The _Patriot has taken a weelr. to ex
pla.in and embellish the new Liberal Leaderls manifesto. When it has finished its readers are as wise as when It began. The Guardian has al- ready given in a nut-shell the Liberal programme and what it implies. In view of the Patriot’s attempted in- terpretation,bowever,we may throw a little more light on the subject.
The new Liberal Leader opens with -
a note a patriotism and promises- to do all that he can ln aid of his King and country.
With a record of dlsioyal utterance
and conduct behind him unequalled in Canada, how can Mr. Rogers expect his protestatlons to be accepted in good faith? Would one of the military whom he has so often abused and sneered at have any confidence in Mr. Rogers’ leadership?
The Government has pledged its
support to the uttermost limit of men and resources and the people may trust the Mathieson Government to fulfill its pledge to the letter, if need
be.
Already the Government has rallied
more men to the colours in proportion to population than any of the other Maritime Provinces.
Already the Government has con-
tributed ln cashs-
To the widows, orphans
and dependents of -sol- diers .. .. ....$15,000
Aid to Army Field Service.. 4,435
Total .... ......$23,282
This is only the beginning. Other
aid is under consideration with the War Office.
The Government is arranging other
schemes for the protection and de- fence of the Island. and everything is being done in harmony with the Domin ion Government?
Would it bellkely that similar har-
monious relationship exist between Mr. Rogers and the Dominion Govern- ment?
Mr. Rogers promises an equitable
readjustment of taxation. We know what to expect from past experience. The late Liberal Government imposed all the taxation upon lands and read- justedit at a cost of $3.000 to obtain an increase of $8,000!
They refused, however, to make a
readjustment of the taxes on Compan- ies, etc., so that they would pay an' increase commensurate with the ln- crease on the farmers.
lt was Premier Mathieson who put
tho companies on the same footing as farmers in regard to readiustment of taxation., ‘
lt was Premier Mothieson who put
the rich, who can afford to pay taxes, all on the same footing. Under the Grit Government income tax was col- lected from some in full and from the favoured ones only in part or not at all. We have had several instances brought to our notice by our own sub- scribers where they were asked for the first time in twenty years to pay in- come tax when the Mathimon Gov- ernment took office.
In 1911 the income tax co_l- _
lected was - '$8.536-99
ln 1914 the income tax col-
lected was $14,915-27
ln other words there was a 75 per
cent. increase in collections of income tax from people best able to bear be- ing taxed.
Under the Grits fox tax was collect-
ed under the name of income tax at one and a half per cent. from such of our own people as were not favoured by the Government, but from out- siders none was collected. _
The system of one per cent. on all,
introduced by the Mathleson Govern- ment has been honestly levied and lm- partlally collected.
Would the Rogers party. if elected,
change this?

The people of Murray Harbour Dis-
trict know Hon Murdoch McKinnon and Mr. A. P. Prowse sufficiently well to keenly rescent the insidious at- tacks being made upon them by the quartette of political adventurers Mes- srs. Wllson, McVie, Schurman and Bentley.
Mr. McKinnon has been a total ab-
stalner all his life. a temperance man in the Province. We dare any one, or ali, of the political adventurers now camping in Murray Harbour to point to any man who is more highly re- spected and esteemed for his temper- ance plnclples, or who more conscien- tiously advocates and furthers tem- perance in our midst. Mr. Prowse has never tasted, touched or handled in- toxicants In his life.

We give the people of Murray Har- bour credit for putting more faith in- two of their own people who have liv- ed among them aii their lives, whose consistency they have known and ap- preciated all their ilves, than In rev- engeful office-seekers who have been disappointed and dlscomfited. and W\\0 have gone to the length of converting churches and temperance lodges into political hustlngs. to gratify their hateful vengeful lust.

