Stand On Immigration The number of immigrants entering Canada should be fixed by a Joint board representing the provinces said George H. Williams, president of the United Farmers of Canada, Saskatchewan section, before the Saskatchewan Royal Commission on Immigration and Settlement at Saskatoon this morning.

Each province would report to the joint board the amount of Immigration desired but the quotas set by the joint board should not be exceeded." He did not consider that any province could take the responsibility for immigration while such matters aa fiscal policy and control of finance fell within the oontrol of the Dominion. Methods of giving greater steadiness to the income of the Canadian farmer elicited several proposals from Mr. Williams. Investigations made by the United Farmers had convinced therrf that crop Insurance was feasible It was a project on the same footing as employment Insurance. A man should be assured of enough to carry him through the winter and to put In his crop the following year.

He agreed that drifting population was one of the chief questions to be considered by the commission. The price received by the farmer for his crop should not fluctuate greatly from year to year. It should depend on the supply and demand during the crop cycle rather than the Individual year. He was in favor of Dominion assistance to carry the surplus over what could be sold at a Just price. Canadian boys should receive the same opportunities as the British bovs brought in.

Asked by Commissioner Shelton if he had a plan for the establishment of such settlement, he urged that land should be ARCHIBALD PLANS TRAM SERVICE CUT Falling, Off in Traffic Reason; No Other Alternative, He Points Out Reduction in the street railway service will be put into effect within two weeks, George D.

MANITOBA FREE PRESS Manitoba Free Press will say editorially Tuesday morning.

"Dean Rutherford passes. In the passing of William John Rutherford, dean of agriculture in the University of Saskatchewan, Canada haa lost one of her big men In agriculture. He was an ardent and successful teacher of agriculture and during the two years in, which he was a professor of animal husbandry at the Manitoba Agricultural College he stimulated the students under him to their last endeavor and today many of them are occupying important places In the educational Bpheres of agriculture. To hia work at the University of Saskatchewan he carried the same enthusiasm and inspired those to whom he lectured with much of his own viewa on the importance to the general welfare of Canada of sound agricultural practices. In later years his very great concern was with the reputation of Canadian wheat and his assistance and advice was sought for on two very Important commissions and he did very much to awaken general interest In the ned rt maintaining the character and reputation of Canadian western wheat.

Having stud'ed the subject from production on the farms through every phase of its passing to th i ultimate consumer abroad, he spoke with an authority that carried great weight and many of the Improvements in the grain act are tho result of his wise counsels, while scores of his students are carrying the gospel of good pure seed on well cultivated land back to the farms of the west. 'He was a great authority on livestock and a keen lover of horses The late Alex Galbraith, dean horse judging on the American continent said of Dean Rutherford, I would rather take Rutherfords judgment on my horses than that ot any man I have ever known. Dean Rutherford has passed at an early age but his work re mains to the lasting benefit of Canada. E. Cora Hind, agricultural editor of the Manitoba Free Press said: have known Dean Rutherford since the first week he came to the Cana dian west.

I have listened to his lectures to students, to his talks and advice at agricultural and breed meetings, have watched his judging of horses in all the big rings of the west and at the International at Chicago, always with deep admiration and respect for the soundness of his statements and the impartiality of his judgments. Canadian agriculture has lost one of its big men."

W. Swanson, Mr. Williams maintained that the market for farm products was a fixed entity, that the surplus over a fixed quantity could only be sold at a reduced price. He did not agree with hopes that the rapid Increase of population in the United States would make that an importing country Development of the home market was alright if not sought in a manner that brought starvation to those producing commodities that must be exported. Mr.

Williams opened his evidence by a prepared statement, the chief points in which he summarized az follows: 1. No agricultural immigration should be allowed until the native-born are provided for. 2. At this time we believe that no agricultural immigration should be allowed until production sales and consumption reach a parity level where the cost of production will be covered by the telling price of the nroduct. 3.

Are opposed to solicited or assisted immigration. 4. We recommend the adoption of a quota system because immigration is an economic question not political, religious or even the business ot transportation companies. 6. We recommend the formation of a federal immigration board composed of one representative for each province with a federal chairman and 6.

Suggest on account of Saskatchewan being 80 percent agncul lural, Saskatchewan's representative to be by government's appointment, from fou names submitted by the United Farmers of Canada. 7. We recommend more control in immigration by the provincea but not complete nsponstbtlity. 8. We recommend a change in the homestead law by which future homestead titles will remain In the crown, and use leases Issued instead of patent of title.

