Free Wheat
Will Be Issue
For Over Ten Years Wheat Has Been
Higher In United States Than in
Canada, Declares Canadian.
Ottawa, Ont., Feb. 7.—While the
dominion parliment has rejected the
free wheat proposition, in which both
American and Canadian western prov
inces are so much interested, the issue
will certainly come up again.
The debate upon the amendment ex
pressing regret that the government
had not intimated an intention to re
move the customs duties on wheat and
wheat products was participated in by
Thomas MacNutt of Saltcoats, Alta.
Mr. MacNutt said that the views of
the men raising wheat should be heed
ed when the tariff upon that commo
dity was considered. He maintained
that the United States market had in
the ten years before 1911 an advan
tage of 10 cents a bushel over the Can
adian wheat market. He admitted
that the advantage was not' now so
great. Prices were too low to give the
farmer the right profit, considering the
hight freight rates, the cost of labor
and the cost of machinery.
That was the reason the western
people favored free trade in wheat be.
tween Canada and the United States.
He thought that the milling and rail
way interests, and not the farmers and
manufacturers were opposing the re
moval of the duties on wheat and wheat
products. The opposition of the
railways indicated that the United
States market was the one to which
no fear that the by-products of the
grain would be lost to the dominion.
Tells of Sacrifices of the East.
J. H. Rainville, of Shambly-Ver
cheres, said that the east had made
great sacrifices to develop the western
provinces. Railroads and elevators had
been built to conserve trade for Can
adian ports, Canadian railways and
the Canadian people. The United
States now wanted Canadian wheat,
because they did not produce enough
of the hard variety. Canadian hard
whcot shipped into the United States
would be mixed with soft American
wheat and shipped to Britain. It would
lose its present high position in the
European markets.
Mr. Rainville said that in 1911 a
man buying hay had told the farmers
of Chambly-Vercheres that if the re.
ciprocity agreement was adopted he
would pay $2 a ton more for hay. The
United States duty on hay had now
been removed and the price of hay had
fallen to $2 a ton. The farmers were
now able to see how false was the
promise made to them.
"Was not the gentleman in favor of
reciprocity in 1911" asked Mr. Proulx,
of Prescott.
Cost of Living.
No," replied Mr. Rainville emphatic
ally. "At the first meeting I held in
my riding at St. Lambert, I took a posi
tion against it, but when we saw these
fellows going around talking about hay
we were obliged sometimes to take a
side track—(laughter). We didn't be
lieve in the false representations they
made, however. Reciprocity was not
wanted by the people and it will not be
wanted by the people."
Mr. Rainville said the burden of the
high cost of living rested on the dwel
lers in the city rather than on the
farmers. The difficulty was that the
country did produce was being drawn
away to the United States. The high
cost of living was due largely to three
causes: To unwise immigration, to the
need of greater production, and the
need of better distribution and co-op.
eration.
Immigration into Canada had not
been directed to meet the best inter
ests of the country. It should provide
men to help the farmers, not men to
fill up the cities. Mr. Rainville favored
the establishment of demonstration
farms in every parish if possible. He
suggested that the government might
teeing the owner a fair return, and
take charge of certain farms, guaran
giving him advice in all his work.
East and West Consulted.
Mr. Cruise of Dauphin, Man., said
that the organized farmers of the west
had consulted the organized farmers
of Ontario before asking the removal
of the duties on wheat and wheat pro
ducts. He said the farmers did not
require education, but a market. He
did not think the farmers would ob
ject if the minister of agriculture took
some of his money and devoted it to
educating the manufacturers. If gov
ernment did not meet the reasonable
wishes of the farmers, there would
soon be a farmers* government. Mr.
Cruise said that there should be free
trade not only in wheat, but in flax,
barley, oats and agricultural imple
ments.
McLean For Free Wheat.
W. F. MacLean of South York de
clared that the people of the west,
through the legislature of Manitoba
and Saskatchewan and through their
organizations, had .spoken in favor of
free wheat. The only objection to thi»t
policy seemed to come from the rail
ways and the milling interests. Thai
being the case, he hoped the govern
ment would take it into consideration
and come to the relief of the people.
There is no relief like that which came
direct. He would certainly widen the
market. To do so would not be re
nouncing our right to make our own
tariff, but merely taking advantage of
an offer held out by the United States.
