SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1915.

It is interesting at the present D0\itiC\\i JUUCWTG to re'

vert to that interesting period in -the history Of me L“’e"“l pany when in 1911 they found thenlseives drifting heir- lessly on the rocks on which the survivors of the party are once more struggling to regain a footing. They Were facing two bye-elections which to lose meant annihilation and which to win would give them another session and another opportunity to apportion among UIGIHSGIVBB what remained of the loot.

They were bankrupt. There was nothing iii sight but

direct taxation and towards this last hope they began 1°

in chief, Mr. l~‘. J. Nash, was contesting the bye-election in the Belfast district, was gingerly leading the way towards this final hope. ln its issue of Nov. 2, 1911. The P3il`|0t fiombuoyantly informs its readers that the assessments per head of the population in Ontario for the year 1909 were: “]ii townships, $6.81; in towns and villages, $9.13; in cities, $14.53," and adds, “If we take into coiisideration the amount of land, road and income tax paid by the people of this province outside of Charlottetown and Summerslde, it amounts to about $55,000 per annum. Add to this $35,000 voted iit school district meetings, a total of $90,000, which is only about $1.10 per head, so it will be seen that the people of the rural districts of Ontario are taxed about seven times as heavily as our people. lf our farmers were taxed as heavily as the farmers of Ontario they would have to pay over half at million dollars annually. In New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, also, the general government.

only pays a small part of the teachers' salaries, leaving the municipalities and school districts to raise the bal- ance."

As election day approached the Patriot became more

anti more enthusiastic and more and more rattled, for we find some discrepancies in its figures. Figures, however, never troubled the Patriot, neither did their accuracy. ln its issue of Nov. 14, 1911, we find the following, among other thingsiwhich were being thrown overboard: “There are 15,000 faruiers on the Island and their contributions to the general revenue amount to only about $3.50 per head, about one tenth of the average amount paid by farm- ers in Ontario.” This was ii “last word" in the Patriot be- fore the fatal election in Belfast and this was the manner

in which they proposed to run matters--tax the farmers. Fortiiiiately for the province the farmers took the sensible view of the matter and the next issue of the Patriot, dated the day after the election, tells how: "We have been de- feated lii a good cause; we have gone down with flying

after the General Election of Jan., 1912, when Mr. Nash tried conclusions with the electors of Charlottetown and R0Y8ity, the history of the encounter also appeared in the Patriot: “It has been borne in upon us that neither the country nor the city wanted us.”

The Grits went bankrupt in 1911 but were prepared to

tux the farmers if again entrusted with the government. Now that the Mathieson Government has placed the pro- vince on its financial feet, now that the Matlifeson Gov- ernment has secured a subsidy of $100,000 for 51| time to come from the Dominion, the Grits are anxious to have another try at financing the affairs of the province, Wm the people trust them? Should they trust them? They certainly will not and should not.

Muimiir iiAizi16’uirs True MEN

M T119 Devple of Murray Harbour District know Hon.

urdoch McKinnon and Mr A. P. Prowse sufficiently well

'-0 keeiily resent the insidious attacks being made upon

them by the iiuartette of political adventurers Messrs. Wil- S011, MCVi0. Schurman and Bentley.

Mr. McKinnon has been a total iibstalner all his

life, a teniperaiice reformer all his life, and the most ad. vanced toinperance legislator the province has ever known.

Mr. A. P. Prowse is probably the greatest and most

highly Fssbected temperaiice man in the Province. We dare any one, or all. of the political adventurers now camp- liig in Murray Harbour to point to any man who is more highly respected and esteemed for his temperance prlii- elples. or who more conscientiously advocates and furthers temperance in our midst. Mr. Prowse has never tasted, touched or handled intoxicants in his life,

A YET THESE ARE THE MEN THOSE TWO ITINER- Vg; POLITICAL PARSONS. AND TWO POLITICAL AD-

TURERS HAVE SET OUT TO TRADUCE FOR THE

PURPOSES OF REVENGE.

We give the people of Murray Harbour credit for put-

ting more faith in two of their own people who have lived among them all their lives, whose consistency they have

‘known and appreciated all their lives, than in revengeful office-seekers who have been disappointed and discom- flted, and who have gone to the length of converting churches and lemperance lodges into political hustlngs, to gratify their hateful vengeful lust. .

