Guardian. These are the abolition cf the poll tax and a reduction in the sessional indemnity.

The poll tax has been an iniquit- ous imposition without any justi- fication and contrary even to the loudly acclaimed Litberal rpolicy of levying the taxes on the stealthy while letting the poor off as easi- ly as possible. The poll tax fell heaviest upon the poor and parti- cularly upon the farmer and the farm laborer. A three dollar poll

tax for a mun getting un uncertain wage of two dollars a day is a very different matter from a simi-‘i lar tax upon s man who like. Buy

One oi the Patriot's fattest hallu- cinations, as expressed in its Sat-ur- day's issue is that “the whole op- postl-tion this session voted for the adoption of the report of the Pub- lic Accounts Committee."

two Conservative members of the Committee‘ did no-tfsign the report and had nothing to do with i-t. it was simply ignored -by them know- ing as they did ‘that the report. right or wrong, would be carnled by the ‘ibrute strength" of the Lllberal party.

Hon. Mr. Sinclair's Role

Sir.——i note your editorial yes- terduy respecting the Hon. J. E. Sinclair's activities in railway management. promising standard- isation. new stations and we don't iqnow what else is to oome during the local campaign. if i remember arig/ht Mr. L. S. Brown had these things represented to him last win- ter by the Boards of Trade, in, the Charlottetown Board of Trade roomu and that he then assured us they were already decided up- on.

What is most interesting in this connection is Mr. Sinclair's bit of comedy play. We thought and were led to believe by the Liber- als. that the railways were out of politics andthat Sir Henry Thorn- ton uas the master head of the whole system. When did Sir Henry retire and when did Mr. Sinclair assume control? When was the system restored to the political machine. and who is now drawing the $50,000 salary for management Mr. Sinclair or Sir Henry?

The people of Canada and tho members of the House of Commons appear to he ignorant of this change; if the shuffle had really taken place. -Mr. Sinclair still holds his scat in the House. Strange.

I am Sir, etc. OBSERVER.

Those Bad Roads

Sir,~—\\’hy ls it there is so much road work done on the permanent highways and the other roads left in such a horrid condition? Is it just to give a good impression on election year of what the Govern- ment has done on those new high- ways‘!

In n district much drfven over by mt- there never has been one shovel of clay or one bit of work

-done on the roads this year, only

a few spruce boughs put in a hole that otherwise was in danger of breaking a horse's leg. One whom l stippose to be the roadmaster is on thc other side, evidently sub- llmely unconscious. Why is there not someone appointed to look af- ter this state of affairs? if there is no good old Liberal, surely there is some Conservative who knows how to keep s road at least ln pas- sable condition. How is one going to get to‘ the "lovely" new high- ways that cost so much to be built, and ‘now have to be scraped so

SHOULD YOU KEEP A CLINICAL THERMOMETER HANDY?

i have often wondered whether it ls a wise thing the way in which many people have taken fc the use of the thcrmomenter.

‘ii they feel the least bit out ol' sorts they put the thermometer un- der the tongue and if the temper- ature is up a degree or two im- med-lately they lbecome alarmed. and our friends, t-he drugs that re- duce the temperature arc immed- iately taken in regular doses. Do you know that a little fever 'jus: shows you that Nature is trying to take care oi you iby working hard- er, hurrying up the tblood stream and thus trying to carry the poison products to the organs that throw them out of the body.

i-s it wise then to take drugi in!" ‘you to limit its action, just so that the thermometer will read a little jiower. The lzwer temperature does 'not ensure safety.

Have you noticed what your doc» tor does, and what is done all over the medical world, when high telli- erature is shown?

Mr. Melgiten and some other Consor- vative members have had the nud- acity to criticise the hotel pur- chase, hut the money has been voted with the full approbation of the government and United Farin- er parties.

.' It will be such a fine thing for all the farmers in nil the nine pro- vinces to have s two million build- ing m Psrisi Both Premier King and Leader Forke defend the tran- saction, however, chiefly on the ground that Sir Henry at his up- pointtnont was promised "a ‘free hand,’ with no interference from the Government. And he is evi- dently using his free hand to some purpose. Whether the next two million purchase will be made in Berlin, Brussels, Washington or what other foreign capital city we can only guess. All that we know or are apposed to know is that the millions of good Canadian doi- lars pay the shot and in such cases we can only learn the facts after the thing is done and the bargain is irrevocably fixed.

The Quebec Liberals. who include the majority of the party in power. are known to be opposed to public ownership. Nat- uraliy they desire that the experi- ment rnall result in failure. Other members, belonging to the Oppo- sition and the more or less inde- pendent class desire that it shall succeed.

created a corporation and given it "a. free hand" to spend untold mil~ lions of public money In any Will l! pleases. And the government has abdicated any right of interfer- ence. however reckless or extrava- gant such expenditure may be. What is more, Parliament is bound to vote the money so 1on8 BB "l9 King government can control a majority of votes in the House. The non-interference agreement, which was at first supposed to be- limitethhas nowlbroadened out to covel‘ anything Sir Henry and his Directors may ordain or do. By so much they have greater POW" over iailway affairs and over any expenditure that can be construed as being of possible utility to the rhlltvoy system. (they themselves being the judges) than the Govern- ment which appointed them.

The government holds itself bound to carry out the behssts of the Railway Board. Sir Henry and the Board have been given n "free hand" that tnust not be interfered with. Thus constitutional respon- sibillty is reversed, the King gov- ernment being responsible to the Board and the Board not respon- sible to the government. The bonti- age holds firm on the one part an-i the "free hand" tosses the millions about as lightly as if doi- lars were cents.
