Following is the continuation of the

debate on the Budget as appeared in Saturdays Guardian.

HON. J. A. MacDONALD. proceed-

ing. said that one of the striking statements in the speech of the Lead- er of the Opposition was that this Government had failed to keep its promises. if there was one statement above all others that could be more at variance with the facts it was that. They had only to consider the situa- tion as it had been developed since the time the Conservative party ap- pealed to the electors in 1911 in order to see how inept the Opposition Lead- cr’s assertion was. The-fiiirst plank of tho Conservative platform was provin- cial rights. Several things were en- umerated under that head. principally the Islands claims against the Government at Ottawa, for various matters. Transportation was one thing. The Conservative party had contended for years for the elimina- tion of the three .short hands, and through the efforts of the Government, assisted always of course by the Fed- eral representatives, that grievance had been abolished. The great big thing in connection with the provinces transportation was also practically settled, in so far as the Government had all arrangements made; and while the facilities were not yet in operation it was only a question of time to com- plete the work and get the car ferry operating, when the last of their dis- abilities' _in that direction would be remedied. There was no question at ull in the mind oi' any person that it was the biggest thing ever undertak- en on behalf of this province, and everyoneappreclated the tremendous benefits that would accure from lt.

Another item in connection with

their provincial rights platform, con- tinued the speaker. was representa- tion ln' the Federal Parliament. Every effort that was possible was put forth by the Premier and his colleagues at the inter-Provincial Conference. The result had not been all that had been expected, but they had secured some- thing that was satisfactory and some- thing that meant a great deal. The fact that the province was placed in a position by which its representation would never be reduced, as compared with the pcsltion before, under which it was practically certain to rlwlndlc f'rom 4 to 3 and gradually down to nothing, was something for which they could congratulate themselves.

When the Government appealed to

the people agriculture was consider- cd an important matter, and the main- festo ol' the Conservative party laid particular emphasis on this point. .Everything promised in connection with this department had been effect- ed. and yet the Leader of the Opposi- tion. who knew better, made the statement. with regard to the Agricul- tural Department in particular that promise made had not been fulfilled. The Leader of the Opposition had been making statements to back up which he could not produce facts. it was a matter of common knowledge that the Agricultural Department of Prince Edward island today was in a position away beyond any point which it had ever reached before. The pre- sent Commissioner of Agriculture had proved himself one of the hardest workers in the Government and had succeeded in advancing agricultural conditions in the province to an ex- tent which none of them had anticipa- ted a few years ago. The keen inter- cst hc had evinced in everything per- taining to agriculture and the success which had attended his efforts in every field were a surprise to all in view of the conditions that had prevail- ed in former years. One admirable feature about his work was the prac- tical things which ho had accomplish- ed. The speaker referred to the rais- ing of mussel mud and said that so rar as the sections of the country that would be served by that means were concerned, there was nothing that

could lie of greater benefit. The suD~ plying in tha way ofa cheap fertiliz-

,___er ofthe beat kind was a distinct boon

to the farmers.

in regard to education, the promise

of bringing school supplies within the relch of all had been fully carried out, at they all knew, and the bene-

fita of tl_1_e system were_ being reegized.

‘single fact or figure in support of it for the simple reason that he could not; but' he expected the country to take his unfounded statement that

ant. They could just take that asser- tion, like all the others that he made, for what it was worth; and the speak- .er had no doubt. the country would too. The Leader of the Opposition had also made ri fatuous statement when he said that thc collecting of the taxes cost double. Why, the schoolboys in the country knew that exactly the percentage for collecting the taxes was paid at the present time as before, the only difference be- ing that the roadmaster got it where- as the tax collector received it some years' ago. And he had further stated that the taxes on the people had been doubled; and yet there was exactly the same rate of taxation in force. not a change in any shape or form. The valuation of the lands had not been touched, being the same as put by the Govenrment in 1910; the rate of taxation was the same as establish- ed by the Liberal Government before the charge. There was $3,000 more collected by the Government in 1914 than by the Liberals in 1911, ami this was a credit to the present administra- ‘tlon and. was due simply to the fact that they had adopted business-like methods for the collection of the tax- es. They did not allow their particul- ar friends to escape the collection; they went straight ahead and collect- cd the taxes. it was also a, tribute to the present method. umler which the road master collected it in each dis- trict; it was also possible to collect the taxes much more thoroughly than under the old system. Anyone who carctl to study the public accounts could easily ascertain how absurd thc statements oi' the Leader of the Op- position had referred also to the in- terest and claimed that the reduction in interest was not in the same ratio as the reduction made in the debt. But he did not take into account this fact. that in 1911, the last year that the Lib- erals managed the affairs of the coun- try. the interest paid on the debt would be practically on the debt of ,1910; then in 1912 the present Gov- ernment had to pay the interest on the addition to the debt made during 1911. No matter how the Leader of the Opposition and Liberal press might try to becloud the fact. every person could see perfectly well that the debt was being reduced.

