FRIDAY, JUNE 4TH, 1915.

WHAT THE FARMERS PAY

In every respect the Province has benefited by the

change of Government which took place in 1911. Ono has but to refer to the files of the Island! newspapers prior to 1912 and there he will find nothing but growlings. .grumlr lings. complaints and even threats against both the powers- that-be in the Province and at Ottawa. The Island was in a state of bankruptcy, nothing was beting done or could be done by the party in power to improve conditions or even save the situation. The Liberal Premiers and member!

of the Government, it ia true, went galavanting all over Canada, and even to England. at a cost to the Province of $9,000, WHICH WAS BORROWED by the Government, but they succeeded merely in landing the Island deeper in the iiiirc. The Liberals buiigled most things they handled, and especially bungled our representative case and our claims for additional subsidy. The prime object of the Liberal clique here was not to push the claims of the Province to a, successful issue, but to keep in with the authorities at

their favorites personal favors.

Premier lllathieson when in Opposition pressed and

the Province. and even weut`the length of offering assist- ance in putting our claims effectively before the Adminis- tration at Ottawa. His pleadings and oh`ers were spurned, our representation claims were rejecned, and our appeal for additional subsidy was turned down with the curt advice to go home and tax the farmers more as they were not taxed half enough.

That was the Liberal way of doing business. Contrast then with now. Today one never hears a bona~

fide complaint from anybody. The Editor of the Patriot alone out of the 93,000 inhabitants of the Island is left to murmur and complain, but not of any neglect or maladmin- istration on the part of either the local or federal govern- ments. His grouch is against the popularity and success of the Malhieson regime. There has been nothing to parallel it in the history ot' the Province. ln ri brief three years the Province has risen from bankruptcy to comp". itive affluence; all the public services are well, eiilclently and economically administered, llie farmers are more lightly taxed than under the Liberals, and every honest farmer and citizen who has no particular axe to grind atand 88 One mah b¢hirld the Mathieson Government.

If iS inlefeslillg to make a. comparison between taxation

then and now and to show the difference between ineffic- ient Liberal administration and efficient Conservative ad- miuistratioii:

LIBERAL TAXES IN 1911

Out of a total revenue of $375,000 the farmers paid

$58,650 in Land and Road Taxes.

coNssavA'r|vE Taxes IN 1914

Out of a total revenue of $531,000 the farmers paid

$47,430 ln Land and Road Taxes.

ln other words. under LIBERAL RULE the Farmers paid

$15.60 out of every $100 of Revenue.

UNDER CONSERVATIVE RULE the'Farme|-g Nw $530-

out of every $100 of Revenue. ` `

That is. under thc Mathicson Government, the farms;-_

PHYS Only one half of what he had to pay under the Liberal clique. The statistics show an absolute decrease ln di;-em, taxation of $11,220 in favor of the farmer, and a_ relative ‘lecrelme Of 6 4'5 D91' Cent. While the farmers' taxes were decreased $11,220 the revenue of the Province was ine;-gag. Cd 51551000 by increased Federal subsidies, secured by Pre. inier Mathicson, a more systematic collection ot' income tax and fees on incorporated companies,

In 1911, the late Liberal Government closed the fiscal

5.,-nr at Sept. 30. with a deficit of $41,800, and in the two succeeding months outstanding accounts to the amount of $105.86? WGN* Paid. leaving further liabilities still outstand. ill!-I of $15,000, making in ull a total deficit of $152509

This deplorable bankruptcy notwithstanding, the ypaglrgog

would have us believe that is the kind of Government me 1190019 ought to have!

In 1914 the Matliieson Government after spending $30 000

more on capital account than the late Government did ii 1911' $21300 0" “'31” SFHIHS. $7,343 on the Lowe aw dl $31,000 more on education, $8,000 more on public wail; ' closed its third financial year with an abaolute aur l B' 510-000. besides $11,250 invested in creosoted lumbgru. of' “Clem for *|16 Public works for the next three years' Bu _

_‘"5 5° °“l` d95P“¢¢h°3 llldlcate, the Italians have inet -with marked success lntbelr invasion or Adm-ia, so rar they have met with little real opposition ,nd may ara ipressiug in to the interior. Our deapatches yesterday stated that the Austrians were removing their law courts from at least one city that was being threatened.

