"To my knowledge not one cent of F'ishermen's Loan Board money was used to buy voice in the 1091 election in the Third Ilatrlct of King’s, either directly or indirect- ly, regardless of what may have appeared in evidence befoiv the Supreme Court of this Province," declared I-Ion. Joseph G. Campbell, Third King's, in mealring last evening in the Budget debate.

“The circumstances," be main- tained. "ara well known to the poop] of my district, and I think ahoul be fairly well lmown‘to the junior member of Charlottetown." Mr. Campbell was going on to say that he was “surprised that the hon. rncmbe had brought the mat- ter up at this time" when Mr. D.i. Mathieson rose on a‘ question of privilbgc. He suggested that Mr. Campbell was infringing on a. mat- tor into which a judicial inquiry was to be made, and in any case he had no right to reflect upon

‘” member's mdtivea.

Mr. Campbell argued that the Commission had not yet been ap- pointed. and that it was permis- sible to discuss the matter in vial: of Mr. Mathiesonb motion made earlier in the session.

Mr. speaker said he had receiv- ed no notice of the proposed Com- mission being appointed. He would rule, however, that Mr. Campbell should "go no further."

Bold ‘Projects

Mr. Campbell said he was pleas- ed to learn that the Georgetown road is to be paved this year. This will be another slap in fulfilling the‘hope that eventually a. paved road will run rfam ‘Georgetown through Cardigan, Dundas, Bridge- town, Poplar Point, Annandale and Fortune Bridge. He would like to ace the Annsndals mad paved as quickly as possible.

Generally speaking. he said. the road programme in his district had been fairly satisfactory.

Methods of shipping. ha emphas- ized. have changed so that even secondary roads must now have a light coat of gravel to be service- able.

On the subject of draggcra, he said Nova scotia has seventeen or these boats. and New Brunswick about the same number. "Frnnkiy I do not think they are the real answer to our problem," he add- ed. "But the only way to find out is to get them."

He did not think agriculture was "in too bad a condition". notwith- standing the slump this year in the potato buaintss. He noted that at least as many potatoes have been shipped this year as last, notwith- standing the large remaining aur- plus. v

He was inclined to agree wizh the‘ leader of the opposition, that a limit be placed on the acreage of potatoes to be planted, in order

culators. . i said he could name quite a number of people who were continuing to make money in mixed farming. and this to the prsctlce he would recommend.

"It seems to me that we are go- ing into debt a little faster tutu we should," he continued. "Yet a one has mentioned any way in which we can out down sxpendit urea." He was inclined to agree with the lender ouths Opposition, that the only solution was to press our claims for more revenue st Ot- tawa.

It should be the principal duty

that industries are encouraged and developed, giving employment in greater numbers to the people of this Province, ,Mr. R. L. Burge, Conservative master for the Sec- cnd District of ,l£log‘s, argued forcefully in the Legislature yes- terday.

Speaking in the Budget debate, Mr. Bus-ge said the department should not be made the "dumping ground" for a lot of‘ other activi- ties, including , ’ as in com. petition with private enter-prbc. He referred in this ectlon to the M. V. Eskimo.

Premier Jones said that a point was made in eoiablishing the “Elshpo" that it would not inter-

it operated on an entirely‘ new route.

Mr. Burge said he differed will: the,‘ leader of the Government on this point. "Previous to last year we had a considerable trade out as Souris. ranging from ten tdxaix- toen boats each Fall and perhaps as many in the Spring, for the small ports around Newfoundland which we supplied for years," he said. "Last year we did not ship one dollar's worth of stuff out of Souris to New'found.land—sit least I didn't.”

Premier Jones: “Woulslinlt you blame that on the support price of potatoes, whereby Nova Scotla. which lsadn‘t idae support price, undersoid the Island , “toes‘i"

Mr. Burge: "Last Pall there was no support price; and potatom were not the only things we ship- ped out of Souris. We shipped volumes of other stuff, and last year we had no boats looking for tbess cargoes."

