the '

taxation of income, why don't you offer sensible, constructive critt- ism? Then we have the Supreme Court Judges, who are drawing $9,000 or $10,000 a year. I might say further that all those federal officials whom we have naziicd. af- ter getting a 10 per ccnt cut. are drawing very much larger salaries than are the officials of this Gov- ernment no matter where they are situated within this Province. We have men in the Murine depart- ment; we have men on active ser- vice and on the retired list in the Post Office dcpartment-Jederal of- ficials all over this Province who are drawing much larger salaries, and my hon. friend has not at- tempted to touch them. But he ls

prepared to place on the men and»

women who have worked under him the responsibility of paying the sinking fund and interest on the obligctPns which he himself contracted during his fcui- years of power.

Mr. LcPares Expenses

“There is anothcritem that might be mentioned in regard to ex- pense account. If I am a little per- sonal in this, you will pardon me because I am not in tlic habit of making personal remarks on the floor of the House, and would not do so but for ccrtafn statements made by the hon member from Rustico (MrsLcPagc). He criticised very severe!) the fact that the Minister of Agriculture has an item in the estimates of $460 for trav-

elling expenses. He said it was un- .

necessary for the Minister, in driv- ing through the country, to re- main away over night. The sug- gestion was that the Minister

The fact that those girls have steady em- ployment in the schools is of great assistance b0 many of our farmers who are in straightened circum-

stances. But my hon. friends in Opposition propcsc to dip in- to those girls’ pockets. to take

5 p01‘: cent of their cam-lags in order to bridge this gap that was made between rev-rue and expen- diture by their 02m cxtrawflmve during their four years in ."ce. (Applauscl.

Class Legislation

“My hon. friend from Rustico had much to say about the "wmmon ‘people? and'I suggest, when the- common people have knowledge of what the Opposition has tried to do in this House, when they realize that the Opposition has tried to saddle this extra taxation on a limited few, they will do their own thinking and they will not be sat- isfied with this "class legislation," for that is just what it amounts to.

"If my lion. friend was going to make his proposed reductions to scale. why didn't he suggest tax- ing the people who can pay in this Province? Their obligations i4; the Province arc Just tlic same as are the school teachers and tlic Prince of Wales College professors who had to go on strike four years ago in order to get a living wage. But he has not touched this list at all, I will go ovcr a fcw of them:

We have in tlic employ of the Canadian National Railways in this Province 23 taxable officials who drew in 1932 the magnificent

Wm 0f $50,074.00. or an average of $2,177.00. We do not hcar anything about taxing ihcm.

However, I recall that when our friends in Oiibcsition were in power the member from Rustfoo, who has occupied various positions in the Government from act'ng Premier to representative of the Agricultur- a1 department at the Canadian

National Exhibition, made a num- i

ber of trips in the interests o: his government. I find that during the year 1929 he represented the de- daptment of Agriculture at tlic Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto, where the department put up a booth. I have a very nice view of it here in the Agricultural re- port for 1929. The lvfaritime booth is marked on one side. and furth- cr down the aisle is the Prince Ed-

ward Island booth. Out in front,‘

in a very conspicuous position, is a New Brunswick moose head. We were told that he exhibited New Brunswick potatoes at that time because Prince Edward Island pot- atoes were not ripe. We also find that we had a Maritime Trade Commission at Toronto at the some time, and that this Government contributed quite a large amount toward the putting on of that ex-

Then I find that Mr- B_ W- Lefage, who rzprcsented this Gov-l crnment at that time in Toronto,’ drow as travelling expenses the magnificent sum 0f 8406-73- That is within $40.25 of the total amount of the appropriation for one year for travelling expenses of the Mui- ister of Agriculture-the item which he says is mo extravagant an ex- penditure for this Legislature to: vote. i

"They have told us that we must cu.tai1 and make re- venue end expenditure meet. You have all heard the old saying,i "Consistency, thou art a jewel", And I am afraid that the member from Rustico is not consistent when i he argues that the present Minister. of Agriculture should be carrying on in this Province without any travelling expenses when he him-. self. acting for the Agricultural department in the same position, was not at. all carrying out the policy he now advocate"? (Ap- plause).