JUDGMENT RESPECTED Dean Rutherfords judgment on all Uestions of agriculture was sought 4id valued by leaders of public life, th from transportation companies ind financial institptlons. There was, however, an intensely prrxtlcal side to his nature and he v. recognized in Scotland as a leading authority on Clydesdale horses. The success of the local university in the Clydesdale wotld of America was largely due to Dean Rutherfords uncanny insight.

Horse-breeders esteemed his opinion, while all livestock officials had confidence in hla Judgment. Among his friends he numbered Lord Shaughnessy, former president the C.P.R., while Grant Hall, vice-president of the C.P.R., was a personal friend. Sir Joseph W. Fla-velle and Hon. N.

W. Rowell both appreciated Dean Rutherfords abilities and he was on the board of directors of the Toronto General Trusts. LEAVES FAMILY Dean Rutherford is survived by his wife, two daughters and one son, John. Dorothy, who with her brother and sister have been especially prominent in the athletic circles at the University, has gained an enviable reputation os one of the leading athletes Saskatchewan has produced. Funeral arrangements had not been completed today.

Due to the prominence of Dean Rutherford, it is anticipated that hundreds will wish to attend the funeral services, which will probably be delayed in order to give all those who wish to attend an opportunity to do so. The following tributes to the ability and value of Dean Rutherford were obtained last night; DR. W. C. MURRAY Dr.

W. C. Murray, president of the Saskatchewan University, stated: Dean Rutherford- had made great reputation as a teacher in Iowa and Manitoba before he was invited by the Hon. Mr. Motherwell to come to Saskatchewan to assist in ths founding of a college of agriculture, In Saskatchewan he made an equally great reputation as a wise and far-seeing adviser In all matters agricultural.

He served on a large number of commissions appointed by the federal and provincial governments. He had the vision of a statesman. He was recognized as a great authority on wheat and his Judgment was largely responsible for the recommendations embodied in the recent legislation at Ottawa. Throughout Canada, in the United States and In Scotland he was regarded as an authority on Clydesdales. He was responsible for the filans of the agricultural college and ts excellent reputation was due to his foresight and selection of staff.

His interest in hla students, particularly the young bojtj in the associate course. Was great-ANo one took more delight In their luorts, their successes and their joys tlan he. For years he has advocated wore graduate work and to him wai due the marvellous showing of tile B.S.A. graduates, one-third of wqpm have gone to graduate schools, nriy winning the coveted Ph.D His his loyalty and his unselfish Idevo-tion to public service are beyon praise. BOY BOWMAN Roy Bowman, president of the Board of Trade: Dean Rutherford had performed invaluable work in his official capacity and his efforts are reflected generally in the progress of agriculture.

In no leas measure were his efforts appreciated by the Board of Trade and his passing will be reflected in agriculture in western Canada. J. M. McKAY J. M.

McKay, agricultural representative of the C.P.R. in the west, and a personal friend of Dean Rutherford, paid the following tribute to his friend: I am deeply shocked to learn of the death of Dean Rutherford. My present visit to Saskatoon was largely inspired to see him as I understood he was on the road to recovery. Many times since I have been connected with the Saskatoon division of the C.P.R. I have had the honor of having him as my guest and I am sure no more sincere friend of agriculture lived in Canada.

His studies of western Canadian problems were undertaken with an ability which few of us possess and I know of no man in western Canada, nor the world, who knew more of our problems than did Dean Rutherford Graduating at Ouelpb and serving at Iowa University he was well qualified to handle the many problems which confronted him here and he had possession of facta such as few had in their control. His Interest in agricultural and livestock problems was international in character while I feel confident few men in the world had better knowledge of grain growing, from the time grain was grown until it was developed into the loaf. Few men had such general knowledge as my dear old friend. I feel eure that the P.R.. from the highest officer to the lowest, will miss Dean Rutherford who always OUT ON WEDNESDAY On Wednesday afternoon the dean was able to be out in a chair on the lawn in front of his house as the university groom brought out Jessica, the famous mother of Clydesdale champions, with her own promising foal and the orphan foal which she has also suckled.

Bonny Betty and her foal were also seen and admired. The building up of the Clydesdale stable at the University of Saskatchewan, undoubtedly the finest group of the breed in North America, has been the dean's greatest interest for many years. His efforts have resulted In the winning of many international championships for Saskatchewan. GREAT BOWI.ER Lawn bowling was a great interest of Dean Rutherford. Three years ago he won the "singles championship of the Saskatoon club.

He was president of the Saskatchewan Lawn Bowling Association and a life member of the Manitoba association. In the local club he had been for many years chief greens" executive, and had made a special study of the grasses most suitable for the purpose. It is due to his efforts that the new green north of Twenty-fifth Street bridge is undoubtedly the best between Winnipeg and the Pacific coast. The energy he has put into the work of the club is largely response ble for the establishment of the new green and the club house in course of erection. Curling was another game in which Dean Rutherford was interested, but his work has interfered with much active part in the game duping the past two years.