,A military critic is quoted in an exchange as saying

that “the italian successes at the start indicate one of ‘two things: the Austrians and the Germans cannot spare ‘tho men in sulllcleqt-numbers to meot"'and to check the italian invasion of Austria, or else it ls a','trap." The Ge;-. 315115 Wd Austrians U0 bill-_8\'l_ll8 ihefllussian lines to the northeast and south east of Praemysl.Z Hordos of men are necessary in that movement.. Those men if withdrawn at

~t`liis time would undoubtedly mean'tlie sacrifice of the Ger- .man plan in Russia. Further than that their withdrawal at this critical moment might jeopardize the German and Austrian troops in the East. The Germans have in the last few days driven the Russians hard, but the Russians have thc faculty of getting together and tightening up their lines. Our despatches yesterday morning were seriously conflicting. the Germans and Austrians claiming such mark-

eissuccesses In the neighborhood of Przemysi that the fall of the fort into their' hands is imminent, although the Rus- sians claim to be ifndisturbed by the enemy's advance.

lf Germany is to succeed in this war lt is absolutely

necessary for her to crush Russia and lf yesterday's Ger- man despatches are to be relied on Russla‘s position ls not _very promising. However, she has the happy faculty of ‘gathering herself together after a reverse and she may reasonably be expected to keep Germany busy. if Prze- mysl falls into Austro-German hands it will certainly re- lease many soldiers to nieet. the Italian advance. Of the real condition in the northern section we know very little as the respective reports are directly contradictory.

As to the possibility of 9. German trap we read in the

earlier despatches of 800,000 men having been sent by the Germans and Austrians into Austria. Eight hundred thousand men would not be sufficient to cope with the Italians, who probably number 2,000,000 all trained men.

Furthermore the Italian army is splendidly equipped. It has an abundance of ani- munition and supplies of food and clothing. Italy is in ex- cellent condition financially. The government of Ger- many knows this and there is a strong suspicion that she has sent many more than 800,000 men to meet the Italians and that her method will be to endeavor to outflank them. However the fresh. well equipped Italian army should be trusted to meet any such 'attempt as that. Germany is fighting for one of two things, and she wlll'llght with equal vigor and fierceness for either of them. She is dlghtiiig, first of all. for victory.

F 0REST CONSERVATION

Tho iorcst products ol’ Canada ure worth 172 nilllioii

dollars every ycar.

No other crop compares with it in value. The wheat.

production is worth 50 mlllioii dollars a year less.

Yet the continuance and development of this enormous

harvest of trees does not conflict in any sense with the enlarging of the wheat or any other agricultural crop. ‘On the contrary, the preservation of the forests is‘tlie best guarantee of the fertility of the Canadian farm.

Forest Conservation has no quarrel with the reasonable

and patriotic luinberman. Correct methods of forest man- agement maltnaln and increase both the productiveness and the capital value of forest land and draw from it the best return il is capable of giving.

Forest conservation does not mean a “Hands Off"

sign on every area of trees. lt means care as opposed to carelessness, construction ns opposed to dcstruotion, good use as opposed to abuse. The conservatlonist is not a iaddist. He believes in cutting crops of trees with an eye to future as well as present profit. llc does not look .on s forest as a sliver mine, to be gouged out as fast as possible and abandoned as a waste. ` The Federal and Provincial Governments of Canada own 99 per cent. oi’ the forest lands. A very considerable ,part of thcso lands are under lease. but the ownership remains vested in the people. The situation in thc United States is a remarkable contrast. There, thc people possess a title to not more than one-fifth of their magnificent timber resources. Whatever policy ol' forest conservation the Canadian pcoplc choose to adopt will blanket 99 pci'_ cent. of the forest area of the country.

WON’T BE FORCED INTO A LOVE- LESS MARRIAGE

LYNN, Mass., May 31.-Miss Nettie

Ilaskcll, 20 ycar old ilnuglitcr ol` Mr. and Mrs. (`liai°lcs l<`_ llnskcll, of 1 Elmore street, who ran away from home last Tli\irsdn_v, thc day bet'orc she was to hnvc bceii innrricrl, ex- plained todziy that she ran nwny from home rather than llc forced into a loveless niarriagc.

The young woman was engaged to

Guy L. \\’arrl\vcll. of 15 Common street, \\'iilthain, and thc marriage was sclicdulcrl for Fririziy night. Sho liccanic icrriliotl as ihr- time ap- proaclicd, she szilfl. l><~<‘ii\isi- she ltiiew she did noi love \\\'ni'tlwt-ll and never could lore liiin, And thc reason she t‘oultIn't love liiiii ivus licruiisc she loved soinl-_oiic clse. ~ ‘

“I had bccn keeping coiiipaiiy with

John K. Sniith. son of ai Ilath. .\le.. luinbcr dealer, for sonic liinv, when my tolks nizidc inc give him tip and go with .\lr_ \\".irrlwcll." said the cx-

bride-lo-be. l tried hard to love hlni but I couldn't. so I went away. No, l will not marry him. if my folks won't let me have Mr. Smith-well, 1 won’t get married, that’s all.”

Wardwell has been in despair ever

lsince his tlnancee disappeared. He told lic had already furnished a home for lhcr in Billerica and that hc was will- liiig to marry her now if she would consent.

The young woman's parents refused

to discuss the case. Her grandfather, Jacob Scanks, who came from the National Soldiers' Home in Togus, lllc., to attend the wedding. said that .\liss Haskell would not have to marry Z\lr. Wardwell and that he would make n lionie for her if her parents insisted on the match.

Wardwell has been keeping com-

pany with the girl sliicc last January.