Opposition Argument Hon. Mr. Sharp's statement was

made when the House was in com- mittee Thursday evening on the Estimate for Legislation ($16,950) |

and after Mr. McIntyre had moved that the 10 per cent reduction. asked for in the Opposition motion to reduce salaries of government employees earning between $1,000 and $2,000. be made also in mem- bers’ sessional indemnities.

Mr. bee. in reply, said he was “delightlxf” to get some sort of reply from the Government as to their inability to make revenue and expenditure meet. He complained. however, that Mr. Sharp had made a. "political plea." The Opposition had no authority to impose taxes: that was for the Government to do. The Liberals. he declared, were the first to tax the Judges. Their record was gocd in that respect.

The Opposition leader repeated his argument about the cost of liv- ing having declined; which hicant thatsalarfes were higher in pro- portion to the price of oormodities than they were in normal years. He charged that the Government “'11s “mortgagng the farmers" by not scaling down their expenditur- es in the Estimates.

Mr. Lea: "You are doing noth-

ing of the kind."

Mr. Lea: "We funded an over- draft of nearly $300000 o.’ yours. Are we to be saddled with yours? The reason we had to spend the mllllcn dollars we had was because you ncehclcd attending to the pub- lic services when you were in."

Mr. Lea. maintained that his sal-

Mr. Lea said his proposition was i not objected to by a good mgny civil servants.

" explained the functions of a Central

Bank to show how inapplicable those functions were to conditions‘ in Canada. Mr. Dodds also referred to the disillusionment which had come to the United States, where the establishment of the Federal Reservesystem was hailed as mark- ing the dawn of a new era in which bank failure would cease, credit would always be adequate and price levels would never fail. "Notwith- standing all such optimistic predic- tions," he remarked, "the world dc- pression inflicted probably more havoc in the United States than in any other country in the world.

that when the Conservatives came

[into oiflce in August, 1931, they

were confronted with a bank over- draft of al.0004088, plus interest-

‘Liberal Neglect

Before the end of the year, how- ever, there was something else which we had to do. You will re-

‘member that in 1921 the late Bell 5

Government issued debentures for highway projects. The people at that time were told that those de- bentures would ncver cost farmers of the country one cent, that the gasoline and motor vehicle taxes would provide the interest and sinking fund. On Dec_ l, I931, however, its vzcrc faced with Bell Government bonds due of $77,- 518.15, and no sinking fund to pro- vide for it. We had to go to the Bank and borrow the money to take up those bonds. That is a. sample of the financing of the hon. gentlemen who now complain that this Government is "extravagant" and unbuslncssllke in its methods of financing, (Loud applause).

Hon. Mr. MacLcan said he wish- ed to refer to another item men- tioncd by Mr. McIntyre, namely short term loans, which were on the books at August 29, 1931. Be- tween August 29 and Dec. 3i of that ycar this Government had to pay on these loans $76,120.14, making a total of $1,306,323.60 of obligations which this administration had to finance on coming into power.

Mr. Lea: “Did that add to the indebtedness?"

Hon. Mr, MacLean: "ft is money lhlt We had to provide for.”

Continuing, Mr. MacLcan in- stanced the necessity facing the Government of providing for

Prince of Wales College and Fal-

ihl‘ first year he only got $130. This Province was contributing to the Maritime exhibit on a pro- portiouatc basis and the expense account of the other Maritime re- bresentatives was very much high- er. Next year he got a more equit- able proportion of what this Prov- ince was contributing in any case, "d he Ulolllht he had a. perfect Yizht to take it.

The insurance on these buildings was $257,000, at seven per cent filter-est, totalling about, 3:55pm Quarters for Falconwood patients were provided and salvage work was carried on at n. cost of $92,921. On Prince of Wales College in 1932 the sum of $350,205 was expended, making a. total expenditure on these institutions last year of $343,. 137, which meant an expenditure of $78,076.48 over and above the insurance received.

