OLD DOBBIN COMES BACK

mand for Hghter, clear-legged horses.

farm and also suitable for a certain
amount of vond work. The demand

with some years is by no means keen,
nevertheless the outstanding animal
still finds o market at a good price:
The interest in the hunter and saddle
horse, however, is apparently as keen
as ever judging by the fact that the
bunt and riding clubs are inerersing
rather than,decreasing even under pre
sent conditions. This goes to show
that as conditions improve the demand
for this type of horse will steadily in-
crense, As it takes at least five years
to develop n hunter and as there is a
scarcity of them in the country today,
the horseman who continnes to breed
will be the fortunate one four or five
yenrs hence. The same holds good in
the breeding of draught horses. The
demand for horses for dranght work
is growing and-undoubtedly continne
for some time owing to economic con-
ditions. It is further safe to assume
that to many it bas been demonstrat-
ed that the horse is helping to keep
the overhend under economic pressure
nnd he will also help to lessen operat-
dng costs in better times.”

BRIGHT COLORS ARE COOLEST

———»

The current issue of Coldsterage
News Letter contains reference to the
results of tests which haye been made
to determine the relative value of the
bright colors and dark colors in keep-
ing refrigerator cars cool. The studi-
es show that the color with which the
car was painted had much te do with
the degree of penetration of solur beat
into the car, There was less penetra-
tion of solar heat through light color-
ed paints than ‘through others. Under
like conditions of radiation and expos-
ure to sunshine, car surfaces painted
red were better than those painted a
yellow, but were color than those that
were painted black, It was found also
that the difference between air and
surface temperature for stationary
cars was about twice as great as for
moving enrs.

Editorial Comment Supports
Beatty Consolidation Plan

Editoriqa! opinion throughout
Canada has been yery largely in
favor of the prapasals advanced
by E. W. Beatty, K.C.,..Chairman
and President, Canadian Pacific
Railway, laoking toward the con-
solidation of the two railway sys-
tems under cn2 management, as
the only practical means of re-
lioving the intolerable burden up-
on the Canadian taxpayers. ‘Mr.
Beatty made his proposal in a re-
cent speech before the Toronto
Canadian Club, and the following
paragraphs from leading editori-
als on the subject, clearly indicate
the nation-wide scope of support-
ing public opinion. A total of 47
daily newspapers commented up
to January 20th, of which 32 were
in favor of consolidation.

“This is far and away the most
candid, constructive, and striking
contribution to the discussion of
our transportation problem that
has yet been made.” — Nontreal
Gazette.

“Drastic action appears to be
essential if, the tremendous bur-
den is to be lifted from the should-
ens of our people.”——Halifax Her-
ald.

“It is essential with our small
population that the railway mile-
age and service should not outrun
the needs of the country."—Hali-
fax Chronicle.

“Mr. Beatty’s call for action is
timely.” — Saint John Telegraph-
Journal,

“There is much that appeals in
the suggestion of Mr, E. W. Beatty,
K.C."—Hamilton Herald,

“We agree with the President
of the Canadian Pacific Ratlway
that the country must get down to
bed rock,”"--Mail. & Empire, Tor-
onto,

“Mr. Beatty has offered a solu-
tion of the railway problem, defin-
ite steps to this end shauld not
be delayed.”—Border Cities Star,
Windsor,

“The most constructive of all
suggestions have emanated from
Mr. Beatty."— Victoria Colonist.
.“He urges the drastic remedies
he deems necessary, regardless of
every consideration, except the
salvation of the two great railway
systems and of the State.”—Van-
couver News.

“Mr. Beatty’s carefully consid-
ered pronouncement compels seri-
‘ous thought, as to whether the
unexplored perils of a monopoly
are, great. enough to-require that
the Canadian public shall go on
paying millions annually for the
doubtful privilege of haying sep-
arate systems."—Woodstock Sen-
tinel-Review... , wha. .
“Tt would-be a-muddle worse
confounded If the Duff racémmen-
dationa were to be adopted by
Parlament.” — Sherbrooke Dally.
Record. 6-0. ks :

“Mr. Beatty's view is obviously

shaped somewhat Mke a “loganberry,

It is an excellent: Jrmming: berty int’
turns out-somewhut light iu color in

in necordance with the general
* movemont as it is coming threonrh-
- Gut the world.”--Oltawa Citizen,

“What the country needs is a
cool-headed solution of a tough
problem. We can’t afford to go
on as we are doing. The one
fact stands out, that the Duff Com-
mission report was based on poli-
tics, while Mr. Beatty’s arguments
rest on the plain business re-
quirements of the situation,”"—
Sault Ste. Marie Star.

_ “Mr. Beatty has courageously
made clear the issue between half-_
baked quasi public ownership, and
full private ownership and man-
agement, operating under the con-
trol of Parliament.”—Moose Jaw
Times,

“With no solution reached, Mr. .
Beatty's address should be read
and digested. If there is to be
consolidation there must either be
& publicly owned system or a pri-
vately owned ‘system. That is
the issue. The. Duff Commission
did not settle it.” — Lethbridge
Herald,

-“The more one studies the cold
figures in the case and acquires
a betier understanding of the dis-
astrous results financially in the
operation of the C, N. R., the more
inevitable becomes the conclusion
that public ownership has pruven
disastrous.” -— Brantford Exposi-
tor,

“There appears to be no course
open but a merger of the two
great systems.”—Galt Reporter,

“Mr, Beatty has shown great
courage in his proposals,” — The
Financial Post.

“This merger seems to be the
best ,the only means of getting
out of the dilemma into which wa
are thrust.” — La Presse, Mont-
real,

“As put by the President of the
Canadiam Pacific Railway, the
choice before Canada seems to be
whether this country would best -
be served by two Insolvent rail-
roads, or by one solvent road.”"—
Toronto Telegram, :

“It is significant that Mr. Beatty
is interested primarily in bringing
about amalgamation, secondly in
the form this amalgamation
should take,”—-Calgary Albertan,

“When the two systems are
lumped into private or public
ownership, and the budgets bal-
anced, then that unified system
can be put to work for Canada."—
Vancouver Sun. ©

“E. W. Beatty, President of the
C. P, B., claims the way out: of
the mess is the amalgamation of
our two lines under one manage-
ment, and the Labor Leader is in-
clined to agree with him.”—Labor
Leader, Toronto. -— - wee
