GRITS AND AGE LIMIT
The Grit politicians, who are making a bid for the si'll\°
pathy as well as the .suffrages (I0 SKY nothing of the suf-
fering) of the people, made a great howl about the Ma-
thieson Government setting the age limit for road taXHll0¥\
at 65 years. They conveniently forget to mention that in
1901 they themselves set the age limit at '10, as mai' be
read in section 36 of the Public Roads Act of that YGBF.
where the limits are specifically laid down as “between
the ages of twenty-one and seventy years.” They con-
veniently forget also to mention the fact that Premier Ma-
tllieson, then leader of the opposition, and all his fellow-
Conservative members strenuously 0DD0B€d *him “fgmg
that the limit was too high. When the wily Grits sawlthe
storm approaching which later engulfed them they at a
subsequent session, went to the opposite extreme and
placed the limit at 60. This also Mr. Mathieson and his
colleagues opposed as being extreme in the other direction,
but the Grits had the vote and they carried it as they had
carried the former. '
At s. later stage during their lingering death-struggle
which continued for a number of years they had their
plans laid for a general increase in land taxes. The Pat-
riot, then as now, trimming its sails for the storm, began
to make the farmers thankful for what they were about to
receive by informing them that there were some 15,000 oi'
them and that really they were paying very little, only
about a tenth of what the more fortunate farmers of On-
tario were paying. lf they paid a little more it wouldn't
hurt them and they would be shown what the "progres-
sive," “economic" and otherwise adjectived Grits would do
with the tax-and to it! But the farmers saw the game
and when they had finished with the Grits at the next elec-
tion there were only two of that party left and so the
farmers escaped taxation.
Now that the province has an overflowing treasury and
business has been placed on a business basis these same
Grits have the gall to ask to be given another chance!
Whutdo the farmers think of it?
__.____.Q._._.________
THE INTEREST TEST
The Patriot tries to escape from the dilemma of compar-
ing the amount of interest from year to year as a true
indication of the amount of the Provincial Debt, by claim-
ing that the interest of the Sinking Fund should not be
considered in such a calculation. That is a truly childish
contention. The Sinking Fund is so much money laid by
every year against the debt, which is equivalent to paying
so much off. Instead of being paid to the bond holders.
it is invested and in this case it happens to be invested at
the same rate of interest as the bonds bear. Hence any-
one can see that were it paid on the bonds they would be
reduced to the extent of such payments and consequently
the interest charged would be reduced as well.
Thus it will be seen at a glance that to find the not
interest we pay annually, we must. to be correct, deduct
the interest we receive from the interest we pay.
The Patriot goes further in its folly. lt says that there
was $10,126.65 of unpaid interest according to Mr. Bin-
ning's report. This is not correct. Mr. Binning does not
say “unpaid interest," he says "accrued interests,” quite a
different matter, although not worth considering so far as
it affects the fairness of the comparison. But if the
accrued interest is to be reckoned we may observe that
Messrs. Rossborough and Dench found that in the two
months and two days following the close of the financial
year, Sept. 30, 1911, the Liberal Government had to pay
$12,613.18 of interest on the debt and leave $12,084.89 aa
accrued and unpaid Interest besides.
These figures speak for themselves. They show that
a large amount of interest was carried over into the next
financial year after the close of the last Liberal year, 1911,
which the present Government had to pay.
As a further proof that the interest charge is going down
the estimate for 1915 as calculated by Mr. Newberry, whose
estimates are always very reliable, is $37,900 against
$39,000 for 1914, which was a slight underestimate. Our
statement in Wednesday and Friday was fair and quite
correct. The debt is being reduced in the _proportion
stated since 1911 and the interest charge is melting down
as well. '
“A in-zooasoii uonsrslcir' »
ln the heat of a political address at Pownal, ex-Premier
Palmer made personal retisctions upon Premier Mathioson.
After reading part of what he said in next morningIg,,Guar_-
dian, he is chagrlned, but instead of taking the manly
course ami sending an apology, he immediately writes to
the Patriot that "he made no personal attack on Premier
Mathieson.” The people who heard Mr. Palmer's virulent~out-
burst must be more surprised at the disclaimer than they
were at the attack. Does Mr. Palmer deny that hedon-
cribed Premier Mathieson as " a beggar on horseback?"
Does he mean to insinuats that that had referenco`.te’ths
Premler's office and not to the Premier personally? To
what did he allude ll' ho referred to the office? But ws are
satisfied that the reference was personal and not imper-
sonal, and for that reason he cannot hope to escape the
consequences of his ill-judged and ill-conceived attack. Like
Mr. Bentley, Mr. Palmer tries to cover up the malignity
of his action by stating that he holds Mr. Mathieson per-
sonally "in the highest respect." Bah!
` "When devils will the blackest sin put on, _
They do suggest at tlrst with heavenly shows."
