COLD STORAGE RESOLUTION ADOPT- ED ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON,

_

| Important Change in the Assessment A ct— Summary of the Discussion.

Satrcrpay, April 10.9

House met at 315.

Mr. Wise resumed the chair in com- mittee op the cold storage resolution.

Hon. Mr. Farqubarson informed Mr. (Shaw that he had received ro further information from the Minister of Agricul- ture regarding the assistance to be ren- dered a cold storage company by the Dominion Government.

Mr. Campbell pointed ont that’ he was not opposed to any movement caleulated to benefit the farmers, but be thought that before ihe Leader of the Government asked this House to vote any aid to a cold storage company he shouldbe in a posi - | tion to state definitely -what shape ‘this assistance is to assume, It behooved hon. members to see that the cold storage was | made continuous, 80 that no section of the | province should be under a disadvantage. | Cold storage on the cars was essential and | should be provided.

TLe resolution was then put and carried, and reported agreed to with the Speaker in the chair.

Hon. Mr. Peters moved that the Honse go into committee of the whole for con- sideration of the following resolution :

1h ULF

Re-olved, thatit,ivaitisable te amend “The Assessment? Agy, T894,° in such a way as to adjust the tax so that its burden may fall mareevenly on the property holders of the. prog mee.

ve a! se

In introduchyg lig ¢ésolution Hon. Mr. Peters pointed Out that at the time the Assessment - Act’ wag introduced it was intimated thatvif it did” pet prove satis- factory in eW¥ery,*respect it’ would be amended. ey found, after three vears experience, Ghat the. Act needed amend- ment in sonverespects, and it was now proposed to Yemedy «the defects which exist3. They fOund “that’ the acreage system had néteworked satisfactorily, and they proposed to Abeli#h it and let each property holder pay tax upon the value of his farm instead, of paytbg so much per acre, as is done at présent. “The land will be valued by the owner, as itis at present. The man who owns land tothe value of $16,000 will pay taxes upon that amount, and the maa.who owns a tarm worth $100 will only. pay taxes upon that sum. Under the acreage system, as it jis at * pre- sent, certain inequalities were found to exist. There, he thought, would be ob- viated by the proposed change. The great idea is to get a tax tinat will bear equally uponall. He had every confidence that fat holders would set # {air valuation upon their holdings. a

Mr. haw pdinted® ont that? whet ; he present assessment act was before the House in 1894 the Opposition showed that under it certsin inequalities would exist. They showed that under certain conditions it was practically impossible fora man to

lacea fair valuation upon his lands.

he force of this objection was recognized by the Government, and they provided that lands should be assessed at the rate of so much per acre. Now, after three years trial, the Leader is incorporating in the act the very privciple which he condemned when the law was being framed. Proceed- ing Mr. Shaw severely arraigned the Gov- ernment for not making revenue and ex- penditure meet,as they promised to do when appealing to the people. How had this promise been kept? In 1891 the defi- cit was $30,000. Butthe Leader charged the wicked Tories with being respouasible, and promised that next year there would be a better showing. The deficit that The Leader was in power allthat year and could not blame the Tories. Iv 1893 the provincial elec- tion took place and the enormous deficit of $120,000 was rolled up. In 1894 they introduced the Assessment Act, the Commercial Travellers’ Tax, the Succession Tax, and the tax on incorpora- ted companies, and it might be expected that with these sources of revenue at their disposal things would be all, right. But that year their defieit was $20,000, and last year the apparent deficit is $14,000. In onearm of the provincial service—the Public Lands Department—during three years they actually gaye away $90,000 in order that $79,000+might be collected. This is the waythé@ fivances of the pro- vince are nismanaged. In the meantime the farmer is taxed to the fullest value of his land, while the Leader of the Govern- ment and other moneyed men are only taxed npon the interest of their money. It is class legislation of the most pronounced type. Mr. Campbell claimed that the pre— sent system of taxation Was ‘Unfair apd unjust izasmuch as it taxed the’farme the full while moneyed men bike the Leader of the Government were prattically exem pt. Inequalities existed under the present Assess-, ment Act and he was glad that some slight improvement was to be made. He belieyed that eyery man should pay taxes upon a just and fair valuation. But he @id not ‘believe in class legislation. The farmers should not have to pay all the taxes, The moneyed men of tLe city should be taxed on the same basis as the farmer.

Hon. Mr. McLauchlin thought that, io their desire to etfect some needed improve- ments in the Assessment Act the Govern- ment should have the support of every | member of the House. When the Act was | introduced it was pointed out that it was only an experiment, and it was said that any changes deemed necessary would be made. After three years trial some changes were deemed advisable, and these it was now proposed to make.

The motion carried, aad the House went

(Alberton) ;ointed out that the Opposition | voted against the whole Assessment Act, | belieying that it was wrong from end to} end. They claimed that it taxed the; farmers while the moneyed men were ex- | empt. He taunted Mr. hy vera with sup- porting the second and third reading of, the bill which provided for taxing ‘he village of Alherion while it exempted Charlottetown and Summerside. |

Mr. Rogers (Alberton) accused the Op- | position of opposing every measure that! came up and of talking for talk’s sake and to gain a little popularity. Why did they not bring in amendments to the resolutions? He thought a great wrong | existed under the present svstem of tax- ing land at the rate of so much _ per acre, | and it was time a change were made. He informed Mr. Shaw that when the Assess-— | meut Act was before the House he bad moved certain amendmente which did | not carry.

