The Kiri: ui‘cllcstl'a'was main in attendance and supplied excellent iriusic. The Japanese fan drill and the lninucl, both of which received very hearty applause on the opening night. were repeated and were as enthusiastically re- ceived as they had been on the first presentation. The floral dec- orations ut the bazaar, which re- ceived to much favorable comment, had been placed under the direc- tion of Mrs. James Bayer.

SPEAKS BEFORE ARMY AND NAVY CLUB -— The essential pur- pose of a trained army is to guaran- tee peace and not to promote war, Lt. Col. A. M. Landon, of St. John. N.B.. said in an address before the Army and Navy Club Wednesday night. Lt. Col. Landon, who is gen- eral staff officer of Military District No. '1. was speaking on "Military policing by the British Army during the period 1919 to 1935." In the course of his address the speaker dealt with the various uprisings which have occurred in or near Bri- tish territory within the past fifteen years. Tile British Government, he said. with the speedy and competent co-operation of civilian forces had been able to avert large uprisings which would otherwise probably have led to War. At. the conclusion of his address a hearty vote of thanks was lendcrcd the speaker by Col. U. G. Dawson, who presided,

Y’s Men Club & “Y”Campaign Dinn er Held

The regular weekly meeting of tile Y's Men's Club" last night was combined witli the third dinner of the Y. M. c. A. financial campaign. per cent of the $5,300 objective has been realized, reports at last night's meeting indicated.

Hon. T. W. L. Prowse in a brief address told the meeting that one of the pleasures of the year was working in the annual Y. M. C. A. financial campaign. For the past few years everyone has been very busy with his own afiairs, Hon. Mr. Prowse said, but there is still time for the annual drive of the "Y."

Mr. N. D. McLean, President of the T5 Men's club, announced that the club was contributing $200.00 to the campaign. Mr. W. M. Rowe. chairman oi’ the "A" division pre- sented the team captains in the "B" division with “pop" guns, signifying that they had something to shoot. at in attempting to obtain contribu- tlons for the campaign equal to what the “A" division had obtained.

A presentation was made by Mr. N. D. McLean to Mr. Cliff McDon- ald. captain of team No. 5, which had obtained the highest, percentage of its objective in yesterday's can- V858.

Dr. J. A. Clark, president of the Y. M. C. A. spoke briefly expressing his appreciation for the enthusiasm which the different groims have been showing in the campaign this year. He expressed the belief that the campaign was going over the top and requested that all taking part in the campaign should be present tonight at the dinner.

Mr. N. E. Luck also spoke briefly pointing out that the campaign had reached its most critical point and requesting cc “ ued effort in am’- mg the undertakings to a successful conclusion.

Budget

lalure last evening by Mr.

Wales College.

dresses follow: MR. WIHG HT

Mr. Horace Wright. Fourth Prince congratulated the Premier on the clear manner in which he had pre- , scntcd the finances of the pmvlnoe,l

He complained that the Guardian was not refraining from editorial criticism of the efforts of the pres- ent administration to put the pro- vince into a sound financial con- dition after four years of Conser- vative extravagance. It was re- llrelrfable, he said, that every time the Liberals had straightened ouL the finances, the Conservatives "were permitted to come in" and undo their good work.

Mr. Wright attributed to the late Conservative government a liability increase of nearly two mll‘ion dol- lars or over 50 per cent. of the total debt of the province. It now takes almost $200.000 revenue to balance the budget. “Is it any won- der that we have not been able dllring our first year to implement our promise of balancing lhe bud- get?" he asked.

He defended the calling of a spec- ial session last September as nec- essary in order to obtain authority to borrow for the purpose of re- ducing bank interest rates. $107,000 in interest charges had been saved by reason of the calling of that session, he maintained.

Every year. Mr. Wright said the unemployment problem becomes more acute. Consequently the gov- ernment has been obliged to vote money for unemployment relief. He deplored the “dole" or direct re- lief system and suzlzested the need of devising some means whereby the unemployed can be provided for without receiving the dolo. ‘There might be. he suggested, a sur- vey made of unemployed and the province divided into different sec- tions with persons appointed to see that. the money distributed in each district was given to provide work. The Agricultiual Minister has asked for a specilil grant of $8.000 to assist distressed farmers. Mr. Wright approved of this proposal. Farmers, he said, have been de- prived of their markets “owing to the tariff policies of the Bennett government to a very great. ex- tent."

