AVRE THEY PIQI'.~\L TO TILE 'l'.\S,K?

The question agitating} the public mind in this province today, agitating it

the calling of indignation meetings, is “Is the present

government worthy of being entrusted with the con- »

siderable financial undertakings which, whether necessary or not, are now known to be in contem- plation? Doubt as to their fitness for the task be- fore them originated in the right about manoeuvre executed by them immediately after assuming office.

Every measure they have advanced during the present session they denounced with all the vehe- inence they’ could command before the election. When acceptance of the Highways federal grant was proposed by the late government all the Liberal members in the House opposed it during the election

‘campaign every Liberal candidate raised his voice‘ against it L-ir‘. an “infernal scheme‘ to extort taxes‘

from the farmers.

The increased taxation for educational purposes proposed b_\’ the Arsenault government the then Liberal opposition and the Liberal candidates for election declared to be unnecessary, extravagant and unjustifiable because, they claimed, the revenue was ample for all requirements, including a substantial advance to teachers. They promised that, if elected, they would not only carry on the affairs of the coun- try without taxation but would do so without the War and Health Tax.

'l‘hey voted, during‘ the passing of the estimates at the last session, for a reduction ofsalaries in gov- ernment tiiﬁces and for the abolition of several offices which they designated as “useless.”

On the strength of those representationsand

promises they were elected and no sooner were they

ensconsed in the ‘fseats of the mighty" than they turned their backs upon every promise they had made and took to their bosoms every policy they had for- merlydenotinced. .

This in itself was sufficient to arouse the dis- trust with which the country is seething today, but there was more than this. To justify their change of front they resorted to tactics which would have been culpable even in a school-boys’ mock parliament. Through their organ, the Patriot, they launched a

series of scare headed warnings of the impending‘

taxation and the reasons for it. ~

A statement_ signed by the Provincial Auditor and magnified by the Patriot, was made to do duty as a “financial statement" at the beginning of the regime. When it was shown that the “statemenf” simply sbtiweil the expenditures of the Arsenault government foi‘ supplies for the year and which the Bell government would have been obliged to pur- chase. had they not been supplied before hand, this camouflage “financial statement” fell flat.-

The conimmission toinvestigate conditions at lialconwood and “discoveries” made in February, although launched in the Patriot's biggest type, also proved a boomerang‘ and proof that the first thing the government did for Falconwood on assuming office was to do nothing and continue doing it throughout the winter.

This camouflage propaganda, the denial and sub- sequent admission of Mr, Landrigans discharge from the School Supply. and other evidences of smallness and untrustworthiness, have convinced. the people that a party so erratic and so tricky is not to be trust- ed with the serious financing that is foreshadowed in the Wéll'lllll_£‘,‘S given.

ll/ieiubers of the government are themselves, we are informed, at sixes and sevens on the proposed taxation, many’ of them realizing that the work of the government so far has been the digging of their political grave. It is quite probable that a loud Halt will be heard from the country districts before the game proceeds much farther. '

PROSPIZFT‘ .\.\'D IKI'I'I‘IH)SI'I'I("I‘.

Looking backward we find we have passed through a winter that has made a record for cold and storms. This is not true of this province alone; it was a record throughout the world, a record for zero “leather and destructive storms.

l/Veztihei‘ predictions are proverbially’ uncertain. but reputable farmers have from many years observa- tion claimed that cold, stormy winters with abuu dance of snow and rainfall are invariably followed by dry summers.

Whether this rule holds for the coming summer or not no one can predict but, although weather signs may tail, there are certain well known principles governing cultivation in all kinds of weather and, whateverthe signs may forebode, the wise farmer will be iriiided by these principles.

One of these is toigct the seed into the land as early as possible, that is, as early as the soil is suﬁici- ently dry foinit; Fhe moisture absorbed by the soil from the snow and rains of the winter and spring will be sufficient to give the grain a good start be- fore there can be any prolonged drought to check it. With a good covering of grain growth to protect the rootlets and the soil, the moisture Will be conserved

. for the use of the plants.

Another [irineiple which should not be lost sight of is that frequent cultivation, that is harrowing, helps to conserve moisture. Harrowing frequently during dry weather before the grain comes up will be found a great help in the conservation of moisture.

Early‘ seeding, that is, at the earliest date in which the soil is fit is, generally speaking a safe one to follow in any kind of a season; frequent cultivation during ili'.\' seasons is also a safe rule to follow.

China's Great Effort

After years oi‘ patient and devol- ed effort, during which the society rallied to itself the most enllght-i ened aid, not only in China but t’ui"_> beyond lier borders. an agreement, was reached between Great Britain. and China wherobl’ l: gradual re-i duction was to be brought about: of the amount of opium imported!’ into China from India, on the baa-j is of a corresponding reduction ofl the manufacture of opium in Chino} being effected. The next great step‘ was the Hague Conference of 1912.1 and the next, the promulgutioiii throughout China of a most drastic anti-opium law. The importation! from India pi-acllciilly caiiio to uni end in 1913, and when, in that» year, the Chinese Government lookl over the izreat stocks of opium at Shanghai. llie trade in the drug was priicilciilly brought to a‘ close‘
