i/‘Balaiicing The Budget"

The electors, our contemporary says, will soon know what the Conservative expenditures were before going otit of office. Unfortunately. it ivill be much more difficult for them to obtain information about the present Government's financing, there being no opportunity of putting questions in the Legislature except through Government supporters. This is a disadvantage which no other taxpayers in the British Empire arc under. It is one of the most serious aspects of a situation which puts a premium on irregu- larities of all kinds. No government has ever been vested with dictatorial power without abus- ing it; and the CAMPBELL Government gives no evidence of qualifying as an exception.

Selling government cars as an "economy" gesture will fool no one who has visited the Provincial fluililing during the past few weeks. Even those taxpayers who have riot had the op- ptlfttllllly of doing this, have read with amaze- ment the Patriots glowing description of the oriental splendour of the offices, “new through-i out”, of the Premier and his secretary, with floorings of tile and polished birch, with fancy “corniccs,” radiator "grilles", "renovated” furn- iture, brick open fire-place and built-in book-, cases; with the Public \\'orks minister's luxui- ious suite of offices, also, no doubt, ornate withj cornices and sculptured cupids as well as “a‘ rubber-tiled floor ;" with the Legislative As- sembly Chamber “renewed throughout", its ceil- ing decorated “in ground ivory with the high leafs tinted in gold", set off by gorgeous new,’ lighting fixtures; with the “completely reno-' vated”, re-plastered and re-carpcntered Speak- er's room, and Premier's room, and Members’ “rest room"—ivhatever that's for!—aud all the other evidences of splendour and magnificence which the late "extravagant" Conservative gov- ernment never even dreamed of. They, poor fellows! were only intent on insuring the safety and stability of the building.

Nor is all this unnecessary work being done by tender, which Liberals in Opposition insisted was the only economical way, but by day's work, under an eight-dollar-a-day foreman and nu- rrierous highly-paid sublforemeu and hangers on. What thc total bill will be, we doubt if Mr. McINTvnc himself has any conception. There is not a scrap of legislative authority for expend- ing money on anything over and above the necessary repairs which Ex-Prcinicr hlAChllLLAN outlined in the House last "March. What was the Liberal attitude on that occasion? If our con- lc iorary has forgotten. we refer it to its issue n l nllfll 1'5, 1935. Therein, under the heading: "1 truest Appeal for a Balanced Butlget made In ~lr. B. W. LizPaon”, the present President of the Executive Council is quoted as saying:

“I notice by the report that, this Gov- ernment confetti-plate: spending f/ie sum of $40,000 on the foundation of tlic Provincial Building], I would strongly» advise the Gov- rriinicnl lo yo "uery slate/y in f-‘Jliflflldillg xiirh a large rum of motley, and {fit is absolutely necessary to spend money on I/ie foiiiizlulion fendcrs slicfiilti be called for."

But, by telling the pattern: ti; "look- ed like neumonla," and the com- mon cold 1s often the forerunner of pneumonia, the patient book 1t for granted he must remaln ln bed. He would therefore not mind remaining 1n bed for a time and would natur- ally make Q good recovery.

Of course there mlght be cues where the viiry thong-ht of pneu- monlii. would take all the “flght" out of the patient, but even 1n these cases, u the patient was kept. 1n bed, there might be some depression of aplrlta and even of the heart 1t- self, but not auﬂtclent to prevent him recovering from a. cold.

Naturally two weeks or even ten days la usually longer than is nec- essary to rest ln bed with a cold. The usual method of moat. physic- ians 1s to have the patient remain in bed (after the temperature 1a normal) one whole day for each de- gree of temperature found during the height of the illness. Thus 1f the temperature was 103' degrees, that 1s four degrees above normal. than the patient remains 1n bed four days after the temperature ls down to normal.

In the Government Sale provinces the brewers and dlstlllers are carry- lng on far more successful education leading to drink, than all church, school, home, temperance organiza- tlon and government education combined, for sobriety.
