Since that per- iod. the income from Ls source has practically ceased and no fur- ther revenue can be expected; but on the other hand the Province continues to pay the Dominion in- terest on the money advanced, 5g a result of which our annual sub- sidy in lieu of ubllc lands is re- duced from $45. to $5,879.90. At the time of Confederation. it was fiiii‘”..ebi‘if““°d “P?” “his”; ' a specs su o ‘£45,000 because it had no pgblic lands. and it is obvious that we still need this amount a fortiori. We therefore recommend and urge that the above-mentioned loan. amounting actually to $782.- 402.33. made by the Dominion to lmés Province be forthwith cancel- e . Conclusion It is not proposed in this section in summarize the substantial rec- ommendations which have been specifically made in the earlier mrtlons of this brief. as this would lead to a considerable amount of valuclcss repetition. 1n conclusion. this Province ex- presses the hope that its submis- sions may be of some assistance to the, R0 Commlsion in its study of Dominion-Provincial relations. Yet, however thorough the Com- mlslonfls investigation may be,and however beneficial the re-orgaxaiza- tlons resulting therefrom. it is too muchto hope that the work of any Commission will afford a panacea for all present and future consti- tutional and fiscal difficulties of the Dominion and the provinces. It is therefore recommended and urged that some provision should be made for annual or periodic conferences to be held between representatives of the Dominion and representatives of the provin- CS Such conferences have been very frequently held in the past, but they have been summo ed at 1r- regular intervals. and ave had very little continuity of purpose or achievement. The necessarily short notice which usually precedes such irregular conferences precludes the - icy of systematic prepara- tion of the agenda. On the other hand. if (say) the first week of_ November in each year were fixed as the annual meeting time of such conferences. both Dominion and Provinces would be able to prepare necessary materials sys- tematically and thoroughly. The regularity which would attend such awsysteun would help to put. an end to the unfairness which has resulted from the importuning of the Dominion Government by slugle provinces in irrefl" ‘av suc- cession. A much fairer and more equitable treatment-of provincial claims. and of problems meeting the Dominion and the provinces. could thus be secured. All of which is respectfully aub- mittcd Tl-IANE A.

TIHA _g_runxman Trade Board Brief Stresses Unfair Cost Discrimination Against City And Province In Federal Direct Relief Matters Charged In Presentation. Harbor and Rail Transportation Improvements Urged That instead of the aver- age 33.3 per cent the City of Charlottetown had last year to pay 61 per cent of direct relief costs, and that the Mayor of Charlottetown “had practically to beg on small amount of assistance that has been provided”, is charged Iin the brief sub- mittcd yesterday before the Rowel] Commission on be- half of the Charlottetown Board of Trade. The brief, presented by Lieut. Col. G. E. Full, President; of the Board. states that in direct relief payments from the Federal Gov- emment to the end of the fiscal year 1936-37, the brief states. Prince Edward Island received only '15 cents per capita as against $7.45 for Ontario and $24.74 for Sas- katchewan. This made possible the payment by the Provincial. Government to destitute persons in the rural districts of only $3.00 per month. “With regard to urban districts,” the brief continues. “the problem in the City of Charlottetown has reached a point where it is beyond the capacity of the city to deal with. With the normal population of around 11.000 or 12,000 ax- banded 1 within the last. few years to between 14.000 and 15,000. and with no corresponding expansion in industrial activity, the city of Charlottetown is forced to provide direct relief to approximately 600 families, amount ng in all to about 3,000 persons. “The total direct relief provided for these people during 1937 was $53,464.38. This works out. to ap- proximately $2.9'l per person. per month or about $14.85 per family per month over a six month per- iod during which relief is provid- Extorted From City “We invite you to compare these figures." the brief st es, "with those applicable to other districts. Of this amount. meagre though it was, the City was forced to pay 61 per cent while other Canadian cities pay on an average 33 per cent. of their relief costs and some. such as Hull, Quebec. paid only 14.7 per cent for the year 1935. "This deplorable state of affair! is not due to the fact that the City‘ Officials have not attempted to obtain more equitable treatment by the Dominion. Our Mayor has been forced practically to beg on his knees for the uniustly small Ellldllliléléd of assistance that has been U00 . "Unemployment relief however is not the only point of difficulty. The analysis of the payment for Old Age Pensions for Canada for the year ending December 81. 1936 reveals the fact that the average recipient of such a pension in Prince Edward Island received only $122.17, whereas the average re- cipient throughout the Dominion as a whole received $194.07 and the average recipient in the Prairie Provinca received $206.33. Denied Compensation “In addition to the inequalities and hardships suffered by our people in the administration of Unemployment Relief and Old Age Pensions. our workmen are denied compensation for injury such as is provided in other pio- vlnoes. and our mothers have nov- er had the advantage of Mothers’ "“o°.f’“‘t°?’