Canadian N “ ' Railways, and I understand that an Order-in-Oouneil has been passed, just continuing the $40,000, and that theer is no possibility of an increase being passed. . HON. MR. STEWART: B0 that e0 turned down; or does my hon. friend know whether the matter of"the ap- plication was dealt with at all? PREMIER LEA: The only inform- ation I have is that there is no pos- sibility of a further increase being passed. MR. SHARFS CONTENTION ' MR. SIIELTON SHARP: We have been told that owing to the reduct- ion in the automobile licenses this Province will lose somewhere in the vicinity of $20,000 to $23,000 in tax- es. The legislation now in committee means that the country districts will be deprived of a revenue amounting to perhaps $10,000. We find in look- ing over the incorporated cities and towns in this Province that we have eight: Charlottetown, Summerside, lfensington, Georgetown, Alberton, Borden, Souris, and Montague with a total population of about 20,000 as against 88,000 in the Province. On a per capita. basis that would mean that the incorporated cities and towns would receive approximately 10 per cent of this total grant. In addition to that, as I understand it, when the distribution was made there was a grant given in lieu of railway ‘ax- ation and at that time Nova Scotia ilnfl New Brunswick dealt generous- ly with this Province and we "ere given more than we were entitled to rue re on a per capits basis. ‘That money has been used in the general revenue of the Province for the ac- tual carrying on of the different de- parnhents. The city, towns and vii- ltgu. have received in thr- wav their prrnol-tion of the amount Now you are going to give them a grant in which 68,000 people of this Province ,may not share. You are going to dis- tribute among 20.000 people in those incorporated towns and villages $10,- 000; then you are going to distrib- ute $30,000 the balance of the grant, among the 88,000 people of the Plo- vince. The 20,000 persons that you originally distributed the $10,000 a- mong are going to share in the re- ntaining $30,000. In other words, the people of the incorporated city and towns are going to get two grants, one as citizens of an incorporated town and the other as citizens of the- Province. Charlottetown, as I undo:- stand it, will give to any industrial organization certain concessions for the reason that an industrial plant brings a certain amount of revenue indirectly into the city. Now, is not the railway property and the railway far as the City application is con- , corned. that has. practically been DRAMA ,“St.Franoss of liome" Under Auspiees of THE LITTLE FLOWER GUILD at ROCKFORD SQUARE HALL WSDNESDAY, MAY 20th. Tickets-M Cont! and 35 Cents. .. mind those things the Government. in order to avoid the difliculty ol dealing with many incorporated towns and m ‘ ‘ "ties, decided to glve a block sum to each Province and allow each Province to deal with the matter as they saw fit. So under these conditions this Province was given an amount of $40,000. I for- got to remark that this Government collects no taxes from the real es- tate of Char‘ ‘ town or Summer- side. It was always supposed that the city, twona and villages would be allowed to tax their own real es- tate. Is it just that those towns should have the right to their prop- er share of taxation on that real es- tate owned by the railway within their town limits, that they would otherwise have if that property were privately owned? I think the case stands out very clear and distinct and that as a matter of justice we should remit to the towns and in- corporated villages their proper share of railway taxation. PREIVIIEZR. LEA: My hon. friend has pointed to the fact that the res- idents of Charlottetown and the in- corporated towns would share in the balance of the grant. Let us analyze all the taxes ‘and see how that ar- Ellhlelll lllplies. My hon. friend says a number of employees on the rail- way are residents of Chariot ‘ ss and Summersido. ‘Ihese men's in- comes are all known to us and they are all assessed, and that contribut- es to the treasury of the Province a considerable sum. Then there is the amusement tax collected in this city. It is collected by this Government and it is distributed throughout the Province. I am not going to raise the question of the justice of that tax, but I have always thought that the cityhad strong reasons to object to paying that to the Provin- cial Government. The Forum that was established this year in the city paid this Government a considerable tax. We collect income through var- ious other taxes, from the city, but we concede them the right to col- lect the property tax,_because they protect that property through their police force and their fire depart- ment. I submit further that the res- idents of Charlotteto as contribute very generously to the treasury for the reason that there is a larger number of automobiles owned in the city, on which of course, they pay I SAVE and SHAVE with SAFETY 39c tube ‘ , $1.00 aurgsm , fr‘ . 0f G ll l e t t s B l a d e s New Type LANGLOIS m‘ TY" t _ LAVENDER 8 7c - SIIAVING pm“; 6 for 2 5 c KLENZO CREAM nssnas SHAV.

Railways in this form: that is, that by reason of the fact that additions had been made to railway property, and that the trafilc on the railway lines in this Province had increased between 200 and 300 percent, we in this Province were entitled to a con- siderable percentage of increased taxation. I have vmade application for that. , - lion. Mr. Siweart: I understand to Ottawa and waited upon the Min- istcr of Railways with regard to this very matter. I-lae my hon. friend any information as to the outcome of that interview? Premier Lea: I have just the in- formation given to me vrrballv. and I have a copy of the brief. Hon. Mr. Stewart: You Zlad no communication with the Department of Railways with regard to it Premier Lea: Not directly. Hon. Mr. Stewart. I quite agree with my hon. .l'i"l'ifl that the rail- way property Vnl\i!"l0il in this city has increased enormously m the last few years, especially by the cun- struction of the Canadian National Hotel. I understand that the dele- gation from the City was not asking that they recetve anything out of this grant which has already been given to the Government, but that _they should receive an additional a- mount in lieu of the increased rall- ,way property in the City. If the De- ‘Diff-MODS of Railways were to pay phsrlottetcwn over and above what ‘we are getting here, that wodld af- fect very materially the amount that this Government would contribute to the municipalities.