Mr. Lea objected that Mr. Mac- ,Lean was making a. budget speech. Hon. ‘Mr. MacPhee pointed out that Opposition members had spoken at length during the dis- cussion in committee, delivering

Boston Police Meet Wi t h Opposition When Endeavour- ing To Break Up A G o m in u n i s t G a t h e r i n g.

BOSTON. March 31. - (A.P.) —-

1 Three women and eight men, said

by police to be Communists, were arrested late today at the City Wel- fare Department headquarters. Po- lice reported two officers were as- saulted.

A large crowd of men and women had assembled at the Welfare De- partment Headquarters in Hawkins Street in the west end when, po- lice said. the alleged communists at- tempted to address the throng.

Police ordered the speakers to de- sist and failing to obtain a res- ponse, thrce mounted officers assis- ted by othcrs on foot, tried to clear the street. f“ “ followed in which an officer was struck by a woman. Attempts to arrest the latter re- sulted in more fights and soon gen- eral dlsorder reigned during which the arrests were made.

The officers reported assaulted were Patrolman George Smith and

Sergeant Edward Felley.

i

Since 1921, allowing for banks re- opened. the net suspensions in the United States were 9.366 banks, in- volving total deposits of $4,271,000,- 000. and during the present month you have seen the whole banking system, including the Federal Re- serve, suspend operations tempor- arily. In Canada, there has not been a single bank failure since 1923 -in other words, not one depositor has lost a single dollar."

He discounted the suggestion that in Canada a Central Bank would improve conditions by affording the banks greater and more elastic re- a discount facilities than are now available under the Finance Act, quoting conditions both in England and in the United States to show’ that‘ a greater degree of elasticity is.‘ provided in Canada under our Fin- ance Act than by the most modern central bank. |

“Moreover-P he remarked. "it should be realized that in Canadfl. under our system which has evolved over the course of one hundred years to meet the peculiar needs of this country, each bank is, in this

‘respect, almost a central bank in

itself, the» head office acting for all its branches much as a Federal He- serve Bank functions along these lines for its many individual mem-l ber banks. The need for facilities for rediscounting commercial paper ‘ is negligible in Canada and for this ' reason the Banks do not avail them- selves to any extent of the right to pledge commercial paper under the Finance Act, preferring to use high grade government securities as col-i lateral."

No Advantage Pointing out that in Canada there

was no money market and that rates of interest on loans and deposits

, were comparatively stable, he denied

that a Central Bank could be of M-

vantage here through the control of

the rediscount rate. | The London and New York money

markets. he said, were the greatest in the world, attracting tiemendo | sums, and the rediscount rate was used chiefly in controlling the flow of funds in and out of the country. I‘ Such funds could not be attracted to a debtor country in competition with the great money centres men- tioned, hence there being no money

-' market in Canada.

When asked if complete control of the currency issue of Canada by a Central Bank would be of any ad- vantage. he replied:

"The whole purpose of central control of currency is to charge it with the responsibility of furnishing sufficient currency to meet the com- mercial and other demands of the country. In Canada we have what is perhaps the most elastic system of currency circulation in the world. It is a combined system of Domin- ion and Bank Notes.

Advantage Of System

“The advantage of this system is that all of the 3.600 branch banks in Canada may at all times have on hand an adequate supolv of notes to meet commercial ‘and other de- mands. The notes of a bank are, of course, not a liability while in its own possession. any more than would be the note of an individual in his own hands. If the banks required to purchase notes from a Central Bank to provide the 3,800 branches with adequate supplies. it would be at a heavy cost in interest, and many small branches, which are now being operated at or near a loss. would have to be discontinued."

Discussin, the uestion as to whether or not a central bank would be able to control credit and so reg- ulate price levels, he remarked:

"Al1 that_need be said in reply ls that in spite of strenuous efforts on the part of the Federal Reserve System, and the bringing into be- ing of various Finance Corporations,

demand for credit in the United States has continually shrunk, and
