"Mr. Arsenault wants you farmers to pay the sum oi $75,000 for educa- tion. 1 wonder it the people will stand for that?

What the Liberals Did

But Mr. Bell crime hack as Leani- er of the Government, anti thc first thing he found, as he Hays himself, was the treasury empty and tlic teachers clamoring for increased salaries. They paid them, thr- flrst year, an increase 0i‘ $lI't'.lI00; but Mr. Bell said, “We have been deceived; Premier Arsenault pro- mised that we- would have a sur- plus of $740, anti we thought we could pay the teachers without atl- ditional taxes, on that promise." Imagine such wise worth-t coming from n Leader of the Government! lie said, “lt is true we promised to carry on without further taxa-

i tion, but we thought we were going ‘ to have ssurpltis of $7110." Did he think he could have paid the teach-

ers out of that? '