Continuing, be said he would be in favour of the Government giv- lng assistance and encouragement to the cold storage plants. but he did not believe in the Govern- ment going into this business on its own account.

In providing facilities for fish bait, the fishermen throughout the Province condemned th idea of having a ‘central plant in ar- loittfilown, instead of having hold- ing unlln established throughout the fishing areas.

Mountin_ Debt Charges

With the mounting public debt. and large spread between revenue and expenditure there-has been grave concern throughout the country, Mr. Burge said. The debt now is about $15,300,000 and the additional budgeted deficit will bring it to nearly $17,000,000 at the end of another year. He ask- ed the House to consider the fact that one-half the provincial rev- enue. apart from Federal contri- butions, is required to service the debt.

"How far can we go?" be asked. "I order know, but I claim that we are very close to the border- line."

The yardstick of solvency, Mr. Burge maintained. is the ability to pay. This depends on popula- tion, which has not kept pace with the Provinceis mounting indebted- nea. _We should now have half a million people. and there would then be no longer any need to go to Ottawa to argue subsidy claims on the basis of fiscal need.

A bright spot in the agricul- tural picture is the price for en. tie, Mr. Burge continued. The Government should do more to encourage cattle breeding by in- creasing to $5,000 the pr t grants of 81.000 to each of the important breeding organizations.

The Government should also as- sist new" breeders to establish themselves with their first sud second purchases. he suggested.

On the question of feed grains. Mr. Burge said he did not think it was practical to grow much more grain than Island farmers are producing at‘ present.

This year has been unprofitable‘ for growers and shippers of po- tatoes, but even so the cost of pro- ductlon is only one-third the total amount of money involved in this industry. The remaining two- thirds goes in wages, trucking and other expenditures. and is distri- buted widely throughout the Prov- ince. *1

Mr. Burge noted that a number of schools are still without quali- fied ‘eachera. The improvement. in rural schools in recent years it! attributed largely to the Women's Institutes. He hoped to sea the day when the least any child in this Province receives will be a high-school education.

Urges Caution

Noting'ihat the Government has decided to encourage experiments in the use of draggers, Mr. Bur-gs said it was necesss , on the one hand to insure that they do not do- piete the fishery, and on the other to-protsct the interests of the la- shore fishermen.

Hon. Mr. Cullen: "You think we are doing the right thing by trying thani. inbougb?" I W”

Charlottetown lost another well- kncwn and highly respected citizen yesterday in the death of James Daniel Jenkins, 12, at the P111160 Edward Island Hospital following an illness of several months.

one of the pioneers of the fox industry in this Province, he was born Dec. 7, 1877, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jenkins (nee Jesais Currie), Mt. Albion. The late Mr. Jenkins had a large ranch on the Mt. Edward Road from 1918 on and soon became known throughout the Province as an expert on fun. He started dealing in fun in 1910.

The deceased wu also widely known as manager‘ of the Royal Packing Company Limited, a busi- ness he. started some forty years ago and rapidly expanded. He was a Trustee of the Baptist Church and always keenly interested in the work and welfare of young people. He was one of the first participants in Y.M.C.A, work here, and was a charter member of the Y's Men's Club. He was also known as an ardent sports- man.

Bcsides his widow, the former Blanche Fraser of Kingston, he is survived by two sons, Cecil and Ralph and two daughters, Eula, Mrs. I-Iarold Saunders and Thelma. Mrs. Freeman Eddy. All are resi- dents of the city except the eldest son, Cecil, who is a resident of Vancouver. All members of the family were home at the time of Mr. Jenkins’ death,

Also surviving are five sisters. eight brothers, six grandchildren and one great grandchild.

"In 1049 the Premier said there was an over-expenditure in my department of .000. I contrad- icted him ouoo t year and twice in 1040. one occasion being on a question of privilege.
