MR. Iii-}l.l.: ()h.--~-..... 'l‘lII-I i‘llhiMlI~}It: 'l`lio lion. geri- _tloriiau iiinde the statenicrit that there was an iricrease oi' $400 and he sr.-iit ii. broad:-iist. through the proviii<~c. iii' course, ‘.50 tents on $100 would work out. on $‘_'0.000 to only $40. ilut we are not dealing with ii geutleniari who is liable to make unintentional cr- mrs. We ar'o dealing' with a gentle- lnari who puts hi self forward as ii lin:iiicici° of the ,ery liiglie.-it. stand- ing. A y'c-ar ago he made the cclioes ot' this llousc ring for hours over thc iiorrihir-, fate that would overtake this country iiriicss he could go on the l‘uhlic Accounts (iommitteo, and yet the iie:ii~cst. lie can ge, in his state- niciit. oi' fact |`roru the iiiiererice of fit-titres. is to have it. ten tiino_-i too niuch . That gi\'es‘ a pretty good key to thc- value of the hon. gentlenian's stnteiiients clean through. I don't think that I uni ovf.rs~taiiiig the mat- ter, or uiid'ci'st.atiiig it, when I sity that in i'<-giird to this statemeiit oi' his :ind this pa!-iialilo error ot` his. tio lt: no further out than hr-,is in every siateriiciit. r'c-garilliig facts and figures which he has put liefore this llouso in his last. spec(-lt. I will go fiirther and say this: that evcu coin- ing down to the $40 which he should have stated in the first iristniice, there is not one single di‘:4t.rict. in"all the di:-:triets he reprcseitts. in which there luis been an iiicrcase of $40. REGFIETTABLE CONDUCT It is unfortunate that in this time. when the energies of all should he exerted in dealing with matters oi' the griivest lniportance, that oui' time should be- frlttered away and oui' hours wasted by dealing with false and pernicious statements such as these. This is all aimed at what cause and with what purpose? ~ it is aimed at every effort tho Gov- eriiiiient is making to do its duty in raizdng the iieccssary taxes to meet the expenses of this' war period: He- builds his rotten foundation and then' erects on that a i'abric of slander and falsehood and wonders why it should |'ail. Thr-n he barks hack to the fox tax. I will tell you, Mr. Speaker, tak- ing ilie taxes general-ly. they were paid/ in my experience, as in the year people are paying more promptly than ever; and' always I ask why, and the answer' is invariably, tiiat the people seem anxious to pay them so as to pay the war tax. The people ef this Liberals and Conservatives when it coiiiiis to a questioii of loyalty. There is no distiiiguislilng mark upon our pcrpli- iii that regard; not the' slight.- civ. and wlien thc lion. Leader of the t`.-_ii-msltiori rises in his place and pro- Tf'-==es to speak for the Liberal Party iii the narrow and sectional views. that he takes,-in the narrow and unpatg rlntic views he takes. he -is not speak- ing for tho party he professes _to lead. I have not heard from a single col- lector that, iii rcgs.r'tl to the prompt- ness and willingness to pay taxes, it ipade any ditiereiice which party a iiian belonged io. There _has been not. ii sound oi' such a thing. We were throateiided lin August last. that, by rr-.isoii of this war tax, the people would be stirred to revolt, and the lion. Louder of the Oppos'ltlon endea- voured to stir up the Deoplc- by every uioans ‘lie could devise, brit he failed utterly, and lic _slioulil‘ recognise that failure now and become. ioytal. in the payment. oi' taxes the-ro has been a prompt. response except. here and there. llelilnd the scenes. in a few_ places we found there was sonic- in- fluence. some sinister iuiiuf-nce nt work. People witiioirt ony rensoii were refusing to pay their taxes, and when the time value and prcssiire was grouglit. to bent' on then) and the cause oi’ their opposition and their rc-t'usnl and delay was unveiled, the Leader or the Opposition was found to be iiio ndvlser in ne-iiri_v' every case. Ile iiiadc a i-itiitcnirfiit. in regard to I.c'wis'. of Alberion, which you will under- stand. Mr. Speaks-i~. is not according to the recoril. Lewis is ii. woait-hy man luit. be would noi. pay his taxes. ire ` would not ae anv~ thing. lie would not. explain, and as the year drew to ri close and we were endeavouring to settle our accounts we began to deal with the few shlrk-_ ers that remained rand he was sued. A writ was issued ngeilllsl- N111 Call 0f, the- Supreme ('ourt and he Came i0 Charlottetown, and for what cause I dmm know, went and paid his taxes like ii man. THE MAN TO BLAME. s are members in this House that man said and upon whom he put could not dispute values; he could not dispute his legal liability. and WHO" his ovcs were opened he went and pmt 'hu in like s man- But he mm why he had not paid it before. and instead of the responsibility resting upon the Government or upon any gther person in resllfd to the exD€l\° ses that than man incurred, the bur- dnh and respoflsihfiity lie ' upon the* mm who advised him to try and shirq pp; duty. ity/as bad advca, and one thing is to bo iisid for Lewis, he was PI tion? It is s shame to have tc- t`ol- low such things; _but to show you, i\Ii'. Speaker,-for it. will have to bo shown and shown plainly .to tho people oi the i>r:~iirilry,~to show you. what a strange view the lion. geiitleinuii Lakes of iriitli and i'ectli.iiile, let nie take this otliersintemciit. ` lie says the Government had cn- gaged two fiounsels ou a case. It is ai sin-ill ihirig, but it is not. true. lie says the Government had Mr. Martin erigageil. Mr. Martin is an excl-lleiit lawyer, und ii' it were iiecessai'y I would coiisiilr-r liiiti it very proper per- son to engage.. it is not. true, Iiow- ever. Now. I reniernber in 1804, that was about the time the lion. Leader ot' 'tiig Opposition was in this _llouse lic hrotigllt in a hill to siiortcn the i'orin ol' it mortgage, and there were two columns. In one column the words of the new riiortgruge worn set out, and lri the other coluinn the words, equal tc- thein in tho old i'orm were sl-.t out. Iii'tlio new i'or‘in tliere was one clause I rcincinber: “And the iirnrtgageo doth licreby nlioru uuti lieeonio ti=.uaut"; and that was equal ito; “and t.lie mortagoi' doth hereby attorii ami liccoine . tenant that is, ' if you wan- ted t.0 know what the mortgagee meant in the Bell column you had ie go to the other column and find that it meant the mortgagor, that it meant the very reverse ot' what it said. I believe that is the key to the whole course of the Leader ot' the Oppcsi. tion. You turn up and find what he says; then you turn to the other co- lumn where the truth is and you find the exact reverse. It is double entry system. THE DALTON SANATORIUM. - Tlio lion. gentleman cannot keep lawoy from the Dalton Sanatorluni. I know that last August he nearly raised li riot among his own people with the attitude lie took towards that insti- tution, iasd now he is at it worse than ever. Ile stated then it would cost $14,000 to $20,000 a year to maintain ,the institution. Well, he did not know what he was talking about any more tliian when he said $400 was the increase of tax ou some unknown __m,_.__. so wnn mm m.
