THE CHARLOTTETDWN GUARDIAN,‘ '""

SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1920 iioiiiisiliau. ix LIBERALS luxks.

Hon. A. E. Arsenault in his short address Friday morning threw a bombshell into government ranks that caused considerable consternation and would have‘ caused a general scattering had there been a way of escape. '

Some members who are blessed with short mem- ories—and in their case the defect must have been a

blessing—had probably forgotten the attitude of their party on the general financial situation. llIr. Arsenault brought home to them ill painful and in- controvertible fashion where their leader stood ‘less than a year ago; they themselves had a vague idea of where he stands today.

. Mr. Arsenaiilt read from a report of one of Mr. Bell’s speeches in the House at the last session as follows: _ _

“The revenue was large enough to provloe the necessary increase (to teachers‘ salaries). Moreoyer, as he had pointed out, the amount due the province from the sale of western lands, if properly presented —pi'o§lcrly presented mind _V(lll———\\'0Llltl be sufficient to increase tlle teachers’ salaries and the government was remiss ill its (lll1_\' if it 121K011 the people of this Iirovince while these vast silms of money were lying unclaimed at Ottawa." .

And today‘, where (loos the ‘Premier stand? Sheltering" himself behind a plea for increased salar- ies to te chers he ileliiailils not only an increase for that purpose but ilnother for general reveliilc-l-it least so said tlic speech from the throne. The only matters referred to in this speech, aside from a few

frills to give it the zlppearzlilec of respectable length, is taxation. taxation for education. taxatiolrto aug- ment the revenue, taxation on general l)l‘lilCl])l0S,' taxation ally old wily and for any purpose-—and everything else in the speech leads the way’ towards: this threatened epidemic of taxation-great crops} which Will afford to be taxed, general prosperity which will willingly and even thankfully yield up a‘ portion of itself to “augment the revenue.” And one‘ short year ago, looking out from the dim shades of opposition to the suiikissed seats of the mighty the‘ revenue was ample for all requirements and the gov-i ernment of that day “was remiss in its duty to the

province if it tzlxetl the people” even to pay the in-

creased salaries to teachers. And not only did Mr.

Bell so declare on the floor of the House a year ago,

but he induced his candidates to preach the same

doctrine before the last election, and they did it to a

man.

What do his disciples think today? What do they‘ think of themselves? What will they say to their con- stituents whom they consciously or unconsciously deceived by promises of reduced taxation? Will they adopt the manly course prescribed for them by Mr. H. D. McLean a few nights ago, the only course open to men who value their word—return to their con- stituents and tell them frankly they were deceiving‘ the people when they promised them there would be no increase in taxation, hand them back the man- date they received under false pretelices and ask for a new mandate to carry out the policy they now

_ believe necessary’? Will they do it?

No doubt the discussion of theHighivays bill and‘ certain other public works precipitated by the Hon,‘ the Commissioner of Public Works was a preliminary cantor ]li‘€[)éll't1l‘1ll‘_\’ to the grand steeplechase that is» due when the bill is introduced. To inform the pub-f lic of the awful conditions prevailing throughouti the country, of bridges unsafe for travel, of neglectj of the highways, of the thousands upon thousands‘ that the government is going to spend on roads and bridges when they fund the auto license money and borrow‘ some $400,000 on the product, is certainly taking time by the fol-clock. The government members , are speaking froln inside knoivlerlge of the bill, prob-i ably with a view‘ to iliseovering its weaknesses and eor- . recting them ;the opposition know nothing of the bill; l 311 they know is that when the federal offer was pre- sented last year every Liberal member in the House‘ and every Liberal ll0\\"S])itl)Cl‘ inthe province de- nounced it as an “infcrnal" scheme to extort money, _ _ mers. Intelligent discussion of the sub- i Ject at this stage therefore is impossible and thel time spent on expatiating on the alleged neglect! of the late Commissioner of Public Works and the! generally “awful” conditions is time wasted. When; the bill is brought down and the government showsf its hand the whole road, bridges and all, will have to‘ be gone ovcr zlgain.
