Not being altogether familiar with the ear he is driving he becomes tonfused and an accident results. occurrence and it is essential that some such action be taken if the public is to be properly safeguarded. Inexperienced drivers who venâ€" ture on the highways are a menace to compeâ€" tent drivers who even though threatened with the danger of being run into cannot avoid an With the large increase in the number of paved highways and the rapidly increasing traffic, accidents have been of a more frequent In the opinion of many of the delegates the continued increase in the number of fatalâ€" ities in highway accidents, called for drastic action. Jt was pointed out that under existing conditions the authorities exercised practically no control over drivers and it was emphasized that not only was some form of control desirâ€" able but that it was absolutely necessary. It was stated that similar laws are in effect in some of the States in the neighboring Republic and no serious difficulties are encountered in their enforcement. The meeting, which was attended by over two hundred delegates, Apâ€" proved the resolution by a large majority. | At ‘the annual meeting of the Ontario Associated Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce held in Toronto last week a resoluâ€" tion was passed in which it was urged that the Ontario Government make it compulsory for all drivers of motor vehicles to undergo examâ€" ination and take out licenses. unanimous vote against the resolution indicat: ed the belief of the delegates in democratic principles under which the will of the majority governs. Theâ€" resolution implied lack of confidence in the government‘s handling of the situation in connection with the O. T. A. and the overâ€" whelming vote against it by the convention was a vindication of the government‘s attitude on the question. Loyalty to their leader doubtâ€" less entered into the voting but the practically At the convention of the supporters of the Liberal â€" Conservative party held in Toronto recently Premier Ferguson and the members of his government were completely vindicated in their previously announced decision to strictly enforce the O. T. A. in view of the verdict of the people at the polis. Of the 1500 delegates present, only three voted for the resolution proâ€" posed in which it was declared that the result of the recent plebiscite constituted a mandate from the people to the Legislature of this proâ€" vince to pass legislation providing for Governâ€" ment Control in those ridings that desire it and that such legislation was necessary to the best interests of law and order. f We feel sure that citizens generally will again be glad to assist in the happy task of making others happy at the Christmas season.

BOARDS OF TRADE URGE DESIRâ€" ABILITY OF LICENSING DRIVERS OF MOTOR VEHICLES TO REDUCE NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS PREMIER FERGUSON VINDICATED BY CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION IN HIS ATTITUDE ON THE O.T. A. COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS CHEER SUBSCRIPTION RATES every Thureday by David Boean and Sone, All right thinking citizens recognize the importance of our railways and we believe are disposed to pay adequately for service renderâ€" I say that if you permit your railways that are contributing so substantially to the counâ€" try‘s progress to grow and become stronger with the country‘s development you are ensurâ€" ing your own future, while if they become weak and anaemic through inadequate ratds, you must face on one hand larger deficits and on the other insufficient service and weakened credit. The railways know that their very serâ€" ijous problems will not be understood unless exâ€" plained and that public favor will not be obtainâ€" ed without a sincere attempt to earn it by works and not words. Fairness to your transportation systems is all that I ask, and I only ask it beâ€" cause they deserve it on their past record of service, the important part they are playing in Canada toâ€"day and the factors they are bound to be in its future development." | There were also other reasons why the transportation systems deserved well of the country, said the speaker, and he referred again to figures of the company, the affairs of which were familiar to himi. "I find", he said, "that during last year the Canadian Pacific disbursed in Canada for wages and materials the sym of $202,000,000 and in taxes of all kinds contriâ€" buted $7,000,000, and," he said, "in all sincerity "It cannot be said that any railway comâ€" pany in Canada during the war or since has made money illegally or has profited unduly. During the past five years the earning‘s of the Canadian Pacific averaged only 3.959 per cent. on the cash invested in the property and .in 1923, a year of moderately heavy traffic, its net earnings were only 4 per cent. on the actual cash investment. In other words the service given to the people of Canada was given at less than cost because, certainly, during those years and toâ€"day money was worth more than 4 per cent." Speaking at St. Catharines the other day President Beatty of the C. P. R., in discussing railway transportation conditions, declared that [the question which is of paramount importance lto the country today is what the people of Canada should pay for the services rendered by the two great railway systems operated unâ€" der different forms of administration and if, as a result of agitation the roads are compelled to carry the traffic of the country at rates which are unremunerative, will the country gaimâ€"or lose?â€"‘Theseâ€"enterprisesâ€"must tive";" said Mr. Beatty. "They have but one thing to sell, and that is transportation, and the charges President Beatty made the following reâ€" ference to the earnings of the C. P. R.: which they may impose by law must be sufficâ€" ient to pay operating expenses and a reasonâ€" able return to their owners on the capital inâ€" vested. If they are to be healthy they also should have beyond this amount reasonable surpluses so that every betterment and imâ€" provement need not involve further borrowings. Province and the Dominion. Opposition groups in the legislature, if they are active and enerâ€" getic, also serve to keep the government of the day on its mettté so that it will not grow weary in well doing. â€" ‘ Third parties during the past year or two have not fared very well as is evidenced by the defeat of the Labor party in Great Britain, and the small support accorded the soâ€"called Proâ€" gressive party in the United States elections recently as well as the defeat last year of the Farmer Government in Ontario. The predisposâ€" ition seems to be towards the two regular parties. * However, the new movement is to be made representative of all classes and as such will likely command a greater measure of support. It can do useful work in advocating policies which will help advance the interests of the FPormer Premier Drury has been a strong advocate of "broadeningâ€"out" not being favorâ€" ably disposed to restricting the membership of the party to farmers only, in other words he has endeavored to secure the elimination of the "stigma of class consciousness". This has been accomplished by the organization of the "Proâ€" gressive‘ party. Undaunted by the decisive defeat suffered in the provincial elections last year, members of the former U. F. 0. Government and their supporters have formed what is to be known as the "Progressive" Party with former Premâ€" ier Drury at its head. This action was taken at the convention held last week. While the organâ€" ization is, so far, limited to Ontaric, the anâ€" nounced intention is to make it Dominionâ€"wide and an appeal is to be made to all classes of citzens, urban and rural alike. Those present at the convention were mainly farmers. | PRESIDENT BEATTY OF T'HE C.P. R.

The recent vote showed that there were over 3,000,000 électors still true to Liberalism, Sir Godfrey Collins, says, and these must not be allowed to drift to either of the other parties.
