The‘ ‘heed Potato Industry

The growing of certified seed potatoes, an industry yet in its in-

fancy, has already become a most -

profitable branch of agriculture in ‘runny sections of the iProvlnce. lt has opened up new and satisfact- ory markets and in u short time promises to ‘become a great finan- cial boon to ourontiro population.

The wlthdrawl 0f the Dominion agricultural grant was indeed a matter of ‘vital importance. as any thing that affects the welfare of Lhe farming population affects everyone in the Province, agricul- ture being our chlcf industry. Great care and good judgment must be used to off-set the effects of the withdrawl of this money. ' "

The Women's institutes in many septlfifio pf ‘the-iProvince today are ngi great work, especially in connection with our public schools and m 01, ‘the improved .con- ditions srcfdué largely to their efforts. One of the greatest assets any country can have is K00‘! schools andnnything that can be done to improve our system of education or promote it in any manner is vitally important and- dc-aorves all encouragement.

Regarding immigration, any policy that may be inaugurated by which immigrants of a desirable character are induced to settle in this Province will .be o f - great value. lit was a matter of profound regret that our population is decreasing in the alarming manner inwhich it has been doing, especi- ally in die vpast few years, and any- thing that can be done to prevent. this exodug will undoubtedly be s great benefit.

‘increased amount o! travel on these roads every-year. we must all realize that the question of unkeep of ithese roads is on of our great- est roblenis.

‘ o storm of last October was the most destructive in many yeans and anyone travelling on our public roads must realize, at least to some extent, the great damage an destruction which it caused to highways and bridges, and also the large outlay of money necess- ary to restore and repair them.

THE OPPOSITION LEADER

Mr. A. C. SAUNDERS, leader of the Opposition, congrutulatetl the Speaker on the honor conferred upon him in his election to the Speaker's chair; also the mover and serondcr of the reply to the Speech from the 'i‘l.\rone, who, lie said, IldiI made the best oi’ their opportunities with the material at hand. Ho also congratulated the Premier, whom he respected politi- cally, professionally and personally, but who, be believed, had already matlo some mistakes. He thought it a mistake to have let the hon. member from Morel] out of the Executive and wondered why the hon. member from ‘Surnmerslde, who was formerly Commissioner of Pnbilc Works, was mot given an op- portunity of continuing his good work. He asked wily it was that the hon. member for Albertou was not . appointed n Attorney-General, and why the ‘Premier had taken the double position and salary. The present Legislature had some re- semblance to the British Labor (lovornmeut, and like that. it might be called the lMacDonald Government, but the Premier had lost an opportunity of beginning economically.

llr. gSnungle-rs considered the] Speech from the Throne unique in, what it contained and omitted. He was pleased that a good start bad been made in having the J-louse meet ‘promptly. He strongly up- proved of the twoparty system. The Opposition would IDGTIOPHI-(IIBII duties and criticize to the best of their ability, but would also do all they could to facilitate business. Hc concurred with the sentiments in the Speech regarding His Excel- lency the Governor General. Thanks for tho bountiful harvest. he agreed, belonged toiDivlne Providence. He was sarcastic albout the possibili- ties of securing better lprlces for farmers.

The raced potato industry had boon fostered under the Bell Gov- ernment and this credit. should the given to lIlC lute Commissioner of mzrlculturc. lie was told thatlnst ycai" over 3,600 tons of fertilizer bud bot-n imported. at lowest cost. by lender, resulting in a saving o! from $15,000 to $20,000 to thi‘ farmers.

Tho Potato (irowers' Association wore given free ofllces in the lAgfi- cultural Department. and the free of Mr. Wilfred ‘Boulter. Tho Conservative Government, he contended, had not done anything yet.

Iln regard to the withdrawal of the agricultural grant, if it will have anything to do with the clos- ing of the ‘Technical School, it was to be devpltircd. He understood this grant. like the highways grant, was for in limited period only. and the time was now up. ‘But this, ho con- tcntlr-d, should not be an excuse for ‘hr (‘nmtnissloner of Agriculture to vrnz. 7.0 the people by discontinu-

tlon ended when the (Bell Govern- ment come into power and today there were few, it any. ‘living the Province. die ibelietvod that in Mr. 1R. H. Rogers the IG-overnmdlit had so- cured one of the host Superintend- ents of Education ‘the ilsiand ever had, and it an ansminatioa is to be made into our educational system no unan was Ibetter fitted to be sp- nointed chairman.

