PATRIOT‘! RED HERRING

The following well illustrates the Patriot's style of argument and its tricky evasion o2 the points at lww- We quote from its editorial in Thursday's issue:

“The Guardian in its efforts to] ttehsure ihe government complains‘

that Charlottetown did not pay fig proportion oi the poll tax and on: that account asks our citizens to_

vote against Messrs, and others .who find it

the ever increasing civic taxes will; have a different opinion." ' y The Patriot's supply of the pro-l vcnbial rcd herring is evidently, worn out when it has to descend to‘ such a misrepresentation as this. The poll tax question is a very sore one in Charlottetown, we lad» ma, the of! Messrs. Higgs and Duffy to reducei it not yet fulfilled, perhaps the; squirming and explaining of the‘ Patriot as well as of Messrs Higgs and Duffy is not to be wondered at.‘ For many weeks we have asked the Patriot to "explain why 311 persons! in Charlottetown paid their poll taxi in l922_while 13-15 were allowed to! go free.