The essence of Mr. Mathieson's offending, as Mr. A. A.
McLean pointed out, is tirst, that he is a farmsr’s son, and
second, that he has succeeded in breaking through the
aristocratic ring which held the Premiership a private pre-
serve. Mr. Palmer -may try and wriggle out of the
predicament the best he can, but nothing hs inay now say
W  ‘ FARMERS’ SONS_  Til-E_-ELECT
What right has a farmers son to aspire to the Premier-
ship and keep the "blue-blooded" Palmer! out in the cold?
Wliy should Democratic Conservatives, rise and put
aristocratic Grits in the shade? ._Why sl1ouldn't the hard- _
working farmer keep his boys. at thé plough instead of
.educating them to enter into competition with the so~called
elect of Charlottetown?
We are not surprised at Mr. Palm.er's chagrin. 1-ie was
the last of the autocratic aristocrata to hold otlice as Prem;
ier, and the last Premier to run the Province into debt. He
and his party' are likely bo`remain out in the cold until they
repent in sack cloth and ashes. But while we are not sur-
prised at his chagrin we are more than surprised at the
lack of wisdom which dictated the public outburst. There
'is no room in public life for those who wantonly and
wilfully indulge fn platform personalities. and Mr. Palmer
NYY Public Hsliday. the Morning Guardian will not lwlmerely writes himself down a failure by pursuing such a
course.
Farmers and farmers' sons will not soon forget the Grit
sneer at a "beggar on horseback."
oun“'rlturnruL'*dmoursnronanr
_ How is this for truth and reliability?
The Patriot discussing the unexpected appearance of
'Premier Mathieson at Vernon River meeting says:
"At Sourls, on Wednesday morning. lvlr. Hughes saw
,Mr. Mathleson and Mr. A. L. Fraser, Ex-M. P., leave bi’
itrain- (not the regular train) and Mr. Hughes knew per-
fectly well where the'y were bound for, and knew that as
Mr. Fraser was a native of Vernon River he would likely
speak." ` ,
Premier Mathieson was not near_the railway on Wed-
nesday and did not take train to Vernon River. He was
int Red House on' Tuesday and drove thence to Vernon
- River on Wednesday.
crrr vs. couN"i‘nr culinlu-:N1
This question is suggested by the attitude adopted by
the Grit orators in Queen's County. These people
mostly from Charlottetown are going about the country and
saying if they are returned -they will cut the school curri~
culum in the country down to the three fundamentals,
reading. writing and arithmetic. That is, the Grits con-
sider that farmers' children are not entitled to the higher
branches of education necessary nowadays to fit them for
the battle in life. The Grits, if they were to get back to
power, would institute a retrograde movement in educa-
tion and deprive the country children of all benefit from
education except, what the fundamentals or .rudiments
provide. Let the farmers ask these city orators whether
they would be satisfied to have their children learn
nothing at the public schools but reading, writing and
arithmetic? If not, why not? Why should there be one
curriculum for Mr. Palmer's children and another for the
farmers! children, who are providing the means whereby
lawyers “enjoy” a precarious existence?
We tell the farmers what this policy implies. lt im-
plies that the city Grits are Jealous of the rise and com-
petition of the children from the country. They don't
want the .country boys and girls to come into Charlotte-
town and compete with their boys and girls. No, they say,
let us keep all our snug city billets for ourselves and our
children, and let the country people keep their boys and
girls in ignorance, then they will be satisfied to remain
hewers of wood and carriers of water to our children of
the city when they attain to man's estate. Let the Pal-
mers and the Grits lord it over the farmers of the next
generation as they have been doing in the present genera-
tion, and the best way to do this is to keep the farmers'
children without education except in the fundamentals of
reading. writins and arithmetic. - ~
VERY SUSPICIOUS
lt is quite possible that Mr Bentley is sincere in his
temperance convictions. No one will doubt that he is not
only strictly temperate in his personal habits, but thathe
would gladly see the last vestlge of the liquor traltic
banished from the province, provided he himself suffered
no inconvenience or loss thereby. But when he speaks
of "my friend, the present Premier," acknowledging “ the
many and great benefits obtained for this province by the
Premier and those associated with him in his Government
during the past four years," and then proceeds to stab his
"friend" in the back, and becomes the hireling of those
who are campaigning against his "friend," his sincerity
comes under very grave suspicion and the “axe” that he
is so anxious to grind becomes painfully evident.
NOTES
The London Daily Mail says: At every critical moment
of the great struggle for human freedom Russia has given
ungrudging aid. W'hen the German hosts in full tide of
victory were streaming into France and pouring, ae it
seemed, in irresistible flood upon Paris, a bold Russian
thrust into Prussian 'territory. compelled the enemy to
divert troops to the East. The Russian force suffered total
disaster at Tannenberg late in August after tive fearful
days of battle-abut its work was done and France was
saved ~
