Speech By Premier ii; . Draft flllfllSS Debate!‘

Following is a continuation of the report of the speech by Pre- mier J. Walter Jones in the Legis- lature on Friday, in the debate on the Draft Address: I . The Premier took issue ivii-h the teadt-l" cf lhc Opposition for ci-lti-i rising the present Board of Educa-l lion setup. The old B01111 did not function very much; it consisted oil

member; of the Government. to- ethier with the Superintendent of ducatiori and the Principal of Prince of Wales College. It ivas rarely they ever met and lt would, he argued, be a backward step to reconstitute that board.

Ho iilso took issue with the Op-

position leader on the question of .

rvslnrillg liatln tu the curriculum iii the uric-room schools. “In Great Elrihiiii tlic_v would never think 0t having Latin taught. in Olll-FOLIII‘ whoois. it WvJllld tiove to be taught. after hours.

Composite High Schools

The Premier raters-ind. to the number at delegations applying for composite high schools. 1n their communities. He did not think they properly understood what composite high schools meant. ‘fhcy pmbably want regional schools. Ounpoako solzools are intended to in a networks‘ o! subjects of s. henna. ‘me schools u! designed to function in u. centre of fifteen or twenty schools. they would be Jhined into one will.

“We need to get assessments of the 1mm! to permit of taxation in that one unit which would be equal. and we propose during the next year to set up the assessment body and get busy. There is tre- mentions interest lll getting titer-- “h9g1; and w; propose l0 canvas the thing thoroughly and have it‘ iiii 1n gqhgpe. We hope to have til-is scheme established lry the simmer} nf tan."

Health Tax

Referring tn the health lax. the Premier said it. was never antici- pated that this tax would brhlg tn half as much revonuc as ll is doing tortiij-t. it l5 now iuiming over szvitlotto p, year. He raid it had been put. through somte years ago by H committee headed by the Lender of the Opposition.

Dr. Macmillan: "Whm was thl snmmlttee almolnted?" :

Premier Jones: "l think it was appointed by arrangement between Prrmier Campbell and yourself."

Dr. hfacltfillan; "Does the reoorcll show that?"

Premier Jones: "l don't know."

Dr. ltfaoMillan: "You had better’ talk about sometihiitg you are sure of. 1 was not the chair-mail."

Premier Jones: “Were NW 11°‘ the magi who made that report?"

Dr. MacMfllul: "Don't you lcnow?"

Premier Jones: “I think the tax urns n. fairly good tax. We have collected from the tobacco tax iiiwiit $78,000 iii- 580.000 a vw—"

Dr. MacM-illun: "You don't half collect it."

Premier Jones: "And the liquor tear yields more. 1 lmflw 111 80??" coon; there Ire people who try to get. around the tobacco tax. but I think they are being attended to. We got u. large amount. of tax and by the way it is growing it will be ‘pretty nearly half as much his. the land tax. I don't kinay twhethcr you pay your tnbatxo tax or not; if you chew tobacco r011 don't have to pay any."

Dr. Maolvltilan: “I may tiave to before this House is throuxh."

"Th; Government", he eonllqugd, "will require to be more liberal with exhibitions than ever -— that . is 1i’ they promote tilic filings that. . should be promoted in this Prov. thee. such as hog raising and dairy ‘ t cattle breeding." . '

m- teewem "he we RELIABLE SERVICE to increase the grants?" .

Premier Jones: "Yes." .

Dr. MaoMillan_ "That: is rigiht." '

Prmniel- Jones: "We don't want G 0d an exhibition to be the tall on O the kite 0d a horse-race. We like to encourage them all right. but _ . I have heard it said that liorle- , . racing supports the cxliitbillon here. I want to say that that has not been true. The exhibitions i ' have been somewhat. supporting horse-racing; it. la the other way ) around. During the war we kept. the Old Home Week and races going, and you would tililrik they were doing a favor by keeping cattle and tthings out there. ‘Plley were actually makilng a profit be- cause if they didn't have agricul- tural exhibits they would be taxed 2o per cent. of their re- ceipts. But with a proper agri- cultural eidiiibltion they got clear of the taxes altogether. m per cent of their receipts would amotmt to about. $9.000 which they would have to pay. They can very well afford to have cattle there at that price.

“The Government should iiol bt- askcd in put in a whole lot ol 0 money that. they don't get value for; but iii anything that they can get value (nr they are willing to cooperate."
