MR. WARBURTON AND WAR TAXES

Yesterday the Patriot reviews Mr A. B. Warburton’s

interminable speech at Bonshaw ten days ago. According to our contemporary the speech occupied eight of its valuable columns, and as it further informs us this was only a synopsis of what Mr Warburton said, we must conclude that the genial Grit must have “rivetted the attention of his bearers " for four hours. An eight column speech at the rate of delivery of Mr Warburton would loccupy two hours, and allowing a conservative condensation 'of titty per cent. for the synopsis-we have the four hours oration. Unfortunate Bonsbawltes to have had such an

iintliction-apart altogether from the oratlous of Mr Hughes and Mr Sinclair!

One of the grounds taken by the Laurier Opposition

lin moving a vote of want of confidence in the Government

‘élast session, and attempting to hamper the war measures of the country, was that the special war revenue for which lprovision was then being made, was intended to make

iup for reckless and wasteful expenditures apart from the ,war. They said that this was so because the Government

iwas borrowing one hundred millions for war expenditures. Their argument was that because the Government resorted to special taxation. aside from the hundred million war loan, therefore the special taxation was not for war pur- poses.

Mr Warburton repeated these arguments in his speech,

and the Patriot in commending them says: “ Except for the interest on war loans, the Canadian war expenditure is defrayed out of borrowed money. The taxes, while falsely called ‘war taxes’ are simply taxes to cover or partly cover the Govemment’s waste and extravagance 'altogether clear of the war."

I Let our readers think it over. The more you think about it the less you will be able to understand it. Nobody has ever yet been able to understand the Liberal argument on any basis of logical reasoning. However, that was the _proposition of the Opposition in the House of Commons and it has been adopted by Mr Warburton and the Patriot, and it is quite as good as some others put forward by the same men.

Now it so happens that the war expendtiures other than

those provided for in the war loans of this year and last year, will take just about all the money raised from this special taxation, on two items alone.

Nobody will say that interest on a war loan is not a

war outlay. If it is not, then of course there isn't any war outlay: you are conducting the war on borrowed money and the cost of this money is not a. war expenditure. It's a pretty hard notion to swallow, even by the most willing Grit.

The war loan last year amounted to fifty million dollars. The war loan this year amounts to one hundred million

dollars.

l The interest on these borrowings will amount to six millions and a half. purely and simply a war expenditure.

That is one item.

The Government has put into force it system of pensions

for Canadian soldiers. The most that Canada can do for those heroes who stemmed the German tide at Langemarck and have held the Huns ln check since then, is none too much. The pension outlay is estimated at from four to

five millions. lf that lsn't a war expenditure, perhaps Mr Warburton or the Patriot will tell us what it is, and what a war expenditure il..

The war loan interest of six and a half millions and

the pension list of four to five millions, make it total of ten and a. half to eleven and a half millions. The special war revenue will be sufficient to cover that amount.

Events are proving the shallow stupiility of the position

lflkéll by the Opposition under Laurier last session, and we are more than surprised that Mr Warburton and the l°all'l°t lllW0 U0! Dl‘0lll9d bl' 7119111. But no. the dependents of our.dead soldiers must be left out of account when the Grits consider war expenditure. Our fallen heroes

count for nothing evidently when Grits start out to calcu- late the cost of the war.

A In order to better understand the fundamental failure .of Canadian Liberalism let us for a few moments take 1; rapid survey of the political record of Sir Wlifrld Laurier. ;l;0°d11Y Sir Wilfrid poses as the champion of federation. ut it was as the enemy of the federation of the scattered

Provinces of Canada that he first crossed the political Blass- Ill the Dress and on the platform he arrayed his y°“llll'“l el°qU9“C9 Bsainst that greatest of all Canadian projects. In this he merely followed ln the footsteps of gle Llbeml leaders °f that diy.

Tupper ln ‘ “ °°l “» “ml Tllley in New Brunswick that made the scheme possible.

