Mr. C. l". Bentley, Charlottetown:

i ti: uhorttlme- allowed to me I sha V my remarks entirehr to the 13th plank in the Conservative platform which reads

{in iaas established our

on the basis on the minority re- port oi the White Commission." There may be some people who even 1n this enlightened age will .. ’ how a one hundred and fifty thousand dollar annual sub- sidy is worth three million dol- lars- e answer is very simple. l’! one o you were given ono $10 bill and no more that gift is obviously worth l0 dollars. But if someone were to give ono of you an snnu income of ten dollars, that gift certainly ought to be worth con- ly more. Assuming a mas- onablo interest rate to be 5 per cent, that gift would be capitalised at $200. For it would take invested at o per cent t0 pro uce an annual income of e10. Apply this same principle to e hundred and fifty thousand dollar increase of annual subsidy and you will seo that at 5 per cent it will take three million dollars to pro- duce an annual income of one hundred and fifty thousand dol- s

But Premier Campbell thinks these subsidies should be capitaliz- ed at 3 per cent instead of 5 per cent. See age ii of the case he submitted o the Howell Commis- sion in 1938. So that according to Premier Campbell's method oi calculation the 12th plank of the Conservative platform ought to

read thus:

Having in 1985 established our claims against the Dominion Gov- ernment to the extent oi five mil- lion dollars-instead of the modest three million which the Conser- vative platform c .

‘This plank in our platform re- fers only to one increase in sub- sidy obtained by a Conservative Government. But this was not the only increase obtained by Con- servative governments. Two prev- ious ones of $100,000 anq $125,000 were obtained by the Mathis-son and Stewart. MaoMillm Govern- ments respectively. A few days ago Premier Camp- bell drew attention to the number of lawyers which the Conservative Darty had But out as candidates. I should li e to mention Just two oi these lawyers, one D. L. Math. ieson is the son oi the Hon. J. A. Mathieson, through whose untiring forts this Province received its first substantial increase oi sub- sidy in 1912. namely $100,000.- The other Mr. H. F. McPhee whose brief before the White Commission in 1934 was rewarded in i935 by a further increase of #150,000. Mr. Campbell also remarked that not one of these lawyers was running in the constituency in which he resides. Premier Campbell, who resides in Summerside, part o! the time. Premier Campbell who re- sides in Charlottetown part oi his tllnf, Premier Campbell of Bteriley Haj, where another poi-t or m; time he resides next door to the Campbell National Park.

And now let us so back a bit 1o see what the Liberal Governments have done for this province in the matter of increase oi annual sub- sidy. There have been ‘several Liberal governments in pqwef slnce 1012. What did they do about it? I should be unjust if I were

However offer deciphering Confugin‘ ‘ tables I unearthed from page: 27 and 28 of the Report that they had paved for this enormous sum of money flie fotol of 45 and six- tentlis miles of road, thus making on average cost par mile of $12,875.65. Adding to this amount the 10% which everyone seems to know was hold buck from the contractors, and leaving the belonce of fha 10% (a vary smell amount) for uopold bills, we ho" the so coiled "low cost" top of the Liberal Highway costing $12,- 875,65 x $1,287.56 or $14,163.21 per mile.

So much for the lop of the Highway. Wliot about tlis bol- iom? The Liberals claim they built 0 good one, but they must be ashamed of it or else they dove not tall the electors what it cost. So cleverley is the cost concealed that I om doubtful if the reol cost willever be known. In examining their accounts and reports over o period of three years, this is wliof I found.
