ileretofore, as far as this riding is concerned, the con-
troversy has been carried on mainly through the press.
The Opposition press has been challenged over and over
again as to the accuracy oi’ its statements and over and
over again it has repeated its charges without a scintilla
of proof. It has contradicted tlte iliidiiigs of experienced
bunkers on the Public Accounts; it has shouted “extra-
vagance and waste" while being repéalellly Challenged i0

of its cry, “ extravagance and waste." Citizens at to-niZl\l'5

in view of Mr J. II. Palmer‘s denial, in Saturday's
#S7 Patriot. of the accurac of the Guardian’s report of the
illl. ~ 1- y
,ii _ lg Pownal meeting, especially of Mr Palmer’s insulting attack
_‘ upon Premier Matliiesoii, we yesterday called upon Mr
\'uthaniel Gay, who was chairman of the meeting. Mr
Ga) autliorises us to state that our report, in so far as
Mr Palnier's attack upon the Premier was concerned, was
- substantially correct; iliat in fact ittwas mild in comparison
,L_ with Mr l’aliner's remarks. lie (Mr Gay) further volun-
teered the statement that he was surprised that Mr Palmer
` , > slionld descend to such personalities as he indulged in on
that occasion, not only with reference to Premier Mathie-
~:I'?‘ son, but iii other respects, which we regarded as too
contgniptible to refer to in our report. This, we trust,
settles once for all the question of accuracy and veracity
as between Mr Palmer and the Guardian.
Mr Palmer may have repented after he lost his head
at the meeting and said things which a gentleman would
not have said; he may have been in a truly repentant
mood when he penned the denial which appeared in the
Patriot, but the gentleniaiily course would have been, not
to u-fny. but to publicly apologise. not only to Premier
Matliiesoii, whom such an attack could not possibly injure.
but to the ladies and gentlemen whom lie insulted by
descending to such contemptible conduct before them.
lt is not too late yet to apologise, but it is certainly too
lute to persist in denial.

to be done; and the Government is at present working in

ing out schemes of assistance and defen¢e_
What would be the result of ii change of Government
at such a juncture?
Nothing less than deplorable.
_ The Grits have chosen as their leader the most notorious

They have selected as their chief representative ii man
who failed utterly to maintain the reputation of the lslaiid
i f0l‘ l10Spll=llily. and who declined to issue invitations to

They have given the first place in their councils to
a man who has taken no active part in ony of the
patriotic movements in the island, and who refused, though
given the opportunity. to address a recruiting meeting in
his native town of Alberton since _he retired from Govern-
ment House.
Does this loyal and patriotic Province desire to have
as its chief Minister of the Crown a man of such calibre
and antecedents?
_ 'rue noe 'riix
A good deal has been heard at election meetings about
the Dog Tax. and it is evident that some people do not
understand its history and effect. while the Grit candidates
never fail to make party capital out of it.
The history of this tax is as follows: ln the report of the
Liberal Commissioner of Agriculture. Mr John Richards, for
1911, page 40, the following appears: g
“There is not much change in the sheep industry.
Reports have appeared in the press from time to time
of injury done to flocks by dogs. and I am of the opinion
that a atrlngont Dog Tax Act would be in the interests of
agriculture."
At a meeting of the Central Farmers institute in the
Market Hall in the following year, the following resolution
by Rollo Bay Institute was adoptedz- '
S. A. MCD
_

onald
" Resolved that ii tax of not less than( $1.00 be placed
in all male dogs and not less than 83.00 on females."
That is the history of the Dog Tax. Will the Grits
repeal it? .
As to the allocation of the funds derivul'~h‘om the
tax, at the instance of various institutes it was resolved

