Little has been heard of this pledge during the four years of the Liberal regime. The only reference made to it in the Legislature was in 1937, when the following question was placed

Those Travelling Expenses

We all remember the famous Plank No. ‘3‘0f the Liberal election platform of 1935'. “Abolition of the present extravagant system of furnishing Ministers and officials with motor cars.”

This plank was elaborated on_in the Liberal Manifesto to the following effect: “Without of the sys- ‘ tent of furnishing ministers and officials with government motor cars, gasoline, oil and rc- pnirs, the Liberal party feels that this system has been so extravagautly misused by the pre- sent (ioveritm-riit and has so grown out of pro- ‘ portions that the people of this Province de-

In support of this request he affirmed that he had received a mandate from the peo- ple of Quebec not only to administer the affairs of the Province, but also to investigate and make full disclosure with respect to the conduct of ‘former Liberal regimes. Although Mr. Duplcssis succeeded in obtaining the authority he asked for, it was not until a bitter verbal battle had taken place in the House. The leader of the Lib- eral Opposition. T. D. Bouchard, and other Lib- eral members of the House, while professing t0 be as anxious as the Prime Minister to see a complete investigation take place, argued that such an enquiry could not be conducted fairly by politicians, and suggested in the alternative that the matters in question be referred to a Royal Commission of Supreme Court judges. It was further claimed by the Opposition nicm- bers that such an investigation before a com- mittee of the Legeislature was contrary to the rules of the House and therefore illegal.

In the end the chairman of the Committee ruled iii favor of the Premier and gave him full authority to carry the enquiry on along the lines it ltad followed in the first two sessions of the Legislature.

Additional subsidy from Ottawa according to our fiscal need is still a main plank of Con- servative policy. The Liberals prefer to add to our taxation and increase our debt.

D0 you recall when Liberal heelers were alleged by one of their number to have got “trench feet” drawing pay on the Provincial building repairs? Is it any wonder the public debt mounted up? e a _

Previous legislation, which was abolished by the present provincial Government, called for raiding parties to bring to court all persons on premises where liquor was sold illegally. The fine was then $1 and costs with the option of one day in prison. Three weeks ago, in view of the sudden growth of "blind pigs," the Government brought the sec- tion bnck into effect and rinsed the amount of the minimum fine.
