It is also the office of the Attorney-General's Department to see that all Statutes and Orders-in-Council are drawn up in proper form, and that the public interests, as well as the rights of indivi.luals. are carefully guarded. This is all the more necessary in the case of Statutes, since there is only one legis- lative chamber. The manner in which the work of supervision has been carried .out is the oest possible proof that, with an experienced and watchful Premier and a competent and careful Attorney-General, there is not the slightest need for a second one. Jleviaion of the Statutes. In the work of Revision the greatest possible industry nas been displayed. This has had the effect of eliminating the repealed Legislation, and of consolidating and arranging, under a most excellent system of classification, that which remains in force. The first Revision was completed in 1877, the code beiog published in two volumes under the title of Revised Statutes of Ontario. Subsequent revisions brought the work down to 1887 and 1897 respectively. Compilation of Imperial Statutes in Force in the Province. The work of compiling and putting in concise form all the .statute law of England and of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in force in this Province (hitherto inaccessible except by reference to large, rare and expensive volumes) has been undertaken under the direction of the Attorney-General, and is now about complete. This compilation will no doubt be of utmost advantage to the public and profession. Legislation and Law Reform. i-egislation has been well abreast of the times, and, generally speaking, has been as progressive as that of any country in the world.

Tbe attention of the Dominion Government was sailed to tbe fact that tbere was now an implement in tbeir bands to bring pressure to bear upon our American cousins to give a ouid pro quo. The export duty on Canadian logs was aocordingly in 1888 raised to $ii per 1,000 feet In 1889 tbe Dominion Government reduced the duty to $2 per 1,000 feet, as informal neffotiations had sprung up looking to better terms for Canadian lumber. Tbe Ontario Government, recognizing that it would be a proper step to assist the Dominion Government, or, at any rate, to put an end to tbe unfair system prevailing of Ontario *ogs going out while our lumber was discriminated against, deter- miuMl to put a condition in the timber sale of October 1, 1800, requiring that logs out on lands included in that sale must be sawn in the Province. Very shortly afterwaids an agreement was arrived at by which the United Stetes reduced the duty on Canada lumber to $1 per 1,000 feet, and Ouutda thereupon removed tbe export duty on logs. In 1894 the position was further improved for Canada by tbe removal, under tbe Wilson Bill, of the $1 duty on Canadian lumber, which now obtained free admission to the United Stetes markets. From 1886 down to 1890 the Government of Canada dealt five times with the question of the export of logs — four times by Order in Council, and onco by Act of Parliament, in which they took general charge of the export of logs question.

The attempt on the part of the United States t^ outwit us was therefore thwarted, and the result has been to carry the war further than our American friends expected, for instead of our mills beifig dis- mantled and removed to Michigan, as they expected under the automatic Dingley tariff clause, the action of the Ontario Govern- ment has caused Michigan mills to be dismantled and moved over here or new mills erected in Ontario. The Ontario Government was not called upon to move as long as the Dominion Government could protect the rights of our people. It left the matter to the proper authority, viz. the Dominion Government, but when that Government could not, without disaster to the whole lumber trade of Canada, do what was necessary, then for the first time the Ontario Government was bound to act, and it did so to the extent of what was honor- able, legal and necessary. In oraer to understand the position properly, it might be said that owners of timber berths are required to take out a license annually for the right to cut timber. This license expires on the ;iC».h of A.t>ril. In the Government Bill it was not intended to appiy the manufacturing clause to saw logs until the close of the license year. Mr. Whitney and his friends contended that the manufacturing conditions should be applied forthwith. This would have been a breach of contract with the luiiibermen, as it changed the conditions on which the license for the year had been issued. The Government felt that its contracts should be kept inviolate, and in this view the House concurred. Had the manu- facturing clause applied to the contracts then pending, it is all but certain that the Courts would have set it aside. Since then the right of the Government to impose the manu- facturing conditions upon logs cut in Ontario was argued before the Court of Appeal, and af^r an exhaustive discussion of the rights of the Province, the Court held thtft the law was strictly within the jurisdiction of the Province, and now may be cun- sidere•' pennauent it.

