Mr. Msthieson dealt with Prem- ier Jones‘ sllegation that the pre- sent Conservative national leader, Col. Drew, had, along with Pum- ler Duplessis of Quebec, been re- sponsible for breaking up the Do- nflnlon-tfiflllllldiil conference on taxation. He cited from I-larlsapd to show that this was not the case so far as Col. Drew was con- corned.

l-le also took issue with the Premier on the question of Col. Drewbmttitude towards the entry of Newfoundland into Confederat- ion, polnting out that the ques- tion in dispute involved amending the British North America Mt without consulting the Provinces. What Col. Drew wished to prevent was the establishment of a dang- erous precedent on a nutter af- fecting the constitutional rights of all the Provinces.

"So far as margarine is concern-

ed I am a free-trader and I cannot see that the banning of margarine in this Province would be in ac- cordance with free trade princip- les," declared Mr. Geo. E. Seville, (Lib. Fifth King's). "If Nova Scctia were to forbid the use of margarine it might be of some benefit to us. as we are exporters of butter. ut there is nu more reason why we should ban margarine than molas- ses, peanut butter or corn syrup. which also are used on bread as butter substitutes. "But I am willing to support any measure to protect the people so that they will know what they are buying," he added.

I-le also strongly supported the principle of workmenfls compensa- tion. Georgetowrfls need of s better paved road was also emphasized and he said this was more necess- nry than even better schools, for schools without good roads would not be of much service. '

He took issue with the Opposi- tlon claim that road work was not carried on late last fall. He instan- ced the work done in his own dis- trict ln this connection.

He hoped the Minister intended to pave the road into Georgetown this year. There were many ships loaded with pit-props there last year and the port was admittedly one of the best on the Atlantic.

Income Tax Discussion At Farmers Week

The question of whether s "tax- payers’ advocate" should be in- stalled st tile locLl Incense Tax office to assist farmers in filing their returns provoked lively dis- ‘cuasion whenrsised by Senator John E. Sinclair at yesterday's alnnusl meeting of the P. E. I. Federation of Agriculture.

Cries of -"Yes," "Just another bureaucrat." "Away with Income Tax" could be heard in the en- suing commotion, as the farmers left _the Legion Hall st the end of the afternoon session.

During (no spirited discussion on the Income Tax resolution. Benet- or Sinclair answered some of the criticisms which it contained. He suggested that the exemption amount should be left as i and an attempt made to lower e rate. Later he pointed out that s- ferm- er is allowed to give his son $4,- 000 s. year out of capital, exempt trom gift tax.

Farmers rose up all over the Hall asking the Senator to give his opinion on specific eases. Smith

(MscFerlane. Harrington. said that

the administration of the-Income Tax Act seemed s reversal of the British idea by which s. farmer was “guilty ‘until he proved him- self innocent." ,

Money had also been given by way of relief, and notes taken in return. Mr. Seville said. But there was never any effort made to col- lect these relief notes until this year, Many of the recipients of these loans are now dead, or are on old age pensions. These amounts never should have been included as assets of the Board.
