liENliliNtES EXURBITANT TRlitii RATES

Legislature Urged To “Take Action” By Mover Of Draft Address.

Strong objection to tho mo- hibitlve truck rates on the Bor- den-‘Iiormentlno car ferry and to the proposal to retain these rates on the new Wood Islands ferry service was taken in the Legis- lature yesterday by Mr. Horace Wright, Fourth District of Prince, in moving the draft address in reply to the Speech from the Throne.

"The Prince Edward Island farmer had been led to believe that the proposed car-ferry ser- vice between Wood Islands and Caribou would bring increased

Cape Breton and at the same time would make it possible to bring back a load of Cape Breton coal," Ml‘. Wright declared. "Now we hear that the same rates on truclu are to be charged on the proposed service as are being charged on the Borden-Tormen. tine ferry. 1f that be true then the proposed service between Wood

Islands and Cariboo will not be one particle of benefit to Prince Edward Island farmers.

“The rates." Mr. Wright in- sisted, “are absolutely prohibitive. Why should the farmers be pen- in thlswoy? We have a reasonable rate for" auto- mdbila-QZOO for a. single fare or $3.00 return fare. Why multiply that rate by 10 or more when it comes to transporting a truck? It looks like a direct blow to the farmer's interests, and I feel that this Legislature should take some action in that matter and not rest until this injustice to the Prince Edward Island farmer is removed."

the framework of Confederation. l Mr. Wright commended the new Cenadall. S. trade agreement as one in which the reduced tariffs b would benefit Canadian farm pro- duction. This was certainly true icr this Province, in all cases where the increased volume of exports is not sufficiently large to lower the United States markets. In cases where Canada will export to the United States products in sufficient quantities to lower the market in that. country. the Am- erican consumer will benefit to that extent, "but that," he added. "is not true of any item mention- ed except furs and even on that item I think the Canadian pro-

vducer will benefit to a certain ex-

tent."

In the case of pctatoes, he be- lieved the additional exports into the States would not lower the price to the American consumer and the Prince Edward Island producer would benefit to the full amount of the duty.

He believed that by encouraging Island farmers to grow more po- tatoes, with proper farm man- agement. there can also be a. larger

“Why," the speaker asked. "should the farmer llvlng in the vicinity cf Borden be taxed on every ‘truckload of produce which he has to sell an amount of about sao. over what the farmer in Tor- mentine-only nine miles away- hes to pay. That sac would be e.

production along these lines. Removal of the trade barriers between ‘United States and Great Britain was also. he said. a. mat- ter for gratification. He commended the Minister of Agriculture (Hon. Mr. Dennis) on