The minister of trade and commerce,
he continued, had put up a good argu
ment in favor of increasing our trade

with the West Indias by lowering the
duty on sugar.
Now came ihc United States with a
proposition for free sugar, offsetting
the Canadian policy. But as protec
tionists it was the duty of the govern
ment to meet the changed condition',
so in the case of wheat. "Nice cus
toms curtesy to great kings." The
great king in this case was the United
States, which came and said they would
take our wheat, and we should meet
them in that respect.
American* Better Off at Home.
Let the government hearten the
farmers up by giving them this great
boon, said Mr. MacLean, and they
would become not only great wheat
farmers, but great stock raisers. "We
have got to make the west contended,
not only in the interest of the west,
but of Ontario as well," he said. Mr.
MacLean also quoted figures given by
a Wisconsin paper to show that high
tariff, low prices of farm produce and
high freight rates in Canada were con
vincing Americans they were better
off at home.
hoped that the
finance
minister in his budget speech would
announce the policy of free wheat.
Many Returning.
Mr. Douglas of Strathcona said the
late government went down to defeat
in the effort to benefit the farmers.
His district was one of mixed farm
ing and the farmers there were as
strongly in favor of a wider market
as were the wheat growers. In spite
of free land and good general treat
ment, many thousands of Americans
were returning to the states, the rea
son being the great value of the Amer.
ican market. In his opinion, if there
were no manufactories in Canada and
the people devoted all their energies
to agriculture, it would be better for
the country.
In regard to unemployment, he de
clared that in the prosperous city of
Edmonton the municipality had in four
weeks spent $25,000 in the relief of
the indigent unemployed.
Warnock Makes Point.
Dr. Warnock of MacLeod said that
the opening of the American market
had been of inestimable advantage to
the stock raisers of southern Alberta.
He wold like to see the same market
opened to the wheat growers. Owing
to short crops and low prices in his
district, he said, the farmers had sold
their wheat at a loss of from $ I to $5
an acre on the most of production.
The farmers would be going out of bus
iness if they didn't get the free Ameri
can market. There was arleady an ex
odus mack to the states. He feared the
Alberta conservative delegation which
recently waited on the government was
more concerned about redistribution
than free wheat.
Mr. Buchanan of Lethbridge com
plained that the ministers who went
out west did not get in touch with the
farmers. What the farmers wanted
were free wheat, reduced tariff, cheap
er freight rates and more railways.
The house tHC|vided on the Neely
amendment, which was defeated by
102 against 57, a majority for the
government of 45.

Lignite May
Be Used
Lack of Waterfalls May Be Overcome
By Using Lignite to Create Power In
Great Central Plant.
Eastern capitalists have been investi-
gating the lignite situation in North Da
kota with a view to the establishment
of large central electric power plants
from which radiating transmission lines
can carry the electricity over the state,
North Dakota, unlike many other
states, especially those in mountainous
sections, is devoid of water power for
the generation of electricity. Its broad
and .fertile areas affords no opportunity
for swift running streams with great
waterfalls.
Instead of that, however, it has bil
lions of tons of lignite coal, ranging
from a foot to 100 feet under the sur
face. There is a sufficient amount of
this fuel to supply heat and power for
the entire United States for the next
century. Its wonderful possibilities are
just beginning to be realized.
It is asserted by practical men who
have made an investigation of the
conditions that electricity can be man
ufactured in the lignite belt along the
Missouri river, transmission lines con
structed to the eastern part of the state
and power placed at Fargo, Grand
Forks, Devils Lake and other points at
from 40 to 50 per cent of the present
cost of generating power in those cities.
It will require a considerable outlay to
make this possible. A thoroughly mod
ern and up-to-date system of mining
the lignite must first be arranged. A
huge power plant would be necessary
and the transmission lines would be an
expensive proposition, but once estab
lished the returns would be certain.
The transmission lines could have
diverging systems that would carry the
electricity to points along both the main
and branch lines of the railroads. Es
tablished electric plants could be furn
ished with power more cheaply than
they can generate it. Smaller towns
without electric power and light could
be supplied, and tKe rural communities
could be served in a most effective
manner so the drudgery of the farms
could be eliminated.
The possibilities of generating and
transmitting the electricity will be
thoroughly investigated during tht
coming year and huge central plants
may follow.
