done away with this year.

Last year he had budgeted, he said for a deficit of $15,000. But due to attention to economy consistent Willi excellent public service the “deficit was only some $1000. b1 every depart ment, save only that of public works a substantial saving bad been made. The speaker went on to quote from the Public Accounts in illustration of this, showing the savings which had been made in the different depart- merits.

COMPABATWE EXPENDITURE!

In the first ‘partof the year 1927 the Conservatives spent $024,000 dur- ing their period of seven and one hall months in omce. We spent in our period in office $220,000. This works out at 884.000 per month for the Con- servatives and $70,000 for us. This year we spent $821,951 or at the rate 01,860,000 per month—l16,000 per month lea!‘ than the Conservatives did when they were in omen in 1027. B-emler Saunders then went into Public Works expenditures in some detail-particularly expenditures on the rodds. He went; on to contrast the roads of 1928, after gravel had been applied, and improvements e1.- fectedwith the new road machinery, with the roads as they were in 1027.

In the Public wont.» Department. he said, asicb from expenditure on roads, the expenditure compared very favorably with that in the years 1921, '22, '23 and '24. .

While we are‘ receiving 0125.000 more money than we were two years ago, we” are losing income by rea- son of $00,000 to $57,000 loss in rev- enue as t. result of uie policy the liberal party have pursued in regard to prohibition, also due to the cutting ofl by the Conservatives of the poll tax, and the land tax.

lie scored The. Guardian for scy- ing the province had gone behind $200,000 instead of some $1500. say- ing that there was a difference bo- tween a debt and a llabillty._'1‘hs fact is, he stated we have borrowed 0270,- 000 on capital expenditure. 8170.000 borrowed for grsvelling llld 8X00,- 000 for road machinery, He asserted that, if they wanted to sell the road machinery they could g $01,000 for it; also $20,000 for‘ the Nowpvrt lorry boat-dust about what was paid 101‘

"In other word! we have liquid assets of 0111.000. Take that from 0101.000 and at molt we have increased the liabilities o1 the Province only to the extent of 101.000." .

It Wll true however, that, year by year, we had been increasing our liability. without any snort to fund the debt. This wls bad buslnwl. but debt funding could only be done by increased subsidies. o1- inorcued tu-

In the legislature yesterday Prem- ier Sounders gave notice of motion of the following resolution seconded by the Hon. MrQMOIntyre:

Resolved that s. Plebisclte relating lo the control and suppression of traffic in alcoholic liquors be sub- mitted to qualified electors of the

1920. on a ballot containing the fol- lowing questions:

Wahabis Again 0n The Warpath

‘ (Canadian Press)

NEW YORK, N. Y., Aplt, 3—A special cable to the New York Times from Amman, ‘Ikansjordanla, says:-

Rteports of a new Wahabl raid reached here 1 osday. -The attack 1:. considered the fiercest of any that have yet taken place.

More than 400 Howeltais, bers of one of the most famous arablan tribes, were killed. The entire camp at Jello! Belda was wiped out. "fish the fonts being destroyed. The chief- ta1n'of this tribe lll a cousin of the noted Auja Abutyab, mentioned 1n C01. T. Bl. Lawrence's boBk, and an outstanlltig Arab figure."

only $1500. He hoped a similar hap- py result would come this year also; moreover he hoped that we would at least secure Justice at Ottawa in the matter of increased subsidies.

The speaker went on to deal with

of the visits to Ottawa and Mont- real, in connectiln with the increas- ed subsidy and also t new cal‘ ferry. $8,000,000 had bee placed ln the estimates for this ship and ne'- cessary ‘docking facilities. This mat- ter came up at the time increased subsidies were being pressed for, and naturally the Federal Government felt, when they were spending all this money inhlnce Edward Island in one year they were doing reason- ably well. He conferred with the Minister of Finance who promised a committee of experts to look into the claims of this province for in- ueased subsidies in the autumn or the fall.

He supposed thiscommitioe will report back to the, Federal Govern- ment; lo that this time next year he was "really hopeful” that the mat- ter will be lttled. "Ah to wntn. time we will get an increase," he admitted, "it is impossible for mo to lay. It ls impossible even for rne to makes

Outlined by Judge Ar. senauit in Interesting Address at Summer. side Last Night.

A meeting of Bummenlide members of the PEI. Publicity and Tourist Aa- ciation was held last night and took the pleasurable form of a supper at Eddyb tea rooms, which was put on and served in splendid style. The object of the meeting which was ab- ly presided over by Senator McAr- thur was to select ten teams to can- vass Summerslde for subscriptions to the association. This ‘was done and the teams will start work at once.

MrfJustice Arsenault addressed the meeting in his most interesting and convincing manner outlining the good

association, work which it would be interesting when any one was in Charlottetown t0 go to the olflce there and see for themselves. He deplored that the lsiand had no bureau of statistics which had been proposedto the government but nothing had yet developed. He pointed out how the tourist trafilc was increasing every yell‘. making up to railway! lo long hauls what they had lost in ‘short hauls through autos. From the bur- eau now opened in Toronto he look- ed for a very large increase in tour- ists to the Island from Ontario. In all parts the Island is getting more popular every year as a tourist resort but what we are up against 1g the lack of hotel and other tourist ac- commodation»

Judge Arsenault pointed out that last year 4,000 motor cars came to file Island and this year he fully ex- pccted,5,000. The C. N. R. llad de- cided to build a hotel at Charlotte- town which would be a benefit to the whole Island. It would be an inducement for people to coma go the Island.

After referring to the great amount of publicity P. E. Island is getting in tho Dress from the railways and other sources. Judge Arsenault stat- ed that the drive for subscriptions to l the association now- on in Charlotio- town was meeting with great success, subscriptions ranging from t5 tn-gllio. Last year the 4000 oars brought an "Bruin of three persons to the our, 12000 to the Island and over 1800 came by rail, equal to a city of 20,000 pec- ple. With the additional accommo- dation in the new carferry and 1am- on a causeway connecting u; mm the mainland there would be a steady increase in tourists year by year.

Federal cavalry outposts withdrew to their entrench- ments as insurgbnt cavalry came within firing distance of the city. The rebels continued to advance in the face of a terrific storm of rifle and machine gun fire from the de- fenders of the city. This correspon- dent witnessed tha clash from a roof top within the federal entrenchments. The rebel cavalry charged fast at the cntrenchments. Rebel horses crumpl- ed to the ground as they were struck by the withering fire. The rebel cav- airy composed mostly o1 Yaqui and Mayo Indians. fought in the aPDrov- ed Indian style. They circled the federal trenches closing in upon their
