Never lu the history of parlia- ments has such a thing occured._ md it is all but unbelievable, except by those who‘really know the _help- lessness of the aggregation now run-` ning the Province hopelessly into' debt. The Premier spoke for two- and-a-half hours and sat down with- out submitting his estimates of rev- enue and expenditure for the current year. Hamlet without ine Ghost is' nothing to the absurdity of a budget speech without estimates, and only a politician of the calibre of the Saunders outfit could attempt it and As it was. the Legislature was for a time face to face with a discussion ln which they were, deprived of the plans and policy of the Government regarding the administration and fin- ancing of the province for the our-I rent year. It seemed as though the Premier acted on the suggestion of lhc Guardian, that we might as well i be without estimates as to have 'ai Government that uniformly exceeds them. Fortunately for the Province there is a wise, deliberate Leader of the Opposition who is able to cor- rect some of the Government's eg- regious blundering, and in the pres- ent instance the Legislature was saved from absolute fiasco by Mr. J. D. Stewart giving Premier Saun- ders an opportunity to put hil-nself in' order to enable the debate to pro- ceed.

Rumor has it that the near fut- ure may witness the establishment of a coalition between the British Lib- erals and the Labor party. For the time being. this tonic has thmwv completely into the shade events at the naval conference. The conviction is growing that Mr. Lloyd George has in mind some sort of understand- into alliance, founded upon a free trade policy in opposition to the Gon- servative United Empire campaign. Some color is given to this report by recent utterances of the Liberal lea- der in the House of Commons, as, for example, when he declared that should the Liberals embarrass the Government_at this juncture over the Coal Mines Bill such action mighti have serious consequences as regards the negotiations at St. James’ Palace. And, ayalii, it is observed mst Mr Lloyd George of late has been slngu ! larly reticent with his colleagues re to what action he has in view. Mean- time, it would appear that Liberals and Laborites have been hobnobbing, together in a social way, and at a function at which Mrs. Snowden was hostess prominent personages con- nected with the Liberal party put in, an appearance. Of greater import- however, is the fact that Mr. Ram- say Muir,` chairman of the Liberal party organization, addressing a meeting at Acton, strongly voiced his` misgivings coriceming the "most dangerous swing" towards protec- tion, a movement which he declared was going on all over the country and would be the greatest challenge the nation had ever known in its his- tory. It is conjectured that Mr. Muir would hardly have come out so bold- _ ly had he not been aware that the sentiments expressed had the ap- an answer to that question. The Gov- _ ernment can no longer borrow mon- ey at 41-2 per cent, and needs must‘ seek authority to increase the rate of interest to 5 1-2 per cent. Where is it going to end? il* Budget Boomerangs Premier 'Saunders threw a. boom- ei-ang _at the Opposition leader and Dr. McMillan in his budget speech Wedlwsdil' night, which yesterday reacted with devastating results when it returned home. He quoted from a report of the Development Commission, issued in 1917, to show. that Mr. Stewart and Dr. McMillan were favorable to an educational tax. This was before the Bell Gov- ernment raised the taxes. As Mr. Stewart, pointed out yesterday, an educ_atio_nal tax was proposed by the Arsenault Government and was de-\ leetcd. by the Liberal members, and their party workers. He showed' also thst'when in Opposition Premier’ Saunders loudly announced his in- tention, ii’ retumed, to decrease tax-. ation. The whole course of the Saunders Govemment on 'the tax- _atlon-question was shown to be as_ inconsistent as its attitude towards Prohibition enforcement. Then, too, there was the paper surplus of .$3.789 which the Premier’ flourished in -his budget speech and. which fadedcompletely out of the` piotun when, the Opposition leader analy`ae`d`it"in broad daylight yes-` terdly. li¢r.'_'Stewart showed convinc-) ingly,_ from Premier Saunders' own statement .when in Opposition ir' 1927. that there was a surplus at that time of 011.0%; thet’today,‘ calculated on cnsctiy the same basis, susan is cswlao; tim wnsnu aarim the four years ol conservat- ive sdminllttatim $415,000 was add- ai is ilu use as ilu rmiuao, im* M in a little added Ulm had allowed .£33 ii-E 3 ,five feet. proval of Lloyd George himself. These I are' deemed the straws showing the way the 'wind blows. The safeguard- ing movement has produced grave' unrest and deep heart-searchings amongst the free trade adherents in both the Labor and Liberal- camps. And it would be no great surprise if, upon this paramount issue, they ulti- ing which will bring the two parties: ious year, and $200,000 for last year. If the Government had not gone be- hind why these borrowings? As a matter of fact no one, Liberal or Conservative, who has seen the ac- counts. except Mr. Saunders and his following, deny that the Government has gone behind another quarter of a million dollars. The Premier and his followers may try to get over the present session by attempted bluff, but they are unable to throw dust permanently in the eyes of an intel- ligent electorate. Mr. Saunders was very indignant that the Guardian should include Sinking Fund appropriatiorn as ex- penditure to be counted in ascertain- ing the deficit. What is it, if not an expenditure? If it be taken out of the revenue and placed in another account for a specific purpose it can no longer be counted as cash in the treasury. Only Mr. Bell, Mr. Saund- ers' Liberal predecessor, was ingen- uous enoughto accomplish such a trick by substituting, I. O. U’s." and intention oi’ following his example. Besides Mr. Saunders in the past has always stoutly maintained that the sinking fund should be calculated as expenditure, so why should he pro- `est now? Evidently the Senate is not bank .ng much on change of venue for di- vorce cases yet a while. The Senate Divorce Committe is going righi ahead' with its list. Moreover, it evidently plans to “make it snappy.", The committee held its first meeting on Tuesday, when ten cases were set down, with about the same num-‘ ber for three subsequent days, forty-1 three in all for the week. An uncon-_ tested case usually takes about twen- ty minutes. Without suggesting that the procedure in the Senate is hur-' ried and ill considered-as has been' argued in support of a divorce court -doubts are expressed if the rourtsi would be so speedy. This is going to: bs a peak year, exceeding all records for divorce applications. The number: will go over three hundred, because there are 288 so far. Of these, 243 are from Ontario and 45 from Quebec. Each province sets a new record. Husbands are petitioners in 116 and wives in 172 cases. ' Only recently have we had "traffic cops" introduced here and they are' on duty only on busy days and even- ings in Summer and Fall. In other places they constitute a regular part of the city administration and are looked upon as valuable and respon- sible officials whose comfort must be mately join their forces, all other matters being considered secondary to their being able to combat the trend towards protection.
