What is the difference bciwcenlccivirs them. lie retort-ed to the HIPPIHIUITS

opposition by the Liberals to the trolicies upon which Premier Arsenault appealed to the tieople, namely. the educational tax to supply the teachers with an increase, and the road policy. They claimed that by proper economy therc ivus sufficient available money without resorting to addit- ional taxation. When they came into office, and in order to pile up a deficit against the Llonscrvtt- fives, they deliberately held over the collection of certain taxes. Now the leader of the Opposition accus- cs the tircscnt Govcrtiiucrtt doing this. if it was right then it would be right now. llut as a irrati- er of fact this ‘ts not so, because the tax officials are the satire its appointed under the Liberal itivcrrtiucnt.

The Liberal member for First Prince, (Mr. Blanchard) has a lot to say in praise of the school system utidcr the Hell Govrunient. Does he forget that in. 1921 he their figured at an indignation meeting held in the western part of his county. The Hon. gentleman, who spoke very strongly against the Boll Government at that time, was nominated next year and accepted art office ln ‘the executive of the liell Governtnent. What can be ex- pected of a innit who sacrifices his principles in that way. it he be- licvetl the Bell Government was wrong in 1921. he must of bclleveil it wrong in 1922 and lie should not ltave associated himself with men and women whom he be- lieved were acting in the proper way.
