SPB5k"» U19 imitation of another man’s policy or a party policy is perhaps the most sincere forni of flattery wc have in this coun- try. lthink that not more than two weeks ago I had occasion in *his House to say that our finali- ces were in such shape and I felt that I had the greatest confl- dence that after the recommen-

< dations were made by the Dun-

can Commission that we would no doubt receive a substantial ~4.ncrea.se in subsidy. In that llcpe and expectation I think it has been more than realized and we now have the promise of increase

91 Illbsldy of $125,000.

"My friend now says "We will

~ redum the taxes." Yes. ns I < say: lnlitstionl No initiative! F‘ol- - low the beaten paths of the Lib- ' eral party. It has always been ~ the case and I presume it al- owhys will be. We announced , that we would reduce the auto 1 tax and make a downward re- l duction in taxatlim generally. So ‘ my friend had our policy; and, g as I sly. he wasn't able to ill- I 'itiate anything new himself alld

he makes the same announce- ment now as I made the other day. We are very glad to know that he has come across now. It looks that it is worth while uf- tertll for us to point the way in

| which things shall be done. I am ,~ sure the people of the Province ;. will be glad to know that we, the 5*, Opposition, while small in nuln- ‘ , bers. have at least secured that

1 favorable result."

They secured the result, Mr. Speak-

er. ,nd now they are complulningt and finding fault because they dill secure it. (Laughter and applause.)

'That is the situation. My llorl.{ f:iend from Montague applauds they failure 0! his own party. I wonderf whyl » -

Hon. Dr. Grant: I was applaudingf

that speech you were reading. t HOD. Eh Stewart: Yes, because iff

Trom rcal estate, personal property and income, amounted to $l44,i8’1.` I find that last year they collected ull- dcr those same headings, real estate, personal property and income, neir- ly $122,000; so that the loss was only u little over szo,ouo by tbesroduotlon which we made. But that is not the whole story. They collected other taxes last year which we never col- lectcd-l~.orse tax, road tax and dp; lax--and they put into the treasury from that source practically $28,000. ln other words, they lost some 832;- 000 and took in some $28,000 in ex- ira taxes. That is the reason, they say, why they could not increase the teachers’ salaries. They did not lo'ss -anything by those reductions, and the slightest examination shows that their explanation is a, ridiculous one.

I do not think there is any neces-

sity for me to labor that matter any further. We have clearly shown thhl these are simply childish excuses. They have been caught in their own trap, and they still have pre-election promises to carry out li' they ever get that increase in subsidy fox which the people of this Province have been waiting. ' ‘ ' '

There is another matter *with wnlen I would like to deal briefly; that is the matter of Publicjleelth, and I want to concur 'in what has been said by my hon. colleague froth Charlottetown (Dr. MacMillan). I wish to congratulatethe Government on tllLs step they have tskch 0_0' wards the establishment or s. cana- torium for this Province. I tio not think that any polltleiu differences we may have will prevent us flfoni seeing eye to eye in this matter- There is perhaps nothing' more im- portant than tha health of our own people, and anything that can' 'M done to improve conditions in thi! respect should be entirely agreeable to every one. I would alsotlike 1110 say ll word by way of congratiliatfon to those public spirited citlliexii side ol this House who have eatin'-'r

ored to help this matter-`al6ng, both

ion: switch about from one policy to mother, as the wind shifts. That suitsl him, and he applauds it. (Applause > I Hola. Dr. Grant It's the best Dari

of your speech.

Ron. Hr. Stewart: We will ict thi?

people judge of that. That was the situation when the Conse_l-vative Gov- ernment w in power in 1927. Mv,

’ There is an indication in mcse ng- | res that thc proportion of liquor

" 'urlk has diminished during 1928. but you will remember, Mr. Speaker, litllat one of the planks of their plat- form was it reduction in the selling

price of liquor. What rliflcrcncc will that make? $130,000 worth of-llq. ucr this year should mean g mul-ll larger quantity sold than the same amount in dollars and cents under the previous Government; because we charged more for the liquor. Whm you lake that into considera- ¢|°n» MT- SPCIIKCP. how much have they reduced the sale of liquor through the vendom? (Applause.>

I Dub thiS question to an hon. mein.

1 nad to tore lt from what 1 mlgnt ` call the quasi-Govemment organ,

a recent issue of the organ of the`

not responsible for the mistake. There was notliihz wrong in my statement; I have no rxponslbiilty for the Lib- ¢1'°l Dress, and surely I have I. right io quote it in this House. That is the situation, yet my hon, friend opened up the vials of his wrath wainst my hon. colleague from Charlottetown the other night be- cause he suggested that there was S0910 lrfwularity in connection with the jails. My l1on.'friend said that was “small politicsz" that the hon. member was “wasting the time of the House" with such statements, It is all rishh apparently, for a member to spendtwenty minutes or half an hour detailing imagined ills and his ill treatment at the hands 'of the Op- D0-Sltion party, but when another member refers to the conditions in the jails of this Province it is “small Politics." Apparently the Liberal pleas from which I have quoted did not consider if, in that way.

