Those Liberal Tariff Reductions

Putting throttgh his textile tariff items un- der the new agreement with the United King- donriin the I-lottse of Commons last wreck, Fin- ance Minister DFNNING encountered some pretty stiff criticism from his own party sup- porters. Goaded by the taunt of MR. W. j. VVARD (Liberal-Progressive, Dauphin. Man.) that “ap- parently the noisycroivd we have from Toronto and other manufacturering centres have got the ear of even our one-time free trader in thc person of the Minister of l-Tinaticc." Ma. DCNNING re- plied somewhat tartly that he wished his honour- eble friend “would not suggest that 1 have ever It any time been a frce trader. I am not and never have been and I do not believe such a policy practicable for (janada?

This roused Mk. R. j. DEAFI-IMAN (Liberal, Huron North). The-item tinder discussion was clothing and cot-ton fabrics, on which the new tariff is 25%. “I ivoulit like to point out to my hon. friend." said MR. Dl~'..\(‘fl.\l.\.\l, “although he mav not be a free trader and possiblyi has no desire to preach protection now. that thc m item really constitutes an increase in protection, because certain items that form the raw materials of our clothing manufacturers have been reduced, T/ir Ilff prnlrrlinrt, Ilicrn- for, is now lily/xvi‘ [him if was before f/lis bun’- gpl “in; limirq/il I/nrell. . .\\‘hile my lion. friend admits hc is not a free trader, and while I with equal frankness say emphatically‘ l ant.

An attempt to cure children of thc thumb- sucking habit by placing them in front of a mirror and forcing them to look at themselves was discussed at a two-day meeting of thc New York Society of Orthodontists. The most rc- cent method for cttring the finger-sucking habit depends upon the parents of the offending panics. Twice a day they mtist put the children in front of a ntirror for about five luiuutcs zutd instruct them to stick their llllltllbs vigorously The plan. according to its sponsor. overcomes the habit by making the children painfully con- siciotts of it. The remedy is said to be based on child psychology and coltsists iit reality of self- education. It is, however. still at an experi- mental stage and its value may not be judged until ithas been generally put into practice.

Sir,—I see our Llberal govern- ment ls now busy making arrange- ments to tax everything tangible and mtanglble, also to have e. new valuation of the land with the ob- lect of tncreaslng the tax. I. as a farmer would ltlte to know l! they have the power of law to do such a thing after hlwlng made a con- tract. with the people ogthts pro- vince they woud not. tncreue the taxes. Now I would like to know l! this pledge or agreement is binding, or was It. just words to mislead us farmers as the story of the spider. and the fly, “come right lnto my parlor”. I wonder t! these men can be so ignorant‘ of conditions on the fann or do they want to force all the farmers to appeal to the Farm Credit Board for adjustment. Why don't, they collect the taxes due on present; valuatton? I saw some of the members were emphasizing the low Drlcea the farmer was recetvtng