Mr. Shaw pointed ont that it was un- usual to move amendments to resolutions. | That could be done when the biil was brought down. He charged Mr. Rogers with insincerity in voting for a bill which he sought to have amended, and claimed that his (Rogers) proper course was to have opposed the bill when the Honse divided on the question of its passaze.

Mr. Blanchard did not think it was right or just for Mr. Rogers to accuse the | Opposition of opposing every measure that came before the House. He fcr one was not opposed to the new Prince of Wales Col- lege building. He condemned Mr. Rogers for yoting for the second and third reading of the Assessment Act which exempted Summerside and Charlottetown from taxa- tion in the face of the instructions he received at a public meeting held in Bloomfield at the time. This meeting decided that unless the bill taxed Char- lottetown and Summerside it was not to be supported by their representatives. The’ bill did not provide for the taxing of these towns, bat on the second and third readings it was supported by his colleague. He (Mr. Blanchard) claimed that the Assess- ment Act was upjustas between the farmer and the moneyed man. Hedid not think the Opposition ought to be expected to support any scheme of taxation tke object of which was to raise money te make up what was expended in order to carry the election of 1890.

Mr. Campbell was speaking at six o’clock when the House adjourned until, three on Monday afternoon.

OF WALES COLLEGE DE- FENDED.

Sir,—During the discussion in the House concerning the advisability of erect- ing anew Prince of Wales Coilege, I noticed that a certain hon. member of the Opposition laid considerable stress upon his statement that in P. W. C.a young man was not fitted to fight the battle of life as he, I think, expressed it, in mercan- tile or professional pursuits. As regards the statemect that P. W.C. does not fit one for a mercantile life, [ would say that if a census of the leading mercantile houses throughout P. E. Island were taken, it would be found that no small percentage of ‘those holding prominent positions in these establishments owe their success . to the sound education received by them while students at P. W.C., and that they did not require to take a further course ia | the Business College, as the hon. member declared was necessary.

As for professional life, although P. W. %. will not turn out full-fledged lawyers or doctors, still many of our leading pro-! fessional men can truthfully say that they also have to thark P. W, C. for the educa- pap which enabled them to. succeed in

ife. eo

But even granfing thatithe ‘assertion of ' the hon. member ‘is true, #vould that not be a very weak argument against the erection of a new building? As far asI know, when these fees were imposed it was with the understanding that’ the money thus | derived was to be appropriated for the erection of a new college. Truly, the pro-

PRINCE

TO THE FARMERS OF P. E. ISLAND.

I wish to address you on a subject which, in relation to your interests, I ro Tr poriance; 1 uareet for

cousider secuend 'o non- Ig the securing Ol &® pret aie your products.

You were lea ihat free trade with the States wou ie coincident weit the advent to power of tue Liveral Paity. I need hardly tell you that now the’ pros- pect of teciprozity grows hourly more dim and distant. The friends of tue Canadian Government in the Siates are busily en- yaged in framing euch tariff Jaws as will etlectually exclude you from their market, and perhaps this is a blessing in disguise, for you will now have to vend all your energies towards securing that best and safest outlet for your gouds~—the Sritish market,

The people of Great Britain are wealthy aud consequently fastidious. They must have everything of the very best quality, in perfect condition, and put before them

‘or Deedieve

‘in the attractive shape to which they are

accustomed, and for this they are ready to pay a bigh price. If we cau succeed in catering .o their tastes I believe the action of Cobgress, instead of being an injury to Canada, wil! usher in the dawa of an era of great and euduring prosperity such as we have never known.

This cannot be eccomplished without +trengous exertion and united effurt on your Own part, aided by both the Provii- cial and Federal Governments, As as beea proven in the case of the cheese in- dustry this can best be effected by the formation of co-operative associatious. You must unite heartily and cordially; se.fishness and petty jealousy must’ be eradicated. Farmers ciub-,of which we have a few, must be multiplied in order that-we may be in @ position to negotiate with the Governments,

it should not be-too much to ask of the Dominion Goverument that they make ah outlay of'say $50,000 in the erection ota slaughtering astablishment on the most modern principles with cold storage. For this amonnt the Local Government should become liable for the interest at 3 per cent. The Dominion Government owns real estate in the neighborhood ofthe railway station, which would make an excellent: site for euch an establishment. The cold ctorage warehouse being placed at the:end of we Railroad whart, ‘a situaiion which bas man.fest advantages.

We should be prepared whes the

| establishment is in good running condition

to parckase it from the Govenment,say with in two years,upon the following @onditions: Tofpay duterest on the cap.tal invested» ar 3 per cent $1500.00 with a sinking fund ot about. $1,666 00additional making a total annualjpaymert of $3166.00 wiich would pay off the indebtedness in twenty yeere. Vor the present I shall leave this matver for your serious consideration anddrust that rome steps mav betaken in regard to it without loss of time. ; Klectors should press the matter upon their represeniatives. : Yours faithfully. ~ J.T. Jenxixs

~P,S$.—I have pat this matter hurriedly and bri: fiy before you that yon;might have an early opportunity of considering, it. There are other points of interest connected with it oo which I shali do myself’, the pleasure of addressing you shortly.
