COST OF GOVERNMENT

Is Canada getting full value for its expenditure on government? This is a -pertlnent question st a time when the public debt is in- creasing yearly, when taxes are soaring and the cost of living keep- ing company with tihe taxes. We are paying’ federal taxes, provincial taxes and municipal taxes, besides taxes ~for churches, schools, charl- tics and those things which we mildly and helplessly call "incident- a1" expenses. For these services col~ icutivcly the great majority of Can- adians are paying to tihe last dollar of what remains of their earnings after ‘provision has been made for a meagre living and many of thcm even before such provision in made. A statistician has com-piled the cost of our several governments as follows:

l-‘orleral government... $424,645,217 Provincial governments 130,887,303 Aluuicipal governments 247255.345. This sums up an average cost of about $445 for every family of five in Canada. All the wheat crop of Canada last year at $2.00 a bushel would not pay the whole cost of government. All the salaries and wages of all the employer; in all the factories in Canada would pay only a little more than half the cost of Kovcrmnent. The-re are 800,000 farmers and farm tenants in Can- ada: ilhe money spent in governing (‘zmadc would give each of these farmers a salary of a little under $1,000, _

of Prince Edward island have come ln competition with those of the sister Marltimcs in near or dis- tant markets they have never tak- en second place. Not infrequently, as in the Cuban market, they have brought a considerably better price than any other.

Rival growers in other provinces have admitted the fact and attribut- cid it to more care and forethought in ussortingfor uniformity in size and soundness and so on. This commendation has a twofold value.- lt is useful as a lesson also. The care bestowed on past. shipments can and should be improved upon. it must not be allowed to decline.

. Sir,—l read ‘In The Patriot (AD- rll 17) that “the record of Conser- vatlve Governments (in P. -E. I8- lund) has been one long record of deficits, debt. reckless extrava- gance and neglect of public wmLs 1n regard to trnnsportat on and general Administration."

In the Year Book for 1916 (p886 109) there are set out the receipts and expenditures. the surpluses and deficits, of the Provincial Gov- ernment in each and every year be- tween snd including 1880, and 1916. The Conservatives were in office from 1880 to 1890 and again from 1912 to 19l6-——ln all fifteen

twenty one years_ At the close of the years the Conservatives were in office there “are shown surplus- es amounting to 253357.31, The re- cord of the years in which the Lib- erals were in office is as follows:

In vlaw of the unbroken list of deficits throughout the period in which the Liberals held office, the language of The Patriot quoted ut the beginning of this latter is ovi- dcntly as ridiculous as it is false ‘and nngrammntical.