Vast as the pine timber industry in Ontario has been, and despite its great value in adding to the wealth of the Province and assisting in supporting its industrial life, our immense forests of spruce are equally important, in fact are likely to be of even greater value than the pine resources. While we have considerable spruce large enough to make sawn lumber, great forests of lis tree stand so thick on the ground as to prevent large growth and much of il is mainly valuable for wood pulp. These forests, if thinned out, would, of course, grow to a size suitable for saw log purposes, but the growing demand for spruce for the manufacture of paper renders the tree very valuable, even when of small size. Because of this, spiuce may be cut in from 20 to 30 years from the seed and therefore two crops of spruce can be harvested to one of pine. By reason of this natural law of reproduction, our pulnwood forests cannot be exhausted hy gradual utilization. It is therefore a wise econor^y to realize on this source of wealth.

Some of the enterprises mentioned have abready expended sums luseW in excess of those called for by their agreements, and instead of the $4,850,000 demanded, the capital invested will ultimately reach many millions, neceasitatiDg the en^loyment of several thousand men. These mills will undoubtedly find it to their advantage to fnrther manufacture this pulp into paper before sending it abroad, thus requiring a further expenditure of capital and the employ- ment of additional labor. Within a few years there will be many thousands oF our people obtaining a living in the mills and in the woods in connection with tb* woodpulp and paper trade, because of the progressive nature of the Government policy in this regard. The Gc ' .mment, by its action, has secured th^ investment of extMisive capital, and it is to be remembdred that every cord of wood euv under these agreements, whether of spruce or kindred ^ timbers, must pay its dues. Nothing is given away. Another important feature with respect to these pulp conces- sions is that they in no way retard the progress of settlement in the districts for which they are granted. The settler or miner is not locked out of the country, but the lands are open for dis- posal, and immediately upon the sale or location of any land for settlement or mining purposes, the spruce and other pulp timber pass from the operation of the concession and become the property of the locatee or purchaser The Toronto Mail cmd Empire, speakiug of the pulp conces- sions, called them "a criminal disposal of the Province's assets" and characterised the act of the Government as one of shame- lessness and an entire disregard of principle and decency. « In the session of 1900, and" also in the session of 1901, Mr. Whitney voted againat every proposal submitted by the Gov- ernment fur the development of the pulp industries of the Province. Mr. Whitney and New (hUario. Mr. Whitney claims to be in favor rt developing New Ontario.

It was proposed to build the railway by land subsidy entirely, and as the lands were really of no value without the railway, it whs considered the Government had made a good bargain. In speaking of this grant Mr. Whitney said {Mail and Empire, April 27, 1900) :— " Air. Clergue, in his wildest imagination, could not expect more than had been given, and given to the eternal shame of this Government, and to the disgrace of every man who would be connected directly or indirectly with the deal. They were hand- ing over to him a million and a half of acres of valuable pulp and mineral lands, and asking nothing in return. The Govern- ment had made thd pretence that they were securing certain concessions from Mr. Clergue, but everyone of these,* it was pro- vided, could be waived. I have no hesitation (concluded Mr. Whitney), and I meet the jeers of the hon. gentlemen opposite with patience, I have no doubt that public opinion will say with regard to it that it is the most phenomenal steal, the greatest attempt at public robbery, the most heinous public crime that was ever attempted by men in authority in the Dominion of Canada, and I don't think I would be exaggerating to say, on the continent of North America." (Prolonged Opposition cheers.) Divided the House, Although the arrangement for the construction of the Algoma Central was considered one of the best bargains ever brought before the Legislature, Mr. Whitney insisted on dividing the House on the third reading of the Bill, and he, with all his fol- lowers, voted against it Already over fifty miles of the road have been built, and it is Erobable before the close of 1902 direct communication will be ad between Sault Ste. Marie and the Canadian Pacific Railway. Mr. Clergue promises to extend the road northward until it reaches James Bay, aud had, during the summer of 1901, exploration parties in the field with a view to the location of the line. The Algoma Central Railway is now practically the backbone of all Mr. Clergue's enterprises at the Saull, on which he has already expended about fifteen millions of money. Surely it is but reasonable, if New Ontario can be developed by means of its own waste lands, that no better use could be made of these lands than was proposed by the Qovemroent, and which met with Mr. Whitney's opposition.