He played on the rink at the university. Dean Rutherford had been In the City Hospital from last October until two weeks ago when he was showing some Improvement and returned to his home on the university campus The Clydesdales at the university, the deans particular hobby, have this spring produced some fine foals, possible future champions, and some of them were taken round to the lawn in front of the deans house that he might look them over. BORN IN 1871 William John Rutherford, son of John Rutherford, was born at Potsdam, New York, in 1871. He was educated in Ontario, and was graduated from Guelph Agricultural College, receiving his B.S.A. in 1903.

He took post-graduate work at Ames, Iowa, and became Associate Professor of Animal Husbandry at that college. From 1906 to 1908 he occupied a similar position in Manitoba Agricultural College, and then in 1909, when the University of Saskatchewan saw birth, he accepted an invitation to coma here. He filled the chair of Dean of Agriculture from that time. Dean Rutherford was an acknowledged authority on all matters pertaining to wheat. He knew the wheat growing business from the time the grain was sown until it reached the consumer as bread.

ROD V. REAL Dean Rutherford was a member of the advisory board here of the Toronto General Trusts Corporation. Rod V. Real, local manager of the corporation, commenting on the sudden passing of Dean Rutherford, said, His passing came as a great shock to me personally and his death is also a distinct loss to our corporation. He was a member of oiA advisory board since its inception.

His- wide knowledge as an agricultural authority proved of great value to us, while his kindly and sympathetic attitude made his acquaintanceship and friendship a pleasure to all with whom he came into contact. His passing will be keenly felt by hla associates on the board. The board, the officers and staff of this company wish to express their sincere sympathy to the bereaved family." HON. W. R.

MOTHERWELL OTTAWA, June 2 Hon. W. R. Motherwell, minister of agriculture, raid the following tribute to the late Dean Rutherford today: I first became acquainted with the late Dean Rutherford aa a member of the faculty of agriculture in Manitoba and was greatly privileged to secure his services as Saskatchewans deputy minister of agriculture in the early days of her provincial life (1908), when agriculture was in the formative period and strong foundations were to be laid. Not alone In this official capacity did I favorably become familiar with the late deans many sterling qualities, but as a personal friend and safe adviser he was one upon whom I could always rely.

His love for and interest In agriculture were well and widely known, while his advocacy of and even affection for livestock was one of his many strong, outstanding characteristics. STEADFAST VIEWS Holding advanced, steadfast views on what he considered to be in the interest and well being of his life-work agriculture still he was al ways tolerant of the views of others and, because of that, won the confidence, respect and affection of the farmers of Saskatchewan to an exceptional degree. His work looking to the upbuilding of the livestock industry in Saskatchewan has been wonderfully fruitful not only through actual propaganda work and breeding activities in connection with the Saskatchewan university farm but through inspiring character of his contact and his enthusiasm for livestock among the students of the university, the stockmen throughout Canada and the business men of Saskatoon and other centres in the province. FOREMOST AUTHORITY In all livestock matters he has for years been regarded as one of the very foremost authorities in the Empire and in the United States, more particularly, of course, in connection with horses. He has, there is no doubt, made a very decided impression on the character of the horse being bred in Saskatchewan today.

His ideals as to quality are well known and have had a great influence on the horse industry in Canada. As a natural consequence of being held In such high regard and confidence by his immediate fellow workers and acquaintances, the late Dean Rutherford rapidly became known both near and far as a competent and reliable Btock judge, while his many important service contributions on various agricultural commissions and boards will live long years after him. As a broadminded Christian citizen, he was tolerant toward all men, while as a husband and father he was devotion itself. Without the loving dean the Saskatchewan uni versity will not mean the same, for many a day and many a boy, but we will all be partially solaced by the thought that in Saskatchewans agriculture and university on sides and In ail plarea wc will continue to see and hear the departed dean yet speaking. CHIEF JUSTICE BROWN Chief Justice J.

T. Brown: No words of mine can adequately express my feelings of high regard for the late Dean Rutherford, or my sense of personal loss in his passing. It was my great privilege to be closely associated with him for nearly a year in the work of the Saskatchewan Grain Commission and no man could havs wished for a more, able, devoted or loyal colleague, fear that his untiring and self-sacrificing labors in connection with that work definitely undermined his health, as he has not been well since that work was concluded Dean Rutherford gave his life unreservedly to his University and to his province and the beneficial results of his work- have touched almost every avenue of agricultural enterprise.
