Lea Gov’t’s “Record” A Mere Patchwork Of Political Gestures’

If it had not- boen so: ihrfratltic efforts of the izea Government to make election propaganda, the last session of the Legislature would have been the shortest on record. Measure after measure was introduced into committee for no other purpose apparently, than to bulldoze the public and make political capital. '

After abolishing statute labour, a gesture was made of re-lntroducmg this system under an Act so designed as to give to the road officials of the Lea Government the power to pick and choose those who should have the priv- ilege of commuting their taxes-a return to the patronage system at its worst, and a barefaced attempt to bribe the taxpayers with their own money!

Another hoped-for vote-catcher was the Ticket of Leuve Act, a measure unheard of in any other Province, which olready has had the effect of further stultifying the Prohibition Law m the interests of political heelers and partwuns.

Another statute empowered the Government too-also the gasoline tax without the authority of the Legislature. Mr. _Lea contended that this did not necessarily mean a tax mcreose; but almost immediately after the session the gasoline tax, WlllClI had already been raised from three to five cents a gallon by the Sounders Government, was increased to SIX cents; and no assurance has been giv- en that still further increases by Order in Council will not he made if the Lea Government should be returned to pow- er.

‘The pretence at a belated implementation of the Lib- eral platform with respect to the payment of railway taxation to the city and incorporated towns and villages _ _ political chicanery and msmcerity. As the Opposition members pointed out, this pledge could have been implemented at the session of 1928

just as easily as in 1931 if the Government was sincere, as they had obtained no additional federal revenue since that time. Moreover, the Government refused to state the ""10""! "W! Iniencled to pay the city and towns, and took Zcelsygéon beyond introducing the legislation as an empty

Perhaps the most significant political gesture was the repeated insistence on federal issues, culminating in 'a resolution introduced by the Hon. Horace Wright, ex-Pro- gressive free-trader, protesting against the tariff policy of theBennett Government, over which the time of the House was wasted in an unprofitable debate having for its sole obJect the rehashing of the questions raised and de- gided upon by the electors in the federal election of last

ear.

Even the Public Accounts Committee was prostituted by the Lea Government for the purposes of political pro- paganda. Special meetings were called for the purpose of concocting this propaganda. And when the Opposition members of the Committee requested permission to refute certain misstatements made before the Committee by the Provincial Auditor, the request was refused on the ground that the statements in question had been improperly heard l: the ftlrgt place, and had no bearing on last year's Public

ccoun a

All through the session, the same unscrupulous cam- paign was in evidence showing clearly the panic into which the Government was thrown by the prospect of facing the people and the lengths to which It was prepared to p0 to