£' n e re con nues: _"A system of administration that permits such inequalities among the people of Canada ls not to be tolerated. As contributors by tax- ation to the Dominion Govern- , ment. we feel that every Canadian citizen of like need should receive the same treatment from the Do- minion Government irrespective of the financlaleabillty-of the Pro- vincial or Municipal Governments to make adequate provision, and that contributions should not be based on Municipal or Provincial payments. We therefore recom- mend that Unemployment Relief and Old Age Pensions should be recognized as National Dwblollls and administered by the Federal Government in the interests of the nation as a whole. We believe that this will have a two-fold ef- feet. (a) individual citizens through- out Canada who are depend- ing on these services will re- ceive fair and equal trest- ment. (b) The cost of administration of these services to the coun- try as a whole will be ma- terially lesscncd. "We believe that if the Domin- ion wuuld adopt the policy cf ad- ministering these services on the basis of a compromise between the frugality of Prince Edward Is- land on the one hand and the prodlgality of some other prov- result would be a substantial sav- ing to the country as a whole. Loan Council “We believe, in addition -- and recommend that if the Federal Government. in connection with the taking over of these services cancels loans made to certain pro- vinces for the admlnistraton of these services in the past the ar- rangement should be such that all provinces should be treated on an equal basis. "In addition. it is our sincere be- lief. had there been some form of inces on the other hand. the not! W099i‘ Obllflbl 0V0!’ PlVVihCill DOI- rowings in the past, many of the financial difficulties that have made vour Commission necessary might never have arisen. Con- sequently. we wish to recommend that some satisfactory form of Nation-wide Loan Council be in- stituted at the earliest opportun- ity in order that Provincial and Municipal borrowings may not. again be allowed to get out hand. . Unemployment Insurance “As in the case of the social ser- vices already dealt with we believe that any scheme for Unemploy- ment. Insurance should be natlon- , al rather than provincial in scope. We wish to point out. however. that. if such a scheme be limited to industrial activities the Farm- ers and the Fishermen of Prince Edward Island will receive no benefit from it but at the same time this Province will be contri- buting lts full share of the Dom- inion contribution to the scheme. We therefore urge that the scheme. in order to serve the national in- terest, must be sufficiently broad to equalize conditions between in- dustrial and. non-industrial areas. "In considering these oom- ments on the Social Services we would ask you to remember that the suggestions have come not from the people of a wealthy pro- vince whose need for these ser- vices might be small. but, from the people of a. province in receipt. of the lowest per ccpita income of any Province in the Dominion." Transportation The first Dart. of the Trade Board brief deals with the economic background and disavantagas of the Province under Confederation. Attention is called to the fact that durinz the winter months persons travelling from the New England states to Prince Edward Island or from Montreal, if they travel on the “Ocean Limited”. are unable to get connections by rall from Moncton to this Pro- vince the same afternoon as they arrive in that city and, as a. result are forced to lose a day's travelling time. As to the fact that from Saturday morning until Monday morning it ls not possible to get to the Mainland by rail nor is there any connection to Prince Edward Island from the mainland between Saturday and Monday afternoon. In this connection the brief cites the terms of Union under which this Province entered Confedera- tion in 1873. It; then proceeds: "We submit to you that this vice throughout eight months of the year is a di- rect violation of the obligation of Dominion of Canada to maintain a continuous communication with the Intercolonial Railway and the Railway system of the Dominion. The fact. that this was partially reconlzed at the time of the Dun- can l‘ lot when this after- noon service was continued to the 2nd of January in each year sup- ports our point. With the on- slaught of the depression however. this service was again curtailed The difficulty is that the Federal Government has turned over in obligation in this matter to the Railway Company which is not fulfilling the agreement. The rea- son given for this is that the cost is such that the Railway does not feel Justified in carrying out the agreement in full. The mainten- ance of this service is a direct obligation of the Dominion in a written contract. and is not de- pendent on the profit or loss shown by the Railway Company. “We are at. present enjoying an Air Service on the Charlottetown- Summerside-Moncton Route oper- ated gyl Canadian Airways Limit- ed. is Company has provided us with good equipment and a personnel whose dependability and skill is unsurpassed. As we un- derstand that. the present contract with this Company expires with- in the next year we wish to point out to you the absolute necessity of this service being maintained and continued on the same general basis as now operated, with neces- sary improvements. Ferry Service Needed “We have also another trans- portation advantage about which We are not. forgetting. Since the sitting here of the Duncan Com- mission. the Dominion Govern- ment have provided. on the Bor- den-Tormentinc Route the ser- vice of the S. Charlottetown a. cor ferry of luxurious appoint.