AN ovation to Premier King on his

return to Ottawa was quite an BXDected thing, officially prepared and staged beforehand. It is pro- verbial that every one is a friend to the giver of rich gifts. Rich are the gifts, with promises of more to follow. which the King Government has bestowed upon the federal Cap- ital. It is to vie with Washington and Paris in splendour and beauty in the near future. And the fact that it doesn't cost the happy giv- ers a cent no doubt adds to their rnjoyment as they smillngly ac- knowledge the acclamations of the crowd. The taxpayers oi the entire Dominion will pay the cost of all this Babylonian glory and magnifi- cence. which not one in a hundred of them will ever see.

Federal aid for improving highways ls being called for, and the call will .10 doubt be discussed at the coming session of Parliament. It has been intimated that the Government is not unwilling tc- give it consideration.

Almost everybody calls for better roads and for more really good roads. 1 Improved roads are of more thanl local importance and value. They! are a national asset, espcially inl promoting the growing and profit-l able tourist business. aiding lmmi-i gl-ation, and in getting new settlers| suitably located. After the war a1 federal grant of $20,000.000 was; made toward improving the high- ways, and this federal aid was sub- sequently increasd by $2,000,000. In round figures Alberta got $1,344,443; British Columbia $1,259,750; Mani- iobn $1,747,092; Saskatchewan, $1.- 306255; ‘New Brunswick. $1,180,240; Nova Scotia. 31.490308; Ontario. 35,309,727; Quebec. 543748.420, and Prince Edward Island $630,739. With a full treasury at Ottawa and a gen- eral election ill early prospect i‘. seems probable that federal toward bettcr roads will be forth- coming.

A car ferry from Saint John to Zigby. across the Bay of Fundy, that will shorten the duration of the trip from Montreal to Halifax by five hours. is being considered by he Directors of the Canadian Paci- fic Railway and may be put in op- ratioll next spring it is stated. al- though not yet officially announced or decided. When the water gap is thus bridged by the projected ferry he C. P. R. route from Montreal to Halifax will commend itself as :1 great time-saver not only to pas- sengers between the two cities but to many others in the mainland provinces who wish to make close connections with ocean steamships making transatlantic voyages. It will be surprising if the CPR. car ferry shall be in operation before the promised new O.N.R. car fcrry for the Capes route is completed.

Many voters prefer to be on the winning side and have but little preference for one candidate over another except he has the better chance of becoming a winner. Peo- ple of this'sort of mentality study the straw votes and the betting odds. These are by no means ‘m- failible guides. From both the bet- ting odds and the straw. or post- card vote, the indications are that Hoover will be elected President of the United States by a vast major- ity. Such wide publicity as has been given to the indications refer- red to undoubtedly strengthen Hoover's chances of victory. Voters whose main desire is to “pick a winner." will vote for Hoover in large numbers on Tuesday 11BX1-
