Expendit- qges in tbe Department of Health and Welfare are very great and will increase with each succeed- ing year. The so called Federal Health grants. many of which had to be matched by the local Gov. eminent are doing a great deal of good in this Province. As I am a member of the Advisory Commit- tee to the Minister of Health and welfare, representing the Medi. cal Profession with Dr. l-Iowatt of Surnmerside, I think the Gov- ernment acted wisely in accept- ing, in full, our recommendations. I can bear personal testimony of our advance in Public Health in every phase. particularly in the field of cancer control. "I realize that the expense of training and keeping properly qualified personnel in the many divisions of the Public Health and Welfare Department is great and will be greater, but! feel that no money is wasted. I am not so sure about the buiildind Dro- grarnme. The Leader of the 09- position made the charge in the Legislature that the new Public Health centre was built on a cost plus is per cent basis and that sl.atem&rit was never denied. "1! the statement is correct there was a waste of money there, on a building which cost about 3175.000. 1 hope a better contract will be made on the building of the new treatment centre at Fal- conwood. which the Minister said would cost about 3500.000. 1 was severely criticized in 1932, for my plans re Falcon-wood Mental Hos- pital.

Allan Stewart, but only after he had been dropped as Minister of Agriculture. "i ” "y the best paying as- set of the Jones Government is the building of the Queen Charlotte which the Stewart MacMillnn Gov- ernment bought ln 1932 for some of the inmates of Falconwood. We Dhid 810.000 for it and the pres- ent Government recclves SL000. a year rent on this building, it pays for itself every three years. This was a pretty good bargain, no money wasted there. "I think any elector would be amused at Premier Jones address on Provincial issues, published in the Guardian April 6th., 1951. I refer for instance to his reference to the "indirect turn-over which he says the Federal Govern. ment will empower the Province 00 i0Vy- He said. "it would facilit- ate the collection of taxes more even over the Province, it will also prevent the raising of the Federal sales"..Evldently Mr. Abbott did not consult Premier Jones when he raised the sales tax from 8 per cent to 10 per cent. "The turn-over tax would com- pel every farmer and small dealer to keep a set of books recording Wery sale and adding on 3 per cent. What an enormous burden of troub- le and confusion, the "Premier would put on farmers and others! I agine selling for instance. 10 dozen eggs, a few pounds of butter. a few vegetables and keep an ac- count of the tax. It is a hateful, monstrous idea. "He says this party can't be trust- ed with the responsibility of Gov- ernment but son-ie Government will impose this tax in the future. so let voters be warned. Return the Jones Government and you will get the most troublesome tax of all. l-Io said, "the present Govern- ment haa had annual surpluses, but put in a Conservative Government which is their past record and a turn over tax may be what would be needed to get them out of the red h e". Just listen to that. vot- ers, an I am sure you will laugh. The conclusion will be none but a Liberal Government fit to carry on in P. E. I. surpluses and Debt "The Premier's surpluses on ord- iiiary account are worth nothing when the main items of expendit- ure are in capital account. Look at the record and you will find that the Stewart MacMillan Govem- ment of 1923-1027 was the only Government that reduced our debt in the past 25 years. and with very limited revenues.

