SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1915.
It is interesting at the present D0\itiC\\i JUUCWTG to re'
vert to that interesting period in -the history Of me L“’e"“l
pany when in 1911 they found thenlseives drifting heir-
lessly on the rocks on which the survivors of the party
are once more struggling to regain a footing. They Were
facing two bye-elections which to lose meant annihilation
and which to win would give them another session and
another opportunity to apportion among UIGIHSGIVBB what
remained of the loot.
They were bankrupt. There was nothing iii sight but
direct taxation and towards this last hope they began 1°
in chief, Mr. l~‘. J. Nash, was contesting the bye-election in
the Belfast district, was gingerly leading the way towards
this final hope. ln its issue of Nov. 2, 1911. The P3il`|0t
fiombuoyantly informs its readers that the assessments
per head of the population in Ontario for the year 1909
were: “]ii townships, $6.81; in towns and villages, $9.13;
in cities, $14.53," and adds, “If we take into coiisideration
the amount of land, road and income tax paid by the people
of this province outside of Charlottetown and Summerslde,
it amounts to about $55,000 per annum. Add to this
$35,000 voted iit school district meetings, a total of $90,000,
which is only about $1.10 per head, so it will be seen that
the people of the rural districts of Ontario are taxed about
seven times as heavily as our people. lf our farmers were
taxed as heavily as the farmers of Ontario they would
have to pay over half at million dollars annually. In New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia, also, the general government.
only pays a small part of the teachers' salaries, leaving
the municipalities and school districts to raise the bal-
ance."
As election day approached the Patriot became more
anti more enthusiastic and more and more rattled, for we
find some discrepancies in its figures. Figures, however,
never troubled the Patriot, neither did their accuracy. ln
its issue of Nov. 14, 1911, we find the following, among
other thingsiwhich were being thrown overboard: “There
are 15,000 faruiers on the Island and their contributions
to the general revenue amount to only about $3.50 per
head, about one tenth of the average amount paid by farm-
ers in Ontario.” This was ii “last word" in the Patriot be-
fore the fatal election in Belfast and this was the manner
in which they proposed to run matters--tax the farmers.
Fortiiiiately for the province the farmers took the sensible
view of the matter and the next issue of the Patriot, dated
the day after the election, tells how: "We have been de-
feated lii a good cause; we have gone down with flying
after the General Election of Jan., 1912, when Mr. Nash
tried conclusions with the electors of Charlottetown and
R0Y8ity, the history of the encounter also appeared in
the Patriot: “It has been borne in upon us that neither
the country nor the city wanted us.”
The Grits went bankrupt in 1911 but were prepared to
tux the farmers if again entrusted with the government.
Now that the Mathieson Government has placed the pro-
vince on its financial feet, now that the Matlifeson Gov-
ernment has secured a subsidy of $100,000 for 51| time to
come from the Dominion, the Grits are anxious to have
another try at financing the affairs of the province, Wm
the people trust them? Should they trust them? They
certainly will not and should not.
Muimiir iiAizi16’uirs True MEN
M T119 Devple of Murray Harbour District know Hon.
urdoch McKinnon and Mr A. P. Prowse sufficiently well
'-0 keeiily resent the insidious attacks being made upon
them by the iiuartette of political adventurers Messrs. Wil-
S011, MCVi0. Schurman and Bentley.
Mr. McKinnon has been a total iibstalner all his
life, a teniperaiice reformer all his life, and the most ad.
vanced toinperance legislator the province has ever known.
Mr. A. P. Prowse is probably the greatest and most
highly Fssbected temperaiice man in the Province. We
dare any one, or all. of the political adventurers now camp-
liig in Murray Harbour to point to any man who is more
highly respected and esteemed for his temperance prlii-
elples. or who more conscientiously advocates and furthers
temperance in our midst. Mr. Prowse has never tasted,
touched or handled intoxicants in his life,
A YET THESE ARE THE MEN THOSE TWO ITINER-
Vg; POLITICAL PARSONS. AND TWO POLITICAL AD-
TURERS HAVE SET OUT TO TRADUCE FOR THE
PURPOSES OF REVENGE.
We give the people of Murray Harbour credit for put-
ting more faith in two of their own people who have lived
among them all their lives, whose consistency they have
‘known and appreciated all their lives, than in revengeful
office-seekers who have been disappointed and discom-
flted, and who have gone to the length of converting
churches and lemperance lodges into political hustlngs, to
gratify their hateful vengeful lust. .
