Boastfully he compared the road building of the two governments, admitting that the Stewart Govern- ment had built as many bridges. He criticized the Stewart platform as neither "aggressive nor progres- sive." All the things in their plat- form. he said, “we are doing at the present time." Efficiency cannot be had with economy, he contended. He excused his failure to precise the subsidy claims by stating ll we had pushed in ahead o! the west we would not have got near as much.

Discussing hard surfaced roads, he said that in Philadelphia these roads had lasted 7.5 years, “but be- cause we were obliged to employ some old men—"

Another voice: "And women." (Laughter).

The Premier repeated his con- tention that lt was “economically unsound" to continue gravelling the roads. He had been criticized for not using local gravel, but it was only to be found in isolated places. His government had. been accused of spending an undue amount on the roads in election year, but he had. given instructions for letters to be sent to the road meste to see that they do not spend mme mon- ey than necessary.

Discussing succession duties, he asked “What did Mr. Stewart over- look?"

A “SMOKE SCREEN"

Premier R. B Burnett said that for three hours and a half yester- day the Opposition Leader had at- tempted to throw up a “smoke screen” to prevent the matter being discussed. He had never heard a speech in which there were so many irrelevancies. Mr. King had devoted a great deal of time to de- fending himself- “ﬂs was not on trial." asserted the Prime Minister, "if he want- cii to give evidence, why did he not appear before the committee and give it under oath." l-lc would not follow the course pursued last night by Mr. King; he would not state what he believ- ed to be facts; because he had not been a witness. At one time he had entertained s. strong conviction that he ought to have appeared before the committee on account of the manner in which his name had been employed, the Premier con- tinued. However, the opportunity hwd been. there for Mr. King to give ‘testimony before a committee of the House of whose honor and dig- nity he at one time had been cus- bodian.

INDBCENT TACTICS

lie would not deal with the per- sonal attacks dlrected against hiln last night by Mb‘. King who, the Premier declared. had spent hours in inslnuatlm and innuendo. He had talked about "if this was co” and “if that was so,“ and had thrown a smoke-screen to divert the minds of the public of this country from the affairs of Beauharncls to the income tax. Was that a sense of decency in a public man, de- manded the Prime lvllnlster. Premier Bennett charged that in an endeavor by the "cunning de- vice" whlch had marked his career. Mr. King in his speech last night had tried to divert the attention of the people of the country from Bleauhamois/“De you call that de- cency," the Prime Minister asked, after referring to certain remarks of the Liberal Leader. "Some of you may call that high political art.” But that would not deceive the Canadian people-

UNWARRANTED REMARKS

“Show me where within the four corners of the evidence there was anything that warranted the ob- g servatioru of 1dr. King, said the Prime Minister. The evidence clear- ly showed that he (Mr. Bennett) would have nothing to do with con- tnbutiom from Beauharnols so far u thcconservetlve party was cori- cernod. He had promised, said Mr- Berinstt, that if in power and the matter was raised in Parliament, that an investigation would be made into Bcauharnois.

—GOOD SHOWING BY SUM- MERSIDE RIFLE-MEN - Summer- side has every reason to he proud of the showing made by their rifle- men at the P. R. A. matches this year. Lt. A. L. McDonald, who won the Gum-Generals medal, D.C.R.A. medal and Dominion Challenge Cup has the makings of a real star. L. M. Hancock also showed up partic- ularly well, while Dr. A. W. Lcard and others shared in the prize list. With the incentive of Lt. McDon- ald's performance, there should be s. lot more interest taken in rifle shooting in Summerside and a much larger number of entries is expected from that section next year.
