Gives

The Government at the present time is shoulderlng a great respon- sibiiity and they will have the as- sistance of the Opposition in find- ing a. way out of the financial dif- , ficulty, declared Mr. W. M. Lea, l leader ofthe Opposition, in speak-

ing on the Budget in the Legisla- I ture last evening. At the same time

he expressed disappointment “that

p the leader of the House sees no way of reducing expenditure or of obtaining more revenue.”

The time has come, Mr. Isa in- slsted, when the leader of the Gov- ernment must decide which of these courses he will adopt. The re-l sponsibility rested with him, not with the Opposition.

As o solution to the Falconwood problem the Opposition leader re- commended the purchase of the old Prince Edward Island Hospital building, -rather than the rebuild- ing of a costly new institution at the present time.

Mr. Lea came out as a strong op- ponent of any suggestion that Maritime Union would be helpful in solving our financial difficul- ~ ties. We would simply be uniting with Provinces worse off than our- selves, hesald. As for the argu- ment that we had no natural re- sources comparable to those in New Brunswick and Nova Scotis, he‘ cited the great possibilities in the fertility of our soil and the fuller development of our agricultural in- dustry.

Mr. Lea resumed the debate when the l-fousc met after recess at B O'clock. He spoke for upwards of two hours and was followed by Hon. Thomns MacNutt, Minister of Ag-l riculture, who at 11 o'clock nd-l jourried the debate. '

In the brief time at his disposal, Mr. MacNutt dealt with the de- partmcnUs activities in encourag- ing horse breeding, boys’ and girls’

A clubs, sheep and swine production. and with thc success of the agri- k cultural courses conducted at Prince of Wales College.

The House adjourned until 3 p.m. today.

In his opening remarks Mr. Lea referred to thc beautiful bouquet of roses placed on his desk on Monday night, presumably by thc Government, which he appreciated, he said “more than a carload dump- cd on my casket."

I-ie wished to commend the very frank manner in which the acting leader of the Government had “plac- ed his cards on the table." “But we all regretted to note that he did not have any proposal either to reduce the expenditure or increase the means of revenue." he added.

Discounting all the fire insurance collected in the past year and deducting $244.00 for rebuilding Prince of Wales College. we will have an increase of liabilities of $312,000, he continued. But the Government had also collected in- surance for Prince of Wales College and Falconwood and placed it wrongly in general revenue. Having paid for Prince of Wales College, and expended the insurance, we have actually incurred ll. liability of some $400,000 for the past year. This Mr. Lea thought was “a pretty serious showing."

Claims Greater Expenditure

The Government had expended $144,000 more than the Liberals did in 1030 on capital expenditure, the Opposition leader maintained. He recalled promises made by the Con- servatives. to reduce expenditure. The Liberals on the contrary had gone to the people without promis- ing to reduce expenditure or to re- frain from imposing additional tax- ation. In doing so they were “play- ing foir.” Up to that time the country was prosperous and there was a crying demand for improveq mcuts 1n bridges, ferry service and other public works. All these ex-i pehditures were used by Conserva- tives as, evidence of Liberal extrav- agance.

"I was amused to hear last night my hon. friend almost make my de- fensive speech regarding how hard it was to control expenditures," Mr. Lea continued. Now, however, the situation is different. There is the greatest necessity for retrenchment and economy and what could be esued justifiable expenditure from i020 to 1930 might today be termed reckless extravagance.

the Government to reduce expendi- ture. On the contrary. they were actually increasing expenditures in a great many departments.

The leader of the House had ad- mitted that he had no hope oi increasing revenues except through an indefinite promise by the Federal Premier that sometime in the future there might be an increase in fed- eral subsidy.

While in Opposition, the Conser- vatives had claimed they could pay old age pensions out of what the Liberals were wasting. The present acting leader of the House had fre- quently denounced the Liberals for failing to obtain “a single cent" from Ottawa on our claims settle- ment, Mr. Lea taunted.

In the Public Accounts, he con- tinued, there was an item of $30,000 marked revenue from domiciled companies-an item due to the ac- tion of the Liberals when in power of placing this legislation on the statute books. He contrasted this action with the failure of the first Stewart Government to pass a Suc- cession Duty Act.

The Liberals. he said. had been defeated largely on the argument that the two Governments should be in line in order to obtain a sub- sldy increase from Ottawa.

“When my hon. friend finds him- self face to face, as he was last night, with a. very "black future. when he has to confess that he sees no way of increasing the revenue, he should have thought back to the days when he went before the peo- ple of this Province promising them that taxes would riot be further re- duced—at a. time when our people were probably getting from $5,000,- 000 to $10,000,000 annually more than they are today. and when a great majority of them were more prosperous than they ever were be- fore.“

Mr. Lea. lauded the government- al economies practised in the scr- ious financial conditions prevailing in 1920. The Government of that day saw the wisdom of keeping out of debt as much as possible. This brought the speaker to the poll tax, imposed at that time, which he defended as the most equitable of taxation legislation. The defeat of the Bell Government impressed upon young politicians that if they dared to impose increased taxes they would be turned down by the people, and the responsibility for that rested with the party now in power.