THE INTEHEST TEST
The Patriot tries to escape from the
dilemma of -oomparlngthe amount of interest from year to year as a true in- dication of the amount of the Provin- cial Debt, by claiming that the interest of the Sinking Fund should not be con- sidered in such a calculation. That is a truly childish contention. The Sink- ing Fund is so much money laid by ev- ery year ugainst the debt, which is equivalent to paying so much off. ln- stead of being paid to the bond hold- ers, it is invested and in this case it happens to be invested at the same rate of interest as the bonds boar. Hence anyone can see that were it paid on the bonds they would be re- duced to the extent of such payments and consequently the interest charged would be reduced as well .
Thus it will be seen nt a glance that
to find the net interest we pay annual- ly, we must, to be correct, deduct the interest we receive from the interest we pay.
The Patriot goes further in its folly.
It says that there was $10,126.65 of unpaid interest according' to Mr. Bin- ning's report. This is not correct. Mr. Binning does not say “unpaid inter- est,” he says “accrued interests,” quite a different matter, although not worth considering so far as it \al`l`ec-ts the fairness of the comparison. But if the accrued interest is to be reckoned we niéy observe that Messrs. Ross- borough und Dench found that in the two months and two days following the close of thc hnanciul year, Sept. 30, 1911, thc Liborul Government had to pay $12,613.18 ol' interest on the debt and leave $12,084.89 as accrued and unpaid interest besides.
These figures speak for thomsclvcs.
They show that a large amount of In- Lterest was caried over into the next financial year after the close of the last Liberal year. 1911, which the present Government had to pay.
As a further proof that the interest
charge is going down the estimate for 1015 as calculated by Mr. Newbury, whose estimates are always very re-
1914, which was a. slight underesti- mate. Our statement in Wednesday and Friday was fair and quite correct. The debt is being reduced in the pro- portion stated since 1011 and the in- terest charge Is melting down as well.

The Toronto News, of which Sir
John S. Wlllison is Editor, has this to say about Premier Mathieson:
“The general election in Prince Ed-
ward Island should result in the re- turn of the Mathieson Government to power by an emphatic majority. Dur- ing its three yoars of office it has giv- on the Island much better administra- tion than. was previously enjoyed. The Premier Mr. John A. Matliieson, is a man of character and ability.
“A definite success as Opposition
leader. his capacity for public affairs did not fully develop until hc became First Minister. During. his visit to To- ronto, two or thrco years ago, he lm- pressed himself upon all those who heard himspcnlcund mcthlin person- ally as aniun of parts'and forcc,Gifted as a serious speaker, he has also a. lighter vein which delighted his audi- ence.
“None of his hoiirers will soon for-
get his interesting talks on the oyster fisheries and other Prince Edward Is- land industrlcs.\\'lienever he travels he is an active and effective advertising agent for the attractions of his nntive Province. A staunch Canadian, with an understanding of National nsvwell as Provincial problems, _Mr. Mathie- son ls a worthy representative of his part of thc Dominion and may easily, if he chooses, have n career in the Federal arena. Though the poll is to he taken on September 16th, the Lib- erals arc reported by the Island press as unable to settle upon a leader."

