THE RICHMOND. PALLAD1U3I A'D SUN-TELEGRAM. FRIDAY,' DECEMBER lli, 110.

All OWNERSHIP 8Y GOVERNMENT PLAII

Was Submitted to the Canadian Farmers Today by the Parliament.

(Amerlcftn News Fervlce) Ottawa. Ont., Dec. 16. With a view to obtaining at first hand the opinion of the farmer of Canada In regard! to the tariff and other question of Importance to the agricultural Interests, the members of the Dominion Government and Parliament today gave a hearing to a delgation of over

BOO representatives of the organized

farmers of the country. The confer

ence was held in the chamber of the

KoijHe of Commons. The extraordl

nary public Interest attached to the

conference evidenced by the fact

that the galleries were filled long be

fore 10 o'clock, theKiux fixed for the

hearing to begin. Representatives of newspapers In ail parts of the Domin

ion were present.

Among the agricultural organiza

tion represented at the hearing wero

the grain growers' associations of

Manitoba. Alberta and Saskatchewan,

the organized fanners and dairymen

of Ontario and Quebec and the fruit

growers of the Maritime Provinces.

The Canadian Council of Agriculture

and the Dominion Grange were represented by many of their officials and leading members. The rhlef requests presented to the conferenco were five In number, as follows: The placing of manufactured articles used by farmers on the free list. Government ownership of a railway line to Hudson Day. The establishment of a chilled meat trade In Canada to foster a greater export business. Too passing of a law to permit the formation of cooperative societies. Government ownership of terminal elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur. The foregoing In the opinion of the farmers' organizations, represents in ft general way the chief points of the program which the government should adopt with a view to furthering the best interests of the several million persons engaged in the agricultural Industry In Canada. The details of the program are left to be worked out later, with such modifications relating to the tariff and trade preference as may be found necessary. A policy of reciprocity in natural products and timber, and free trade In agricultural Implements with the United States, would. It Is urged, prove a great boon to the Canadian farmer, both as to buying and selling, aa it would enablo him to get his Implements and farm equipments cheaper, and to sell wheat for more, as the Western farmers claim the prices of wheat In the Minneapolis market range considerably higher than the price In Winnipeg. In regard to the proposed Hudson .Hay railway, the farmers are emphatically In favor of Government construction, ownership and operation of the line, believing that private ownership would result In a monopoly that would be hurtful to the Interests of the polic. The establishment of a chilled meat trade Ir Canada and the passing of a law to permit the formation of cooperative societies are matters that have long been advocated,' particularly by the Western farmers. - in the belief

that the enure country would be greatly benefited ihereby. ' The Westeta grain growers consider the demand tnat the terminal elevators at Port Wiillam and Port Arthur, which from the ontlet from the West to the seaboard try way of the great lakes, be taken over 'and ' conducted as a public utility,' as one of the most Important Items of the entire program. They allege that the present system of private ownership and operation constitutes a natural monopoly, which has proven detrimental to the Interests of the public, through the mixing of inferior grades of wheat with the better samples.

Maintaining that the best ears ol corn which his two sons, Harry and Lowell Goebel, had entered in the exhibit by the members of the Wayne county boys corn club had been substituted for poorer ears, and consequently making the opportunity for his sons winning two of the fifty scholarships to the Purdue university short course in January improbable, the irate father demanded of County Superintendent C. O. Williams on Thursday morning that the "substituted" ears be replaced. Of course nothing of the kind was done by the county superintendent, in whose office the exhibit is being held, aa no crooked work had been done. Goebel is a prominent farmer In Boston township, and regarded as one of the most successful corn raisers in the county.

Have You Stopped to Consider Why You Should Have a Piano in the Home And also why you should buy a Piano of the Starr Piano Company's make. It has quality. In all the natural woods, finest finish, and has the tone we handle all of their makes as the

Starr Remington

Richmond Trayser

Don't get the idea that we have nothing but the high priced pianos. While the Starr is the leader, the Richmond, Remington and Trayser are also good pianos but not as high in price. They are medium priced pianos.