Tax lteducti

There were those in the Liberal Government in 1923 who had- sug- gested reducing the taxes as a poi- itical measure. Mr. Lea. continued; but this policy thc then Govern- ment would not agree to.

Hon. Dr. Maclvlillan: "You pro- posed a reduction of taxes."

Mr. Lea: “I?"

Hon. Dr. MacMillan: "Your lead- er."

Mr. Lea: “Our leader, yes. The difference is that those charged with the responsibility would not accede to it. Wc went down with our colours flying. You dipped yours."

I-ion. Dr. MacMillari: speaking for yourself or for Liberal party?"

Mr. Lea: "I am making the charge that conditions were exact- ly the same in 1923 as in 1932."

Hon. Mr. Sharp: “But you dis- associate yourself from the par- ty?"

Mr. Lea: "I am not leading the party lately. I was not in the House at that time. My hon. friend knows that I was taking a. well- earned vacation, given to me by the mole!’ .

A sum between $800,000 and $1,- 000,000 had been lost in taxes by reason of tho Conservatives "dip- ping their colors" 0n theiaxation question. Mr. Lea charged.

riot have the statutory power.”

Mr. Isa: "You had the statutory power to reduce the overdraft to a reasonable amount."

It had been the intention of the late Government, if re-elected, he said, "to immediately ask for bids or debentures."

Hon. Dr. Madl/iillan: "You didn't do it of course, with an election on."

Mr. Lea: "Just. what attitude would my hon. friend take ifsve‘ had done so?"

Hon. Dr- Maclviillan: "Did I scare you out of doing your duty?"

Mr. Lea: “Not at all. I was not paying a. bit of attention to you."

Hon.‘ Dr. MacMillan: “Well, don't urge it as an excuse now."

Mr. Lea: "I am not asking to be excused. I am saying what you would have said." ‘

Continuing, Mr. Lca declared there had never been such an ex- ample of reckless bungling as the Stewart Government had shown in its borrowing last year.

' Hon. Mr. sharp: "We were not borrow'ng; we were funding what you borrowed."

Mr. Lea. maintained they should not have funded at 6.12 per cent when their predecessors were pay- ing 5. “Several hundred thousands of dollars" he maintained had been lost on that transaction “as com- pared with what m'ght have been borrowed afterwards." Moreover, he complained, tenders had riot been called.

The Minister of Health had said the other night that the bank manager had insisted that the whole of the Bank overdraft be rc- duced- Mr. Lea was surprised at tlfs, as it was a most unreasonable request to make and one which the Government should have protested against.

‘The Minister of Health and Edu- cation, Mr. Lea admitted was "a most competent and energetic man in his department, b\it was a poor financier."

I-le would not attempt to criti- cise the new Prince of Wales Col- lcgc. He would not say that there was extravagance, as he did not know enough about the subject.

Mr. Lea. had heard a rumor that some $40,000 had already been ex- pended on tho Palconwocd plAllS. He wished to know if that was cor- rect.

Hon. Dr. MaeMlian: "Not that much."

Mr. Les: "Is 't $30000?"

Conservatives had failed to bond the overdraft when flu-y them-

selves came into power. a

Debate

to amend the Gasoline Tax Act. 1926. I

The bill repeals the exemption clauses of the Act and substitutes in lieu thereof the right "to a rc- bate of the tax or such part thc-rc- of as the Lieutenant Govemflr ill Council may from time to time deem advisable."

It had been felt necessary for‘ some time to hold back a ccrwiu amount of the rebate for overhead expenses, the promoter explained- For that reason it was PT°P°5°1 11°" to rebate the tax in full. Moreover it is believed there have been some irregularities which the Govern- ment is desirous of straightening out. It was proposed to keep back two cents of the rebate.

Mr. Alien asked if it was the ill- tention to proceed against parties who misrepresent, the amount of, their rebate.

Hon. Dr. MacMillan replied that this matter was now under consid- eration. .

Ml‘. Lea said he understood it was; now proposed to collect $200,000 under the Gasoline Tax Act. Unless tlicrc is a complete rebate to those who arc using gasoline for purely

iroductive purposes it would be anl

.ax motor vehicles a reasonable: amount for use of the roads but

Government could not safely go‘. I-le realized however that there were grave doubts as to the bona fides of certain claims advanced for rebates. In this connection he cited incidents which had occurred under the Liberal administration. Mr. McIntyre thought exemp- tions should not have been made in the first . place but that at this particular time the imposition of the two cent tax would work a; great hardship on fishermen and