In addition to that, every rooming and afternoon there is un- loaded from the railway cars in the city and towns a country population that comes in without any cost to the city and town, and these people spend their money there and in the even- ing are returned to the country vil- lages from which they come. The ser- :vlce that is rendered by the Canad- ian National Railways to these vil- lages is absolutely free of cost to the city and the incorporated towns. The country people get the service but it is a service for“ which they pay. If we have freight coming to the rail- way stations we pay the freight; if we travel on the railway we pay our fare; but the city and incorporated towns get that country population delivered at their doors, every day, absolutely free of cost to them. There fore I claim that the city and towns have an advantage today over the rural districts. They have an equal share in the distribution of the $40,- 000 from railway taxation and they should not be given the privilege of receiving 010,000 addition at the ex- pense of the rural communities. MR. W. H. DENNIS: There is a certain amount of reason in the con- tention of the junior member from the Second District of Prince, but there are’, “ s' circumstances in this case. There were many branch railways in Canada that were not government owned railways, and that were paying taxes to cities, incor- pcrated towns and municipalities in which their properties were situat- ed. Those lines were absorbed by the Canadian National Railways and the Government continued to pay those taxes, that had formerly been p-rld by the railways while they were com- pany-owned lines. After‘ they were absorbed and became Ocvtrnment- owned lines the Government realis- ed that they had a right to continue to pay the taxes that had farmer's‘ been paid. If that was the ease, why shouldnt‘ the incorporated towns, municipalities and Provinces through which the Government railways ran leeeive a certain amount of taxes hon. friend tell me why this bill has been left so late? He said this was his first year as leader of the Gov- rlsnent. Thai. is quite true, but he has been Provincial Treasurer and a member of the Government since 1921} PREMIER LEA: I have not been occupying the position of Premier. l-lorr. MIR- swrzwanr: But my hon. friend ranked next to the Pre- mier and he, shared in the respon- sibility of all that the Government did or neglected to do. . PREMIER LEA: That may be, but this makes It different. HON. MR. SIEWART: There is no answer, then, to law question? (Prmeier Lea did not reply.) HON. MR. STEWART: Very well. That is what the people want to know. DR. MCMILLANS ATTITUDE DR. MCMILLAN: I wish to say a few words in favor of the propos- ition of giving to the city and in- corporated towns a share of this tax. 1 have advocated it before when our own Government was in power, and I think the Premier made almost my speech before he sat down, on this. particular point. I suppose it would not be safe for me to say that I com- pelled him to do this, by keeping after him year after year, putting question after question on the order r , rs. PREMIER LEA: That didn't make a bit of diflerence, although the hon. member was certainly carrying out his duty by keeping at it. DR. MOMIILAN: My questions had no bearing? PREMEI. LEA: No. HON. MR. STEWART: You wouldnt‘ go as far as the Minister of Public Works went the other day when he said you were afraid of what we might say if you didn't do it? Panama ws: This‘ was indep- end ‘ oi’ criticism whatever. DR. MOMILLAN: There is noth- ing in this for political purposes at all, I suppose? PRIIMIER LEA: Oh no. It was just a matter of justice. DR. MCMILLAN: Then it is toe from the Government? Bearing inhadlhatyaahavebasnparpctraillll eager hockey managers of New! an injustice for three years. PREMIER LEA: I didn't. DR. MOMILLAN: As a member oi’ the Government you will have to take your share of that responsibility. If this is a matter of justice now, it has been a matter of justice for the past three o!‘ four years. That ls the reas- on that I was putting my questions’ at every session of the Legislature, to bring out that point. However, I am glad that the Premier has coli- descended to legislate in the inter-l esta of justice, even at this lute date; l and I am in favor of it. HON. MR. STEWART: certainly recommend that legislation such as this should be brought in at the proper time. I would , ATTEMPTED DEFENSE MR. GORDON: Perhaps we are not the only ones to reduce the rev- enues of the Province. Perhaps we can look back to the reduction in the land tax and income lax. Pos- sibly that might have been a gesture too, so we will call them both gest- uros. HON. MR. STEWART: My hon. friend's recollection is not very ao- curate or he would not have mon- tioned that. lie should know very well the difference. The difference is that this promise was made in 1927, in an clecflon campaign. They are just in the same position now, so far as revenue is concern- ed, as they were then. And that promise was contained in the plat- form on which they wont to the country. PREMIER LEA: That is conceded. HON’. MR. STEWART: They were in just as good position io imple- ment that promise when they as- sumed office as they are today. The revenue has not increased- Our pro- flile, on the other hand, was made on the contingency that we would get a subsidy increase from Ottawa. We got a subsidy increase oi‘ $125,- 000 and that moment we imple- mented the Womise we had made. That is the difference. (Applause) ,suc the complete LEAF PLAYERS GET S270 EACH FROM PLAY-OFF!
