It is pleasing to learn that our Minister is in excellent health, not- withstanding the fact that he (with the Other Ministers) has been “kept busy day and nigh” bringing up those “appalling arrears of work.” He graciously informed the would

reporter that

the tariff reform, on which Sir Richard Cartwright and Mr. Fielding are even now eogaged, the iniquitous Franchise Act is to be abolished. But he did not intimate the nature,of tLe tariff reform or the franchise that is to be accorded. Nor did be vouch- safe any light concerning the settlement of the Manitoba school question, It is to be regretted that the reporter did not make good his rare opportunity to obtain some information upou this point. The Liberals and McCarthyites of Manitoba are—so the t:legrams say—exiremely anxious to learn what the terms of the settlemeutare. Mr. Sifton, the nomination which is to make good his appointment tothe Department of the Interior until he to assure his friends concerning the conditions of the settlement. According to the latest des- patches it bas leaked out that the electors have given Mr. Sifton to understand that uniess the school question bas been settled in a manner satisfactory to them, he need not look to them for election. We quote;

“Qur demand is nothing short of a satis- factory settlement. The principles of na- tioual schools must be absolutely main- tained. We are a unit with the spirit of Major Mulvey’s rewarks in the Legisla- ture regarding the defending of the consti- tution of our province ana Dominion of Canada, and will not take from the Liber- als what we refused to take from the Con- servatives.”

There is evidently a hitch in the nego- tiations. Itis possible that rome other politician desires to be bought. But, however this may be the people of Manito- ba want the information which the Patriots reporter failed to obtain from the distinguished and courteous Minister of Marine. But,—

“Just beiore closing the interesting in- terview Mr. Davies informed the reporter that it was the intention of Hon. Mr. Blair, Minister of Railways and Canals, to hold a searching investigation into the Prince Edward Isiand Railyway with a view to its more effective workiog and the bring: ing of the revenue and expenditure nearer to ap equilibrium. The reason of the annual deficits will be equired into, to ascertain if such cannot be le+seued ,’

We feel sure that Mr. Blair will be heartily welcomed to the Island Province, The late Government made concessions, from time to time, to the demands of the people for a reduction of rates; but they never fully met our views. There can be no doubt that much freight is carried: by private conveyance or moved by steamers would be taken by rates of freight

The late Government failed to recognize the fact that the condi- tions existing here are totally ditferent from those of tue mainland. The main- land is sparsely settled, the hauls are long and the competition of water carriers is not sharp. This the hauls are necessarily short; the popu- lation is comparative lydense and the people have the alternative of traflic by water aud

Province is emall and

by teams. Under these circumstances way freights ought io be encouraged by the railway authorities. We believe that the revenues of the railway might be materi- ally increased if the rates were materially reduced ; and we trust that the Minister of Railways consider this point when he comes. Ue ought, however, to be reminded that the deficits which have appeared against our railway have been partially caused by the ex- change of iron rails for steel rails, wooden bridges for iroa and stone bridges, clap board fencee for woven wire fences. The Minister of Railways certainly ought to know that the road has been greatly im- proved by his predecessors and that the improvements have been charged against revenue, and not against capita!. He will, consequently, in the future, be in so much the better position to make concessions to the popular demand for reduced rates and fares. If he will but read L’Impartial of this week, he will see an. other opening for railway reform. L’Im- partial protests vigorously, in the name ¢ f the West, againtt the recent reversion to a “primeval time table.” It contends that the Government have, by their time table given 4 slap in the face to the people of the West; that sufficient time at Summerside ig not allowed to Western passengers by the single tra'n afforded; that the short time that ie allowed is not at a convenient hour of the day; that the West is a day be- hind io respect to maile; and that, speaking gnerally, the interests of the West have not at all been considered. It aeks what io Heaven’s name presents the steamer from being reached in the morning and evening as last year, and maintains that the rights of the West to railway facilities and the prompt delivery of mails are as

goo! as those of the East. “If,” it says, “euch a time table stands any length of time or is ever perpetrated again there wil! be war to the knife.” Here also is matter for the consideration of the Minister of eaeeave when he comes to Prince Edward

THE PROVINCIAL SITUATION,

Letter From Mr. W. 8, Stewart, Q, C.

