Accounts Badly Muddled

A careful perusal of the Public Accounts shows a very much worse rondltion than at first appeared. Indeed, thoy are so hopelessly in- valved that it is exceedingly diffi- cult to arrive at any proper estim- ate of the correct financial niflla- tion of the Province.

Dealing first with ilhe Revenue side of the account, we note that the Gasoline Tax account is shown as having provided $141,039.30, whereas. as a matter of fact, after adding provision for Rebates, 1920. 817,000 to

But he also de- clared that he would have the gen- eral tariif dependent upon the price level and therefore disappear alto- gether when the price index again reached an appropriate level. In his view the historic and sound objection to tariffs was that no one had the intelligence or pluck to take them ofl at the right time but this might be overcome if they were made dependent upon the very change in the price level which had made them necessary. He would meet the tarifl adjustment temptation by keeping the duty general and uniform and
