MAY 22. 1936, Our Hospitals This Province has every reason to be proud of its public hospitals. This week the annual meetings of two of these have been held, Prince County and P. E. I., and highly satisfactory re- ‘: ports submitted. Mr. II. T. llo1.iuAN, President of the former was able to show that the Sum- merside institution was-able to run not only satis- factorily and efiiciently, but as a paying proposi- 3 tion. Alas, this cannot be said of many public I hospitals, and so far as our knowledge goes, in 7 this respect, Prince County is in a class by itself. 2‘ It is cliaracteristic of Sumiiierside and Prince County generally to be “beholden to no man" 5: where business, enterprise and philanthrophy are ‘ concerned. ‘_V_ in the annual meeting of the P. E. I. Hospi- ;; tal suliscrilicrs last evening a great deal of inter- .7 est \vas evinced because of the promise of a sur- _ prise aiiiioiincemcnt. Certainly it was an an- nouncement that delighted the hearts of subscrib- Q ers, directors, admiiiistration, staff and patients 1. alike; iiaiiiely, that the Trustees of the Cundall Home had "gifted” that fine endowed institu- tion to the Hospital directorate for a home and I training centre for nurses, who would be allowed I. pocket-money as well. This is a most timely gift, for the Directors were at a loss how to accommo- ‘ date their nursing staff without proceeding to the completion of the building plan which had been curtailed on account of the depression. Now. for three years at all events, the administration need have no further worry over the matter. Perhaps the most highly pleased individual at last night's meeting was Mr. W. K. ROGERS himself who made the announcement. It is true Mr. ROGERS has as his co-directors some of the most successful and enterprising business men in the City, but it is no disparagenient to them to say that for many years, Mr. ROGERS has been the “main push" and inspiration of the great institution over which he so ably and disiiiterest— ’edly presides. For over thirty years Mr. ROGERS has been largely, and even intimately, identified ‘ ‘with the Hospital as Director and Chairman, and his interest has never flagged in cooperating with his fellow directors in the endeavour to provide for the public here one of the best equipped. up- to-date and efficiently administered hospitals in the Maritimes. At last night's meeting much pro- gress was reported. The cost per patient has been reduced from $3.15 to $3.05 per day. The num- __ her of new patients admitted increased from 1403 to 1450.

The League of Nations is a boon and bles- sing to the KING Government in providing jobs for clamouring supporters. The Labour Minister has just announced a list of lucky individuals, totalling nine who will represent Canada, in one capacity or another, at the 2otli session of the International Labour Conference of the League at Geneva opening on June 4. * ii Hi It is only,fair to Mr. J. F. LEIGHTIZER to state that his appointment to be Assistant Super- intendent of the P. E. I. Division of the C. N. R. came as a complete surprise to him. When inter- viewed by a GUARDIAN representative on Tues- day night he declared it was “news to me." Such pleasant surprises are none the less appreciated on that account. BK BK BK New Brunswick Attoriiey-Geiieral, Hon. B. ll/ICNAIR, who is a B. C. L. of Oxford, is more than a match for Hon. Mr. LAi-oiNri-: and all the other provincial Attorney-Generals com- bined. It was he who devised the anticipatory legislation for New Brunswick which would put the banks and commerce generally “on the spot" immediately the B. N. A. amendment was adopt- ed by the British Parlizimeiit, Premier l)\'s.\R’i"s speech, declaring this to be his Goveriinieiit's policy, caused consternation in fiiiaiicial, coin- niercial and legal circles, and not least in the cab- inet of Mr. MAc1<i:Nzii-: KING, where statesman- ship is conspicuous by its absence. Believe it or not Mr. McNAiiz is no pussy-footer. The political pot in Quebec is almost boiling over. The latest development was reached in from 181 to 209. The total cost of free patients at $1.50 per diem was $1o,oI2.o8——wliich, of course, if the actual cost to the institution was taken, would be just double that amount. Needy Fishermen’: Grant There seems still to be a good deal of mis- understanding among Liberal politicians with re- gard to the $300,000 federal grant in aid of needy fishermen. As proposed in Parliament, this grant was interpreted by Mr. FINN, Liberal member for llalifax, to‘ apply only to those who had been forced through economic conditions to abandon the fishery industry. There was also criticism that the amount was altogether in- adequate if it was intended to benefit needy fishermen in all the Provinces. Then came the .be supplemented in every case by.eqt_ial con- tributions from the provinces participating. _ Prior to the passing of the grant the Legis- lature of this Province empowered the CAMPBELL _Goveriiment to provide for the administration .“of any fund which may be appropriated Or pl‘0- vided to assist in the re-establishment of needy farmers and fishermen.” The Premier stated it was the intention to appropriate $8,000 for needy fishermen and to seek assistance at Ottawa. in the matter of “a similar fund" for needy fisher- men. The Estimates, however, contained no pro- vision for either purpose. The Nova Scotia Legislature, more alert to the fishermen’s interests, passed a bill author- izing expenditure up to $100,000 for the purpose of taking advantage of the Ottawa grant. An- nouncement has now been made by Premier MACDONALD that his govemment has arranged $5 call a meeting of representative fishermen of e- Province on May 26, in order that the opin- bnb of those actually engaged in the industry rhight be obtained as to the best means of util- igipgthe federal and provincial grants. Every number of the Legislature representing 1 fish- ihg constituency was asked to name one fisher- n to attend the meeting. ‘ -Premier Macoounw also stated that the federal grant was intended iolely for _ ‘e use of needy deep sea fishermen in the , ' cc: of Nova New Brunswick, -. ¢cc and British Co 13- . _ trim. -mu-nen.¢. °°"!'P9!?‘.,..°“.‘°'. “pith Premier Camus’: remarks in the “toast ‘ , or with the more reap!

