He contrasted this position with that prevailing under the Conservative Government. Then the Lands and Forests Department was operating at a loss, he said, "and it was actually costing us money to own the richest and most accessible timber lands in North America."

Hepburn. "I said he negotiated a deal with the liquor board on behalf of his brother-inlaw. It wasn't his brother-in-law. It WAS his wife's cousin. But the principle is the same." The liquor board had rented property from this cousin of Mr.

PENETANGUISHENE, Sept, (CP) A system of rebates on motor car licenses give a square deal to the man on the back concessions" who cannot drive his car the year round was promised Saturday night by Conservative Leader Rowe in addressing electors in his home riding of Dufferin-Simcoe. Speaking here and at nearby Elmvale to wind up Northern Ontario tour, the Conservative leader criticized as "an election bribe" the announced reductions and time extensions in motor car licenses.

He said Premier Hepburn had neglected to discuss the school issue here and asserted a "school book racket" existed in the province. Will Pick Men. At the same time Mr. Rowe gave some indication of his cabinet make-up it elected with this statement: "I have heard a great deal about the old gang stuff. May I say we have more promising young men running for our party in this election than any Government since Confederation.

When Mr. Hepburn sees my cabinet, he'll not see any of the Roebucks and Tim Bucks he put in. He'll see young men of more vision." Holding a large advertisement concerning the motor license reduction and the provision making the 1938 licenses valid until March 31, 1939, Mr. Rowe declared of Premier Hepburn and his Government: "He has paid for the election advertisement out of your own money. For election purposes he increases the election bribe to each motorist to half your license fee." Mr.

Rowe said a man driving 16-cylinder car would save $25 through -the reduction and time extension. is straight election bribery, paid for by your own money and advertised in his campaign organ, the Toronto Globe and Mail," he said.

"We will change that and give the man on the back concessions unable to drive his car the year around a square deal.

You can send your license plates back and you receive a reduction in accordance with the time you laid your car up." "While the Government gives the rich man a $25 reduction in motor license fees," he added, "the Premier allows the old school-book racket to come. back to the province and charges $8 to $10 more for books." Mr. Rowe demanded his opponent in Dufferin-Simcoe, Hon. L. J.

Simpson, Minister of Education, state why "under this Government the old school-book racket that Sir James Whitney kicked out has come back." "In keeping with the rackets started since this Government came to power, we have seen the school book racket with books increased about 250 percent." Some books which cost 16 cents had increased to 50 cents, he said, and in some cases it was necessary to buy two books at 35 or 40 cents each in place of one book originally selling for 15 cents. The Conservative leader said Dr. Simpson had stated it Mr. Rowe were elected, Hydro rates would be increased and cancelled power contracts renewed. "I have never said I would renew the old contracts as they were previously drawn," Mr.

Rowe said. Will Use Honest Methods. "You will have Hydro rate reductions maintained," he added, "and you will have Hydro rates further reduced by sound and honest methods rather than the dishonest methods of repudiation." Premier Hepburn had refused to give a signed statement by three competent engineers that the province did not face hydro shortage and although the Premier had said Ontario never needed the power provided by the cancelled Quebec contracts, inside of two years new contracts had been negotiated for 460,000 horsepower. "If we had the standard of living we should have in the province there would be a. hydro: shortage now," he said.

"That's why Mr. Hepburn did not put out the statement and he cannot get one single engineer, let alone three, to put out. his statement." Mr. Rowe told Penetanguishene electors he would complete the hospitals Premier Hepburn started "for political purposes." The hospital for criminally insane at Penetang would be extended and employes now working 14 hours day would have the period reduced to eight hours. The other hospital there would have an additional extension on top of the present one, The Conservative Leader challenged the Premier to issue the public accounts of the last tiscal year and asked why Mr.

Hepburn feared to issue them. COUPLE FOUND DEAD. DETROIT, Sept. -Apparently having died in agony after violent sickness, bodies of John Koss, 22, and his wife Pearl, 20, were found in their apartment here today. Police believed the couple, married last June, were victims of poisoned food or drink.

He held her slendor warm fingers tightly.

"Will you marry me?" the girl asked suddenly, "No," the young man answered flatly. Mary Ellen Bradshaw sighed. The glow of the rising moon was full upon her, and her hair, which shone like pure gold in the sunlight, now seemed to be made of soft-spun silver. Her lovely eyes were very serious, but sly mischievous smile played at the thin corners of her red lips. "People tell me I'm beautiful," she said at last.

"I've heard, you say so many times, too, John." "You are beautiful," John Calvert- declared warmly. "And in three days I shall be 21, and then the Bradshaw fortune will be mine. What more could young man want?" "That's just the trouble," John teld her. "In three days you will have millions--and I won't have a thing. If I marry you, your Aunt Eila and everyone else will wag their heads and say, 'He married her just for her money." "That's the same excuse you gave me yesterday," Mary Ellen sighed.

"Isn't the moon lovely tonight?" She laughed softly. "How long do you suppose it will take us to get to the moon?" John's eyes fell on the speedometer. "At the rate you're driving," he said, "we should arrive in few minutes." When they came to where the highway turned north, Mary Ellen drove straight east, following a narrow country road.

Miles farther on the road entered a forest and the going became tough. where are we headed for?" John wondered, "Toward the moon," Mary Ellen laughed. John asked, "do you know where this road will take us?" "I haven't the slightest idea," she told him. Suddenly big touring car leaped from among the shadows and stopped crossways on the narrow road. Mary Ellen put her weight on the brake, and the roadster skidded to a grinding stop.

A tall man and a short fat man, faces masked, jumped out of the touring car and came fori ward. John saw that each carried shotgun. "This is a the tall man rasped out. "Get out!" Mary Ellen and John climbed out. A minute later the men had taken John's billfold and small purse from Mary Ellen, They opened the purse first and counted the money.

"A hundred bucks!" the fat man exclaimed. "That pays us well for our trouble, sister." He handed the unopened billfold back to John. "Here, you can keep yours to get back to town on, fella. We're satisfied with the hundred." "We'd better tie 'em up some place so they won't give an alarm before we can get out of the state," the tall man said. "A good idea," the other agreed.

The men led Mary Ellen and John to an old ramshackle cabin, which stood a few rods from the road. Here they tied them securely with ropes and left them the sitting with their backs, to rough wall.
