Bunbsr TONIGHT

"rhis evening at B o'clock in the legislature, Premier Macmillan will deliver the Budget Speech. Without anticipating the Frontier's remarks, it is safe to predict that he will make a convincing and able pres- entation of the financial position of the Province and that he will be able to show that st no time since Confederation have so many heavy responsibilities bccn shouldered by the administrallon in power. A large part of the deficit incurred during the year was in connection with un-

employment rclicf. Had the Gov- ernment iukcn the attitude which the Saunders-Lea Government did on one occasion with regard to thc support of delinquent children, and repudiated its responsibility, a much better shozving would b: lnodc in the Public Accounts. Had it neglected, _ as the Liberal Government did, to inlpfelnent its pledge respecting Old Age Pensions. the account would look still bcller on laaper. But the Ptcmier and his colleagues were more concerned with the interests o: the Province than with making ' pre-elcction propaganda; and it will be for the opposition, i; they chose, to criticise the expenditures by which the most needy and deserving sections of our people have so large- ly benefitted. It is to be hoped, now that the Opposition members are in posses- sion of all the departmental reports, that their statements will be based lose on rumor and surmise, and more on facts and figures, than their utterances in the Draft Ad- dress debate. Mr. Lea. in his fam- ous "htgh-llghls“ which were subse- quently analyzed with arousing re- sults, set a bad example to his fol- lowers. His harping on the Govern- ment's borrowing at six per cent for the purpose o; reducing his own huge overdraft, and the exposure o! the fact that he himself had bor- rowed at that. interest rate for a ha year period, when he might, by following his own precept, have mode a short term loan, was Just one example cg the pitfalls which m; op- members dug for thomseww in that lmag-drawn-out debate. Liberal speakers left so much of their ammunition lying around that ft was not difficult for Avtomeywieneral MacPhea, the last speaker, to use n. on them with de- vastating effect. ‘Hie fact that Mr. MacPhce made flu mast cfioctlve speech of the de- bnbeknohasoarconteml-‘ifilfllvlfl- denoted to suggcuz, a. reflection on k Premier or any other Govern- ii merrber, orfllupgzorier who yccdod him.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Budget spmch by Premier Mac- Millan tonight.

That “ModeP Budget of the Lib- erB/ls badly "spilled the beans."

Yes, it wss a. black Wednesday all right for the Liberal opposition when Attorney General MacPhec raked them fore and aft.

Clemenceau was right when he tried to convince Wilson and Lloyd George that the only satisfactory end of the world war would be a. march on Berlin.

Finance Minister Rhodes has produced a. musterly budget, show- ing a grasp of detail and vision rarely met with in political heads of the treasury. In too many i11- stances in the past. has dependence been placed on deputies; Mr. Rhodes has first hand familiarity with every important detail, and handles them as readily and effec- tlvely as Hon. Mr. MacPhee does the record of the Liberal opposition hem. '

This ‘is an era. of deficits. An op- erating deficit of intween 825,000,- 000 and $21,000,000 for the fiscal yeas- ending October 31, 1034, will,‘ it is understood, be reported by‘ Premier Hepburn when as provin- cial treasurer he tables the public accounts in the legislature and brill; down his first budget this week. Direct relief charges on the province which am now being charged against ordinary revenue and not being capitalized a; was the policy of the fonmr Henry admin- istration figure in the above deficit to the reported extent of approx- imately $17,000,000. Th: eight tn ten millions in remaining deficit are a untabic it 1a said. to big in- crease in cxpendituns and de- creases in avenues over and above the forecasts of the former Henry Government in their last session, 1094.

of Natum and direct our lives in ac- cordance with them, the rough Places become smooth and we learn to combat or put. up a successful fight against fear and worry." "selfishness is the next barrier to mental health. To acquire ‘ ness we must take an ca“; and kindly interest in other people. I have never encountered a lover of men. nor one with a real sense of humor in a mental hospital or clinic."

I am quoting Dr. G. B. Lake, edi-

tor of Clinical Medicine and Sur- gery, on Psychic Hygiene or mental health as it. might be called.

No man or woman can be wholly sound mentally who is~not engaged in some form of useful work. The

man or woman who is "killing time" is murdering most of life's hope for happiness.

The more we know about the lives and activities of our fellow men, the less will we be looking inward upon ourselves. We learn to see the other person's viewpoint. and that makes us more ‘understanding’ and less selfish. It is this understanding of the viewpoint, the rights and de- sires of others that makes the play- ing of team games so helpful to growing children. Thus we find that those who have played the games of childhood and youth are seldom found in our mental hospitals. They have learned to give and take; that ls give t0 the other that to which the other is entitled, and take from others that to which they them- selves are entitled.

Dr. Lake says further: “Most mental ill-health begins with ignor- ance, stupidity or selfishness on. the part of parents. Parents forget that chfdren are human souls with in- dividualities and characters o; their own which must» be developed; not jugs into which wc are to pour the some muddy brew of misinform- ation, supcrstition, prejudice and ill will which has filled our days. at best with boredom; and, at. worst, with despair.“
