“This Legislature." the Premier declared, "was elected with the clear-cut mandate‘ to provide o. balanced budget. Whether that can be accomplished in one year o: not is a. matter which will test the abil- ity of this whole House to deter- mine. We have been given that mandate and we must tackle it fearlessly.

Electors "Short-minded"

"Unfortunately in some respects. perhaps, the electors of this Prov- ince are short-minded. They elect you, and they say: ‘You must bal- ance the budget, and if you don't balance the budget we will put you out of office in four years‘ time.’ But no sooner is the Nl/Qmmmi in office, no sooner are we given control of the finances of the Province, than we an presented

,with demands and requests from

practically every portion of the country, for increased expenditures. -for new projects oi one kind or another.

"Now, w. Speaker, them is-us

-only one ausw in Nqueslu of that kind: that the people c1 this Province are entitled to just that amount of public services. and to lust that amount of expenditure o! public money. which they are will- ing to pay for.

"There are two sides to every do- nrancl for expenditure. Those who make demands and requests for continued or increased expenditure on the port of the Government should realise, and must realise. that the proposition which they place before the Government in- volves really two propositions. if u delegation comes to the Govern- ment, and asks for so expenditure, say, of 0100.000 on this protect or that. their request resolves itself logically into two requests-expend- iture of 0100.000 on one mcloot. 1M in the second Place,

INDIRECT TAXES ANTICIPATED

Among other proposals consid- cred, said the Premier, was the power of imposing retail sales tax- es, which up to the present has been confined to the Dominion. "I also understand that as s result of the deliberations of that sub- conference, the DOmiIIIOH Giwfm- ment has expressed its willingness to collect the provincial income tax of any province on certalrl. terms and conditions. Whether these suggested measures are sufficiently far advanced for us to proceed on them, or not, is s question which will, g-equlro a good deal of deliber- stion and consideration; but we feel that ultimately the outcome oi this conference and oi the sub— conferences oi Provincial treasur- erg, which I understand will meet from time to time, will be that the governments of the various Prov- inces will find memselvcs in s. po- sition to derive substantial new revenue from taxation and other sources without having to resort to additional direct or lirvberty iAX- ation."

CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM

"It lug been proclaimed,” the Premier continued, “that there has beensneifortouthevlflolil" Dominion Government to force upon the provinces the scrapping

of the British North America Act.