Mr. Saunders believed the day of srouching over hard times was gone. 1n no mince were -peo<pio more happy and contented than here. ‘We have more money de- posited, and more invested in Vic- tory iBonds, than ever ibeforo. ‘Most of the farmers ‘have their money invested in these bonds, and every- body Ls living prosporously and contented. The time for a more cheerful outlook the world’ over has come. ‘in a few years, he bo- lieved, conditions will be restored to normal again. Our loss of pop ulation is regrettable. and it should be our aim to got the very best settlers possible. iNow is the up portune ‘time, in -view of the heavy burdens of taxes in Europe. ‘

An adventurer named Mitchell had come to the Province some time ago. ‘Mr. Saunders had not seen this man, ‘but there was no doubt ‘that ho ‘had persuasive ways and a usanner whereby he lngrati- nted himself into the good opinion of gentlemen occupying seats in the Local Government. tHon. John ~E. Sinclair, in tho kindness of his heart, got interested in Mitchell's proposition for vtho benefit of the Province. He was gilad to see that Ari-r. Sinclair's explanation of his connection ‘with ‘Mitchell, given at the opening of ‘Parliament at Otta- wa, had been published verbatim in the Guardian. Nowadays a man in public life is a target for every shooter, but ‘he believed Mr. Sin- clair's reputation had proved bullet proof. There tuever was anything in the enquiry. he contended, that reflected on 1m. Sinclair's honor. honesty or ln-tegidty. iHe had been informed that the English ex-ofilc- ers victimized lby Mitchell bad been adavised to secure counsel; if this were so he asked why the At- torney General had not. offered his services freely.

_ Mr. Saunders admitted the road system of the Bell Government was not of a permanent nature. That would have cost from $30,000 to $40,000 a mile. The material at hand had to be used. ilt. was com- plete nonsense to compare the condition of the roads today ‘with what they were dive or six years ago. The lBeil Government had already done what the presentGov- ernment proposed doing, and had expended upwards of $648,000 up to December 3i, 1922, increasing the liabilities of the Province by only $180,000, which they were en- albled to do by funding the auto fees. The late ICvIIIIIIIBBIOIIGI‘ of Public Works bad been late in in- augurating hIs- scheme. ‘but had tried to get over as much of the roads as IPQSBI-IJIG. aHe had a com-

plete scheme under consideration. it was true tho roads were not pro-| penly maintained and the spenkerl’ had suggested ‘to Mr. Crosby, and now suggested to the present Gov-I ernment that an auto truck for re- puir work be provided for each county. He was glad to know thatl it was the intention of the Govern- ment to devise some method of maintaining the highways. He did not believe the old Road Act was any better than the llell Govern- ment Act. ‘It was ‘out 0f date and never was any good. He. was no: and never had been in favor 0i iioad inspectors and Overseers. Some new system must be adopted. and men who had made a life study of the matter should be consulted.

Mr. Saunders gathered from the Speech ‘from the Throne -that u dc- _flclt was anticipated, despite how nicely the Bell Government had left everything. Wily was it neces- sary to import accountants when therw were expert local men‘! This, he behaved, meant some new sys- tem which would ibe more expen- sive. What was the matter with the old system of accounting’!

Ijlo ecame sarcastic on the mat- ter of axation. ‘He hoped the Gov- crn-mcnt was going to do away with the Act altogether. That would be lino. The poll tux had not yetibesn done awaywith; If it is wrong no amount of legislation can make it right. The tax. if iniquitous, houltl not have been collected. Five years nun, as u member of the Opposition. he deplored that taxes had not been increased to a reasonable ex- imlt. When tho iBell Government was returned In 1919 lie had stated the necessity at a Liberal caucus of imposing additional taxes to make up $200,000 of revenue. This scheme which ho had worked out was latcr adopted. Of all taxes outlin- ed, the poll tax was the most equit- ubie. To promise to repeal it was not sintosmsnship and he had bo- lieved Premier Stewart wouidcome to regret it. If thin tax is taken off there must be either o deficit or a greater tax im sod on the land. nvery part of t o ‘Bell Government Tax iAct, ho said, ‘was ‘fair and reasonable.