it appeared that when the Leader

bf the Opposition arrived in his .speech at the Education Department he cen- tered the principal part of the attack on the Superintendent and his report. This was probably, of' all his speech, the most uncalled for portion and the most incorrect. He made the- state- ment that in many respects the Re- port was inaccurate. and proceeded to make some -statements upon it, with which the Commissioner of Agricul- turo had very effectively dealt. He had stated that the increase in the teachers' salaries were not as great as they had a right to expect. Now, what did they have a right to expect? Mr. MacDonald asked. in view of the treatment they had received for twenty years under Liberal rule, what right did they have to expect any- thing They had promises, lt is true, contained in the Conservative party's platform when the last election was on; but they had had so many promis- es from the Liberals for years, includ- ing a Commission on Education which was appointed to deal_ with their case, ami they had been disappointed to such an cxtent. that they would have to have a great deal of faith to expect anything from any Government or to have any confidence in any promise. The speaker said he could best `\how what the present Government had done for the teachers by quoting some extracts from past and present Sup- erintendents' reports by way of com- parison. Dr. Anderson, in giving his report in 1909, dealt very largely with the question of teachers' salaries and the reasons why they were leaving the povlnce. Mr. MacDonald here quoted the following statement

an offset to their success inideistroy- ing the Turkish torpedo boat which attacked the transport Manitou off Chios yesterday.,lost submarine E-15 which. while carrying out a difficult reconnaissance in the Dardannclles mine field. ran ashore on Kephez Point, the crew being made prisoners. According to a Turkish report seven of the crew are missing. in Egypt the British airmen dropped bombs on Turkish encampments near the border while a French cruiser, the fire of which was directed by a seaplane, has been throwing s-hells on the Turks near Elarish. where the army for the invasion oi' Egypt has its headquar- ters. These operations were 'under- taken to harrass the Turks as they had not shown any intention of attack- ing the British .since their last re- pulse along the canal.

ln the Carpathians there has been

fighting but no battle to be compared with those which the arrival of spring ,brought to a close. The Austrians officially report they have repulsed Russian attacks to the Southeast of Lupkow Pass inflicting heavy losses pn their adversaries but elsewhere .comparative calm prevails.

The French are again active in the

-Vosges capturing an important height. iThe ilrltish have attacked the Ger- mans in the neighborhood of Ypres, ,where lighting is in progress. ‘ Again lt is stated the German ef- forts for an agreement between Aus- tria and italy have failed, a report which. if confirmed. is likely to mag- nify in the eyes of Italians the fron- tier incident which occurred yester- day. According to the latest reports Austrians who were passing over into Italian territory actually fired on the Italian troops who repulsed them and in 'return penetrated into Austrian territory.

there were movements against the pernicious effects of alcohol. The Roman Empire lost its power owing principally to the inordinate use of alcohol and the debnuchery conse- quent thereon. Later on these move-, ments took up more concrete forms. There were no longer temperancr- Tnovements; they became movements for total abstinence. Medical sci- ence harl recently discovered that alcohol, even taken in niotlcrniion. was no longer a food but must hc clas-‘ sified as n drug, anti its excessive use was bound to bring about dcmornllza- tion of the human race. l-lcncc it was that at the beginning of' present hostilities, thc Russian Empire, re- cognizing that it was in n lifc and death struggle, increased materially the effectiveness of hcr fighting arm by the absolute prohibition through- out the length and breadth of the Empire, oi’ the solo of alcoholic liq- uor. A British statesman had not hesitated to say that on account of that prohibition Russia had lncrcuacd her strength nt least forty per vent. More recently France, following the example of Russia, in turn prohibitetl the sale of abstinthc. whllc the [iri- tish Government had recognized that alcohol was one of the greatcst~cn-

tend. Lloyd George had said that "\Ve arc fighting at the present time Germany, Austria- and drink, and the greatest cnemy of these is drink." (Cheers.) ln view, therefore, of the injurious effects of this brutal passion His Gracious Majesty had initiated this great movement by bauishlng nl- cohol from his household. (Cheers) All who loved humanity, all who lovcd their country. and all who loved thc Empire. said His Lordship, desired to see this movement against alcohol extended throughout. thc length und breadth of thc Empire, from London to the farthest colony. it was for that reason that they were assembled in such numbers that night, to begin ln; their own beloved little Province par-l ticipatlon in this admirable movement for total abstinence. as n whole, would .heneiit.i`rnm.this movement, whilc thc indivlfluul would also share in its mi- vantages. The value of thc alcohol consumed in thc lloininlon at large was greater than the value of the brcarl consumed. and greater than thc value of the meat also. They were glntl ami proud that t-onditlons in this respect were far better than in any other part of thc Dominion, audi that thc people here- were more' soher and less given to intctiiperaiive than in any other of thc other i‘rnv- inces. ((‘heers..| lint ns good as the Province was it needed to bc matic better. Prince Edward island had been in thc vanguard in temper- ance legislation in the past, which had been of good service. But thc stricter it could bc made thc better. They needed education behlmi legis- lation, and above all they ncedcd ex- ample. Even in this Province u great deal of money was being spent in alcohol. and what return- were the people getting for it? Nothing;in- deed. worsc than nothing. for there was degradation and impoverishmént in the wake of intemperancc. lt was for these reasons as well as for reasons of patriotism that the move- ment should appeal to them. There' was not a man amongst. the audience who did not know what it meant to witness poverty in the hovcl as a result of alcohol.