BUILD UP ONTAlilO ""' CBOWir LANDS DKPAKTIflirT. 81 OnUrio oui Mfely challenge oompariaon in thie reipeot with any oUier Provin<{g or State on the Continent It wai in 1888 that the Qovernment inaugurated a propaganda with a view to educating public opinion an to the danger of deforestation in the older parts of Ontario, and as to the necessity for the oonserva- tion of young timber growths in the newer parts of the Province. ]'wo Forestry CSommissions, appointed respectively in 1892 and 1897, rendered valuable assistance in this re||^rd. Qovernment action has taken the practical form of setting apart a series of forest reserves, utilizing land found unsuitable for afi^cnltural purposes, and that can be more profitably devoted to growing trees for future timber supplies and consequent UmMr revenue. In addition, great advantages will accrue from the preservation of the sources of important water supplies, aa well as from the beneficial effects of such reserves on climatic conditions. The reserves thus set apart are as follows: — 1. A reserve in the counties of Addington and Frontenac, com- prising 80,00U acres. Set apart April 5th, 1899. 2. A reserve on the North Shore of Lake Superior, 40 miles east of Port Arthur, with an area of 45,000 acres. Set apart Feb. 16th, 1900. 8. The Temagami Reserve, set apart Jan. 11th, 1901, comprising the region surrounding Lase Teraagami, an area of about 1,400,000 acres, (carrying a very large quantity of white pine, estimated at three billion feet), and forming a vast park of wonderful scenic beauty. Thus there has been set apart (including Algonquin National Park) over two-and-a-half millioD acres as reserves, and further action in the same direction will no doubt form part of the Government's advanced policy regarding New Ontano ; in fact, investiffations to that end are at present under way. In this and in many other respects, the establishment of a Forestry Branch has been more than justified, notwithstanding wh' h the_ Opposition has always opposed it, as they have opposed nearly every feature of the |3-ovemmental programme having to do with the great natural resources of the Province.

Th« Ocv«mmtnt^a Mining Pdiey. The mining law of the Province ii embodied in the Minei Act, R. S. 0., 1897, Chapter 86, a* amended by the Acts of 1899 and 1900. The prioe per acre for mining lands ranges from $2.00 to I&60, aoeording to distance from a railway, and whether in surveyed or unsurveyed territory. If a lease be preferred it can be ob- tained on payment of f 1.00 per acre for the first year, and 15o. to 80a per aore for subsequent years. Lessees have the privilege during the currency of their lease of purchasing the hmds out- right ; or at the end of ten years, if M rent has been paid and the statutory conditions complied with, the lessee gets a grant without further payment. Mining lands cannot be held without being worked, the law requiring at least $6.00 per acre to be expendwl in development work during the first seven years, at the rate of $1.00 per acre for the first two years and $1.00 per acre per annum for the next five years. Prospecting for minerals on Crown lands is encouraged by free grants of forty acres where valuable discoveries are made in new territoiT. In a Mining Division a miner's license, costint; $10.00 per an- num, entitles the holder to stake out mining cUims of twenty- two and one-half or forty acres, and to hold the same on performing the required development work. Siiailar regulations are in force with respect to unsurveyed territory. The greatest area which may be granted to any individual in one year is 820 acrM of laud containing the same class or kind of ore or mineral within a radius of fifteen miles in any county or district To companies, sjmdicates or partnerships the max- imum area is 640 acres. The royalties formerly reserved to the Crown have been aban- doned.

The Bureau of Mines was established in 1891 to idd in pro- moting the mining intereets of the Province. Inveetigations are made, statistical and other data collected, mineral reckons of nromise examined and mapped, and annual reports published, bringing the mineral resources of the Province prominently be- fore capitalists and others interested. The demand for these reports is very great, not only in Canada, but also from Qreat Britain and the United States. An exhibit of Ontario minerals was made by the Bureau of Mines at the Pan-American Exposition held at BnflUo from May to November, 1901. The exhibit was acknowledged to be the best in the Mines Buildjng, and won a larger number of gold, BUILD UP ONTARIO sr- TW-t^.