Turnover Tax "I now refer back to Premier Jones statement that a turnover tax would be necessary to take a Conservative Government out of the red hole. What do you voters think of that wonderful statement? Does he speak with voice of auth'- crity or out of his long experience? He certainly knows more about the red hole than any man in this Province, he plunged into the red hole as soon as he became head of the Government. He is so deep in the "Red Hole" that it would take a cordon of tractors to pull him. And he above all others speaks of a red hols. l-low subllmely ridicu- lous he must appear to the voters. "During the days of my Premier- ship I was Premier. Provincial Treasurer, Provincial secretary. Minister of Educati , Minister of Health. Administrator of Old Age Pensions which our Government. gave our people. and Administrator of the Motor Vehicle Act for the modest salary of 04,000. What do we find today? The work which I did is now being done by this spend- thrift Government by five men. lion. J.W. Jones. Hon. W.E. Dar- by, Hon. 1''. A. Large, I-Ion. J.W. Arsenault. and Hon. A.W. Math- cson, and it is costing the Province over four times as much. No won- der our debt goes up yearly by leaps and bounds. "Let us glance again at the rec- ord. The Stewart-M Millan Gov- ca reduced th debt in 1926, increased it only 0428.000. but against that we got a judgment on our claims against Canada in 1936 for 21.5 millions of dollars paying at the rate of 596 interest our sub- sidy of 3125.000. yearly. The slew- art - MacMillan Government in 1931-1005. increased the debt from 1931-1935 one and a half million but in 1934 secured anothe Juds- ment against Canada of 3 million dollars paying an annual subsidy of 8150.000. yearly. This Judgment of 3 millions was just twice our debt increase. This was not bad for the Conservative Government which now in Premier Jones opinion is not fit to be trusted with reins of power. In my humble opinion any G...-. V a would be an improve- ment on his. Wartime Agreement "'I'he war sgreemsnt made by the Campbell Government with the Federal Government was another great loss to this Pi-ovnce. The Fed- eral Government wanted control of four major taxation fields. which they got but no explanation has ever been offered for throwing the E E 9 i 3 E sm,ooo and the White Corninlulon subsidyiof siao,ooo. or 1.175.000. sub- tenement IMIIIIIII h ' UI5.I investaieal. need entirely saying, "it wg. om- moded, worn out and useless, and was to be replaced by s new form- ulae of the late Prime Minister King", evidently that formulae if ever used did not help us any. There has always been great sec. retry about the Jones Government briefs and arguments on claims. of course it would not be wise to let the P '” get any knowledge Hiiioiil them. being as we are, not fit to entrust with Govemmentsl administration. Anisxlng Spectacle "But the last session brought a. wonderful and amusing event. The cuTtain was lifted by Mr. William Hughes, who was Provincial Treas- urer and who was cited by Premier Jones as a superman until he re- signed from the Government and has stated in the Legislature that he would not return to the Jones Government until the Premier "Ii-Upped his 1 proper and uncon- stitutional acts", which he did spe- cify. Mr. Hughes stated that he was only able to offer a crude im- 4 t fiscal statemen to the con- ference. He claimed credit for the 5100.000 over the minimum of 2 millions by means of an esculatnr clause which if not inserted would leave our minlrnum at 82,000.00) in- stead of 02,900,000 for the next term beginning 1952. "Mr. Hughes admits his fiscal statement was crude and imper- fect. which I think is true, because the important item of Federal In- come Tax taken from P. E. 1., now amounting to over 354 millions was not taken into account. Mr. Hughes tried to get the Government to start early on a new brief, which would take months. but his services were not secured. "If the Liberals wanted a solid. logical, well prepared brief on our claims they should have taken l-I.F. MaoPhee's brief before the White Commission. which produced re- sults of 00,000,000 as a Judgment and kept the door open to deal further with our just and unsatis- fied olalms and that electors is our only hope. Canada owes this money. The terms of Confedcr...:.... were not fair and they have not been fulfilled. The Conservative party on three different occasions have proved their value to the amount of 'liA millions. Elect a Conservative Government and they win go on with the Job of getting our claims further recosnlaed. Labour's Grievances "This large constituency of Char- lottetown and Royalty does not owe much to the Jones Govem- ment. The labouring man of Char- lottetown do not owe the present Government much especially when they recall that this Government outlawed la a'few yell!

