l/IO conclusions. In the first place, that it is not feasible to salvage the Clmrlottetown for the purpose of reconditioning her as an breaking steamer; and in the sec- 0nd place that owing to the dif- ficulty of securing the materials and shipyard facilities and labour, it ls not possible at the present time to commence the construction of a new vessel to replace the Charlottetown.

“They are, however, investigating to the fullest extent the possibil- ities ocf obtaining a steamer which would carry out the service, partic- ularly in the summer months. and which would enable the Prince Ed- ward Island to be lard up for a thorough and efficient overhaul. The Prince Edward Island with such an overhaul—it would prob- ably necessitate several months withdrawal from the service- would be a reasonably efficient steamer for the wiHtBY svfvlce- U11- less some accident happens to her she would probably be able to carry on the winter service and the summer service with auxiliary as- sistance until such time as mizht be feasible for the ccmmencement of the construction of a 118W and efficient steamer.

“ y hon. friend asks what would happen if we got a winter of serious ice conditions. I have not 590C111- cally checked u-p on the ice condi- tions, but 1 think it would be found that the present winter has pro- bably presented the most serious ice conditionswhzch have Prevail" ed in the strait of Northumberland for many years up to the present season of the year and that a great deal of the difficulty enwlnvered by the car ferry steamer has re- Silllflil not so much from her in- efficiency as from the 1c? 001161- tlons caused bl’ m9 Dmvalhlll; 915'" eriy and southeasicrly winds."

The situation, Premier Campbell admitted, was serious in view of the danger of unforseen accidents which might cause a tieurp. At the 5mm time the present steamer was “ccmparativelifl efficient. When she is reconditioned she will be a more efficient ice breaker than she ever was.

RED CROSS MONEY STOLEN- City police last night rounded up four young boys, all of them Juve- niles, shortly after the theft of a Red Cross contribution can from Milton's Old Spain. They are al- ieged to have kept watch on the entrance to the restaurant seizing an opportune time for their bold venture. when the cashier had turned her back, the youths open- ed the door quickly and grabbed the can. The girl did not know who they were but immediately no- tified the police. Constables A. J. Dowling and Robert Dalziel re- sponded to the call and after ques- tioning some other boys, who were around the door, found out the name of one of the boys. The! soon located all four. One had gone to the hockey game; another ‘ ' -‘ he threw the money away as he was afraid to go home with it; the remaining two said they had spent their share. The can contained about $2.50. The boys will be dealt with by the Juvenile Court.

Tax agreement Comes up in N.S. Legislature

HALIFAX. March, l8-(C p)_ Legislation to authorize the propos. ed Dominion-Provincial Tax agree- ment was introduced in the Nova Scotia legislature today A. S. MacMlllan, though he told the house his government did not consider this province had been "dealt with as fairly" in the agree- mglilt a}; some of are ‘others.

e emer sa s proposal was "definitely. . .Not what the government of this province would wish It to be. and we do not feel, taking everything into considera- tion. that we have been dealt with l! fairly as some of the other pro- vinces." But his administration, he said, felt it should accept the agree- ment as a war measure.

Major points of the agreement, as explained by the Premier, pro- vide that the Province vacates the income and corporation tax fields in retum for a yearly payment of $2,900,430, less the amount of any income or corporation taxes col- lected by the province and other deductions totalling not more than 0,000,430. The arr-cement also guarantees an equivalent of the provincial revenue rom the surren- dered gasoline tax on n "I40 basis. The qesoline revenue that year was 32.893363

Referring to the decrease federal income lax collections for the Charlottetovm district, Prem- ier Campbell suggested this was due, not to a decrease fn taxes paid by residents of this Province, but to the withdrawal of certain companies which were known to be dcmiclled in the province, and which have either wound lip their operations or have reorganlmd their business in such a way that the tax is now collected in some other district.

"I believe that the income tax collections, frcm the res'denls of Price Edward Is'and have not fallen off but have actually in- creased." he said.

have been new '21 w the operation of this i-fl-X. ml‘ non. friend wouldhave been quite correct in suggesting that the tax should be put into effect immed- iately. But the legislature at its last session passed this Act and suspended its operation for the specific reason that litigation was pending regarding the validity of a similar Act in the province of New Brunswick. pf the Legislature had not intended the government to wait until the decision in that litigation before putting the tax into effect, then the Legislature would not have ut in the sus- pending ciause ut would have brxtrught tlhe tax into effect immed- iately. I think, however, that so far as information the; available to the Legislature was concerned, thev acted wisely.

