3.

Two tenders were received on August 15, one from Haney & Miller ol Toâ€" ronto, quoting $1.25 for loose earth per cubic yard and $3.50 for _ rock, etc., and one ftom Mayes, quoting 49 cents for earth and $8.90 for rock. As there was comparatively _ little rock excavation Mayes‘ tender was considerably the lower of the. two. It was found, however,, that Mayes‘ dredge was not of Canadian register, andâ€" therefore not in compliance with the terms of the advertised tender call. As the department wanted _ to have the work done as quickly and cheaply as possible, it was decided to call for new tenders, throwing the work open for any dredge. Accord« ingly new tenders were called for on August 21, without the . restriction compelling the dredge to be of Canaâ€" dian register. Tenders were received in September, and the same two tenâ€" derers put in quotations. Mayes askâ€" ed this time 55 cents per cubic yard for earth, while Haney & Miller askâ€" ed $1.00. Mayes‘ tender, being the lowest, was accepted in the regular form. The records show that the whole transaction was in regular and proper form:. In the affidavit of Mayes, as read at St. John last night by Premier Hazen, it is stated that the former‘s tender was the only one submitted to the department, and it is made to‘apâ€" pear that it was accepted offhand by the then Minister, Mr. Hyman, withâ€" out the formality of advertising, and following the usual procedure of the department to insure the work being done at‘ the lowest possible cost. As will be seen b the above, neither of )these statements is in mioord with facts. 1 Afterwards, when it was decided toâ€" extend the wharf by 400 feet, Mayes: was given the opportunity of continâ€" uing the work at the same prices as quoted in the accepted tender. _ He made but slow progress, however, and the department, to expedite the work, called.in another contractor to assist, the price paid being the same as that quoted in Mayes‘ tender. This was another cause of grievance with Mayes, who thougnt he should . be [atlowel to.do the whole work. â€"Batare an andianns that :M‘-_‘;{‘fl O_F_g Opera House toâ€"night, while ° thousâ€" ands could not get in, Mr. Pugsley shattered the charges of G. S. Mayes against him, and to cap the climax read a letter of regret from Miyes ilbom. the statement that he had paid Mr. Pugsley $2,000 last . Octobet, when he was Minister : of Public Works. The letter follows:â€" Hon. W. Pugsley, Eag., Minister of St Correct Procedure Followed Public Works, St; John, N.B "St. John, 13 October, 1908 Mayes Owns Up , N.B., Oct. 13.â€"(Special.) A;B;mm Man Go Prcx To lT‘? " ORIER &c aoF i C "Mr. . King," _ says the Victoma Colonist,"‘ appears to possess those qualities which are invaluable in an investigation of any kind, and he apâ€" proaches his duty with a singularly well balanced mind. We are glad that the country is yet in the enjoyment of his services in a capacity _ where he has been able to avofd evem the appearance of partis anship."‘ “'I'hei investigation was conducted with abâ€" ility," says the Vancouver Province, "and with a desite to get to the facts, and there can be no « quarrel with Mr. King‘s report. It is only fair to credit the Commissioner with a patience, &n impartiality and . a ]-u.euy in his conduct of the enâ€" quiry which cannot fail to secure for him the entire confidence of the Britâ€" |ish Columbia public in undertaking the larger commission which opened toâ€"day."" And much more to the same efiect in the Provincial press of all parties. Theâ€"country is evidently forâ€" tunate in its investigator. Meanwhile it is reâ€"assuring to know that the work of the commission is in capable hands,. Mr, Mackenzie King, â€"who â€"has beenâ€" chargedâ€"with: both enguiries, has earned the. good* opinion of all. concerned in the execuâ€" tion of his tasks. The press of Britâ€" ish Columbia and the representative of the Japanese Government are at one in their praise Of the manner in which he has discharged his difficult and delicate duties: With a fine digâ€" nity becoming a greater Empire than that for which he speaks, the consul for Japan has declined to accept comâ€" pensation for the money expended by his Government in establishing _ the Japanese claims. He "could not," he says, ‘‘express too strongly the satâ€" isfaction and approval of bis governâ€" ment _ with Commissioner King‘s award, and the adjustment of the losses and damages sustained by the Japanese residents here, a _ feeling which was ‘ shared by every claimâ€" ant." And he adds, ‘"‘The great skill, unvarying patience, and enéergy which marked the conduct of the commisâ€" sion have done mtuch to restore the feeling of my countrymen, and _ to show that the Canadian Government and the people of Canada are opposed to every clement whose purpose is to defy the ordinary rules of decercy in life, and the wider laws which bind nations in friendly accord." _ (Editorial: from ‘Toronto News, Jan ; ~20th, lmz ie wqys wi Missivhs, Linud, sdurcsseu vue students of the collegiate Wodnesday morning..

