Mr. Acorn presented l. petition of tho lidttyor and Councillors of thetownofSourisfwa-naotto amend the Sour-ls Incorporation Act, i010. A bill in accordance with the petition was received and

After moses:

The House met at 3.25 p. m. with Deputy Speaker Horace Wright in the chair.

Hon. Mir. McIntyre tabled the re- port of the Department of Public Works and Highways.

0n motion of the Premier the House resumed committee, with Mr. Stewart in the chair, on the 1n- come Tax Act.

The bill, in accordance with Do- minion regulations, provides for payment of income taxes on April 30 of each year or by monthly in- stallments extending over a period of four months and bearing interest at i per cent.

The Premier moved, as an

amendment, the proviso that in re- spect of the 1937 taxation period only. a tastpayer may by notice to the Commissioner of Income Tax fyled with his returns, defer the date of payment until Oct. 31, 1988, without incurring interest charges or penalties. This was agreed; to.

The incidence of the tell burden and the clauses dealing with offen- ces and penalties were discussed at some ‘length.

‘Thou will be en additional bur- den on those who have not been disclosing the whole of their in- come during the past fourtoeui years. Premier Campbell conceded in reply to questions.

The bill was reported agreed to

Personal Property

the House went ttee with MnMustardi-ntvheoheiron an act to assess. levy end oollcct taxes on personal property and certain companies.

The promoter explained that special corporation taxes will re- msin in the iai “cotton field and are included h this cot insteadofinthslxicomeTexAct under which collections will made by the Dominion Department. The "Personal Property" defin- ition in the bl.l includes “fur-beer- ing animals end the skins thereof." General disc “ -- followed es to fairest method of taxing silver fox-

es. Hon. Mr. Allen said the present 26 cents to: on adult foxes wee un- fair. A bead tea levied on ell off- sprmg would be better. This view was indoned by Mr. Barbour, Mr. Baker and others. , m. Baker maintained that the time had come for the Legislature to recognise fur bearing animals, especially foxes, as livestock and not personal property. He pleaded the difficult condition of the fox 111C125“? and the need of taxation re. f. Premier Campbell said the indus- tryhad been assisted by the gov- ernment's action in appointine a fox field msn. lo view o! the pres- ent conditions the government was not seeking to obtain increased m- enus from tho industry on this ac- count, but it could not afford to reduce the taxation. He moved that the section carry on the index-standing that its resu- ietion would be taken under - visement by the special coininl

on agriculture. . ‘Ibis was agreed to eftcr further objection by m. Baker.

At 6 p. in. progress was reported and the House took recess.

Claim that th land owners in th: ational Park area still itloning for right of appeal oo d get from the bell Government "a better sette- ment than they could get from any: Judge or Court in this coun- try was advanced in the Legis- lature last night by Hon. B. W. lcPage, president of the Executive Céituncll, in speaking on the Bud- g .

Mr. LePage coupled this invita- tion with the statement that these P001318 had been "used white" and that if they continued tcfight they would be "no better off in the end" and might "possibly be moved."

In flat contradiction to his Gov- ernment colleague Hon. J. P. Mc- Intyreb recent statement thmt this Province is being "shamefully" treated at Ottawa, Mr. LePage in- sisted that ws are getting "our fair shame" of relief.

Mr. LaPage revealed that he re- ceived G900, plus $205 travelling expenses, as chairman of the Fish- ermerrs Loan Board in the post mo years; that in the some r- iod Mr. H. H. Acorn had rece ved $500 plus $1286 travelling expenses and Mr. Aeneas Gallant $300 plus $38’! travelling expenses. Heclaim- ed they we're all worth more than may got for their see-vices.

He was followed in the debate by Hon. J. P. McIntyre, Minister of Public Works, who concluded shortly before 11 o'clock, l‘ again proving that the Province fwd been unfairly treated in fed- eral relief allowance. Mir. Sav- ille moved the adjournment, and the House adjoiulnod until 3 pm. today

Mr. LcPage indignant

He was indignant. Mr. LePage said, at the criticism and "mean insinuations" in The Guardian with reference to the administrative expenses of the Fishermen! Loan Board, of which he is chairman. are expenses amounted to about .000. In New Brunswick and Nova Scotia they allow the Board 7 per cent for administration, and in this Province it works out to s cost of less than 5 per cent of the $114,000 expended

He said that notwithstanding the insinuations about the President of the Council believing in filling his own pocket. he did not owe e dollar or cheated‘ anybody out o! anlylthtrg.

r. Acorn in bwo years received $500, plus $1285 travelling acpenses es “field man" of the Board, Mr. LePage said.

Mr. Gallant received in two years $300, plus $387 expenses.

and I am working not only on the Fisherman's Loan Board but I have got to look after practically half‘ the people that come into the building, and I am getting the handsome salary of $50 per month or $600 per year for doing this work."

Altogether for the two years. he said. he got $900, plus travellin

expanses of $205,—"lust a hundre

dollars a year to do a lot of trav- elling around, but I just get the eight cents per mile the some as anyone else."

It was a shame, he thought. that good citizens lied to be sculidaliz- ed by having insinuations unfit at them on matters of this kind. "Not one of us got more than “as justly due and they didn't get paid for their work".