“The apllcal case from the New Brunswick tax decision was pend- ing before the Supreme Court of Canada, When I say it was pend- ing 1 mean rather that the appeal had been heard in February and the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada was pending. Alppar- ently the case was regarded as one of great importance by the Court. because it was not until October that they delivered their judgment. The judgment was in favor of the validity of the New Brunswick Act and inferentially in favor of our own ct. But the matter was still open for an appeal to the Privy Council, and we wait- ed approximately three months- what we considered a reasonable period-for an appeal to be lodged. On obtaining information from the Gflvemmfiut of “New Brunswick that they had up to that time (January 201 received no notice or intimation that a-n apneal was m be filed, we began to take steps to bring the tax into effect in this Province; and it was brought into effect as of the first day o: Mai-eh.

"only a 19w days after we had made our arrangements we learned that the tobacco interests had filed an aipplicatLon for leave to appeal to the Privy Council, and We 01 the lfilizest of the compan- iies requested us to pcstpons our collect-ion of the tobacco tax until the a/plpeal should be determined, which they estiznated would take a period of approximately a year. W611. We had our forms with the pfl-IITEI‘, we had our regula/tioru: passed and promulgated, we hac all our arrangements made an: didn't feel like backing down a that time merely because an plication had been filed to appeal. In view of my hon. friend's sug- gestion that we should have brought it into effect a year ago, Itakg it that he will now approve of our action, even i.f'an application for appeal to the judicial committee of the Privy Council is allowed, It is our intention to maintain the Act unless and until the New Bruns. wick Act is declared ultra vlres."

"When the Sirois Commission report fell thrmlsh. even in the in- itial stages. before it was given consideration," said Premier Camp- bell, "the Dominion Government was faced with the problem of conducting its wartime economy and of collecting ifs wartime rev- enues under a condition which was very greatly complicated. Two of the rinclpai sources from whim Dominion Government hoped to secure their revenue were iu- come taxes and corporation taxes. The fields of those taxations were shared by the various provinces. Thmmhout the various provinces taxes of those classes were collect- ed with varying rates and varying incidence. The result was that with the heavy increase in those clams of taxation whim the Do- minion Government found it nes- essarv to

War Service Appointment

The appointments to military and civilian war service offices. he said, are not made om a political basis. Iii’ there was any criticism which the Dominion and Provinc- ial Governments hear it is to the effect that there are too many Conservative appointees.

Dr. MacMillan: " ho made the. recommendations?"

Premier Camp-bell: "That ts what I would like to know." Dr. Macmillan: "The

generally says it was ycurse ."

Premier Campbell: "There are certain of these at pointmenis on which the Provlnc s1 Government Was consulted; for example on the question of a Regional war Labour Board. The Prov ncial Government was asked to recommend the set- up for that beard for the reason that in the other provinces there existed a Department of Labour. ‘Ihese Regional War Labour Boards in provinces which h-ad a. Depart- ment of Labour were set up and ad- ministered tinder the direction of the Department of Labour. In a similar way the Provincial Gov-

ernment was consulted here.

Mr. I-I. P‘. MacPhee: “Are those the Conservatives. on the Regional War Labour Board?"

Premier Campbell: "Well. didn't inquire into their politics."

Mr. MacPhee: "Do on lmow anything about their pohtics?"

Premier Campbell: "I know something about some of them. because the President of the Exec-

utive Council was a member of that Board." Mr. MacPhee: "That illustrates

its non-partisan character. 1 sup- may.

Premier Campbell: “One of the members of that Beard. I believe, was a. candidate at a Conservative convention not so many years ago. He was at least independent in politics."

Dr. MacMillan: "Who are the Board members; give us the oer- sonnel."

Premier Campbell: "The Hon. Horace Wright, chairman; Messrs. J. M. Hunter. Leo Corcoran, and

James A. MacKinnon, executive 01- t

fliers." Dr. MaciMillan: "which was the candidate?"

Mr. MaoPhee: "It must have been Mr. Wright."

Premier Campbell: “Well, Mr. Wright has been at conventions other than Liberal. (Laughterr

Since my hon. friend wants an example, I think that the per- scnnel of the Regional War Labour Board furnishes an example of l. group of gentlemen who on var- ious occasions have displayed l. Lefityldeal of indebendenq polit-

Dr. MaciMlllan: “And then lost itl" (Laughter). .

Premier Campbell: Well, they regained a. true appreciation of perspective, I would say. But I don't want to cite thcse who have regained political insight. One of

e first ntments was that of an offi al lmcam as regional licensing ofdicer under the war- time Prices and Trade Board. and i: I am not mistaken the Bentle- man appointed to that bastion is at least not one of the formost Liberal campaigners or party 10l- lowe-rs in this city."
