Seventh Making the Eenate elective or abollahu it MERELY LAW NO ACTION. The Tribune has already dealt with Hon. Ma-ckerraie King's long-winded oration on the new anti-trust law, and lis uselessncss, so long as the liov-ernmcnt is determined to pursue its policy of creating trusts and refusing to prosecute trusts under the laws which exist today.

The Toronto Mail makes wmr observations along the same line as The Tribune. It says: "On the question of the suppression of trusts and combines that are Injurious to the country sensible advice whs given to the Government in the debute on Mackenzie King's bill by Mr. Richard Blain, the member for Terl. Instead of pushing through mass of fancy legislation, administer the law we now have, Is Mr. Wain's isscstion.

What ure the facts? Th is today a strong anti-combine snitule in existence. The Ottawa Guv-einment pas ho attention to that enactment. No enquiries arc made by tie Government for the purpose of sewering whether or not any particular business arrangement is con-tiarv to the public interests. No busi-nc-s at rangemcnt of this character is ever checked or suppressed by the Ottawa ministers. "Rather than enforce the law we linw have, the ruling politicians prefer to pass a mass of other laws, vnith, far from doing good, are cal-t jiuic to harass and annoy.

Some years ago a provision, alleged to be of mi anti-trust character, was inserted in tlv Tariff Act, the purpose of which was to authorize the Government to lower or reduce the import duty should nny industrial trust be entered upon. That this whs a play to the grand stand was obvious at the time. That it v. as a most unjust proposition in that it proposed to punish a workman engaged in the industries, who had had nothing to do with any combine, una also clear. Mackenzie King's Anti-trust BUI, which lias been explained in a speech of three and a half hours' duration, is the same thing over again, with slightly different machinery.

I'nder the present law a Judge must find out from the evidence submitted to him whether a combine exists. But, under Mackenzie King's revelation, the work formerly performed by a judge is to be undertaken by three men a sort of board who shall report, as the Judge is supposed to do tinder the present law, and If the combine Is said to exist, the tariff is to be taken away or reduced. There is nothing new in the principle of the Mackenzie King experiment. The idea Is the old idea warmed over. "Mr.

Blain points out that this leg islation, Instead of dealing rationally, effectively and Justly with the question, muddles the situation, find does nobody any good. Why not adminis ter the present law? is his question to tho Government. If the Ottawa min islers would make enquiries with respect to the character of combinations and take proceedings against those that really rob the people, It would render service to the consumer. Bui the passage of law after law, compli a ting the machinery, putting Inno cent persona to unnecessary expense, nd applying penalties to the wrong parties, is nonsense. It may commend Jtself to the politician, but to the mail of business It Is highly objectionable, GIVING AWAY FRANCHISES.

Growing towns In the West, In keep Ing with the times, are Introducing Btreet rallwny systems. Today's dls- Jintches record the set that the citizens In one of the towns voted yester day to grant a franchise to a private company. The tor ma are not stated but It may be taken for granted that the life of the franchise la not short of twenty years. It must have occurred to thoughtful oltlxens that If a street railway can fee mnde profitable for a private corn- pay, It could also be made to pay the corporation profit. No ninttr.r Imw fair and llhernl-tnlnd promoters may be, their only ob Joct In engaging In an undertaking of kind la to make money.

The pro moters are shrewd, clever men, and would not think of entering the Held If th prospects were not very bright. J-'Iguree go to show that of all great publlo and civlo utilities, none pay bet xcr than a street railway, with th experience of cities like Toronto, Win rlpeg, Montreal London, and other IdBces, It Is surprising that new towni hould not look carefully and ponder wisely and well before leaping Into the arms a priva-. cvrporat Smaller may take the ground ti.a' they are nut in as -od a petition as the larger i bjt tntie br- cea ji plu. opwatiri Etreet raJaa) Willi great u-w it is as rcr-Tam a the r.e of the sun that hn the opportunity comes th cit.aens if Wli.iKpig tu acquire and operate the ttreet railway t.stim.

A strong bentiment is said to exist In Rigln In f.ivor of public nershlp. In the lnterebts of the future of the western capital, and for the present, let us hope that the people will themselves credit by sajing that if a street railway Is a money-maker for promoters, it can also be made a great revenue producer for the people. The citirem of Wlnr'-'eg would not today even dream of returning to private ownership of waterworks. The city Is hhortly to enter Hit field of supplying electrical power, and when the time coim-s, not many years hence. Winnipeg ill aiso own its own street car system.

In this day of progress and intelligence It Is almost inconceivable that any incorporated body of people, should hand over a street railway franchise to a private corporation or almost the average lifetime of its citizens. SHOULD RESIGN, The public will not wait fur any report from the commission of judges before reaching the conclusion the only possible conclusion that thf present Alberta Government should mo out of office. The evidence already adduced is suf ficient to show that the Government has been wholly incompetent and Improvident, unlit to guard the Interests of the people. The people of Alberta have been humiliated. The province today, in so far as its government is concerned, is almost an object of sympathy.

Apparently there wan no one in the government to stand guard over the strong box. To say the best for the government, It was apparently a case of boys in experience holding down a Job for men. The railway deal is only a sample of other deals throughout "anada, facts regarding which have not been thrown so prominently Into the limelight. There is nothing like a disturbance within a party to reveal the real rottenness of much that goes by the name of government. Alberta's premier should not wait for formal dismissal orders from the electors.

He should resign at the conclusion of the present enquiry. ENTHUSIASM COUNTS. There are those who say that the real estate men are selfish In theKr enthusiastic promotion of the Centennial. Of course they are. So are all citizens, in a mensure, who are promoting the Exposition.