If the agreement turned out unsatisfactory to the Company the latter had only themselves to blame ; they could not fall back on the Province. Honorable gentlemen had argued that the Spanish River concession was a gold mine for flie Company. K they believed that,, he would like to know how many of them had invested in the stock which was so widely advertised a short time ago. (Ministerial laughter and applause), IN THB PUBLIC INTERESTS. In conclusion, Mr. Marter regretted that the feeling was that certain measures should be opposed simply because they were proposed by the Government. " I say to this House," he said, "and to my constituents, that in taking this position, and doing what I am doing to-day, I am acting in the best interests of the Province, and of the constituency I have the honor to represent."

Poliey in 1890. The (lonej of the Opposition was again reconstructed bv the submission of the following resolution daring the session oflSOO as an amendment to the Hon. Mr. Qibson's measure :— "That the BUI be not now road a third time, bat bo roferrol book to a Committee of the whole Houm, and ao amended aa to provido that tho litoonao Oommiaaionora hereafteir 6e appoinUd in countiuby Cbtmty CouneOt ud to dtiea and towna elected by the municipal oloetm of raeh dtiea and towns. PoUcy in 1896. In 1896 after allowing the question to lie dormant for several years, Mr. Marter, then Leader of the Opposition, seconded by Mr. Whitney, the present leader, moved a resolutitm which con- cluded as follows : — "That thia Hoaao ia of opinion that it ia Mar iial to the honeat. non- pwtisaa and faithfol oxeontion (A the Hqnor U>. laws, that tho weaent mode of apnototine Boaida of Oonu '-wonora ahi be alnogated, £i that m fntnre the Boaida of OommiaaicmorB to oon. m ahonld oonaiat of the County Ju^ tho Warden of the County, and one appototed by the Oot- •rnment and to oitiea and towna not oonneotod with tno county mnnidpallT tho County Judge, Hayor, and one i^ipototed by tho GoTwnaMnt." It will be noticed iiiat the policy of the Opposition on this subject has varied on each occasion when they brought the mat- ter fOTward. In 1890 they propesed that the appointments should be made by County Councils in the counties, and that in cities and towns Commissioners should be elected by the direct vote of the electors. In 1883 they asked that Municipal Conndla alone should elect Commissioners. In every instance they have demanded that not only the appointment of Commissioners but also that of Inspectors, and the issuing of licenses, should be placed again under municipal control, a system previously dis- carded as wholly pernicious. Respecting the proposal submitted in 1896, it may be said that heretofore the appointment of County Judges as Gommisoionen has been found impracticable and inexpedient. Under the provi- sions of the License Act they are constantly called upon to hear ap- peals and determine eases.

Local Prohibition Provinone. Another evidence of the Govemment'ft desire to minimize the evils of intemperance, so far as the legidation in its power can be effective to that end, is found in the local prohibitory enact- ments represented by Local Option Leffislation. In 1899 pro- vision was made for the introduction ana passing, by municipali- ties, of Local Option Bv-Laws. Sinee 1890, by*'*^ for the adoption of Local Prohibition have been submitted to popular vote on 79 occasions in 68 municipalities. These by-laws pro- hibiting the sale of intoxicating liquours were passed in 61 municipalities, and defeated' in 28 instances. In 16 cases the CounciL At the present' time Local Option By-Laws are in force in 21 municipalities, by which 89 tavern licenses and 3 shope have been cut off During the past year (1901) five by-laws were submitted, four of which sustamed Local Option. Two of these were quashed by the Courts on technical grounds, and one by-law was repealed. Canada Temperance AeL In 1887 complaints were made of the want of machinery for the enforcement of The Canada Temperance Act, commonly known as the "Scott Act," in the counties in which it had been adopted. Thoush this was a Dominion law, and should have been enforced by the Federal authorities, yet for the sake of the interests involved, Uie Qovemment of this Province passed an Act for the appointment of special Police Magistrates in all such counties. The Government were asked if they would appoint Police Magistrates for the purposes of the Scott Act, in cases in which the CodUtT Councils requested it. To this tihey agreed. Only two County Councils took advantage of this arrangement, and asked for the appointment of Magistrates. The Government, complying with the request of the friends of the Scott Act, ob- tained from the Legislature authority for the purpose of securing a better obaervance of the law. Legislation was also passed, providing for the payment of a BUILD UP ONTARIO ft M M III, . «&' i '11 ■■-■M 'I '■■ii.il HI ^.