So much for Confederation. Let us tum over the page

ati; :ati what was the attitude of Sir Wllfrld Laurier on Gamma e"P3"‘e“l- “Bfl°“°l Dl‘0lect. the construction of the

n ac tic Railway. When Liberal demsxogues rant the Conservative party being the enemy of the “ml the W"l°l‘\l f_Hl'IIlBl'. one cannot help wondering

'rpg ¢|-pp reports of the Provincial sud Federal Delllfi'

mqpu of Agriculture have just been received.

The Provincial report la not a. promising one. sltbolllll

Wheat has been injured by the prolonged cold weather

and only on the higher lands is an average crop 6X‘ll€¢fe‘l- The prospect for the oat crop has been materially affected by the wet weather. particularly in townships 6, 7 and 15. An average oat crop is not expected, while in some sections of the above named townships there are some farms in which no oats have been sown on account of the prolonged wet weather. The same remarks apply I0 blrley. corn. potatoes and roots, so thats much less than average all- round crop is expected. With good warm weather, how- ever, much improvement is still possible and the outcome

may be better than the present promise would indicate-

Tbe conditions which militated against the field cr0PB

have also interfered with the fniit crop to some extent. polllnatlon having been hindered by the continued wet weather. Bush fruits and strawbenies are more promising.

The Federal Department's report. covering the whole

dominion, is little, if any, more promising than that for Prince Edward Island. In Nova Scotia and New Brunswick the same weather conditions obtained as in Prince Edward island, and the prospects for all the crops are generally

about the same as here.

ln Quebec the bay crop ls about ouethlrd less than

average, while most of the field and root crops are more

promising.

In Ontario the hay crop is light and uneven, grain and

hoed crops looking well and the fruit crop good.

In Manitoba growth was retarded by dry weather early

in the season and by cold weather later. Hay and corn

are backward.

In Saskatchewan there was considerable damage from

frosts, which killed corn, tomatoes and squash, retarded potatoes and injured small fruits. There is no hay owing to drought and all grain crops are suffering from drought.

ln Alberta conditions are reversed, all the crops looking

good, except in south-westem Alberta, where excessive

rains and cold weather retarded growth.

ln British Columbia fruit and field crops are good. clover

and alfalfa exceptionally heavy and hoed crops promising

well.

With this forecast before them our farmers will ba in a

position to judge with considerable accuracy what the prospects are and what the market requirements are

likely to be.

SPREADING AN UNTRUTH

We regret to find that Mr Warburton and his hench-

mun, the Patriot, are lnsidiously spreading a report which was officially denied in the House of Commons and re- tracted by its originator. On February 15 Professor Adam Sliortt. chairman ofthe Civil Service Commission, speaking at ii Sunday meeting in Toronto, said 2,000 Civil Servants had been dismissed since the present Government came into power and added:

"Who took the place of the 2.000 servants who were

reported in the House the other day to have been dis- missed from the service? Just 10,000."

In other words, Professor Shortt endeavoured to convey

the meaning that 10,000 men were employed to do the work of those 2,000. The professor was taken to task in the House for tlils statement and it was conclusively proved that it was a gross fabrication which had been formulated for political purposes, the professor being a Grit appointee. The facts are that there were 2.000 dis- missals and four thousand resignations, s. total of 6,000. which left only 4.000 new appointments mostly due to the development of the country and the extension of the Government service. Each head of a department sub- mitted statements showing how the increases were accounted for, and not one of these individual appoint- ments was challenged-except by Mr J. J. Hughes. When Professor Shortt was interviewed on the subject he replied that he had founded his charge on a newspaper report and that he had no information about reslgnations. Pro- fessor Shortt occupies a highly responsible position and had no right to make the statement he did without accurate information, and was justly and rightly taken to task for lt. Notwithstanding this, Mr Warburton and thc Patriot reiterate the false charge and go a step farther, stating that the number of new appointments totalled 12.000- 2,000 more than Professor Shortt mentioned, and 8,000 more than the actual facts. A candidate who would adopt such tactics has little chance of obtaining the suffrages of honest and right thinking electors-as Mr Warburton will find in due course.
