Mr. MOLLOY:

Yes. Hon. gentlemen are pleading for the farmers, and it has been said that the farmers will not get in on this. The hon. member for Dufferin (Mr. Best) last night was worried about the farmers, but let me say to that hon. gentleman and others on the opposite side that they would do well to look out for the farmers, for there is no doubt whatever that the farmers, to use the common expression, will fix them all right. In the county of Dufferin, where, in the old days, a Liberal candidate was lucky to save his deposit, and where the present member (Mr. Best) was elected in 1917 by 2,500 or mdre, in the last provincial election, a U.F.O. candidate carried the seat by a majority of about 600. I am not worrying about the farmers, and II am quite ready to take my chance with the farmer and the Unionist, and I shall be glad to meet on common ground with any Tory.

Mr. MOLLOY:

Some years ago the results of an election were affected by the action of a returning officer who, the previous night, moved a polling station, with the locus of which the electors were thoroughly acquainted, to a place of which they knew nothing. The consequence was that the next morning when they turned up at the old place there was no polling station.

1. Is the Government aware of the general dissatisfaction of the shippers of grain from the West with the Government terminal weights at Port Arthur and Fort William?

2. If so, what measures, if any, have been taken to investigate and remedy same?

3. If any investigations have been held by the Board of Grain Commissioners or other commission, has their report been received, and [DOT]what has been, if any, their recommendation?

Mr. MOLLOY:

the Government closed the market when it was an ascending market? .

Mr. MOLLOY:

One hundred and eighty-five after the soldier vote was counted.
