‘Mr. Sullivan’s Speech

On the Repeal of the Assessment, Act.

ee

LAST SESSION

LD IVERED

Hoy. Mr, Suxtiyan said ¢-~ This debate }was/ opened by a long, wordy, windy, {nonsensical speech from the hon. member |for Tiguish. He did not make a single /point against the Government In fact, every point he made was against himself. | The political audacity of the-hon. member 'is amazing. -He says that although, he | spoke against the measure before the House | he intends te vote forit. “It is very hard’ he says, “‘ to speak against » Bill for which ‘one intends to vote.’”’ The remarkable, the wonderful inconsistency of the hon. mem | ber could not be more strikingly displayed | When the Government were not in a posi- ition to repeal the Assessment Act, this hon. igentlemen found fault with them because they did not doit. But as svon as they are in a position to repeal it, he finds fault with the Government beeause they intend to do so. Now, when L was addressing the House on the motion to go into supply in the year 1881, I see by the Parliamentary Reporter-that Loused,these words; ‘* The Government ‘intend to carry on the policy of economy which they have inaugurated, to the end of their term. TI hope by that time that we shali be able to show the country that we have done well; and I dare say that, if the people desire it, we shall by that time be able to abolish the tax curse which our predecessors introduced, and by their subsequent extravagance, suc ceeded in fastening upon the country. We are preparing for this by economizing. We hhave cut down the expenditure of the Government as Jow as possible, and T trust that we shall in a_ very short “time be enabled to readjust the That was stat- year ; and shows that we were then looking forward to, and preparing for the repeal 6f the Assessment Act. But our ‘opponents tell us that it is being done now because we are now going to the country. | For my own part, I do not see that we shall gain anything in the election by re- ‘pealing the Assessment Act; and I am ‘certain that if. we were not now in a posi- ‘tion, such as we were never in before,—if | we are not now in a position to carry on ‘the public business of the country without the aid of the Assessment Act, we should now move to repeal it. That we are, be-

ins‘ead $30,265.02. In not one single item was the estimate of Mr. Davies correct, wn@ in several, asiIthave been shown, his exti- mate was ridi¢vlously wrong. The revenue actually receiyed.in 1878 was $312,684.34, or $40,504.66 Tess than the amount of the estimate. Yet hon) tembers of the Op-. position—members of the Davies Govern- ment—have, the hardihood, to attack the present Government on account of a differ- ence of about $2000, and to say that the estimates now on the table of the’ House are not reliable. We are told that when the present Government eame into power there was a balance to the credit) of othe Province. Now, according to a state- ment of the Provincial Auditor, the indebtedness of the Prowince when we took office was $73,864.33. But after we had time to look carefally into. the accounts, we found that, the actual indebtedness of the Province ,at that time, was a litile over $61,000. That indebtedness we have now paid off. It has, at last, been completely wiped ont, and we have now plaged to: the credit of the Province upwards of $12,900. This balance was obtained by degrees. On the 3ist December, 1880, there was still a balance against the Province of $2,690.64— thongh it is true we had in that year a surplus of revenue over expenditure of about $12,000, and it was not till the end of 1881 that we had a balance to the credit of the Province and found ourselvesin a position to repeal the Assessmeut Act. The Province is now in the best position it has been since it was united with the Dominion ; and in my opinion, direct taxation mxy be; avoided for several years—unless, indeed,

opponents should again gain possession of the Treasury ts gc satiched that the Government are ina position to

the Assessment Act; and being in this position, is it desirable that it shouid be

retained upon the Siatute Bodk? The hon. member for West River was in this House in the, year, 1879; when the

Assessment. Act waa under ation, that hon. gemtleman made a speech which is reported as follows :--.

‘*Mr. Farquharson had changed his mind considerably since this Lill first came before the House. The Statute Labor, Law was about to be repealed and. to be substituted by the bill now before the House, making provision for an entire change in the public roai,system. The farmers would now be called upon to pay a tax instead,of workin npon the roads for a certain number at hours as formerly, He knew from personal observations, that the old system of road making had worked pretty well in some districts of Queen’s Connty ; and that it

yoni a doubt, in this position, is shown by the statements I have had the honor to submit to this Hdnsé; and bythe estine

| which have been laid upon the table. The

bon. member for Tignish says that we have no surplus, I say that we have a surplus! on the transactions of last year of over $14,000, and that we had at the end of! laxt year a balance in favor of the Province | of upwards of $12,000, as clearly shown by | the public accounts, But, it has been; charged that we exeeeded the estimates of | last year ; and it is argued that there is no| ‘guarantee that they will not be exceeded’ jnext year. Well, estimates are at best: j but an approximation ; and they rarely or jmever are precisely correct. Bat, Mr.

