What golden memories SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1922 — BISTINGYISHED THEMSELVES We note by the Patriot cof Thurs; day that the Prince Edward Is land members have distinguished jthemselves at Ottawa. “The l House.” ‘the Patriot informs us “is attended by them in the after. noons even so iate a8 midnight and between one and two o’cicok ‘oceasions.” In these Strenwous attendances and sleep. on some less‘ watchings over the interests province, the Patriot says they have secured a number of grants for Prince Ed |ward Island. The only item worthy of ‘the Patriot's fulsome adulation is that for $14,000 “for haroors ‘af their. native and rivers generally,” a revote of an item passeq year after wear and of which not more than $3,000 has been spent in any one year since it was first placed in the esti mates. Mr. J. J.. Hughes in elo- quently pleading for this is reported in Hanzard as saying: revote “It is not a'new vote and if the money igs not wanted it will not 'be expended and no. harm will be done. The item passed ag it has passed year after year for many jyears and of which the province |never. received more than’ an ‘in- jfinitessmal fraction, ‘ In. the list, however, we find not ls dollar for the standardization of |the remainder of the Prince Ed: | ward Island Railway nor an elo quent protest by any of the Island members. against its omission al. though the Patriot’s interpreta | geniously ation through reduced duties and adding $35,000,000 in. sales tax) “ang promising | mores (which same kind). “He has resisted tne temptation to yield to the Pro- gressive pressure for more Tadical changes. ‘He has disappointed some Liberals who were disposed to expect sweeping changes.” “The farmers in particular and the consumers in general have gained fewer concessions than they wished,” adds The ‘Telegraph. Throughout its ‘whole editorial comment, The. Telegraph is in- evasive and frankly apologetic. The Toronto Globe swallows it with attempts at explanation. It comments thusly: ‘ “The increase in the sales tux by fifty per cent in the Fielding budget has one feature of special significance. At present the is four per cent, and like the old rate it will make no discrimination between the countries from: which the goods are imported; but the increase of two per cent will be more than offset on imports from Great Britain of enamelled ware, cotton fabrics, flannels, lustrea, woollen fabrics, woollen clothing, rubber clothing, knitted goods, and boots and shoes, by an increase tax of 2 1-2 per cent in the preferen- tial tariff on these products.” Comments from other Upper Canadian papers are equally in formative, equally apologetic, and equally evasive, many of them un- consciously humorous. heaven forbid if it is tobe of the} * -| McLaren ‘which is always Rogers.