The Jtail of the same date, in commenting on the proceedings of the House, summed up Mr. Meredith's oppositio-i to the Government meas- ure in these words : " There was nothing to show why any one of the present Members of the Cabinet should not conduct tbe Department of Agriculture, as had been done in past years." It is quite evident, therefore, that the Opposition did not favor the appointment of a Minister of Agriculture, but that, on the contrary, they believed that the farming interests would be sufficiently served by attaching the duties which such a Minis- ter would be expected to discharge to some other Department of the (3ovemment Mr, Meredith's Amendment. On the third reading of the Bill, which took pUca on the 20th of March, Mr. Meredith moved an amendment : — " That while this House concurs in the proposition to give peater attention to the agricultural interests of the Province, it 18 of opinion that that end can be attained without incurring the expense of having an additional Member of the Cabinet, and that the Bill be referred back to Committee of the Whole with in- structions to strike out the third section." The third section of the Bill provided for increasing the Qovemment from five members to six members, so as to admit of the appointment of a Minister of Agriculture, and reads as follows : — III. The Act respecting the Executive Council is fur- ther amended so far as the same restricts the Executive Council to six members. How Mr. Whitney Voted. The intention of Mr. Meredith's motion, confirmed by his speech as reported in the Mail and by the comments of the Mail as well, cannot be questioned, and means his distinct and un- qualified opposition to the Minister of Agriculture.

The figures given were : Entered in Superior Courts 7.041 cases Number of judgments obtained,. . . .2.428 For a total amount of $2,500,900 Entered in Countv Courts 8,800 actions Judgments entered for $488,408 Entered io Diviaion Courts 68,054 cases Amount of claims $2,447,196 The Diviidon Courts are not only self-sustaining but they pro- duce a revenue to the Province. In the course of 20 years the Provincial Revenue benefited to the amount of $104,000 from the oeroentages collected by Government from Division Oourt Clerks on their emoluments. For the past few years there has been a decrease in the busi- ness of the courts, yet notwithstanding the decrease in their fees the clerks paid into the Provincial Treasury last year the sum of $4,014. T^ere has been a good deal of misconception in the public mind as to the emoluments of the officers of the courts. Here are the figures, taken from the annual report for 1900: There are altogether 826 clerks and 868 bailiffs. Over 100 clerks receiving less than $100 a year for servicee. About the same number who receive over $100 and under $200 a year. 42 who get between $200 and $800 a year. 23 with $300 and under $400. 16 over $400 and under $500. 9 over $500 and under $600. 6 over $600 and under $7U0. 2 over $700 and under $800. 8 over $800 and under $&0A. 6 over $900 and under $1,000.

Of the 400 townships in older Ontario, meetings have been held in 286; in most cases two, three or -four meetings in a township, at which roadmaking in all its branches has been discussed. These meetings, with rare exceptions, are laroely attended, and a strong interest in road improvement is created which, directly and indirectly, is turned to practical account on the roads of the distriets thus visited. The result has been that throughout the Province there has been a general improvement n- regards me- thods of draining roads, grading them, applying gravel or stone construction of culverts, and the implements used. Not only so, but in fully one-eighth of the Province there has been a complete and radical change in the system of road management, the plans of the Commissioner being fully adopted. This last feature is gathering strength as the movement progresses, and each year witnesses an increasing number of townships added to the list of those which have completely reformed their system of roadmaking. The latest development of the move- ment has been the appropriation of one million dollars by the Legislature to aid in the improvement of country roads County councils will first have the right, if they so desire, to secure the county's share of the money to be spent on a county system of roads ; failing in this, township councils may individ- ually obtain their proportion of the amount. The movement has been carried to the towns, villages and cities o2 the Province, and in street improvement the results have been most marked. The work has also been extended to colonization roads, and township road building in New Ontario, where proper methods can be adopted from the beginning, bated on the experience of the older townships. The Ontario Labor Bureau. Although induitrial conditions are exceptionally favorable in Ontario, and the Province has enjoyed a most fortunate record in that respect, the Provincial Government has showed wisdom and precaution in the estrMishment of a Department of Labor for the purpose of collecting and publishing from time to time statistics as to the general condition of the wage-earners in all nnportant and recognized occupations.