The article caused a scnsatioii in political circles following the stirring events of the past weeks when efiorts were made to defeat the Gov- ernment on “snap" votes. The article suggests a coalition Government in which lVl/tuiticiz l)UPLEss1s and PAUL Go_uiN would take part. There is no use Premier CAMPBELL or any other representative of this province going cap- iii-liaiid to Ottawa asking for crumbs that fall from the rich man's table. To succeed with hard-boiled eggs ‘like the Junior member for Queens and his permanent stafl’, the Premier must be able to prove that what he asks for is practicable and in accordance with conditions applicable to other provinces as well. Before go- ing to Ottawa with any scheme for unemploy- ment relief he ought to assure himself that it is invulnerable and unlikely to get the Minister into trouble with other provinces. Otherwise the Premier might as well spend his month's vaca- tion on the Island, saving time, money, and temper.

It enab- ling measures were passed in these respects they would bring further duplication. although it would not be direct in the case of hotels and restaurants, It would be useless to try to dis- guise the truth with regard to the Provinces and many urbnn muni- cipalltlea. Like the Federal Govern- ment itself, they want more money. But was there ever a time when they didn't? And is there any as- surance that what. is being attempt- ed now, it carried through. would not be followed by other demands? When explaining the object of the proposed nm:ndinent to the British North America Act. to grant the Provinces the‘ 1-irrht to impose limited ittdlrcst taxation the Min- ister of Justice paiiitzd out that the arrsrizcmsnt ntatlt‘ for Federal subsidiw to the Prov Ices in 183'! was c '1): ::l by Hon.

But the Provinces kept going back suc- cessfully for more, although each occasion was intended to be the last. There has been no such thing as flrialliy for this form of assist- ance, and there seems to be no ‘.1111- it to other demands. As is well known, the Provinces were expcctcd to get their revenue from direct taxes which the tax- payer could not pas: along, Proper taxes werzintendedto provide what revenue was needed by the mun- ielpallties. At the same time the Federal Government met the great- er part of its rqulrcmonts from cus- toms duties and excise. The cost of the Great War upaet everything; but even when war rcvenui taxes and other extraordinary impcsts were devised they were not regard- ed ns permanent. With ii. great de- pression following a post-war spend- ing spree. the entire scheme of tax- ation has been knocked to pieces. Is it ncessnry nevertheless, to lose sight of the fact that the trouble is due to the unusual conditions cre- tloris in the fields of taxation? The bill now under way at Ottawa will establish a new set-up by opening the indirect avenue to Piovinclal Leglslntiires. with the probability that it will grow in extent it records of the past are any criterion.
