"ERA OF SURPLUSES"

ln its feverish, and therefore ll‘-

responsible anxiety about the colli- ing election the Patriot charged

the Conservative party with the in- auguration of deficits. As is usual

made some statements which are 51111 on record. One of these state- ments, elaborately and elfldlle-flilli oppressed by ‘.\ll', H1885 W115 lllr“ 11,;- hail tho promise of the govern- ment that the civic Poll m‘ “Tmld be reduced to two dol1ars.- Anot-

with our contemporary on the eve: of an election, it makes statements that are ridiculously wrong.

The first surplus recorded in this province in the past twenty three

years was in 1913 when the Mathia- son government brought out a sur- plus of $15,565.56. This was not a "bookkeeping surplus" either, nor was it secured by means of bor-

who paid this tax town or coun- try citizens or farmers‘! lVell in 1921 there were 541 persons I11 Charlottetown and the Royalty who paid $1,641 and the balance of the $36,510 was paid outside. Some of the farmers may have helped to pay it!

1n 1922 just 314 persons ill the city paid $942, but including llll? Royalty there were 476 who paid in Government poll-taxes SL128.

Moreover the provincial poll-tax covers the ages 21 up to 65, while the city poll-tax only runs to 60 years. We add 10 per cent to this on account oi’ the extra five years, and 5 per cent for residents oi the Royalty, to whom the city tax does

OTTAWA. Ont... June lL-The Historicnl Section of the General Staff. Department of National Defence. has compiled the two ex- ceedingly interesting lists append- ed covering the entire field otl Canadian Military coperatlolls inl France and Flanders from the. action of St. Eloi, March. 1915. in which the Princess Patricias til-st bore Canadian colors into battla! to the taking of lilons on Armistice Day. These have not only prime historic value but will appeal directly to every Canadian soldier who served on the West Front.

The first list—"A"—-lticlutles the important engagements in which Canadians participated. List “B" gives the complete and detailed record of all battles and engagements in which Canadians participated on the West Front, including the Canadian C1lv'ulry' Brigade.

For the first time the accepted nomenclature of the different engagements is made public. such being approved by the Battles Nomenclature Committee appoint- ed by the War Office. The opera- tions shown in capitals are those designated by the committee as “Battles" operations shown 1n lower case are those designated b)’ the same committee us "izttiolis" 0r “Tactical Incidents“ -—~S0lll8 of which would ilidcted have constituted a sot btlttlc a generation ago.

That is a qucstlcnl farmers their sons and daughters to consider. The Bell Government and its lsupportersi who so dearly love the tarmem. might throw some light on tllc question.
