MR. WARBURTON AND WAR TAXES
Yesterday the Patriot reviews Mr A. B. Warburton’s
interminable speech at Bonshaw ten days ago. According
to our contemporary the speech occupied eight of its
valuable columns, and as it further informs us this was
only a synopsis of what Mr Warburton said, we must
conclude that the genial Grit must have “rivetted the
attention of his bearers " for four hours. An eight column
speech at the rate of delivery of Mr Warburton would
loccupy two hours, and allowing a conservative condensation
'of titty per cent. for the synopsis-we have the four hours
oration. Unfortunate Bonsbawltes to have had such an
iintliction-apart altogether from the oratlous of Mr Hughes
and Mr Sinclair!
One of the grounds taken by the Laurier Opposition
lin moving a vote of want of confidence in the Government
‘élast session, and attempting to hamper the war measures
of the country, was that the special war revenue for which
lprovision was then being made, was intended to make
iup for reckless and wasteful expenditures apart from the
,war. They said that this was so because the Government
iwas borrowing one hundred millions for war expenditures.
Their argument was that because the Government resorted
to special taxation. aside from the hundred million war
loan, therefore the special taxation was not for war pur-
poses.
Mr Warburton repeated these arguments in his speech,
and the Patriot in commending them says: “ Except for
the interest on war loans, the Canadian war expenditure
is defrayed out of borrowed money. The taxes, while
falsely called ‘war taxes’ are simply taxes to cover or
partly cover the Govemment’s waste and extravagance
'altogether clear of the war."
I Let our readers think it over. The more you think
about it the less you will be able to understand it. Nobody
has ever yet been able to understand the Liberal argument
on any basis of logical reasoning. However, that was the
_proposition of the Opposition in the House of Commons
and it has been adopted by Mr Warburton and the Patriot,
and it is quite as good as some others put forward by
the same men.
Now it so happens that the war expendtiures other than
those provided for in the war loans of this year and last
year, will take just about all the money raised from this
special taxation, on two items alone.
Nobody will say that interest on a war loan is not a
war outlay. If it is not, then of course there isn't any war
outlay: you are conducting the war on borrowed money
and the cost of this money is not a. war expenditure. It's
a pretty hard notion to swallow, even by the most willing
Grit.
The war loan last year amounted to fifty million dollars.
The war loan this year amounts to one hundred million
dollars.
l The interest on these borrowings will amount to six
millions and a half. purely and simply a war expenditure.
That is one item.
The Government has put into force it system of pensions
l
for Canadian soldiers. The most that Canada can do for
those heroes who stemmed the German tide at Langemarck
and have held the Huns ln check since then, is none too
much. The pension outlay is estimated at from four to
five millions. lf that lsn't a war expenditure, perhaps
Mr Warburton or the Patriot will tell us what it is, and
what a war expenditure il..
The war loan interest of six and a half millions and
the pension list of four to five millions, make it total of
ten and a. half to eleven and a half millions. The special
war revenue will be sufficient to cover that amount.
Events are proving the shallow stupiility of the position
lflkéll by the Opposition under Laurier last session, and
we are more than surprised that Mr Warburton and the
l°all'l°t lllW0 U0! Dl‘0lll9d bl' 7119111. But no. the dependents
of our.dead soldiers must be left out of account when
the Grits consider war expenditure. Our fallen heroes
count for nothing evidently when Grits start out to calcu-
late the cost of the war.

A In order to better understand the fundamental failure
.of Canadian Liberalism let us for a few moments take 1;
rapid survey of the political record of Sir Wlifrld Laurier.
;l;0°d11Y Sir Wilfrid poses as the champion of federation.
ut it was as the enemy of the federation of the scattered
Provinces of Canada that he first crossed the political
Blass- Ill the Dress and on the platform he arrayed his

projects. In this he merely followed ln the footsteps of

So much for Confederation. Let us tum over the page
ati; :ati what was the attitude of Sir Wllfrld Laurier on
Gamma e"P3"‘e“l- “Bfl°“°l Dl‘0lect. the construction of the
n ac tic Railway. When Liberal demsxogues rant

The Federal Department's report. covering the whole
dominion, is little, if any, more promising than that for
Prince Edward Island. In Nova Scotia and New Brunswick
the same weather conditions obtained as in Prince Edward
island, and the prospects for all the crops are generally
about the same as here.
ln Quebec the bay crop ls about ouethlrd less than
average, while most of the field and root crops are more
promising.
In Ontario the hay crop is light and uneven, grain and
hoed crops looking well and the fruit crop good.
In Manitoba growth was retarded by dry weather early
in the season and by cold weather later. Hay and corn
are backward.
In Saskatchewan there was considerable damage from
frosts, which killed corn, tomatoes and squash, retarded
potatoes and injured small fruits. There is no hay owing
to drought and all grain crops are suffering from drought.
ln Alberta conditions are reversed, all the crops looking
good, except in south-westem Alberta, where excessive
rains and cold weather retarded growth.
ln British Columbia fruit and field crops are good. clover
and alfalfa exceptionally heavy and hoed crops promising
well.
With this forecast before them our farmers will ba in a
position to judge with considerable accuracy what the
prospects are and what the market requirements are
likely to be.

SPREADING AN UNTRUTH
We regret to find that Mr Warburton and his hench-
mun, the Patriot, are lnsidiously spreading a report which
was officially denied in the House of Commons and re-
tracted by its originator. On February 15 Professor Adam
Sliortt. chairman ofthe Civil Service Commission, speaking
at ii Sunday meeting in Toronto, said 2,000 Civil Servants
had been dismissed since the present Government came
into power and added:
"Who took the place of the 2.000 servants who were
reported in the House the other day to have been dis-
missed from the service? Just 10,000."
In other words, Professor Shortt endeavoured to convey
the meaning that 10,000 men were employed to do the
work of those 2,000. The professor was taken to task in
the House for tlils statement and it was conclusively
proved that it was a gross fabrication which had been
formulated for political purposes, the professor being a
Grit appointee. The facts are that there were 2.000 dis-
missals and four thousand resignations, s. total of 6,000.
which left only 4.000 new appointments mostly due to the
development of the country and the extension of the
Government service. Each head of a department sub-
mitted statements showing how the increases were
accounted for, and not one of these individual appoint-
ments was challenged-except by Mr J. J. Hughes. When
Professor Shortt was interviewed on the subject he replied
that he had founded his charge on a newspaper report
and that he had no information about reslgnations. Pro-
fessor Shortt occupies a highly responsible position and
had no right to make the statement he did without accurate
information, and was justly and rightly taken to task for
lt. Notwithstanding this, Mr Warburton and thc Patriot
reiterate the false charge and go a step farther, stating
that the number of new appointments totalled 12.000-
2,000 more than Professor Shortt mentioned, and 8,000
more than the actual facts. A candidate who would
adopt such tactics has little chance of obtaining the
suffrages of honest and right thinking electors-as Mr
Warburton will find in due course.
