Continued Guardian. from yesterday's SECURITIES ACT the House went into committee with Mr. Barbour in the chair on an Act to amend an Act for the prevention of frauds in connection with the sale of securities. The promoter explained that the control of securities was a prob- lem which has developed to a great extent not only in legislat- ion but in administration, partic- ularly in the central and western provinces. It has beensaid that a sucker is born every minute and this was particularly true with regard to times of rising prosper- ity. In 1930 an Act had been pased to prevent frauds in sec- iirity sales. During the past year, at a Dominion-Provincial Confer- ence, the idea of a uniform com- pany law was discussed and it is hoped to have this legislation drafted by 1938. In the mean- time. the government feels it nec- essary to “put a few more teeth” in the existing legislation. Hon. Mr. LePage thought the legislation was timely. He refer- MRS.

Mr. Dennis introduced an Act to authorize the Lieutenant- Governor-in-Council to appoint a Commission to investigate and make recommendation coricernlng the milk producers and. milk con- siimers of the province. At 6 p.m. the House took recess until 8 o'clock. HON. MR. LCPAGE After recess: ‘ Resuming the budget debate. Hon. B. W. LePage, President of the Executive. Council. congratul- ated the Premier on his presenta- tion of the finances. The Gov- ernment "by strict economy in all i its branches, and by a systematic collection of all revenue" had re- duced the deficit on current ac- count from $376,000 in 1935 to 324.000 last year. It was gratifying to note the signs of general economic prosper- ity. Mr. IePage said. He thought it significant that periods of pros- perity shouid coincide with Liberal rule. Under Mr. Bennett's regime at Ottawa we had the vmrst de- pression that Canada has ever known. The same applied to the Conservative provincial administ- ration, which he charged with "great financial bungling" in con- nection with bond issues. causing a loss of "at least 8400.000". also in the replacement of the Prince of Wales College and Falconwood Hospital on an extravagant scale. "Another demonstration of incap- acity" was shown in the building of the Borden highway without proper subgrading, he said. The road was “entirely too narrow"; it had been laid “without any grav- el" and without proper back-slop- ing. He approved of paved highways and believed the time was coming when the province would have to pave the greater part of its high- ways. Sub-grading preparationwas the first requirement. The Rus- tlco highway was cited as amodel example. New Brunswick. he not- ed. had discardcd all its gravelled roads and was building hardsur- faced roads. This Government be- lieved in hardsurfacing but they were going to go about it in a careful and proper fashion. Mr. LePage maintained that in oiine tax and the tnick registrat- ion tax ls M00 per year. He ap- proved of the proposed 2 cenits increase in gasoline tax. He did not think it a very serious matter because without the tax the paved rvizsiolfi“? EXAhllllATIllll fitting and Sarcoma; Giana ll. J. lllBllll OPTOMITRIST ' MONTAGUI, P. E. I. Drugstore.