Conceding this, what portion of lns income should a â€"ntan ~devote to proâ€" Aection? A question of a similar: sort is for how much should a man insure. Regarding: the first questionâ€"what portion . of ‘income should be devoted to protection? one is helped to â€"an answer. by considering the practice. of the courts in adjudging bankruptcy caâ€" ses. In these the judges have decreed that a ‘man‘s income should be divided into three parts, as follows: Qneâ€"third for â€" rent and. savings. o»-u-h: r e ing, R d . for cloth pleasure, travel, servant, sickness and @ll o&s items outside of rent, savings and The oneâ€"third for rent and savings is"divided equally between vrent‘ â€" and mm‘ + .\: e« C uq + Such a devision of a man‘s earnings ifcome is â€"considered by â€" those compeâ€" tent to declare to the point . to, be a proper one and ap absolutely safe one.

For such & man oneâ€"third may be alâ€" For such & man oneâ€"third may be alâ€" lowed for board and lodging, _ oneâ€" third for clothing, ; travel‘ “m ures, ‘éach,‘ and oneâ€"third to : $ However it is clearlyâ€"Ampossible to be arbitrary on such & ‘mattet for‘ ‘tirâ€" cumstances. alter cases, ***~~~ // Again, the men who are ‘best judges declare ‘that a man certainly â€" should save at Jedst as much as he pays for rent, oneâ€"sixth of his income on earnâ€" ings. New, then" what should he _ do with those savings. By such question it is mot quite meant how should he spend them,‘ but‘ rather in what way should they be laid out to give him and his family theâ€" beét protection in the case of hjs death, of sickwess, of incapatity to carn, or Oof old ‘age: The insurance.companies, no doubt, ~will say at once buy a policy and spend the whole oneâ€"sixth in paying the preâ€" Discussing â€"the second _ question, for how much should a man insure his life, and gets the answer, in a way, in connection with the first argument. But oneâ€"twelfth of a good many â€" inâ€" comes would buy far more . insurance than some men want. In such case the balance most likely would be inâ€" vested and add to the general income instead of taking away The answer can generally be found in another question, for how many years after his death does a man want to provide fully for his family? He can provide such a sum that fis widâ€" ow and children, provided the latter are not earning already a living for themselves, can be kept from want for practically the widow‘s . lifetime. Or he, can provide so that she continues to get an income nearly equal .to his own for three or four years.. _ The questions are not pleasant ones, but every man should wrestle with them. A man with young children should arrange matters that they art proviâ€" ded for fairly for at least five or‘«, yedrs, but in generality of cases i is conceded by ‘the hbest authorities that if a man insures for a sum equal to two and oneâ€"half times his _ inâ€" come or yearly earnings he is providâ€" ing most handsomely for the future, and giving the right and proper proâ€" tection. A man‘s life then is practiâ€" cally valued at two and a half years of his salary. oP life insurance and old age maturing ‘policies, it is not the r ght thing. for any man to do, to pay the wholeâ€" of his savings in lifé insurance, and the other half should be invested so as to bring in an income. This makes out oneâ€"twentieth of a man‘s ‘income * or earnings to be devoted to ‘ insurance on his life and oneâ€"twelith to be inâ€" vested so that it will‘ be working for mIum the man and for him. â€"Those. who have calculated _ such a sitmtion%fiimch a course is not adâ€" visable. te there are~many forms At such valuation a good many men would no doubt kick. And few would "In this growing nation ~of Canada, with its splendid heri> tage, we ought to feel it out duty to look to the needs â€" of this country.
