TEACHERS‘ SALARIES

Turning his attention finally to pro. vlncial affairs Dr. MacNeill taxed the leader of the Opposition for giving aid and comfort to the teachers in their proposed strike and scored the Conservatives for taking oﬂ the poll tax and reducing the income tax. He feared this would have an ad- verse eﬁect on our claims for increa- sed subsidy at Ottawa. Like others oi his party he regretted that the revenues being as low as they are, the teachers must continue under- paid.

The speaker went on to commend the road policy oi the Minister of Public Works. giving. as an instance, tho cutting down. broadening and levelling near Hunter River.

Dr. MacNeill asserted that the leader oi the Opposition had said that we could get on just as well with- out a Minister oi Agriculture-w. stale ment which Hon. J. D. Stewart con- tradicted flatly, Ho (Dr. MacNeill) praised Hon. W. M. Lea for his ex- cellent management of his’ depart- ment, and felt that ii was in the best possible hands.

In British Columbia under prohi- bition they sold $2.00 per capita, But under Government Control sales lu- ‘ creased vastly. Dr. MacNelll sup-, ported his statements with a rorrnlu; able array oi statistics. The some‘ was true oi New Brunswick, Ontario‘? and Quebec. i

Ii the increased sale of liquors’ spells disaster to the individual, hc said, how can it bring larosperliy to the state. He went on to give in- stances oi bootlegzlng in New Bruns- wick, and discounted on the disad- vantages f0 government control. l-le told oi a man in Moncton who was found drlmk with a bottle oi gly- cerine and one oi alcc-‘wi. (Loud ap- plause by Liberal members.)

EVENING SESSION . April 11th:‘

Mr. 1-I. A. Darby (3rd Prince) the course oi his address agreed with the Premier that the external audit would be a. waste of money. The Pub- lic Accounts had always been correct,’ Why should they not be so at the present time?

The small deﬁcit was remarkable

in view oi’ the extensive road work. The late Government spent $29,000 just to strike the roads. Mr. Darby went on to praise the work oi the present government, referring cs- pecially to his own district. ‘ Some of the opposition had said the Government had only "punc- tuated the _rouds with gravel." But Mr. Arscnauit who had made that remark would not, he felt, be amus- ed at the next election.

The Conservative party never tried to stabilize or maintain our revenues. But the Davis Government had put on taxes enough to take care oi edu- cation and the roads. The Sullivan

Government later took of! the taxes. while the Bell Government put On the taxes again, and it was under the management oi Mr. Lea that the Falconwood Farm was first really put in good shape. Such was the his- tory. up to the present. All the Con- servative Government did was to 1111 in time and take of! the taxes. They did it to fulfill their election prom- iscs. But why do this w please i1 few party heelers? There's nothing to it.

They complain oi the debt bcinE increased, but you can't inaugurate a new system without borrowing money.

AGRICULTURE

The speaker praised the policy oi introducing pure bred stock. As for the Conservatives, they took a 5WD backwards by demolishing the tech- nical school during their regime. “One of my sons." he said, "took a course at, the Technical School, and it gave him a start in life." He told oi the beans introduced by the iaic Government to be canned. They were taken to the canning factory in his district in truck loads. But there were no cans. and they had to be thrown over the bank at Mount Carmel.

He scored the policy of the Math- ieson Government of seeding the oys- ter beds and leasln them-with the result that disease came in, and the industry was ruined. This Govern- ment had given the fishermen s. re- bate on‘ gasoline which was some- thing.

With regard to the teachers’ strike he thought "there must have been some little Conservative propa- ganda" cggiug them on to do it.

There wasn't a. standard method oi teaching. Sometimes children lose half a year in getting started under a. new teacher. He felt that it would be a. step in advance ii the SChOul Department would distribute the books through the country in auto- mobiles.

PROHIBITION

He felt that government control had proved a disastrous policy for the Conservatives. But to judge from the speeches of the members they were still holding on to the skirts of Gov- ernment Control, though lnst year it

PBOHIBITION OFFENDERS

Mr. Allen said that the informa- tion that there were 2i prohibition offenders in Prince County Jail was incorrect.

Hon. J. D. Stewart: "I g0! it 5117111 the Pioneer." '

Mr. Allen: "Well, the Pioneer might be correct, or again it might not. y

Referring to the teddy o! rum in the sewer oi the Sumlnerside jail. hi‘ said thatwhat really plugged it were the roots cf a nearby irco.

Mr. Allen proceeded to give a 1H5“ tiilcation of the embargo on dogs pill on last summer. and disagreed with‘ a statement oi Judge Arscnrullt Hm! 800 per cent more cars visited tile Is- land in 192a than in 1921T1n 191:1 the car ferry carried 2930 cars and} the Hochelaga 727. and in 1921i the; car ferry caried 3749 and the Hocil-i elaga 950. This did not look as if the embargo had scared away many tourists. “Which is better," said lylv. Allen, "poodle dogs or prosperity?‘ Had the embargo not been pui 0'1. we could have sold llo live forms in‘ Europe.

the roads. The farmers were bus)’ and could not work on them when ghc work was needed. It was there- fore imperative to introduce a new road system with power machines. These enabled a good many hundred miles oi road to be put into good shape. which otherwise would have to be left untouched.

Premier Rhodes in Nova Scotia ex- pected to make a saving oi $159,000 . in the year due to better road ma- I chinery. The speaker then went on to I extol the fertility of the Island in ‘ Agriculture and ﬁsheries and alluded to the condition 0f the dairying. seed potato and fox industries.

This province was endeavoring to keep pace with the other provinces in improving the road system. And. in doing this, we are forced to bring gravel. cement and steel from out- side. Bo it is not possible to con-