The situation today is different "with a progressive Liberal admin- istration" which would ensure ex- tended markets and better prices. The present time was therefore op- portune for the Agricultural Min- islcr to put forth hL~; policy.

He had been “deluged". Mr. Wright said. with letters from con- stltuents urging him to use all his influence to have the Prohibition law maintained. He was glad to note that the government was standing Lvhind this legislation. Because we have "considerable vi- olation" of our liquor laws was no reason why we should get. discour- aged and introduce another system which would be “still harder to enforce." he said. We should in- slst that the Prohibition law be en- forced as strictly as possible. He felt it his duty to use all his in- fluence ln this regard. I-lc endorsed the Premier's efforts in this con- nection and assured him of his wholcllcarted support. ‘, (A report of the address of Mr.; Acorn, the next speaker. appears elsewhere in today‘s Guardian.)

MR. H. H. COX

Compliments to the Premier and speaker were eloquently paid by Mr. H. H. Cox. second Kings, the next. speaker. who also referred to the death of Hon. Mr. Lea and others.

Conditions in agriculture today‘ are more promising, Mr. Cox con- tlnued. Thlg might. be due to Provi- denoc, but he was inclined to be- lleve it was due “to the manage- ment of the government."

Unfortunately in the fishing in- dustry the market is practically gone and conditions are serious. codflsl-i and bake prices were cited. What is needed is markets. Mr. Cox lnslsized.

The unemployed between 18 and 22 constituted another serious prob- Eem. In a great many cases, he be- lieved. relief money is not being used properly.

Prohibition. Mr. Cox said, was like other laws. "not 100 per cent pure." but an honest effort was be- ing made to enforce it. The last election had not been fought on the prohibition issue and what was the result‘) He looked around the House and saw thirty members of one party; "good. honest, ¢ood-look- ing Llberal.s—samethfns 1 I118‘ there never was before and never will be again!" (Laughter).

Mr. Oax predicted that if the Premier continues as he his betlm. he would be returned to power four years hence.

He was pleased to note that the Agricultural Department is endeav- oring to assist needy farmers. Spec- ial effort should also be made to assist the younger men. If the .V°lmE P901118 worked as hard as did their forefathers, he filfnly believed that lJl‘0SDerlt.y and happiness would return.

MR. MCISAAC

Mr. Peter A. Mclsaac, First Kings said, he had already spoken on the Dow Address and no doubt the members thought he was “safely disposed of’ and would not speak again. However he noticed that there were fewer speakers in this “Wale from Kings ooui-my than from the other counties and "to my "W11 knowledge." he said, there are sixteen school districts and not all Hi Kings County either. which p|.y an average of less than 310 land taxes, and one district, the snail sum of $1.20. such laxity of pay- ment is all the more serious when we consider that the ave;-ggg 531- “TY D315 00 School teachers in those districts is apploxlnriately $375.00. This certainly looks to me like setting someizning for nothing. "Regarding the proposed estab- lishment of a National Park, which now seems to comprise anywhere from 400 to one million acres, it would seem to me far more pr-acu- cal to choose the smaller acreage. There are so many beauty spots on Prince Edward Island that we must make a wise choice of loca- tlon. As there are many suitable lo- cations in Kings County, that have 9553’ access to beaches. lakes. streams. etc., and as land is cheap. or in Kings County, it. seems to me. Mr. Speaker. that Kings County should be considered as 5. possible location. The purpose of our Na. tlonal Park,_1t seems, is to add to the attractions of our province as a tourist resort. Kings County pos- Se-S585 attractions which. I believe Mr. Speaker. cannot be equalled by any of the other counties. We have probably the best fishing places in Prince Edward Island, and it has been proven by mathematical cal- culations that the sun rises earlier in Kings County. so that we are in a. position to appreciate better. what a real dawn is like, and so more fully enjoy the consolations to be found in nature’: bosom, dip- ping one's very being Into the balm of the.couni.ry's freshness,

It was gratifying to note that no decrease was contemplated in the agricultural grants. I-Ie commend- ed particularly the Boy's and Gil-1's Livestock Clubs.