SeceipU and ExpendUv/rt$, 1867-1901— AneU and Liabiliti9». On the 2nd day of November. 1899, a Royal Commiision was appointed by the Government (1) to examine the book* of the Treasury Department • in order to test the accuracy of the receipt! and expenditures as shown in the Public Accounts; (2) to submit a statement of the moneys expended out of revenue on public works and buildings and on railways for each year since Confederation; (8) to examine and report upon the assets and liabiUties of the Province; (4) to report whether the methods of book-keeping adopted by the Department set forth, clearly and with such reasonable details, as are usual in the case of large financial institutions, the business affairs of the Province. The CJommission was composed of John Hoskin, K.C., LL.D., President of the Toronto General Trusts Corporation ; Byron E. Walker, General Manager Canadian Bank of Commerce; and Angus Kirkland, Manager of the Toronto Branch of the Bank of Montreal. The Commissioners employed as an expert accountant, W H. Cross, a member of the Chartered Accountants Associa- tion. All the books and papers of the Treasury Department were placed at the disposal of the Commissioners and the accountaci, and the utmost Uberty was allowed them in con- ducting their investigations. Their first report showed the receipts and expenditures to the 3l8t of October, 1899. Subsequently these figures were extended so as to include the whole of the calendar year down to the Slst of December, 1899, as it was considered more convenient that their statement should terminate with the year. 109 BUILD UP ONTARIO 110 WOVIXCi, ""»"«««•.

BUILD UP ONTARIO Ontario as a Pioneer and Leader in Legislation and Departmental Organization. Ontario under Liberal rule has long been recognized as a pioneer and leader in legislative reforms, an* departmental work, but the extent to which this is true may not be generallr known. The following facts selected from a large number will be of interest : CROWN LANDS DEPARTMENT. The Ontario Crovm Timber BegtUations have been lanraly copied by the other Provinces. The Ontario Jgire Act has suggested similar legislation to Quebec, New Brunswick and British Columbia. The Ontario Fire Rangvng System (in which this Province was the pioneer) has been adopted, in whole or in part, by Quebec, New Brunswick, and the Dominion as regards the western timber land? still controlled by the Department of the Interior. The Qovemment of the United States, in establishing a fire ran^ng system to cover its public lands, practically copied the Ontano system. CuUer'a Examinations.— Tbia system has been copied bv Quebec. ^ ^. PiUpwood Policu.— The Crown Lands Policy regarding Crown pulpwood lands of granting leases or concessions, conditional upon the erection of mills, the employment of a minimum number of men, and other features, has been adopted by Nova Scotia, British Columbia and Newfoundland, although the rights of the public are more carefully safeguarded under the Ontario system in that the rate of dues may be increased from time to time, whereas in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland a fixed rental is charged according to area, no dues being required.

The Provincial Assay Ojffice. ^ In 1901 the authorities of the Province of Quebec wrote for full particulars respecting the Provincial Assay Office at Belle- ville, steting that they had in contemplation the establishment of such an office for the Province of Quebec. Full -wticulars were furnished, and as to the benefits which the office in Ontario had upon the mining industry of this Province. Shortly after- wards the Quebec Government opened an Assay Office in Mon- treal, no doubt as the direct result of the example set by Ontario. Lutiaond^ Drills. .Jy°A f ^^?^ ^"^ '^ the Government of Nova Scotia applied for information respecting the diamond drills operated by the Ontario B ^f ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^ ^ Government of that Province had authority from the legislature to purchase one or more such drills for use in testing the mineral deposite in that Province. It is most likely thJ^exampleTf Ontario influenced in this direction, although the idea of iiding the mining industry in this way was not original with this Pro- vince, having been some time before adopted in New Zealand and one or more of the colonieft in AustraHa.
