IMPLICATED
castigation of his administration or rather nialadministration of the De partmont of the Interior and as ilon Dr Roche, Hon Arthur Melghen and Mr R B Bennett directly charged Mr Oliver with being aware of and being responsible for the series of scandalous and corrupt dealings by the Liberal party and its agents as revealed in the Ferguson reports
He was an even sadder figure when
having defended his share of the trans actions revealed in these reports in one of the weakest and lamest speech es ever heard in the House from a. front hencher, the facts of the cases in which he had directlv profitted were exposed
Sli' \Vllfrld Laurier who sat through
the whole debate had not a word to say in defence of his Western Lieute
again to do so
Fittingly perhaps, the only Liberal
member who attempted to come to the rescue of the member for Edmonton, was Hon William Pugsley
The revelations have created a most
intense sensation in political circles Through his strong phrases and brim stone epithets and his apparent sturdv d fence of the ‘rights of the people, Mr Oliver had come to be regarded its at least personallv honest The exposure made last night was without doubt a direct surprise to the mem bers of Parliament They were pain fully surprised for no nian in the Canadian Parliament has been more violent in the language he has used in denouncing political corruption in pub lic life It is generally admitted bv the Liberals that politically Mr Oliver is ‘ dead The storv has already been made public that while lie was Minis ter of the interior. the Grand Trunli Pacific took $15,000 worth of stock in his own papei, the Edmonton Biiiletin Mr 0ilver's defence was almost pain (Continued on Page Six)

There was it crowded attendance in
the Legislative Chamber last night when Premier Mathieson presented his fourth Budget His Hon Speaker Wyatt to tl c chair at 8 '35 and after some preliminary business, the Premier moved that the i-louse form itself into Committee on supply-
that supply b granted to His
Majesty ' Before dealing with the special items on the estimates, the Premier took a retrospective view of what has been done during regime of the present Government in Novem ber 1911 there came to an end twenty years of Liberal administration Fotu years ago he had stated that he would make a change in regard to the re sponslbllity for failure to iniilie income and expenditure meet They said if they were fit to take government they would have to carry the responsibility on their own shoulders without cast ing blame upon their predecessors Tliev did not throw the responsibility' on their predecessors for failure to make ends meet because they had put an end to the period oi annual deficits Wlhen they started thev were faced with liabilities of $1 072 000 and it was on the results obtained, start ing with that adverse balance, that their regime must be judged At the end of the first fifteen months, the Government had reduced it to $1027 000 At the end of December 31 1914 the liabilities were further reduced to $983 854
'l`lie total reduction of the debt in
the four years was $89 241 These figures could not be coiitroverted in addition to this reduction there was the claim of Walter Lowe, outstantl ing tor over fifteen years. \vliicli had been settled for some $7 '£43 They lind had nothing to do with that claim but like many other claims, it had fallen on their shoulders io settle There were 'other claims amounting to over $’l 000 which afteriiartls turned up. making it total rcduiiion in dclit of about $100 000
Last year lie had estimated lor ii.
surplus of $5 G29 The nttnal surplus liud been $10 572 The contribution to the war funds had been $20 940 including $15 000 paid to the Patriotic Fund Altogether some $28000 which were actually paid out this year and which might be properlv charged to the current year they had defraved from the year 1914 If it had not been for that they would have had a sur plus of $47414 That was not all for although they had fulfilled and more than fulfilled their promise that they would make income and expen diture nieet they had also added to the assets of the province by provid ing agricultural buildings in Charlotte town and Summerside to the value of $17 000 The Commissioner of Public Works in his Department had added to the assets of the Government Dllblic works to the value of $153 000 It was nbsoliitely necessary when thev took the offer to put the nuances of the province in ii. sound financial position. and they had done this by increasing the revenue hy $160 000-without in creasing the taxation ol’ the people of the province one cent The Land Tax was the same. the income tax was the same, except that the revenues of clergyman and school teachers were exempted They had the fox tax it was true, but that was not a new tax. as previously fox owners were liable to s tax of one and a half per cent instead of one per cent now charged The satisfactory position of the fin ances was not reached by chance It was all carefully planned and arranged for If their predecessors had acted upon the advice they had placed at their disposal when in opposition, they might have obtained the increased Dominion subsidy and grants which they had succeeded in securing but their predecessors refused to avail themselves of the materiel and assist

Taxation and a Surplus to Boot
He did not believe that one man. were lie asked. would go hack to the old system Under the old regime a great deal of the monev for roads was spout in buvlng votes Under ilie present Government not u cent liiid been spent lnsuch a. manner it could not be truthfully said that one dollar had been spent illegally by this Govern ment, after next election was over. he would be extremely disappointed if he could not stand there and say that not onlv had not a cent of’ public money been spent in brib ry but that not one drop of liquor ha been distributed at the election The road oflicers had also to collect the land tax, and it was a satisfactory statement. he thought to be able to make, when he said that they had collected over 98 per cent of the taxes Proceeding to discuss the roads, lie said it should not be difficult to arrive at a solution for permanently improving the roads-but that was still before them He hoped that after next election the Senate would be no longer in a position to veto the sub sidy for roads If the Senate had not blocked the measure, the province would have had $40 000 spent on the roads For the future iliev looked forward with confident hope of obtain ing that grant, when the beneficial results that would flow from it would be felt all over this province
Discussing the education question,