THE HEIGHT UT METHHESS
Probably never in the history of the
political life of any country has there been such contemptible meanness ex- liiblted as that .shown by a certain section of Grits in the First District of Prince. The Hon. Charles Dalton, the Government candidate. has not only represented the district satisfactory and well, but as a. member of the Gov- ernment has devoted much valuable time and attention to the furtherance ol' the public health of the Province. ln this connection Mr. Dalton has pre- sented a Sanitariuni to his native Pro-
vince which has already cost him
$46,000, and probably will entail anoth- er $4,000, or $5,000 before completion. lt is expected that this magnificent gift will be ready for formal opening and handing over the the people of this province for all time within the next six weeks or two months. Never has such generosity been experienced by the -ppople of this Province; never sympathy more adequately expressed for the suffering in our midst than by this plillanthroplc and beneflcent gift.
Yet in the public services of this
generous donor which a few mean, <-ontemptible Grits challenge in the First District of Prince. And who is the standard-bearer of these small- niinded, ungrateful Grits?
Mi'. Benjamin Rogers, a man who
has taken more from the public trea- sury in the way of salary than any other man living in the Province.
Mr. Benjamin Rogers, a man who
stepped from Government House into theactive arena of party politics.
Mr. Benjamin Rogers, who has so
long public career has nothing to his credit, except what he has attained through the gubernatorial office.
Mr. Benjamin Rogers, who has so
llttlc regard for the fitness of things, that after attaining the highest pub- llc office his King and Country can confer upon him, steps directly down from that high and dignified office, to fight on the bustings for some other petty office, and to oppose a man who has given as much to his country as he (Mr. Rogers) has taken from it.
The action of Mr. Rogers does not
meet with the aproval of right-tlilnk- ing Liberals. If the Liberals of the First District had really desired to contest Mr. Dalton’s seat, and this is generally denied, the opportunity was not for one who has already sucked the fruits of office dry-and still greed- ily thirsts for more.
FAIR PLAY.
WHAT THE EHITS THE
llilllili Til Ili]
ln the official programme of the Grit
Party there is very little to which ex- ception might be taken; virtually so far as it goes It is the Conservative platform of 1908.
But the unofficial programme as out-
lined by such leading lights as the de- posed Grit lcader Mr. l"nlmer, the ris- ing Grit leader, Mr. Peter Brodie, and other Grit orators ls quite revolution- ary.
Some of the planks are as follows.
_ Disband and dismiss all Agricultural instructors.
.
Dlsmiss Professor J. A. Clark. lu
“Abolish the Experimental Station.
Dlsmiss Professor Ross.
Abolish Farmers’ Institutes and Wo-
nien's Institutes. -
Dlsrniss Professor Benson. "
Abolish Egg Circles.
We wonder how the farmers of
Prince Edward Island like the pros- pect.
Of course it may be argued by the
opportunist Patriot that neither Mr. Palmer nor Mr. Brodie nor any other Grit orator is authorized to promul- gate an unofficial programme.
lliit they are the men who are put
up to represent the Grits. and have as much authority and weight as Mr. Nash or Mr. J. J. Hughes.
THINGS IEEUMPIISHEU
The Grits have no record of things
accomplished for the benefit of the Province. Their record is one of dis- astrous finance, dilapidatlon of public works and depopulation of the island. ln all the twenty years' regime there is nothing that can be pointed to as a crcillt to their administrative ability -unless it be the Hillsborough Bridge, and for flint the Province is burdened with o rental of $10,000 per annum for all time to come.
In the three and a half years the
Mathicson Government has been in power It has accomplished marvels in converting a siough of dcspond into a land flowing with milk and honey.
Just lake u. slight glance at some of
tht things the Mathleson Government has accomplished in its thrco years of office.
An iaddltlonal $100,000 subsidy.
$26,000 agricultural subsidy. Oyster areal made provincial pro-
perty, which wlll ultimately represent another $100,000 per annum.
Roads improved beyond description. Vote by ballot introduced. Short course and Long Course In
Agriculture Introduced.
Short Course for teachers Introduc-
od.
Construction of oanltarlum for tub-
erculosis patients.
Provision of hospital accommoda-
tion for Insane, poor and tuberculosis patients.
Construction of permanent public
works five times In much no In the previous twenty yearn.
Increased pay for teachers. Norman training for teacherl In
Prince of Wales College.
New telegraph and telephone cables
with mainland.
Reductions In telegraph rates and
_Improved telegraphlc and telephonic facilities.
Oyster mud for farmers. Reduction In public debt.
Reduction In interest on debt. Average annual surplus of $30,000. 'This is not a complete list by any
means. but it suffices to show that the Mnthicson Government has been
doing things while the Grits have merely been talking and sitting idly by. _