National Park

stressing the benefits of the National Park as a menus of iii- tracting toiirLsts. Mr. LcPsge said the Dominion Government spent $80,000 on this project up to the present and this year he under- stood they were going to spend a larger amount. There had been considerable talk about the mah- ner of settlement, but 78 out of D3 oases have been settled. with ev- eryone "perfectly satisfied" while six of the ten cases still open are in the of settlement. “There are only three or four who think that they have notbesh used right, and they certainly have used. white, whether they think so or not." he declared.

what it used to give when the na- tional highway was being built,but on locking up the Accounts for the last two years he found that we received about $440,000 from the Dominion Government outside of our subsidy. l» ~~'

"I don't think that anybody can say the Dominion has not used this Province fairly well during the rust two he said. " om- pared with other provinces I think we are ting our share." He understoc the Dominion Govern- ment was starting pzojects of their own and we would probably get our share of those as well.

Opening Remarks

Resuming the debate last even- ing, Mr. LePhge first paid tribute to the Late Hon. George E. Hughes. Hon. G. S. Inlman and Mr. A. J.

evln. He complimented the Deputy Speaker (Mir. Wright) upon filling the position “with dignity and honour."

The Premier's budget speech, thought, would be lead with great appreciation throughout the Prov- nce.

He spoke at some length on his visit to the Old Country during the Coronation ceremonies, to the gatherings he attended and the celebrities he met as representat- ive od’ the P. E. I. Government, al- so of his impressions on visiting the battlefields and war cemeteries at Vimy Ridge.

In the British House of Com- mons, he noted, they were not so given to oratory as in Canadian parliaments but they read speeches for the most part, that was why there was their d

He also noted the gr of questions asked in Commons and the expedition and completeness with which every question was answered.

He acclaimed the institution of free speech in as “the real bulwark of Democracy".

Leadina up to his statement on the fishes-men's Loan Board he computed that about one-fifth of our population is made up of fish- ermen and their families, that their average budget for a family of five is about $273 a year and that only about fif-ty par cent are earning a fair livelihood. The remainder are merely existing, and their present condition is bad ' S

owing to ila-llin off in catch and poor prices. “We should list several thousand of our fishermen as unemployed," he said. “Proboibly the reason we did not get more assistance for relief was that we did not list these fishermen as luiempl ~" Last year's federal contribution to the Fdshermenb Loan Board was $50,000, and the Province contrib- uted an additional $25000- In tho previous year the $25,000 181181111 contribution had to be supplement- ed by an e ual amount from the Province. p to last year $90,800 was distributed ‘in loans. During the latter part of lest season some groceries were distributed with federal approval. Ten large fish buildings had been built and equip- ed. at a cost to the Province of 51,000 including administrative costs of $5,105. The building will remain as an asset to the Prov- ince. There was practical ass/ur- ance of s further grant this year on the same basis. and perhaps for a larger amount. It is the in- tcntion to supply the fishermen with equipment only. Several more flsli buildings will be erected, and eventually it is hoped to establish ltlggmlndustry on a self sustaining

Hon. J. P. McIntyre

Hearing Mr. LePageh detailed remarks on his Coronation trip Mr. McIntyre said he came to the conclusion that the hon. member did not indulge in what the people “over there" are accustomed to, or he would never have remembered his experiences so well.

Mr. McIntyre commended the fishermerfs loans as a godsend during the hard winter‘.

He euioglzed the benefits of hand surface roads.

A member of the House had said the Conservatives had built sixity miles of such roads but that was not correct-they only undertook the work.

For patrol purposes the trans- Canada. highway has been divided into two sections. and this system of msigtenance had worked satis- factorily. Unfortunately, said Mr. McIntyre. the highway had been improperly constructed ss the sub- grading was done the some year as the paving. a method of which he disapproved. and which he said would make the road break up in places.

Still Unconvinced

Mr. McIntyre said the Dominion Government had done well income things. "in the subsidy we ere get- ting. for ewrvole." but he could not agree with Mr. LePags that we were get our feir share of direct relief. had been con- gratiilatcd s/t Ottawa on account of the Province not needing so much relief as other provinces. Th ‘ a better arrangement hed been made to take cars of the winter months. but this e mant should be continued. He cl again official comparative figures of relief payments to all the prov- lnces over the period i904 to i987, showing this Province to be got- tixiacnlymcents per cspita. e ra-te much lower than elsewhere.

$400,000 alone." Mr. McIntyre cited estimatssend expenditures in his department for the Conservative years 1932-86, claiming the excen of the latter over the estimates to be 0408900,! whereas in the lest trwo yearscom-l biped he was within his estimates P $2.000 on ordinary eifie ‘““ e. ‘ et our friends say we ave been elotravagant," he declared.

The Conservatives. he said, had increased the liabilities in four years by $1,876,000. All that was really chargeable to the present Government was“foin' or five hun- drcd thousand dollars". The ex- penditures in repairing the Prov- incial Building “should really be chargeable to the Conservatives" because they had. started the work. In 1965 Hernia: MacMillan had budgeted for e surplus of $37,317 and “Mienmtgite ear wound up