My hcn. friend made a great ado

about prisoners being released from jail under the Conservative Govem- ment. ,Perhaps they are not doing that; llut th¢Y are taking them out of Jill 00 Ko and see prize lights and amuszments of all kinds, and they are having afternoon calling days for the benefit of the prisoners in JH". and they have the fact placard- 'fd in my 11011. i`rlcnd‘s own town so that all and sundry may know lg

(Applause).

Where Did The Money Go? _

Nolv we are 801118 1_0 have a plebis-

undit of Prohibition Commission rc- °¢|l"-IT Why has he been persuaded to leave that matter entirely out of the public records? The reason hlu not been given yet. I presume that some of the hon. gentlemen, who, perhaps know'more about this than

tell us. I am sure we would be in- lterested to know.

Conclusion

I do not know that there is ally-

thlhB more that I have to deal with. Perhaps I have occupied more time of the House than necessary, but I felt that these were matters upon which a reply was needed. I am sorry I cannot offer my collgratulutions to the Government cn its record. In the face of all the statements they made when in Opposition; in the face of the criticisms which they offered with regard to the finances under the flrevicus Government, they spoilt lam.

$100,000 more than we did in the lost full year we were ln power. just two years before. There has not, been any increased legitimate expenditure t0 Jllsilfy such a thing. And the gross 03|-ires are much higher than that, for we find that they fspcnt, in ev- ¢l'y WHY. 0\'ei' $300,000 more than we old. -_

not think his personal statement would be accepted with very much authority on the matter. However. the question is not whether there is greater activity in the enforcement of the law. That is not the l>°lhf~ The promise which was given, l»h¢ statements which were made by these hon. gentlemen during the election campaign, was that they would prac- tically wipe out the liquor- traffic ln this Province; that before the tW0 years had elapsed when the pleblsclte would take place there would be evi- dence of dryer conditions, that the sale and use of liquor would be cut

down fo a minimum. I spblnit to this House that there ls not any evidence of that at ali, We see the same evidence of drunkenness on our streets and elsewhere that we always did. W see it ln many places that we should not ace it. Those who wish to obtain liquor will tell you _whether or not they ,cannot get it aa readily

It is quite true that we have more ofdclals; it is quite true that they are spending a great deal more money on enforce- ment; but what benefit .ill that 00 tha Province if they are not getting results? (Applause)

Sale of Liquor

It is quite possible that my hon.

friends may he having more prosecu- tions-sithough not so many more, ss the records show;but are they drying up the sources of thta traffic? Are they stopping the flow of liquor in the Province. I referred before to the amount of money received by the Government vendors from the

ccr, published undcr the same man- agement. I have here an extract taken from the Island Farther of Mui-on liqtn lest, me day uitertlns House`o}'9'ened, and the very day I made that statement on the floor of this House:

"At, the beginning of this week

they were twenty-one prisoners in the Prince County Jail and many of us are yet at large who should. possibly, be there to pill. a further strain upon the resour- ces and capacity of the institu-

tion."

I do not know whether they cleul

in liquor at the Pioneer office or nor.. My hon. friend ought to know; he can see it from his front door. (Laughter)

"One reason given for the t

over-crowding at present ls. we , understand due to a new money l makhig scheme that.is the lat- R est, development, in the many wiles of the bootlegglng frater-

nlty." So my hon. friend will see that

according to the editor of' the Piorl eel' there is still bootlegging, and lt is developing. apparently, because they are inventing new methods right under the eyes of this host of pro- 'secutors who were going to revolu- tlonize conditions with regard to pro- hibition in this province.

"In the past, when a mall WHS nned $200 or so, or so many weeks in jail, the fine was Paid by or for the man convicted. Now, it is said, the practice is that instead of the man higher up in thc game paying the fine, pro bono publlco. the convicted man goes to Jail and receives the $200 oi so, pills his free board and lodg- ing in the interval. at the time

of his discharge." (Laughter) That is had enough; but I direct the attention of my friend the editor of the Patriot to what follows:

"Thus the felon can now take an extended holiday with all found. and still draw wages at a higher rate than most of us. in the newspaper game at any rate, can make with our noses contin- ually to the |'rlndstone." (Laugh- ter.) "Jail, where is thy sting; or virture, thy reward?" (Increa-

sed laughter.) '
