APT" ' 16th. l m. Wright (4th Prince) stated limit the opposition was unable to r criticize the government 0n ll-B 5X00“- dituro because, although it budgeted fora deficit of $15,000.00. it only h"! ’a deficit o! $1500.00 last year. So they ‘were forced to criiicize it because these was no external audit. He quoted statistics to confute 09110111 points raised in this connection by Conservative speakers. 6x91010108 that the things they called attention =to were merely tyvosuulhicel 6W0"- ‘This should restore their confidence 'ln their auditor, who was apiwilll" ed by the Conservatives. He thought they were only trying ".0 sow mistrust of the government so that they might be able to Bill" lvutes throughout the country. i l-le then referred to a surplus 0f $70,000.00 which. he stated, Mr. ,Stewart was reporied as having said he left in the treasury in The Gllar‘ dlan newspaper oi’ last year. He was ~ glad that the arguments advanced on that side of the house were hav- ing effect on them. i _ iMr. Stewart took issue with the contention that he had claimed 070,- 100000 surplus. l "Well. at any rate he claimed he had a surplus" said Mr. Wright. H1‘ went on lo ill“? an illustration of ‘what he believed the Conservatives _ 'mea.nt by a surplus. When they went out of power on 'August i2. 1921, they had left only $151,000.00 odd for the Liberals to spend. ‘fl-iey had spent at the rate cf $04,000.00 during their part in: the year." leaving only 832,- 000.00 per month for the Liberals to ‘spend. The Liberals saved the coun- try a sum of 854,000.00. The Conser- ivative contentions were only propa- ganda to catch votes. ‘ He scored the junior member for_ ‘Charlottetown for saying that two members of the government had beQn seen coming out of a rum shop, say- -lng it was a sad day for the province when public men could stoop so low as to make such statements. Taxes and Salaries With regard to their plank in the Liberal platform advocating a reduc- tion in taxes, he said it tvas a very different thing for a party to promise a, reduction in taxation, and then gel. ilnto power, and realizing the. needs of the country fall to take them off. ~He scored the Conservatives for tak- ing off the Bell Ocverllirventis. 3X85. on, the demands of the teachers could have been met. As to the threat of strike. the teachers did not have their way i" the matter. He traced the history of the strike at some length. Theuni- verslil opinion oi’ the members of the house was that the teachers demands should not be met. He claimed that the Commission was the govern- ment's; an increase in pay was flat- ly refused. Even were \ve to have an increase in subsidy, an increase in salary such as they demand should not be met. .He contcndeilthat it would not improve the Educational system unless salaries three times as [high were paid out so as to keep them in the profession. He felt that Ithts was ‘quite impl-aczical, Salaries ‘or teachers now average $523.00. If they teach only five or six pupils you have a cost per caplta entirely outside the poyvers of this province. ll‘ higher salaries are to he paid, there cannot be so many teachers hired. 1 He held that 75 per cent of the fteachers were not going to strike; they were going back to" work. The leaders realized this. and knew that public opinion was not behind them. 'I'he government did not back down one iota, he said ,'it was the tench- ers who backed down. The teachers were entitled to credit for realizing that their contracts with the trustees wsresomothing more than scraps of Mr. Wright then went on to crlil- ciu the Conservatives for failure to collect taxes while in power, also for not properly enforcing the motor ve- hicle law. only one conviction being made under that act while the Stew- art Government was in power. Under the Liberals. every drunken driver ‘ported had his license cancelled. Hollibftion rlr. Wright. claimed that the 0on- k crvativcs let far too manyneonvieted ioifenders against the prohibition act gout of Jail before their time 1m up. l-le had a whole sheet full of such names. The prisoners were not. being released at the present time. Dr. Mlclllllan, "You dotft even put them in." ~. The speaker made the rather brood claim that thmproscnt government ‘was enrol-cm; tho prohibition rm. better than any government ‘Ivor bad. ‘I-‘boy had earrledout alltlliir promises. Ila wont co w speak of Ibo r‘- Commission. n therefore the set was not perfectly enforced. tho responsi- bility Wig with the Commission; not the government. Mr. Wright claimed that the “po- liticians” a certain clmyman refer- red to were those who nearly broke up the Temperance Alliance to go back to their own party. Agriculture’ The speaker next paid I. high tri- bute of praise to l-lon. W. M. Lea. and said that under the former min- ister of Agriculture thlnls were Just allowed to drift. l-le went on to enu- merate some of the things Mr. Lea bad done. For one thing he had put the falconwood farm on a paying basis. He did away with the scrub stock. and-put on a hard of pun bred Holstein’ cattle. Ha quoiAd Ita- tlstlcs in support of his contention. saying that the profit‘ on the farm last your had been 85000.00. At the present time there was a hard of b5 cows, 30 of them producing milk. Last fall one of the heifers niud on the farm was reserve champion at Toronto. and was sold to an Ontario man for $500.00. Last year, too. the production of butter and cheese was higher than ever-due largely. to pure bud stock distributed through the province by the work of the Minister of Agricul- ture. The high price of bacon, Also he attributed to the pure bred York- shire; established at Falconwood Ianrl bl‘ Mr. Lea. He felt that the report oi the Department of Agriculture was so well got up with photos, ctc.. that it might serve to advertise the prov- illce. MT- Wflsht went on to quote sta- tistics from the report re. our increas- ed agricultural production. 11105:, he claimed. showed that. potato growing had norlniurad the prov- lnce. 1n fact, our acreage in potatoes might still be increased without dam- age. He went on to give a short history oi horse breeding in the province. The present Minister had establish- ed an enrollment system. When the Liberal party wont out of power in i923. the ' Stewart Government ne- glected this system, and sold lama of the blooded stock outside the pro- vince. They should be ashamed m lock a horse in the face, lot alone ask this government. what is being done for horse-breeding. But the 141111810! of Agriculture on his return to of- ficc restored the enrollment plan. Mr. wright then dealt with cer- tuin other criticisms by Opposition members of the Agricultural depart- ment, going into the matters in de- tail. He then mentioned that the Minis- tram the Federal Dtplftlhfllt uni a live stock promoter would shortly be available. Public Works Mr. wright warmly commanded the Minister of Public works on the result of his new road policy. (At 10.20 Mr. Wright adjourned the debate. and the House adjourn- ed until l0 a. m.)