I Ttconsisrizncr

While Messrs David Schurman and W. D. Wilson are

shedding tears ln the Fourth District of Kings over the “lax administration of the Prohibition Act." and incident- ally accusing Hon. Murdoch McKinnon of lying-because he refused to appoint Mr McVie a prosecutor-they forget! that under the Grit Government, which they are trying to resurrect "ln the interests of temperance" .(?). two licensed vendor shops were permitted to do open business unmolested. and that during the Msthleson Govemment, which they are so vlciously fighting-also " ln the interests of temperance” (7)-the vendors licenses were cancelled and the vendor shops closed. They also ignore the fact that during the past eight months, according to official records, there was 35 per cent. less drunkenness in Char-. lottetown than in the corresponding period in 1914. The figures arc: in 1914, 154 convictions; ln 1915, 101 convlgr-"‘

steer their staggering barque. The Patriot, whose editor ,‘

MR. BRODIE'S S0-CALLED "‘ FACTS ”

f Both at Wlneloe snd York Mr. Peter Brodie, "tha gle- ing hope" of the Liberal party, stated that the Government had spent $22,000 of the $26,000 of the Dominion Agricul- tural Aid Grant on salaries. Mr. Donald Nicholson, M. P.. contradicted him at Winsloe, but he returned to the charge at York and said he had the blue book to prove lt.

Let us see what the Blue Book-does say on the sub-

ject. Turn to page 85 Appendix II. of the Department of Agriculture in the report of the Provincial Auditor and our readers will find the following which we reproduce ver- batlm:

PROSPECTS

The Grits are making very poor headway ln their can-

vas in the city and Royalty. That _was to be expected Of course from the outset.

Within the past few days two conventions were held

in Cliarlottetowii, one Grit, the other Conservative and boi.h forthe purpose of nominating candidates to represent the City and Royalty. At the Grit convention there were fewer than two score present. at the Conservative conven- tion the Board of Trade Rooms were not large enough to accommodate those who tried to get in. At the former men were urged to accept candidature, not ln the hope of being elected, but in order that the district might not go to the Conservatives by acclamation, which would have a demoralising effect upon Grit prospects throughout the province. Two men were persuaded to make the sacrifice. At the Conservative convention the most prominent men of ull sections of the community were present and, with- out exception, they endorsed the buslnessllke administra- tion of Premier Mathleson, ridiculed the idea of imagining for ii moment that any considerable number of the people of the province should, after the experience of the past three and a half years, desire to make ii change hi the administration. Business men throughout the province, representative farmers, who recognise business methods When they see them are practically unanimous in declaring that not only is there no probability of a change of government, but that such ii. change, if by any mishap it came about, would be ii calamity. The prospects, judg- ing not by the noise made by_ the ofllce-seekers, but by the sound common sense of the provliice, are that the Mathie- iion Government will again sweep the country. This is the impression left at practically every meeting held throughout the province. ' '

GRITS AND THE AUTUS

Mr Peter Brodie. or “Kaiser Pete," as he is now

familiarly known in the York district, has been the leading Grit spokesman at the meetings in the Third District. Mr Brodie's pet topic is, of course, the Automobile Act--and he opposes the return of two men who ure anti-autoists like himself. Why is this? Simply because Mr Brodie is ii Grit first, foremost and always, and an anti-auto pledge is to him “ merely a scrap of paper." _

In proof of this we have Mr Brodie supporting a party

committed to the policy of the continuance of the Auto Act on the Statute Book. The Grit Party has issued a "platform" over the signature of its leader, Mr Benjamin Rogers, and in that platform there is not one word about repealing the Automobile Act. Why? Because the Grit party has no intention, even if returned to power, of repealing the present law.

The Auto Act is circumscribed by restrictions whlcli

puts its operation or' otherwise entirely in _the hands of the peolpe. If seventy-five per cent. of the people in any one district declare themselves in favour of the running of automobiles in their own district, they may, all other things being equal, have them. lf seventy-five per cent. do not favour them, the autos cannot be permitted to run. This ls local option. and local option ie the keynote ol' the most advanced democracy.

But " Kaiser Pete," like his namesake, has no use for

Democracy or Democratic rule. He sees only the need there is for a cry with which to get the Grits into power, so lie shouts “ autos! " at the pitch of his voice, and takes good care not to refer to the conspicuous absence of any anti-auto pledge in the Grit manifesto.
