What the External Auditor Found

We have ‘been accused olf going outside the Province and brin-gittg in an External Auditor. thereby slighting our own auditors in i-his Provence. Such was not the intell- tion of the Government. The idea was to get a chartered accountant. an expert in his line. about whom it could not be said that he wits parii sun, and whose findings of the fin. ancral condition of the Province would be indisputable.

What They Did With the Auto Ffies

But the chartered accountant is very definite on the matter. He says -IT IS BAD BUSINESS; anti that. if known, it CANNOT BE DEFIEIVDEDLAntI he draiws atten- tion to something else. In 1921 there were Victory Bonds amount ing to $95,500. which was just the ‘proper thing for a sinking funrl. and which it has been explained tby the leader of the Opposition. were sold because they were going to give good profits to this Province. The chartered accountant says. that instead oi‘ that money being rc-ltivesied in sinking funds. it was placed to the credit of GENERAL AiOOOUtNT in the Bank of Mon- treal ;and in the same way, in 1922, the sinking fund of $10,470 was also placed to GENERAL AC- COUNT. Also, in the some way. $291178, collected under the Motor Vehicle Act, went into GENERAL REVN-UE. This, by the way, is the money that was “esr-marked" for good rotttls and for no other pur posts! This was the auto money that ivas going to pay for the im- proved highways “whlch were not going to cost the fa-ntiers of this Province one cent!” We find that nmicy was placed in GEN-ER- AI, REVENUE also. Tile chartered illzflllllililllt says. that in order to make their sinking funds stable and adequate, as they should be, it was

end of 1923, or now, nearly $180,- 000: and that has been done. That is all wvc have 1o say about it; this fact was drawn to our attention by a man who knows his business.

subtracted the partofthe Dominion subsidy or the rest of the year 1919 attiountlng to about $119,000. .I-lave not we got the same right. to sub- tract that subsidy in 1923'! ILet us take that, and add it. to the deficit proven here in phe accounts, of $219,000, AND YOU WlI-IJL [FIN-D TIIAT Tl-IIE DEEIOIT OF THE BEDL GOVERNMENT, WI-IEN ‘IYHEY WENT OUT OF POWER. \VAS JUtST $396,000. The is judg- ing BY THEIR. OWN STAND AloDS. They cannot object to that! '(tApplause)

We have heard a great deal about that $263,000 deficit, but we never heard a word about the ASSETS of the year 1919 and 1920 which should have been credited to that year, did we? Can they criticize us if W9 followed as they say, the same methods’! But. we did not have to put in our Public Accounts in I923 the note that they put in their Public Accounts for 1919. It reads as follows:

"NO INICOM-E TAX FOR THE CIiRiRiENT YEAtR. REC- EIVED WITHIN YEAR END- ING DECEMBER 31. .1919." They must admit what they put. In there. THAT THERE WAiS NO COLLECTION OF INCOME TAX 100R 1919. Follow it into the next yeirnnnd you will flnd that they col- lected on income tax $40,288. (-1 am quoting page 31 of the Public Accounts 1920.) It says: Income Tax of 1919 received In 1920, and Income Tax arrears, $1,810,

Land lTax, $5.589. ' Fox Tax arrears, received in 1920 ferthe year 1919 (page 43), $16,000.

What the Public Accounts Show

So there are two items. of in- come tax and fox tax arrears for 1919. collected in 1920- amounting to ovcr $56,000 for which they did not even glv-e us any credit against. that enormous fictitious deficit of‘ 8553-000. But when the same basis in used to‘ calculate their de- ficit this year they put up a "howl" about taxes not collected and not credited to them. The loader of the Ollpfifiiiiflll last evening brought out the fact that there was remaining in the hands of fthe assessors. on December 31, 1923. the sumof’ $25--

ttt mutkinl; up that szaaoooo they‘

000. He tries to make, the House believe that this is a temble thing; than. it showed neglect and miame agement on our part.

But let him examine the Public Accounts of 1920, and he will find, Ion peg; 81, that the money in the hands of the assessors at the end of that year Wll $25,130. 0f comes it. h not. so much every year. 1n 1922 It was $9.600. But he cannot infer from that that this Govern- meut neglected to collect the tux es, because, as the Premier ex iplained very nlaittly to the Iiousc lost night. THE SAME MACHINE- RY WAS ‘DI-I-ERE FOR TIi-E COL- LECTION OF THETAKES. The officials w¢re the offltills of the Bell Government; they had every inducement to collect the taxes, and the tax collectors in the coun. try were given their percentaqgon taxes collected to a longer date In 1923 than ever before, so they had every tlnduce w... to cotll¢ct them. Thin inclnuntlvn that we were holding up the taxes to make a de- ficit against the Bell Government ls something THAT has NO FOUND- AT-ION IN FACT. (tAtpplause)

Don't you th-ink the simplest way of dealing with our financial situ- ation is this: Here are the reports of the Provincial Auditor t'or years hack; you will find that-the debt of the Province in 1919 was $1,198,000: in 1920, $1,176,000; in 1921, $1.277.-

the external Auditor, lg h" increas-

ed to $1,676,000. Thlt l: all therl is to any lhout our ilabllltlu. They are GOI=NG U-P, and every eet of figures you can produce will chow it. ,

And why should not fhe figures sltuw that the debt is goingup‘! It. is only a matter of common sense to know that $460,000 worth of bonds huve been sold and none have been paid toi- except what is in the sinking fund, so WtI-IY SIIOUIIID NOT TIIIE DEBT BE GOING UP? It is no use trying to argue that if the Ilell Govcrntnen-t lntd tbccn in power 1‘0r th-c next Ilour years there would have been surpluses. WE KNOW DIFFER- ENT, and you have only to ex- amine the accounts to prove i-t. Can it ‘be questioned. in. face of the Premier's statement that this yen;- tlie Estimate for INTEREST it; $100,000-$70.000 in General Ac- count and $30,000 in Highway Ac- count. Does not that show that our liabilities are Increasing?