Chairman, the estimates of last year were jnever, in the history of this Isiand, so ‘nearly approached as they were last -year. I make this statement deliberately, and I challenge comparisons. The expenditures of jast year amounted ‘to about $261,000.

/Of that sum, $3:225 were paid to Mr.

Davies, which were drawn from: the land | fund at Ottawa, and had nothing whatever ‘todo with the expenditure of the year. This reduces the amount to $257,775.

Then there were other expenditures, amounting to about $2000, which were ex- travrdinary, and others not properiy belonging to the year. _Deducting, | these, the actual expenditure of the year | wili be reduced to $255,000; and the esti- lmates were .$253,000. As the _ receipts were found towards the close of the year to be in excess of the expenditure my honor- -abl» friend, the Commissioner of Pubic Works iaid out about $4,500 more than he needed, and over and above the amount es imated for outlays in his department.

But for this, it will be seen that the differ-,

ence between the estimates and the expenvi- ture of last year would have been only a trifle—between one and two thousand dollars. I ask any member of the Uppusi- | tion to point out any estimate of any pre vious year which was so nearly appr: ached by the actual expenditure. Let us look, for a moment, at the estimates of the Local Government of which the Hon. member fur West River was a member. In 1878, Mr. , Davies stated that the receipts of the year ‘would be $322,189.00, Of jthe estimared receipts of that year 1 may say that so in- |correct were they, so carelessly prepared-— that they were not even rightly aoded up. The items of Mr. Davies’ estimate tor 1878, mghily amounted not to $522,189 but to $353.189, as follows :—

Doiainion subsidy Land Office

$159,764 00 65,000 OV

| Dominion land damages 30,425.00 | Arrears Assessment, 1877 5,000.00 | Fees for offices, etc. , 55,000.00 Assessment and Poll Tax 38 ,00U.00 Total $353,189.00

There sbould certainly be no difficulty im estimating correctly the amount of the Dowminivn subsidy. But Mr. Davies did no* even do this wih accuracy. There isa diffi rence of about $760 between the esti- mates of Mr. Davies and the amount ac- tually received from the Dominion Gov- ‘ernment. Mr. Davies estimated that he |would receive $65,000 from the Land ‘Office. the amount feally obtained was $54,379.42. Insteed uf gettin $5,000 for ‘the arrears of the Assessment. of 1877, Mir. Davies received $3,951.30. For fecs from

was a direct benefiteto farm: rs to bé allowe to work on the roads in front of their own ari” The” was now deking away this right and asked the people to pay a tax instead, and the mvney thus raised , was, to a great extent carried away and given to the other two counties—Prince and King’s. Queen's had about. dontle the length of road possessed by either of the other counties and yet was allowed only about the same suin for keeping them in repair, The old system would have worked er than this one under such circumstantes. He was now called upon to vote in favor of a bill that would place his constituents in a far worse position than they are at present. If the grauts for roads and bridges had been divided between the three counties in propgr proportions he would. have supported this _ bill ; but..as matters now. stood, he re- quired a better explanation than had been given for the bad treatment Queen's County had received at the hands of the Government respecting its road grant. Ad- ditional grants were promised but there was no certainty that justice would be done to Queen’s when they were yiven, That county would be the looser under Ghe néw system, to the extent, of at Mast, sixty per cent. Looking at this fact, he could not support this Assessment Pill, evils, the- old system and the new—he would choose the least, by retaining, as far as his vote went, the latter.”

Now, Mr. Chairman, that was the speech made by the member for West River in 1877. It wiil be seen that he spoke against the passage of the Assessment Act, and that he expressed his entire approval of the system of Statute Labor. But he now finds fault with us fer proposing to repeal the Assessment Act, and he opposed the Government when we re-enacted the Statute Labor Law upon the improved plan. It will be admitted that the hon. member is, at al! events, somewhat incon- sistent. Inconsistency ie not, however, a fault from which the other members of the Opposition are free. With respect to the repeal of the Assessment Act, what have weseen! Afterall the long speeches we have heard, it is amazing to see that they are allowing the Bill repealing the Assese- ment Act to pass without proposing a single resolution or giving a single vote against it. Practically they vote for the repeal of the Assessment Act, while they spoke labori- ously against its repeal. The hon. member who does this is acting not merely with in- consistency—he is acting dishonestly. He says ** the Government are acting wrong ;” and again he says, ‘‘I will vote with the Government.” As a matter,of fact, he votes for that which he says is wrong. Tiat i the position—— the eontemptible position — which will bé~ occupied by the hon. member for Tignish, by the hon. member for Bideford, by the hon. meuber for West River, and by every hoa, ponte. says the Assessment Act ought not to“be repealed,and yet per-

mits the Bill ling it to unopposed. But, Mr. Chairinen, soverel ‘itrevalent

matters have beén dragged wito oe dis- cussion of this question ; and at ong Others there is that of the payme..ts. which have beew meade to Mr. Davies.
