Patriot vs Its Advertisers

The difference between fiction and fact was amusingly illustrated ln Tuesday's issue of the local Liberal organ. On its editorial page of that date under the heading “Taxing the Tea-cup," appears the statement that a tax of "over 5 cents a. pound" has been imposed on tea, and that price to the consumer “must inev- itably include the new duties." page 8 of the same issue of our con- temporary, in three column type ad- vertising a. well known brand of tea, IPPQI-YI the statement that this com-

This sum would have been in- creased to $500,000 but for the vigor- ous protests of the Opposition. It then violated its promise of a gen- eral reduction of taxation by boost- ing the gasoline tax from three to five cents a gallon, and passed leg- islation saddling additional expense on the Province to provide for the employment of twenty-five Liberal campaign henchmen as road sup-