Evidently the Federal Government does not think much of the Maritimes. "A change in both Governments would help us. Our platf offers a splendid ” for farmers sons to get properly started as good farmers. Our Agriculturlsts don't owe much to either Federal or Pro- vincial Governmsnts except added disabilities in getting excess to markets. How much has increased freight rates cost farmers? Now hanging as a threat is the proposal to out out the subsidies on western grain coming into the Province. "Another sad episode was the "Eskimo" experiment. It cost the Province many thousands of dol- lars and its worst effect has been breaking down those friendly feel- ings between Newfoundland and the Island which are absolutely essen- tial to success in our mutual trade. 'I'cachers' Salaries "In the field of education some progress has been made, but teach- ers should receive higher salaries and the example of Charlottetown is a good one to follow. The in- crease should be based largely on experience and qualifications. 1 can't appriove of the method of consolidation which has been used in this large constituency. It may be said. there was a voluntary vote. but I am afraid rate payers were not fully aware of what they were doing. and perhaps trustees did not realize the great financial burden they had to assume, but in any case a great hardship has been in- flictqd on many rate payers. A lump in yearly school taxes of over 85096 is too much of a. burden on anyone in this day of taxes. "The only things were are sure of under the Jones Government is taxes, debt, and death. During my regime as First Minister of Educa- tion. I built the Prince of Wales College secured 88,000 from the Carnegie Commotion to endow the Chair of social y and Economics, thus raising P. W. C. to the stand- ard of 9. full Junior College. added an additional year for Teacher Training in order to turn out teachers better qualified. As Min- ister I established grades ll-and I2 in the Summersidc High school and established our magnificent lib- rary system with headquarters in P. W. C. and 26 branches through- out ths province. The endowed chair and the library system cost this Province nothing. It was a gift I received from the great Carnegie Corporation, and it was the great- est boon given to education in our history. "The great spendthrift Depart- ment of Public works, reached its pinnacle of notoriety in 1047 when the Minister. l-Ion. Mr. Barbour boasted in the following session of spendinghalf a million dollars to win the election. while Mr. Bar- bour was Minister, he cut the Pub- lic Works report to s. useless. value- less report. because no one can find out who worked on roads or br dges and to get any informa- tion. A questton must be uked, for instance as to who worked on the roads in a certain: district, their names and what they were paid. and this information is most in- teresting to all rural voters, who would like to know how many minors, even school children, have been paid for road work. several times in answer to such questions. no answer was ever given to the position. As the Minister said. " would take several stenograph- era several days to prepare the answer." This is a glaring example of how information is denied and Dltressed and the orgy of reck- less expenditure goes on. Trans-Canada Highway "Again we have the uncertainty and lack of information about the sl0,000.000. Trans Canada Eiliiway. Very little information re its loca- tion, no unormatlon re two or three 0,100”, who plan evidently is to tell the opposition and voters little or nothing.

We will co-operate fully with the Maritime Electric Company. In 1048 the External Auditors emphasized a state of affairs un- Provincial Government that the opposition had long sus- pected and often tried to expose. I refer to the wonderful career of the Fisherman's Loan Board - Mat- ters were so bad in this regard that the external auditors refused to have anything to do with it. They said that 243,000 was outstanding and due this wonderful career of the Fisherman's Loan Board. "Evidence in Court showed how bad matters were, so that finally a Commissioner. Judge Desnocl-ies, was appointed. Then the Govern- ment was represented by the Dep- uty Attorney General. Then a new mode of Court procedure was in- augursted; no subpoenas were is- sued, but invitations through the press were given the people to at- tend the Commissioner's Court. Is it. not wonderful -. an invitation to attend Court. I suppose the reason so few attended was the invitations were not gill: edged. Judge Des- R.oches's findings were in the hands of the Government on March 1st. "We have heard so often about the wonderful Government prim.- ing bureau, often used for propa- ganda. purposes. Either hy design or intention, it took nearly four weeks before the Members of the Legislature received them. and then too late to deal with them. The Opposition knew there were irreg- ularities, evidencc in Court proved it. The Judge found there were no proper regulations or orders-iii- council re the matter.

Mayor McDonald's Appeal "I did not intend to make any reference to the Liberal candidates in Chsdottetown and Royalty which I have had the great honor to represent for 24 years. but Mayor MacDonald's speech, as it appears in this morning's Guardian, is. to say the least. amusing and childish. "I-Ila argument is that Charlotte- town is forgotten by the Govern- ment. because it is not represent- ed by some like himself. In 1936- ms, the dark ages, Charlottetown had a. Liberal representative. Can the Mayor point out any wonder- ful thing that was done by them for the City. From 1943-47. Charlotte- town was represented by the pres- ent Governor, lion. T. W. L. Prowse, a splendid representative, and he and I worked together for the best interests of this City. I am quite sure the present Gova- t will pay as much attention to the pres- ent mplesentatlves of the City as they pay to anyone else. so Mayor MacDonald draws the long bow when he says there is no one in a position. at the present time. to talk for the City.