The Exposition is promoted because It will help Canada, and anything that helps Canada, helps the people living In the country. To that degree the real estate men and citizens generally are selfish. Enthusiasm and energy are hound to score, iloth these qualities are possessed by the reHl estate men, and they are invaluable assets to a CANADA'S CRIMINAL POPULATION Some interesting figures have been published by the Government.

The president, before calling on -Mrs.

Before Mr. Tollington made his very happv acknowledgment of the gift those present sang "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" and gave three cheers and a tiger for the man who was described as an official who had filled his office to perfection.

Invited to address the society, brought good news regard lug the Earl Grey Musical and Drama tic Competitions, predicting that the big event would be held in Winnipeg next year.

Report of the Exeoutive The report of the executive, in part. was as follows: "The season of 11108-10, brought to a triumphant close with the series of six concerts In conjunction with tho Symphony Orchestra, was full cit encouragement to tne win nipeg oratorio society.

On the stand this morning before the royal commission investigating the agree ment between the government and the Alberta and Great Waterways railway Dr. j. a.

vvauueii, consulting en gineer, told much of interest relating to the railway company. He practi cally admitted giving a report of the estimated cost of the Alberta and Great Waterways to the goverment that was higher than a reuort suimused to be similar, which was on a previous tile of the company. He said all his esti mated figures were high and on the safe side, because he was working for Mr. Clarke and endeavoring to protect him. Mr.

Waddell said that he made a private, confidential report to Mr. Clarke for the Royal bank, in order to get the bank to finance for them. This report, he said, had shown a probable profit of $1,050,000, baaed on a cost of $17,000 a mile or a profit of $3,000 a mile for the 350 miles of the road. The Royal bank, upon receiving this Information, agreed to finance the road, but to make itself doubly sure of no excessive expenditures, it appointed a constructing engineer itself J. S.

Darling. Mr. Waddell said he was going to build a better road than the specifications called for. The government had practically forced the specifications on him, when he had better ones to produce. The Specifications.

In answer to a question aa to why he wired in cipher to Mr. Clarke, warning him against guaranteeing the operation of the road, Sir. Waddell said he knew that the $1,000,000 guarantee promised by Mr. Clarke in his letter to the government was foolish, It would prevent getting money from tho bank, eince It was different from the agreement with the bank. The witness declared that the Alberta and Ureat Waterways railway com pany is paying a salary of $12,000 to its general manager.

Speaking of the specifications which have been accepted by the government for the construction of the road, Mr. Waddell said he would be ashamed to build a road under those specifications, and that the Alberta government had forced the specifications of John Stocks, deputy minister, and the latter refused the Alberta and Great Water ways railway's proposed plans. Then the government asked Mr. Clarke if he would accept the C. N.

R. plans. Mr. Clarke said to Mr. Waddell: "Can we accept these?" and Mr.

Warrell suid: "Very easily, Indeed. The witness said the specifications now in eflect on the railway allowed for the building of a road $1,000 cheaper per mile than he proposed. He said also that they had bought 56-lb. for $38 and $40 a ton, laid down in Edmonton. Darling's Report.

In addition to Mr. Waddell's esi- mates, which was in confidential report to the Royal Bank, J. S. Darling also made one based to a certain ev-tent on data supplied by Mr. Waddell, Mr.

Waddell did not see this report, but he understood that it was nearly a mile that Darling figured. In the matter of terminals the Alberta, government had suggested $200,000, but Mr. Clarke held out fur $400,000 and received It. The distance to Fort McMurray, the. end of the road, is about 288 miles, and Mr.

Clarke asked for bond guarantees for 40 miles, in order to make some branches, but later compromised in 350 miles. Mr. Waddell declared that the main oblect of the Alberta and Great Water ways railway being built was to got access to the 3,600 miles ot navigut- able waterways in the north. He said he did not know when he first met J. K.

Cornwall, but it wus prior to Nov ember 14, 1D08. He said Mr. Bowcn sold his option In the Alberta and Great Waterways to Mr. Clarku for and $40,000 of stock In tho en terprise about Christmas ot llios. As the hearing adjourned, S.

Woods, who In the absence of P. Nolan and representing the premier In the Investigation, was endeavoring to learn from the witnesses Just where the difference of $1,000 was shown in the specifications presented first by Mr Waddell to the government and the specifications later accepted. The one Mr. Wuddell had brought nan em bankments figured a foot higher; dh1 not stipulate fishplates, and did not sneak of prairie loam ns ballast. Mr Waddell also informed Mr.

RAILWAYS WESTERN I 1 Moose Jaw Grants Franchise Regina Sentiment for Public Ownership. Regina, April 19. With the Lord's Day Alliance and Trades and libor council definitely lined up in opposition to granting of a street rail way franchise to J.

w. Dec. OOrady and other Winnipeg financiers, there appears every likelihood of a strong fight being made against the passing of the street railway bylaw which Is to be voted on on May 6. Public opin ion in Regina ha always been strong ly In favor of public ownership of utilities and with an estimated profit of over $50,000 on the city's waterworks and lighting departments for the present year there Is a growing feeling against granting the propos ed franchise. The advocates of pub lic ownership have formed a strong committee to conduct the fight against the bylaw.

Moose Jaw Railway. Moose Jaw, April 19. By an overwhelming majority of 381 in a to tal vote of 429 the ratepayers of Moose Jaw today authorized the city council to grant a street railway franchise to a syndicate of Ottawa capitalists. Although less than one-third n( the property owners wore represented at the pools the vote is by far the largest ever recorded on any bylaw and the result of the polling Is regarded as highly satisfactory by the citizens generally. Rumors of organized opposition spread throughout the city today which no doubt resul'ed In turning out Give Your Stomach a Chance To Furnish tha Systom th Noceasary Fluida to Driva Dyspepsia From the Stomach.
