uar.aclian Farmers Plaiining to Sweep Ceoeral Election Viclory iis Ontario Leads to Hopes of Capturing Do* minton (Control; Tarifif Real Issue, Speaker Says Tiie tarif? will be the main issue of the next Canadian general elections, and T. A. Crcrar, who was Minister of .?^riculture in Sir Robert Borden's u'aionist administration, will lead a United Farmers' party, which will have direct tajcation as its main plank. This was the word given yesterday to the New York Canadian Club by Nelson Parliamont, of Ameliasburg, Speaker of ?he Ontario Legislature. At the recent slections in Ontario the United Farm? ers were retumed to power for the first time. The new party will establish its i Iministration next month, when the ~:r&t session openg. The new Speaker indieated that the issue of reciprocity between this coun? try and the TDominion might be raised ?gain. il" "ominion Farmers' party was able ilicate the success of its Ontario ^cessor. The Canadian farmers, who until recently had only local organir.ations, have consolidated their enterprises, he said, and are now organized from coast to coast. Other Planks Planned Outside the tariff, he thought the party'a main planks would be direct taxation of land vaiues, extension of agricultural schools and encourage ment of the "back-to-the-land" move ment. in his address to the Canadian Club L "J --' !?r. Parliament outlined the growth of j the United Farmers' movement, which. j he said. had been gradual but greatly {accelerated by; Canada's war experi ences. War politics, and particulurly war expcndltures which were injudi ciou8, if not actually wastoful, Had opened the eyes of every Canadian voter, he declared, and though the ex periraent of Unionist government, in troduced following a coalition of the two principal parties in 1917. had promised well, it had failed to fulfill its pledges. In the West, he continued, the farm? ers had for years been organized into a grain grpwers' association, which in cluded in its membership practically every farmer in the community. In Ontario the United Farmers of Ontario had perfected an organization which was able at the last provincial elections to elect forty-five members, and by es tablishing a working agreement with the Labor members now controlled the situation. Education Is Stressed In order to combat the modern ten dency on the part of the sons and daughters. of farmers to withdraw from I agricultural pursuits and seek the cities the new Ontario governmeni plans to establish a system of voca tional schools, following the lines of \ the Danish schools ?nd thope estab- ' lished in the Middle West of the United States. "They will be ?ountry high schools," ' he said, "and their aim will bc not pnly | the routine education which is now ! available, but to instill into the minds j and hearts of country boys and girls a lovc of agriculture. and of nature and of the country. The public schools and universities will continue in opera tion to fit those wh6 so desire for the various professions; the new schools will fit them for agriculture and occupations other than professional life. Trade and commerce speak for the glory of the country, but the real backbone, the stamina of the population is still found in a contented rural population." aie For Women <& Misses AN ihteresting collection of coats fashioned ta from models of extreme beauty and grace of line.