- ments which is equipped for a much more convenient handling of automobile traffic than was the boat that. was formerly in op- eration on that route. With the increasing automobile traffic. how- ever. the services of this boat are being continually taxed to capac- itycaxzd mnlcss something-la done t0 relieve this situation. our pros- pects for a share in the growing tourist. traffic are very poor. "The normal competition with inter-provincial Bus and Truck traffic which has forced the Rail- way in other parts of Canada to provide an up to date service is also denied to Prince Edward Is- land. The only possible connec- tion at present with the mainland for. such traffic is that between Borden and Tormentlnc where the rates charged by the Railway are so prohibitive that this traf- fic is completely strangled. Pork Neglected "With regard to ocean going ti of this Pro- advantageous. Maritime Provinces. Prince Edward Island Ls the only one whose Doria the Federal Gov- ernment has consistently seen fit to neglect. The harbour and duct:- lng facilities at Charlottetown, for example. are fit. only for coastwise shipping and the few ocean going tourist and cargo boats of even the rnost moderate size which have attempted to call here have ex- perienced the greatest of difficulty. “A survey of Charlottetown l-Iar- bour was begun in 1935 and com- pleted in 193"! but to date the ne- cessary docking facilities for the larger class of vessels have not been provided." Emphasis is placed on "the gradual decline in our export mar- kets. and the corresponding in- crease in domestic markets made difficult to us because of trans- portation costs." The difficulty is illustrated by the fact that. while water trans- portation is available to us during the summer months the Railway provides special competitive rates When water transportation is clos- ed to us. however, during the win- ter months. the Rail rates take an immediate jump of approximately 25% over those provided during the summer. A concrete example is cited in the present potato situation. The Toronto market is offerin ap- proximately 3 .85 for a 90 f). bag of potatoes u»; bushels), but, the cost of landing them at that mar- ket ls 3 .42, giving a net return to the Prince Edward Island ship- per of only about S .25 a bushel. The return to the farmer is even less, due to handling costs. Heavy Fixed Charges “Because of the heavy fixed charges. smell decreases in price in the consuming centres are greatly magnified in terms of the return to the farmer. For example. when Toronto pays $ .85 for a 00 lb. bag of potatoes. the Prince Ed- ward Island farmer gets 3 .22 per bushell. When the Toronto price drops 10%, however, the full amount of the decrease falls on the Prince Edward‘ Island farmer who then gets but 3 .1745 per bushel. which represents a dccrcasu o ' ‘T3. "in addition. the lncldcncc of the tariff on the cost of oods purchased in Prince Edwar Is- land has been heavy, We are not prepared, however, to dispute Lhc wisdom. from a National point of view, of the policy which has been adopted, resulting in concentra- tion of industry in the central pro- vinces. Nor do we feel that a pro- posal for a regional tariff is with- in the realm of practical considera- tion. as this might tend to act as a disrxpting factor. whereas we be- lieve that, a strengthening rather than a. weakening of National bonds is needed at this time. “We feel that we should share more equitably in the benefits which have accrued to the country as a whole from the Dominion fiscal policy. as it is undoubtedly reacting to our detriment. Some of the hardships that have been suffered should be alleviated by the Federal Government providing sufficient assistance in transpor- tation costs so that our farmers and fishermen may compete on an equal footing in the great domes- tic markets that have been built up through the development of in- dustry in the central provinces." Taxation After dealing with direct relief and other social services the brief proceeds to discuss certain aspects of taxation. With regard to Income Taxes it is suggested. “in the interests of eguity and fair play" that. all col- lections be made by the Federal. Government; that the Federal Gov- rnment continue to collect its reg guiar tax under the Income War Tax Act. and. in addition. a de- finite Dwlwrtion to be earmark- ed. for distribution to the various provinces on a per caplta basis. "with regard to Succession Duties, we would point out that. under our present system of taxa- tion not only are the two wealthiest provinces in the Dominion collect- ing large amounts in Succession Duties from the estates of wealthy residents whose wealth has been built up by contributions to Na- tional organizations by residents of outlying provinces. but. in addition these central provinces are exact- ing