the Premier said when they took office thev found that during the previous regime the average attendance ot cliildreii had fallen from 23.000 to 18000 the number of schools had largely increased, the average salaries of all classes ot' school teachers had fallen, there was apathy everywhere All that had passed The attendance had increased there was only one vacant school lust year, salaries had increased, there was hope, courage and conildeiice everywhere instead oi’ three school inspectors they had now eleven, who visited the schools rcgularlv. and the system and satis factory results accruing reflected the greatest credit on the Superintendent oi' Education and his assistant, Mr Bradlev Indeed, it was held up to other provinces as an ideal system of co ordinatlng common school and agri cultural education He confidently believed that the outcome of this would result in increasing the popula tion remaining in the island He be lieved the conditions offered here were better than those offered anywhere in Canada or outside Canada Education was the foundation of success What enormous possibilities lay before us agrlculturally if only we would recog nise that no man was too old to leiirn Nothing could curse a country more than wealth without foundation far better for a countrv to have more of the latter and less of the fomier H thought that it was as much the duty of Canada and the provinces of Canada to provide money for better equipping the fishermen of Canada as to provide for the education of any other class. and he would not re main satisfied until an opportunity were given to thc fishermen of Canada similar to that now being given to agriculturists Referring to oyster fisheries, the Premier said that last year they arranged with the Depart ment of Marine and Fisheries to institute a protective service and to sweep the bays of star fish They also had had the services of Dr Julius Neilson, the greatest authority on oysters in the United States.wholnves tigated the particular conditions under which oysters bred, and also Mr J W Robertson. who spent the summer in Richmond Bay studying the oyster spat The problem was bow to catch the spat, and the infomation obtained had been very valuable indeed lf it had not been for the action of the Government the greatest oyster fish erles of Canada--our own-were in
danger of becoming exhausted
would have been impossible to lnaug urate the present system had it not been for the invaluable work of Mr Shaw and his assistance They had found in him an exceedingly reliable officer, and he had succeeded in smoothing out objections and dlfllcul ties until now he did not think there was one outlving claim which had not been satisfied There woe not a man engaged in the ovster lndustry in any capacity who would not be immensely benefited by the cultivation of the oyster fisheries it would be n crime were steps not taken to develop and conserve the finest oyster beds in the continent Growth if sound and sure lilly be ll0W yet ml! D0 ll¢llflCf.0l'y Growth in the oyster industry may not be speedy but._his sdvfoe from thai Department was that it was sound and sure The fox industry had made phenomenal progress. Until the war had checked its development. but he
that in the long run, both the fox industry and the oyster lndustry would ultimately benefit from the pres nt Period of rest The Premier referred to the mussel mud experiments and said they hoped to develop these until the whole pro vince would benefit therefrom
In conclusion the Premier said their
estimated income for the coming year was $517 293, and the expenditure $516 238 leaving a surplus of $1055 That would mean that they would re duce the public debt by $18 268, and in addition have this surplus of $1 055 The Government had in the past year fulfilled the last of their pre election promises in establishing the school supply department, whereby the price of school books had been greatly reduced He thought they would be justified by the people of the province In spending what they considered necessary in carrying through that policy
'I‘lie Government had also in view in
establishing ti laboratory for testing disease such as they had not on this side of Montreal at present They had been advised that that was an initial step that would bring their re lations to the people in the very besi: that exists in civilization What they wanted was the best means of safe guarding the health of the people, and that they were determined to attempt What lay before them immediately, however. was their relation to the Empire, and they were asking the Leg isiature to provide what was deemed necessary They did not know how much would b required u they asked that confidence would be placed in the Govern ment to spend about what was consid ered necessary lf ever there was it time when strife, malice and unclinr iizibleness should be swept back it was thc present The man who realized his duty in this respect would fliid that lie had no time to waste other wise There were some people who, instead of assisting, were prepared to hinder Instead of giving approval they had nothing but fault finding, but he hoped that such trivial fault finding would he now put behind them and a united front presented in face of the common danger
M JOHN RICHARDS The
leader of the Opposition. in reply said the Premier had furnished them with a lengthy and eloquent speech and had endeavored to show that they had is great many problems to solve as the result of the long regime of the Lib erals if the Premier could succeed in making the people see things as he saw them, it would be all right for the Government, but lie thought it would take more than his speech to do that He thought the Province had benefited largely by the enter prise of the Liberal Governments in introducing improved transportation, cold storage, and agricultural devel opment He believed thai: the people had come to believe that the late Governments were very progressive and economical He though tthat the present Government at Ottawa was the most extravagant in the history of Canada He thought the term "slash away dashaway well described the Dominion Government, and might al so be applied to the local Government Since coming into office they had been grossly extravagant as the public ac counts showed It was true there was n surplus last year of 10000 but in view of the increased subsidy and grants received, he did not think it was much to brag about They had a revenue of $209000 more in 1914 than in 1911 lf proper economy had been practised there should have been a very substantial surplus They had not practised economy. on the other hand there had been increased ex
peudlture in every department
had cost $700 to bring the members of the Executive Council against $400 under the Liberal Government That was perhaps not s great deal but it showed how the money was spent lf the debt was decreased how wes it that $1 300 more in bank interest was paid last year than in 1911’ H criticized the system adopted b Messrs Rossborough and Dench in prsparin the report on the liabilities of the ovince, and said that if they had adopted a different system they would have shown that the Province was in I. better position under the lute Goveniment than almost any other Province in Canada, Discus sing the educational question, he doubted whether the Government was Justidod in making the claim for the improvements that they had done lf the Government had practised the some economy as its predecessor, he thought they should have been able to pay greater increases In salaries to