He urged all producers to play their part. He commended also the Credit Unicns movement.

He confidently believed that un- der Liberal admlnlstrptlon line Pfefifint year would rlsuli. in a larg- er measure of ‘prosperity and con- tcntment.

MR. J. WALTER JONES

Mr. Jones, Third Queens. com- Dllmented the Premier and others on their acquisition to office, and paid a warm tribute to the mem- OYY of the late Premier Lea. He also commended the speeches of two members in particular, Mesrs. Seville and Mucxiiinon, both fish. ermen who had taken advantage of their opportunities.

Mr. Jones did not like the pess-

' lmlstic attitude taken by the Min-

ister of Agriculture in referring to our per capita debt, which he said bore no relation to the heavy per cspita. debt. of other provinces. No province can beat the standing of our bonds on the market. The credit of the Province stands high.

With regard to the Govern- ment-‘A policy of retrenchment in road expenditures he suggegted; “When we increase expenditures on public roads it must be remem- bered that publlc roads are paying their way. That Ls about the only thing that is paying its way in this Province. It would almost. seem to justify increased expenditure. Re- putable men have stated that we can pave over 200 miles of roads, providing adequate sinking funds and have a good deal of revenue over and above, from the auto and gasoline taxes. Education. and public health are not revenue earning expenditures. Agricultural expenditures provide very little; but public roads pay their own way.

In the past. he believed, a neat mistake had been made in high- way construction. He lnstanced the Bouibport road. Adequate under- drslnage,a!ld proper back sloping were emphasised. There were only half a doaen persons -in the Prov- ince, who thoroughly understood under-drainage. It was a problem which required expert study.

In the matter of Prince of Wales College Mr. Jones said the Liberal Government in 1916 had arranged to keep up agricultural and man- ual training, but when the College was rebuilt ‘ provision for these courses was neglected. He com- mended Mr. Acon-rs reference to the lower percentage of ‘ ‘ nts passing entrance examinations and maintained the present sys- tem worked to the disadvantage of 95 per cent of the students. The late government had missed “a tremendous adva.ntage'i in not making provision for a central high school in Prince of Wales College. It is wrong for those who want scientific and mathematical training to spend two years at. Prince of Wales (xllege before matrlculating to 3. university. whereas they can matriculate in one year in the Summerslcle High School The dead languages, Mr. Jones insisted. are “too dominant" in the College curricula. The dead past should bury its dead. He him- self had spent years in studying Latin and Greek and believed the time spent on these subjects was wasted in the majority of cases. “We are going to follow this criti- clsm up." he added. “We are go- ing to reform that institution."

He urged the Minister of Ed- ucation to separate the normal course from the academic course at Prince of Wales College. He was not ashamed. he said, of his criti- cisms made during the election campaign with regard to the con- structlon of the College building. The institution is only a day- school; why heat it all night? Why have it lighted up at night, so brilliantly that the lights can be seen almost as far as Bunbury. Land taxes, he complained. were not being as well collected as school taxes because the latter are collected right in the district. In Ontario they collect between thirty and forty million donors in land taxm. The money is collected by municipalities and if the taxes are not paid, the property is seized and sold. The land tax collecting sys- tem ln this Province would have to be changed unless there was an improvement in collections.

He cited figures showing an in- crease of 600 per oent in bonded indebtedness since 1914, caused. he maintained. by development of highways, expenditure on ed- ucation, welfare service and pol- ice. An appraiser, he suggested should be appointed for each County. If the municipality system obtaining in Ontario were intro- duced here, we could reduce our legislative members to less than half the present number. as there would be far less work for the Assembly to do.

Mr. Jones commended the work of the Women's Institute: and ex- pressed regret at the departure of the manager. Miss MacMillsn. Bulls. Not Stallions

“A good deal has been said about horses." continued Mr. Jones. "I do not want to enlarge upon what has been said because it would be out of all proportion to their im- portance. They are not to be com- pared to cattle. What could you do without cattle on this Island? The Island is only a. sand-bank without cattle. Cattle are kept, not to produce butter and cheese only. but to consume the not-ma.r- ketsble products of the farm. to produce humus for the soil; to pm- vlde skim-milk. They are the back- bone of the whole fsrm. Anybody who farms knows that, The horses