I Ttconsisrizncr
While Messrs David Schurman and W. D. Wilson are
shedding tears ln the Fourth District of Kings over the
“lax administration of the Prohibition Act." and incident-
ally accusing Hon. Murdoch McKinnon of lying-because
he refused to appoint Mr McVie a prosecutor-they forget!
that under the Grit Government, which they are trying
to resurrect "ln the interests of temperance" .(?). two
licensed vendor shops were permitted to do open business
unmolested. and that during the Msthleson Govemment,
which they are so vlciously fighting-also " ln the interests
of temperance” (7)-the vendors licenses were cancelled
and the vendor shops closed. They also ignore the fact
that during the past eight months, according to official
records, there was 35 per cent. less drunkenness in Char-.
lottetown than in the corresponding period in 1914. The
figures arc: in 1914, 154 convictions; ln 1915, 101 convlgr-"‘
steer their staggering barque. The Patriot, whose editor ,‘
MR. BRODIE'S S0-CALLED "‘ FACTS ”
f Both at Wlneloe snd York Mr. Peter Brodie, "tha gle-
ing hope" of the Liberal party, stated that the Government
had spent $22,000 of the $26,000 of the Dominion Agricul-
tural Aid Grant on salaries. Mr. Donald Nicholson, M. P..
contradicted him at Winsloe, but he returned to the charge
at York and said he had the blue book to prove lt.
Let us see what the Blue Book-does say on the sub-
ject. Turn to page 85 Appendix II. of the Department of
Agriculture in the report of the Provincial Auditor and our
readers will find the following which we reproduce ver-
batlm:

velation of his gross misrepresentation of the facts?
PROSPECTS
The Grits are making very poor headway ln their can-
vas in the city and Royalty. That _was to be expected Of
course from the outset.
Within the past few days two conventions were held
in Cliarlottetowii, one Grit, the other Conservative and boi.h
forthe purpose of nominating candidates to represent the
City and Royalty. At the Grit convention there were
fewer than two score present. at the Conservative conven-
tion the Board of Trade Rooms were not large enough
to accommodate those who tried to get in. At the former
men were urged to accept candidature, not ln the hope of
being elected, but in order that the district might not
go to the Conservatives by acclamation, which would have
a demoralising effect upon Grit prospects throughout the
province. Two men were persuaded to make the sacrifice.
At the Conservative convention the most prominent men
of ull sections of the community were present and, with-
out exception, they endorsed the buslnessllke administra-
tion of Premier Mathleson, ridiculed the idea of imagining
for ii moment that any considerable number of the people
of the province should, after the experience of the past
three and a half years, desire to make ii change hi the
administration. Business men throughout the province,
representative farmers, who recognise business methods
When they see them are practically unanimous in declaring
that not only is there no probability of a change of
government, but that such ii. change, if by any mishap
it came about, would be ii calamity. The prospects, judg-
ing not by the noise made by_ the ofllce-seekers, but by the
sound common sense of the provliice, are that the Mathie-
iion Government will again sweep the country. This is
the impression left at practically every meeting held
throughout the province. ' '

GRITS AND THE AUTUS
Mr Peter Brodie. or “Kaiser Pete," as he is now
familiarly known in the York district, has been the leading
Grit spokesman at the meetings in the Third District. Mr
Brodie's pet topic is, of course, the Automobile Act--and
he opposes the return of two men who ure anti-autoists
like himself. Why is this? Simply because Mr Brodie
is ii Grit first, foremost and always, and an anti-auto pledge
is to him “ merely a scrap of paper." _
In proof of this we have Mr Brodie supporting a party
committed to the policy of the continuance of the Auto
Act on the Statute Book. The Grit Party has issued a
"platform" over the signature of its leader, Mr Benjamin
Rogers, and in that platform there is not one word about
repealing the Automobile Act. Why? Because the Grit
party has no intention, even if returned to power, of
repealing the present law.
The Auto Act is circumscribed by restrictions whlcli
puts its operation or' otherwise entirely in _the hands
of the peolpe. If seventy-five per cent. of the people in
any one district declare themselves in favour of the
running of automobiles in their own district, they may, all
other things being equal, have them. lf seventy-five per
cent. do not favour them, the autos cannot be permitted
to run. This ls local option. and local option ie the keynote
ol' the most advanced democracy.
But " Kaiser Pete," like his namesake, has no use for
Democracy or Democratic rule. He sees only the need
there is for a cry with which to get the Grits into power,
so lie shouts “ autos! " at the pitch of his voice, and takes
good care not to refer to the conspicuous absence of any
anti-auto pledge in the Grit manifesto.
