What the leader of the Opposition says in regard to the central fslr has been given every consideration. but we have been laced with the fact that the fair that is held here, wNle a large fair, is not patronized as it should be by the other sections d the Province.

Mr. H. H. Cox said Prince Coun- ty always had s “grudge" against Kings County. It “kills" them to see Kings get a little more than they are getting. He remembered that there had been a shortage of hay in Kings County at one time, and the farmers in that section tried to purchase some from Prince county. ‘They soaked us to the ul- most,” added Mr. Cox amid laugh- ter. “While I agree with the Prince County members in regard to poi-

Mr. lea: ‘That was enough."

CtIssnrv-stlvea Paid It!

w. Campbell ssld that when he a candidate for the First District of Prince, one of the first representations made to him by the Alberton Association was on this point. He took the matter up with the then Pff"’“”‘l‘, now leader 0f the Opposii 1 While the Lea Government was still in power it was definitely confirmed that the exhibition at Summerside was not goingtotakeupmshsreof the sl- location, and for that, reason the Lea Government decided that $250 o! that allocation which was in- tended for" the Bummerside associ- ation would be transferred to the West Prince Association. An order- in-councll had been passed to that effect. Premier MscMillsn: “I have just to repeat what I said. You prom- ised it, and IQ paid it."

OIIGMOINII

Mir. IePage said he was disap- pointed that something has not been done to assist the farmer. We have all kinds of bills but with the exception of one little amendment to tbs Dog Act there was nothing for the farmer. He had already suggested the lowering of the ln- terest on mortgages to 5 per cent. There are over two billion dollars in the banks of Canada. and the Government should use its influ- ence to have hank iriteicst rates reduced.

The Chairman asked the hon. member to speak in the items un- der discussion.

Mr. LePage maintained he was speaking on “Miscellsneoufl items. He again proceeded to discuss in- terest rstu.

The Chairman informed the hon. member he was out of order.

Mr. LePage said Canada ccn- sumes 95 per cent of her beef pro- duction. Ie should be easy for the Minister of Agriculture in coop- eration with the other Provinces ‘to control the price to allow farmers sufficient to pay for their produc- tion of beef cattle. The packers ap- peared to be controlling the situ- ation. He did not think we should be pamlng laws solely for the bene- fit of the Law Society.

Mr. Cox cited the case of a man who was unable to raise 82,200 on a worth $6.000 today, which was threatened with fore- closure. Why should not the Gov- ernment siep in and see that this man got money at, ssy, six per cent interest when the security was there? He believed agricultural conditions are improving, and but for the back bills that the farmers owe they would be in good circum- stances.

A Member: “Ieave it to Bennett; he will lead the people out." (Ap- plsusel.

Mr. Cox maintained that Premier Bennett hind "fooled the people."

Cites Tax Payments

m. Allen cited the taxes, exclus- ive of income tax, paid in each of the Countim in 1933: namely, Queens, $89,435.73: Prince, $40,- NIQQ: Kings, 819,416.34. Kings County paid lass than one-half of the amount paid by Prince. On that. basis, he contended. Prince County was entitled to 84.000 in ex- hibition gra-nts, as compared with the 82,00.) in grants received by King's. l-ls also quoted from a speech by Sir Henry Draytcn at Ipronto on March s, to the effect that Provincial Governments should abandon their Departments of Ag- riculture and allow the Dominion Goverrnnent to administer control. An amendment to the tish North America Act would be cea- lll’! to make this change, but it was something worth considering.

Mr. Dennis emphasized the ad- vantage 0f the QXlLiDAtlOIIS at Al- borton. As for Kings County re- ceiving grunts of $2,000 while Prince County only received $1,150, it was well known that they had “an awful lot of poor land" in Kins! County on which something grew which the people down there, for a long time, thought was a weed. ThPy didn't discover the dlf- ference, but a man from Ottawa cams down and told them they had ground 00p and it turned out to be valuable for seeding lawns.

Mr. Cox: "There is none of it up

"We grow more in Prince County in a year than they grew in Kings County since the War." (Increased laughter“

Continuing, Mr. Dennis com- plained that if members discuss anything "savouring of agricul- ture" they are ruled out of order. Ha wondered if the Department is serving the country as it should. A year or two ago at a farm meet- ing in Charlottetown there was a unanimous resolution adopted ask- ing the Government to pass legis- lation that would restrict the clos- ing of mortgages on farms. Did the Government make any move in that matter? It was, he said, not even brought before the House. "Our Governments-I am not going to say this Government; I will make it general to some extent- have got so used to ignoring the requests of the farmers that they pay littls attention to what they want,” he declared. There was an agricultural committee of the house, but it had not. been called together. Under those conditions was the Department worthy of the confidence of the people to s suffi- cient extent to vote these approp- yistlons? He had observed a useful letter in the paper regarding the warble fly. Why did not the De- psrtmem get after this matter. Whs there no initiative’! he asked.

Before mn- isters of the Crown had free rat!- way pamcs. and when therrwere no car-s, they had to keep risin- ute account of yearly travellinggex- penses, and it was a soinoa (pn- rioyarice to the Mlnistaa as we] ll to the Government. ‘they had therefore decided to make it aft!- cd amount.

Mr. J. A. Campbell (Liberal, Fourth Kings) said he was afraid there was going to be a "lflmlly quarrel." He had no Oblficilfln w them holding an exhibition in Summerside, but they did not seem m be very dncere when they tried to take part of the grant away from Kings County. The member from Fifth Prince (Mr. Allen) had been trying to “throw a little dust." 1n the gyds of the committee. A few years ago the leader of the opposition. then Premier (Mr. W. M. Ives) was not in any 8180i Sym- pathy with County exhibitions. He advocated a change. But what. was the outcome? A strong delegation from Kings County waited on him. "And I want t0 say," added Mr. Campbell. “ln fairness to all con- cerned, that. the leader at that time had to change his mind. I must take objection to Prince County people coming hore and trying to steal a part of the grant that was. given to Kings County M. that time.‘

Mr. Allen: "lt. was not the idea to steal anything {rm-n Kingsi County."