‘ As we showed yesterday, the Liberals raised the ale
forpayment of Road Tax to 70 years. The present Govern-
lment, then in opposition, opposed the seventy years limit
and proposed sixty-live. Afterwards, with the prospect of
an election in view, the Grits reduced the age to sixty.
ii drop of ten years, whereas the Conservatives stood for
the reasonable age limit between theseiextremes. ~
lu all other provinces property is taxed for road pur-
tpone without regard to age, and the age limit only exempts
‘those who have no taxable property. 1
It would be interesting to know from the Grits what
taxea they would readjust, and how.
The present leader of the Opposition sued more farmers
_for taxes than any Provincial Secretary in the Inlaiid's
'history. -
Does he propose to return to those evil days?
; THE ELASTIC PATRIOT
it has been said, and truly, that the Patriot may be
'convicted of misrepresentation to the extent of "wlpin§
the floor” with it, and that it will bob up serenely on
‘another mat and repeat the same misrepresentations wltli
‘as much sung froid as if the falsehood were original and
Zuttered for the first time. It is characteristic of the
[Patriot that it has no regard for facts, that when proved
wrong in one place, it repeats the wrong somewhere else.
Now that the election is nearing people want proof.
The Mathieson Government has its audited accounts to
,offer as proof of its economical administration, and the
people will not accept the Patrlotls charge that the audi-
tors did not know their business.
The Mathieson Government has its record of three
and a half years of successful administration to point to
and no amount of faultiinding can persuade the people that
time during the twenty years of Liberal rule with its annual
deficits and unceasing cries of poverty.
MR. ROGERS AND WAR AID
The Patriot has taken a week to explain and embellish
the new Liberal Leader's manifesto. When it has finished
its readers are as wise as when it began. The Guardian
has already given in ii nut-shell the Liberal programme
and what it implies. ln view of the Patriot’s attempted
interpretation, however, we may throw a little»more light
on the subject. '
The new Liberal Leader opens with ii note of patriotism
and promises to do all that he can in aid of his King and
country.
With a record ot’ disloyal utterances and conduct he-
hind him uiiequalled in Canada, how can Mr Rogers
expect his protestations to be accepted in good faitli?
Would one of the military whom he has so often abused
and sneered at have any confidence in Mr Rogers' leader-
ship? V
The Government has pledged its support to the utter-
most limit of men and resources and the people may tr'us`t
the Mathieson Government to fulfill its pledge to the
letter, if need be. '
Already the Government has rallied more men to the
°°l0“f5 ln Dl'0l>ortion to population than any of the other
Maritime Provinces.
Already the Government has contributed in cash:-

oi' soldiers ' . . . . . . .

Aid to soldiers _    . _ 3,847 ‘
Aid to Army Field Service . .. . . . 4,435
'rotsi ...  . .  $23,282 ‘
This is Only the beginning. Other aid is under con-
sideration with the War Office.
The Government is arranging other schemes for the
lltlitectlon and defence of the Island, and everything _is
bring done in harmony with the Dominion Government
and War Ofllce. ~ i

_ S “lid flflldlusted it at ii cost of $3,000 to obtain an
increase oi’ $8,000:
They refused, however, to make a readjustment of the
taxes on Companies, etc, so that they would pay an in-
crease commensurate with the increase on the farmers.
It was Premier Matliieson who put the companies on the
same footing as farmers in regard to readjustment of
taxation.
lt was Premier Matliieson who put the rich. who can
afford to pay taxes, all on the same footing. Under the
Grit Government income tax was collected from some in
full and from the favoured ones only in part or not at all.
We have had several instances brought to our notice by
our own subscribers where they were asked for the first
time in twenty years to pay income tax when the Mathie-
son Government took office.
. In 1911 the income tax collected was $8,586.99 \
in 1914 ‘ ,, ,, ,, $14,916.27 `
ln other words there was a 75 per cent. increase in
collections of income tax from people best able to bear
being taxed. ' _ _,
Under the Grits fox tax was collected under the name
of income tax at one and a half per cent. from such of our
own people as were not favoured by the Government, but
from outaldora none waa collected.
The system of one per cent. ,on all, introduced by the
Mathleson Government has been honoatly levied and lm-
partlally collected.