and collecting additional Suc- cession Duties from the estates of residents of the smaller and less wealthy provinces. such as Prince Eldwarcl Island. due entirely t0 the legal technicality that the trans- fer agencles of the majority of Canadian corporations happen t0 be situated within these two wealthy provinces. "It is not even necessary that the head office or any the tangible assets of the industry be situated in the province which ls collecting such a tax. Takc the case of a New Brunswick com- pany. or a. Manitoba company with a transfer agency in Montreal ln Quebec province. Upon the death of a resident of Prince Edward Is- land taking place his beneficiary must pay toll to the Province of Quebec upon the value of the shares of the New Brunswick or Manitoba company solely because the shares oi such stock arc trans- ferable in the province of Quebec. Assuming a Prince Edward Island resident who has succeeded in ac- cumulating a fuir sized estate which is invcstcd in registered se- curities of Canadian corporations. then upon the death of such in- divldual taking place the two wealthy provinces of Canada will collect substantial Succession Du- ties to the entire exclusion of~the province in which thc testator liv- cd during his lifetime and ac- cumulated his savings. “Not only docs the situation above described nctually exist but should a life long resident of Prince Edward Island die havinll nn estate approximately $100,000 represented by investments ln Can- adian corporations of national scope vet with Transfer Agency in Quebec and should such individual leave his entire estate to charities within his province. the province of Quebec will impose a. succes- slnn duty lax of upwards of $23.- 000 upon these gifts which a resi- dent. of this Province leaves to charities within his native pro- "vince. The tax im sed in this case being at the h ghost bracket imposed upon llllzfitflte of such size and imposed purely upon technical grounds. "The least that should be done HllRSElttMtlIRS PROGRESS IN OLDEN DAYS (C. E. MucKenzic) During the trotting season of i891 the yearling two and live- year-old all aged wagon, stallion and race record were broken anu a marvelous triple hitch record was established. Besides this the stall on records for one. two, foul and five year old were lovrercd. All this showed wonderful pru- fircss in the tllcn IIRFllCSS world but even a greater sign of the times was the fact that during the season of 1891 more than twice as many horses had attained what was then known as extreme speed than in all previous years in the racing world. For up to the be- ginning of the i891 racing year but two horses Maud S. 2.08 3-4 and Joy Eye See 2.10 had trotted in 2.10 or better, while in 1891 Sunol 2.08 l-4, Polo Alto 2.08 3-4. Nancy Hanks 2.00, Allertoiv 2.09%’. all entered the 2.10 list while even a two year old Avion gave the 2.10 list a close call when he made the mile in 2.10 3-4. No doubt the kite shaped track had an influence on some of these records but I find that Nancy Hanks 2.09 and NcLson 2.10 unade their rcccvzls on regulation tracks and there seems to no doubt that the greater number of these 2.10 records would have been made if the kite shaped track had not come into “ tencc.

Another nofcd fact is that the fooling year of 1880 was rich in speed as Sunol, Nancy Hanks and Allerton wore foalcd in that year, while 1889 had to its credit as the natal year of Arion 2.10 3-4. Monbars 2.16 'l-2 and Ralph Wilkles 2.18 or an uwrwgc of about 2.15 for thrcc your‘ oi To show that vc.) ‘rapid pro- gress was madc in 1801 it might be stated that it was less than fifty years before that date when the first horse made a mile in 2.30 as compared with the average above quoted of 2.10 for stallions mares and geldings or a lowering from 2.30 to 2.08 l-4 about. one half second a year. Looking over previous stallion records I find that in 1876 Smuggler trotted a mile in 2.15 l-4 and this mark stood until July l4, 1884. when Phallus won the fourth and de- ciding heat of a race in the then exceptional time of 2.13 3-4, and on August 28 of the same year Maxey Cobb. made a bid for it and recorded 2.15 and later in Septem- ber he made another try and nick- ed the marker at 2.13 l-4. The stallion record of 2.15 was still top notch until 1887, when Patron made the mile in 2.14 l-4. Two years later Stamboul reduced his 1887 record of 2.14 3-4 to 2.12 1-2 and the following stallions made records below 2.15 - Axtell 2.12 Polo Alto, 2.12%. Bonnie Mc- Gregor 2.13 l-2, and Nelson 2.14 l-4. In 1890 Nelson rcduccd the stallion record to 2.10 3-4 and» stfimboul was a clcsc second in So many stallions trotted into the 2.15 list in 1891 that I find it difficult to give a complete list of them this could not be said of any previous year in trotting his- tory. Another proof of the rapid strides made in these notable years ls the fact that there were more 2.10 stallions in 189i than there were 2.15 stallions five years be- fore. In 1891 the 2.15 stallion list was as follows: ' N Polo Alt/o. by Elcctiuuecr, dam Winnie by Planet, 2.08 3-4. Aller- ton by Jay Bird. dam Gnssie Wilkes by Mambeino Boy 2.09 i-4.

The lack of progress in Prince Fdwnrrl Island slncc Confctlcration. due to lal Dominion fiscal Policy. 4b) High costs of transportation. 2. The inequality of tho prcscnt system of administration of the social services. 3.