Sin,—Owing to the stupidity of the editor of the Patriot and a typographical | error which appeared in my letter of yes~ | terday which made $169,000 read $160,000 | I am obliged shortly to restate my position | with regard to the educational portion of the scheme of provincial administration which I have proposed. In my first letter I stated that the ordinary revenue after repealing the land and income taxes, with- out counting the Land Office receipts, would be sufficient to meet all the services the Province except the payment of the teachers’ a'aries and leave a balance of $45,- 000 which could be devoted to educat e1. The editor of the Patriot seems to think that when the ordinary teacher? sve paid the whole cost of education is provided for. Before sending broadcast through his paper such an absurd statement he should have scanned any one of the yearly public accounts of the province. If he will look at page 16 of last year’s accounts he will find that there was paid for teachers salaries !ast year $111,098.48, aud if he will look a little further into the same volume he will ascertain that the cost of education

for thesame year was $121,781.17. The difference between these two amounts is $10,682.79 which represents the cost of

the four schoo! inspectors, the superinten— dent and hisclerk, the Prince of Wales College and its staff of professors, the scholarships and several other charges of a miscellaneous description. I, of course, intended, and the language used could admit of no other interpretation, that all the services represented by the last named amount should be paid out of the ordinary revenue of the province and that the whole amount of $45,000 should be devoted in aid of the payment of the aalaries of the ordinary city and country teachers. So much for what the Patriot editor knows of our educational system. His mistake was simply $10,682.79 and is it any wonder that the finances of the pro- vince have been so badly mavaged by the present government when its leading champion in the press makes such a huge blunder over such a small matter, I would suggest when the editor undertakes to criticize in the future that be inform himself of the subject on hand.

I said yesterday that all the other ser- vices of the Province except the payment of ordinary teachers would require about $169,000, and that this eum of $169,000, and the $45,000 would exhaust’ a'l the revenue of the Province that could for all time be depended on without having to re- sort to avy taxation upon land or incomes, and I endeavoured to show how all there other services could be efticiently dis- cbarged with this $169,000.

Why is it propo-ed to abolisi the land and income taxes ? For two reasons. The taxes can be more economically collected by the school trustees and the valuation for purpose of taxation will be more fair than under any other system, and made without any trouble or expense. It is impossible to say under the present system what is the cost of collecting the taxes. Weknowthat it is made the excuse of keeping a lot of officials about the Provincial buildiag whose cost for last year ammounted to the not too modest sum of $17666,28, but what is paid the deputy collectors all over the rest of the Island the Public Accounts sayeth not. That they are paid their commissions cannot be doubted, and the aggregate of these commissions depend upon it is no small sum. The trustees can col- lect the taxes for school purposes at a very small almost nominal expense and if only $1500, can be saved by the change it is well worth while making it.

The present system of valuation is very unfair. I believe such a plan is to be found nowhere else inthe world. The ouly thing about it to be commended is its cheapness. It has, however, so many drawbacks, and works so much injustice, ‘bat it is no use trying to defend it. Why +hould jand worth $50 or $75 an acre only pay the same tax as land worth $25 an acre? Or why sbould a system be toler- ated that enables so many men to shirk their responsibilitics to the injustice of those who conscientiously and honestly fulfil theirs? A return to the Davies sys- tem of valuation 1s out of the question— @ system not only unjust and unfair but very expensive. [t was made by » hun- dred or two of men, scored off into parties of three, whose ideas of how land should be valued forthe purposes of texaticn were as diverse as the parties were numer- ous. The only just and cconomical way is to leave the valuation to tbe School Trustees, and if desired, an appeal can be given from their decision to the Judge of the County Court.

The government grant for education, which I have estimated at $45,000 a year, might be divided among the schools ac- cording tosome such plan as the follow- iog:—There are outside of Charlottetown and Summerside about 491 schools and departments. By a department I mean a room in aschool over which a teacher presides. In Charlottetown there are 33 departments, including the Model School, and in Summerside 13 departments. In all there would be 537 departments among which the grant would be divided, and this would give to each echool or depart- ment a government grant of $83. A school should not be permitted to have more than one department for the purpose of a government grant, unless the number of pupils atiending or in the district justi- fied it. If echools inthe country paid their teachers $200 a year, the district would be required to make up $117, or with twenty-five ratepayers in a dis— trict the tax would be abont $5 a year for each ratepayer. But although some schools in the country would pay their teacher more than $260 many of the poorer distr’sts could obtain a teacher for leas, and in that way reduce the amount of the tax which each ratepayer would be called upon to contribute. The govern- ment’s grant to Charlottetown for educa- tion would be about $2,739. But of last year’s income tax, Charlottetown common and Royalty paid $3,794. Nearly sl] ot this was paid by Charlottetown and Com- mon and the government conld,it necessary, collect the income tax for Charlottetown. By adding the income tax to the proposed grant there would be $6483, which Char- lottetown would have to help its teachers with. But Charlottetown’ last year received from the government for its schools $7,884, and it would appear by this that under tbe proposed plan Charlottetown would be $1,401 a year worse off than at present. But Charlottetown’s share of the yearly deficit amounts to thrice this eum and depend upon it the people of Charlottetown will be called upen to pay their share of the large provin- cial debt incurred which is year by year becoming larger and larger. There is no part of the Province that should be more interested than Charlottetown in putting @ = once for all to the foolish and fatal policy of building up a large ete debt, because its people well

now that debt to a Province is the same as debt to an individual —a core and griev- ous burden which, unless circumscribed, means speedy destruction to its victim.