The tax would be earmarked for permanent road piuposes. He believed that farm- ers adjacent to paved made might well pay an extra 83 road tax which could be used for the up- keep of paved highways. Mr. LePage declared that he still believed in Prohibltion-“not that it prohibits altogether but it is s better system than Govern- ment control." Ho cited the liq- uor expenditure in Ontario. In this province we spend less than $2.00 per head on liquor, which means that we are twelve times better on’ than Ontario. We would drink $2,250,000 worth of liquor if we drank on the same per caplta rate as that province, he said. He was always in favor of the Attorney General admlnisteringall the laws. Under the Attorney General he believed the Prohibit- ion Act was enforced better than for many years. ‘twenty doctors had had their right to issue scripts cancelled. "What other Government ever took the stand to cancel the doe- tors when they were making a racket out of issuing scripts?" he asked. The public should be ap- preciative of the fact that they have s. Government of temper- ance people who can be depended on to stand by the Prohibition Act. Fbr the National Park the Dom- inion last year had granted $10,- 000 and this year they were giv- ing us "another $80,000," Mr. LelPage said. Also the Dominion had giv- ‘en a grant for roads leading from the United States border to the National Parks of Canada. We are entitled to a share of that grant and he expected the Minis- ter of Public Works would pressto get a road to our Park, possibly along the St. Peters Road. Mr. LePage then reviewed the work oi’ the Flshermews Loan Board. of which he is chairman. lt was expected in view of’ the $100000 increase in the federal grant this year that our federal share of the loan this year would amount to $35,000 or $40.000.Which the province would have to sup- plement with an equal amount. HON. MARIN GALLANT Hon. Marin Gallant, Third Prince, who followed Hon. Mr. Dennis last evening, made con- gratulatoiy references to the Pre- mier. the Executiye ‘Council presi- dent, and other colleagues. He commended the "better busi- ness methods" of the present ad- ministration and expressed the hope, that in another year it would bepossible to produce abal- iinced budget. He commended the activities of the Agricultural Min- ister especially in encouragement to poultry and livestock produc- tion. He believed that the present minister “had carried out his dut- ies with more energy and fixityof purpose than any of his predeces- sors," (Applause). Encouragement to our young people in agriculture. and to fish- ermen in cooperative marketing and processing their products, was emphasized as matters of very great importance. Mr. Gallant cited instances of the value of processing in the fish- ery industry. With rcgnrd to revision of school courses. he said he might be treading on dangerous ground but he believed the curriculum could be so arranged that at least 70 percent of the time devoted to tea/effing in the common school up to the end of Grade 10 should be given to the teaching of the fun- damental subjects such as reading. writing, arithmetic. geography and history. The teaching of Latin. geometry, and algebra might be relegated to the beginning of grade 10. "I would .not go so far as the delegation ‘proposed the other day which came before the Gov- ernment, as to eliminating these various subjects from the course altogether. I think it would be a great mistake. But we might have‘ not so much of these subjects in the elementary course, and have them taught more thoroughly in the upper grades." He was pleased that a greater amount was being granted this year for public health services. HON. MR. WRIGHT He was well aware that the Lib- erals had promised to balance the budget and they would not rest satisfied until they had done s0. declared Mr. Horace Wright. Fourth Prince, who was the next speaker. The Liberals, however, did not expect the MacMilian Gov- eminent to have a deficit of $952.- 000 at the end of l935-—-practlcally a million dollars’ debt, for which provision had to be made, includ- ing an increase of uncontrollable expenditure to the amount of $62,000. During the debate Mr. Wright noted, perhaps too little attention had been devoted to agriculture. He excepted the Minister of Agri- culture from this criticism. how- ever. If the farmers in debt re- ceived just one-tenth of the am- ount which the officials of the Board received they would not be applying for relief under the Fed- eral Act, he suggested. At the present time we have more unemployment in the prov- tory. owing largely to the influx of former Islanders from the United States. Mr. Wright. continued. This is a problem which this Legislat- ure must seek to solve. We are blessed with soil and climate sult- able for high class production. 1f we had this province more exten- sively cultivated we could support double our pruent population, he believed. Mr. Wright saw possibilities in small fruit and vegetable produc- tion,- provided a market could be found. He had followed the press discussion on the subject of estab- lishing a. large cannery and he believed that would be of great benefit, and that the Government should make a thorough investi- gation of the possibilities of such development.

This, he believed, would provide much additional em- Dloyment. It would result in great- er population, and more revenue in the way of taxes to the Gov. ernment. i "If this is just left to private enterprise I do not; think very much progress can be made," he added. “I suggest if the Govern. inent would endeavor to make an investigation of this kind they would be performing a very great service." H9 WES very pleased. Mr. Wright said, with the remarks of the Premier on the subject of prohibition enforcement. He. re- gretted that suspicion and mis- trust had been fostered by person; who were less interested in pro- hlbition than in creating prejud- ice ozainsr the Government. Now that the Government's silence had been broken he hoped than wquld be more understanding on the Dart of the public. In his own district there has been a very 11115- iaken idea in regard to the en- forcement not only of prohibition but of some other laws. They did not know "the high motives and aspirations" which prompted the Attorney General. “Those of us who know the facts have every confidence that he has done everything in his power to enforce the Act," the speaker 41¢- clared. Mr. Wright referred to the sus- Dension of 22 doctors for abuse of the script-issuing privilege. He also spoke at some length on the benefits of prohibition over Gov. eminent control, concluding with; criticism (reported yesterday), of the Government's brewery stallion policy. Mr. John Mustard (Third Kings). the next speaker after i- few minutes which he devoted to M11108" '18 the brewery stallion policy moved the adjournment. HON. J. P.

An attempt had been made last year to divide the road expenditure as equitably as possible between the various dis- tricts and polling ‘dlvilions. The Minister cited detailed figures in this connection, and other figures to show that he had “learned tn economics" in the management of his department.
